'Ahh

The terrible screams of the commander of the garrison flag before his death echoed on the riverbank, and in an instant, the riverbank where tens of thousands of people had gathered was silent, and the bloody human head was soon ordered by Hu Keqili to be hung high with a wooden pillar, "Damn. The latest chapter of this book is out, and these Central Army are in earnest! Billis is a flag commander, and he will kill if he says kill!"

Looking at Billis's dead face as white as paper because of excessive fear, with bulging eyes with an expression of unwillingness to die, everyone's faces were a little pale with fright, and a few people who were still thinking about cutting in line, after seeing the human head hanging on the wooden pillar, they all chose to go honestly according to the requirements, and the retreat order became orderly again,

"Ansa, you lead a thousand cavalry to maintain order!" Seeing that all of them were back to normal, Hukochili breathed a long sigh of relief, and only then did he suddenly realize that the Dorok people on the other side of the river showed no sign of attacking,

The Dorok army, which had arrived in the early stages, numbered only about 3,000 men, had lined up a defensive array of guns across the riverbank, and several officers on horseback were looking over and whispering to each other

This group of Dorok people who suddenly appeared is likely to be just the forward force of the Dorok people, and the commander of the other party obviously did not expect that he would run headlong into the group of refugees, although they are an army, but after all, there are only 3,000 people, and the army and civilians crowded on both sides of the river bank add up to more than 100,000, for more than 3,000 Rok soldiers, it is just an ant facing an elephant,

If they are forcibly expelled, the refugees will have to resist desperately. I'm afraid that three thousand Doro people are not enough to see at all, even if it is ten to one, it can trample the Dorok Army to death, rather than this, it is better to put on a posture and let the refugees desperately force the crossing, if it can crush the Falcon Army on the opposite side, it will also be an unexpected gain.

The danger is not great. Hukochili decided to take a look at the Western Legion Headquarters first, and he led the Guards cavalry through the ranks of refugees, surrounded by uneasy civilians with uncertain faces. Seeing that it was a falcon cavalry wearing a red cloak, the refugees consciously moved out of the way, but the speed of crossing was not fast. But after the rectification just now, the previous chaos has improved a lot, and the refugees seem to have found that there are not many Dorok troops behind them, and the order has gradually settled down, although they still seem to be very frightened, but they are no longer blindly following the flow of people

Thirty minutes later, Hukochili passed through the group of refugees to the Western Legion Headquarters stationed on the bank of the river.

"Stop!"

Seeing that it was the uniform of the Central Army, the soldiers guarding the camp naturally let them go after checking their identities. Hukochili unceremoniously went straight to the military tent in the center of the camp, if that guy Croissatt was really here, it was most likely there, and he wanted to ask what this guy Croissart was doing?

"Your Excellency. There seems to be something wrong with the camp!" reminded one of the accompanying squadron leaders in a low voice after entering the barracks

"Well, what's the problem?" Hukochili was stunned for a moment, indeed, he also felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what it was.

"How can the Western Army have such a small number of people? This is a large army of 50,000 people!" The squadron leader looked around, the empty camp tent was almost full of camps, but he rarely saw soldiers, and occasionally saw a few patrols, all of which were less than 30 people, which was completely different from the normal configuration of a patrol team of at least 50 people, and the anomaly in front of him showed that this was probably an empty camp at all

In the vicinity of the central military tent, the number of guards began to increase, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and the number of patrols doubled, so that there was a bit of an atmosphere of the regiment headquarters

Hukochili got off his horse and went straight to the central military tent, and when he saw the corps commander on Hukochili's shoulder, several generals of the Western Army who were standing in front of the central military tent and discussing in a low voice hurriedly turned around,

Their blushing and thick-necked expressions showed that the issue just discussed was not a very pleasant thing, and one of the generals of the Western Army, who knew him, hurriedly straightened up and saluted him, shouting loudly

"Commander Hu Keqili! It's great that you're here! We're at a loss here, it's great to see you!" The Western Army general's tone was filled with unconcealable joy, and several other generals who didn't know him also showed joy on their faces when they heard that it was Hu Keqili, the general of the Central Army

"What's going on? No one cares about the chaos in front of you?What are you legionnaires doing?" Hukochili recognized that the person who saluted him was none other than Krollissat's henchman, Pollard, the commander of the Second Banner of the Western Legion, and the two had worked together in the Battle of Starros.

"Our Legion Commander, he ...... He ......" Pollard's mouth opened, and he didn't say anything for a long time, but his face was ugly and a little pale, and several generals of the Western Army were silent at the same time, as if there was something unspeakable

"Forget it, I'll go in by myself!"

Hu Keqili waved his hand a little impatiently, and the abnormal expressions of these generals made him have an ominous premonition in his heart, is the empty camp tent hiding something?

Sure enough, as soon as the curtain of the central military tent was lifted, the scene in front of him suddenly made Hu Keqili gasp, the whole camp was empty, swarthy, there were no torches, and there was no arrangement, only the whirring sound of the wind hanging in from the tent door, not to mention Crowissat, there was not even a mouse, and the almost blank arrangement around it showed that no one had lived here at all, this was just an ornament

"Bastards, what about the people? What about your regimental commander? Don't tell me that there is no one in there, this is an empty building, even the camp is empty!" Hu Keqi shook his hand angrily, almost did not pull the curtain of the central tent, and his sharp eyes carried the cold air of Sensen, and said sharply, "When is it, you are still hiding it here?"

"This ......" The generals of several Western Corps suddenly turned pale one by one, look at me. I look at you, one by one, your head drooping, and no one gnawed

"The big war is coming, the boss is missing!" Hukochili looked at him with anger in his eyes, raised his finger and pointed to the other side of the river and said, "The Dorok striker has forced to the shore, if you don't want to say it, I'll go and report it to His Majesty the Falcon." I'll just say that Crorysette escaped from the battle, leaving hundreds of thousands of refugees and running away on his own! Even if His Majesty didn't kill him, those refugees who had left home would be able to drown him with spittle."

"Don't. Lord Hukochili, it's not that we want to hide it, it's true that Master Croissette has been missing for a day! It's the adults, and it's probably the Fifth Banner Regiment at the front!"

Hearing that Hukochili was about to report to His Majesty the Falcon, several generals immediately panicked, and the commander of the Second Banner, Pollal, hurriedly took out a letter and handed it to Hukochili, "Because the attack of the Dorok army was too sudden, and cut off the connection between the front line and the rear, the headquarters of the Legion completely lost contact with Lord Crowissat, who was still hunting on the border, and it was not until last evening that we received carrier pigeons from the Fifth Banner Regiment at the forefront,

With the Commander's mark on it, Lord Croissat ordered us to immediately block the Gardisa line and assemble our forces as quickly as possible. It is also said that the Fourth Banner Regiment of the Frontier has been broken up and may even be annihilated, and that the target of the Dorok is likely to be the city of Paraven

Pollar swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his voice stopped before continuing, "But the order to assemble was too hasty, and it was given last night. It is impossible to assemble and reach the destination today, so we can only bluff up the empty camp along the river first, but no one expected that so many refugees would appear in such a short period of time, and everyone is discussing what to do. Your Excellency, you're here!"

"You're saying Croryssatt is stuck on the front lines?"

Hukochi's eyebrows frowned slightly, he couldn't catch up at his own speed, not to mention that the Western Army was scattered all over Palaubun, and it really seemed unrealistic to gather tens of thousands of people in just one or two days, so it was no wonder that the entire camp was so empty, "It should be!" Pollar nodded with an embarrassed face, "We are also deliberating, whether to continue to hold on to the river bank or wait for the troops to assemble, and then advance to the front line to find Lord Crollissat, because of the disagreement, everyone almost quarreled!" Holding on is not the way, but we can only hold on now! At least we have to find out how many enemies there are!" Hukochili nodded and said, "Strategically speaking, holding on is equivalent to abandoning a large area on the other side of the river, but judging from the current situation, such a large flow of refugees is enough to show that the Dorok people have a lot of troops to send out this time, so they can divide their forces to attack, and in just one day, it is possible to cause such a large group of refugees by breaking several cities in a row, and attacking at this time will only be in danger because of the unknown military strength."

"But if you don't rescue the Fifth Banner Regiment, I'm afraid that Lord Crollissat will ......."

When a general of the Western Army heard Hu Keqili's stubborn analysis, a trace of anger flashed on his face, his eyes swept over several other generals, and he said sharply: "We were all brought out by adults, how can we sit idly by and watch at such a juncture? Not to mention that on weekdays, adults treat everyone well, and the commander is trapped, and no one dares to rescue, if it spreads, how can our Western Army raise its head in front of other troops!"

"I didn't say that I didn't care, but we also had to know the enemy's situation! What is the difference between attacking if the situation is not clear and sending you to death!"

"Crollissat is the best at mountain warfare, the border stretches over the mountains and forests, he must have arranged it a long time ago, but you, if you attack without authorization, and lose the Paraven Plain, which countless soldiers have shed blood and sacrificed for, "At that time, even if Crollissat did not die, he could only apologize to His Majesty with death!"

"But......" The general of the Western Army blushed and wanted to continue to defend himself,

"Smack" Hu Keqili took out a letter with a falcon seal from his arms, slapped it heavily on the table at the door of the military tent, and snorted, "Don't fight, on the position, I am the general of the Central Army, on power, this is the text of the Falcon Majesty Xià personally granted me full authority to execute, although you are the Western Army, but even if Croryssatre is here, he has to listen to me now!"

"The big battle is imminent, since Crorysart is not here, you will be under my command for the time being, this is a military order, if there is any disobedience, I can immediately order to be killed on the spot! The people who watched were cold in their hearts, and they talked about it, and several generals of the Western Army also knew what their current situation was, "Yes, my subordinates obey His Majesty's orders!"

Their eyes swept over the seal of the falcon on the table, and finally chose to compromise, and saluted Hu Keqi in unison, "Come." Bring the military map!" Hukochili asked the squadron leader to take out the military map of the Paravon area, and gathered several Western Army generals into empty military tents,

Soon. The Guards lit torches in the tent, and a few benches and a simple wooden table were brought in, which were present in the camp. So it's also very convenient to get it" Time is pressing, so I won't talk nonsense" Hukochili stood at the long table, spread out the map handed to him by the squadron leader on the wooden table, pointed to the middle of the map and said, "The crossing and bridge of the Gadisa River is the only way to Paravon from the northwest, and it is also the gentlest and narrowest area of the entire river section, as long as this crossing is crossed, the Dorok people can go straight to Paravon without resting, so in any case, we must hold this place first." Then you will be able to seek a chance to fight back!"

"But the most important thing for us now, who can tell me how many troops the Dorok have sent this time!" Hukochili looked up and tapped his fingers heavily on the map, his sharp tone causing silence around him.

Several generals of the Western Army looked at the map, and bowed their heads without saying a word, they were so embarrassed that they didn't even know how many enemies there were until now, and they were afraid that they would laugh off the big teeth of many people when they spread it.

"Ahem. I think I probably know how many people Dorok has dispatched!"

It was still the commander of the Second Banner, Pollard, the experienced general coughed dryly, leaned down under the gaze of everyone, and nodded with his hand in several cities west of the Gadisa River, and said to Hukochili

"Although we do not have exact intelligence to know the number of the enemy, these refugees and the battle on the front line are enough to explain a lot, in these 8 cities west of the Gadisa River, our garrison is more than 1,000 people, and the fourth and fifth main flag regiments are also stationed on the border" "But the Dorok people not only broke through the fourth flag regiment on the border in one fell swoop, but also were able to immediately divide superior forces to besiege the fifth banner regiment, and in a very short time break the garrisons of these cities west of the river," We all know that the total strength of the Fourth Banner Regiment and the Fifth Banner Regiment is 17,000 men, and the local garrisons add up to 8,000 men, that is to say, the enemy's troops are three times as many as their combined forces, that is, at least 75,000 men, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to achieve such excellent results!"

"Seventy-five thousand!"

Hearing Pollard's analysis, not only Hukochili's face turned a little pale, but several generals of the Western Army were also shaken, and the grim situation in front of them made everyone silent, and even the general who had previously clamored for an attack chose to remain silent

As the commanders of the Western Army, they were a little helpless about the situation in front of them, because the two main flag regiments on the border were knocked out and divided, and the Western Army that can still be assembled now is at most 30,000 people.

"It seems that we can only hold on first!" Hukochili sighed, although the plan to stick to it was set by him, but as an attacking brave general, there is always some resistance to such a combat method,

"It takes money to stick to it!"

Pollard said to Hukochili uneasily, "My lord, to hold here, you need at least 40,000 people, fighting in this narrow riverbank area, the impact of the Guards cavalry is useless, it can only be used as a reserve counter-assault, even if all our western army arrives, I am afraid that it will not be enough, and I hope that the Central Army can transfer a few more infantry regiments, there should be a chance to hold it!" "Unfortunately, the strength of the Central Army this time is only 4,000 guards cavalry and 13,000 infantry" Facing Pollal's suggestion, Hu Keqili could only smile bitterly at the corner of his mouth, shook his head and said, "This is already the maximum force that our Central Army can send in a short period of time, 4,000 Guards cavalry have already arrived with me first, and the 2 infantry regiments will not arrive until at least tomorrow.

"This battle is not easy to fight, not to mention the hasty battle, and even the fight until now I don't even know how many enemies there are, this is simply a confused battle"

Hu Keqili's ugly voice stopped, and he said in a condensed voice, "And there is another thing that makes people worry,

Such a dense and interlocking plan is enough to prove that there is a very sophisticated and ruthless top commander there is in the Dorok people on the other side!

'Interlocking, barely giving any gaps to fight back,"

"Now that the Dorok have set the ultimate target of Parabun, this attack should come soon"

Hu Keqili's voice stopped, pointed to the map on the table, looked at a few generals with frowning eyebrows, and said, "Before the reinforcements arrive tomorrow, all the troops we can deploy along the river may not even be 20,000 people.

If the Doroks attack with all their might, almost 1 to 4 in terms of troops, that mysterious opponent will definitely not give us much time to prepare.

"If the Dorok people on the other side of the river don't attack, once they attack, it will be like a thunderbolt sweeping the cave and destroying a qiē!"

'1 to 4......" The generals suddenly turned pale, how could this battle be fought ......)
