The explosion of fireworks caused the entire battlefield to fall into a brief moment of silence.
Long Aotian, Knowlton and the others naturally saw this conspicuous signal, but unfortunately they did not know what the fireworks represented. The only solution for now was to wait and see what Ichiro Matsui could do.
What tricks were used?
The same thought filled the hearts of most people on the entire battlefield.
At the moment when the fireworks exploded, an officer of the Xuanwu Legion next to Long Aotian and the others frowned when he saw the signal. A trace of embarrassment, hesitation and a trace of hesitation flashed across his face.
But after a moment, a look of perseverance flashed through his eyes, and he suddenly raised the sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "Everyone in the Tiger Camp has obeyed my order, everyone, start taking action!"
After giving the order, he immediately saw that many soldiers behind him immediately took off the armor they were wearing on the outside, revealing the red armor hidden inside.
Seeing this situation, Long Aotian immediately screamed that something was wrong, but when he looked carefully at this moment, it was already too late. He saw that the soldiers who were originally from the Xuanwu Legion in red armor were lifting themselves up.
He threw his weapon at the other soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion beside them, and killed them instantly under his sword before they could react. There were screams in an instant. Just for a moment.
Within a short period of time, hundreds of soldiers died tragically at the hands of these former comrades who suddenly rebelled.
Those soldiers who died in vain under the sword never imagined that nothing happened to them after fighting on the battlefield for so long, but now they died at the hands of the battle they had always trusted, leaving behind
Just an unwilling scream.
"Anderson, s***!"
Seeing this situation, even Long Aotian, who had always been very calm, suddenly became furious with each other. Seeing these soldiers die in the hands of his comrades whom he had always trusted, Long Aotian wished he could rush forward at this moment.
To brutally slaughter such a rebellious guy. And Anderson was the one who initiated this rebellion. He was the commander of a battalion in the infantry.
After cursing, I saw Long Aotian holding his own thunderous roar with one hand and getting into the middle of the soldiers in red armor. He waved his gun with his right hand to pick, stab, and sweep. In an instant, he saw soldiers falling one by one.
fell under his gun.
"General, we'd better retreat. If this continues, the situation on our side will be very damaging to morale. You can see that our soldiers are in chaos now. I think we should go back and discuss it in the long term! Otherwise, if we persist, we will
You will suffer a big loss."
At this time, Knowlton was seen on the other side looking at everything that happened on the battlefield with a livid face. Seeing those rebels, he couldn't help but feel furious. At this moment, a military doctor beside him said dullly.
he said.
"Anderson, I didn't expect that our mole would be you. No wonder our plans were revealed in several operations. It turns out he was the one behind it!"
After hearing what the officer next to him said, Knowlton couldn't help but patted his forehead and said feebly. Then he glanced fiercely in Anderson's direction, sighed feebly and said in a deep voice: "Let's retreat.
."
Then I saw a soldier next to Knowlton shouting to the soldiers below: "The Xuanwu Legion is preparing to retreat!" and immediately saw a guard blowing the retreat horn.
After the horn sounded here, the soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion, whose morale was already low, immediately rushed towards their own station under the command of the officers. Suddenly, the scene formed with the enemy troops pursuing them on one side and the retreating Xuanwu troops on the other.
Scenes of legionnaires. What can be seen everywhere are those soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion who were running a little slower and fell to the ground.
And here, Long Aotian was fighting fiercely when he heard the clarion call to retreat. Lianzhan immediately killed a few enemy soldiers around him and then slowly retreated back to catch up with the large army.
After running wildly along the way and the enemy not fully pursuing them, the Xuanwu Legion finally returned to their base with their scarred bodies after paying a heavy price.
"General????We are now???"
After returning to the station, the military officer next to Knowlton looked at Knowlton with a livid face and asked carefully.
"First organize the team for me and count the casualties. Then come to me and report to me quickly."
Looking back at the group of soldiers behind him, they looked disappointed and angry. Knowlton sighed and said in a deep voice.
Today he felt an unprecedented level of exhaustion, an unprecedented level of anger and unwillingness.
The feeling of being betrayed by his own people made him feel at a loss, and the feeling of guilt towards the soldiers made him breathless. At this moment, Knowlton didn't know how to give the soldiers a satisfactory answer.
How to comfort fallen soldiers.
"All the officers come to my place for a meeting!"
After some ideological struggle, Knowlton shouted to everyone behind him that now is not the time for him to be silent. As the leader of this army, he must think about the army and the empire. He must come up with a plan to solve this matter.
.
Sitting in Knowlton's camp, everyone felt a sense of silence and solemnity at this moment. The atmosphere in the room made everyone feel breathless.
"Sir, the results are out!"
After about a quarter of an hour of silence, the silent atmosphere was finally broken. At this time, an adjutant from the regiment who walked in from outside came to Knowlton and said seriously.
After hearing his words, the ears of everyone present couldn't help but perked up.
"What are the casualties?"
After hearing his words, Knowlton asked in a deep voice, what should be faced must be faced.
"Our casualties this time were very heavy. Nearly 10,000 soldiers were killed in total. Including the soldiers of the mutinous battalion, there were more than 14,000 soldiers missing. There were also more than 800 seriously injured and lightly injured
Twenty thousand people were injured!”
Reading out the data one by one was undoubtedly a blow to the people present. Knowlton and everyone else also looked heavier.
After knowing that the man had finished speaking everything, the place was already so quiet that it was terrifying.
"Asshole, if I see that Anderson again, I will chop him up!"
At this time, an officer who was the top officer of the infantry side gritted his teeth and said bitterly.
"General, this revenge must be avenged. We must get them back!"
"Yes, definitely!"
???????? Immediately afterwards, everyone in the venue became chaotic, and everyone yelled at you and me.
"Report??????"
At this moment, Wei Chang's voice came from outside the door again!
"General, it's bad, the two Duke Griffint brothers from the two provinces surrounding us have begun to rebel!" Then he saw a dusty soldier running into the camp to report.
"What? Duke Griffint rebelled?" As soon as these words came out, it was undoubtedly another thunder that made everyone explode.
"When did it happen? How is the situation now?"
After a moment of silence, Knowlton asked in a deep voice.
"They started taking action this afternoon. At night, they had already attacked fifty miles outside Baoji City. The reinforcements from the Qilin Corps just arrived there. There was a confrontation between the two sides, and they are still in a stalemate."
After quickly reporting the situation, the guard looked up at Knowlton to see what he could do.
"The reinforcements from the Qilin Legion have arrived? This may be good news, but????"
The thought of Griffint and the others rebelling against hundreds of thousands of troops seemed to give them another headache for some time.
"Adjutant, go and send a letter to the imperial capital to report the situation here!"
After listening to the report, Knowlton first asked his adjutant to write a letter, and then looked at the people below and said: "I was surprised by what happened at the end of today's battle. I didn't expect that there would be a mole within our team.
I didn’t expect that they would openly rebel at this time. It’s obvious that this was something that Japan had planned for a long time. As the coach, I bear the absolute responsibility for not discovering this matter as early as possible!”
After speaking, Knowlton bowed deeply to everyone.
"But everyone has heard the current situation! We must finish the war here as soon as possible and turn around to suppress the rebellion over there. Everyone, please tell us what you think!"
"General, I think we can immediately organize another attack now, and attack when the enemy has just won a victory and is relaxed and unprepared. They will not expect that we will attack again at this time.
Turn around and attack, so we can use this opportunity to win by surprise!"
As soon as Knowlton finished speaking, Long Aotian quickly stood up and said.
This thought had been lingering in his mind just now. He was unwilling to lose today's battle like this. He was unwilling to gain nothing after losing some of his best brothers. Just now he had
After learning about Orr's death, I returned to the military camp and learned that Nat and his team had gone to five people during the mission, but only two came back, and there was no trace of Nat.
Long Aotian, who has always regarded Nat as his best friend, naturally knew that something was wrong with Nat under such circumstances. He hated Anderson and Ichiro Matsui. But he had always suppressed the sadness and anger in his heart.
