The Zhenjiang army is too fierce!

Whether it is infantry or cavalry, whether it is an archer or a broken camp, it is as if your life is not your own, you can rush or throw it casually, it doesn't matter!

This kind of momentum can only be described by the word crazy.

After a day and a night of fierce fighting, Gema knew in his heart that this was already the limit of the integrated army in Western Xinjiang.

Not to mention that the walls of the camp are damaged in many places, and the soldiers under his command are making up for leaks on all sides and are exhausted, the most exaggerated problem is that there is even a rare upside-down phenomenon on the battlefield - the casualties of the defender are actually greater than those of the attacker!

This can only show one thing, the overall combat strength of the Zhenjiang Army far exceeds the level of the Yakutia and Western Xinjiang Army.

If you continue to consume it like this, let alone defend the camp, I am afraid that in the end, you will not even have a chance to escape.

Taking advantage of the temporary suspension of the attack and a short rest by the Zhenjiang army, Gemar Khan decisively issued an order: abandon the camp! Set! The whole army retreats into Zijin Pass as soon as possible!

At the sound of the order, the miserable Yakut soldiers and the officers and soldiers of Western Xinjiang retreated from their positions one after another, not even caring about the minimum sequence belonging, and rushed out of the back door of the camp and rushed in the direction of Zijin Pass.

Seeing this, Gema Khan couldn't help but be angry, he was going to summon all the generals to come over and hack to death a few generals in Western Xinjiang in order to clean up military discipline, but he didn't expect that at this time, there was a faint thunderous hoof sound in the distance - the Zhenjiang ironclad cavalry army slapped his horse and killed!

Forget it, it's all about military discipline, run for your life!

-

Gemar Khan sat in his chair, panting heavily, his hand holding the copper bowl trembling, and the goat's milk was almost spilled.

The officer in charge of counting the number of people walked into the house and reported in a deep voice: "Khan, the count is clear. There are more than 32,700 people who entered the Zijin Pass alive. Among them, our Yakut brothers are 8,294, and the rest are soldiers and horses of the 3rd and 4th Divisions of Western Xinjiang. ”

Hearing this, the muscles on Gemma's face twitched involuntarily a few times.

He now regrets it very much.

Knowing this, he shouldn't have played so much tricks before, so he just let his younger brother, Duke Belen, rush to reinforcements.

Gema originally thought that 80,000 against 100,000 people, no matter how much they shackled, would always last until the day when Belen led his troops to successfully attack. At that time, the old nest of the Zhenjiang army was lost, and the back road was cut off, and under the chaos of the army, it would definitely be difficult to escape the doom of being attacked by the two brothers.

However, who would have thought? The Zhenjiang army was so terrifying.

Just two days, just two days! The 80,000 soldiers and horses defended by the village were beaten by the Zhenjiang army of similar size.

To put it more bluntly, it will directly make the family crippled!

Until now, Gemma felt a little scared.

If it weren't for his quick reaction and fast running, it might not be easy to say whether the 32,000 remnants of the soldiers, including himself, would be able to return to Zijin Pass safely.

"Li Jiangyao is too powerful!"

Gema thought silently in his heart, and at the same time, he also began to worry about Belen's safety, and the previous determination and confidence were gone at this moment.

The Zijin guard standing next to him, seeing that Gema had been in a daze, couldn't help but speak: "Gema Khan, please take a look." On the battlefield, anything can happen, and there is no need to be sad about a small defeat. ”

A small loss?

Gema listened to the other party's comforting words, and felt extremely harsh. Most of the soldiers and horses were lost in the First World War, do you actually say that it was a small defeat,, mocking Lao Tzu?

Gema snorted coldly with a gloomy face, and then said in a deep voice: "Don't talk about these useless things yet!" Now that the rebels are approaching Zijin Pass, there is no way, so I have to reluctantly take on the responsibility of guarding this place for the time being. ”

The guard was slightly stunned, slightly puzzled: "What did you say?" Guarding here? ”

"yes, are you deaf?" Gema glared at him angrily: "I'm talking about guarding Zijin Pass." ”

The guard general couldn't help but smile bitterly, and suppressed his anger and said, "Gemar Khan, are you always joking with the last general? Zijin Pass is the jurisdiction of the Second Legion of our Golden Clan, when did it come under the control of the Governor of Western Xinjiang? ”

"When? Just now! Gema threw the copper bowl in his hand to the ground and said lightly: "Just when I led the army into the customs!" ”

The Zijin guard turned pale: "Gema Khan, what are you going to do?" I gave you face before, for the sake of the unity of the two major tribes of Gold and Nightwheel, I promised you not to report the situation of the rebels to the Great Khan and the Prince for the time being, which is equivalent to allowing you the opportunity to make up for your mistakes. Today, it is even more because we opened the Zijin Pass in time and let your soldiers and horses in, so that you and your subordinates avoided the end of the annihilation of the entire army. How? Do the Nightwheels want revenge? ”

Gema looked at him coldly: "At the moment of the great enemy, where did you get so much nonsense?" In this place, my position is several levels higher than yours, and I have more troops than you, if I don't take over Zijin Pass, who will take over? Could it be that he watched it fall into Li Jiangyao's hands? ”

The guard raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "You are the Khan of the Night Wheel Clan, and you are a high and powerful position, but the Turks are the Turks of the Golden Clan, not that you can do whatever you want!" I will immediately send someone to the Great Khan and ask for a holy judgment, you wait! ”

"Don't mess around." Gema sneered sadly: "As soon as I enter the customs, the few people under your command will be controlled by my soldiers and horses. All roads leading from Zijin Pass to the imperial capital also have my checkpoints, and no news can be delivered. ”

The guard's eyes widened in disbelief: "Gema, you want to rebel?!" ”

Gema shook her head: "I don't want to rebel, not at all. What are the benefits of rebellion? It is not my turn to be the Great Khan of the Turks. I just want to protect myself and my people. Until the mess in Western Xinjiang is completely settled, no one can reveal the slightest rumor to me, including you. ”

-

"The enemy is retreating too quickly." Du Jian, the commander of the Second Army, looked at Zijin Pass and couldn't help muttering: "I originally thought that it would take at least a few days for them to retreat, but I didn't expect that after only three rounds of attack, Gema would be intimidated, and there was no time for us to prepare for the pursuit at all." ”

Xu Youchang glanced at him helplessly and reminded: "Lao Du, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the enemy will never be beaten obediently according to our rhythm, so no matter when, you should be prepared to do it with multiple hands." As I told you before, keep enough reserves for pursuit and cover, and go up at any time. ”

Du Jian nodded thoughtfully, and replied with a serious expression: "Yes, I remember!" ”

He hesitated slightly, and then asked, "Xu Tou'er, what are we going to do next, do you want to prepare for a strong attack on Zijin Pass?" ”

Xu Youchang shook his head: "It's not time yet. First, the order given to us by the Lord is very clear, drive Gema's troops into the Zijin Pass, and cut off his echo contact with Belen, even if the goal is achieved; Second, the other side still has at least 30,000 or 40,000 troops, and with the fortifications of the fortress, it will no longer be as easy to clean up as the previous wooden village. I think we'd better wait, and you'll have new instructions soon. ”

Du Jian nodded silently and didn't say anything more.

Xu Youchang thought for a while, and then said: "In the past two days, the brothers of the Second Army have worked hard to storm Gema, so let's temporarily withdraw to the camp to rest." The task of monitoring Zijin Pass was entrusted to Montenegro by their Fourth Army. ”

Du Jian answered, turned his horse and galloped towards his troops.

Looking at his slightly lonely back, Xu Youchang couldn't help but feel a little sorry in his heart. When he was attacked by a large Turkic army outside the city of Homnitz, Lin Feng retreated to cover him, and after fighting to the death, he finally died in battle. Since then, Du Jian has been unable to let go, always feeling that he killed his good brother.

Because of this, every time he went into battle, he always sacrificed his life to fight, as if he deliberately begged for death, and he didn't care about his personal life at all. And the Second Army of Agni led by him is also the most hard-trained and tenacious force in the entire Zhenjiang Army.

Xu Youchang said in his heart: Du Jian is a veteran of the Pegasus Scout Battalion, a few years older than himself and Li Jiangyao, and he is a tough guy who is used to the battlefield and life and death. But don't look at his usual grin, as if he doesn't care about anything, but in fact, there is a softest place in his heart, which has always been left to his good brothers who died on the battlefield.

The softest, but also the heaviest.

Alas, I don't know how many amiable and respectable people will be taken away from this great war?

As he sighed to himself, a horse galloped from a distance. When he ran closer, the herald on the horse turned over lightly and neatly, landed firmly on the ground, and then gave a military salute and said loudly: "General Xu, the commander of the army!" ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand to untie the letter box tied behind his back, then took out a roll of silk silk from it and handed it to Xu Youchang with both hands.

Xu Youchang stretched out his hand to take it, unfolded it and looked at it carefully, and then asked the herald: "In addition to this military order, do you have any other instructions?" ”

"Yes!" The herald's voice was loud: "My lord has specially explained, please General Xu after receiving the order, don't hesitate, be sure to hurry!" Fast! Fast! ”

Xu Youchang nodded when he heard this, and while signing his name on the official paper presented by the herald with both hands, to confirm that he had received the order from his superiors, he said: "Please go back and tell the commander-in-chief, our department will be pulled out immediately to ensure the completion of the task!" ”

Xu Youchang hurriedly ordered someone to call Du Jian and Montenegro, carefully explained the arrangement to the two, and then ordered the horn to be blown, gather the main force of the First Cavalry Army under his command, and set off quickly.

Their destination was Rouge City, not far from the rear.
