In December 1985, the 14th Army of Hanhai, led by General Cao Ge, detoured from the north and appeared fifty miles north of Hezhong City. The Hezhong defense line was in danger.&1t;/p>

In the temporary command of the Nanchuan Army in Hezhongcheng, Lin Chuan, dressed in military uniform, sat behind the mahogany table, holding the latest information of the scout in his hand and frowned.&1t;/p>

Lin Chuan led the first and second field army of Nanchuan to carry the westward army of Hanhai on the front line of Hezhongcheng. The two sides fought countless times a day, but the Nanchuan army still stopped the Hanhai army. It took him a week, and the Hanhai people could not save the slightest.&1t;/p>

The five cavalry divisions of the 7th Army of Hanhai tried to detour from the north to encircle Hezhong City, because the existence of Raven Ridge was also blocked tightly. Lin Chuan believed that as long as he persisted for another week and waited for the additional recruits from the rear to arrive, he would have enough strength to guard this line of defense.&1t;/p>

But it is obvious that the plan is not as good as change. The 14th Army of Hanhai suddenly appeared fifty miles north of Hezhong City to disrupt Lin Chuan's overall plan. Facing the 100,000 Hanhai brigade under Cao Ge, the Nanchuan army arranged in the north only had the 16th Banner Regiment, the third and fifth three Banner Regiment. Even if the Nanchuan Army is brave and good at fighting, it would be impossible for more than 20,000 remaining soldiers to block the 100,000 elite soldiers from the north.&1t;/p>

Lin Chuan was even more worried about the chain reaction caused by this incident. In addition to the 300,000 subordinates of Hanhai's advance army, the Hanhai Army, which is now facing direct resistance, also has the 8th Cavalry Army of Hanhai. Originally, the two sides had a huge gap in strength, and the Nanchuan Army was under great pressure. Now that the 14th Army has joined, it undoubtedly broke the current balanced situation, and the Nanchuan Army will fall into a comprehensive passive situation.&1t;/p>

"How is the situation on the front line?" Lin Chuan rubbed his tired temples and asked Xue Wen, the chief of staff sitting opposite him.&1t;/p>

Chief of staff Xue Wen also frowned: "I went to the defense lines of several corps on the front line to see. The situation was not optimistic. We suffered a lot of losses. Many flag battalions only had less than one thousand-man team..."&1t;/p>

Lin Chuan continued to ask: "What about the morale of the soldiers?"&1t;/p>

"The morale of the soldiers is high, but the power gap between the enemy and us is too great, and courage cannot make up for the huge gap."&1t;/p>

"Young Marshal, now the 14th Army of the Hanhai has attacked our north, and we may face the danger of being surrounded at any time. Let's make a decision early." Chief of Staff Xue Wen reminded Lin Chuan.&1t;/p>

Lin Chuan nodded: "I know, let me think about this matter, you can go and do it first."&1t;/p>

Chief of staff Xue Wen sighed, shook his head helplessly, and walked out.&1t;/p>

Lin Chuan led the two legions to spend a lot of manpower and material resources, and lost countless soldiers in the Hezhong City defense line. Now if you give up, you will give up. No one will be willing to give up. Besides, if you evacuate from Hezhong City, the next battle will be in the Nanchuan Province. However, if you do not evacuate, they will face the danger of destruction.&1t;/p>

Just when Lin Chuan was struggling to withdraw the entire Hezhong defense line, the 14th Army of Hanhai was pounced towards Hezhong City on the north side of Hezhong City.&1t;/p>

"Hurry! Speed ​​up!" The road leading to Hezhong City was hustle and bustle. Countless soldiers and horses were rushing towards Hezhong City. The burning torches formed an endless fire dragon in the dark, with majestic momentum.&1t;/p>

"General, on our left is Raven Ridge. I heard that the Nanchuan Army is resisting. Do you need to send someone to deal with them?" In the darkness, a general rode his horse to catch up with the commander of the 14th Army surrounded by generals. Asked by Cao Gelangsheng.&1t;/p>

General Cao Galle held the war horse and looked up to the left. There were undulating mountains in the distance in the darkness, and there were fires on the top of the mountain, which was Raven Ridge.&1t;/p>

"Where is Du Fei?" Cao Ge asked.&1t;/p>

The general replied: "Reporting to the general, the scouts reported that Chief Du led five cavalry divisions to be blocked in the Raven Town on the west side of the Raven Ridge, and his son Du Chong's division commander died on the Raven Ridge..."&1t;/p>

Cao Geluo thought about it and ordered: "Since that's the case, let us not get involved in this matter. Let Du Fei deal with it by himself. He ordered the entire army to advance. He must attack Hezhongcheng before dawn. Our 14th Army will be the first unit to enter Hezhongcheng!"&1t;/p>

"No!" The general responded with a loud promise, and the torch in the darkness pounced on the river city southward.&1t;/p>

"My goodness, how many soldiers do you need!" Standing on Raven Ridge, the army crossed the east side of Raven Ridge, and saw the torch that could not be forgotten, Chu Ming was shocked.&1t;/p>

"Sir, Hanhai people are heading towards the city of Hezhong, the young marshal is in danger." Zhao Wenjing, the chief of the flag, looked at the long dragon of torches outside the mountains and looked solemn.&1t;/p>

Chu Ming naturally knew that there was danger in Hezhong City. So many Hanhai troops rushed towards Hezhong City, and the defense line in Hezhong would definitely not be able to defend.&1t;/p>

Although he knew that the defense line in Hezhong was in danger, Chu Ming was extremely depressed when he looked at the only little soldiers in his hand. What could he do?&1t;/p>

"Sir, let's retreat too. Now Hezhong City is facing two sides of attack, so it's no point for us to defend here. If we retreat too late and the Hanhai people attack, we will be finished." Zhao Wenjing reminded Chu Ming.&1t;/p>

"Tell me the order, and the entire army will withdraw in ten minutes." At this moment, the appearance of Cao Ge's army made Chu Ming realize that it was meaningless to defend Raven Ridge, so he issued an order to retreat without hesitation.&1t;/p>

The Sixteenth Banner Regiment held Raven Ridge for several days, and countless soldiers were killed. Seeing that they were about to evacuate here, countless people burst into tears. Under the urging of the officers, the soldiers evacuated overnight along the hillside on the east side.&1t;/p>

When the army led by Du Fei rushed to the Raven Ridge with a scream the next day, there was no living person except the corpses on the ground. The soldiers led by Chu Ming had already evacuated westward.&1t;/p>

Now the Hezhong City is like a huge magnet, constantly attracting Hanhai troops from the surrounding areas to attack. The two sides broke out a series of battles around the Hezhong City, but as time goes by, the Nanchuan Army is under increasing pressure.&1t;/p>

In view of the dangerous situation in Hezhongcheng, the Sixteen Banners regiment led by Chu Ming followed Cao Ge's army and went to Hezhongcheng to reinforce the Nanchuan Army troops where they still stood.&1t;/p>

"Sir, there was a battle ahead!" Chu Ming and Zhao Wenjing joined forces and kept moving south quickly, trying to rush to the round with Lin Chuan. After walking more than ten miles, the scout ahead ran back to report.&1t;/p>

"The defense zone of our Third Flag Regiment is ahead." Zhao Wenjing from the Third Flag Regiment was very worried about his troops, after all, they were blocking the way forward for the Hanhai people.&1t;/p>

Soon they arrived at the battlefield. The battlefield within a radius of six or seven miles was densely covered with corpses. Breaked swords were scattered everywhere, stained with blood. The black military flag of the Third Flag Regiment was burned by the war and stood crookedly in the cold wind.&1t;/p>

"Sir! Sir!" Zhao Wenjing from the Third Flag Regiment led more than a thousand soldiers from the Third Flag Regiment to search on the battlefield, and his voice was choking, but there was no living person except the corpses all over the ground. Seeing the once familiar companions turned into cold corpses, the soldiers from the Third Flag Regiment were full of tears, Zhao Wenjing even hugged the incomplete corpse of the Third Flag Regiment and cried loudly.&1t;/p>

"Brother, let's be sad." Looking at Zhao Wenjing, who was sad, patted his shoulder to show comfort. Chu Ming was also in a heavy mood. The 10,000 soldiers of the Third Banner Regiment, now, except for more than a thousand people under Zhao Wenjing's command, survived because of reinforcements to his Raven Ridge, the rest have all died here.&1t;/p>
