After returning to the military camp, Long Aotian rushed directly to the training ground. He had already called Grete back to inform everyone to gather at the training ground.
After arriving at the training ground, all the soldiers of the 3000th Cavalry were already gathered here. After Long Aotian arrived, he only said one sentence: "The war has begun. Now go back and pack your bags and get ready to go."
After hearing this, all the soldiers present knew what was going on, and there were no complaints. Everyone quickly ran towards their residences after Long Aotian announced the disbandment, but everyone's mood was
Heavy, they knew that after this visit, many people might not have the chance to return to this familiar place.
They know that as a forward battalion, they suffer the most serious casualties in every war!
Seeing the backs of everyone, Long Aotian's mood was extremely complicated. After all, the fate of his departure was unpredictable. How many of the people he took out could follow him back here? He couldn't guarantee it! War is ruthless.
As soldiers, they must be prepared to sacrifice, and they must have the responsibility to serve the country.
After sighing, he quickly returned to his military camp, took out several sets of military uniforms, armors and some necessary things and stuffed them into his ring. Then he took a few more military books and put them into the ring.
Inside!
Looking at his ring, Long Aotian couldn't help but sigh: "Taxue, when will you wake up?"
Stroking his ring, Long Aotian thought of his former companions who fought with him in the World of Warcraft Forest.
However, there was still no reaction in the ring. Long Aotian knew that his idea could not be realized now.
After inspecting his room and seeing that nothing was missing, Long Aotian walked towards the training ground. When he arrived at the training ground, there was still no one there.
Slowly, people began to arrive one after another. The first one to come was naturally Gretel, followed by Link, and then Landry. About half an hour later, Qian
The soldiers inside the cavalry were already arriving one after another.
After another quarter of an hour, Long Aotian announced the team's punishment. They would first gather at the division training ground and then gather at the legion.
When he led everyone to the division's main training ground, a lot of people had already gathered in the camp. They found their positions and stood in. Long Aotian and the others quietly waited for Oakridge's arrival.
About two-quarters of an hour later, Oakridge walked up to the front desk, looked at the soldiers of the forward battalion who had gathered underground, and glanced at them deeply: "Everyone must know that you are going out this time.
What are you going to do? Yes, you are going to fight. You are going to fight for the empire, for the people, and for our legion. This time your commander will be Xinchina, who will be in charge of our forward battalion.
Supreme Commander! I won’t say much else. I hope you won’t disgrace our forward battalion when you go out! Finally, I wish everyone a smooth expedition and hope everyone returns safely!”
But, to be honest, he himself was so unconfident when he said that he wished everyone a safe return. He didn't know how many people would actually return safely in the end!
"I won't say much else. Remember, our mission is enough. Let's set off now!"
Following Xinchina's order, everyone quickly walked towards the legion.
It was nearly two hours after gathering at the legion's training ground.
Looking at the people in the audience, Emmano, who saw them off in front of the stage, and everyone drank a glass of farewell wine before letting them set off.
At this moment, the 150,000-strong army marched towards Baoji City.
As the army going on this expedition, except for its own light cavalry and heavy cavalry, which have horses to ride, no officer above a thousand cavalry commander has a group of horses to ride on. Long Aotian, as a thousand cavalry commander, naturally got it.
A horse. From today on, this horse can be said to belong to Long Aotian, because every Qianqi Commander has the right to own a mount, but everyone usually does not ride it.
So it was always kept in the stable.
Looking at the snow-white horse in front of him, Long Aotian tidied his mane carefully and then jumped up and sat on its back: "Let's go!" Following Long Aotian's order, the third thousand
The soldiers on horseback set off slowly, following the soldiers in front.
"Everyone, please hurry up. The people over there in Baoji City are waiting for us." Seeing the soldiers behind him, Knowlton ordered everyone to speed up. After all, the situation there is very tense. If they can
The earlier you arrive, the safer you will be. They can't afford to delay.
After hearing the order, everyone immediately accelerated and rushed forward. It takes about an hour to reach Baoji City from here!
Fortunately, this section of the journey was not difficult to walk. After a period of hurrying, everyone finally arrived at the first border city! Baoji City, known as the second most dangerous city in the empire. Looking at the city in front of him, Long Aotian
I couldn't help but sigh to myself that Baoji City was indeed a natural danger for the empire. The city was more than ten feet high, and the wide and tall city walls formed a huge barrier blocking the entire valley.
"Who is coming?" The city guards of Baoji City here couldn't help but asked nervously when they saw such a large group of soldiers arriving from behind.
"Xuanwu Legion soldiers led by Knowlton of the Xuanwu Legion are here to help! Open the door quickly!"
Upon hearing the questions from the people on the city, Knowlton shouted to the people on the city. At the same time, he ordered his guards to take out their tokens and go to the city to show them to the guards above.
"Open the door immediately. General Knowlton will bring people to support you."
After seeing the token, the guard on the city shouted loudly to the people below, and also shouted excitedly to the people around him.
Hearing his shout, the soldiers around him suddenly showed an excited expression on their faces.
"See General."
As soon as the city gate opened, a group of soldiers ran out and knelt in front of Knowlton.
"How's the fighting at the front gate going?"
Knowlton asked hurriedly when he saw the person coming.
"Sir, there is a truce at Qianmen. Not long after we retreated here at noon, the Japanese army followed us. They attacked our city twice relying on their large number of people. But although we have a small number of people, we
With the advantage of Baoji City, we still defended it. After a few times, the Japanese knew that they were not easy to capture yet, so they camped not far away from us, apparently waiting for their reinforcements."
After hearing the soldiers' report and knowing that they had arrived not too late, Knowlton and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"The men from the forward battalion followed me into the city to defend, and the infantry of the First Division also followed. The rest of the soldiers camped on the spot and waited for orders." After thinking for a moment, Knowlton issued the first order. After all, there was not much space in the city.
There is still no room for their 150,000-strong army, so all they can do now is to lead the forward battalion and infantry into the city to the front gate to assist in the defense.
After receiving the order, the soldiers of the Forward Battalion and the soldiers of the First Division immediately followed Knowlton and slowly walked towards the city. At this time, the division commander of the First Division stationed here also came out to greet him. He had been there earlier.
At that time, he arrived with the troops who came first. When he saw Knowlton and others, he quickly took them to the wall in front of the city.
"The soldiers of the forward battalion camp on the spot, and the infantry will follow me to the city!" After arriving here, Knowlton issued another order. The reason why he asked the soldiers of the forward battalion to be stationed under the city is very simple, that is, if necessary, the soldiers of the forward battalion will be stationed under the city.
Soldiers can go out of the city to fight at any time, and if the city needs it, they can also go up to the city wall to assist in the defense at any time.
After tying up the soldiers, Knowlton said to everyone: "In a quarter of an hour, all the thousand cavalry commanders will come to the commander's camp for a meeting. He must make arrangements for the next war." "Okay, everyone."
Are you all here? Then let's start the meeting!" A quarter of an hour after arriving at the barracks, Knowlton looked at the officer present and said. At this moment, all the officers here had gathered in the small camp, a total of two people.
There are more than a hundred people, these people are densely packed in this commander's camp. As the Qianqi Commander, Long Aotian is also standing at the very side close to the wall. He has no place. Don't mention him, he is the battalion commander.
There is also no place! Because today there are already 190,000 Xuanwu Legion troops gathered here, and only 19 division commanders, several division commanders, Knowlton and two adjutants still have places.
"Everyone is relatively clear about the current situation. We have already gathered an army of 190,000 people here. If nothing happens, we will have no problem defending the city. The most important thing now is how to repel them. In this way
Being surrounded by them all the time is not a problem, let’s first let Captain Will explain the current situation to us!”
After speaking, Knowlton turned his attention to Will, the commander of the First Division next to him.
Seeing that everyone noticed him, Will thought for a while and then said: "The current situation is that we have temporarily stabilized our position. There are still 100,000 enemy troops outside. The number of soldiers they lost in the morning when we fought with them is now about
There are still more than 90,000 people. In a while, they will have 200,000 reinforcements coming. As for whether there are other armies, we don’t know yet. We can’t let them block our front. No matter what, the front is our country.
In this way, we can't just let them occupy it, and if we don't attack and let them surround us, it's not the same as being too passive in defense!"
After roughly speaking about the comparison of military strength between the two sides and the current situation, everyone became quiet.
