Chapter 866: Ridge of Sorrow

Leng Kite's eyes were very helpless, but there seemed to be something else in the helplessness, she silently looked at Luo Hanlin, looking at this old comrade-in-arms who had fought side by side with her for 12 years, and I don't know how long it took, she still slowly shook her head and said: "I'm sorry, you have been fighting for the Eagle Banner Army for 12 years, but this time, the main attack task cannot be handed over to you." ”

Luo Hanlin was a little anxious: "General?!" ”

"But." Leng Kite stretched out his hand, signaling Luo Hanlin to be calm for a while, and then said, "I'll give you another task, keep here." ”

As soon as Leng Kite's voice fell, his fingers fell on a certain position in the sand table, Luo Hanlin looked down and frowned: "Sadness Ridge? ”

Leng Kite nodded: "Sadness Ridge, Collapse 3 years of the Great Patriotic War, the imperial force was defeated in the Battle of Songjiang, in the cloud of defeat, many soldiers still did not give up, more than 5,000 defeated soldiers from different provinces, different military regions and different arms gathered here, spontaneously formed a defensive line, united as one, and blocked the more than 100,000 assault troops of the Federation for 7 days with the advantage of terrain, and finally all of them were martyred, and no life survived. The generalissimo wept when he heard this, and gave the name Sadness Ridge. ”

Luo Hanlin stared at the sand table for a while, and said puzzledly: "Sadness Ridge has become a city in the follow-up construction, a small city, with a population of only more than 100,000, and there is no strategic significance for attacking, why did you let me garrison here?" ”

"You seem to have forgotten one thing, Luo Hanlin, while we are trying to find a way to annihilate the Federation Circum-Naval Theater, they are also trying to find a way to annihilate us, and who will annihilate whom in the end is not yet known." Leng Kite drew a line in front of the Sorrow Ridge, squinted his eyes and said, "If the Imperial Army deployed on the front line is completely defeated, you can see for yourself, what will happen?" ”

Luo Hanlin is also a veteran in the army, and he has a deep understanding of the strategic map, he made up the situation described by Leng Kite in his brain, and finally opened his eyes wide, and said: "The Federation counterattack, Sadness Ridge is a shortcut to connect the interior of the empire, and all the military forces of the Federation will pass through here, just like the defeat in the Battle of Songjiang." ”

"Yes, in terms of the current situation on the front, Sad Ridge is of no offensive significance to us, but if our front line is defeated, this is the choke point to stop the fall. Hold on, the Federation cannot break through from a shortcut, it must take a detour, during this time the empire can repair the rout, can mobilize militarily, and can reorganize the new army in many ways. failed to hold it, the Federation drove straight in, the armored troops traveled hundreds of miles a day, the Valkyries bombarded for thousands of miles, and finally the entire empire collapsed. ”

"This time, if the empire is defeated, the Federation will not give us a chance, there will be no naval theater, there will be no condominium area, they will directly occupy the entire territory and directly wipe out our country." Leng Kite raised his head, silently patted Luo Hanlin's shoulder, and said, "Of course, if you are optimistic, as long as the front line is not defeated, there will be no war in Sorrow Ridge." But to be on the safe side, I need to send a trustworthy force here. ”

Luo Hanlin said without hesitation: "Trap me in the camp, I use this old army easily, give it to me, and Sadness Ridge will never be lost!" ”

"Don't say it so absolutely, the soldiers are impermanent, the water is impermanent, how can there be a victorious general in the world, and there is no way not to lose the Sadness Ridge." Leng Kite walked in front of Luo Hanlin, her dark purple eyes were burning with flames, and she said in a deep voice, "The guarantee of victory is meaningless, and accidents can happen at any time, so the order I give you is not to keep it, but to do your best to keep it." What does it mean to do your best? Even before the command sends a message to you to withdraw, no matter how many people you die, even if only one of you is still alive, even if you scratch it with your fingernails and bite it with your teeth, you must fight the Federation to the end. ”

Seeing that Luo Hanlin was silent, Leng Kite squinted his eyes and said: "Think about it and answer me again, I can give this task to Zhou Liangcheng, he once defended the lonely mountain in Mohe Hebei 8 years ago, I believe he can resolutely carry out the task." ”

"8 years ago, Zhou Liangcheng defended the lonely mountain for you, but I also defended the Fengyun Pass for you, did the general forget?!" Luo Hanlin stretched out his calloused hands, and his voice was like a bell, "This time, if the front line is defeated, I will fight for you to the last man in Sorrow Ridge!" ”

At this point, Leng Kite didn't say much, she picked up a pen and wrote down a document, stamped it with the seal of the pioneer general, and handed it to Luo Hanlin: "1000 Eagle Banner Army trapped in the camp, 4000 Wilderness Expeditionary Force elite, a total of 5000 people, just like the Battle of Sadness Ridge 12 years ago, I don't ask you to be earth-shattering, just ask you to hold it for 7 days when the front line is defeated." ”

Luo Hanlin took the document, his eyes burned with fire, and he saluted Leng Kite with a standard imperial military salute, and then withdrew from the tent and rushed to Sadness Ridge.

...

More than 100 miles behind the headquarters of the Eagle Banner Army, the marshal's personal conscription troops from Chang'an have arrived, and this force is all composed of elite Central Garrison Guards, and their appearance not only represents a determination to fight to the death, but also inspires the spirit of the front-line soldiers and makes them more tenacious and heroic.

In the army camp, the colonel of the Central Garrison Guard Gao Sheng was impressively listed, although this martial arts genius was crushed by the Wing of Freedom in the Battle of Sanjiangyuan, but fortunately he was optimistic and cheerful by nature, and after going back to lie down for a few months, he was alive and kicking up again, and the defeat was like it had never happened, he should eat, drink, and pick up girls every day, and he was so uncomfortable to live.

This time the marshal personally marched, Gao Sheng, as the first person in the Central Garrison Guard, should go to battle in a reasonable way, and no matter how much he didn't care, deep down he definitely wanted to make a meritorious service and break the demons buried in Sanjiangyuan.

At this time, the troops have been encamped, Gao Sheng is roasting a fierce beast caught on the road in front of the bonfire, this is a body length of more than 3 meters, weighing more than 800 kilograms, with huge tusks of wild boar, scientific name tusk pig, known for its strong physique and impact power, its full run can even knock over a full military vehicle.

Next to Gao Sheng, the little soldier Ye Feng also stood by the bonfire, he was rewarded with timely feedback on the situation because of his meritorious service to the generals in the Battle of Sanjiangyuan, coupled with his own efforts and hard work later, he was just promoted to the Central Garrison Guard Army for further study this year.

Ye Feng looked at the fanged pig with fist marks all over his body in a daze, and asked, "Colonel Gao Sheng, this is a fierce beast, right... Can you eat it? ”

"You can eat it, rest assured, it's not poisonous." Gao Sheng had finished plucking the fur, single-handedly carried the more than 800 kilograms of tusked pigs onto the sturdy grill, shook a bang, and then cut on it with ease, smeared the sauce, licked his fingers, and said with great interest, "I tell you, the tusked pigs are a good thing, especially their piglets, the meat is strong, fat but not greasy, and they are charred on the outside and tender on the inside. ”

Gao Sheng said as he spoke, his hands were covered with internal force, he reached into the fire and tore off a piece of sizzling pigskin, handed it to Ye Feng and said, "Come on, come on, taste it." ”

Ye Feng took the pigskin and blew two breaths, and bit it down, almost breaking his teeth, this is not surprising, the fanged pig, a fierce beast that is known for its defensive power, its skin can be described as invulnerable, even if it is roasted by fire, it is not something that ordinary people can bite with their teeth.

Ye Feng silently put down the pigskin, looked up at the handsome flag fluttering in the wind in the distance, and asked out loud: "By the way, this time the marshal is on a personal expedition, why didn't General Liu Fusu and General Yue Runsheng come together." ”

Gao Sheng tore off a piece of fanged pork, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and said while eating, "What are we going to do together?" These two people are civil officials, and they are useless in the war, and General Liu Fusu and the generalissimo are close, so they must be placed in Chang'an to keep an eye on General Yue Runsheng. ”

Ye Feng was confused: "Huh? What does it mean to stare at Admiral Yue Runsheng? ”

"Huh? Don't you know? Gao Sheng ate his mouth full of oil, and said vaguely, "Our generalissimo was not the next successor appointed by the generalissimo, he was the one who seized power. ”
