The 223rd Crisis of the Eighth
As the night darkened, hundreds of Freedom Battalion soldiers mounted their mounts and walked through the fort, heading out of the fort with the sound of rumbling hooves.
More than 200 free battalions came from different battle forts and different military branches, and the mounts were also varied, black, white, tiger-shaped, and leopard-shaped...... Running together with a bang, but the momentum did not weaken in the slightest.
"Where's your mount, little one?" asked a warrior with a long-handled hammer on his back, tilting his head slightly and curiously.
Almost all the soldiers of the Freedom Battalion rode on demon beasts, but on the outermost edge of the left, there was a young man in white armor, who was running on foot and following alongside, not slow at all, but it was extremely conspicuous.
"There's something special about my mount!" Wang Haochen smiled.
"You don't have a mount, what are you going to do with it!" The warrior obviously didn't believe it, their mounts were all kept in the battle fort, once they went to battle, they rode and left, and now they are out of the war fort, where can they go to get mounts?
Wang Haochen didn't argue, those mounts were not very fast, even if he ran on foot, he could easily keep up, but he didn't plan to follow these people all the time to carry out tasks.
His eyes swept forward, and when he saw the dense forest in front of him, his mind moved slightly, and he summoned Bai Yu out of the dense forest from a distance of more than ten zhang.
When the free battalion rode through the dense forest, Bai Yu flew out through the forest under the command of Wang Haochen.
"What's that?"
The soldiers of the Freedom Battalion suddenly saw the huge white feathers, which immediately caused a commotion.
At this moment, Wang Haochen flew up, landed on Bai Yu's back, and shouted loudly: "Don't panic, everyone, it's my mount!"
"Flying mounts?" the expressions of the Freedom Battalion fighters changed slightly.
"This kid used to be an air scout in the scout camp?" Many people raised their heads slightly, looking at the white feathers flying in the air, and their eyes were full of envy.
A good flying mount, a master with countless weapons in the air, is a dream, let alone these ordinary soldiers in the freedom battalion.
"Does he really have a mount, and is he really a little special?" the warrior with the hammer in his hand was slightly distracted.
Luo Feng, the captain of the Seventh Brigade of the Freedom Battalion, was driving a rather large pictographic demon beast, and at the forefront of the run, he saw Wang Haochen flying into the air, and he was slightly overjoyed.
"Brother in the air, since you are from the scout camp, it is very good, the task of vigilance is entrusted to you, pay attention to the surrounding turmoil, and don't let us fall into an ambush. The Luo Feng Demon Beast ran wildly on its back, raising its head and shouting loudly into the air.
Wang Haochen nodded slightly, and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me, I'll go ahead to explore the way." ”
Scout camp?
Isn't that where that guy from Shen Fan went, I don't have that treatment yet.
Wang Haochen smiled secretly in his heart, although they were at Sunset Pass, but with Huan Lingtong and Shen Fan, they hadn't seen each other for months, and even Wang Chu hadn't seen them, and they didn't know what their situation was now.
Wang Haochen flew in the air, walking in the forefront, always keeping a distance of 100 zhang from the Freedom Battalion Brigade, probing the surrounding turmoil.
With Wang Haochen's heavy protection, the soldiers of the Freedom Battalion suddenly had no scruples and began to rush with all their might, and the speed increased a lot.
Although Wang Haochen was exploring the way ahead, he didn't need to pay attention to the situation around him all the time, and the map of the Heavenly Punishment System was swept away, and everything was in front of him.
His consciousness swept slightly, and he fell on the task given by the Heavenly Punishment System in this battle.
"Winning the battle: Kill ten enemy soldiers and return to Sunset Pass alive. Reward: 5,000 points worth of martial arts. ”
This kind of small-scale battle is just right for me!
Wang Haochen was slightly happy in his heart, as long as he killed more than ten enemies, he would be considered a winner if he returned to Sunset Pass alive, which was not difficult for him at all.
More than 80 miles away, it took less than an hour for the Freedom Battalion to reach the village that had been attacked. But to everyone's frown, the whole village had turned into a sea of fire, and there was not a single living thing in sight, only a dead village, where it burned quietly, and occasionally there was the sound of flames exploding.
The soldiers of the Freedom Battalion gathered around Luo Feng, waiting for Luo Feng's order. Although these people in the freedom battalion are scattered on weekdays, they are still fighters after all, and basic orders and prohibitions can still be done.
"Find out the direction of the retreat of King Yi's army and prepare to pursue. Luo Feng groaned slightly, and then ordered.
The task given to them by the battle fortress is to rescue the village in front of them, and strangle all the soldiers of the Yiwang army, although this village has suffered, there is no one alive, but they can't go back like this, it is difficult to deal with it, if the soldiers of the Yiwang army are allowed to slaughter civilians in the pass, continue to be troubled, as soldiers, their duty is to protect the territory and the people, then they will be ashamed of this identity.
"Brother in the air, have you ever found the enemy's movements?" Luo Feng thought of Wang Haochen and couldn't help shouting.
Wang Haochen's consciousness swept carefully in the map of the Heavenly Punishment System, and then he said loudly: "Southeast!"
"Send someone to investigate!" Luo Feng commanded the people around him, and then raised his head to Wang Haochen and asked, "Have you ever found the enemy army?"
Wang Haochen shook his head and said, "The enemy army has fled at least seven or eight miles away. ”
The map of the Heavenly Punishment System has been upgraded by Wang Haochen once, and the maximum range that can be explored has reached seven or eight miles away, but now, in the map of the Heavenly Punishment System, there is no trace of Yi Wangjun, and they must have run out of this range.
The night was dark, which greatly affected the reconnaissance operation of the freedom battalion, but fortunately, Wang Haochen pointed out the general direction, and everyone still chased all the way.
Just when Wang Haochen and the others were chasing King Yi's army, outside the fortress shrouded in night, the rumbling hooves suddenly sounded, and they ordered to open the gate of the fortress and go straight to the incomparable city wall of the setting sun.
The guard of the fort city complained, and just walked back to his original position, outside the fort city, there was a rumbling number of horses rushing back, and the sound of hooves was rapid.
"Open the door, the scout battalion has an urgent military briefing. ”
Then, in just two hours, more than a dozen groups of scout camp scouts rushed back to the fort.
"Forty miles north of the Blackwater Mountain Range, a brigade of the Yiwang Army was found. ”
"Urgent report, sixty miles north of the Blackwater Mountain Range, the enemy brigade has been discovered. ”
"Lijia Village in Guannei was attacked by enemy troops!"
"Urgent military situation, Taihe City in Kannai is attacked by enemy troops!"
......
One news after another flew into the Sunset Pass, one more critical than the other, in the military affairs hall, Mo Xing, Shang Qingling, Huan Lingtong...... All the high-ranking generals of Sunset Pass gathered, the atmosphere was calm, and their faces were full of worry.
This night, the Sunset Pass was blown like a storm by the emergency military information that kept flying, even if there was a solid Sunset Pass, it couldn't make him feel a little more at ease.
"Now it is basically clear that at least tens of thousands of King Yi's army have crossed the Tianshui Mountain Range and entered the Guannei. Mo Xing sat in the commander's position, his face was calm, and his eyes swept over the faces of the generals in the hall.
"This is no longer an ordinary squad invasion, but a large group of people has been dispatched, and we must deal with it carefully, what do you think?" Commander Mo Xing asked.
"Dispatch a large army to sweep all the passes, with tens of thousands of people, it is not enough to be afraid. A general said directly.
Huan Lingtong stood in the back position, and when he heard the general's suggestion, he couldn't help but shake his head, took a step, and said: "Since the enemy army dares to sneak into the pass in a big way, it will not be impossible to imagine that we will send a large army to encircle and suppress, it will definitely not be so simple, they definitely have a way to deal with it, if we rush to send troops, I am afraid that we will fall into the trap they have laid instead." ”
"Then what should we do, are we just sitting here, letting those bastards of King Yi's army burn, kill, loot and do anything wrong in the pass?" someone suddenly retorted.
"Save, it must be saved, but we can't send troops in such a hurry, we have to find out the enemy's intentions before we can come up with a countermeasure and annihilate them all with one blow. Huan Lingtong looked at Mo Xing and spoke.
"When will it take, now that the enemy army has infiltrated the pass, the civilians in the pass will face the attack of the enemy army at any time, and by the time we send out our troops, by that time, how many have died in vain. A general stood up and said angrily.
Huan Lingtong couldn't help but shake his head, no longer arguing, and quietly waiting for Mo Xing's decision.
The so-called Ci is not in charge of the army, the general does have the people of Li in mind, but once they are dispatched, the biggest possibility is to fall into the ambush of the enemy army, which will not only not save the people in the pass, but will cause heavy losses in the sunset pass. In this way, the Sunset Pass has insufficient troops, and it is likely that it will be led away by the nose of King Yi's army.
Mo Xing frowned and thought about it, he was also in a dilemma.
If he does not move for the time being, it is of course the best policy, but once it spreads out afterwards, as a commander, he will have to be hated by the people at the border and leave an infamy. However, if the troops are dispatched at this time, if they fall into an ambush of the enemy, not to mention the loss of troops, they may also endanger the Sunset Pass.
"A hundred miles before the Beikou Pass, it was found that tens of thousands of enemy troops had gathered and had moved towards the Beikou Pass. "Another military order has been sent into the main hall.
"Beikou Pass!" All the generals in the hall changed color instantly.
Beikou Pass is the second pass in the northwest of Wuzhou, although it is not as strong as Sunset Pass, but it is also dangerous, before Sunset Pass is built, Beikou Pass is the real gateway of Wuzhou.
Once the North Pass is occupied by the enemy, it will cut off all supply and support to Sunset Pass, and will make Sunset Pass an isolated island.
As long as the Yiwang army quietly waits for the sunset pass to run out of resources, it will not attack itself.
"Jiang Tian, the guard general of the Beikou Pass, is a veteran who is good at guarding the pass, there are more than 50,000 soldiers guarding the pass, how can tens of thousands of people be able to capture it, at least 150,000 troops are needed to have the possibility of a battle, what does the enemy mean by this move?" Mo Xing couldn't help but ponder.
