Chapter 122: The Bloodstained Wall
Yuyang Town, as the main target of the third and fourth legions of the demon race, the two sides have been fighting each other in this important military town for a long time, how can there be no casualties?
In fact, when the war had just begun, the two sides fought the most fiercely.
In those few days, almost a river of blood was shed, countless divisions and regiments and teams were scattered, and the most tragic thing even happened that the entire regiment was wiped out.
This military town seems to have turned into a meat grinder, and the towering walls are sharp blades, and the officers and soldiers on both sides are constantly fighting, and countless lives are finally sent to death.
In the end, the third and fourth legions of the demon clan had to temporarily withdraw from the battle due to too many casualties.
A standing army of demons is about 150,000 people, and the third and fourth legions add up to 300,000 people, but in just a few days, more than 100,000 soldiers have been killed in battle!
This has shaken the foundations of the two armies, and in order to preserve their strength, they have to temporarily retreat and repair.
And the Second Army of the Expeditionary Force, which was stationed in Yuyang Town as the defender, was not much better.
Of the 90,000 soldiers, nearly half were killed!
Today, there are only 50,000 people left, and there are many disabled patients, and only about 40,000 people can really take up arms.
When Zhang Yu led the team to the north city wall to report, he couldn't help but be attracted by the battle traces on the city wall, and at the same time couldn't help but be shocked in his heart!
"How many people have died to make such a picture!"
Zhang Yu and his soldiers dismounted at the same time, and took off their helmets in silent silence.
The northern city wall, as the main attack position of the demons, its original tall city wall has been dilapidated.
The five-meter-thick, granite-made main body of the city wall has several large holes, and some of the cracks have even spread from the head of the city to the corners of the city.
Although it was night, the faint afterglow of the torches could be seen that the walls were covered with sticky oil stains, which were left after the hot oil had dried up, mixed with blood, and the entire wall was covered.
"Oh my God, I don't know how many people died to dye the entire wall like this."
The brothers got serious.
Rao is the strongest person who has all seen blood, and he came out of the cruel gladiatorial arena, and he can't help but feel his heart beating faster at this moment, as if the drums of war have been beaten.
"Lord Zhang Yu."
With a soft call, a young officer came to the place under the guard of several guards.
Zhang Yu glanced at his military rank - Major General!
"So young?"
Zhang Yu was slightly surprised, the young man in front of him was estimated to be a few years older than himself, this was the youngest national general he had ever seen.
"Hello Lord Zhang Yu, I am the person in charge of the northern city wall, Yu Huan, I salute you." The young man raised his hand in salute and said so.
"Lord Yu Huan, according to reason, it should be me who salutes you!"
Zhang Yu stood upright, returned the salute, and then said loudly, "Zhang Yu led the first team of the Great Xia United Army to reinforce and came to report at the north city wall!" ”
"Welcome, Lord Zhang Yu."
"That's as it should be, General Yu!"
The two clasped their hands, and from today until the end of the war, they will become each other's comrades-in-arms, each other's backing.
"General Yu, don't say much politely, can you tell me about the battle situation on this side of the north city wall first?"
Zhang Yu is most worried about intelligence information, although he is a reinforcement, he is also going to fight, don't be black-eyed when the time comes, what is the difference between stretching his neck and letting people cut it?
Yu Huan nodded and said, "This is okay, but I think it's better to arrange the soldiers first, and then let's have an officer meeting." ”
"Yes!"
The efficiency of the army is very fast, and the expeditionary force that fights all year round is far more neat than the old soldiers of the border guards at Jianmen Pass, and in less than half an hour, all the 3,000 people under Zhang Yu have been settled.
Subsequently, Zhang Yu and his brothers rushed to the agreed meeting location.
The meeting was located at the head of the city, a simple tent, a table, a kerosene lamp, and that's all there was to it.
"I'm sorry, but Kuroshio has cut off all communication cables and life circuits, so we haven't been able to keep in touch with Kyoto, and we don't even have electricity for daily life, so please bear with me."
When Zhang Yu walked into the tent, Yu Huan's slightly apologetic voice came.
Zhang Yuleng paused, and then explained: "These are not problems, how can there be so many comfortable conditions in a war!" ”
Zhang Yu looked around the conference tent, and there were not many people who came, only six people.
He knew that the senior officers of the expeditionary force were different from those in the Inner Territory of Great Xia, and they all had the strength to serve as commanders, so although there were only six people attending the meeting, without exception, all of them were strong grandmasters!
"The ...... of the Six Great Masters"
Zhang Yu gasped.
The northern city wall alone has six grandmasters, and what about the other three city walls?
Forty-six twenty-four, this means that perhaps there are at least twenty-four grandmasters in Yuyang Town alone!
That's not counting Deputy Commander Wang Jinzhi, he is an eight-grade!
"Brother Zhang Yu, your support is too timely."
A rough-looking officer said in a rough voice, his voice as ugly as a broken gong, and his speech seemed to be leaking.
"Our northern city wall has always been the main attack direction of the demon race, and there have been too many casualties in so many days, if there are no reinforcements, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to hold out for even a week."
Before he could finish speaking, the guy raised his right hand.
It was a bare arm, the palm of which was gone, and it had been cut off by force, but the wound was only tied with the simplest gauze.
Not only that, but there are many terrifying tooth marks and paw prints on his body, and it is hard to imagine what kind of brutal battle he has experienced.
"What is the contrast between the strength of the enemy and the enemy?"
Zhang Yu asked.
Only by understanding the gap can we know whether the arrival of these people can solve the defensive problem of the northern city wall.
Yu Huan continued: "The gap is very big! ”
"The strength of the demons on the north city wall is 70,000, but our defenders on the north city wall are only 12,000 people, and there are many disabled soldiers, even if 3,000 reinforcements come, there are only 15,000 people, and the proportion is too great......
"Alas!"
The officers of the expeditionary force sighed at the same time.
It's been too difficult for them these days, and although they are sending messengers to Kyoto every day to ask for help, under the siege of the demons, it would be good to have two out of ten people.
Even if you get to Kyoto, it's a problem to come back.
Five days ago, a messenger was lucky enough to return to Yuyang Town, but with bad news: the border guards were wiped out!
