356 Native Legion
After all, Zhang San was not able to buy enough time for the friendly troops in the rear, and he himself died under the heavy hammer of others, and the soldiers under his command were completely defeated before they could hold out for ten minutes.
It's not that they're too weak, it's that their opponents are too strong.
Three top generals, five hundred legendary level troops [Yellow Turban Divine Soldiers] whose basic strength has reached about 60, and more than a thousand [Outstanding Pirates] are simply powerless to resist.
And Zhang San's defeat was very fatal at this time, because they were not able to buy enough time for the friendly forces in the rear, so it directly led to the interception of the friendly forces in the rear did not be painful and prepared for a while, but killed one after another.
If enough time can be gained, even if Liu Cheng's main force has not completely returned at this time.
In the case of gathering tens of thousands of legions, it is not said that it can defeat this enemy army, but at least it can resist for a while.
And this kind of situation where an army of troops came running over to send it was almost equivalent to jumping in line into a fire pit, and in this case, no matter how many people came, it was not enough to die.
Soon, a few more victims appeared under Liu Cheng's command, and thousands of soldiers were scattered.
Fortunately, Qin Yangwu, who is now presiding over the defense of Zhongtun Island, is not an ordinary role, and he still has a good level of military command with a strict martial spirit.
Realizing the strength of the invading enemy and the command of the target, Qin Yangwu immediately gave up his previous tactics of blocking the attack, and instead gathered all his troops to the base camp of Liu Chengzhongtun Island to wait for him.
This is the only way that Qin Yangwu can resist his opponent at present, but once this tactic is adopted, it will inevitably bring a problem.
After all, they were preparing to encircle and suppress the enemy on the way to kill them, and the orders had already been issued, and a temporary change of tactics at this time would definitely put some troops in an embarrassing situation, and even directly kill some friendly troops.
If he could, Qin Yangwu was really unwilling to do this choice.
But with the current situation, it is not up to Qin Yangwu to do it at all, in order to ensure the safety of the base camp, there is no need to ensure that the enemy can be stopped, Qin Yangwu can only do this.
Gritting his teeth, Qin Yangwu issued an order to temporarily change his tactics and concentrate all his troops in the base camp.
This had no effect on the army near the base camp, it only changed the target of the rush, but for other armies, such as the one that was intercepting the enemy at this moment.
At this time, the army intercepting the enemy army was a relatively special army, and the number of this army was about 2,000 people, which was the largest number of intercepted enemy troops.
However, their particularity is not manifested in numbers, their real particularity lies in the soldiers of this army, which is a rather rare army under Liu Cheng's command composed entirely of indigenous pirates.
You must know that since Liu Cheng's [barracks] began to be a violent army, Liu Cheng's focus has basically been on the system army.
At that time, there was hardly any army of indigenous pirates under Liu Cheng's command.
After all, compared to the Native Legion, which will be demoralized at every turn, and will begin to collapse if its personnel is reduced by a third or even just a quarter, and the loyalty cannot be fully guaranteed, the Legion of the System can be said to be crushing in all aspects.
He is loyal, he can fight, he can be upgraded, and the recruitment price is not very expensive, Liu Cheng has no reason to give up, and what kind of indigenous legion.
But sometimes, there are some things that Liu Cheng himself can't do if he doesn't say it.
Now there are more than 100,000 indigenous pirates under Liu Cheng's command, and among these hundreds of thousands of people, there are certainly those who are forced to become pirates because of their livelihood, and their personalities are relatively peaceful, and they are content with the status quo after Liu Cheng's subjugation.
But there are also many pirates who aspire to build a country and get ahead.
For them, joining the army is the only way for them to climb up, and if Liu Cheng closes this channel, those pirates will naturally be dissatisfied.
Because of this incident, many pirates chose to leave, and many people did a lot of things for Liu Cheng.
In addition, Yan Nu, who was the first to follow Liu Cheng, was embarrassed to come over and ask Liu Cheng to do work, so Liu Cheng also pushed the boat to build this army composed of natives.
At present, the total strength of this army is about 2,100 people, led by Yan Nu, whose strength has grown to 70, and under his command there are two stunned people whose strength has soared to 80, and a group of pirates whose strength has also reached sixty or seventy.
If the number of light wheel generals and the strength of the soldiers, the current indigenous army selected from hundreds of thousands of pirates can be said to be the top one under Liu Cheng's command.
It's a pity that because of their identity, they haven't been reused by Liu Cheng much, and they haven't fought any battles for more than a month since they were established, and this battle is the first battle they have encountered since their establishment.
It is precisely because of the extremely rare opportunity that this army has shown strong morale despite the incomparably strong enemy it faces.
Now, from the commander Yan Nu to every soldier, they are holding back their strength, and they want to prove themselves in this battle, so that Liu Cheng can look down on them.
Because of this momentum, they almost risked their lives to fight this battle.
This kind of fatal fighting brought a certain amount of trouble to the enemy army, so that the enemy's advance stopped for the first time after entering Zhongtun Island.
Seeing that he had stopped the enemy's advance, this army was overjoyed.
According to their original plan, they only needed to stop the enemy for about ten minutes, and then reinforcements arrived.
At the moment, they can definitely stop the enemy army easily, and the first merit of this battle is definitely theirs, and Liu Cheng will also look down on them at that time.
However, their excitement did not last long, and after they stopped the enemy for more than ten minutes at the cost of hundreds of lives, what they got was not follow-up reinforcements, but a notice of the change of tactics on Qin Yangwu's side.
At this moment, they had a very good feeling that they had been betrayed and abandoned, and the morale of this army almost collapsed for a while.
Fortunately, at this time, as the commander of this army, Yan Nu still has some responsibility.
When he realized that the situation was not good, he immediately made a decision to divide his troops into two teams, and he himself took the elite of Blackreef Island and some of the pirates to stay behind and let the other part of his soldiers retreat.
Yan Nu's decision stabilized his morale very well, but at the same time, he also put himself in danger of almost dying because of this decision......
