Chapter 684 Brutal War

An army of 600,000 men, including several thousand generals, were all defeated...

I wanted to say something, but found that I couldn't. After a long, long time, I put all my emotions into a sigh: "Brothers, it's hard..."

The middle-aged man with a Chinese-character face gritted his teeth tightly and endured, but his eyes slowly turned red; his lips trembled, and finally he couldn't help it, and hot tears fell down.

He walked a few steps and suddenly hugged Song Jue and burst into tears!

There is no way a man can shed tears just because it is not the time to be sad!

This middle-aged man with a Chinese character and a resolute face is none other than Zhu Chenggong, the deputy commander of the Western Conquest Army, and the sworn brother of Wu Gonglie, the general of the Western Conquest Army.

At this moment, this soldier who had spent his whole life in the military and had never known the purpose of crying, a soldier who had fought countless battles from life and death situations, was actually bursting into tears, wailing like a child.

He has always regarded life and death as nothing.

He always despised men who cried the most.

But at this moment, when he saw Song Jue, he could no longer control his emotions and burst into tears, venting his grief and anger.

Ye Xiao watched from the side and couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart.

"The general... died in battle... Wuwu..." Zhu Chenggong cried loudly: "Of the 600,000 brothers, there are less than 100,000 who have survived until now! Our Western Expeditionary Army is led by a total of 7,800 generals. Now, only the two hundred and forty people in front of me are left..."

"We have been gritting our teeth and holding on, waiting for this moment, waiting for the reinforcements to arrive, to avenge the general! Avenge the dead brothers! If this revenge is not avenged..." Zhu Chenggong's face was full of tears, He looked up to the sky and screamed loudly: "I, Zhu Chenggong, will never die with my eyes in peace!"

"If you don't take revenge, you will die with your eyes open in peace!"

The remaining two hundred generals of the Western Conquest Army roared loudly at the same time, as if they were using all their strength, and they seemed to be using their own lives and souls to shout and howl!

"The general's heroic spirit is not far away, watching his brothers avenge him!"

In the city, there was another shouting that seemed to be boiling!

That was the reaction given by the remaining soldiers of the Western Expedition Army when they heard the movement here.

At this moment, the city walls were covered with faces full of tears!

It's just that these pairs of eyes are projecting a wild beast-like light!

"Let me say something more, what is going on in this battle?" Song Jue is an expert who has been on the battlefield and is also a general who knows military affairs well. He frowned and asked: "General Wu Gonglie is also familiar with military affairs. Although the master of Wenren Sword Yin is not as good as Wenren Sword Yin, the difference is not too big. If he sticks to it, I believe Wenren Sword Yin can only sigh helplessly. How, how can he do it? It’s unreasonable to lose so miserably!”

Zhu Chenggong gritted his teeth: "The defeat of this battle was all because of that damn traitor!"

Under questioning from Ye Xiao and Song Jue, Zhu Chenggong gritted his teeth and recounted the past.

Hearing the sword chant, the soldiers pressed forward and approached the city. Although Wu Gonglie knew that he was much inferior to his opponent, he did not show any weakness, nor did he hesitate, and faced him head-on.

Speaking of which, these two are both well-known commanders on the mainland's famous generals list. In terms of ranking alone, Wenren Jianyin is second on the mainland's famous generals list, second only to Ye Xiao's father Ye Nantian, and although Wu Gonglie is also There is a name on the list, but it is quite low, almost at the bottom of the list of famous generals. It can be said that the strength of the two is very different, and the outcome is obvious!

However, the real victory or defeat on the battlefield is not determined by pure ranking. Wu Gonglie is not as good as Wen Ren Jian Yin in all aspects of military strategy, battle formations and planning, but there is one aspect that he must beat, and that is defense!

Not only Wenren Jianyin, but also all the famous generals in the entire continent were counted one by one. In terms of defense, no one dared to say that he could beat Wu Gonglie!

Ye Nantian once gave Wu Gonglie this evaluation: The attack was quite satisfactory, but the defense was flawless. When both sides had equal strength and had a city to defend, even I couldn't attack the city guarded by Wu Gonglie!

This evaluation is not a low one. Ye Nantian is known as the invincible military god. Since taking charge of the army, he has always been unfavorable, but he can give Wu Gonglie such an evaluation, which shows Wu Gonglie's defensive strength!

The battle situation on the Western Front was probably exactly the same. Wen Renjianyin came with millions of people to attack, and Wu Gonglie defended with 600,000 troops. Although the force was inferior, it had the advantage of defending the city and could cope with all changes with stability. , not seeking merit, but seeking no faults, and really guarded the pass impregnably.

No matter Wen Renjian chanted thousands of ingenious strategies and made all kinds of wild attacks, Wu Gonglie just stood firm and stayed behind closed doors. No matter how difficult and dangerous the battle situation was, he was always able to hold on.

If you come to attack, I will defend the city; if you don't come, I won't go out.

Anyway, our city has high walls and thick walls, and it takes advantage of the geographical convenience; even if you have the ability to hear people's sword chants, you can't break my perfect defense.

As long as I can hold on and hold on firmly, you can just stare and do nothing. As long as I hold on, the dawn of victory will eventually be ours!

Wenren Jianyin first tried every means to challenge and lure the enemy; however, Wu Gonglie remained unmoved.

Later, he used various methods to insult Wu Gonglie and cursed him, but Wu Gonglie remained firm.

Occasionally, he went out of the city several times to pick up food, and the front, rear, left, and right sides were guarded extremely tightly. When he went to pick up food, he fought, and each side had its own victory or defeat.

Hearing the sword chant, he looked up to the sky and sighed, and said: "Wu Gonglie! It is indeed Wu Gonglie! He would rather not take any credit. He is really brave and strong..."

But just when the two sides were in such a stalemate, an unexpected change occurred inside the Western Expedition Army.

A general actually killed his colleagues and opened the city gate while guarding the city in the middle of the night.

Although Wu Gonglie's army discovered it in time and completely wiped out the traitor's army, Wenren Jianyin's army had already occupied a city gate!

The two sides launched the most extreme tug-of-war, fighting to the death in the city.

But the Blue Wind Empire was not only strong in soldiers and horses, but also had many masters; even if Wu Gonglie and others fought desperately, they could not take back the city gate from Wenren Jianyin.

Seeing that the situation was over, Wu Gonglie, the army of the Blue Wind Empire, had to abandon the city and lead the army to retreat, hoping to find another base and make a comeback.

But Wenren Jianyin had suffered enough from Wu Gonglie. It was rare to have such a good opportunity to defeat the enemy, so how could he be willing to turn over? Arranging traitors for many years, isn't it just for this moment?

Wenren Jianyin's subsequent offensive was relentless, and he pursued him madly, and he would not stop until he died.

In the subsequent battles, Wu Gonglie tried every means but could not get rid of him. In the end, he had to cut off his arm; 100,000 soldiers sacrificed their lives to cover the retreat in exchange for the retreat of another 400,000 soldiers.

This battle not only made the Western Expedition Army lose its basic base, but also suffered heavy casualties.

Wu Gonglie himself was also seriously injured in more than a dozen places, and was exhausted both physically and mentally.

Next, there was no longer any geographical advantage or strong city to defend; Wu Gonglie could only deploy troops according to the terrain every time he arrived at a place, and launch a blocking battle of fortifying the walls and clearing the fields! Although Wu Gonglie knew that he had no advantage in defending the city, and his troops were far inferior, he was no longer the opponent of Wenren Jianyin, let alone his million-strong army, but he was based on the idea of ​​"if you can resist for one more day, you can gain one more day", and the Western Expedition Army fought to the death!
