At dawn, you can already see the water droplets on the tips of the green grass on the roadside, and a green torrent converges on the avenue, moving quickly towards the west.?

The guard of Xiaxuan Pass opened the door in person, and Hong Jin, who was wearing a ghost-faced helmet, urged his horse to go outside the pass. The officers and soldiers of the Ninth Army lined up in five neat columns to follow him.
This highway outside the pass leads directly to Huashan County. Now smoke and dust are billowing. The dust raised by the march of the Ninth Army has floated to a height of more than ten meters. People with good eyesight can see it from three to five miles away.
The main camp of the 13th Lindi Division.
Tuwa supervised the transfer of camp defense between the 10th Battalion and the 1st Battalion. He had just planned to go to the cook to get a breakfast. After eating, he went back to the camp tent to relax for a while. The corner of his eye swept over the east, and the sky in the east rose.
A layer of light gray gauze.
This personal soldier of the division commander Fan Xiang naturally understood the recent military situation and knew that Xiaxuan Pass to the east might launch an attack on their military camp. He was not lacking in experience and common sense and could judge that a large group of troops was coming from the east.
"Watch tower, sentry tower, east, pay attention to the enemy situation in the east! Are all the scouts dead? Hurry over and have a look." The soil frog started running in the military camp, shouting loudly as he ran.
"Tu Frog, what are you doing screaming so early in the morning?" Fan Xiang rarely got up early in the morning. When he walked out of the Chinese army tent, he saw Tu Frog running towards him.
"Sir, the enemy is attacking. Please put on your clothes and I will wait for you." Tuwa did not rush to reply to Fan Xiang's words, but ran to Fan Xiang's ear and whispered in his ear.
Shouting that the enemy is attacking this early in the morning can easily cause panic. If the battalion officer cannot suppress it, it may cause the camp to roar, but Tuwa did not make any mistakes in his busy schedule.
"What? Drumming!" Fan Xiang had a clear mind and did not waste time to verify and verify. He decisively asked Tuwa to beat the drums and mobilize the troops. "The scout team went to inquire about the enemy's situation and asked the baggage camp to gather all the kerosene into the middle camp."
Boom, boom, boom, the Shaodian Army camp responsible for blocking the Xiaxuan Pass sounded a rapid drum roll.
Woo hoo hoo, before the officers of each battalion could count the number of people, a short enemy attack horn sounded from the watchtower.
"Report, there are about 20,000 Meng troops in the direction of Xiaxuan Pass and they are moving towards the camp." The scout ran back not long after leaving the camp.
Fan Xiang was neatly dressed and holding a pot of flags in his hands and came to the camp under his general's flags. "Tou Frog, have you released the distress eagle?"
"Already released!" Tu Frog replied with clasped fists.
"Okay, now we have only one road. The main force of the Lindi Second Army is only half a day away from here. The 13th Division must fight to the death to defend the camp. It only takes half a day for everyone to survive.
The first and second battalions were ordered to guard the front camp strictly and not to take a step back without my order.
Order the third and fourth battalions to defend the left camp and retreat and kill!
The fifth and sixth battalions were ordered to take charge of the defense of the right battalion, and the men and battalions were there.
I ordered the 10th Battalion and the baggage battalion to stick to the rear camp, and the others were with me in the middle camp as the general reserve team.
If the enemy is allowed to invade the central camp," Fan Xiang pointed to the fire oil cans piled in the open space and said, "let the fire take us to the Eternal Temple."
The general had made up his mind to fight to the death. The soldiers below did not dare to neglect and quickly entered the defensive position. Those who stayed in the middle camp were also silently wiping their weapons.
As soon as Shaodian's army entered the defensive position, Meng's army launched a fierce attack and charged directly towards the left, front and right battalions.
Fan Xiang climbed up to the watchtower of the middle camp and said in shock: "The Ninth Legion? How did they come so fast? Xiaxuan Pass is at least twenty miles away from here. Did they march overnight?"
"Impossible, sir." The scout captain was standing next to him. "How can they march at night without lighting a fire? If the fire is lit, the hidden sentry I send out at night will definitely be able to detect it."
"Then why can't you see any movement from your secret whistle during the day?" Fan Xiang's nose was almost crooked with anger.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Their scout brigade started raiding at dawn, and the secret sentry had to be withdrawn." The scout captain wished that there was a crack in the ground for him to get through.
"Go away!" Fan Xiang turned around and kicked the scout captain, "Before the enemy forces surround the camp, you and the scout team quickly evacuate to Huashan County and get reinforcements to me as soon as possible."
"But we are outnumbered here. With hundreds of us gone, the camp will be even more empty." The scout captain hesitated.
"Go away, this is an order! With just one wave of attacks, your hundreds of men will be gone. You can't survive even a stick of incense if you stay here. It will be more useful if you can bring reinforcements over quickly." Fan Xiang said to the scout captain.
A command flag.
When Hong Jin arrived with the main force of the Ninth Army, it was already dark, and the commanders of the Eighty-first and Eighty-second Divisions hurriedly came to pay their respects.
"What? Haven't you won it yet?" Hong Jin said calmly with a ghostly face.
"Sir, the local army of Shaodian Kingdom is very tenacious. We broke through the outer camp wall several times but were driven out by their counterattack. I estimate that they will not give up resistance until the casualties reach 70%." Eighty
The commander of the first division replied.
"Eighty-fifth, Eighty-sixth and Eighty-seventh Divisions, you all come together. You must defeat the camp within an hour." Hong Jin looked at the sky and decided that he could not delay it any longer.
"Yes!" The five division commanders clasped their fists together and accepted the order.
The 13th Lindi Division was originally a local army, and its combat effectiveness was lagging behind that of the regular army. Now they were fighting against a force five times their own, and they would soon be unable to hold on any longer.
Boom, there was a loud bang, and there was a big explosion in the Shaodian military camp. The monstrous fire swept through the entire camp in an instant, and a large group of Meng soldiers who had stormed in were reduced to ashes.
"How can a local army be so strong? We occupied two and a half counties and did not wantonly massacre the captured officers and soldiers or the local people. Why didn't even one surrender?" Hong Jin frowned. No one noticed because of his mask.
.
This question was not answered by Hong Jin. He didn't know that this local division was basically composed of the Fan family's private army. As the top ten dukes of the Shaodian Kingdom, the Fan family would not let their own people become prisoners.
The disgraced commander of the 81st Division came back to pay the order. He was about to report the results of the battle to Hong Jin, but Hong Jin raised his hand to stop him.
"No need to talk nonsense. The enemy's rescue force is definitely on the way. If I get entangled by them, I won't be able to do anything. Since He Lianyu gave me such a military order, why don't the Ninth Army behave well?
Maybe we will be promoted to an elite army sometime.
The 81st Division collected the wounded and our dead bodies, and hurriedly withdrew to Xiaxuan Pass before the arrival of enemy reinforcements, and assisted in guarding the pass; other troops followed me to take a good tour of Huashan County, where even our 'female general' was missing.
I've been there a few times." After saying that, Hong Jin urged his horse to run towards the northwest.
Nanzhao Prefecture Theater Base Camp Headquarters.
"What? The Ninth Meng Army is attacking the Xiaxuan Pass guarding the camp?" Jiang Zhi was shocked when he received the information.
