Chapter 436: The whereabouts of the Ninth Legion

Jiang Xi's brows jumped when he heard this, "Urgently order the Second Army Corps to go to support at full speed." ”

Staff Officer Zhang replied: "Commander Fan Yi has just discovered the summons, and the main force of the 2nd Army Corps has received a call for help from the 13th Division of Lindi, and he is leading his headquarters to rush there. ”

Staff Officer Sun interjected and said: "How can the Ninth Army of Meng move faster than the Thirteenth Army of Meng? Could it be that it was ambushed in advance at the Lower Hanging Pass? Will the other main forces of the Meng Army also attack our defense area from the Lower Hanging Pass?"

"Probably not, if the enemy's main force wants to attack the southern theater, then it will be the Meng 13th Army that will be hanging under the attack. Isn't there any news from Dougou Pass?" Jiang Zhi shook his head and said.

"Just now I summoned Sheng Xu, the general of Dougou Pass, and he replied that there was no change in the 13th Army of Meng. "As a member of the staff of the corps, Staff Officer Zhang is rigorous, but sometimes he likes to drill the horns.

"Report!" the scout outside the command headquarters summoned, "Junqiguan sent five thousand men to dig a trench near the city wall. ”

"This is to deal with our cavalry, is Helian Yu going to fight with our army under the military flag, and is it going to consume the strength of our Eighth Legion?" Staff Officer Sun is very good at asking targeted questions, and the key is that he rarely answers his own questions with certainty.

"Do Helian Yu want to divert our troops?" Jiang Zhi was also a little unsure of Helian Yu's thoughts.

"Is it just Meng Jun who has been making changes recently?" Jiang Xi saw a key question.

"Ah, yes, Cao Jun and Qi Jun haven't moved yet. If the reinforcements of the Meng State are in place, the total strength of the enemy army will far exceed our army in a short period of time, and Helian Yu will be able to use a lot more tactics. If she keeps going out of the customs to test her, she will soon know that our reinforcements have not yet arrived, and then she will inevitably launch a thunderous blow. Jiang Zhi was a little anxious and couldn't think of an effective countermeasure for a while.

It's not that Jiang Zhi's ability is necessarily inferior to Helianyu, but Helianyu has too much initiative in his hands, and it is not trivial for the "female general" to initiate Weilai.

"Meng Guo Zhenhai Gong, there are not many records about this clan in the history of the kingdom's war, and he has never been a head-on enemy of my country, I didn't expect that a random heir could make the old man so embarrassed. Jiang Xi stood up, paced outside the gate of the headquarters, looked up at the dazzling sunlight, and thought: If I were her, how would I deploy troops?

The scout captain of the 13th Division rushed back to the camp with thousands of cavalry.

The fire was still burning, but there was not a single living person around, except for the charcoal camp on the ground, there were the corpses of the Shaodian army lying on the ground.

Thousands of cavalry did not dare to rush into the fire, so they could only circle around the lower hanging pass and block the large camp.

The captain of the scout went crazy and tried to rush into the camp, but he was held by his men, and rushing in at this time was no different from sending him to death.

From the outside, it can be seen that the middle camp has been completely burned down, and the black ash in one place cannot tell which ones are corpses and which ones are the remains of the camp.

"Lord Fan!" the scout captain roared hoarsely, unable to break free from the resistance of dozens of people, and could only use his voice to vent the grief and anger in his chest.

Half an hour later, the "Second Army of the Linhai Prefecture Local Army" and the banner of "Fan" jumped out of the ground, and the earthy yellow torrent flooded the earth and swept towards the camp of the lower hanging pass.

The legion commander Fan Yi rode his horse and ran at the forefront of the main army, and two personal soldiers in fine armor followed closely behind.

When he came to the dilapidated camp filled with black smoke and fires everywhere, and saw the men crying on the ground, and the cavalry constantly expanding the cordon, Fan Yi asked: "What about the people of the 13th Division?"

The captain of the scout struggled to get up, knelt down in front of Fan Yi's horse, and said in a choked voice: "Nan Wushuang, the captain of the new scout brigade of the 13th Division, leads the new scout brigade of 713 people, see the commander." The 13th Division was left with these people from our department, and the rest were all martyred in battle. ”

Fan Yi on horseback breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it was good that no one was captured, this was already a blessing in misfortune.

"Where is the Ninth Legion of Meng now?" Fan Yi's eyes showed a cold glow.

A blood-red horse galloped quickly, stopped behind Fan Yi in a dashing manner, and the knight on horseback said: "Lord Yu, the thirty-mile scout sent earlier reported that there was no trace of the enemy army nearby. "This knight is the commander of the 11th Division.

"Nan Wushuang, are you sure that the enemy army has a legion attacking this place?" asked Fan Yi with his head sideways.

"Commander, when my subordinates evacuated, they saw about 50,000 people attacking the camp, and the other half were still holding their troops. "Nan Wushuang was also chased by thousands of people before he withdrew from the battlefield.

"50,000 people? Well, in a short period of time, breaking through Fan Xiang's battalion, the combat effectiveness of the Ninth Army of Meng is not bad. Among the Fan family's disciples, Fan Xiang's attack was not sharp enough, but his defense was very stable, and his commanders were basically fellow villagers, and his defensive ability was not bad for the general regular army.

Can't find the whereabouts of the enemy army within thirty miles? Impossible, no matter how careful the crossing of nearly 100,000 troops is, there will be traces left, you must have missed something!"

The commander of the 11th Division blushed and said, "Well, the northwest direction is Huashan County, and in addition to the main force of our regiment, other troops are stationed, so my subordinates did not send anyone to find this direction." ”

"Confused, the terrain of our army's defense area to the south and east of this place is dangerous, and this army that can move quickly should not have the ability to attack fortifications, otherwise it will not use 50,000 people to raid and attack the camp of Xiaguan Pass.

Therefore, they will either retreat and hang the pass, waiting for an opportunity to launch another surprise attack, or they will wave their troops to Huashan County and attack the weak points of our defense line by surprise, so as to disrupt the deployment of our army.

From the fact that they attacked here regardless of casualties, it can be seen that the enemy generals have a great plan, and they must have taken another fork in the road to Huashan County.

Nan Wushuang, can you still straighten up and be a gentleman?" Fan Yi changed his words and suddenly said to Nan Wushuang.

Bang, Nan Wushuang stood up straight, gave a standard military salute, ignored the bloodshot from the corners of his eyes, and said loudly: "Hui Dashuai, his subordinates and seven hundred and eleven three brothers are willing to fight to the death with the enemy." ”

"Very good, you are the seeds of the 13th Division, and Ben Shuai will not let you die in vain. Since you are a scout brigade, you should take someone to search for me in the northwest direction, and if you find any traces of the enemy, you will immediately come back and report to me, and you must not act without permission!" Fan Yi's order made Nan Wushuang, who was full of determination to die, ignite his will to fight.

"I can't let Lord Fan and his brothers die here in vain, I want to protect the last bit of bloodline for the division, and if I have the opportunity, I must find the Meng Ninth Army to take revenge!" Nan Wushuang thought of this, his chest was a lot more cheerful, and he knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice: "My subordinate Nan Wushuang will live up to the high expectations of the commander!"
