After sending out the scouts, Maruyama arranged for his men to treat the wounded, carry the rolling stones, and count the damage.

Nearly two hours later, the logistics officer reported: "General, the roadblocks have been cleared, the wounded have been treated, and a total of 2,217 soldiers have died." ”

Looking at the tragic scene, the loss of more than 2,000 people is really nothing to hundreds of thousands of troops. So when he heard the loss data, Maruyama's face looked a lot better.

"Any news from the scouts?" Maruyama asked.

"Nope!" The lieutenant general beside Maruyama replied.

"None of them came back?" Maruyama asked.

The adjutant replied: "No! ”

When leaving, Maruyama specially explained to them that they wanted to send back information every half an hour, but the three hundred elites had been out for almost two hours, and they had waited and waited, and they had not received a single message so far, is this normal?

Did they all sacrifice their lives for the country?

"Order the troops to be on guard and rest on the spot! Then you personally report what happened to General Miyazaki and ask for his instructions! Faced with such a strange situation, Maruyama did not dare to make his own decisions, and asked the deputy general to report to the chief general of the Chinese army behind.

"No!" The lieutenant bowed down and took the order!

…

The big tent of the Chinese army in Guangye County.

After listening to the report of the vanguard deputy general, Miyazaki Hirotake, who was sitting on the main seat, was silent, and the other generals also looked solemn.

After a while, General Ren Danhu, one of Miyazaki Hirotake's commands, analyzed: "General, Nanguan Road in Guangye County is already rugged and difficult, and now it has been occupied by the Chinese first!"

"As long as they deploy tens of thousands of elites here, destroy roads, dig more traps, and snipe fire, these more than 300 miles are likely to stop us for more than a month!

"At that time, even if we arrive, we will be helpless in the face of Jiancheng and a steady stream of reinforcements from Huaxia!"

Hiroshi Miyazaki squinted at him and asked, "You mean, we just gave up?" ”

Hearing that Miyazaki Hirotake's tone was not good, General Rindanhu quickly got up and bowed, "No, General, I mean, to report this matter to the base camp and let them focus on the attack in the west!" ”

Miyazaki Hirotake's face became more and more dissatisfied, he got up and directly slapped him twice, and said sharply: "Do you think that you are the only smart person in the entire Great Wa Kingdom?" There are dozens of high-ranking officials in the cabinet and thousands of military generals, and they can't expect such a situation?

"What do you want me to report to the base camp? Tell them that we are in trouble, and that we are in trouble, and that we should hurry up and get our comrades in the west to work hard, and don't hope for us!

"And then, then we have hundreds of thousands of elites, camped and slept on the spot, didn't we?"

After that, I rewarded Ren Danhu with two slaps again.

"Hey!" Ren Danhu is also very helpless. It's a pity that the official is one level younger, so he can only endure it!

Miyazaki Hiroshi sat back in the main seat, no longer asked for the opinions of others, and directly ordered the deputy general of the pioneer battalion: "The duty of the pioneer is to open roads in the mountains, build bridges in the water, and kill ambushes in ambushes!"

"Go back and tell Maruyama-kun to clear the obstacles and move forward as quickly as possible!

"Before more than half of the 100,000 elites of the Pioneer Battalion are shattered, there is no need to report the casualty data to me! If more than half of the sacrifice is made, and it is not possible to advance a hundred miles, let him come here, I will personally see him apologize in front of me, and then I will send someone else to replace him! ”

…

By the time Huang Zhong retreated to the second defensive position, it was already dusk, and Ye Teng had already led people to cook dinner here and wait for him leisurely.

Seeing Huang Zhong coming over, Ye Teng handed over a leg of mutton and said with a smile: "Let's eat some first, the other brothers will have someone to entertain." Coming back slower than I expected? ”

Huang Zhong was already accustomed to Ye Teng's casual behavior, and took the leg of mutton with his hand: "While clearing the road, the Japanese Kou also sent us hundreds of scouts. I can't help it, I can only make a little more effort and clean up those scouts by the way! ”

"Oh, what about the casualties?"

"Our army will not lose a single person! As for the Japanese Kou, I don't know, but it is estimated that there are one or two thousand. ”

Ye Teng took a bite of the barbecue with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "This time the widow should be suspicious, I guess we can have a good night's sleep tonight." ”

"It tastes so good!" Huang Zhong took a bite of the roast leg of lamb and said with a smile: "We can have a good night's sleep, but it is difficult for the Japanese to be robbed, I have arranged for hundreds of Beiwei troops to harass the enemy camp all night tonight!" ”

"Okay, that's it! The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase! On this long official road, we will use these sixteen words to deal with the Japanese Invaders! Ye Tenglang laughed.

"Yes!" Huang Zhong also smiled.

…

A night of harassment!

The Zhenbei army was full of crossbow arrows for a while, gongs and drums for a while, and shouting for a while, although they did not kill a few Japanese robbers, but they did not rest well, and they were inevitably physically and mentally exhausted, upset, and demoralized.

There were already three groups of scouts and nearly a thousand people who had not returned, and although Maruyama did not know that Huang Zhong had sent a backing army to deal with his scouts, he also expected that there would be many bad luck.

Miyazaki Hiroshi must not obey his strict orders, otherwise he can only commit suicide by seppuku. Although as a player, seppuku is only hung once, but if the reputation of "Maruyama of seppuku" spreads, how will it be mixed up in the future? He Maruyama can be the commander of the pioneer battalion of the coalition army, and he is also a man with a head and a face!

In desperation, Maruyama had to order the vanguard battalion, not even send scouts, and directly advance as a whole, a big deal to pay some sacrifices, see if the enemy can endure me?

What can I do?

Reality gave General Maruyama a resounding slap in the face!

The Zhenbei army used his second ambush to tell General Maruyama that he could only think of it, and he couldn't do it!

After trembling and advancing for several miles in the official road, I turned a corner on the rugged official road, and suddenly saw the situation ahead, and couldn't help but gasp, how to get this?

This section of the official road seems to cross the steep slope, with a steep slope on the inside and a cliff on the outside.

At this time, a section of the road ahead has been dug up by the Zhenbei Army for more than ten meters, and the excavated soil and rocks have been rolled down the slope. At the other end of the broken road, a defensive fortress more than five meters high has been erected by the Zhenbei Army.

At this time, the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army were squatting on the fortress, condescending, stretching their bows and arrows, and waiting for the battle.

As if telling the Japanese army, if you have the ability, you fly over!

Flying over, the Japanese army really didn't have that ability.

So, Maruyama's order was: "Take a detour, go uphill, and kill GIGI!" ”

Unexpectedly, the Japanese invaders encountered rolling stones, crossbow arrows, and sassal wood from the top of their heads, allowing them to personally appreciate the true meaning of the words "arrows raining down and rolling stones like hailstones".

Maruyama is also considered to have been in battle for a long time, but every time he sees so many elites, together with rolling stones and sassalos, rolling down the steep hill with blood spatter, he can't help but turn blue and the corners of his mouth twitch!

The Japanese attacked for more than half a day, and once again paid the price of two or three thousand elites, and when they finally reached the top of the slope, the Zhenbei army withdrew without accident.

Even the fortifications built in the middle of the road were abandoned.

"Don't chase it, hurry up and cut down the tree, take the dug road, and move on!" Maruyama stopped the soldiers who wanted to pursue at the top of the slope, and had no choice but to let his men clean up the battlefield and build roads and bridges.

He knew that if he chased him out again, it was likely that he would be beaten by meat buns again, and he would never return it.

On such a complicated mountain road, chasing a well-prepared enemy, Maruyama can only consider himself unlucky!

He seemed to see that the hat of "Maruyama of seppuku" was getting closer and closer to the top of his head!
