Volume 8 The Great War Begins Chapter 480 Sneak Out
Needless to say, the combat effectiveness of the barbarians is needless to say, they are brave and fearless warriors, they are not afraid of death, especially after being put on the side by the army of the Great Xia Empire, they are even more angry, how can the barbarians allow their defeat?
General Cheng Lao faced the almost crazy attack of the barbarians, he has long had his own plans, he is worthy of being an old general who has been fighting on the field for many years, although he has not had much contact with the barbarians before, but he still understands a little bit of the temperament of the barbarians, he took advantage of the reckless bravery of the barbarians, secretly arranged in the woods, with crossbowmen and traps as the main force, assisted by infantry to fight the enemy who broke in, it only takes one night, he only needs to hold on to one night is enough, make good use of the night, only tonight, become famous, and let the rest be recorded by future generations。
After several major battles, the barbarians suffered heavy casualties, and the Great Xia Empire was not easy here, although the barbarians were ambushed every time, but they really fought, their combat effectiveness was still able to exert leeway, the most elite warriors of the Great Xia Empire, one person still could not compete with a barbarian warrior, only two people, or more than one person, could fight with the barbarians, the barbarians lost a thousand, and the soldiers of the Great Xia Empire also lost at least eight hundred, there was no medical equipment here, and they were injured, even if they were not seriously injured, they could only wait for death, fortunately, the soldiers of the Great Xia Empire knew the purpose of their trip, they were not seeking victory, Because there is no victory at all, as long as the army led by Hua Nong can successfully break out of the Changhe City, then they can be regarded as having completed their task, and this army is begging for death.
General Cheng is resting behind such a big tree at this time, every time he fights, he has to do it himself, the people around him say that this is particularly inappropriate, although General Cheng is brave, but the old general is old after all, the body is not stronger than back then, the hard battle is fought hard, the young generals can't stand it, let alone an old man, what makes the soldiers more worried is that in case the old general Cheng is in the middle of the battle, the first to go, how can it be good, then how to fight the next battle, the Great Xia Empire is a backwater battle this time, only the commander is still here, then can he insist, if the old general Cheng falls, then this side of the woods can still hold on until tomorrow, This is still an unknown, so many major generals don't want the old general to be in danger, so they left a few shrewd and powerful people by the side of General Cheng to protect him, and now among these people, three people have fallen, I don't know who the next one is?
Where do they understand, General Cheng's good intentions, as a commander, in the Jedi, if he doesn't fight, then how the soldiers below give up their lives, the generals of the Great Xia Empire are too cherished of their lives, stay on the battlefield after the three armies, as the commander-in-chief, should set an example, if the commander is retreating, then the whole army has no morale, talk about combat effectiveness, General Cheng has been fighting horses all his life, he has already achieved fame, and he will enter the tomb of heroes after death, he has enjoyed glory and experienced all kinds of life, not to mention death now, He is not afraid of anything, he has spare heat, all he can do is to help General Hua Nong and make the last bit of deeds for the Great Xia Empire.
"Old General, this is a little spring water I brought from the stream, you must be thirsty, drink some water. A little general walked in front of General Cheng and filled the water with his battle helmet, but the water had already turned red, and the battle by the stream had already stained the stream with blood.
"Thank you, what else is going on over there of the barbarians?" General Cheng took the water, and drank it without looking at it, how could he not smell the smell of blood, but this is the battlefield, the most critical juncture of the war, it is very good to have a bite of food to eat and a sip of water to drink.
"Those guys haven't attacked for an hour, according to our estimates, they came to attack the first few times, too hasty, and not enough troops, not our opponents, now they must be deploying troops, with the strongest posture to attack us, the next period of time, we will fall into a more fierce and difficult battle, I don't know if we can carry it. The young general lowered his head and said, he is still so young, and it is inevitable that it is sad to die here, but when General Cheng asked them to choose by themselves, he still chose to stand up and sacrifice himself to fulfill others, which is a worthy deed.
"The barbarians are not stupid, we are here, there is no way to take the initiative to attack them, we can only wait for them to attack, next time, it must be the strongest attack of the barbarians, order the soldiers in front, continue to hurry up and build traps, the crossbowmen are ready, fortunately we are in the dark, they are in the light, this is beneficial to us, this forest is difficult to develop a large army, according to my expectations, they will not have more than 30,000 people at most to attack us, they must take the method of vertical and horizontal attack, then we will retreat for advance, advance for retreat, fight the barbarians virtually and realistically, stick to this forest, as long as one night, there are still four hours, enough, believe meI believe in you too. General Cheng said.
"Old General Cheng, we are not afraid of death, and we know that we will definitely die on this trip, but I am worried, will Miss Hua Nong's army break through from Changhe City smoothly, if Miss Hua Nong does not break through, then wouldn't we have sacrificed in vain?"
"Hehehe, don't you believe in yourself, don't you believe in General Hanong, what about her, but the first fierce general of our Great Xia Empire is the goddess of the empire, in the face of such a situation, Miss Hanong will definitely be able to turn the tide, I believe in her, don't doubt this matter, Miss Hanong will not let us sacrifice in vain, it's better to do our own thing, otherwise, is there any room for reversal now?" General Cheng smiled blatantly, even if he was on the battlefield, attitude was still a very important thing, General Cheng's smile never gave people exaggerated, but it was solemn in his heart, he smiled like this, which made people's mood better.
"Of course I believe in General Hanong, I just asked just now, old general, then I have nothing else to do, I took someone to set up defenses, and please take care of the old general, if it is possible, what I said is that if it is possible, the old general, you have to live, take our brother to live, and return to the Great Xia Empire, didn't you say that we just need to hold on until dawn?" The major general said innocently, how would he know, there is basically no such possibility, the barbarians will not let them go, and the Demon Domain Alliance will not accept their surrender, this tree enemy is located in the hinterland, surrounded by strong enemies, only 20,000 people, how to resist, there is only a dead end.
General Cheng Lao chose to give him hope, and said with a smile: "Okay, I promise you, as long as we hold on until dawn, after seeing General Hua Nong's signal, we will retreat, then choose the northeast direction, I have seen it before, the army of the barbarians over there is relatively small, and after a valley is the mountains and forests, if we escape into the mountains and forests, we can use the advantages of the mountains and forests to stay away from the pursuit of the barbarians, maybe we can really return to the Great Xia Empire smoothly, by the way, what is your name?"
"I, I'm just a nobody, if General Cheng doesn't know how to call me, just call me Xiaozhou, I died my parents in my early years, so I joined the army, followed General Hua Nong to fight in the south and north, almost every battle must be won, I admire Miss Hua Nong very much, and I also know that Miss Hua Nong is the real general of the Great Xia Empire, he is always thinking about the Great Xia Empire, compared to other main generals, Miss Hua Nong deserves the title of the goddess of the Great Xia Empire, so this time I know that Miss Hua Nong is in trouble, I decided to sacrifice myself to protect Miss Hua Nong, it can be said that I am not fighting for the empire, nor for the millions of troops, It's just for Miss Hanono, we people can die, and it's not a pity to die, but Miss Hanong can't. The major general said.
"Hehehe, Xiaozhou, I can't see it, you like General Hanong so much, it's no wonder, looking at the empire, there are many outstanding people, they are the hope of the empire, and Miss Hanong is the representative of these people, Miss Hanong can be worth 100,000 troops, the long road is long, the years are long, the empire wants to develop, and Miss Hanong's assistance is indispensable, and I, for example, am already a lot of age, even if I don't want to die, I will have to die in a few decades. General Cheng said.
"I hope that General Cheng will live a long life, Miss Hanong is not only outstanding, but also has a unique appearance, it is not a normal thing to be liked, but it's a pity, I like Miss Hanong, Miss Hanong doesn't know, there are too many people who like Miss Hanong, I am a kind of person, I am destined to not even have the opportunity to talk to Miss Hanong, and who will Miss Hanong like, no one knows this, if there is such a person, that person will feel very happy, old general, do you know, I really talked to Miss Hanong once, that time he went to the barracks to practice the army, I happened to be on duty standing guard, Miss Hanong walked by, Asked me if the weather was too hot, what was needed in the army, etc., I thought Miss Hanong was a fairy high above, but I didn't expect her to be so approachable. The major general said.
"People are the same, there is no need to look down on yourself, sometimes, it's not that others look down on you, but you yourself look down on yourself first, go, fight, at this point in time, the army of the barbarians should also come. General Cheng got up and took his spear, and the next battle was the real battle.
"Yes, that subordinate has gone down, the old general must take care. After the young general finished speaking, he turned around and left, maybe this parting, leaving only such a resolute back, General Cheng couldn't help but sigh, if the soldiers of the Great Xia Empire are like this, then how can the demon domain be attacked, thousands of years of conquest, and how many bones are sacrificed for it under high power, the reason why life is life is life, that is, people are born and are destined to have their own things to do.
Xiong Jiang is outside the woods, and the barbarian army is ready, just waiting for his order, he can attack the woods, and the soldiers of the Great Xia Empire, who are weak and weak, can hardly resist the sharp edge of the barbarians.
"Chief, we are ready to attack at any time, and now there is only an hour and a half left before the time you agreed with the king. An adjutant general reminded.
"Okay, pass on my general order, the whole army will attack, as long as I meet the soldiers of the Great Xia Empire, I will kill without mercy, and no one will be left, I will use the blood of these dog minions today to pay tribute to the heroic souls of my dead barbarian warriors. Xiong Jiang shouted.
Then the barbarian army burst into the woods, just after marching 100 meters, it was met by the first wave of resistance of the army of the Great Xia Empire, the two sides killed a whole army annihilated, the annihilated side was naturally the army of the Great Xia Empire, the Great Xia Empire used the strength of thousands of people, left a crossbowman on the tree, dug a pit under the woods, buried a trap, and gave the barbarians a heavy blow, but these things, it was difficult to resist the attack of the barbarians, and then the two sides fell into a hand-to-hand battle, the disadvantage of the warriors of the Great Xia Empire was immediately revealed, and the barbarians were not afraid of death, this station was almost the most tragic and tragic battle, and the strongest fighting will of both sides was taken out, many seriously injured soldiers on both sides used their bodies to hit each other at the end, and both sides were like this, which shows the degree of tragedy.
Xiong Jiang also quickly joined the battle, this battle is by no means something that one or two strong masters can quickly solve, even if Xiong Jiang is a strong man at the level of a demon king, how many soldiers of the Great Xia Empire can be killed by another person, the strong man of the Great Xia Empire, how can one person turn the tide?
Half an hour passed, Xiong Jiang only advanced a few hundred meters or so, and there were corpses behind him, even he himself felt a deep shock, this army of the Great Xia Empire was the most powerful army he had ever seen, he didn't know what was going on, what was supporting these weak guys to fight.
"Advance quickly, don't worry about those traps, tell the strong people on our side, let them take the lead, destroy these traps, and give priority to killing those crossbowmen on the trees, grandma's, I don't believe it, they still have 100,000 people, just tens of thousands, how long can they resist?" Xiong Jiang was already a little anxious, so he ordered the whole army to attack desperately.
General Cheng also brazenly stepped onto the battlefield, he ordered the army to change some tactics slightly, to deal with the barbarian attack method, he ordered, when the barbarians attacked, the defenders first hidden, and did not attack directly, when the barbarians passed by them, they fought with the barbarians from the side and back, completely disrupted the barbarians' offensive ideas, the whole army finally broke into pieces, and fought at will in the battle, as long as it was fighting with the barbarians, then it would be fine, no matter how you fought, as long as you were fighting, you could stop the barbarians。
General Cheng Lao is also desperate, such a desperate way may really be effective.
Sure enough, because the formation of the barbarians was very scattered, within a range of ten miles, it was almost a one-line sweeping method, when the soldiers of the Great Xia Empire appeared from among them instead of from in front of them, they were a little panicked, and the previous formation was so difficult to maintain, once the formation was changed, There is a breakthrough, then the army of the Great Xia Empire can launch a fierce attack from their loophole, so as to mess up the arrangement of the barbarians, fight with the barbarians in close combat, and then leave the battlefield, so that the entire barbarian army has become a plate of sand, Xiong Jiang's last order, and it has to become a separate battle, full attack and the like, because it is difficult for him to gather the army on such a long front, and the army he brings is not very many, 20,000 people are scattered in this forest, there is no truth at all, so the current battlefield has become, ten barbarians, a battalion and other small groups of attacks, Their goal is only ahead, when they meet the soldiers of the Great Xia Empire, they choose to fight, if they don't meet, they continue to move forward until they penetrate the woods here, Xiong Jiang has another purpose this time, that is, to reinforce the Changhe City, open up the forest nodes, to say that all these Great Xia Empire troops are annihilated, it is only secondary, otherwise, let Hua Nong's army really break through, then the battle is a great strategic failure, the shame is not only the army of the barbarians, but also the glory of the barbarians, especially in the middle of the mountain, he and Yu Yi are guaranteed to be good, and they will be the lord of Changhe City, to take down Hua Nong, if he is run away by Hua Nong, then how will he face the feather coat in the future.
On the other hand, Banshan is also mobilizing all the troops, following the Xiong River, heading to the woods, to surround Changhe City, even if the military strength is not enough, Shui Yuntian's reinforcements, and the reinforcements of the Demon Domain Alliance have not arrived, he can also ensure that Hua Nong's breakthrough is not so easy, at least drag Hua Nong, isn't it?
Outside the woods, the army is surging, at this time in Shui Yuntian's camp, the army has also been prepared, led by Yumei himself, to Changhe City, Lin Demon Yue is also in the army, but he did not follow the army, but slept in the military tent, not caring about everything, in fact, Lin Demon Yue is not careless, Hua Nong is equivalent to Lin Demon Yue's relatives, how can Lin Demon Yue sit idly by, really see her being besieged, Lin Demon Yue will not save too many people, but Lin Demon Yue's friend, Lin Demon Yue will not watch them have an accident, so Lin Demon Yue slept halfway, suddenly opened her eyes, did not say goodbye, and quietly sneaked out from the side of the military camp to the direction of Long River City, relying on Lin Demon Yue's foot strength, he will definitely reach Changhe City before Yumei, and it will be difficult to be discovered along the way.
