By this point, the fire in their barracks had been almost extinguished. But the main ------ granary has not yet been extinguished. The reason is simple. There was too much food in it. It was too late to extinguish it when the fire rose again. This went on for more than an hour. Long Aotian and the others had already retreated to Baoji City. And their food is still being eaten mercilessly by the fire. In such a situation, it is almost burned out. The night was still lit by fire.

After leaving the gate of Baoji City, the army of the Xuanwu Legion drove directly to the enemy's barracks.

The sound of horses' hooves and footsteps on the ground made the soldiers of the Wa Kingdom feel a little bad.

"The people of the Divine Dragon Empire have attacked. More and faster chapters are here. The people of the Dragon Empire are here."

At this time, a soldier of the Japanese kingdom who ran in from outside the barracks shouted loudly in the barracks.

It doesn't matter if it's not called. This sleep suddenly made the scene chaotic. As soon as they heard that the team of the Divine Dragon Empire had attacked, the soldiers here didn't care about fighting the fire. began to flee in all directions. Some of the soldiers were even planning to start running away.

Flutter

After cutting off a soldier who ran away from him, Matsui Ichiro shouted to everyone with a dark face: "Stand up for me at once, and prepare to meet the enemy." Run again and be punished with death. ”

Originally, Ichiro Matsui was angry today when he saw that his carefully hidden granary was burned down. In addition, the trap that was painstakingly designed was broken by Long Aotian. Not only did he lose his troops and lose his generals, but also let Long Aotian escape, he was full of anger, and there was no place to vent his anger, and at this time, he encountered the attack of the Xuanwu Army at this juncture, and he had a big head. At this moment, he felt guilty when he saw his soldiers running around in a mess, as if they were about to escape. As the first general of the Japanese Kingdom, when did he encounter such a situation? Seeing a few fleeing soldiers around him, he was immediately aroused by anger and slashed down.

A loud shout immediately resounded throughout the barracks. When all the soldiers saw the soldier who had been cut in two by Matsui Ichiro, they immediately fell silent.

Under the leadership of their officers, the group quickly stood up and ran towards the outside of the barracks. Because at this time, the soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion had already come to their barracks.

As soon as they left the barracks, the military opponents of both sides immediately began to fight. The soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion took advantage of the low morale of the enemy army. There are no chapters for the team chaos. Coupled with the high morale and sufficient preparation on his side, he suddenly entered the enemy army.

The battle between the two armies was suddenly the Xuanwu Legion gaining a comprehensive suppressive advantage. Taking advantage of the situation, they launched a massacre of the enemy.

Yes. It's a naked massacre. The enemy had little room to fight back.

I saw that my side was showing defeat. Matsui Ichiro couldn't help but be furious. But what can be done. If this continues, defeat is a foregone conclusion. He alone is powerless.

"Prepare to retreat. Order our men to retreat. ”

After seeing the one-sided situation, Matsui Ichiro yelled at several officers around him.

Seeing that Ichiro Matsui was angry. And they themselves wanted to retreat. At this time, after hearing the order, the soldiers around him immediately blew the horn of retreat.

After piercing a soldier of the Xuanwu Legion beside him with a sword, the armies of the Wa Kingdom and the Marchilan Kingdom, led by Matsui Ichiro, began to slowly retreat into the distance. Apparently they had made up their minds to abandon the camp. They must now get out of this terrible area as soon as possible. Pull out the encirclement of the Xuanwu Legion.

Seeing the enemy preparing to evacuate. Naturally, Knowlton didn't want to pass up this opportunity. Immediately the order was given to pursue.

On one side, the armies of the Wa Kingdom and the Marchilan Kingdom continued to retreat and flee for their lives. On one side is the relentless pursuit of the Xuanwu Legion. The scene was a strange situation------ the soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion were all howling and rushing down the rear of the enemy army, slashing the enemy soldiers who were running slowly. And the soldiers of the Wa Kingdom and the soldiers of the East Kingdom of Maqilan over there saw that they were lagging behind, and then they ran forward while crying and shouting. It can be said that the crying and scolding formed a whole scene in the scene.

"Grandma's. I'll see where you turtle grandchildren can go. ”

"Yaya's. Die to me, you trash. Today, Grandpa is going to send you to the western sky. ”

"Woo woo woo I don't dare. I surrendered. Don't kill me. I give up. ”

"You still want to surrender. There are no windows, let alone doors. Suffer death. ”

?? Shouts and curses like this were heard on the battlefield.

The soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion here are getting more and more energetic. The more you kill, the more excited you get. And the soldiers of the Wa Kingdom and the Maqilan Kingdom over there also showed the horror of human survival at this moment. It's just running fast. Let the people of the Xuanwu Legion chase after them are also out of breath.

This went on for more than an hour. Everyone couldn't run, but they insisted on walking and chasing. Under such circumstances, after scattering a large number of enemy corpses along the way, the soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion drove the enemy back to the small city they had occupied some time ago on the border, and then stopped.

Looking at the small city in front of it, which was originally its own, it has now become a castle for the enemy. Kimchi yelled, "General." Otherwise, let's take advantage of the situation and kill it now. While they are in a state of panic, we will take the city back. ”

Kimchi, who was killing hard, said unsatisfied.

"Forget it. You look at the situation on their walls now. ”

Look at the walls in front of you. Knowlton didn't want to take the opportunity to recapture it at this moment. But the situation does not allow them to do so.

Hearing Knowlton's words, Kimchi looked towards the city walls. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it. This scared them. I saw that at this moment, I don't know when the city wall was full of dense enemy troops. I saw that they were all holding bows and arrows at the moment.

"Mother, when did so many enemy soldiers come? ”

See this. Kimchi couldn't help but say slightly.

"You haven't forgotten that they had an army of 300,000. At that time, their team was only 200,000 people under our Baoji City. It looks like there are 100,000 people left, and they're all staying here. The situation in which they stay here is also very simple. That's just in case. In case the front troops are defeated, they still have a way to retreat and a retreat. The second is that their task may be to provide supplies to the team in front of them. ”

After seeing this, Knowlton couldn't help but sigh slightly and said with emotion.

"Forget it, then. Now our soldiers are tired, and I don't think it's time to siege the city. At this time, the siege will only cause great damage to ourselves. We are now in control of the situation, so to speak. We can take a long-term view of the rest. Let's settle here for the time being, first come, first come. Anyway, I'm sure they won't be able to get enough food in the city at this time. The grain in front was burned by us. The back transportation route is blocked by our team, and I believe that they will soon have problems. ”

Thinking of the current situation that is extremely favorable to my side. The division commander of the heavy cavalry couldn't help but say softly.

"Yes. That's it. Let's settle down here now. We'll take the long view of the rest. ”

Hear the words of this person. Knowlton couldn't help but frown and said.

Although what he said made a lot of sense. At the moment they are indeed in a very advantageous position. But what they all knew in their hearts was that they didn't say it. That is, the grain in front of the place was destroyed by them. But is it true that the grain in the rear is blocked? Not necessarily. First of all, the dukes of the two provinces are the Duke of Griffin and his brother. Now that they see the situation of the empire being attacked from all sides, it is still a question whether they will continue to obey the orders of the empire and help them intercept the logistics and supply of the enemy army. But even if they promised to help. Are they really going to give it their all? The Empire is now at a critical juncture, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not have their own private thoughts and selfish motives. Maybe they won't really be able to help. Even if they did their best to help, would they really be able to intercept the enemy's food and grass?

Thinking of these several officers present, I couldn't help but have a big brain. But they didn't say who they were. They don't want to break their morale and confidence at this time. They prefer to believe in those two provinces once.

"Good. The light cavalry went back to clean up the battlefield and the enemy barracks. By the way, help the logistics troops to supply supplies. We stayed and camped on the spot. Clean up the venue. ”

Seeing this, Knowlton decisively gave the order. At this time, the possibility of the enemy attacking is not very likely. After all, they wouldn't risk attacking at this time when their morale was low. This would not do them any good.

After receiving the order, everyone took action one after another, and went about their own business.

Looking at the opposite wall, Knowlton couldn't help but sigh again. This wall is called Baoji Pass. He is the former city of Baoji City. It was built a hundred years ago when the Shenlong Empire was founded. In order to form a first fire line in front of Baoji City. Unexpectedly, a hundred years later, it was occupied by the enemy at their hands. This situation makes them feel a little lost.

"Baoji Pass. I believe that it will not be long before you return to the arms of the Empire. ”

After a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, Knowlton muttered. Then he turned and walked towards the soldiers. Because they rushed out to fight, they didn't have tents or anything like that. So at this moment all the soldiers were sitting on the open ground and resting.

It's late at night. The dark night was covered with silver frost due to the moonlight. It looks a little bit more wonderful.
