The fire at Wushan Pass burned for three days and two nights before it was extinguished after a heavy rain. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the first moment when the fire was extinguished, Buchen and Er Hazhong in the south of Guancheng invariably sent soldiers to fight for Wushan Pass, and the elite soldiers on both sides fought in the streets and alleys full of ruins regardless of the mud, and the fight was extremely fierce!

Although the soldiers had the advantage of firearms and sophisticated equipment, because the rain had not stopped at that time, the muskets taken out of the oiled paper were inevitably damp after being fired once, and they could no longer be used.

The soldiers had no choice but to stick bayonets into their rifles and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the orc soldiers!

Although the two divisions brought by Buchen this time are equipped with neural network terminals, and have experienced more than ten years of high-intensity training in the virtual reality, as well as hundreds of harsh combat tests, both the will to fight and the combat skills have reached the peak, but the disadvantage in physical strength still makes it difficult for them to gain the upper hand in hand-to-hand combat with the beast soldiers, and can only barely maintain the battle line.

The number of casualties continued to soar, and even the ministers who were fighting outside the gate couldn't sit still, so they took Fei Fei into battle in person, and rushed into the city to help punch!

With the addition of such a 10,000-strong enemy as him, the balance of victory in this rotten battle gradually shifted to the side of the human race.

Every time the long knife wrapped in red and black fighting qi flames was swung, at least a dozen orc warriors were slashed in the mud! The officers and men followed closely in the footsteps of the man with bayonets, and occasionally saw one or two lucky ones who did not lose their breath, and only then did they have a chance to mend their knives.

The orc side was unwilling to lose, and also sent reinforcements!

Led by Wang Tiexin, the first warrior of the Tiger Clan, a group of orc generals personally went out and fought fiercely with the brave Buchen in Wushan Pass, although the final result was still a complete victory for Buchen, and the orc generals retreated with heavy casualties, but the decline of the defeat was stopped.

At this time, the rain finally stopped, and seizing this opportunity, Er Hazhong sent thousands of giant bow shooters who had just dried their bowstrings to the front line!

In the face of the overwhelming rain of giant arrows, he had no choice but to stop advancing, and used the Instant Slash Crazy Knife to make a cameo appearance again with a human Aegis, escorting the soldiers out of Osan Pass.

It's just that Er Hazhong also failed to win this battle, and as soon as Buchen came out of the pass, Wang Ergen and Lu Dazhuang once again ordered the artillery regiment to cover Wushan Pass with dozens of rounds of white phosphorus bombs!

The humid environment couldn't stop the burning of white phosphorus, not to mention that there were thousands of beast soldiers in Guancheng at this time?

The fire once again engulfed the city, along with the orc soldiers who had just thought they had won!

This defeat-losing battle gave Er Hazhong a heavy blow, not only losing the lives of thousands of orc warriors, but also losing several famous fierce generals among the orcs!

And at this time, anyone can see that the beast clan will not be able to capture Wushan Pass no matter what, as long as there is still a white phosphorus bomb in the minister, then even if the city is lost, he can turn the so-called victors into "roast pigs", and the final outcome is still for everyone to sit and wait for the fire to be extinguished......

Outside the Orc Company Camp.

"General, you can't fight anymore! We have no food, and I don't know how long it will take for this fire to go out! We can't afford to wait, and even if this fire is extinguished immediately, the bastard can light another fire! If we continue like this, we're going to starve to death here! ”

Just led the team to charge, and was broken by Buchen, an arm was broken, so that Wang Tiexin, who had been burned and his soul was suspended, lay on the stretcher, and shouted at Er Hazhong, who was standing outside the gate of the camp, wearing thin fish scale armor, with a gloomy expression and dull eyes.

As if he hadn't heard, Er Hazhong still stood there indifferent.

Wang Tiexin shouted twice, and finally exhausted his energy, and his head tilted and fainted.

The orc soldiers followed behind Wang Tiexin's stretcher, shrugged their heads, and walked listlessly towards the camp, and no one looked at Er Hazhong, as if the guy standing in front of the door was just a lifeless statue......

That night, until all the soldiers returned to the camp along the narrow passage in the south of Wushan Guan, Er Hazhong walked back in despair, today during the day, he didn't hear Wang Tiexin's voice, but at this time, he also has some six gods and no master, I don't know what to do!

Withdraw troops? It's easy to say, to return to a place where there is a town, at least more than 300 miles of desert and grassland, in the process, they have to go hungry, and there is no guarantee that they will not come to hunt down!

If they don't come to chase after them, then these 200,000 hungry and demoralized beast warriors will definitely be defeated!

What followed was the tragic chase, and on the way back to the town to the south, the corpses of the orc warriors would be covered!

But if they don't retreat and continue to stalemate here, then they will really starve to death here! And before starving to death, maybe the whole army will collapse, so that they will still be hunted down, and the outcome of the whole army will not change in the slightest!

It can be said that no matter what decision he makes now, their western expedition will be defeated! The difference is just how many people survive!

Thinking like this, Er Hazhong couldn't hold on any longer, his knees weakened, he knelt down in the southeast direction, and cried loudly: "Master! Minions are sorry for you! Not only did you not complete the task you arranged, but you also buried the entire army of the Western Expedition! ”

Er Hazhong's personal soldiers didn't go to support him, but just stood aside expressionlessly, staring at their master crying and grabbing the ground.

"Master! What should the minions do? What the hell are minions going to do?! ”

However, no one answered Er Hazhong, and between the gloomy and gloomy heaven and earth, there was only an extremely oppressive dead silence!

"Alas!" Er Hazhong cried for a while, and finally quieted down, he sighed, and said in a tone that was more mournful than dead: "Order the whole army, take advantage of the opportunity of the fire at Wushan Pass to retreat south, and along the road, everything that can be eaten can be used as military food!" ”

"Understood, General." One of the soldiers lightly agreed.

"If possible, help me bring a message to my master - I'm sorry for him!" As he spoke, Hazhong pulled out his saber from his waist and put it around his neck.

The pro-soldiers didn't dare to be indifferent anymore, and they hurriedly rushed up and controlled Er Hazhong.

"General, there is a saying in mankind! Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood! As long as your life is there, there will be no chance of shame in the future, so why can't you think about it? A pro-soldier said bitterly persuaded.

Er Hazhong laughed miserably and did not answer. He knew very well why these soldiers cared so much about his death - according to the military law of the beast clan, if the lord is about to die, his own soldiers will be killed! If Er Hazhong died, then none of these pro-soldiers present would want to survive!

"You shouldn't stop me! On the way to escape, the world will definitely chase and kill, when the time comes, whether I can escape to 'Yanji Town (the nearest southern town to Wushan Pass, breaking the army)' depends on the will of heaven, the possibility of success is very small, rather than being killed by the pawns under the world Buchen on the way, it is better to cut myself off! ”

It's just that no matter what Er Hazhong said, this group of pro-soldiers refused to let go of him, and in the end, Er Hazhong had to die of self-determination, threw the knife to the pro-soldiers, and went back to the tent to rest with heavy steps.

In any case, after a hard day of fighting today, everyone in the Western Expeditionary Army from top to bottom is exhausted, and they will not be able to embark on the long road of escape without a break! Even if it is at the risk of an extra night's delay......

The next day, the fire at Wushan Pass had not yet been extinguished, and the Western Expeditionary Army of the Beast Clan took this opportunity to drag their hungry stomachs and embark on the road of escape.

Because it had rained yesterday, the roads were muddy, and in order to flee, they threw the weapons and armor they carried with them all the way and disarmed themselves!

Buchen learned about this at the first time, but at this time, the fire in Wushan Pass was only reduced, and it was not extinguished, so it was impossible to catch up.

In order to make the best use of time, he organized all the cavalry units in the two divisions together, and temporarily set up a commander to lead him, so that he could go to chase and kill as soon as the fire was extinguished!

Because Osan Pass had already been burned once, there were more than half of the "combustibles" in the city compared to the first time, so the fire was extinguished in the afternoon.

Buchen did not hesitate, and personally led this cavalry to chase and kill the Western Expeditionary Army of the Beast Clan!
