This kind of frenzied attack, this kind of frenzied attack that did not care about human lives, caused the Divine Prefecture Empire to suffer heavy losses. They had originally planned to hold on for half a month, but in just a day and a half, nearly half of the arrows had been used up! These were the arrows of the 30,000 Tamago archers that they had seized!
Originally, there were only 2000 men guarding the mountain, but seeing that the situation was not good, Feng Mo hurriedly added another 1000 men. Originally, there were 300 archers, but Feng Mo also increased it to 500! However, they were still barely able to hold on, and were surrounded by danger. The number of casualties was beyond imagination!
In this narrow passage, and with the high ground, they had the advantage of time and place, but they still could not stop the frenzied attacks of the Tamago army. It had only been a day and a half, and all fifteen thousand people had already been rotated once! If not for the terrain being so advantageous to the Divine Prefecture Empire, they would have already broken through at least a dozen times!
Just like that, the Divine Prefecture Empire's side suffered heavy casualties. Injured soldiers were everywhere in the valley, and there were not many who were in good condition. Especially those experts who were mixed in with the Tamago army, they caused even more casualties to the Divine Prefecture Empire's side. Ling Feng, Ling Yun, Feng Mo and the 20 Blood Iron Warriors were split into two groups, and did not get any rest at all.
Feng Mo was extremely glad that he did not make the decision to defend the Tamago army's original camp. If that was the case, with such an attack, his army would have been completely destroyed in a day!
This was too crazy! Feng Mo was so angry that he cursed out loud. This daddy here did not have any enmity with you guys, nor did I have any hatred for you guys. Do you guys have to be so full of hatred?
What Feng Mo did not know was that although he did not have any enmity with the Tamago army, his previous actions had caused the deaths of dozens of people from the Tamago army to have no descendants! The hatred of not having any descendants was sometimes even more unbearable than the hatred of killing one's father or stealing one's wife!
There were three ways to be unfilial, but having no descendants was the worst.
The entire mountain was filled with corpses. The flowing hot blood had melted the thick snow into a pool of blood, which then froze, forming a beautiful smooth blood ground!
This mountain pass, this mountain slope. It had truly become a meat grinder!
It was late at night.
Feng Mo, Ling Feng, and Ling Yun sat in a circle in a tent. In the middle of the tent was a bonfire, emitting heat. No matter how strong one's internal energy was, one would not be able to withstand the cold for a long time, especially after a great battle.
Faint moaning sounds could be heard all around. It was an oppressive feeling that was barely restrained. Anyone could clearly feel what kind of immense pain these people were suffering.
On Ling Feng's body, there were seven or eight places that were wrapped in white cloth. Although the bandages were very meticulous, fresh blood still seeped out from time to time. Beside him, Feng Mo and Ling Yun didn't look much better than him. Under the illumination of the fire, the three of them had very heavy expressions on their faces. Apart from the heaviness, there was also a trace of despair!
Such an expression should not have appeared on the faces of the three of them. Who were they? They were the elite troops that Ling Tian had painstakingly groomed. If someone were to tell them that they would feel despair, they would definitely pull out their swords and fight to the death. However, even such iron-blooded men would feel despair, even if it was just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit!
There was no other reason. The battle this time was just too tragic. It was so tragic that they were on the verge of collapse!
Death, they were not afraid. Whether it was tomorrow or the day after, it didn't matter.
But with a ground full of wounded soldiers, a total of fifteen thousand brothers going on the road together, it was really …
With a "hu" sound, the tent door opened. A cold wind blew in, and a figure stepped in, "Big brother." It was one of the Blood Iron Warriors.
"Brothers, how are the casualties?" Feng Mo raised his head, his eyes filled with urgency as he looked at him. There was an indescribable fatigue on his face. He hoped to hear some positive news!
The burly man's face darkened, "Up till now, our brothers have lost 3,317 people, 70 heavily injured, 9,400 lightly injured, and those who are in good condition … are less than 3,000 people."
There was silence in the tent.
Such a number, anyone who was familiar with the battlefield would know what such a number meant, and how cruel it was! There were only deaths and light injuries, and very few heavily injured, only seventy people! Compared to the thousands of deaths and light injuries, it was almost nothing!
This meant that both sides were fighting with their lives on the line. Those who were heavily injured did not have the chance to retreat! All of them had died on the battlefield.
"Of the two thousand archers, there are still one thousand three hundred men left. The number of arrows … based on the current situation, we can still deal with the enemy's attacks three times. After three times, we will …"
Feng Mo sighed heavily. This was already a hopeless situation, a hopeless situation! Without the suppression of the archers from afar, it would be impossible to defend the city with just the flesh and blood of the soldiers. The enemy's military strength was almost ten times that of their own. Furthermore, it was the kind of army that did not fear death, and only knew how to charge forward!
Three attacks! From the sound of it, three attacks was not a small number. If this was a normal battlefield, three attacks would take at least two days. But now, the three of them knew that in this situation, three attacks was nothing.
In just the first day, they had already endured nine attacks from Tamago's army! For the next four days, on average, Tamago would attack at least seven times a day! There were dozens of archers who had shot their bows too many times, and their fingers were so strained that their bones could be seen!
In other words, the remaining arrows of the archers could last for at most one morning. After a whole morning's time, it would be a complete hand-to-hand combat!
Once the hand-to-hand battle began, their side would no longer have any hope. Tamago's side could continue to send in reinforcements, while their side would continue to be exhausted. As for reinforcements, how could they fight this battle?
Tamago's strong reaction this time, regardless of the cost, had greatly exceeded Feng Mo's expectations. Other than that, ever since they had attacked Tamago's border camp, Feng Mo knew that Tamago would definitely retaliate. But he did not expect that Tamago's revenge would come so quickly, and so crazily!
Originally, he had prepared to defend against the enemy's fifty thousand strong army for half a month. But in just four days, he had run out of supplies! Compared to his side's losses, Tamago's losses were many times greater. But Tamago did not care about their losses, and only attacked fiercely. Finally, the situation had reached its worst point. After all, Tamago was the home ground, and could replenish their troops without limit. But on his side …
"Boss Feng, the current situation is really bad. We can't just passively defend. So, I think …" Ling Feng gritted his teeth, looked at Feng Mo, and said slowly, "Why don't Ling Yun and I sneak into the enemy camp in the middle of the night, and assassinate Tamago's high ranking officers. Maybe we can take advantage of the chaos to achieve victory. At least we can gain some time to breathe." Hearing this, Ling Yun nodded slowly.
"No! Definitely not! " Feng Mo did not even think about it and shook his head. From the attacks of the past few days, it could be seen that the people leading Tamago's army were all martial arts experts. Furthermore, they were top notch experts. Just look at the few people hidden among the ordinary soldiers, and they had caused Ling Feng and Ling Yun to expend a lot of effort, and even suffered some serious injuries. But they still did not manage to kill a single one of them. From this, it could be seen that the experts in Tamago's camp were definitely not weak, and their numbers were definitely not small. How could he let Ling Feng and Ling Yun take such a risk? This was no longer a risk, it was basically sending them to their deaths!
"Why not? This is not the first time we've done something like this. Don't tell me you don't believe in our ability? "
"It's not that I don't believe in you, but times have changed!" Feng Mo said worriedly. "In the previous assassinations, the two of you were hidden in the shadows, catching them off guard and killing them in one strike. Of course, it was possible. But in the current situation, the two of you have already made your moves more than once. It can be said that you have already been exposed, and the enemy will definitely be on guard against you. Furthermore, there are many experts in the enemy camp, and some of them are even stronger than you. If you go in now, you will only be sending yourselves to your deaths!"
"We have to go. Everyone knows that. Even if we don't go, do you think Tamago will let us go? This is our last chance! " Ling Yun rolled his eyes and said coldly. "But if we succeed, we can give the rest of our brothers a chance to retreat safely! We have to give it a try! "
"But if the two of you die in Tamago's camp, it will be a devastating blow to our morale. At that time, the enemy will not even need to attack us, we will collapse! Have you ever considered such an outcome? As the commander, I will definitely not allow the two of you to take such a risk! "
The three of them had their own opinions, and continued to argue.
In the deep darkness of the night, in the hazy forest, more than twenty people were like wisps of green smoke as they flitted across the thick snow at high speed, disappearing without a trace in an instant. There were not many traces left behind on the soft snow. Even if one of them left a shallow footprint, it would be buried by the snow in an instant.
Leaving no trace behind! This was the skill of a Xiantian expert!
These people were all Xiantian experts!
There were only twenty of them, but the murderous aura they exuded was like the arrival of the Grim Reaper. Furthermore, there was definitely more than one Grim Reaper! Intimidated by this powerful aura, none of the animals in the forest dared to move or make a sound. Even the ferocious tigers, lions, leopards, and hungry wolves were among them. Without exception, they were all afraid that if they made a move, they would attract disaster. The innate instincts of animals were indeed more outstanding than that of humans …
At the front, Ling Jian's face was grave and stern. With a long sword in hand, he would slash at the trees beside him every time they turned a corner, leaving a white stubble. Under the reflection of the white snow, the white stubble on the black tree was very conspicuous.
But no matter what he did, it did not hinder his figure for even a moment. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
