Chapter 110: The scouts fought fiercely
August 5th, the first sunshine.
The defense line of Donghuang Town is being strengthened in full swing. Lin Chuan's troops have gathered up to 30,000, but these soldiers are now depressed and will not look at fighting again.
In the combat conference room, Lin Chuan convened all the flag battalion commanders and above officers in Donghuang Town.
Compared to the flags and high morale when Mucheng set off, the conference room seemed a little deserted at this moment.
Lin Chuan straightforwardly analyzed the current form: "Now we can only defend Donghuang Town to give the consul Katun enough time to gather troops from all over the country, but more than 100,000 dynasties are coming in full force, so everyone, we have a lot of courage on our shoulders."
"Sir, you say you're going to fight like this, we'll all listen to you." An officer stood up and said.
A group of Lin Chuan's confidant generals also agreed: "We should obey the orders of the Lord."
The commander of the First Corps in Donghuang Town, Lin Chuan, has the highest military rank, so he temporarily serves as the temporary commander.
Lin Chuan nodded, "I, Lin Chuan, thank you for your kindness. Now that the enemy is in front of me, I am disrespectful and responsible for the defense of the Eastern Wilderness and blocking the dynasty army."
Now the general is missing, and the consul Katun is still collecting military food and supplies in Mucheng a hundred miles away. Although there are several banner commanders gathered in Donghuang Town, they are all at the same level and no one is convinced by anyone. Only Lin Chuan is admired by them, and Lin Chuan is also in a high position.
Lin Chuan knew in his heart that this was not the time to refuse, so he did not delay and served as the interim supreme commander.
After becoming the supreme commander, Lin Chuan's first order was to move the defense line forward.
Although Donghuang Town is stuck between two mountains and looks easy to defend but difficult to attack, Donghuang Town is not a fortress. The city wall is already low, and the previous competition was even more destructive. Although it can be used after emergency repairs, it is still a bit far-fetched to withstand more than 100,000 elite dynasty troops.
If Donghuang Town cannot stop it, then after passing Donghuang Town, it will be flat until Mucheng. Facing the dynasty army with many cavalry troops, you can reach Mucheng within one day, and you will be defeated by then.
"Steel Feather--"
"The last one will be here." Gangyu, the commander of the 10th Banner Regiment, responded with a hint of excitement on his face.
Lin Chuan pointed to a small hill that was bulging on the map and ordered: "Take your troops to occupy this place for me, and keep it tightly like a nail."
"Don't worry, sir, as long as I'm still alive, I will never let the dynasty army take a step here!" A fierce light flashed in Gangyu's eyes, and he promised loudly.
Later, it turned out that Gangyu did make his promise. The 8,000 remaining soldiers of the 10th Banner Regiment fought for ten days, and in the end, the dynasty army did not allow the dynasty army to occupy the position.
Except for the 8,000 soldiers of the 30,000 Xingtu were taken away by Gangyu, the remaining troops were deployed layer by layer, and the entire Donghuang Town defense line was extremely strong by Lin Chuan.
While Lin Chuan was dispatching troops, more than 100,000 dynasty troops commanded by Lan Yu were coming towards Donghuang Town. Wherever the huge troops passed, the village fields turned into ruins.
On a small hill named Qinggangling, the 10th Banner Regiment led by Gangyu had already entered. All the trees in the mountains were flattened, and the wooden stakes were deeply penetrated into the soil. The outer edge was a deep trench trap. It has to be said that Xing Tujun was very efficient. Soon a solid camp was quickly erected.
Although the main forces of both sides are still half a day away, the scouts Qingqi of both sides have already begun a fierce battle. In the empty fields, wild wolves bit the dead scouts Qingqi's body and enjoy such a delicious meal.
Among the half-man-high weeds, five Xing Tu scouts in black uniforms were riding on the war horses. They looked alert, holding the sword in their sleeping hands, looking around, and the war horses stomped their steps slowly forward.
"Ten people long, look--" The ten scouts looked in the direction of the scout's fingers. Among the weeds, several corpses in black military uniforms were being bitten by wild wolves. Seeing someone coming, the wild wolves stopped eating, and their green eyes stared at this side.
When the ten-person leader saw the dead colleague's body, he hurriedly made a gesture, and said with a tense expression on his face, "Be careful!"
The remaining four scouts all pulled out the swords at their waists and looked around vigilantly.
This is the battlefield where scouts on both sides fight, and if you are not careful, you will end up dead.
Except for the breeze blowing through the weeds, there was nothing unusual around it. The wild wolf gnawing at the corpse made a whimper and squirted into the weeds and disappeared.
"Wang Bai, Mr. Liu, go and have a look." After confirming the safety of the surrounding area, ten people ordered two scouts to go and investigate.
The two scouts who were called to the name quickly turned over and dismounted, holding the sword and walking towards the corpse quickly.
The body of the Xing Tujun scout, Qingqi, and the war horses were gone. The five bodies had been gnawed by wild wolves and could not recognize their original faces. It was obvious that they had encountered powerful opponents, and they were all fatal.
"These bitches are raised, I will definitely kill a few more next time I meet them!"
Every day, people on both sides die at the hands of the other scouts. The hatred has accumulated and they all want to kill each other, so the scouts must be a tragic battle.
"Be careful!" Suddenly, a scout saw the sword with a cold light flashing in the weeds and hurriedly shouted the warning.
Puff! Before the sound of Xing Tu's scout's words fell, a sharp arrow had already shot through his throat. He covered his throat in pain, trying to stop the blood donation, but everything was in vain. He fell to the ground unwillingly.
Another scout who heard the warning was quick to react. He rolled on the spot and avoided the arrows coming from the ***. Several dynasty scouts in red uniforms in the weeds had already jumped and rushed over.
"Miscellaneous!" The ten heads of alert from afar saw the scouts on his side fall to the ground, cursed angrily, and urged the horse to run over.
"Don't come here! Run, they are the Black Wolf Scouts--" Another Xing Tujun Scouts suddenly shouted at the long ten people.
"Puchi!" A huge head flew out and rolled into the grass, dripping blood.
"Herod's Lyric--" The ten people also saw their enemies clearly at this moment. Four black wolf scouts with fierce light in the mountains in their eyes, hurriedly stopped the war horse, turned around and fled.
The Black Wolf Scout, the most elite force in the dynasty army, was brave and good at fighting, quick-witted, and what was even more terrifying was that as long as the people they targeted were all turned into dead bodies.
Ten people urged the war horses to run wildly, breathing a little rapid. The other two scouts also ran towards the way they came. Facing the elite Black Wolf Scout, Scout Xing Tu had no chance of winning, so they had to escape.
A black wolf scout appeared here. This was a major information. Ten people were in urgent need of sending it out now.
However, since the Black Wolf Scout, as an elite dynasty army, would naturally not let this small group of Xingtu scouts easily go. Soon, the sound of horse hooves behind him sounded, and four Black Wolf Scouts chased after him.
Compared with the inferior horses of the scout Xing Tu, the war horses of the black wolf scout of the Dynasty army were particularly tall and handsome, and they ran faster, so it was only a matter of time before they were caught up.
"Ten people, you must bring the information back! Avenge us-" The loud shouts of two other scouts came from behind the ten people.
He turned around and looked at the two Xing Tu scouts who had turned their horses and killed them against the Black Wolf Scouts. They were delaying time, and the moment they turned around, they were doomed to die.
"Fighting—!" The eyes of ten people were filled with tears, and they gritted their teeth and beat the war horses, quickly leaving. He wanted to send the information back.
Their scouts fought together for many years and had long been in love with each other. At this moment, they watched their comrades die, but they were powerless...
