Bu 3rd Camp and Jian 5th Camp are not far apart.
Not long after, the messenger who had just left came running back with his body bent.
However, there was a bitter look on his face.
"What's going on?" Hao Youduo's heart skipped a beat, "What's going on at Bu San Camp?"
"Go back to the general," the soldier hesitated, "Chief Jiang Qian said...said..."
"say what?"
"Chief Jiang Qian said that the military order he received was to hold his position and not retreat."
Hao Youduo was stunned. It took him a long time to react, and he was stunned with anger.
"Damn it, has this bastard been weaned?"
He pointed tremblingly at the Japanese pirates who were in a chaotic mess in front of him.
"The general is out there, but you still have some issues with your life. Fighting opportunities are fleeting, so how can you listen to what's behind you? Could it be that if the general doesn't say anything about attacking, they just stay where they are?"
The messenger remained silent.
He was just a messenger, and no matter what the generals did or didn't do, it had nothing to do with them.
"General," Hao Youduo's bodyguard came over anxiously, "Bu Sanying Camp is really nothing."
"But fighter planes don't wait for anyone. How about I go down and have contact with the Fourth Cavalry Battalion next door?"
Hao You couldn't help but look in the direction of the Fourth Cavalry Battalion several times, then looked back at the dense formation of sandbags in front of him, and only let out a long sigh.
well.
With these layers of sandbags blocking the way, even if the cavalry had no speed, they would probably be able to circle around the perimeter and not be able to repel the enemy at all.
But in any case, it is better than sitting and waiting for the lime to dissipate and the Japanese pirates to come back again.
"Then go try it." Hao Youduo waved his hand tiredly.
As soon as the guard left, another guard came over with a complicated expression.
He hesitated and said: "Qian Chang, there seems to be something wrong with the battle going on like this."
First of all, the baggage was sent up. The arrows of various sizes were not enough in quantity, not to mention their quality;
Then there are the neighboring military units, each of which basically fights on its own without any cooperation with each other. Even when they came to the door in person, they all resisted.
Hao Youduo came back to his senses, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat, "Who asked you to come here and say this?"
If every centenarian under his command starts to think like this in his heart, then the battlefield in front of him...
Hao You couldn't help but tremble as he thought about it.
The little guard didn't know what the forward was thinking, so he turned around and pointed with his backhand.
"Chief Qian, my subordinates have been watching from behind just now. The large and small arrows, lime and other military supplies used by our fifth battalion have almost been used up. However, despite repeated urging, the supplies behind are still delayed, and there is no feeling of nervousness at all. .”
"Of course, sometimes one or two carts will be sent over, but that amount is just a drop in the bucket. At our current consumption rate, brothers will be out of arrows within half an hour."
Speaking of this, he hesitated and looked in the direction of the army.
"Qian Chang, can you honestly say that the higher-ups are really serious about fighting Japanese pirates?"
"Damn it!" Hao Youduo suddenly changed his expression, "What are you talking about?"
"Our Central Army Corps has been the core pillar of the empire since its establishment. All the generals of the army have been carefully selected by His Majesty. All of them are loyal to the empire and never have second thoughts."
"The legion has now moved to Huayang County, so it is our mission and responsibility to resist the invasion of Japanese pirates. Every barbarian who sets foot on the coastline is our sworn enemy. The whole legion will work together to defeat Ishikawa Taki. The ambition of a wolf will never give up."
Hum.
Speaking of this, he looked at the little guard in front of him murderously, and his tone became more severe.
"Looking at the fact that you have been with me for many years, I will pretend that I didn't hear what you said this time. Next time you try to confuse people with your monstrous words, I will not be polite to you, the body monster."
The little guard was not afraid at all.
"Chief Qian," he changed the subject, "you should remember that the imperial envoy sent by His Majesty has been stationed in the legion since last year. What is he investigating?"
Hao You couldn't help but retract his eyes that had been staring at the news on the front line, with a flash of pain in his eyes.
He swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and said coldly: "What do you want to say again?"
The young guard lowered his eyes silently, but answered the question incorrectly.
"Chief Qian, when we learned that Mr. Fang was coming to our legion, the general issued a strict order. No one in the legion can speak freely in front of the imperial envoy without permission, otherwise he will be severely punished."
Hao Youduo didn't seem to hear anything and just stared at him.
The little guard took out an arrow shaft full of wormholes from nowhere.
"Qian Chang, we already know too much, and our relationship with General Dai is only average. The most important thing is that we have no background behind us."
He stamped hard on the ground beneath his feet.
"I'm afraid this battlefield in front of us is the place where we people will be completely shut up from now on."
Hao Youduo's eyes dimmed slightly, but there was no look of surprise.
After a while, he patted the guard on the shoulder.
"Don't think too much and go back to the position first. I'll urge you later. As long as the required military supplies can be delivered in time, we, the 5th Arrow Battalion, will definitely be able to defend this place."
As long as we hold on to our position, our brothers can survive.
well.
The little guard wanted to say something more, but looking at Shang Feng's resolute expression, he sighed softly and silently swallowed the words that had reached his lips.
After a long while, the messenger who went to ride the fourth battalion came back panting.
"Chief Qian, Commander Qian of the Fourth Cavalry Battalion said that they are also facing the enemy head-on and cannot spare any manpower for the moment. Let us, the Fifth Arrow Battalion, try our best to hold on until they have repelled the enemy."
Hao Youduo nodded, lying on the ground without saying a word, listening carefully with his ears tilted.
The frontal battlefield is not small. Their defense line of the 5th Arrow Battalion only occupies a very small part. The 4th Cavalry Battalion next door is most likely facing the enemy.
However, Hao Youduo listened for a long time and stood up expressionlessly.
Various sounds from the battlefield echoed in the ground, including the dull sound of boulders falling to the ground, the harsh friction of crossbow arrows drilling into the ground, and the faint sound of swords clashing.
The only thing missing was the shock of a large-scale mass charge of cavalry.
Hao Youduo's heart sank.
He raised his head and looked coldly at the front where the white mist was still flying.
"Pass my order, brothers on the 1st and 200th should change their melee weapons, come on!"
"The other hundred commanders immediately counted the large and small arrows, lime, stone bullets, kerosene and rubber that they could use in their hands, and tried to use them sparingly."
"Qian Chang..." All the hundred leaders were stunned.
Because it is close to Star City and the royal family often visits during spring and autumn hunting, the Central Legion's superficial skills are extremely good.
For example, the cavalry battalion's large-scale charge, and the arrow battalion's collective shooting.
When they need to perform, as soon as they take action, they will really win the applause of the whole house.
Although Hao Youduo's subordinates occasionally practice close combat, they are usually used for exercise or relaxation.
They never thought that there would be a time when they would actually need to fight hand-to-hand.
Upon hearing this, all the leaders were numb.
"Let's all get ready."
The fighter plane disappeared in an instant, and Hao Youduo did not give his subordinates a chance to speak.
He snatched the standard saber from the bodyguard with a swish, and danced like a windmill with a whirring sound.
"This general will lead the charge personally, and brothers just need to follow and harvest the heads. Don't worry, as long as I am still breathing, I will bring you back." (End of Chapter)
