Information about the battle situation was passed on by countless scouts to their respective commanders, who then issued orders based on the actual battle situation.
The Hubao Battalion, the elite battalion that defeated the Shang Army, performed extremely bravely and now occupies the central area of Western Xinjiang!
The Divine Barracks, four cannon fodder battalions were killed in one battle, but the loss of soldiers was too great, and the Divine Barracks began to retreat!
Tiefengqi, chasing for two hundred miles...
Open the mountain camp, go to the central part of Western Xinjiang, and kill three merchant army camps in a row...
"Kaishan Battalion? Isn't this a... cannon fodder battalion?"
Generally speaking, there is no such thing as a cannon fodder camp among the official titles, but the speaker had a hard time using this term.
After all, the cannon fodder camp is really ugly. Do you think you are a soldier just to be cannon fodder?
It's just that the soldiers in each ordinary battalion often call their own battalion this way. Over time, it becomes a habit, and this habit slowly spreads to the entire army.
The person who said this was Xing Long, the supreme commander in charge of the entire Western Xinjiang war.
Xing Long's ability to sit in Tongde Pass is actually a product of compromise. He himself is extremely powerful, but the family behind him is unknown in the Xia Kingdom. Placing such a figure in Tongde Pass can effectively avoid bias.
Or deliberately suppress it.
Xing Long looked at today's battle report and unexpectedly stopped at the name of Kaishan Camp. If an elite battalion killed three merchant army cannon fodder battalions, it would not be surprising at all. This kind of thing happens every day.
occur.
Kaishan Camp... a small cannon fodder battalion was able to destroy three battalions of the merchant army. This is a very miraculous thing.
Xing Long has never encountered such a thing in all his years as a soldier.
There used to be a cannon fodder battalion in the Xia Kingdom. Because of its outstanding performance and the battalion leader's breakthrough to the warrior realm, he was unwilling to lead other elite battalions. He focused on training his original cannon fodder battalion and gradually developed the cannon fodder battalion into an elite battalion.
But this is a different concept from the Kaishan Camp. Firstly, it turns out that after the leader of the cannon fodder battalion broke through to the warrior realm, he did not abandon his battalion and seek more powerful soldiers. Instead, he used his identity and status to
To arm his own battalion. Secondly, the samurai spent a lot of effort to train his battalion into an elite battalion, and the army also provided strong assistance.
This Kaishan camp is not famous, so how did they manage to kill three merchant armies in a row?
"Kaishan Camp, why do I think this name is so familiar? Their camp leader is..." Xing Long always felt that he had heard of Kaishan Camp there, but he didn't think of it for a while.
"Commander, the leader of this mountain camp is Su Le." The counselor on the side reminded.
"Su Le?" The commander raised his eyebrows.
This name is not unfamiliar to him. It often appeared in front of him a while ago. Su Le is the first guy to become the leader of the camp with the strength of a soldier since the founding of the Xia Kingdom. I heard that he is still very young.
Only seventeen years old.
A while ago, Yang Biao and Zhang Yu got into a fight because of this matter, and the two even got into trouble with him.
Is this Kaishan Camp so powerful?
The commander-in-chief, who had understood, was now very curious.
"Commander, Kaishan Camp's performance is very eye-catching, winning all three battles with the merchant army. What's even more surprising is that Kaishan Camp's losses are quite low. After three battles, the entire Kaishan Camp only lost less than 10% of its fresh troops.
"The counselor continued to report that the data and documents submitted by these counselors were all processed by them.
Filtered, some less important news does not need to be shown to the coach. After all, if the coach has to read through the mountain of news alone, I am afraid that the battle is over, so they all choose the most important news to report, even if Su Le
The defeat of three Merchant Army battalions in a row was reflected in just one sentence on paper.
However, if the commander-in-chief is interested and asks, the counselors will give detailed answers.
"The loss is only 10%? Are you kidding me? Is this guy the God of War?"
Make Xing Long feel like he was cheated.
It is a common practice for lieutenants in the army to exaggerate military achievements. After hearing that Su Le's Kaishan camp defeated three merchant armies in a row, the loss was only 10%. This kind of record was so unbelievable that Xing Long could not believe it.
Xing Long questioned this, and the counselors did not panic.
Those who can serve as counselors around Xing Long are all extremely smart people. When they first saw this data, they also didn't believe it. As the saying goes, on the battlefield, you will injure the enemy by one thousand and injure yourself by eight hundred.
Even if the cannon fodder battalion can win against the cannon fodder battalion, its own manpower will be almost depleted.
However, when an elite battalion faces a cannon fodder battalion, the result is much more optimistic, because the battle between an elite battalion and a cannon fodder battalion is often a one-sided massacre, and it is difficult to encounter organized resistance. But even so, if the elite battalion can attack the three cannon fodder battalions head-on,
The loss of the cannon fodder camp will definitely be greater than 10%.
Just like the Tianbing Battalion, after killing four cannon fodder battalions, its own losses exceeded 30%. It had to retreat and prepare to return to Tongde Pass to recuperate and reorganize. It is feared that it will not be able to return to the battlefield in a short time.
The Kaishan Battalion was able to kill three Merchant Army battalions with the strength of one battalion, but the loss did not exceed 10%. This data is already false.
Regarding such false data, the first reaction of the counselors was that Zhang Yu was helping with the operation. The counselors basically knew the composition of the forces in the army. They also knew that Zhang Yu was behind the Kaishan camp.
Stand up to that Su Le.
So after receiving this kind of news, their first reaction was that Zhang Yu was helping Su Le to forge and exaggerate Su Le's military exploits. But they immediately rejected their idea. The simple reason is that Zhang Yu would not be stupid enough to help Su Le to forge.
This kind of military merit is so fake that people can see through it at a glance. Zhang Yu is not mentally ill.
In view of the strangeness of the news, the counselors specially ordered several people to investigate, but the final results surprised them even more. Not only were Kaishan Camp's achievements not fake, they were even more exaggerated than the previous results.
However, when Xing Long said that Su Le was the God of War, this was obviously sarcasm and disbelief. The counselor quickly explained: "It is not the God of War. I feel that strength and luck are about half and half. In this matter, we
I also found it strange and ordered several commanders to conduct a preliminary investigation. This matter is definitely not exaggerated."
Hearing what the counselor said with certainty, Xing Long let out a "Ha", "I didn't expect that our Xia Kingdom really has such talents. Zhang Yu has a good vision!"
Xing Long was even a little jealous of Zhang Yu's vision.
In Tongde Guanzhong, the Zhang and Yang families each have their own power. Xing Long has been ignored to a certain extent, but it is not true to say that he is ignored, because Xing Long's absolute strength is here, and he can be regarded as a member of Daxia Kingdom.
Root the sea needle and guard the important pass of Tongde Pass.
Since Xing Long did not rely on either side, he could only cultivate his own power. However, compared to the Zhang family, the Yang family, and other scholars and ministers, he was too lonely.
The power of the Zhang family and the Yang family has long been deeply rooted in the army. From the martial arts disciples to the warriors, their people are present, spreading their branches and leaves, and their influence is huge. Although Xing Long is powerful, he is still alone.
How difficult is it to cultivate your own power? Therefore, progress is very slow.
It's just that now Xing Long's interest has completely increased, and he really wants to meet this Su Le.
In the central part of Western Xinjiang, Su Le's Kaishan Camp and Hubao Camp successfully merged.
Su Le's Kaishan Battalion was not the only one following the Haw Par Battalion. There was another cannon fodder battalion after the Haw Par Battalion.
Zhang Yu's mission is to join forces with the other two elite battalions to build a solid obstacle.
Western Xinjiang is a flat land, and Tongde Pass is located in the southwest. If we attack from the center, the distance is the closest, so the central region of Western Xinjiang is the most important. The commander-in-chief issued an order and dispatched three elite battalions and ten cannon fodders.
camp to prevent the merchant army from infiltrating from the central part.
After meeting the Haw Par Camp, Su Le received Zhang Yu's order and stationed himself ten miles away from the Haw Par Camp. As soon as he saw the signal, he would assemble quickly no matter day or night. The other two elite battalions also adopted the same approach.
Focus on strategy, guard one place by yourself, and place three to four cannon fodder battalions dozens of miles away from you.
For two full days, everything was calm in the central part of Western Xinjiang. Before, there were often small groups of cannon fodder battalions, as well as some spies and scouts. However, after three elite battalions including the Tiger and Leopard Battalion were stationed here, there were no more.
Traces of the merchant army.
Although Su Le was at the rear of the entire army, he still smelled something amiss.
Su Le has fully experienced the strength of the merchant army in these battles. The central part of Western Xinjiang is probably the place they must win. They have no reason to play tricks here, such as bypassing from the rear and launching a surprise attack... This
It makes no sense at all.
Such calmness may be the last calm before the storm.
Su Le's guess was correct. On the third day, the drums started ringing.
Since the last time the Qi Bing Ba Ba Array was destroyed, the soldiers of the Xia Army had not heard the sound of the drum for a long time.
The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi Drum is a very special weapon. The last time it was used to direct the operation of the Qi Bagua Formation, so it was just to pursue the propagation range of the sound and did not put the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi Drum into use in the war. But this time it will not
Same.
The first person to come into contact with the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi Drum was Xia Jun's Youlong Camp.
Youlong Camp is an ordinary cannon fodder battalion. At this time, Youlong Camp responded to the call for elite battalions and was stationed at the forefront.
The treatment of cannon fodder is also different. Youlongying also knows very well that they are in the most dangerous position. Once they encounter the merchant army, they are about to face the first wave of attacks. Everyone, whether it is the camp leader or the soldiers, is very concerned from top to bottom.
Be cautious and always pay attention to any disturbance.
Most of them were very pessimistic. If assigned to this place, the mortality rate would probably exceed 90%. They guessed wrongly because the mortality rate in Youlong Camp reached a rare 100%.
When they remembered the sound of the first drum, everyone in Youlongying suddenly felt their hearts tighten.
