"My unit has been ordered to take over your defense line for three days. Chinese brothers, you are really... tsk tsk, go down and rest. It's true that you were beaten like this by the barbarians... You go and rest. Next, watch our performance."
During the short truce period, on the position of the third battalion led by Su Ping, the soldiers were silently maintaining their guns or taking a nap, but an arrogant voice sounded behind them.
Looking back, a lieutenant colonel of the Nanyang Army rushed into the position with a large group of uniformed troops. He looked at Su Ping, and then glanced at the trenches in tattered clothes, like a group of refugees, and tired as if they were about to die of exhaustion.
The Chinese soldiers shook their heads and sighed.
He proudly looked at his army. They had bright armor and bright guns. They were full of energy and marching vigorously into the trenches. Compared with them, the Chinese army was simply a bunch of people suppressed by the barbarians.
He was beaten severely on the ground, and the beggar was beaten until he had a black nose and a swollen face.
…
He looked at the Chinese captain in front of him again, a hint of pride and arrogance suddenly rising in his eyes.
"Captain, my department has been ordered to take over your defense line for three days. Do you understand?"
He stretched out his hand wearing white gloves to straighten Su Ping's collar and said with a proud smile.
"Look, look, as an imperial officer, captain and company commander, how did you end up like this? Tsk tsk tsk tsk, no, no, you must go down and take a rest. Not only do you lose the face of your empire,
, it’s simply a disgrace to us humans.”
He kept patting the dust off Su Ping's body, but covered his nose with his other hand, as if he was smelled by the pungent smell of war and blood on Su Ping's body. He finally looked at Su Ping, full of sympathy.
said to him.
"Can you guys do it? You have to be careful, the barbarians are really not that easy to deal with." Su Ping didn't seem to have the slightest intention to fight back against the other party's arrogance, he asked in a tired voice.
…
"Hey, your army has been defending for so long, and we are at least 100,000 strong. You are just a disabled battalion. We are a full regiment, can't you? Humph, you have all been beaten into a bunch of beggars, so don't
Are you coming to question our combat effectiveness? Captain, in front of a lieutenant colonel, please maintain some due respect and dignity as an officer? Now, take your soldiers and withdraw immediately."
The lieutenant colonel immediately said angrily, and even looked at the Chinese soldiers lying around in the trenches, covered in gunpowder smoke and dust, with disgust. He waved his hand with disdain and ordered to Su Ping.
"I hope so." Su Ping looked at the lieutenant colonel in silence for a long time again, and he replied coldly and tiredly.
"Brothers! Come with me to retreat and rest!"
He shouted with all his strength, and a large number of people suddenly stood up in the trench. They were scarred and in a daze. They supported each other and slowly retreated down the hill.
Su Ping silently glanced at the lieutenant colonel, who saluted coldly, then turned around and left.
…
"Sir, can we do it? I heard that the barbarians are very fierce and cruel." The lieutenant colonel looked at his army with a proud face as he handed over the defense line to the Chinese people. It produced a pleasing and sharp contrast.
, nodded with great satisfaction.
An officer who looked like a staff officer next to him asked with a hint of timidity.
The lieutenant colonel frowned and glanced at him reproachfully, but there was also a hint of resentment between his eyebrows.
"I can't help it. I don't want to fight either, but can I not fight?"
He shrugged and spread his hands, saying helplessly.
"To the west, the Alliance and the Horde were beaten to death by the barbarians, and we are finally relieved now. Originally, we were not panicking, so why would we live far away? What does it have to do with us? But to the east, China in front of us is also
We are tied up by the west, and we keep attacking and losing blood. Once they fall, can our Merchant Alliance fight against the barbarians? Don't be ridiculous! So, everyone should use some snacks and fight hard."
He warned his staff and the soldiers around him solemnly.
…
"The commander-in-chief has also made great determination this time. He will lead us to fight a good battle to compare with the Chinese people and let them see our strength and our sacrifice for them - this is also to prepare for the future and avoid unnecessary trouble.
Their Southwest Army Corps always bullies us."
"So this time, everyone should really get serious and fight a good battle to show others! The commander said that if we perform well in this battle, everyone will be promoted to at least three ranks after returning home, and the bounty will be at least 200,000 per person.
, with a little bit of military exploits, the flowers and beauties will come rolling in with money!"
The lieutenant colonel said with an impassioned face.
"The Chinese Empire has also made a promise to us. As long as we work hard enough this time, sacrifice our soldiers' families, and the troops with outstanding performance, and even collectively obtain their alien nationality - then we can walk around the world."
"Not to mention anything else, are you afraid that those guys in the army who don't have Chinese foreign nationality would dare to beat us when we return to China to gamble and become cheaters? Go to the imperial consulate and tell us that the Chinese people have a protective temper towards their own citizens. You haven't seen it yet.
Have you seen it before?”
The lieutenant colonel said proudly, which immediately caused a sensation among the Nanyang soldiers.
…
"Fuck, let's do it! This deal is worth doing! The odds are so high, so I'm betting on life! I mean, life is indeed a good thing, but if you don't have money to spend it, what can you do with your life?"
The staff officer next to him who initially raised the question was stunned, and said with a ruthless expression on his face.
"You kid, I knew you couldn't bear to gamble."
The lieutenant colonel immediately looked at him and smiled with a very similar expression on his face.
"Okay, let's get into the position first and take your positions. After the battle, if you win the bet, I will give you three days off and then I will take you to have some fun."
He said with a proud smile.
Upon hearing this, the Merchant Alliance soldiers' screams of excitement immediately echoed throughout the battlefield that was soaked in the blood of Su Ping and others.
…
"Battal Commander, can they do it? There is a smooth road behind our defense area. If we fall here, it will be the result of mobilizing our whole body."
Among the Chinese troops who were silent in the position, Du Wanqing and Zhou Yibin supported each other and staggered beside Su Ping, and they were also saying with doubts on their faces.
"It should be possible...it's a regiment, and the superiors are really using them very carefully. If this doesn't work, then the empire might as well not use them to waste food. And if you think about it, our military strength is already tight.
That's great, if you ask them to come and don't trust them, then why do they come?"
Su Ping thought for a while and replied.
"Fortunately, they are so proud of their regiment taking over our battalion's position. Do they really think the barbarians are so easy to fight?"
As he spoke, he suddenly shook his head coldly.
"It will be easier for them if we stay for a while. Everyone, hurry up and go back to rest. I'm afraid we will have to come back soon."
He murmured lowly.

"Oh, the defense zone of the Third Army of the Goddess Guards, to which the Chinese 38th Division belongs, has been taken over by an army that doesn't look Chinese for a whole day? It seems to be continuing? Suspected to be Nanyang people?"
Long Er looked at the messenger in front of him with interest.
"Impossible...how did the Nanyang people appear on the Chinese front?"
The divine envoy beside him suddenly asked with fright and anger.
"Of course the Chinese are coming. I guess it's time for them to ask for help. Lord God Envoy, please don't worry. This situation is within my plan."
Longer smiled.
…
"Yes, two adults. They are the Nanyang army. They seem to have nearly 100,000 people. However, according to the feedback from the Fifth Army Corps we faced, they are large in number, but their combat effectiveness..."
The barbarian messenger replied respectfully. At the end of the sentence, he shook his head in disdain.
"They seem to be more powerful than the Chinese. After all, they have almost twice as many people. But if they really fight and are eaten by force, they are just a huge group of trash compared to those crazy Chinese."
.”
"So, the commander of the Fifth Army asks for your tactical guidance. Do you want to--"
Before the messenger finished speaking, Long Er stood up overjoyed.
"certainly!"
His expression began to become cheerful.
"Order the Fifth Army to follow the preparatory plan I gave them and not to relax their attacks in other areas. But quietly mobilize their troops and prepare for a full blow in the Nanyang defense area!"
He stood up suddenly and said proudly.
…
"Hmph. Chinese people, under the disadvantage of military strength and being blocked by the left and the right, you finally began to be unable to bear it, and gradually showed your flaws... Nanyang people? Humph, when we were in the west, the Nanyang legion, but give me
It left a wonderful, deep impression..."
He murmured and sighed.
"I'm really curious, how could the Chinese be so stupid as to bring the Nanyang people there? Don't they know it would be very dangerous?"
The envoy looked at Long Er with a curious face and asked with a smile.
"This is the purpose and significance of my full-line oppressive attack - even though the casualties are heavy, it can force them to use their final strength in the fastest time. Along with this, there are also many flaws!"
Long Er said with a deep smile.
…
"And just now, they are exhausted and have begun to have no choice - they can't use such a large army? No? Then they will die faster, let alone other positions. Do you think they are the goddess?
How long can the most tenacious army of the Guards Corps be able to hold on? Reinforcements have appeared in other positions more or less, but their army, huh, fights to the death without retreating or saying a word, it is really tough."
Long Er snorted angrily and said angrily. Then, a hint of joy appeared on his face.
"Now, they may have sent out all their reserves and have nothing left to send. Naturally, they can only hope that their batch of reinforcements can be used to the fullest."
He said with a proud smile.
…
"They are prudent enough and let nearly 100,000 people defend the defensive area of an army - but what's the use? You know, even if the number of dozens of hungry wolves is small, they are worthy of being treated with extreme caution.
But a few hundred sheep? What’s the use of more? Just a few more bites..."
"I originally thought that our full-line attack would have to last at least a few more days before we could force the Chinese to reveal their flaws. Although these losses are all worth it, the loss of every barbarian warrior makes me heartbroken."
"But the Chinese people... what should I say? Due to a strange combination of circumstances, this gift makes me really happy."
He shook his head and sighed, but then began to stare at the map in front of him and meditate again. His eyes began to shine with an extremely sinister and proud light. (To be continued...)
