Chapter 538 Cemetery
Amid the harsh roar, the rebels marched into the misty snowy mountains.
Since there was no room for cavalry in the snow, the offensive method that Sun Xiangtian feared the most no longer existed, and his command suddenly became bold again.
With self-propelled artillery leading the way in front, Sun Xiangtian felt extremely relieved.
The Seventh Corps seemed to be afraid of these terrifying weapons. Before, Guanshan would send out the Venerable for reconnaissance. Since the rebels entered the snowy mountains, the Seventh Corps did not even dare to send out scouts.
This made Sun Xiangtian more convinced that the Seventh Corps had completely lost its courage and did not even have the courage to contact.
Facing the approaching rebels, Guanshan did not choose to confront them head-on, but used Taiyi's humanoid radar function to play hide-and-seek with the rebels in the snow.
The Seventh Corps constantly left traces of hasty retreat along the way, and also dismantled part of the completed fortifications, leaving the rebels with an impression of wanting to fight and run, and being hesitant.
In order to deepen this feeling, Guanshan deliberately left a small group of highly mobile troops behind, so that they could have some contact with the rebels.
Sun Xiangtian looked at the Seventh Legion that had beaten him to a pulp before. When they saw the self-propelled artillery, they all abandoned their armor and fled in panic. The depression that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time was unblocked.
He was more convinced that as long as he had the self-propelled artillery in hand, neither the Seventh Legion nor the Symbiosis Society would be his opponent.
In this snowy mountain, he, Sun Xiangtian, was the real dictator, and no one dared to touch his edge!
In order to prevent Guanshan from making trouble again, and to speed up the pursuit.
Sun Xiangtian issued an order to the entire army, and the three legions that were originally mutually dependent were all gathered together, and launched a full-scale pursuit towards the traces left by the Seventh Legion along the way.
The previously demoralized rebels, seeing the miserable state of the Seventh Legion fleeing in despair, were filled with lofty ambitions and were determined to turn the tables through military exploits.
With the help of Taiyi's humanoid radar, Guanshan had been controlling the pace of the troops' movement, always keeping a distance from the rebels, giving the rebels the illusion that they could catch up with their target with a little effort.
Under Guanshan's slowly adding fuel to the fire tactics, all the rebels, including Sun Xiangtian, were excited.
They only wanted to quickly deal with the Seventh Legion so that they could leave this icy and snowy ghost place.
As long as they returned to the warm main city, both wealth and power would be theirs!
Even most of the soldiers began to feel lucky that they had suffered a previous defeat, otherwise it would not be their turn to eat this piece of fat meat.
The fewer people who share the cake, the better.
The officers with a little insight understood that according to the current situation, as long as this battle could be won, Sun Xiangtian would have to rely on them to suppress the opposition forces in various places after returning.
At that time, they will have more opportunities to take advantage of the opportunity.
Anyway, Sun Xiangtian will take the blame, and they can do whatever they want in the local area.
As long as they think of the happy life after returning, all the officers are eager to fight with the Seventh Legion immediately, and they can finish the battle quickly and forget about it, so as not to affect their return to make a fortune.
In this fanatical atmosphere, the rebels are almost crazy chasing after the Seventh Legion.
Until...
"Sir, the canyon that the army is about to pass through has cliffs on both sides. If the whole army passes through together, it will not be able to display at all."
"The front army sent a request, can we adjust the formation and pass it all at once."
In the command vehicle, the signalman respectfully reported to Sun Xiangtian.
"Can the scout confirm that the Seventh Legion passed through here?" Sun Xiangtian did not reply to the front army immediately, but looked at the officer in charge of intelligence scouts first.
"It is 100% confirmed that there are a lot of traces of living materials in the canyon. According to the freshness, the distance between us and the Seventh Legion is only half a day at most."
"The Seventh Legion should have noticed the distance between the two sides and was afraid of being caught up by us, so they wanted to use the advantage of small numbers to quickly pass through the canyon and widen the distance between us again."
After listening to his subordinates' speculation, Sun Xiangtian's already impatient mood became even more irritable, "Order the whole army to allow the formation to be adjusted to cooperate with the front army to pass quickly."
"Whoever delays the march, tie him up for me, and deal with them after this battle!"
The signalman received the order and quickly conveyed Sun Xiangtian's meaning.
"Sir, this kind of canyon terrain is particularly suitable for setting up an ambush. If we pull the army into a straight line again, the Seventh Legion only needs to block the head and tail, and we will become a turtle in a jar."
Sun Xiangtian's deputy anxiously reached out to stop the signalman.
"Ambush?" Sun Xiangtian snorted, "What kind of ambush?"
"Have you watched too many TV series?"
"Do you think the Seventh Legion can kill us all by throwing a few rolling logs from the canyon?"
"Or can they use those crossbows without superpowers to shoot through our tank armor?"
"At most, they can kill some of our infantry without armor."
"If they had that time, our artillery would have already shot them all into sieves."
"Take your hands away! Idiot!"
The deputy withdrew his hands in fear, not daring to stop the signalman from giving orders.
"Sir, I still think we should be more cautious. We have been too aggressive these days. If this is a trap set by the enemy, then this is definitely the best place for an ambush."
"If you are really obsessed with the marching speed, you can let the front troops pass first and continue to pursue the enemy, and the rest of the troops can pass in batches."
"This way, we won't be caught in one fell swoop."
The adjutant was still feeling uneasy, but he couldn't help but suggest to Sun Xiangtian.
Sun Xiangtian hooked his finger at his adjutant and led him to his side. He lowered his voice and said coldly, "The front army was originally absorbed into our army as cannon fodder."
"I never thought that the Seventh Legion would be so useless."
"The situation is different now. Anyone who can catch the Seventh Legion can easily get rid of them."
"Those people in the front army are not very loyal to our logistics helper. Have you ever thought about how to arrange them when it comes to rewarding in the future if they are allowed to grab all the heads?"
"Should I reward or not?"
The adjutant is a pure soldier and has no idea about these power struggles.
But he also knows one thing.
The commander has said so much. If he sings the opposite tune again, he will definitely not have any good results.
The adjutant didn't say anything after all.
Sun Xiangtian nodded with satisfaction.
With a wave of his big hand.
The rebels just walked straight into the canyon.
Walked into the cemetery that Guanshan carefully selected for them...
