Chapter 259 Wrath of the Green Dragon (11)
On the outskirts of the Two Arms Mountain, in the makeshift command post of Carter's army, Gesheri, the deputy marshal of the Snake Kiss Legion, was in a meeting with his men. The current grim situation is being discussed!
"Ladies and gentlemen!" Gesheri said to several of his subordinates in a deep sorrow: "Obviously, we have fallen into the trap of the Blue Dragon Legion, and they have long found out that Long Geya is our man, and now that poor guy is hanging on the head of the Blue Dragon City! Our marshal has fallen into the hands of the Han people like us, and judging from the fact that his personal seals and letters have been used, the marshal himself may have encountered an accident! We are now suffering from the enemy on our backs! There are hundreds of thousands of troops in the Blue Dragon City in the back, and there are troops from other places in the Han Dynasty in front of us. In front, on our way home, we blocked the four most elite divisions of the Blue Dragon Legion! Our army ran out of dry food, and the enemy behind us was not far away, but there was only one way for us to survive! That is, to open the two-armed mountain pass at all costs!" Gesheri's last words almost roared out with rage!
"Yes!" although the division commanders under him shouted loudly, their eyes were all weak. Gesheri, of course, understood their thoughts, and surrendered if it was a big deal, anyway, the Blue Dragon Legion had never done anything to kill prisoners. It's a big deal to spend a little more ransom, and you can always save yourself!
"What I need to remind you is not to fight the idea of surrendering!" Gesheri was worthy of being a battle-hardened veteran, and he said coldly to his subordinates: "Do you know how the Legion Commander personally dealt with Long Xiaotian? To tell you the truth, His Excellency the Legion Commander used the 'Ten Thousand Poisonous Blood Curse'!"
"Ahh
"Up to now, none of the strongmen in history who have been hit by it have escaped the doom of being cursed to death, I don't think Long Xiaotian can create a miracle! Think about it, how will Long Qingyun, who is about to lose his father at such an age, deal with us! Everyone knows that he has never been a soft-hearted person, otherwise he would not have killed people at the age of three! Moreover, he even destroyed the Papal Palace for the sake of being a maid. God knows what he's going to do for his father?" Gesheri sneered, "If I can't go back, I'd rather die in battle than fall into his hands." Otherwise, I am afraid that our best treatment in the future will be to sit on a sharpened stake until we die!
"Your subordinates are willing to die to open the passage!" everyone immediately shouted with high morale. They were all scared out of a cold sweat, but finally, under the ** of survival, they aroused boundless fighting spirit! So, when the sky was just dawning, the 300,000 Carter army began to fight for the two-armed mountain pass.
Yesterday, Poor Dao also did not sleep all night, and Christina, the dead girl, flew away on her own, despite my dissuasion, after the surrender was completed. It made my desire to do two things with her connection completely ruined! In desperation, I had to set up my own defenses. The two-armed mountain stretched for more than 50 miles, and since there were still more than 100,000 Carter prisoners on the path, the depth of my defense was reduced to less than 30 miles! I divided these 30 miles into two parts, the front and the back, and defended them separately. The first part was about twenty miles deep, and was defended by the 1st, 3rd, and 4th divisions, each of which was about five miles wide!
The 5th Division was responsible for the second half of the defense. According to my account, they have been logging at the junction of the front and rear parts since yesterday. And throw all the wood you cut down to the front half.
After everything was ready, Poor Dao personally went to the front line to command. As soon as dawn dawned, I heard the sound of war drums in the distance. Hurriedly put the radar out. Through the eyes of the radar, I could see that Carter's army in front of the mountain had 200,000 infantry, densely packed and neatly arranged. Behind the formation were 100,000 cavalry. As the battle flag of Carter's Chinese army on behalf of the general attack was slowly raised, hundreds of thousands of troops rushed to the two-armed mountain pass where the Blue Dragon Regiment was stationed together.
The sun had just risen. They attacked from west to east, inevitably being blinded by the sun. If their vision is not clear, their movements will be slow, and this will become their nightmare! Because, before they could go up to the mountain, countless crossbow arrows were shot out of the trees in the mountain, and they were really like flying locusts, covering the earth! Although Carter's soldiers used shields one after another, there were too many of them, and they still fell in pieces! The Carter army was not easy to mess with, they raised arrows to fight back, and the screams of the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Legion sounded from time to time in the trees, but after all, we had cover, so the number of casualties was far less than Carter!
After the baptism of arrows, Carter's army still stubbornly approached the trees and fought all the way up with the help of the large number of people! At this time, the differences between the various commanders were discerned.
The commander of the 1st Division, Kabat, was a brave defender, and he was not accustomed to fighting defensive battles, and after seeing Carter being robbed of momentum by the intensive shooting of crossbow arrows, he rode out with his guards without saying a word, and as soon as he came up, he came a surprise counter-charge! His move was so unexpected that even I didn't expect him to hide 5,000 war horses in the trees, and he chose this time to suddenly kill, this trick is really beautiful!
Carter's tens of thousands of infantry were completely scattered by his thousands of cavalry in his defensive area! After Kabat led the crowd on a rampage and killed Carter's infantry in pieces, he ran back into the mountains and forests before the cavalry came to help! Although his losses were not small, at least 2,000 men and horses were beaten down by the others during the retreat of the charge and the retreat, but compared with the fruitful results, this loss was really insignificant! It seems that although the commander of the 1st Division, Kabat, looked rough on the outside, but in fact he was a man of thick and fine colors.
Shi Hu, the commander of the Third Division, was born as a thief, and what he was best at was arranging traps in the mountains and forests. After Carter's troops rushed to his defense area and attacked it, almost no one from the Third Division showed up, but just let go of the cold arrows!
After the Carter army entered the forest, they found that there was a place more terrible than hell! Either sharp wooden thorns would suddenly appear under their feet, or cold arrows controlled by mechanisms would shoot from time to time next to them! The most annoying thing was biological traps, such as hibernating snakes, which were dug up by the people of the Third Division, and then wrapped them in warm skins and put them in the traps. According to later statistics, Carter's casualties in this attack alone amounted to 10,000! And most of them were wounded in the trap, at least in the shortest possible time, they were considered to have lost their combat effectiveness!
It seems that the commander of this Shihu Division is definitely an eclectic talent! Although his tactics are rather dirty, among all the three defense areas, he has the fewest casualties, but he has the most results!
Ford, commander of the Fourth Division, was from a military family, a typical soldier with a pure face! His tactics were also very distinctive. In his defense area, he cut down a section of the hillside in advance, leaving not even the roots, and artificially created a bare slope of about 100 meters. When Carter's army charged, it was slow because of the uphill climb, so he seized the opportunity and shot Carter's soldiers in a big way. When Sergeant Carter finally arrived, he immediately ordered to throw down the rolling log made from the cut down trees.
The trees he made of rolling logs were more than one and a half feet in diameter, several meters long, and weighed several thousand catties, and hundreds of rolling logs rolled down the hillside like this, with amazing momentum and brilliant results!
The other hillside was stained red with blood! Carter didn't give up! They thought that this rolling log was not infinite, so they attacked again, but if they feinted with fewer people, and Fortman didn't let go of the rolling wood at all, and there were too many people, who could bear the loss! The two sides fell into a stalemate for a while.
This kind of battle lasted until noon, and Carter finally withdrew his troops temporarily! Through this attack, at the cost of more than 30,000 casualties, they understood a truth, and it turned out that the people had already planned to this point! After reading the battle report for the whole morning, Gesheri, the deputy marshal of the Snake Kiss Army, was about to cool down! However, he was an old fritter after all, and he had been rolling on the battlefield for decades, at least he had not lost confidence!
"They are well prepared!" said Deputy Marshal Gesheri to his dejected men, "but it is not without any flaws!"
His subordinates immediately perked up and began to look eagerly at Gesheri's expression!
Deputy Marshal Ge nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Look!" He pointed to the map with his finger and said: "The defense range of the Blue Dragon Legion is only fifteen li, remember that it is fifteen li, and all their preparations are within fifteen li.
"Does the deputy marshal mean a detour?" said a division commander.
"Detour! I don't believe it from both sides! He Long Qingtian has the ability to build a trap belt within a radius of hundreds of miles from the two-armed mountain!" Gesheri roared angrily: "After the detour, surround and annihilate them from the side and back! There is no need to even surround them, they are few people, only half of us." As long as they get caught in the jungle melee, they will die!
Gesheri gasped for a few breaths, and then roared angrily: "In the afternoon, it is better to fight them at night and fight for attrition!
"Swear to fight to the death with the enemy!" The generals of the Carter Army were also bloody, and they all held back their strength to fight the Blue Dragon Legion to the end in the afternoon!
