Such a tragic battle situation has never appeared before in all the years of the Western Army's campaigns.
After all, they faced different enemies, and the armies of Dongxuan and Ziyou were fundamentally surprised.
The Ziyou Empire's army has the best individual combat capabilities in the world. However, it has never had the upper hand against the Yutang Army, which has excellent teamwork. The Yutang Western Army, which has always had the upper hand against the Ziyou Army all year round, always feels that Our own combat power is the first in Yutang. Previously, the commander-in-chief of the Western Army had given the order to rush reinforcements to the west to seize the first army of Yutang. However, at this time, after witnessing the battle on the eastern front with their own eyes, the elites on the western front were worried. Suddenly!
Tens of thousands of corpses... But after a battle!
Sun Tzu Hu entered Iron Bone Pass with his head in a daze, but was immediately warmly welcomed by the guard. Fu Baoguo Gengshi personally came to welcome him and entertained him with the highest standards.
Holding Sun Tzu Hu's hand, Fu Baoguo had tears in his eyes.
Iron Bone Pass is really in need of reinforcements right now!
Or it should be said that Iron Bone Pass will always need reinforcements, but currently, the need for this reinforcement is urgent. Without support, Iron Bone Pass will be difficult to hold, and it will be in danger, and it will be destroyed at every turn!
Facing Han Shanhe's fierce attack, Fu Baoguo's 400,000 troops were reduced at a speed that made him heartbroken. There are now less than 250,000 men capable of fighting!
And these 250,000 people also include 150,000 cavalry who cannot participate in defending the city; and 30,000 Fu Baoguo's secret troops.
In other words, there are only 80,000 people left who participate in the daily defense of the city!
Almost every one of these 80,000 people is exhausted and exhausted. They are just trying to hold on and may collapse at any time.
Fu Baoguo's face was pale, his eye sockets were sunken deeply, and he was almost out of shape. He had always paid attention to appearance, but now his face was full of beard and scum, and he looked like a middle-aged uncle in extreme poverty.
However, the murderous aura concealed on his body still proves that Fu Baoguo is still standing up, still persisting, and still abiding by the agreement made by Yu Yunyang that day!
"Commander Fu has worked hard! Sun Tzu Hu led the 150,000 brothers of the Western Army to join the battle. All the reinforcements on the Western Front obeyed the command of Marshal Fu, and they obeyed the orders and prohibitions without any hesitation!"
Those who can become elites in the army are basically veterans. After just one glance at the battlefield, Sun Tzu Hu and the 150,000 Western Army had a considerable understanding of the current battle situation, and they even admired the Eastern Army!
The First Army of the Yutang Dynasty is well-deserved and worthy of its name. There are no empty warriors under the great reputation!
Commander, your wish to let us recapture the Yutang First Army is really slim, at least we don’t have enough confidence!
The battle is always on both sides!
To be able to beat the enemy so badly, one's own efforts are not much better!
"Good job, brothers."
Fu Baoguo smiled warmly and happily: "Brothers have traveled a long distance and the journey has been too hard. Just looking at your clothes speaks volumes. Have a good meal tonight and then go to bed. Don't worry about the war. , everything will be done after you have regained your spirit. I will always need to rely on you in the future, but not now!"
"Yes." Sun Tzu Hu is also a man who knows the military, so he naturally knows that what Fu Baoguo said was sincere and he truly thought about the Western Army.
I led these 150,000 brothers on a rapid march. Although they arrived a day and a half early and their morale was particularly high, their physical strength had reached the limit and everyone was extremely tired. If they reluctantly participated in the war like this, they might just be slaughtered. .
They are not here to help, they are simply here to die!
This night's rest is indeed necessary, it is necessary!
The reinforcements originally traveled such a long distance, plus they had to be familiar with the war, the terrain, and the situation; the entire rest period would take more than two days to fully recover and even integrate.
But Sun Zihu and Fu Baoguo both knew that Hanshanhe would never give them this buffer time!
Sure enough, on the night when the reinforcements arrived, Dongxuan's army, under the command of Han Shanhe, launched another offensive against Tieguguan, and it was an unprecedentedly powerful offensive!
The 300,000 Dongxuan army participating in the battle was divided into six waves by Han Shanhe. They attacked continuously without any gaps, and the sound of fighting was loud.
Fu Baoguo tried his best to divide the defenders into three waves and take turns to attack them; many soldiers were really exhausted to the limit. He was walking while carrying stones... and suddenly he fell to the ground. He wasn't fainting from exhaustion, but he was dead from exhaustion.
Fu Baoguo's face was as solid as iron, and his heart was as solid as iron. He knew that he had to get through this hurdle. If he couldn't get through it, the iron bone barrier would undoubtedly be broken. On the contrary, with the help of the reinforcements from the Western Front, he would be able to survive again. Keep dealing with Han Shanhe!
"Commander, please mobilize the cavalry and the Baoguo Army to help defend the city." Many generals of the cavalry and Fu Baoguo's secret troops came to plead with them, crying: "We can't continue fighting like this! The brothers defending the city are about to die. worn out!"
Fu Baoguo's face was stone-faced: "No! It's time for you to rest now. Go back and sleep! We can still hold it here! You don't need to intervene!"
The faces of the generals of the two elite troops were almost full of tears.
"Brothers can't stand it anymore. Seeing Pao Ze dying in battle, he's so exhausted that he might not be able to hold on any longer... But we eat and drink well every day and sleep without doing anything... Brothers are going crazy. ”
Fu Baoguo said coldly: "Are you going crazy? No, you're not really crazy! Then you have to hold on! When the day comes, it's your turn. If you can't sleep well or have a good rest now, when you are unlucky, don't I blame you for not reminding you! Now, I order: Get out! Even if you are really crazy, there is something that makes you crazy! Get out!"
Several generals left with their heads hanging.
It's not that Fu Baoguo is really determined and doesn't want to use cavalry and secret troops to defend the city, but... he can't!
The line of defense at Iron Bone Pass must be defended.
But facing Han Shanhe's offensive, Fu Baoguo had already made plans in his mind.
Iron Bone Pass, I'm afraid it really can't be defended for much longer. Even if it survives the current level, with the help of reinforcements from the Western Front, the time it can last is still limited. And once the Iron Bone Pass is broken, those 30,000 secret troops and 150,000 cavalry will be the foundation for Fu Baoguo to build another Iron Bone Pass!
If it is wasted to defend the city at this moment... then it is the biggest waste!
The greatest power a cavalry can exert is always on horseback!
Definitely not defending the city!
Sun Tzu Hu took his army and settled in the empty military camp in the city.
These military camps were originally full of manpower, but now, they are empty and there are very few people around!
Seeing the clean and tidy military camp, which was empty; the small tables and chairs in the tent, and the handwriting left by the soldiers; and the fragmentary writing on them, all the 150,000 elite members of the Western Army cried like children.
"On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, I arrived at Tieguguan. Fight for the country. Ten of my colleagues decided on the funeral arrangements. The suicide note and military pay were all settled today. However, none of the brothers thought that they would die, so they laughed all night long."
"On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, the battle started today, but we did not go out to fight. In the afternoon, we saw the bodies of many comrades being brought back and burned. The brothers were silent, and the whole barracks could hear a needle drop."
"On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, we went to battle. Three brothers died in the battle. When we returned to camp here, there were only seven left. We cried a lot."
"On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, two brothers died in the battle. The remaining five people cried loudly again to mourn the dead brothers."
"On the eleventh day of the twelfth lunar month, only Sun Dabiao and I came back. This time, there were no tears. We just wanted to cry without tears. We arranged the memorial tablets for our brothers, took out the money to buy wine, and got drunk all night. We told our brothers Hey guys, don’t go too far, wait for us, we will return to the team later.”,
"On the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Sun Dabiao died in battle..."
There was a small notebook in the camp where Sun Tzu Hu was, which only recorded the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and nothing more after that.
Presumably, in the subsequent battles, the writer also died for his country.
This should be something recorded by a military secretary.
It only took ten days for a team of ten people to arrive here on the third day of the twelfth lunar month until all members died in battle.
Among them, there are still six days when it is not the turn to play.
At the back of the small book, many torn out parts were probably used to write suicide notes by the soldiers.
The last page is the page that says "Sun Dabiao died in battle", and there are a few words on the back.
The handwriting is very messy, and it seems that it was erased after it was written.
Sun Tzu Hu tried his best to distinguish, but when he finally figured it out, he suddenly burst into tears.
Those are four words.
"I want to go home..."
