Chapter 37: The First Line

After solving Qian Jin, Wang Yuan and Xiao Jingru also quickly counted the troops under them, but the results made their brows lock at the same time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Originally, after the last big war, the battalion under the command of the two was not a full strength, and after such a surprise, now the two of them have only one battalion of men and horses together.

Looking at the more and more Lanxi armies entrenched outside Shizhan Pass, as well as the two elite ironclad armies, Wang Yuan and Xiao Jingru knew that they had underestimated the determination of Lanxi to attack from the beginning.

As an elite superior force, the Ironclad Army with a battalion formation can fight against two or three battalions of light infantry at the same time, plus the original three infantry battalions of the Lanxi Army, even after two major battles, they also have losses, but it is conservatively estimated that the strength of the Lanxi side is still six times that of them.

Now, even if they have regained control of Shizhan Pass in their hands, it is difficult to hold this place with the strength in their hands now, and although the advantage of Chengguan is an advantage, it is not omnipotent.

"Immediately blow up all the obstacles that can be passed in the pass, and everyone immediately retreats to the first-line pass." Under the abnormal crisis, Wang Yuan immediately conveyed the wisest military order.

They must take advantage of the fact that the Lanxi army outside the pass is still dispatching, withdraw from the Shizhan Pass, and use the Shizhan Pass to fully delay the attack of the Lanxi army. Otherwise, once the Lanxi army outside came to their senses and launched a fierce attack, with their current strength, the chances of getting out would be very slim.

There was a loud roar, and almost all the passable plank roads in the stone stack pass were immediately destroyed one by one, so that even if the Lanxi army easily took the stone stack pass, it would take a lot of effort to pass smoothly, so that they would have enough time to get rid of the pursuit of the Lanxi army.

Looking at the swaying sun that was already half-setting in the sky, Xiao Jingru and Wang Yuan then quickly marched towards the first-line pass with all the remaining forces, they must arrive at the first-line pass before the sun completely sets, the Lanxi army will not choose to march at night, so they will have a night to deploy everything.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the clouds on the horizon burst out with a thousand rays of light, and the figures marching on the ground were also stretched slender. After a series of battles, the North Vietnamese troops who are now running for a long distance like this finally arrived at the first-line pass with their exhausted bodies.

But even so, it is a luxury for them to want to rest well, and they must regroup for the next crisis.

The first-line pass is two-thirds shorter than the defense line of the stone stack pass, and in the narrowest place to look up at the sky, you can indeed only see the sky connecting into a line, and the name of the first-line pass also comes from this, and this is indeed an excellent position to hold on.

Like the busy North Vietnamese army here, all the Lancy troops who had successfully occupied Thi Zhan Pass were also not allowed to sit idle, and they received orders that all the bombed-up plank roads must be cleared before dawn, and that tonight would be a sleepless night for both warring sides.

In the Shizhanguan conference hall, unlike the bustle outside, the atmosphere here has been so depressed that people dare not take a deep breath.

Luo Tianye sat at the top of the list, his handsome face was distorted at the moment, and his performance was already a little out of shape compared to his usual calm and calm.

"It's really good, a squadron of Shadow Guards has been exhausted, and the Ironclad Army has been dispatched, and a mere five hundred infantry have successfully broken through." Luo Tianye sarcastically said to Gao Sheng, Kui Ying, and several battalion-level officers who were standing respectfully under him.

Among them, the most heart-wrenching and unacceptable thing for Luo Tianye was the news of the death of all the Shadow Guards, which was equivalent to the officer establishment of a battalion. Maybe ordinary soldiers can be replenished through conscription if they are killed, but these shadow guards with the power of the seal can not be replenished in a moment and a half, even with the national strength of the Lanxi Kingdom, such a consumption is not easy to bear.

After a long time, Kui Ying, who was standing below, opened his mouth to defend: "Your Highness, it's not that we are doing things unfavorably, but this time there is something strange about it. Somehow, two lower Heavenly Sects of the Four Seals suddenly appeared in the North Vietnamese army we ambushed, and if it weren't for them, this North Vietnamese army would not have been able to break through successfully. ”

At this moment, Kui Ying's appearance was already embarrassed, because he was in a hurry, he didn't even change the North Vietnamese military uniform on his body. And the clothes on his chest were still scorched, and through the tears on the clothes, there was still a piercing burn on the exposed skin.

"What are you talking about, two lower Heavenly Sects, when did such a figure appear in the North Vietnamese army." Hearing this, Luo Tianye also had a shock on his face that could not be concealed.

But looking at the injuries on Kui Ying's body, Luo Tianye also knew that he was not lying, no matter what, the strength of Kui Ying's lower Heavenly Sect was indeed undoubted, and the person who could hurt Kui Ying should at least be the lower Heavenly Sect.

Today's all this was indeed beyond Luo Tianye's expectations, and he originally planned to use the wolf smoke of the beacon tower to divide the defenders of Shizhan Pass and disintegrate them one by one. Unexpectedly, the North Vietnamese army that rescued was so strong in combat, not only fighting its way out of the encirclement, but also returning to defence in time to resolve the crisis at Shizhan Pass.

"Your Highness, in fact, there is no need to worry too much, although we did not completely eat this North Vietnamese army in today's battle. But their already lacking men and horses have also been greatly damaged, and even if these remnants retreat to the first line, they will not be able to achieve any climate. Subsequently, Gao Sheng also said with timely relief.

"Hmm" At this point, Luo Tianye's eyebrows stretched a little, although today's battle did not achieve the expected goal, it was not without gain. At least they wiped out half of the North Vietnamese army, and if these two battalions had been stationed at the front line from the beginning, perhaps they would have had a chance to hold on and wait for reinforcements.

But now, even if they called for help as soon as they broke through, according to the information he received, it would take at least two days for the division headquarters of the Fifth Wing to come and go. A thousand men and horses, two ironclad armies against him plus three infantry battalions, holding out for two days is simply a fool's dream.

As for the two lower Heavenly Sects that appeared out of thin air, Luo Tianye didn't worry too much, this was a battlefield, not a fair martial arts competition. No matter how strong a person is, can he beat one hundred and two hundred, can he fight one thousand or two thousand? The phrase "invincible" is a lie, and even if such a person really exists, it cannot be here.

"Pass the order, no matter what, the three armies must set off tomorrow, and this North Vietnamese army must not be given any respite." In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Luo Tianye immediately gave the order to fight.
