Up to this moment, the fire in their barracks has been almost put out, but the most important part - the granary has not been put out yet. The reason is very simple. There is too much food in it, and it is too late to stifle it.
When the fire was put out, the fire increased again. This situation lasted for more than an hour. Long Aotian and others had retreated back to Baoji City, but their food was still being mercilessly devoured by the fire. In this way
It was almost completely burned out. The night was still brightly illuminated by the fire.
After leaving the gate of Baoji City, the Xuanwu Legion's army drove directly towards the enemy's military camp.
The sound of horse hooves and footsteps coming from the ground made the Japanese soldiers feel something was wrong!
"The people from the Shenlong Empire are attacking! The people from the Shenlong Empire are coming?????????" At this time, a Japanese soldier ran in from outside the military camp and shouted loudly in the military camp.
It doesn't matter if you don't scream, this sleep immediately caused chaos in the scene. Once they heard that the Shenlong Empire's team was attacking, the soldiers here stopped caring about putting out the fire and began to flee in all directions. Some soldiers were even planning to run away.
.
After beheading a soldier who ran away from him, Ichiro Matsui shouted at all the people with a dark face: "Set up your team immediately and prepare to meet the enemy. If you run away again, you will be punished with death!"
"
Originally, Matsui Ichiro was very angry today when he saw that the granary he had carefully hidden was burned down. In addition, the trap he had painstakingly designed was broken by Long Aotian.
There is no place to vent his anger. At this time, he encountered the Xuanwu Legion's attack at this juncture. He has one head and two heads. At this moment, seeing his soldiers running around in a mess, looking like they are about to escape, he feels useless.
, as the first general of the Japanese country, when had he ever encountered such a situation? When he saw several escaping soldiers around him, he was immediately aroused and angered and chopped them off with a sword.
A loud shout immediately resounded throughout the military camp, and all the soldiers suddenly became quiet when they saw the soldier who was chopped into two pieces by Matsui Ichiro.
Under the leadership of their officers, everyone quickly formed a team and ran towards the outside of the military camp, because at this time, the soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion had already arrived in front of their military camp.
As soon as they left the military camp, the two armies immediately started fighting. The soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion took advantage of the enemy's low morale and the chaos of the team. Coupled with their high morale and sufficient preparations, they immediately rushed into the enemy's interior.
When the two armies fought, the Xuanwu Legion immediately gained a comprehensive and suppressive advantage, and they took advantage of the situation to massacre the enemy!
Yes, it was a naked massacre, and the enemy had no chance to fight back.
Seeing the defeat on his side, Matsui Ichiro couldn't help but feel angry, but what could be done? If this continued, defeat was inevitable, and he alone could not save it.
"Get ready to retreat, quickly order our people to retreat!"
After seeing the one-sided situation, Matsui Ichiro roared at the officers around him.
Seeing that Matsui Ichiro was angry and that they themselves wanted to retreat, after hearing the order, the soldiers around them immediately blew the retreat horn.
After piercing a soldier of the Xuanwu Legion next to him with a sword, under the leadership of Ichiro Matsui, the armies of the Japanese Kingdom and the Makilan Kingdom began to slowly retreat into the distance. It was obvious that they had made up their minds to abandon this camp. They must now
Evacuate this terrifying area as quickly as possible and remove the encirclement of the Xuanwu Legion.
Seeing that the enemy was preparing to evacuate, Knowlton naturally did not want to give up this good opportunity and immediately issued an order to pursue.
On one side, the armies of the Japanese Kingdom and the Makilan Kingdom were constantly retreating and escaping, and on the other side, the Xuanwu Legion was in hot pursuit. The scene formed a strange situation - every soldier of the Xuanwu Legion was howling.
They rushed down to the enemy's rear and killed those who were running slowly. On the other hand, the soldiers of the Japanese Kingdom and the soldiers of the Eastern Kingdom of Makilan saw that they had fallen behind and ran forward while crying.
The scene was filled with cries and curses.
"Grandma, let me see where you bunch of turtles can go."
"Ya-Ya, you trash, go to hell, grandpa will send you to the West today."
"Woooooooooo?????? I don't dare anymore, I surrender, don't kill me, I surrender!"
"Yaya, you still want to surrender. There is no window, let alone a door. You should die!"
?????????Screams and curses like this filled the battlefield.
The soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion here are getting more and more energetic as they kill, and the more they kill, the more excited they become. And the soldiers of the Japanese Kingdom and the Makilan Kingdom over there are also showing the horror of people's desire to survive at this moment. They just run so fast that Xuanwu
The legionnaires were also panting after them.
This scene lasted for more than an hour. Everyone couldn't run anymore but kept on walking and chasing. Under such circumstances, after scattering a large number of enemy corpses along the way, the soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion drove the enemy back to the border.
The small town they occupied some time ago has just come to a standstill.
Looking at the place in front of him that was originally his own town but now turned into the enemy's castle, Xinchina yelled: "General, why don't we take advantage of the situation and kill them now? We can take advantage of their panic now."
Take back the city!"
Xinchina, who was actively killing, said with unfinished content.
"Forget it, look at the situation on their city walls now!"
Looking at the city wall in front of him, why wouldn't Knowlton want to take the opportunity to take it back now? But the situation does not allow them to do so!
After hearing Knowlton's words, Xinchina looked towards the city wall. It didn't matter if he didn't look. This sight shocked them. They saw that the city wall was filled with densely packed enemy troops at this moment.
They are all ready over there with bows and arrows!
"Mom???? When did so many enemy soldiers appear?"
Seeing this situation, Xinchina couldn't help but said in shock.
"You haven't forgotten that they originally had an army of 300,000 people. At that time, their team arrived at our Baoji City with only 200,000 people. It seems that there are 100,000 people who stayed here! They stayed here
The situation here is also very simple, that is, just in case, if the troops in front are defeated, they still have a way out and a backup plan, and secondly, their mission may be to provide supplies for the team in front!"
After seeing this situation, Knowlton couldn't help but sigh slightly and said with emotion.
"Forget it then. Our soldiers are very tired now. I think now is not the time to attack the city. Attacking the city at this time will only cause great harm to ourselves. We can say that we are temporarily under control.
After the situation is resolved, we can discuss the rest of the matters in the long run. We will settle here on a first-come, first-served basis for the time being. Anyway, I believe that the food in their city will not be used for long at this time. The food in front has been burned by us, and the transportation route behind
With our team's interception, I believe they will have problems soon!"
Thinking of the current extremely favorable situation for his side, the heavy cavalry division commander couldn't help but say softly.
"Well, that's all we have to do. Let's settle here now. We'll discuss the rest in the long run!"
After hearing this man's words, Knowlton couldn't help but frowned and said.
Although what he said made sense, and they were indeed in an extremely favorable situation at the moment, they all understood one thing but did not say it out loud, that is, the food in front of the place was destroyed by them, but the food in the rear was destroyed.
Is it really blocked? Not necessarily! First of all, the dukes of those two provinces are Duke Griffint and his brother. Now that they see that the empire is surrounded by enemies, will they continue to obey the empire?
It is still a problem to order help to cut off the enemy's logistical supplies, but even if they agree to help, will they really go all out? The empire is now at a critical juncture and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not have their own private thoughts and selfishness. Perhaps
They won't really try their best to help. Even if they try their best to help, can they really cut off the enemy's food and grass?
Thinking of these officers present, they couldn't help but feel confused for a while, but no one said it. They didn't want to damage their morale and confidence at this time. They would rather believe in those two provinces.
"Okay, the light cavalry will go back to clean up the battlefield and the enemy's barracks, and help the logistics troops with supplies. We will stay and camp on the spot to clean up the place."
After seeing this situation, Knowlton decisively issued the order. It was unlikely that the enemy would attack at this time. After all, when their morale was low at the moment, they would not take the risk of attacking at this time. This would not be good for them.
There is no benefit at all.
After receiving the order, everyone took action one after another and went about their own business.
Looking at the city wall opposite, Knowlton couldn't help but sigh again. This city wall is called Baoji Pass. It is the front city of Baoji City. It was built a hundred years ago when the Shenlong Empire was founded in order to form a first line in front of Baoji City.
Unexpectedly, a fire defense line would be occupied by the enemy a hundred years later. Such a situation made them feel a little disappointed.
"Baoji Pass, I believe you will be back in the arms of the empire soon!"
After a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, Knowlton murmured, and then turned around and walked towards the soldiers. Since they were rushing out to fight, they did not bring tents and other things, so at this moment, all the soldiers were sitting on the open ground.
Resting.
It's late at night now, and the dark night is covered with silvery frost due to the moonlight. It looks a little more wonderful.
