Chapter 179: Faith
Not only did the commander of the Black Wolf Force die, but it also lost more than 1,300 soldiers, and the rest of the more than 1,700 people fled for their lives.
More than 20 percent of the local troops of the empire will be withdrawn from the theater for rest and recuperation, more than 30 percent will be considered incapacitated, and 35 percent may have to be abolished. After all, they are not elite legions, they are just troops of ordinary legions, and it is impossible to retreat like the Black Storm Sentinel troops before the Immortal Bird Legion, with more than 80% casualties.
In fact, except for the battle of faith, there are very few troops in history who fought to the last man and would rather die than retreat.
After all, in the army, 10% of the combat casualties are considered a setback, and if the casualties reach 20%, even if they are severely damaged, and the casualties reach 30%, it is basically a chaotic scene in which the soldiers cannot find the soldiers, and the soldiers cannot find the generals.
Of course, the general elite legions are not among them, especially the elite legions of the Chinese Empire.
Although it is rare for the elite legion to fight to the last man and not retreat, the elite legion has a particularly fine tradition, that is, once the commander dies in battle, the deputy commander will immediately take over the command. If the deputy commander is also killed, the highest-ranking officer on the field automatically takes over the command. If a general-rank officer dies in battle, then the officer will stand up and command, and if the officer dies in battle, the captain will stand up and command.
When the troops suffered heavy losses and had to retreat, the most senior officers of the elite regiment would personally lead the way and protect the weaker warriors from leaving.
The formation of this tradition is not effective except for the fact that when being pursued, the officers are stronger than the minions, and in the face of powerful enemies, such as super zombies, the minions will not play any role. In addition, because the officers of the Imperial Elite Legion have a high level of consciousness, and are even mentally prepared to sacrifice at any time.
However, Chen Ning faced the Black Wolf Army tonight, a unit under the Greedy Wolf Legion, although it was Liu Luanlin's trump card force, but after the casualties exceeded 40%, and the commander was also killed, the Black Wolf Legion was completely defeated.
In order to hide his true identity, Chen Ning quickly used the devouring technique to absorb all the blood of the dead at the scene after the enemy fled, making the entire scene look more like a zombie.
Then, Chen Ning reflexively entered the birch forest, put on his military uniform, brought standard weapons, and hurried towards the direction of Fulongpo, hoping to catch up.
When Chen Ning arrived at Fulongpo, he found that Bai Yuhao and Kan Jing still had more than 500 Judgment Angel warriors, who had already been in close contact with the Heavenly Wolf Force led by Huang He, and the battle had reached a white-hot stage.
The surrounding area is full of corpses, it turns out that Bai Yuhao and Kan Jing have released all the homeless people who were used as zombie rations, and let everyone follow the team, but when they were ambushed by the Sky Wolf Army and the battle started, these homeless people ran away like crazy, and Bai Yuhao and Kan Jing were unable to make these homeless people honest.
Eventually, hundreds of displaced people died in the exchange of fire, and more than 1,000 others scattered and fled.
These homeless people are regarded as exiles in Suzaku City, and they are already living a life of having a meal and not a meal, and they can't see the future. This time, they were kidnapped by the corrupt local army of the empire and sold them to zombies as rations, they have lost confidence in the empire in their hearts, if Bai Yuhao and Kan Jing's troops do not encounter a battle, they will go back with Bai Yuhao and Kan Qin.
Now that they are in battle, the homeless people don't care, and everyone doesn't plan to go back to Suzaku City, so they will run for their lives first, and if they are not killed by zombies in the future, they will go to join the rebels.
Chen Ning saw that Bai Yuhao, Kan Jing, and the angel warriors were trapped in a mountain col, besieged by three thousand pairs of heavenly wolf warriors, and there were signs of destruction at any time.
His eyes were suddenly shattered, and he roared angrily, drew his saber and pounced on the Sky Wolf Force like a ghost.
Chen Ning no longer used the power of the Scarlet Tyrant at this time, but the strength of his double eighth-level warrior could not be ignored.
The bullets of those Sky Wolf warriors could not cause substantial damage to Chen Ning at all, Chen Ning carried a dazzling lightsaber and killed into the Sky Wolf Army, because it was an angry shot, plus the blood of more than a thousand people was devoured just now, Chen Ning was in a boiling state, and the shot was more fierce than before.
In an instant, Chen Ning was like a wild wolf that broke into the chicken coop, even though there were a large number of wolf warriors, but they were killed by Chen Ning.
The war in the apocalyptic era is similar to ancient times, paying attention to soldier to soldier and general to general, no ordinary soldier can resist the god-like Chen Ning, the gap is too big, and the tactics of crowds will not work, at this time, there must be strong officers to stand up and block Chen Ning.
In fact, the strength of officers is often the most important part in determining the strength of this force.
As the supreme commander of the Heavenly Wolf Force, that is, Lieutenant Colonel Huang He, he did not hesitate to pounce on Chen Ning, and then fought fiercely with Chen Ning.
Huang He's strength is about the same as Zhang Dongting's strength, they are all ninth-level generals, and Chen Ning is a double eighth-level general, the power of Chen Ning's body black and white martial arts vein dual core burst out, obviously better than Huang He, not long after the battle, soon forced Huang He to retreat frequently.
At this moment, the Judgment Angel troops, who had been surrounded and chased fiercely just now, were finally able to breathe, and everyone found that it was their supreme commander and the god of war in their minds, Chen Ning, who was here, and they all broke out in earth-shattering cheers, and their morale rose sharply.
After all, Chen Ning is definitely a mythical figure in the minds of the soldiers of the Black Legion, especially in the minds of the older group of soldiers, because of the battle under Qingxiu City, because Chen Ning held the black banner to kill the Abomination Lord, the old group of soldiers already had an almost blind worship and trust for Chen Ning.
When Bai Yuhao saw Chen Ning appear, he did not hesitate to kill, and at the same time ordered Kan Jing and the Bull Demon King: "Chen Ning is here, the time for counterattack has come." ”
Kan Jing and the Bull Demon King, in fact, when they saw Chen Ning's figure, they were originally a little panicked, but they also calmed down all of a sudden, it seemed that as long as Chen Ning came, the sky would fall and it would be fine, and Chen Ning was the source of their confidence.
Kan Jing instructed the Bull Demon King: "Captain Niu, you are in charge of directing the battle, and I will help snipe the enemy officers." ”
Immediately, the Bull Demon King shouted: "All the judgment angels listen to the order, check the assault guns, load the bullets, and prepare to return fire." ”
Suga had already picked up the black mamba sniper rifle she had assembled a long time ago, lay on the ground and aimed at a fifth-level lieutenant among the enemies opposite, and without hesitation, she pulled the trigger, and with a loud bang, the bullet directly smashed half of the fifth-level lieutenant's body.
The commander of the Sky Wolf Force was defeated and retreated by Chen Ning, and now he rushed out of an eighth-level Bai Yuhao, which instantly made the Sky Wolf Force jump with chickens and dogs, the formation was chaotic, and the military spirit was unstable.
In addition, every time Suga's sniper rifle sounded, it reaped the life of a small officer, and hundreds of angel soldiers also shot back frantically.
The Heavenly Wolf troops were suddenly a little stunned by this series of changes, and Bai Yuhao killed twenty or thirty opponents in one go, and he was a little unstoppable.
Huang He didn't expect Chen Ning to be so powerful, and he saw Bai Yuhao and Kan Jing killing his people from far and near, which made him anxious and angry.
However, at the moment when Huang He was distracted, Chen Ning had already kicked Huang He in the chest, and immediately kicked Huang He upside down and flew out more than ten meters, although he was protected by the dragon scale armor, but his ribs were still broken several times.
"Sir!"
"Sir, are you alright?"
Huang He's personal soldiers rushed up one after another, some supported Huang He, and some desperately tried to intercept Chen Ning and protect Huang He.
Huang He saw that Zhang Dongting did not appear on the battlefield as agreed, but Chen Ning appeared, and Chen Ning's combat effectiveness was so strong, he knew that it was pointless to continue fighting, and he couldn't defeat the army led by Chen Ning himself, plus those homeless people who fled to death, Chen Ning basically had no witnesses in his hands, and a few people couldn't shake Colonel Liu Luanlin.
So, Huang He turned around and fled without hesitation, and commanded loudly: "Withdraw!"
