Chapter 335 A hundred thousand troops are approaching the city!

Continuous artillery fire exploded wantonly in the valley.

The miserable sound spread in all directions.

Lines of black smoke rose and dissipated, and the insect corpses were burned to ashes.

Hundreds of giant beasts were blown to pieces, their flesh and blood scorched black, and they died of serious injuries.

The army in the valley suffered heavy losses for a while.

...

Hundreds of meters away in the valley

Yang Wenlin was commanding the artillery unit, covering the valley with artillery fire, and would not stop until all the ammunition was empty at once.

At this time, the adjutant looked at Yang Wenlin with an expression of disbelief.

Where are the supplies and ammunition?

The valley is empty.

A regiment was sent to guard it, just to lure the enemy into a trap!

Thousands of soldiers became his pawns.

There is definitely death in war.

There is nothing wrong with sacrificing.

But those soldiers never thought before they died that they would be used as bait by their own people, deceived, and died with doubts.

They died indirectly at the hands of their own people.

Yang Wenlin is worthy of being called one of the twin walls of the empire, and his ruthless methods are really frightening.

"After the artillery ammunition is empty, let all the infantry troops press into the valley and wipe out the enemy."

Yang Wenlin said coldly.

The adjutant was stunned for a moment and then asked: "Division Commander, the enemies are not necessarily the only ones in the valley. Wouldn't it be too risky for us to press all our troops in?"

Yang Wenlin turned his gaze and said in a deep voice: "If we don't do this, how can we attract enemy reinforcements?"

"The Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Divisions are no more than two kilometers behind us."

Listening to Yang Wenlin's answer, the adjutant was suddenly shocked: "Did you use yourself as bait?"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Yang Wenlin could reply, a fierce roar of insects suddenly sounded from all around.

The earth trembled, rocks cracked, and terrifying insect shadows burst out of the ground, swallowing up the soldiers on the ground.

"Monster! What a scary monster!"

"It's coming!"

"Run!"

The giant worm with a body length of more than ten meters destroyed the enemy's position instantly, and more than a dozen people were swallowed before they could make a sound.

What kind of scene would it be like to see worms emerge from the ground one by one, or hundreds of them?

The terrifying appearance instantly caused the enemy's psychology to collapse.

Hundreds of ground stinging insects emerge from the ground immediately. They will feel the temperature of the surface above to determine whether there are enemies.

Then the sharp ground spikes smashed into the rocks and broke out of the ground. The powerful bouncing ability increased the power of the impact, so that after smashing the rocks, they could instantly pierce the enemy.

For a time, the enemy's position became extremely chaotic, with the sound of gunfire accompanied by screams and insect roars.

In the valley, more Zerg rushed out of the valley and rushed towards the enemy.

Countless enemy soldiers died miserably, and the sudden change in the battle situation also caused Yang Wenlin's expression to change.

The enemy had monsters that could attack from the ground, which was a bit beyond his expectation.

Whoosh whoosh—

Whoosh whoosh—

Countless arrows were shot at the enemy from the dense jungle in an instant.

It turned into an endless rain of arrows and rushed towards the enemy.

These arrows are not only dense, but also extremely accurate.

Each one can accurately hit the enemy's vital points.

Yang Wenlin watched a large number of soldiers fall down after being hit by arrows, and his tense face relaxed at this time.

"Order people to fire cannons into the sky, and then gather the troops to retreat backwards."

After the words fell, the adjutant hurriedly assembled a group of soldiers and controlled the muzzle of the cannon to release it into the sky.

Then he led everyone to evacuate backwards.

Yang Wenlin, his adjutant and the remaining officers gathered nearly 5,000 troops and quickly retreated. The remaining tens of thousands of people either fled in all directions, died miserably, or were abandoned there to delay the enemy.

At this time, Li quickly came to support with 10,000 Temple Rangers and 10,000 Thunder Bronze Lancers.

As Panli's side evacuated the Zerg, all 10,000 Temple Rangers entered the scene and used their superb archery skills to eliminate all remaining enemies in a very short period of time.

Later, tens of thousands of corpses were devoured and absorbed by thousands of Zerg, causing them to grow several times larger.

"Commander, the enemy has been found in the rear of our army!"

Several shadow guards quickly ran over and cupped their hands in response.

"Commander, there are enemies in other directions too!"

Several more shadow guards ran up and spoke out.

Li frowned and said in a deep voice: "The enemy's remaining troops are less than a few thousand. If you want to form an encirclement, the enemy's reinforcements must have arrived!"

"What a good plan to make a living. First, they used thousands of people to lure our army to the valley, and then set up an ambush. Then they used themselves as bait to lure the follow-up troops to rush to support. Finally, they used reinforcements to form an encirclement, intending to eat all our troops."

"What a chain plan!"

"The opponent's long-range methods are too strong. We must use offense instead of defense. Notify Panli and quickly get out of the valley. We will break out to the east and wait for your next order!"

"Yes, I understand!"

The communications soldier beside him immediately relayed the order to the army in the valley.

...

...

In the valley, the communications troops hurriedly ran over and said: "Deputy Commander, a military order came from above, ordering our troops to quickly get out of the valley to join the main force and break through the enemy's encirclement to the east together."

Listening to the order repeated by the communications soldier, Panli's expression suddenly became extremely solemn.

He looked at the countless wounded soldiers on the ground.

If you want to break through, it will be difficult to take away the wounded soldiers.

Some of the wounded soldiers had lost their arms and legs, some parts of their bodies had been blown to pieces, and there were even more seriously injured alien beasts.

He gritted his teeth and shouted: "Everyone who can move should follow me and fight out. Those who can't move... just find a place to hide and wait for Da Qin's army to come back!"

"Leave the medicines for the wounded soldiers, and everyone rush out after me!"

After the words fell, the silent soldiers turned the depression in their hearts into strength, and ran wildly out of the valley with their legs moving desperately.

The remaining wounded soldiers took the medicine and looked silently at the back of the army as they left.

Ten minutes later, the two armies successfully merged together.

With nearly 40,000 troops, it is easy to break through.

With the Zerg taking the lead, reaching through the ground can instantly collapse the enemy's defenses.

The army can take this opportunity to break through.

The main reason why they did not choose to continue the attack was because the number of enemy reinforcements was unknown, and it was easy to pay a heavy price for making a rash decision.

As the breakout begins.

Hundreds of burrowing Zerg swarmed toward the enemy's position in the east. Boom——

The ground shook, followed by rocks shattering and collapsing, and terrifying and huge Zergs burst out of the ground in an instant, devouring the surrounding enemies.

Taking advantage of the enemy's panic, ten thousand Temple Rangers quickly shuttled through the jungle and accurately fired arrows at the enemy.

In the blink of an eye, a gap was broken out.

"Break out quickly!"

As the order was conveyed, the team quickly passed through the gap and ran down the mountain.

The soldiers blocking the enemy in the east did not even kill the enemy, and they rarely had a chance to fire their guns.

Thousands of soldiers were almost eaten away. Before evacuating, Li ordered some soldiers to fight back with many enemy weapons.

Maybe you can try copying the opponent's weapons.

……

……

Beside a river in Dongshan, Yang Wenlin couldn't help but secretly thought it was a pity when he listened to the battle report.

This was not because his plan was wrong, but because the enemy's methods were too powerful.

There is a classic saying that any conspiracy will turn into powder under the influence of absolute power.

But now that I know it, I will always find a way to deal with it.

However, Yang Wenlin used tactics to forcefully reduce the losses of the two sides to one to one.

How many troops does the empire have?

Does it depend on the number of troops?

No...it depends on the amount of weaponry.

Where are the enemies? If the opponent's elite troops die, they should die.

To him, a one-to-one battle loss meant that their side definitely had the advantage.

This was caused by the opponent's use of fire attack, which was unexpected. Otherwise, it would definitely be more than one to one, and maybe two to one.

After the army retreated, Yang Wenlin held a meeting with the three division commanders who had just arrived.

Outside the military tent, soldiers were standing in a circle, guarding the area so tightly that not even a mouse could get through.

...

"Commander Yang, as the generalissimo meant, you are still the commander-in-chief of this operation, and you have been promoted to the commander of the first main battle army. The troops participating in the siege operation will be classified as the first main battle army. Yes, this is the appointment letter."

A middle-aged man took out a document from his arms and handed it over.

Yang Wenlin took the document and took a look at it. He couldn't help feeling happy, but his face was expressionless and he put down the document calmly.

Seeing this, another division commander said: "The tunnel has been excavated, and the track will be laid behind it. In a few days, two divisions plus an armored brigade should arrive. Then it will be the time to officially launch an attack." ”

Yang Wenlin nodded slightly after hearing this: "The Eighth Division should have fifteen thousand men, including two artillery regiments with very powerful firepower."

"The Ninth Division has 12,000 troops. Although it does not have an artillery unit, your division is most famous for its hand-to-hand combat. All of them are good at close combat and are very physically strong."

"The Tenth Division has 16,000 men. They are all young and strong soldiers. They are very powerful. Everyone is a warrior. Although the firearms they are equipped with have a range of only 120 meters, they have a very large caliber."

The other two division commanders nodded slightly to indicate that they were right.

The commander of the Ninth Division just smiled and said: "Brother Yang's news is a bit behind. Our Ninth Division has now added a reinforced regiment of 3,000 people, equipped with three-bead rifles, and its firepower is far greater than before! "

"Oh? Three consecutive infantry?" Yang Wenlin suddenly asked in surprise.

The commander of the Ninth Division nodded slightly and explained: "This batch of firearms has been produced for a short time. The batch developed the year before last year should have started mass production. Our Ninth Division lacks firepower, so it was given priority to equip our division."

After hearing this, Yang Wenlin nodded slightly with satisfaction: "Yes, just three divisions have a strength of 46,000. When the follow-up troops arrive, the main battle army should be able to gather 100,000 people, and then we can let go to conduct siege warfare.”

"There is one more thing you should remember. The enemy has extraordinary troops. You should be aware of this. After all, I have already passed on the information."

"But one thing, I suspect, is that the enemy has a unit that can stealth information and gather intelligence."

"Is this...really fake?"

"I have been able to confirm it, so you must be careful. Firstly, don't reveal the information easily. Secondly, be careful about the enemy's assassination."

The three division commanders looked at each other in shock, feeling a little worried in their hearts.

"Just increase the number of guards. Don't worry too much. Wait for the follow-up troops to arrive. Recently, we have sent out more scouts to complete the map."

"I understand, Commander Yang."

The meeting lasted more than half an hour.

These 46,000 troops were not stationed together. Instead, they found a river and set up camps beside the river to prevent the enemy from using fire from the air again.

"By the way, division commander, what should we do with the thousands of enemy wounded soldiers left in the valley?"

"Kill them all, why do you still want us to keep them?"

"Yes... I understand."

...

...

Li took the remaining 38,000 troops and evacuated all the way to the foot of the mountain.

This operation resulted in the loss of approximately 10,000 troops.

The enemy's losses should have exceeded 10,000, but not too much.

He ordered the communications troops to convey the details of the battle and the causes and consequences to Nanmu County City, and then stationed the troops at the front foot, waiting for follow-up orders.

...

Nanmu County City, inside the County Sheriff's Mansion.

Qin Yu couldn't help but sigh when he saw the battle situation on the front line that was relayed to him.

"This enemy is really cruel and difficult to deal with."

You hold a piece of paper in your hand about the battle situation. Although there are only numbers written on it, it feels extremely heavy when you read it.

That is a real and vivid life.

And seeing how the enemy gambled with his own life, Qin Yu seemed to see a ruthless chess player.

Perhaps it was worth it to him to exchange the lives of a few people for victory in a war.

But it is extremely unfair to those soldiers who are kept in the dark.

They did not die on the way to the charge and did not receive the glory they deserved. Instead, they died of being betrayed by their own people.

Qin Yu was silent for a moment, knowing in his heart that the gains outweighed the losses by continuing to use troops against Dongshan at this time.

The enemy should already be aware of the existence of the Shadow Guards, so if there is no accurate information later, Qin Yu will not send out any more troops.

"Order Li to lead the army back, and order the Shadow Guards to continue to pay attention to the movements in Dongshan. If the enemy is ready to come out of the mountain, they will immediately pass the information back. At the same time, they will mobilize troops from various cities to rush to the border and always pay attention to the enemy's movements."

"Transport 50% of the meat from various places to Kyoto."

The communications soldier on the side held a pen and quickly recorded every order Qin Yu said.

"Go down and pass on the order just now."

"My subordinate understands."

The communications soldier bowed his hands respectfully, turned and left.

Looking at the back of the communications soldier leaving, Qin Yu fell into deep thought.

The enemy's firearms are not scary, but the scary thing is that the opponent's range is farther than our own.

Except for the attack range of the Daqin Lei Cannon Cart, which can hit the opponent, there are currently no other long-range and wide-range weapons that can pose a threat to the enemy.
