Chapter 058: The Thin West Mountain (I)

"Boom, boom, boom!"

At the same time as Hu You's arrow was shot, Hou Sanyi threw down three fireballs in a row, igniting Dazhai. The black smoke made it impossible to open your eyes, and it didn't take long for a hint of meat to be smelled in the air.

"It's a pity!" Hu Wei said secretly, putting away the sun-changing bow. Although that shot hit Tiekla, Tiekla's reaction was too fast, and as long as he had one eye, it really didn't kill him.

Although I am unwilling, it is impossible to find such an opportunity again. You can only retreat first.

Hu Wei joined the other divisions of the 18th Division at Ladong, and only then did he know that Anrong had launched an attack on 19 border points at the same time last night, and by dawn, 11 borders had already been breached. Troops like him, who held out until the order to retreat, retreated, had only five places in the entire legion. In the other four places, at least divisional and regimental units are stationed. Only Hu Wei's Huanglong Road is garrisoned by columns.

Here, I would like to explain the location of this place in Qingzhou. Qingzhou is a very special place, the connection between its south and the Mandala Empire, due to the cross-cutting relationship of the Qinchuan Mountains, there is only one contact point in Letongcheng. The situation in the north is quite the opposite. Qingzhou and Anrong are fully bordered.

If you look at the geographical position, the relationship between Qingzhou and Anrong is closer. Historically, Qingzhou has also been the land of Anrong several times, and the most recent one was 38 years ago.

Someone used Qingzhou to make a very vivid analogy. Qingzhou is like a concubine, whenever the Central Plains region is strong, it belongs to the Central Plains, whether the country in the Central Plains is called Mandala or Bauhinia, or whatever, it belongs to the Central Plains. But the Central Plains is weak, and it has become peaceful.

In fact, it's that simple.

Anrong is a country that doesn't have a lot of resources. At least six months of the year are in the period of heavy snow and ice. Equivalent to the rest of the Central Plains, Qingzhou is also a place with no resources, where there is almost nothing to remember except for the snow spirit monkey. Because there are too many places where good things can be produced in the Central Plains. Qingzhou, a cold and poor place, is really uninteresting.

But Qingzhou is so beautiful for Anrong, Qingzhou can grow a variety of food, minerals, forests, and too many things.

One occupies it, but it is of little use. One wants it very much, but never gets it. This is the situation in Qingzhou now. An Rong has always wanted to get Qingzhou, and for this they are willing to pay a huge price, even at the cost of fighting the Mandala Empire. The Mandala Empire did not take Qingzhou so seriously, although the Northern Corps Blizzard Legion was set up here, its intention was just not to let people snatch it of a toy and. This is also the biggest factor why the Red Turban Army is in the Langtian Riot, and among the five major legions of the empire, only the Blizzard Legion has been largely withdrawn, while the other legions have not moved a single soldier.

At the meeting of divisions and regiments above the rank of the pawn army, Hu Wei saw that many seats were empty. Compared to his own side, when the army did not die, the battle situation in other places looked even more miserable, with a thick gauze wrapped around the shoulders of General Bierhoff, and no one by Morientes' side except him.

"General Morientes was attacked by two regiments of Anrong, and his three lieutenants and nine soldiers were all killed. The Third Wing had more than 1,000 men, and now there were no more than 100 men left, and half of them were wounded. Bokamp said in Hu's ear.

"So miserable?" said Hu Wei in surprise. More than 1,000 people died in the war, and more than 900 people died, and the survival rate was less than 10%.

"Well, you're pretty good in comparison. A column can still bring back more than 200 people for me, and at the rank of general, only three captains have been lost. Bokamp Road.

Hearing Bokamp's words, Riquelme's three pawns were very moved in their hearts. They knew very well in their hearts that if it weren't for Hu Wei, I am afraid that no one in their column would be able to come back. Fight with Anrong's beast army with 300 soldiers who only eat wild vegetable porridge every meal, and still want anyone to survive?

"Then our 18th Division, isn't the casualty this time very large?" asked Hu Wei.

"It's not as simple as big, do you know how many are left in our division now? One thousand two hundred and twenty-three, no, it's twenty-two, and when I came in just now, I hung up another one. It was one of the lieutenants of Bierhoff, who escaped from the battle and was executed by the Governor. Bokamp Road.

"I can't imagine it. Hu Wei shook his head, secretly saying pity in his heart. More than 1,700 dead, if this was all for himself, how good it would be.

Hu Wei has a lot of plans in his heart, but unfortunately there are not so many people for him to realize. Take Huanglongdao as an example, he believes that if he had 3,000 men and horses under his command at that time, not a single beast army in Tiekla would be able to get by.

"Our division is okay. The 7th Division guarding the Yellow River, the 11th Division guarding the peace, were only 500 people alive, and the worst was the 9th Division, their troops were previously pumped 1,000 people to Langtian, and they were not replenished by personnel, from the governor to the soldiers, all of them died in battle, and none of them returned. And "Bokamp seems to have a lot of pressure in his heart, and he keeps looking for words to say, as if venting the pressure."

Hu Wei listened on the side, silently without saying a word. Is this the army that the Empire is proud of? If the blizzard is like this, what about the other legions, how much better can they be?

After waiting for more than 20 minutes, Deschamps finally appeared, if he hadn't said that he knew he was okay in the morning, he would have thought that he was also dead.

Hu Wei waited for a long time, but the content of the actual meeting was very short. In addition to their respective reports on battle damage, there are two points in total. The first point is that Anrong did not declare war on the empire and waved 200,000 troops to suppress the border. On the second point, Ladong could not be defended, and the whole army continued to retreat.

There was no talk of reinforcements, no talk of reconquest, no summing up of the mistakes of defeat, and no mention of the shortage of military rations in the front-line officers and soldiers on the front line before the start of the war. The whole point of the meeting was retreat, and nothing else.

"It's really aggrieved, if we knew that this was the case, we might as well die in Huanglong Road. Merck whipped the boulder close beside her, sending the rubble flying.

"Heh, you don't look tired, but you're so strong. Hu Wei just walked by and said.

"Captain. ”

"Captain. ”

Merck and Riquelme saw Hu Wei and hurriedly saluted. It's respect from the heart.

Hu Wei sat down beside the two: "What, what are you two talking about here?"

Merck just wanted to speak, but Riquelme preemptively said: "It's nothing big, it's just that Merck has anger in her stomach and wants to vent." ”

Merck said in a rough voice: "Riquelme, don't stop me. If I don't say the words in my heart, I'm going to be violent. ”

Hu Wei casually picked up a stick of grass and bit it in his mouth: "Merck, you can say anything." ”

Merck shouted, "Captain, I don't understand, we are not a soldier now, we are not a soldier of the Buran Legion." ”

Hu Wei asked, "What do you think?"

"I don't think so, we don't deserve to be called soldiers. Soldiers take it as their duty to protect their homes and defend the country, but what are we doing now, we are being chased by Anrong people everywhere on our own land.

The Anrong people killed our compatriots and burned down the houses of the people. And we just know how to run. Run from Tianhe to Ladong, from Ladong to here, and then again.

Are we still soldiers? I feel like a lost dog now," Merck said, already crying. It is said that men don't flick when they have tears, and who will cry if they don't reach the sad place.
