At this moment, the enemy's eighth and ninth corps were already in the middle of the theater headquarters and the northern boundary line, and the 10 reorganized corps of the Japanese were divided into five routes to attack.

The three frontal attacks were divided into two units, Zhongyuan Sakurako led the two main forces to attack Gangyue Frontier head-on, Gu Xiuyuan and Luzhu Weng were dispatching troops to resist the enemy at this moment, although Zhongyuan Sakurako's men and horses had beaten the first line of defense, but they encountered fierce resistance in the second line of defense, and the soldiers and horses on both sides were fighting on the front line at the moment.

This side is lively, and there is no idleness next to it, the other way of frontal attack is attacking the four territories of the Wulin League, after receiving the military information, Zhong Shenxiu left the headquarters of the Wulin League and went to the defense area to defend against the enemy, because the enemy's strength is several times that of the righteous army, so Zhong Shenxiu can only defend the main.

The main general of the enemy's army is not a Japanese but a Xia Dynasty person, this person's name is Ye Menglong, his personality is withdrawn, insidious and treacherous, he is a marshal appointed by the pseudo-imperial court, although this person's military talent is powerful, but he is ruthless, and his methods of treating the Xia Dynasty people are more vicious than the Japanese Emperor.

In addition to the frontal assault of these three lines of troops and horses, the other two lines of troops and horses are responsible for cutting off the two flanks of the eastern theater of operations, preventing outside support troops from food and grass, and also preventing the battle guards from escaping from the inside and retreating outside.

This kind of five-way encirclement tactic comes from the Eight Formations, Ling Xia knows whose handwriting it is at a glance, this must be Nakamoto Sakurako's plan, according to intelligence, the enemy's 10th Corps belongs to the main force of the front, I don't know why? They actually left the large army and went deep into the left flank to go deep and go around the border line of the left flank?

Knowing that the enemy's 10th Corps was only 400 miles away from the Thunder Legion, Du Qijun suggested that he should evacuate immediately, and now that the smoke was rising, the Thunder Legion was divided by several large armies of the Japanese Invaders at the border, and the northern theater had fallen.

But Ling Xia rejected this suggestion, his reason is very simple, at this time, the enemy's strength is already in place, there are two corps blocking the way, even if the Thunder Legion resists again, it is by no means the opponent of the enemy's two corps, if he rushes through the defense line at the moment, it happens to fall into the pocket of the enemy, and then not only can he not rush through the enemy's blocking line, but will also put the entire legion in.

After Ling Xia finished analyzing the pros and cons, everyone was silent, and Du Qijun said anxiously: "It's not okay to rush hard, there is a fallen area behind, and the enemy's 10th Corps will come over soon, we are trapped in this Mangniu Mountain, what should we do?" You can't sit still, can you? ”

"Mangniu Mountain?" Ling Xia looked at the mountain peak behind him, pondered for a moment, and then he ordered, "Clean up the ground immediately, send someone to transport the corpses on the mountain road, let's go to the mountain to hide, if we encounter the enemy army on the mountain to investigate, let's pretend to be bandits from Mangniu Mountain." ”

"What? Hide? Pretending to be a bandit? If this spreads, won't people laugh out of their big teeth? Du Qijun was stunned, and then frowned; Since its establishment, the Thunder Legion has always been brave and unyielding. There has never been an example of pretending to be a bandit to hide from the enemy. ”

"There was no example in the past because I didn't become the commander of this legion, don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future." Ling Xia said with a smug face.

After hearing this, everyone present was speechless, although everyone was reluctant in their hearts, they didn't want to hide as cowards. But Ling Xia spoke, and everyone had to act according to his plan.
