——At this time, what Yongwu and his generals of the empire, who were still a happy group, did not know was that they had indeed come at the right time, and it was also the time when they would gain the greatest victory.
But they did come late.
The reason why it is said to be just in time is because if they had come earlier, before most of the barbarians had crossed the river, their small force, although powerful, would still be a little weak compared to the barbarians' entire eastern force.
It may not be able to withstand the desperate counterattack of millions of barbarian troops whose retreat is cut off, and it may not be able to withstand the surprise attack of several Xingyao from the barbarian tribe.
But now, most of the barbarian forces surged across the river to surround the Chinese army, while the smaller half were still on the north bank trying to compress the Chinese defense line along the river. This situation dispersed the barbarian forces to the maximum extent, and made the long river behind them become a
The excellent location to prevent their counterattack made them unable to retreat.
…
But the reason why it is indeed late is because if they had come earlier, perhaps the empire would not have suffered so many sacrifices. But it also means that this annihilation war will turn into a chaotic war, a defeat war, and it will not be able to achieve the greatest success.
The result of victory will have a fatal impact on the overall battle situation that follows.
As they speculated on the power of the Empire's Starlight, the strange black and white brilliance in Xiao San's eyes made them all misjudge. No one thought of the goddess's brilliance, but mistakenly thought it was another pioneering work of the Empire's magic technology.
.
In this way, they misjudged the power of the Empire's Star Glory. What they didn't know was that the Empire's Star Glory needed the blessing of the goddess to be on par with the Barbarian War Emperor, but that meant... the aura of the Imperial Army's
lose.
Therefore, the empire's superb power was at a disadvantage under this situation... This ultimately brought about sacrifices and devastation that made us heartbroken.
…
Therefore, I think that if our empire Yongwu could choose at this time, he would definitely choose to come early. Because. That way, he will not lose...
However, God had already given him the most correct choice, telling him to hurry up and slow down, and it appeared at the last and most appropriate time. Perhaps, it also used this ingenuity to tell us that before victory, sacrifice is inevitable.
It's just that sometimes this kind of sacrifice is really... too painful...
Especially to our empire Yongwu.
Especially, when we turn our attention to the imperial army in trouble.
——"Volume 5 of World War II - A turning point in a crazy turn: The Last Battle of Dalinghe"
~~~~~~~~~
"Commander, we can't charge anymore! The troops are almost exhausted!"
On the south bank of the Daling River, far behind the No. 8 defensive area. In the silence, an officer was crying and hissing in front of He He, who was covered in blood.
"Damn! You don't need to teach me!"
He Xu was furious. This general, who was famous for his bravery and calmness in the empire, seemed a little at a loss in front of others for the first time.
"Empire Demonic War! Attack! Attack!"
He raised his knife and shouted in a hissing voice.
Following his order, the thousands of demon warriors sitting or lying around He He stood up silently, and the nearly 10,000 demon-armed soldiers following closely behind them stood up.
…
They were covered in blood, and they tried their best to hold back the painful moans caused by the large and small wounds on their bodies. They pulled out their knives, picked up their guns, and looked at their commander silently.
He Xu was also looking at them, looking at his group of subordinates who had survived one futile attack after another, looking at their faces that were covered with blood and fatigue. Looking at them with scars, it seemed that they would be injured the next time they clashed with the barbarians.
Unable to support his body and collapsed, he suddenly burst into tears.
"The position is lost...the troops are almost gone...no matter how hard we try, we can't get it back..."
he murmured.
Suddenly, he raised the knife across his neck and was about to pull it——
…
"Commander!"
Several division-level officers who were close to him rushed forward crying and snatched his knife away.
"Commander, what's wrong with you? What are you doing? We haven't been defeated yet! This is none of your business! We will collapse without them! We can't hold on! This is none of your business! Our troops are too strong
You’re weak! There’s nothing you can do about it!”
They cried one after another.
"Why it's none of my business... I shouldn't have let the Nanyang people go up... Who knew they were so useless? Who knew they were so useless... It's over now. We will all become sinners of the empire.
, sinner..."
He Xu murmured, and he suddenly hugged his head and began to cry deeply.
Looking at their commander crying bitterly, the nearly ten thousand imperial soldiers around him were also choked with tears.
…
The traces of the war were already evident on this group of steel warriors of the empire. None of them were uninjured, but none of them did not assume a posture of about to attack. They stood silently, looking at their commander and looking to the east.
direction.
There, the barbarians have built a tenacious defense line to prevent them from joining the large army.
Behind that line of defense, the empire was surrounded by... a million-strong army.
"Empire Demonic War..."
In the silence, a division commander suddenly wiped away his tears and shouted in a low voice.
"attack!"
A thunderous roar sounded behind him again, awakening He Xu from crying.
He watched with misty eyes as a black torrent surged past him.
"Empire Demonic War, attack!"
He Xu shouted loudly, picked up the knife, and merged into the scarred vast torrent.
~~~~~~~~~
"Sir, the magic field blockage suddenly disappeared. I have ordered them to quickly issue orders to all troops to retreat and shrink the troops along the river defense line."
The voice of a staff officer was echoing lowly in the headquarters of the former Chinese enemy.
The atmosphere in the command hall is very gloomy, and the cloud of failure has shrouded the hearts and faces of every imperial officer. However, it is not the time to cry yet, the war is still going on, and the front lines are bleeding hastily.
After calming down from the initial panic, although everyone was filled with panic, they were still trying their best to fight for... the last moment - hoping that a big victory would come from the west, or... a miracle would happen.
time.
"How can the barbarians allow us to communicate smoothly?"
A pale-faced officer asked in low confusion.
…
"There are advantages and disadvantages to allowing our magic field communication to be smooth. Now, the advantages obviously outweigh the disadvantages. It was a little trick after Long Er's victory. They probably have completely cut off our retreat. Now, they want to make every place on the battlefield and even
Everyone in the rear knows that our retreat has been cut off. This is just a psychological warfare method to make us shake and collapse as quickly as possible."
Xia Tian murmured.
"We shouldn't trust those Nanyang people..."
A staff officer's expression was full of gloom, and he said in a low voice.
"If we don't trust them, we will collapse. It's not our fault, it's not the command's fault, it's not even the fault of the Nanyang people. In the final analysis, our troops are too weak, and Long Er used a clever pressing attack.
The tactics forced us to use our full potential, leaving us unable and unable to respond in time. The Nanyang people were probably caught off guard and encountered a heavy blow from Long Er who had been sharpening his sword for a long time and waited for us to reveal our flaws."
Xia Tian said in a deep voice behind him.
…
"Now, although we have lost the geographical advantage we can rely on and are surrounded, the situation will be even more difficult. But we are not defeated yet! We still have millions of soldiers in the encirclement, and the barbarian encirclement is not enough to defeat us ten times.
If we want to leave despite the siege, we can still leave, even if we suffer heavy losses."
"And as long as the west makes a breakthrough in the near future, the empire will certainly suffer heavy losses. But after the barbarians lose the main force of the western continent, they will be unsustainable! So, everyone cheer up, the million-strong army still needs our coordinated command! We
Now we need to shrink our defenses and resist desperately, trying to prolong the time when the barbarians encircle and annihilate us, or when we are really unable to survive and have no choice but to break out, in order to... exchange for a chance of victory!"
"The longer we delay, the more hope there may be for the west!"
He said decisively.
…
"You are right..."
The staff officer was shocked when he heard this and murmured.
Xia Tian's expression was full of determination and compassion.
"It just so happens that it's time to prepare the empire...in case...the children have to go first!"
"And we should also let the west know. We have tried our best, and if they don't make a breakthrough... Humanity, it's over! It's time for them to get results!"
"But I'm afraid that the barbarians will use their super-level power to launch a surprise attack... Now the decisive battle can be fought, and apart from the headquarters defenders, we probably don't have any force to assist Xingyao in attacking the barbarian surprise war emperor..."
A staff officer murmured.
…
"Yes, and the safety of His Highness will be the key - we can barely compete with the barbarians because of her. Even if we shrink the defense line now, if something goes wrong with her, we will definitely be in a more difficult situation and will be on the verge of collapse!"
Another staff officer said suddenly as if he had woken up.
Xia Tian's face suddenly froze, and his expression darkened.
"But we have no other choice but to grit our teeth and hold on..."
With his expression changing unpredictably, he gritted his teeth and said.
As he spoke, he gave a serious order to a staff officer behind him.
…
"Order Your Highness's bodyguards to be on guard and prepare for barbarian raids! If... Your Highness can decide whether to retreat. No matter what, she cannot die here - we can die, but Your Highness represents humanity in heaven and on earth.
A unique ray of hope.”
"As long as humanity exists forever, as long as the battle on this planet has not stopped, she will spread the brilliance of victory and hope everywhere. We cannot let her be dragged to death by us!"
Xia Tian said slowly, causing the crowd in the hall to nod.
Then, his expression became solemn.
"Send a report to the empire, to the whole world: the Nanyang reinforcements were defeated in a bizarre manner without warning. The barbarians gained a breakthrough and surged across the river. The millions of troops on the front line of our empire have been deeply encircled and are about to shrink their defenses and fight to the end! May the heroic souls of our ancestors
Bless us - long live the empire, long live China, long live mankind!"
…
Xia Tian's sonorous words had just landed, and a strange sharp buzzer sounded throughout the headquarters. Immediately afterwards, fierce gunshots also sounded crazily everywhere.
The crowd was startled.
"Air raid alert!"
"The Barbarian War King's decisive battle raid!"
The two staff officers suddenly shouted at the same time.
Xia Tian hurriedly walked out of the command hall, raised his eyes and looked into the air. The dense streamer bullets had already exploded with violent halos of magic energy in front of dozens of streamer figures in the air, but they were ignored by the figures as if they were leisurely strolling.
Either dodge lightly or swipe it away with ease.
"Finally I found you! The Great Barbarian War Emperor led the Cangqiong War Generals to visit the Chinese ants. At the same time, we were also ordered to take your damn woman... to show it to our Lord God Envoy."
A wild laugh was already ringing in the air. (To be continued...)
