Chapter 468 The Tangled Final Touch...
"Boss..." "Hide quickly!" "Grass! Grass! Grass..."
In the end, David and others were slower than Tang En. When they rushed down the hill, densely packed Cangyan soldiers were already blocking the front, forming an insurmountable chasm!
Everyone had no choice but to temporarily hide behind the bushes. .
boom! After pounding the mud and watching Tang En and Xia Wei'an running away and running away, David's face turned livid: "Damn, it's only one step away!"
"It's that scary woman, uh... Nothing will happen to the boss, right?"
Shaking his head, Luke analyzed calmly: "Don't worry, with the speed of the boss, you can definitely get rid of..." Before he finished speaking, an extremely angry roar suddenly came from the distance.
"Roar!!!"
Everyone subconsciously looked up and saw that Xia Wei'an behind them seemed to be stimulated by something. A milky white dazzling light suddenly erupted from his body, gathering behind him and instantly forming two white wings of light. As he flapped his wings, his galloping speed actually accelerated a bit. , even faintly faster than Tang En in front. But in an instant, two figures, one black and one white, quickly disappeared into the hills.
"Gudong..." After swallowing, Luke's mouth twitched a few times, and he said hesitantly, "Relax, don't worry! Boss will be fine, haven't you escaped from this woman's hands several times before..."
Everyone looked at each other and nodded in silence.
They naturally believed in Tang En's strength, but usually, Tang En also told them about Xia Wei'an's skills and admitted that he was no match for him. Now that they have observed it on the spot, they are even more frightened by this terrifying woman who looks like a prehistoric monster. To be honest, I don’t have much confidence in Tang En right now...
"Then what should we do now? Are we just waiting here?" David clenched his fists and looked extremely gloomy. It was precisely because they had truly experienced Xia Wei'an's terror that they blamed themselves for not being able to successfully pass through the blockade of this 10,000-strong army just now. Because as long as they help, even if it is just a trap, it is very likely that Tang En will take the opportunity to escape!
"Our whereabouts have been exposed. Not only are we looking for death here, but we are also likely to do bad things." Luke shook his head, "And the boss just made a gesture, asking us to retreat first to find Frey. He will come and fight with us if he has the chance. Well, we can only trust the boss now!"
This is a fact. They played too much this time. It was enough to kill the masters of the Northern Wilderness. The key is that they also killed a dozen big figures from the Temple of Light. Once this is exposed, let alone them, even the gray-clothed army may not be able to withstand it!
He scratched his hair fiercely, looked at the densely packed soldiers in front of him, and then heard the movement of outflanking and searching from behind. David stamped his feet, waved his hand and said solemnly: "Let's go, retreat first!"
After saying this, he bowed his waist and led everyone to slowly retreat back. At this time, there was some slight chaos below. When the soldiers were about to complete the siege of the valley entrance, two figures, one tall and one short, suddenly appeared. The strength of both of them was very high. Ordinary soldiers were not the same enemy at all. However, they were not reluctant to fight and hurriedly rushed out of the encirclement before a large number of archers arrived. .
David and the others raised their eyebrows upon seeing this, recognizing that these were the two great masters of Beihuang. However, they didn't pay attention, and while the soldiers were paying attention outside, they managed to sneak out silently from one side.
They did not stay away. They did not intend to rush back to fight Frey for the time being. Instead, they lurked aside and waited, hoping to wait for these soldiers to completely pass by and see if there was a chance to catch up with the boss and provide some help.
But they don't know that this wait is destined to be in vain...
…
At this time, large groups of Cang Yan soldiers continued to advance into the front line of the battlefield from the rear, and then relied on natural barriers in the Cang Yan Legion's deep defense zone to pull out a city wall defense line composed purely of soldiers. If you look at the battle map, this line of defense happens to cut the frantically attacking barbarian army into two sections.
Of course, anyone with a little bit of military knowledge can see that this line of defense is not stable. Although they succeeded in intercepting some barbarians, they formed a local advantageous situation in which more and fewer barbarians were defeated. But the barbarians outside are not for display. They cannot just sit back and watch their companions be surrounded without attacking and rescuing them. And according to the current comparison of military strength between the two sides, this interception strategy of absolute generosity at any cost is likely to turn into a colander strategy. This defense line composed purely of soldiers will be smashed to pieces by the barbarians with big sticks in less than a few days.
It can be said that if there is no interference from external factors, this strategy is really a fool's errand! But Coach Cang Yan is not mentally retarded, or in other words, even if the coach's brain suddenly short-circuits, it is impossible for the officers of the Cang Yan Army, large and small, to be collectively mentally retarded at this moment!
Of course there are external factors, that is, the Zichen Legion is coming at a high speed and will arrive soon.
With the assistance of these Zichen soldiers who shocked the mainland and were full of honors, there would be no problems with the external defense line, and they would only push the barbarians back further. Regarding this, soldiers and even civilians in the entire Bran Empire firmly believed.
It was precisely because of this confidence that the Cang Yan Legion, which had been on the passive defensive during the war, came out in full force, risking the entire legion's wealth and vowing to start a crazy battle with the barbarian army in the wild.
As for the Cang Yan Legion's sudden convulsive and excited behavior, the barbarian army was a little puzzled, but most of them were still excited. After all, compared with the various heavy weapons of mass destruction that gave them a headache during the siege, the field battle undoubtedly made them more excited. While the middle and lower-level officers informed the Chinese army about the situation in the theater, they couldn't wait to pull out their soldiers and engage in a fierce field battle with the opponent.
But they didn't know that the battle reports that flew to the Chinese army like snowflakes were not delivered to the supreme commander in time. Because at this time, Commander An had already left the Chinese army camp and was traveling day and night...
…
In the early morning of the third day, just as the various troops of the Zichen Legion finally arrived at the Cangyan defense zone, a temporary army of five thousand barbarians also arrived at the central periphery of the Zichen defense zone.
As mentioned before, Xiongguan City is not only the important city closest to the front line, but also the most strategically important city in Bran's thousand-mile defense line. As long as the barbarians break through here, there will be a flat and open land behind them. You can ride your horse and whip your whip, and head straight into the hinterland of northern Bran without any scruples.
Now, this 5,000 barbarian army is less than 60 miles away from Xiongguan City. Of course, there is also a stretching city wall and a medium-sized city in the middle. It was one of the four military satellite cities of Xiongguan City. Its main responsibility was to form the first line of defense when attacked, and to detect the enemy's situation and send it back to the rear for support.
Five thousand barbarians were staying quietly in a mountain col. The dewdrops on their simple animal skins and long black hair could be seen that they were dusty and tired.
On one side of the col is a rather high hill. Standing here, through the light morning mist, you can see the outline of the city more than ten miles away. In fact, there are indeed people standing here watching silently.
His temples are lightly frosted, he is wearing a large-leaf dragon scale armor, and his back is slightly rickety due to his old age. This does not affect his unruffled and self-respecting momentum as a veteran of hundreds of battlefields. This is the man who led the army to march day and night. This is Anshuai!
Logically speaking, after spending so much effort to get here, it is naturally impossible to just stay here and enjoy the scenery. But the current fact is that after the army arrived here, Commander An suddenly ordered the soldiers to rest on the spot, and then he stood here and watched for nearly ten minutes.
"Shuai An, it's time for us to go in!" The middle-aged barbarian officer who always accompanied An Shuai hurriedly climbed to the top of the mountain and said urgently.
"Huh..." As if he had just woken up, An Shuai moved his body, then exhaled and shook his head, "Wait a little longer."
"We can't wait any longer, Marshal An." The middle-aged barbarian officer looked very anxious and kept walking around, "I just received intelligence that Tiu, who is leading 8,000 people, is only 20 miles away from the nearest city. Still. There is a deputy commander who is also coming with 8,000 people, more than ten miles behind Tiu. If we don’t set off, it will really be too late!"
An Shuai's body trembled when he heard this, and the deep wrinkles and ravines on his old face trembled a few times. The fist hanging by his side tightened and loosened like an epilepsy, then loosened and tightened. Finally, he sighed: "Please tolerate me." Think about it again..."
"What else is there to consider!" Suddenly he waved vigorously. The middle-aged barbarian officer was so anxious that he even exceeded the rules of his status. He stepped closer and said in a hurried tone, "Shuai An, why have you been planning so hard for more than ten years? Not yet? Just waiting for this day? Now this opportunity has finally come, who else is more qualified to enjoy this huge honor than you! An Shuai, An Shuai..."
Under the urging, An Shuai's expression became more complicated. He slowly raised his hand. His palm, which had always been as motionless as a mountain, actually trembled slightly. He pinched the bridge of his nose and his voice was also trembling and hesitant.
"Oh...you don't understand, you don't understand..."
