Chapter 713 Borrowing a knife to kill
In the wilderness in the western part of De'an Province, the sound of horns sounded in the twilight, and countless sharp blades appeared on the distant horizon in the sunset.
"What is that?" In the camp of the rebel army, ragged and exhausted soldiers of the rebel army stood on tiptoe and looked at the dark shadows on the horizon in the distance.
Above the sentry tower more than ten meters high, the guards looked into the distance with their hands, and soon saw the black shadows surging forward in the distance. It was the dense Hanhai army, and the sentry's face turned pale.
"Bangbangbangbangbang--"
The sentry sounded the alarm bell hanging on the whistle with force, and a harsh sound came out from afar. The soldiers of the uprising army who were packing their luggage to break through stopped moving and stood up straight, not knowing what had happened.
They fought bloody battles with Hanhai troops in De'an Province for nearly two months. Most of them set up formations in the early morning to start the war and returned to the camp at night, which has become a routine.
The daytime battle has ended today. The rebel army lost more than 20,000 people, and the troops that went to fight suffered heavy losses. According to the principle, a new round of fighting will not begin the next day, but now it is almost dark, why does the alarm bell sound?
The commander of the Far Eastern Uprising Army also based on this practice that he thought to take advantage of the cover of night to evacuate the camp in the early morning and lead the army to break westward. However, he did not expect that the Hanhai army also launched a general attack first.
After nearly two months of fierce battle, the Far East Uprising Army retreated from the easternmost side of De'an Province to the westernmost side, and retreated for hundreds of miles, but it still did not collapse and maintained its combat power.
However, Marshal Simon of the Hanhai Empire has seen from the battles in recent days that the strength of the rebel army has been declining sharply, and his morale is even more sluggish. Therefore, it is judged that the rebel army has reached the end of its strength, so it is quick to launch a general attack.
It has to be said that Marshal Simon is a very cautious person. Although he has a powerful Hanhai army and can start a decisive battle two months ago, he still advances steadily and does not risk a decisive battle when the uprising army is in full swing. Instead, he chooses to strike with a thunder when the uprising army is weak.
It was Marshal Simon's steady attitude that dragged down the huge rebel army. You should know that the large number of people needed to consume a lot of rations. Marshal Simon sent cavalry to continuously harasse the supply line of the rebel army and completely cut off the logistics supply of the rebel army a week ago.
The rebel army, which had lost its logistics supplies, still looked bloated, but for the Hanhai army they had become a mess, and the threat to the Hanhai army was decreasing.
Of course, the purpose of the Hanhai Army was not to drag down the rebel army. Their goal was to completely annihilate and thus re-incorporate the entire Far East into the control of the Hanhai Empire's power.
If the rebels break out, hide in the mountainous areas and swamps in the Far East, and get logistical supplies, it will be another major hidden danger for the Hanhai Empire and may make a comeback.
Therefore, when the rebel army was about to be dragged down, Marshal Simon prepared a thunder strike to completely annihilate the rebel army with huge forces and achieve the goal of eliminating the enemy's live power.
"The Hanhai people are fighting here! The Hanhai people are fighting here!" The scouts of the rebel army rode fast horses and galloped through the camp and headed straight for the central army's tent.
Commander Zhao Yun was shocked when he heard that the Hanhai army had come. He did not expect that the Hanhai people would come so quickly. Could it be that the news of the entire army breaking through was leaked?
But now there is no time to investigate whether it has been leaked. Since the Hanhai army launched a general attack, it must be the entire army to be under pressure. With the current exhausted state of the rebel army, it is impossible to block it.
Zhao Yun quickly decided to break through immediately and could not stop for a moment, otherwise they would be wiped out.
It is very difficult to successfully break out under the noses of the elite Hanhai army. Someone must stop the Hanhai army and cover the main force to break out.
Zhao Yun gritted his teeth and prepared to send troops not his own line to resist the Hanhai army, while he led the elite troops of the rebel army to evacuate. Such sacrifice was also a helpless move, but now he wanted to survive, so many people could not be cared about.
"Tell me the order, let the third, eighth, eleventh, and fifteenth Corps immediately deploy defenses to the east, and be sure to block the attack of the Hanhai people and be sure to defend the camp."
"The other flag groups gathered immediately, and when the fight started in the east, they immediately broke through to the west!"
Zhao Yun's order was equivalent to treating the four corpses that went to the east to set up defense as abandoned sons, but the military tent was full of his direct generals, and they were silent. As long as they were not going to die, they would not bother to say anything.
The messengers ran back and forth in the camp and conveyed the orders. The soldiers of the rebel army began to gather quickly. The third, eighth, eleventh and fifteenth corps gathered more than 100,000 people immediately headed to the front line in the east to prepare to fight the attack of the Hanhai army. They did not know that they had become abandoned sons.
The Hanhai soldiers appeared on the periphery of the rebel camp with the sound of high horns. One steel square after another was covered with wilderness. Looking around, the sword light and armor reflected.
Marshal Simon stood on a high slope, surrounded by the warriors of the sea, overlooking the rebel camp. Seeing the rebel soldiers' panic deployment, a sharp flashed across the corner of his mouth.
"General Liu Wenwu." Marshal Simon spoke.
Liu Wenwu, the commander of the 20th Army, responded and stepped out: "The last general is here."
"I'll leave this first battle to your 20th Army, don't let me down."
Although Liu Wenwu knew that Marshal Simon wanted to kill people with a knife and wanted to weaken the strength of their 20th Army, they were servants, and the Hanhai people no longer trusted them so much, especially after the great uprising broke out in the Far East.
Although they knew what the Hanhai people thought, Liu Wenwu people had to bow their heads under the roof and had to accept such orders, otherwise their 20th Army would definitely not be able to survive.
"Our 20th Army will definitely break through the enemy camps! Make contributions to the empire!" Liu Wenwu slapped his chest and took the order loudly.
"Go, I hope to hear the good news within three hours." Marshal Simon nodded slightly.
Liu Wenwu's face muscles twitched slightly. He wanted to take a ruthless attack on their 20th Army. Although their 20th Army were all from Far East, they also made great contributions to the Hanhai people. However, he did not expect that the Hanhai people would treat them like this.
However, now hundreds of thousands of elite troops in the Hanhai are on the side. Even if Liu Wenwu wants to play any tricks and disobey the sun, he believes that in a few minutes, they will be destroyed by the Hanhai army like those rebels.
Brothers, I'm sorry, Liu Wenwu sighed in his heart. The Hanhai people wanted to weaken the strength of their 20th Army. As the commander, he knew it well, but for his own glory and wealth, he could only sacrifice his brothers below.
"Master Marshal, it doesn't take three hours, one hour is enough!" After Liu Wenwu finished speaking, he rode back to his headquarters.
"This dog is really obedient." General Hanhai teased when he saw Liu Wenwu's back.
Marshal Simon showed a faint smile on his face. He originally wanted to eliminate the entire 20th Army. After all, although the 20th Army belonged to their battle sequence, it was not a Hanhai person after all. As the saying goes, it is not my race, and his heart must be different. However, seeing Liu Wenwu is so obedient and sensible, he changed his mind. It is also good to raise a watchdog. (To be continued)
