Chapter 690 The Situation Is Difficult, the Reinforcements Are Progressing
"Admiral, we can't fight like this anymore."
"In less than half a day, the infantry brigade under my command was exhausted, and the entire brigade generals and schools, including the brigade commander, were all killed."
"In addition, another infantry brigade was crippled, with a casualty rate of more than seven layers. The casualties were heavy, and they have basically lost their combat effectiveness."
"If the battle situation is like this for three more days, even if there are ten elite infantry brigades at the end, I'm afraid it will not be able to fill this hole."
"And the several cavalry combat brigades under the commander's command are not useful, and can only wait in the rear."
"This battle is really useless. You can't let the cavalry dismount and change into infantry to fight on foot."
"That is one of the components of the counterattack power, and it will not be used unless it is absolutely necessary."
"Several legions of the other generals suffered more than 30% casualties. The number of dead soldiers in several legions combined has exceeded 80,000, and the number of wounded is not counted, otherwise the number is even more terrifying."
"
In Xuzhou Chengzhou Mansion, Pei Xingjian, the commander of the Fifth Legion, whose armor was covered in flesh and blood, and his face was also stained with blood, complained to Ying Ji.
This is no wonder Pei Xingjian is like this. It must be known that Xuzhou Prefecture is the most important area of the entire Xuzhou defense line. It can be called a strategic core hub, and it faces the most violent monster attacks.
To this end, Ying Ji also mobilized Shi Wansui's 3rd Corps, Wang Yanzhang's 4th Corps, Pei Xingjian's 5th Corps, and Xiao Mohe's 6th Corps to be responsible for the defense of Xuzhou Prefecture.
But just like this, Xuzhou City, which is at the center of the monster attack, is also under enormous pressure.
As Pei Xingjian said, if the fight goes on like this, the four old-fashioned imperial A-class legions may really be crippled over time.
"Oh, what does General Pei mean?"
At this moment, Ying Ji said meaningfully.
Ying Ji, who had grown old and matured for a long time, heard from Pei Xingjian's complaint, but there was still another meaning, so he was waiting for Pei Xingjian to ask.
Hearing what Ying Ji said, a look of struggle flashed in Pei Xingjian's eyes, but remembering the tragic situation ahead, he mustered up his courage and said.
"General, let's pull up the five title-level legions. Facing the boundless army of monsters, even the imperial A-class legion can't stop it for a long time."
"And among the hundreds of adjustment corps currently, only five title-level corps have been replenished, and the number of soldiers is 600,000."
"The five major legions add up to three million elite soldiers, and the various weapon configurations and command systems are also perfect."
"There are many people with second-order and above cultivation bases, and the combat power is strong. All-out deployment will definitely be able to control the battle situation."
"On the other hand, the army of the last generals and other legions, each general's army has only been adjusted and expanded to the point of two or three hundred thousand."
"All kinds of weapons and equipment have not been fully implemented. It is really difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice."
Speaking of this, of course, Pei Xingjian, who has fought for the empire for many years, is also full of bitterness.
It's not that Pei Xingjian wants to complain, but that's the truth.
It is also strange that this monster catastrophe happened so suddenly. The one hundred and five imperial legions that are readjusting their organization and army structure are the most important except for the five title-level legions.
Extra care by the major departments of the empire, in addition to completing the adjustment in advance.
The rest are in the incomplete state of dissatisfaction, even if it is the twenty A-class regiments.
They say fight, but they have to use something to fight, how can I fight if I have no confidence?
If the catastrophe of the monsters can come a few months later, let the remaining 100 legions of the empire complete the reorganization.
Not to mention the famous generals of the empire like Pei Xingjian, they can do it even if they launch a few counter-charges against the monsters on the basis of defending the city.
But the fact is that it didn't happen, everything was so sudden.
"Pei Xingjian, I know your difficulties, but I don't care. As long as you defend Xuzhou City, this is the key to the entire Xuzhou defense line, and there is absolutely no room for loss."
"Otherwise, not only you and Wang Yanzhang, but even this commander will become the eternal sinner of the empire, and hundreds of millions of people of the empire will be buried with me. I hope you can understand this."
"Also, there was a secret report from the Shadow Secret Guard that a few days ago, Wu Lingjun's 3rd Expeditionary Army, 8 million troops, had landed on the edge of the South China Sea and entered the land of Bashu."
"At present, it is probably in the area of Chencang and Wuguan, and it is gradually moving to the land of Jingchu!"
"Two days, as long as you persist for two more days, the 8 million soldiers of the Third Expeditionary Army will bypass the back of the monster army and go straight into the heart of the monster."
"And not only that, after the delivery of the main force of the Third Expeditionary Army, Marshal Kong also led a part of the naval force and the rest of the generals to follow Wu Lingjun on the journey to help Xuzhou together."
"At that time, there will be a two-line attack with the imperial Xuzhou garrison, and the battle situation can be determined."
"Under the 80% power of the empire facing the local world, the monster will be defeated."
Looking at Pei Xingjian, Ying Ji also said it, and said a secret of the Qin army.
That is, the eight million soldiers and soldiers led by Zhao Yong to return to the aid can arrive at the battlefield within two days at most, and they will be surrounded by tens of millions of monsters.
Then the two imperial armies launched an offensive together, attacking from the front and back, then the big event can be determined, and the danger of the monsters will be solved.
Hearing this, Pei Xingjian also breathed a sigh of relief, because this allowed Pei Xingjian to see the hope of the empire's victory.
"In order to obtain enough time for the 3rd Expeditionary Army to encircle and encircle, and for the final victory of the empire, what if all the four A-type armies are wiped out?"
Thinking of this, Pei Xingjian also thought hard in his heart.
"General Pei, it is impossible to replace the commanders of the five titled legions, because they are the backbone of my Xuzhou Qin army to launch a counterattack against the monsters."
"It is even the decisive factor for the empire to launch a fatal blow, so it must not be moved lightly."
"But even so, this commander can still call the shots and move the 500,000 catapult troops of the five titled corps in addition to the main combat troops to the front line. I believe it can still solve the urgent need."
At this moment, Ying Ji spoke again, which also brightened Pei Xingjian's eyes.
Because of the battle, Pei Xingjian also knew that almost all the Qin troops on all fronts were overwhelmed by themselves and fell into a hard battle.
The troops were so tense that they dared not even use the reserve team, for fear that it would be over after one shot.
Under such circumstances, they did not dare to support each other at all, and had to reluctantly maintain the battle situation, so Pei Xingjian did not ask Yingji to send the main battle army for support.
The 500,000 catapult troops of the five titled legions were not the main battle force, but they were still a considerable force.
Once it is on the front line, it can greatly strengthen the long-range strike force of the Qin army, so that the Qin army can face the army of monsters more calmly.
Just at this point, Pei Xingjian was quite satisfied.
"Thank you, General, the last general will fight the enemy bravely and bring good news to the empire."
Pei Xingjian cupped his hands and shouted.
"Okay, okay, hurry down and kill the enemy."
"It's still a good news. If you don't send a request for help, this commander will thank God for burning high incense."
Glancing at Pei Xingjian, Ying Ji said angrily.
