"Damn it, we've been ambushed!" Night Shade's Eighth-stage Samurai said while gnashing his teeth.
The First Legion of the Longhui Empire was not a regular legion, but a highly mobile special legion. It consisted of six heavy cavalry phalanxes, two light cavalry phalanxes, and four archer phalanxes. This kind of configuration made many legions gnash their teeth in anger. When they couldn't beat them, they couldn't run away. When they could beat them, they couldn't catch up to them.
"Hold on! The reinforcements have arrived! "Yoo Yoon-ching was already exhausted from fighting. As a Stage Six Martial Master, she was already considered a pretty good expert in Konuma Province, but in front of the people of the Empire, it was not enough. She had to face the attacks of more than three opponents of the same level at the same time.
"Night Shade! I, Yang Ding, will definitely kill all of you! "Yang Ding naturally followed Long Xiangtian. When he saw the corpses on the Two Tigers' front, the heavily injured and unconscious Wei Laoqi, Yang Hao, and the wounded soldiers who were still fighting, he felt heartache.
"Consider yourselves lucky!" The commander of the Night Shade said angrily. He then took out a small horn from his bosom and blew it.
"Order to retreat!" When the Night Shade's men heard the sound of the horn, they immediately withdrew from the battlefield without any hesitation and retreated towards the stronghold.
"Run!" The Red Earth Forces, who had seen the might of the Night Shade, immediately fled to the rear. As long as they used their brains, they would know that the person who could scare the Night Shade away was definitely not someone they could stop.
"Chase!" Naturally, Long Xiangtian would not let the Night Shade retreat smoothly. Under his order, the special legion immediately changed their formation. The light cavalry archers and light cavalry immediately chased after the Night Shade, while the heavy cavalry followed closely behind.
However, although the horses of the Longhui Empire ran faster than the Night Shade's warriors, there was still a limit. A large number of Red Earth's defeated army formed an obstacle in front of the charging cavalry. The Night Shade's warriors used their agility to quickly weave through the defeated army and left far away.
"Commander, the Red Earth …" A platoon leader loyal to Long Xiangtian wanted to ask Long Xiangtian how to deal with the fleeing Red Earth Forces.
"Chase and kill within a radius of twenty li. Kill as many as you can." Long Xiangtian directly gave the order to slaughter the defeated troops. To him, the Red Earth troops were also the enemy of the Empire. It was also in his interest to suppress them with absolute superiority.
"Yes!" The platoon leader directly conveyed the order. Immediately, the Longhui Empire's cavalry began to slaughter the Red Earth's defeated army. For them, whether it was the Red Earth troops or the Night Shade, the enemy's head was a military achievement.
This battle was the first battle where the Red Earth Forces were nearly annihilated since the start of the war. They paid the price for their evil deeds in the stronghold in a pile of rubble nearly half a day's walk from the stronghold.
One day later, in the stronghold.
"Commander Long, the scouts have come to report that there is no sign of garrison in the stronghold. The Earth Dragon Legion, which replaced the Two Tigers as the vanguard, has been stationed in the stronghold!" Liu Luoxiang was not as tough as Yang Ding. He had some politician's mind and was respectful to Long Xiangtian.
"Okay!" Long Xiangtian, who was sitting on the main seat, responded faintly. He looked at the magnificent stronghold in front of him. No one knew what he was thinking.
Rock Reef City.
"Doctor, how are they?" After the battle at the pile of rubble, Yang Ding asked the Two Tigers to retreat to Rock Reef City, which had better facilities, to treat the injured soldiers. After sending the injured soldiers to the intensive ward, he had been waiting here. Yang Hao, Yoo Yoon-ching, Wei Laoqi and the others were all inside.
"Deputy Commander Yang's internal injury is more serious and needs to recuperate for a period of time. Captain Liu and the others have external injuries and will be fine after a few days of rest. But Platoon Leader Laoqi … "The doctor of Rock Reef City was hesitant when talking about Wei Laoqi.
"Wei Laoqi, how is he?" Yang Ding felt a little uneasy.
"Platoon Leader Laoqi's injury is too serious. He lost too much blood on the battlefield and did not receive timely replenishment. He has died!" The doctor reported the death of Wei Laoqi.
"Old Seventh Brother!" Hearing this news, Yang Ding was stunned and looked at the doctor blankly.
"Commander Yang, please restrain your grief. The sword has no eyes." The doctor also couldn't bear it. Those who died in battle were heroes who protected the country from invasion. The affairs of the world are impermanent. Often, heroes die the earliest.
Another day, Eastflow City's royal palace.
"Majesty, good news from the front line. Our army defeated the Red Earth enemy and wiped out all the Red Earth people who committed evil acts in the stronghold." In the morning, a military officer reported the situation to Meng Heshen. They could receive reports from thousands of miles away in a day by using alchemy products to transmit information.
"Tell me the details." Hearing the victory at the front line, Meng Heshen's grief of losing his son improved a little.
"Yes!" The military officer took out a booklet and read, "The day before yesterday, the Red Earth directly sent troops to attack East Flow City. When the Two Tigers learned of this, they sent light cavalry to help. Together with the garrison of East Flow City and gunpowder, they defeated the Red Earth Forces and killed more than ten thousand of the enemy! But more than half of the walls of East Flow City collapsed. "
"Hmm! Continue. "Hearing that more than ten thousand of the enemy were killed, everyone was moved. Only Meng Heshen knew the power of gunpowder.
"The next day, several corps commanders thought that they should pursue the victory and use this opportunity to recover the stronghold. The Two Tigers were the vanguard corps. The Two Tigers were ambushed in the rubble and defeated the remnants of the Red Earth army. But the Night Shade lurking in the Army of Red Earth made a move. The Two Tigers fought a bloody battle in the rubble and lost more than half of their forces. At the most critical moment, the First Legion of the Empire made a move and defeated the Night Shade and rescued the Two Tigers. Now the Two Tigers have retreated to Rocky Reef City to rest. "
"Send my orders to the frontlines. The soldiers who fought to the death in this war will be given a promotion to the Heroic Soul Palace!" After the military officer finished his detailed report, Meng Heshen waved his sleeves and announced the order.
"Yes!" The military officer accepted the order and retreated.
… Rock Reef City.
"Commander-in-chief, the casualty list is out." The herald came to Yang Ding with a list of names.
"Read it!" Yang Ding said expressionlessly.
"Yes!" The herald took the order and opened the list.
"First Square Formation, Captain Wei Laoqi, Captain Xiong Hongyi, Captain Yang Haodang …"
"Second Square Formation, Captain Gong Yan, Captain Gong? Long???
"Third Square Formation …"
