Weaving among corpses and flames, all kinds of unpleasant smells were suffocating, and many star soldiers couldn't stop vomiting. Fortunately, the fear brought by death gave birth to the will to survive, allowing them to constantly look for a way out, but many star soldiers fell into Surrounded by a sea of fire, they could not escape even if they wanted to. The fate that awaited them was either to be killed by the Yi army or to be trapped and die in the sea of fire.
By this time, the Yi Army had completely rushed into the melee area and killed everyone they saw. Many Star Army had no ability to resist. Under the pressure of the Yi Army, they kept screaming in agony. Star troops trapped in other locations were even more frightened, and some even wanted to commit suicide when they had no way to escape.
"Marshal, the enemy has surrounded the main force of our army. If the reinforcements don't arrive, I'm afraid our army will make a mistake." Due to the delay in the arrival of reinforcements, some generals on Lan Xu's side were worried that they would be unable to restore the defeat. After seeing the battlefield After the situation did not improve, he couldn't help but question Lan Xu.
"Marshal, before the enemy has completely surrounded our army, why don't we take a step back first and then make plans?" A general in the front hinted that Lan Xu would withdraw soon, and another general behind him directly proposed a withdrawal.
Judging from the current situation, the Star Army must seize the time to withdraw its troops, otherwise it will not be easy to withdraw once the entire front is defeated, but whether to withdraw or not depends on Lan Xu's intention.
While the Wing Army has not completely penetrated into the Star Army array, the Star Army can still hold on for the time being. However, the morale gap between the two sides is too great, and the Star Army cannot resist the Wing Army's edge. Many soldiers have already decided to quit. So much so that not long after they shouted that reinforcements were coming, some Star Army generals could only change their words and shout for the personnel to stabilize their positions.
In fact, when it comes to withdrawing troops, both Lan Xu and the generals have concerns, because the Star Army camp is at the rear. In the event of an emergency withdrawal, food, grass and other supplies cannot be taken away, and they can only be allowed to be invaded by the Yi Army.
In addition, even if they can retreat to a safe area, they still have to face the problem of food and grass. Beast Ridge City cannot support an army at all. Unless the Yi Army plunders every city they visit, the survival of the Star Army will be a problem in the future. .
Regarding the temporary withdrawal of troops, Lan Xu had discussed it with a group of generals before, and everyone knew the pros and cons. It was precisely because of this that Lan Xu had not mentioned the withdrawal.
"No." Faced with the doubts of the two generals, Lan Xu finally shook his head and continued: "As long as the reinforcements can arrive in time and make a surprise attack from behind the enemy, they will be able to catch the enemy by surprise. If we are attacked from both sides, our morale will be greatly reduced, so our army can defeat the enemy in one go."
"Marshal, what should we do if the Yi Army has taken precautions?" Seeing that there were still some troops behind the Yi Army who had not participated in the battle, the general who asked was filled with worry.
"What if the reinforcements arrive and the situation becomes irreversible?" Then, another general questioned.
The two generals' doubts were Lan Xu's worry. Calculating the time, the reinforcements should have arrived, but when he looked behind the Yi Army, he saw that there were still people behind the Yi Army who had not participated in the battle, and he had not found any of his own troops. The personnel appeared, so Lan Xu naturally looked at General Xing.
If there is a problem, the problem must lie in General Xing's identity, but judging from General Xing's clothing and temperament, there is no possibility that Yi Jun is pretending to be him.
"Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?" However, just in case, Lan Xu still wanted to confirm General Xing's identity in person.
"I don't know," General Xing was just an ordinary general. He didn't even dare to raise his opinion in front of Lan Xu. When Lan Xu asked him a question, he didn't dare to delay for a moment and give an immediate reply.
"Did you encounter anything suspicious on the way here?" Lan Xu asked again with his brows furrowed.
"Never," shaking his head, General Xing responded quickly when he saw Lan Xu's expression was wrong.
"How many reinforcements are there in total?" Lan Xu asked again.
"Thirty-one thousand two hundred and twenty," after reporting a number, General Xing already realized the purpose of Lan Xu's question, and a nervous look suddenly appeared on his face.
"Okay." Seeing that General Xing's answer was so accurate, Lan Xu could conclude that General Xing must not have been sent by Yijun, so the news that reinforcements were about to arrive was certainly accurate.
"Marshal?" On the other side, a general was a little anxious when he saw that Lan Xu ignored them and instead asked General Xing to confirm whether the reinforcements could arrive in time.
"You don't have to wait any longer. General Liu and the others will definitely arrive in time." Lan Xu showed his majesty as a commander on the spot, and Lan Xu didn't want anyone to question his decision.
Of course, that's what he said. In fact, he was not sure when Liu Hongtao would arrive. The key was that he had endured until now. He didn't want to waste all their efforts. It was time for them to take a gamble with Yi Jun. After feeling a sense of determination in his heart, , Lan Xu directly bet the key to victory or defeat on Liu Hongtao.
At the same time, seeing that Lan Xu had made up his mind, the generals who advised the troops to withdraw did not dare to say anything, because they did not even have the identity of a general and had no right to question Lan Xu's decision. At most, they could only make some appropriate suggestions. .
As for the several generals of the Star Army, they are all on the battlefield at the moment directing personnel to fight. It is because of their presence that the people below can continue to fight.
"General Liu, our army is still less than two miles away from the battlefield. Do you want to send someone to check the situation?" Putting aside the situation on the battlefield, walking next to Liu Hongtao, General Li, who has been responsible for leading the way, seemed to be considering After a while, he proposed to Liu Hongtao again.
"No, the drums over there are beating so continuously. It must be that the two armies are fighting fiercely. Let's just go there quickly," Liu Hongtao said without changing his expression, he had already made up his mind.
His answer surprised Lu Yunyou again. Although this was a situation that everyone could think of, only Liu Hongtao seemed to think clearly and calmly at the moment.
Lu Yunyou had a feeling of longing for Liu Hongtao's observation and judgment ability, and at the same time he also realized that it was easier for him to learn things by fighting with the generals above than by reading military books.
Then, a few hundred meters further, when he reached the edge of the forest, Liu Hongtao turned around and looked at the 30,000 soldiers who had formed a formation in the forest and said: "Your compatriots and brothers are all there. If you don't want them to die miserably in the enemy's army, You must all go to the battlefield and fight the enemy bravely."
"I know that most of the people in the army are new recruits and have never participated in any battles before, but you are all men of flesh and blood, no different from the wing troops in front of you. Today's battle is not just for fighting. To protect your homeland from the enemy, I hope you can put aside your inner fears and fight the enemy bravely with me."
Before the battle, Liu Hongtao decided to say an inspiring message. Because he was short of time, he did not say too much. He just wanted everyone to understand that if they lost to Yijun, not only would they die, but they would also lose their home.
The new troops recruited from Feng Kingdom may not fully understand what Liu Hongtao means, but one thing they know very well is that there are one hundred thousand of their compatriots on the battlefield. If they fight cowardly, their compatriots and brothers are likely to die on the battlefield. , after thinking of this, everyone put down the fear in their hearts and immediately got ready to go to the battlefield.
"All personnel will rush out with me." When the new troops slowly understood what Liu Hongtao meant, Liu Hongtao did not hesitate and directly ordered the troops to be sent out. They were only a few hundred meters away from the rear of the Yi army. When they completely rushed out of the forest, 30,000 stars The general caught the Yi Army off guard.
"Kill," then just when Lan Xu and several generals were worried about their own situation, there was a thunder on the ground, and a shocking charge suddenly broke out from behind the Yi army. Countless star troops rushed towards them with weapons only a few hundred meters away. The wing army.
"Just in time." At the same time, on the chariot behind the center of the Yijun array, Ruan Qiling slowly stood up and looked back. The next moment, countless star troops appeared in his sight, and Ruan Qiling's eyes finally stopped at the star in the middle. On the military banner, it now seems that the reason why the reinforcements of the Star Army have not arrived is because they have to detour from behind them, not from behind the Star Army.
"Marshal, the enemy does have reinforcements," beside the tank, a wing army general looked at the swaying Star Army flags with an indifferent expression, and his heart was already boiling. As long as Ruan Qiling gave the order, he would directly lead his soldiers to charge To the Star Army.
"The time has come. Several generals quickly led their troops to stop the Star Army. The Star Army only has 30,000 troops. They must be defeated." After giving the order, Ruan Qiling looked directly at the generals of the Yi Army who were guarding the chariot.
"The last general takes orders," they all agreed. In view of their own side's absolute superiority, the generals of the wing army were full of confidence.
"Kill," the next moment, under the leadership of those wing army generals, the 30,000 wing army rushed straight towards the oncoming 30,000 star army.
