Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 150

While deciding to attack the Nanguan Camp, the Green Fox King also ordered the Fox Demon Army to guard the Hulao Pass to the death, and must hold back the main force of the Qingqiu Mansion so that they could not return to help.

In the thinking of the Green Fox King, it is impossible for the six thousand demon fox army not to be able to defend the Hulao pass.

I am very relieved.

The next day, the Leopard Demon Army resolutely launched the second division, the most violent round of offensive since the two sides fought, and invested all their troops, posing a decisive battle.

Caught off guard, the Second Division was beaten back steadily, with heavy casualties, and had to retreat the defense line again and again, giving up the entire XC area.

In this day alone, more than a thousand people from the Second Division were killed, and countless civilians were killed or injured. The entire XC area was completely reduced to ruins, with broken walls and houses burned down to the skeleton.

Black smoke billows.

That night, the Second Division held an emergency military meeting.

All the generals agreed that the Leopard Demon Army was going to fight desperately, and if the fight continued like this, the Second Division would be disabled and had to change its strategy.

For this reason, the generals quarreled together.

Some suggested withdrawing from Viper County, retreating to Yiyi City, and defending the strong city;

A sense of pessimism permeated the headquarters.

Division commander Peng Yulin was indecisive, and it was difficult to make a decision at the moment. There was a lot of noise, and the military discussion continued until the early morning of the next day, but no result was reached.

At this moment, the spies came to report that the Leopard Demon Army had retreated overnight.

"what's going on?"

The generals looked at each other, just kidding, this is, they felt that they were being played like monkeys by the monster clan.

Peng Yulin breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and said, "I'm afraid something happened to the rear of the Yaozu?" He had a vague premonition that Qingqiu Mansion might have made a move.

That's fine, let Qingqiu Mansion do the trick.

After defending Viper County, although there were heavy casualties, he finally had an explanation to the court. Peng Yulin couldn't help but feel distressed when he thought of the dead and injured elite.

This battle crippled the Second Division, with a total of more than [-] casualties.

…………

March [-]th, Nanguan Camp.

In the large tent of the Chinese army, Qian Yuan looked dignified, with two battle reports on his desk.

One was sent by someone sent by Xue Rengui, and at the same time he notified the results of the battle of Zhigu, he also reported the plan to ambush the Man Niuguan Fox Demon Army.

The other was sent by the black-clothed guard, saying that the leopard demon army suddenly withdrew from Viper County overnight, and judging from its marching route, it seemed that it was heading for the Nanguan Camp.

Looking at the two battle reports together, the situation is already very clear.

The Leopard Demon Army's revenge is coming!

"Your Highness, do you want to recall the expeditionary force urgently?" Hua Xiong asked.

Right now, only two fierce generals, Xu Chu and Hua Xiong, followed Qian Yuan. Xu Chu basically did not participate in military discussions, and Hua Xiong was the only one who could negotiate.

"Not right." Qian Yuan shook his head.

Guo Jia's ambush plan was very good, wouldn't it be a failure to recall the army now?Just killing four thousand fox demon troops will not achieve the goal of deterring the demon clan.

Qian Yuan has a big appetite.

"Then we can only retreat to Nanguan County. At least there is still a city wall to defend. Don't be afraid of His Highness's jokes. With the Nanguan camp alone, the general has no confidence to defend it." Although Hua Xiong is fierce, he is by no means stupid.

According to the Black Clothes Guard's report, after the fierce battle, the Leopard Demon Army still has more than [-] troops, which is twice the size of the defenders of the Nanguan Camp.

Most importantly, the Fourth Brigade is still a completely new army.

If it was just like this, Hua Xiong would not be cowardly, the worst would be to fight to the death, but His Highness is still in the camp, so Hua Xiong has to be scruples.

His Highness, if something goes wrong, Hua Xiong will die.

Qian Yuan still shook his head, "I can't withdraw. As I said, we must never let the Yaozu set foot on the land of Qingqiu Mansion again." Once they evacuate, Nanguan County will suffer again.

This is not Qian Yuan's stubbornness, or the benevolence of women.

Why could Qianyuan establish such great prestige in the fiefdom and make the mountain people voluntarily come down to settle down?By the way, isn't it a great achievement against the demon clan? !

If you retreat at this time, the trust and confidence you have built up with great difficulty before will collapse, and it will be extremely difficult to stand up again.

People cannot stand without faith.

The trust of the people is the hearts of the people, and if the hearts of the people are lost, everything will end.

It is said that war serves politics, and Qianyuan, as the lord of the fief, must view war from a higher perspective, not just from the tactical level.

Sometimes, some sacrifices may seem silly, but are necessary.

Hua Xiong was really in trouble now, he gritted his teeth and said: "Since this is the case, please withdraw first, and this place will be handed over to the last general. Since the last general is still alive, the Yaozu don't even think about crossing the Nanguan Camp .”

He was ready to fight and die.

Qian Yuan smiled, "It's not that tragic, I'm not going anywhere, just stay in the camp." It's not Qian Yuan's style to run away, he can't do such a thing.

"Your Highness!!!"

Hua Xiong was really in a hurry.

The five big and three rough people, who blow their beards and stare, are very funny.

Qian Yuan smiled and said: "The situation is not that bad. I will order Xu Rong to lead the city defense battalion to come for reinforcements. The second brigade is also on the way back. Once the ambush plan is successful, the situation of the war will change drastically. We All you have to do is stick to it for three to five days, are you confident? Or do you not have confidence in the Fourth Brigade?"

It is better to send generals than to provoke generals.

Sure enough, when Qian Yuan said this, Hua Xiong's blood immediately surged, "Of course the general has confidence. The fourth brigade was brought out by the general, and it is by no means inferior to other troops."

"Then prepare for battle!" Qian Yuan said firmly.

"As ordered!"

Hua Xiong took a deep breath, turned and left.

…………

After retreating from Viper County, the Leopard Demon Army started to march in a hurry.

Although the Qinghu King was furious, he still had a sliver of reason. He knew very well that the main force of Qingqiu Mansion would return soon after receiving the news, and there was not much time left for the Leopard Demon Army.

It's just a time difference.

Viper County was originally adjacent to Nanguan County. That afternoon, the leopard demon army appeared on the border of Nanguan County, and the vanguard troops even pulled out the outposts set up by Qingqiu Mansion on the border early.

War is imminent.

If possible, the Green Fox King would like to launch an attack immediately.

This is of course impossible.

That night, the leopard demon army set up camp less than ten miles away from the Nanguan camp, and they came fiercely.

At the same time, after receiving the order, Xu Rong did not dare to be negligent, and immediately led his troops to the Nanguan camp. He had to arrive before the war started.

Once the Leopard Demon Army sealed off the camp, everything would be meaningless.

The cement road built by Qingqiu Mansion has done a great job this time. The unimpeded road allowed the city defense battalion to march all the way quickly. Even at night, with the moonlight and torches, they can pass without hindrance.

Xu Rong didn't dare to rest at all, and even ate dinner while walking.

Finally, before dawn, Xu Rong led the city defense battalion to the Nanguan camp, and quietly joined the camp's garrison under the cover of night.

As soon as they entered the camp, the soldiers fell asleep and took the time to replenish their strength.As veterans, everyone knows in their hearts that tomorrow will be a bitter battle, and any negligence may result in death on the battlefield.

…………

The next day, the morning sun rose.

The leopard demon army was dispatched, mighty and mighty, like a black line, appearing on the distant horizon.

The Nanguan camp is located in a small valley with only one exit to the outside world. The temporary wooden camp wall is no different from tofu dregs in front of the demon army.

If you stay in the camp, you are likely to be dumped by the enemy.

Instead of sitting in the camp and waiting to die, it is better to take the initiative to attack.Therefore, almost at the same time as the leopard demon army was dispatched, the fourth brigade of the security division stationed in the camp also left the camp one after another to line up in front of the valley.

Waiting for the leopard army to arrive.

Arranged at the forefront of the team is the city defense battalion led by Xu Rong, which is also the vanguard of this battle.

This is considering that the Fourth Brigade is on the battlefield for the first time after all. If there is no old army at the forefront, if there is a mistake, it is likely to collapse across the board.

Hua Xiong is also a veteran, so naturally he has no objection to this.

As for the personal guard battalion led by Xu Chu, as the most elite unit in the battalion, it was placed on the flanks, serving as the reserve force of the whole army, waiting for opportunities.

Once the personal guard battalion needs to be dispatched, it means that the war has reached its worst time.
