A coalition soldier wiped the sweat off his face and followed the others holding a huge shield. He looked around from time to time. During the days of fighting with the Xiliang army,
These cannon fodder of the coalition forces were originally new recruits. They began to adapt to the battlefield and the strength of the Xiliang army.
For this reason, their army is equipped with a large number of shields. This is the only equipment that can protect them. Cannon fodder troops like them are not qualified to receive iron armor.
Only the shield in hand can withstand the attack of arrow feathers, so each team must have 3 to 5 shields. This is equipment that can protect them.
He was very lucky and became a soldier holding a shield. Although holding a shield was very tiring, it was much better than others in terms of safety.
Even if he is discovered by the Xiliang army, he will be the last target of Xiliang's bows and arrows. The opponent will definitely shoot those without shields to death first and then take his turn.
Looking at the two steep cliffs, he felt something strange. When he was behind, he saw his comrades in front rushing forward, and a large number of arrows would fly out from both sides.
Looking at the corpses under their feet, they were all new recruits who had been recruited like them. Now that he had been tricked into becoming cannon fodder, he felt that his future was dark.
All the people who were fooled into the game were interested in the salary of 20,000 yuan a month. They thought they would just enter the game to complete some tasks, or collect materials, transport things, etc.
They didn't expect that they would become cannon fodder, and they were the kind of cannon fodder that would be killed by those big companies if they didn't move forward. They wanted to resist at first, but in the eyes of those big companies and the strong, their power was just like ants.
.
They can kill a lot of them easily, but the Federation also turns a blind eye to this. They have nowhere to vent and no way to appeal.
If they couldn't resist, they could only obey, so they chose to obey.
Everyone is growing up rapidly on the battlefield. While growing up, they have not forgotten their hatred for the federal high-level officials and those big companies. If possible, they would rather not have this growth.
Look at these corpses lying on the ground. This is no longer a game, but a real world where death is real.
They are like a lot of ants, driven to the front line and then massacred, becoming cannon fodder and stepping stones for the main army in the rear.
Thinking that the soldiers looked back, they saw that those who were supervising the battle were each wearing heavy iron armor, and inside the iron armor there was a very thick layer of soft armor.
Only when it is certain that it is safe, the soldiers supervising the battle will move forward. Otherwise, they usually stay at the back of the army and quietly watch the people in front of them die.
"I will kill you one day!" The soldier's hateful gaze quickly disappeared. The most important thing now is how to survive on this battlefield.
The Xiliang soldiers on both sides did not shoot arrows, which made him feel more and more uneasy. The unknown enemy was the most terrifying. He would rather face the rain of guns and arrows now than face the unknown terror.
The longer you fight with the Xiliang Army, the deeper your understanding of the horrors of the Xiliang Army becomes.
The casualty ratio between cannon fodder soldiers like them and Xiliang headquarters soldiers is 200:1, which means that they need at least 200 people to die before they can kill one Xiliang headquarters soldier.
This is still under very ideal circumstances, because after most of the Xiliang headquarters soldiers are injured, a large number of Mercury World soldiers will come to escort those soldiers out of the battlefield.
The Mercury World soldiers come from another world like them, but those in the Mercury World are much happier than them now, because those in the Mercury World will not really die.
When they are killed, they are resurrected at most, just like they used to play games. After death, they lose something, and then they can be resurrected.
Therefore, when these Mercury soldiers saw that the Xiliang soldiers were seriously injured, they would risk their lives to help the Xiliang soldiers, use their lives to carve out a path of life, and escort the seriously injured soldiers away.
The relationship between Xuan Jie and Mercury World seems to be too much compared to the effectiveness of various departments and major legions in their army.
"What is Lin Mu thinking? Come on and follow." Just when Lin Mu was thinking about it, the captain's voice sounded: "If you don't hurry up and move forward, I feel there must be some conspiracy in the southwest. We have to hurry up and leave this place.
area."
Now the canyon they walked to has become much narrower, and there are corpses everywhere on the ground, left by their comrades in front of them, and the number of these corpses is gradually decreasing.
He could also see some seriously injured people lying under the steep rock wall. Those people looked at them with numb eyes. From these people, he could not see any breath of life.
Although they seem to be still alive, in fact their hearts are already dead. Perhaps death is a kind of relief for them.
Following the cannon fodder legion was the main force of the coalition. There were also a large number of monks in the main force. During these days of fighting, the number of 30,000 monks was reduced to less than 20,000.
However, they broke through Xiliang's outermost defense in one fell swoop. At this time, a thoroughfare had been opened, which was the canyon they were moving forward into.
"General, I always feel something is wrong." The general's adjutant in charge of the vanguard force said to the general uneasily: "In the past ten days, has our progress been too smooth?"
In the past ten days or so, they have been attacking the positions garrisoned by the Xiliang army, and they have felt more and more relaxed. Many positions were successfully taken down at the cost of thousands of men.
But the troops on the side faced very tough resistance. If we divide the passage between the left and right sides and their front into 100m, they have now reached the 80th meter, while the troops on the left and right have just advanced less than 20m.
.
If you look at it from the huge sand table, they are now like entering a huge pocket. If the Xiliang army sends troops directly from both sides, they can surround them.
Their most elite troops and main legions have now entered this big mouth. If Xiliang really bites from the left and right sides, they are really likely to be surrounded!
The vanguard general sighed and said: "The commander-in-chief has also felt it, but we have no way. The pressure from above is too great. They have been urging, and now the commander-in-chief's command power is close to none!"
The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces is also very helpless. He can see that Xiliang is playing a big game now. The Xiliang army on the front battlefield chooses to retreat, showing that the enemy is weak!
It seems like they have repelled the Xiliang army guarding the front position, but if you take a closer look, think about the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang army before.
It can be found that most of the corpses left by the Xiliang army are the corpses of soldiers from the Mercury world, and there are very few corpses of soldiers from the Xiliang headquarters.
Moreover, the rate of defeat of various positions in Xiliang was countless times faster than before. After almost a certain number of people died in each position, they would retreat.
Instead of them taking down these positions.
But those high-level officials did not think so. They believed that it was because of the elite troops and Buddhist monks that the coalition forces were able to defeat the Xiliang army with overwhelming force after these two armies joined the battlefield.
Especially when those high-level officials saw the mine, the troops rushing to the innermost part could already see the mine in the distance. There are many mines and resources in this area, otherwise the Xiliang army would not choose to garrison here.
It won't turn this place into a huge battlefield.
"All we can do now is to take all precautions!" The vanguard general looked at the mountains on the left and right sides: "We can't make any mistakes in the mountains on the left and right sides. Send people to watch them!"
"This general has already given the order!" the deputy general said and suggested: "General, why don't we ask for some cannon fodder from the rear and ask them to send more cannon fodder? Let's first let the cannon fodder army enter the depths of the canyon, and the supporting army will be there.
Set up camp here and wait for three or four days to take a look. If there is not much movement from the Xiliang army, it will not be too late for us to lead the main army in.
I believe the commander-in-chief will not force us to go in!"
"That's okay!" The vanguard general nodded: "Look at the movements of the Xiliang army when the army enters the mine!"
....
"General Manager, the enemy's vanguard troops have arrived in front of the mining area." Carp's headquarters has retreated to the rear of the mining area, which is the base camp of the Xiliang army, where a large number of Mercury World troops and the Xiliang army are gathered.
When Li Yi decided to set up the pocket formation, it was like the Mercury World requesting a large number of soldiers.
There isn't much else on the Mercury world, and there are countless ordinary troops. After one batch is used, another batch can be recruited.
The only thing that is a bit difficult is that they cannot guarantee whether there are traitors among those soldiers, because they currently do not have the means to identify traitors.
Moreover, many people cannot resist the olive branches extended by other worlds. They can only try their best to select some people with innocent backgrounds.
The soldiers of the Mercury world played a very important role on this battlefield. Many positions were entrusted to them to garrison. They fought to the death and refused to retreat. They could be resurrected after death, but the price of death might make people suffer from mental breakdown.
It feels like falling into an endless hell. People with weak will are likely to become sluggish and unable to get out for a long time. Therefore, many people are unwilling to die even if they are able to survive.
However, the Xiliang headquarters army wanted those people to retreat, but those soldiers fought to the death on the position in order to realize this plan.
The spirit of these people makes the Xiliang soldiers admire them. The spirit of these people is the same as the spirit of their Xiliang soldiers, although their strength is not as good as them.
But as long as the spirit is strong enough, according to the current resources of Mercury World, plus the help given to them by Xiliang, the people of Mercury World are destined to rise.
It's just a matter of time.
"They have been arrogant for more than ten days, it's time to shut up!" Li Yi sneered on his face. If there were only troops in the mountainous areas, he would definitely defend them based on the terrain and let the coalition forces lose in those positions.
heavy.
Because the positions in the front were originally used to fight against the coalition forces and consume the effective strength of the coalition forces.
But later he received nearly 100,000 more Xiliang troops on the plains. If these 100,000 Xiliang troops were in his hands, he would lead the army to fight out of the mountains.
However, it is good to have an army of 100,000 people outside. The huge pocket formation he deployed lacks an army that can seal the intersection, cut off the retreat of the coalition forces in front, and block the support of other coalition forces.
"Give me the order to start counterattack at dawn, everything will be based on signal flares!"
"Have someone hurry up and pass the news to Marshal Li Huo!"
"promise!"
The southwestern army began to surge, and the main army and Xuanshui team hidden in the mountains all headed for their destination according to the command's plan.
There are many troops looking at the sky from time to time. These troops are hidden in the mountainous area occupied by the coalition forces. They are hidden in some very hidden places without being discovered.
Before the army retreated, they were ordered to wait for the signal flare. Once the red signal flare lit up in the sky, it was time for the army to counterattack.
They have been waiting for the signal these days. They are not in a hurry, because there is a lot of food and water in the mountains, and there is no big problem even if they wait for a month.
A long time ago, they had stored large amounts of food and water in the mountains, which were originally prepared for mining veins.
This vast mountainous area is full of mines. Under these rocks, there are either primeval stones or various rare mineral sources.
Time passed little by little, the sky began to get dark, and night fell.
During the day, there were very few confrontations on the frontal battlefield. The coalition forces took advantage of this time to rest and stabilize the positions they occupied. The troops in the rear camps began to slowly approach the mountains.
They plan to move the camp to the mountainous area so that it can be more convenient for high-level command and can provide timely support to the battlefield ahead.
Far behind them, a large army was approaching them quickly. Before the coalition forces entered the pocket formation, Li Huo had already led his army to a place less than 50 miles away from the coalition camp in front.
After receiving the news during the day, Li Huo began to lead the army forward, and finally stopped at a place less than 20 miles away to let the soldiers take a final rest and prepare food.
The war starts tomorrow and there will be no time to prepare!
Huhuhu~
The strong wind howled through the canyon, and the cannon fodder legionnaires, who had worked hard for a day, fell into a deep sleep.
The area they live in is the narrowest area in the entire canyon. In the flat area in front of them near the mine, 20,000 heavy infantry, 40,000 main troops, and 20,000 armed forces have been rushed from behind.
Inhabited by monks and a large number of powerful adventurers.
Cannon fodder like them can only live in the canyon...
