Chapter 5 The Wind Rises in the West
The sea is dry and icy, and the gloomy clouds are bleak and condensed.
On this day of freezing and snowfall, an army that stretched for four or five miles marched with difficulty on the snow-covered mountain road.
The soldiers walked on the snowy mountain road one foot deep and one foot shallow, and from time to time some soldiers fell. Some people struggled to get up after falling, some people didn't get up for a long time, and their passing comrades bent down to help, but found that they had no breath.
The soldier's uniform was tattered and dirty, stained with blood and mud, and large pieces of cotton were exposed where they bloomed, and the soldier's hands and face were covered with frostbite, and there was no look in his eyes, which was clearly a remnant army!
The Phoenix army has fought so many battles, and it has never been defeated so badly! was chased and killed all the way, and there was no power to fight back.
The number of enemies is several times that of your own, and the weapons and equipment are almost an era ahead of your own, and even the proportion of evolutionaries in the army is higher than that of the Phoenix army.
The soldiers of Doomsday Phoenix are not afraid of death, they used to be the first regiment, the first brigade, and the first division of Phoenix with the highest honor, they were invincible, but now for the first time, they have a deep sense of powerlessness!
The enemy seemed tireless, and the well-trained Phoenix Field Army could not shake off the other side after a non-stop march day and night; The combat power of the enemy's strong man made people feel terrifying, the invincible Phoenix City Special Operations Brigade was completely annihilated, and the goddess in their hearts, Qin Yurou, was also seriously injured and fell in order to cover the retreat of the army!
The 1st Division of Phoenix City was defeated all the way, and only more than 3,000 people remained in the 10,000-strong army, and it is still decreasing. They could only rely on teams of evolutionaries and soldiers to drag the enemy with their lives, and all the wounded soldiers took the initiative to stay.
All the evolutionaries and soldiers are ready to die in battle, and the only thing that supports them is because there is still hope!
Hope from Phoenix!
......
Twenty miles behind the 1st Division in Phoenix, an incomparably large army stopped in place.
The faces of the soldiers were mostly European, and the silver leather coats made the soldiers brave the cold, and they were neat and well-equipped, but they were all in low spirits.
A modified beast-like Mercedes Unimog SUV roared from behind, the SUV bumped and undulated on the mountain road.
With a foot on the brakes, the huge wheels splashed countless muddy water, and a tall man with blond hair and a blond beard jumped out of the car.
The person who came was none other than the commander of the Light Army, the younger brother of the patriarch of the Onassis family. Onassis.
"Why don't you continue the pursuit, who ordered you to stop?" Aiden yelled at the soldiers who had begun to camp on the side of the road.
A young officer with the rank of major hurriedly ran over, "General Aiden, the soldiers really can't walk anymore, and even the evolutionaries are almost at their limit. ”
"What a bunch of waste, the other party still has the strength to escape, but you don't have the strength to chase! Isn't there still stimulants? Keep chasing for me! ”
The major immediately showed a very embarrassed expression, "General, another injection is already the second stimulant, and continuous injection will cause permanent damage to the soldiers' bodies." ”
"I order, pursue immediately!" Aiden had a cold face and did not listen to the young officer's explanation at all.
The military order was like a mountain, and the young officer gritted his teeth, and in the end he didn't dare to refute again, and turned around to carry out the order.
"Wait, I ordered them to stop."
Aiden turned his head, and a man in silver armor and white gloves was slowly walking out of the woods next to him, with thin cheeks, a high nose, and dark blue eyes with a hint of worry.
Behind the man, two evolutionaries in armor came out of the woods. One was carrying two pheasants, and the other was carrying a huge mutant stag with blood dripping from its neck.
Aiden immediately became furious, "Heinrich, you bastard, you still have the leisure to hunt?" ”
Heinrich shrugged his shoulders with a nonchalant expression, "As the deputy head of the Knights of the Holy Sword, there is no need to report to anyone else except for the Speaker and the Templar King. ”
"But don't forget, the council has authorized me to be the commander of this force, and all the Knights of the Holy Sword and the Illuminati soldiers, including you Heinrich, must obey my orders!"
Heinrich suddenly sneered, "We naturally obey the orders of the commanders, but not the orders for the soldiers to commit suicide." After taking a second stimulant in a row, most of the fighters will die of organ failure within six months. These warriors belong to the Council of Light and not to you, the Onassis family, and you have no authority to order them to die! ”
Aiden glared angrily at Heinrich, "The Phoenix army is still fleeing, but you have taken the initiative to stop the pursuit, you are delaying the warplane, I will report to the council truthfully, and you will take full responsibility for this!" ”
"Holy Sword Knights and soldiers are all rubbish, you can continue to chase with the private army of the family who is not a waste, anyway, there is just a remnant army in front." Heinrich looked indifferent, but instead provoked Aiden.
Aiden snorted coldly, "Just let you wastes see what the real elite is!" Warriors of the House Onassis, follow me on the pursuit! ”
With Aiden's loud shout, more than two hundred evolutionaries rushed out of the entire Light Army, and continued to move forward after Aiden.
"How could such a smart woman as Alicia use such a stupid person as Aiden, it seems that the Onassis family is really no one." Looking at the distant team ahead, Heinrich sighed softly.
"Deputy Chief, if we really don't care, I'm afraid it won't be good to go back and explain to the council, right?" Heinrich, the armored knight with two pheasants in his hands, said with some concern.
"Don't worry, Aiden will definitely come back with a nose, he has no face to go to the council to complain."
"The Onassis family's evolutionaries are very capable of fighting, and there aren't many people left in the army in front of them?"
Heinrich suddenly turned his head and stared at the armored knight behind him, "Rayleigh, do you really think that Hermann and Lancelot's death in battle in China was just an accident?" ”
"Isn't it?"
Heinrich struck Rayleigh on the head with a lightning strike, "Stupid, that's just an excuse made up by the council and the knights to cover up their defeat. I think you should also be aware of what a terrible opponent we are facing this time. Mars and the three of them worked together to besiege the woman, but two were killed and one was seriously injured, and the woman escaped with injuries. Also, how much has it cost us to not wipe out the army in front of us? Have you ever met a unit that our fighters have not been able to catch up with after doping? ”
"Deputy Commander, what about us?"
Heinrich glanced into the distance again, and Aiden and the others were already gone, "Camp, eat, the war is still going on!" ”
......
Fierce fighting and dense gunfire rang out in the rear of the Phoenix army.
The sounds of the battle lasted only five minutes before they came to an abrupt end.
Yang Hongquan's cheeks were sunken, his eyes were red and swollen, and his lips were chapped, as if he was ten years old. An old man in his sixties, who has experienced such a big blow, if it were not for the last trace of faith to support, I am afraid that he would have fallen long ago.
In such a cold weather, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Yang Hongquan's forehead.
This was already the third sniper team sent in a row, and one company of teams only held out for five minutes. Although there was no military intelligence back, Yang Hongquan had already guessed that this time it was a team of evolutionaries who were chasing after him.
"You can no longer send ordinary soldiers to take turns to send them to death." Yang Hongquan looked at the east for a while, and made up his final decision.
"Escort, follow me!" Yang Hongquan led a team of evolutionaries and rushed to the rear of the troops.
"Elder Yang, let's go!" A person suddenly rushed out from the rear of the army and grabbed Yang Hongquan.
The man's face was wrapped in a thick bandage, revealing only two eyes, and his red-fiery phoenix battle armor was covered with countless scars. He was followed by eight or nine warriors, all wounded.
Yang Hongquan was stunned, and his eyes immediately moistened when he looked at this person, "Ocean, even if we people are dead, we can't let you go anymore, you are the last seed of the special operations team." ”
Wu Haiyang tightly pulled Yang Hongquan's arm and didn't let go, "The moment Captain Qin dies in battle, there will be no special operations team, you can let us die on the battlefield like Captain Qin!" For us, this is the best destination, otherwise even if we survive, we will not be safe for life! ”
"Watching you die, will I be at peace? The ocean takes your people away! ”
"Nope! Elder Yang, you take the troops away! ”
Just when Yang Hongquan and Wu Haiyang were arguing, more than two hundred figures rushed over from behind, three of them rushed to the front, and in a blink of an eye, they were already close to the front.
Three second-order powerhouses!
Yang Hongquan and Wu Haiyang looked at each other and smiled bitterly, "No one can leave, let's go down together today to accompany Yurou's girl!" ”
Yang Hongquan, Wu Haiyang and the others pounced on the three second-order powerhouses of the Onassis family with the thought of death.
Looking at Yang Hongquan and the others who rushed up instead of running, a sneer appeared at the corner of Aiden's mouth, "A group of little ants are going to crush you all to death today!" ”
Aiden jumped up as he ran, and a huge battle axe in his hand flashed with cold light, and slashed at Wu Haiyang, who was running in front.
Wu Haiyang was already at the peak of the first order, but when this incomparably sharp axe came to his head, he realized that the gap between the first order and the second order was so huge, and this axe was unavoidable!
"Then let's die in battle!" Wu Haiyang roared, and the long knife in his hand slashed out against the battle axe.
At the moment when the battle axe slashed at Wu Haiyang's body, a flash of lightning suddenly fell in the sky, slashing at Aiden's body. Aiden's downward slash was slowed down.
Wu Haiyang took advantage of this moment to pass under Aiden's body, and the long knife in his hand took the opportunity to slash at Aiden's chest.
In the next second, a black lightning bolt was already approaching, and a brilliant sword slashed at the other two second-order powerhouses of the Onassis family at the same time.
Looking at this domineering figure, Yang Hongquan and Wu Haiyang's eyes were full of tears, and there were earth-shattering cheers from the troops behind them!
Hope for Phoenix has arrived!
