Chapter 186: Enter the mountains and take over the defense area!
The soldiers turned their heads and found Xuan Jie slowly lowering his longbow, his eyes full of displeasure.
"That's how your instructors teach you? Do you want to defeat the enemy as quickly as possible on the battlefield, are you going to have a tea with it for a break?"
After being scolded, the soldiers did not hesitate and immediately raised their weapons to kill the demon's sword.
A lot of time wasted when encountering the demon. Xuan Jie looked at the map and estimated that it would be at night to arrive in the Chris Mountains as soon as possible.
After a moment, the casualties came out.
Even though he was so good, he had thirty serious injuries, one hundred and two minor injuries and ten deaths.
The casualties were just counted, and the two teams chasing the demons also brought back good news.
"Sir, the enemy has been killed in many ways. If you are cut into several quartets and still be able to survive."
He got up and put away the map and patted Kyripos and Potter on the shoulders, and walked towards the soldiers who had died.
"We should have buried our brothers and move forward, but we don't have this time to waste," Xuan Jie paused, and opened his eyes and continued:
"The seriously injured members are waiting for the large army to come here, and by the way, they will bring me a message to ask them to bury the dead people here. If possible, they will be erected and held a ritual. Anyway, the more grand the better."
After the arrangement was made, Xuan Jie left three days of food rations and some injured medicines for the seriously injured person, and rushed towards the Chris Mountains.
The front line ahead has not been broken yet, and the situation where the village is slaughtered here indicates that there is insufficient manpower.
The evening breeze blew on his tired face, but people didn't dare to rest and close their eyes. Under Xuan Jie's leadership, they walked towards the battlefield at a constant speed.
I didn't encounter a demon on the way, but I was interrogated several times by the Black Bear Mountain army. After all, no one wanted to believe it, so I dared to enter here with more than a thousand people.
"Did you bring a thousand people to change the taste of the demons? You should know how dangerous the battlefield is. I don't need to explain more."
At the last pass of the Chris Mountains, the other party was tough and issued an expulsion order, indicating that Xuan Jie would take the person back.
They suffered heavy casualties on the battlefield with the demons, and these thousand people were just a drop in the bucket.
"No need, you have responsibilities on your shoulders, and we are also ordered to come, and there are still 20,000 teams coming."
After saying that, he took his men to enter the battlefield, but was stopped by the defensive soldiers with swords.
Both sides drew out swords, and the atmosphere was particularly solemn for a moment, as if blood was about to splatter in the next second.
Xuan Jie leaned over and got off the horse, and the black cloak made a rustling sound in the wind.
He reached out and pressed down the sword raised by the adjutant and calmly came to the front of the team.
"I said it! Don't go forward, take one step forward and bear the consequences!"
In fact, Xuan Jie could see that the officer just didn't want this group of people to die, which was enough to see how tragic the war was.
"Put off all the weapons," Xuan Jie waved his hand and gave an order, then looked at the officer wearing black armor and sharp eyes.
"We must go to the front line no matter what. It is not your responsibility to eradicate the demons. If you are kind-hearted, please get out of the way, or... pierce me with a spear on the spot!"
After saying that, he pressed forward with his body, obviously trying to force his way through the pass.
The remaining troops followed closely behind. The officers were afraid that they would really stab them, so they ordered everyone to put away their weapons.
Indeed, in such a time of crisis, how could it be possible to raise a butcher knife to a friendly army?
"Everyone... I will never thank you for your kindness! I must come back safely, Black Bear Mountain will always remember you."
Entering the main battlefield, the Chris Mountains, from now on, the sky will not be blue, and the light will dim under the cover of gunpowder.
As the officer said, their thousand men entered the mountains to fight the enemy, just like ants pouring into the river and unable to cause any storm.
But now there is a giant mixed in the ant, an existence that is enough to overturn the situation.
When you come to the area where the mountain range is deployed, it is full of dead silence, and you can see people who died of serious injuries everywhere.
Whether it is the powerful creature Bear Spirit nourished by the earth's veins or the ordinary army, the body is lying on the ground without any vitality.
The last wave of attacks has retreated, and only thick smoke and dust are flying on the field.
The battlefield commander sent someone to meet Xuan Jie and led him to the temporary command room.
The command room is built with tents and is located behind the position.
"please."
The soldier lifted the blocking cloth and Xuan Jie slowly walked into the tent and walked towards the middle.
The conference table is long and except for the commander-in-chief at the top, there are humans and bear spirits standing on both sides.
The rest are only one map and lamp holder, and the tent looks very monotonous.
"Hmph, I'm really overestimating my ability. I dare to come here with a thousand people? Or is it just like that in Winter City?"
The rough man mocked Xuan Jie, and the scar on his face made his eyes look murderous.
The others did not speak out, somewhat agreeing with the officer's statement.
"Oh?" Xuan Jie turned around and walked towards him in a frivolous tone:
"Then does this general feel that he has fulfilled his duties? When we came, a village was burned to ruins. Is it considered your incompetence?"
"you...!"
Bang!
The body of the porcelain tea cup collided with the lid and made a sound. Of course, the reason was that the table was slapped by someone.
"Everything is quiet," the deep rhythm echoed in my ears, and the battles all day long made my voice a little hoarse.
The commander-in-chief who had been sitting at the table bowed his hands finally spoke. He raised his head and the yellowed candlelight illuminated his face.
Is this the bear spirit of Black Bear Mountain? Its strength is pretty good, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to fight the demon for so long.
Xuan Jie was still in his mind, but was frightened by the gaze of the Xiong Ling leader.
Because he wanted to hide his aura and identity, Xuan Jie could only pretend to be traumatized and retreated, because it was impossible for mortals to catch the attack without any movement.
His footsteps quickly retreated, and when he was about to fall, his back was supported by one hand.
"Grandpa Tianxiong is still so overwhelming. No matter what, they are here to help us. Although the number of people is a bit small, there are still 20,000 on the way."
The person who spoke was a girl in a green dress, her light brown hair continued to her waist, and the buttons of the clothes were in the shape of pine cones in the woods.
She jumped from behind Xuan Jie to the side of the Tianxiong, and it could be seen that the relationship between the two sides was particularly good.
"Miaomiao said that people come from afar to support, how can you be so rude?"
Tianxiong stood up, and a burst of pressure swept across the audience instantly.
“My lord, I currently have two deployments.
1. You brought your subordinates into Lao Liu's defense zone to defend the enemy from attacking. 2. You took your people to guard the city wall on the east, and the command power was in your hands. Even if there were few enemies there, you should not be too careless.
”
Xuan Jie nodded and agreed, and chose the second one without hesitation.
"I would like to send troops to lead us over and say goodbye," he bowed his hands and turned around and left immediately.
He was afraid that if he stayed there, his identity would be seen through by the commander.
"Grandpa Tianxiong, see you scared the reinforcements..."
Miaomiao shook Tianxiong's hand, and it responded with a smile on its mouth, but a fog rose in its heart.
Strangely, I couldn't fully understand him, but a look could shake him back... Where is the problem?
The terrain of the mountains is very high, and relying on the defense line created by natural danger, dragging the demons here.
Xuan Jie wanted to guard the side wall. Commander Tianxiong said that there were few enemies here, but from the accompanying soldiers, they learned that there were generally no enemies here, and at most they were just a small amount of harassment.
Due to the number of people, this support team seems to be unpopular.
"Okay, this is your defense zone from now on. If you have anything to do..."
Before the soldiers leading the way finished their speech, Xuan Jie bluntly expressed his request for supplies and a mountain map.
Humph, I’m thinking about supplies before the war is fought? It’s a waste to give it to a group of dying people.
"The map is confidential. To prevent you from losing it, you cannot provide it. As for the food... you will naturally have it after the meal."
The soldier waved his hand and left. He might have really regarded everyone as dying people.
But what the soldier didn't expect was that he had such a big disturbance, and the leaders and soldiers under him had no complaints.
This shows that the army is very cohesive and disciplined, and the commander firmly obeys without speaking out.
"What an amazing team, what a pity..."
But what he didn't know was that the reason why Xuan Jie ignored it was thinking about more important things.
He was paying attention to his surroundings along the way.
Strangely, although this is the side of the defense line, it is not without strategic value. If it is captured, it can pose a direct threat to the remaining key nodes...
"What are the abacus of the devils? Do they really can't understand the situation and will only use tough means to break through the defense line?"
Although Xuanjie's defense line is not outstanding enough, and the place is even a bit remote, isn't the reason for occupying this place to prevent being attacked by the demon from detours?
If this place is lost, the advantage of the demon army will be further expanded.
"Kelipos, take the scouts to the mountain to explore, remember not to go too deep."
Xuan Jie, who stopped thinking, began to deploy military forces to prevent being caught off guard by the sudden demon.
"Potter, you bring people to prepare bows and arrows and saltpeter, and they should not be stingy in equipment."
"yes!"
After receiving the order, the two of them went to prepare for each other. The first thing Xuan Jie did when he got the saltpeter was to instruct people to grind them into powder.
"Press carefully and don't use too much force, as it will cause spontaneous combustion to be in great danger."
The soldiers didn't know why they had to prepare these for dealing with the demons, but Xuan Jie didn't say much, just asked them to act according to the order later.
The troops stationed here in Heixiong Mountain were also confused. Judging from the military orders, they wanted to follow Xuan Jie's arrangements to fight.
But it is not a simple thing for them to admit that a stranger is, so they retreat to the rear and become a reserve force.
"Sir, the saltpeter powder has been ground. As instructed, the archers have occupied high positions in batches. They have arranged shield soldiers to protect them as instructed."
