Chapter 176 Meat Grinder

Tiger Roar Pass.

Although the giant trencher of the Guanghui Empire Army smashed a big gap in the solid wall, the morale and fighting spirit of the Mingyue Empire Army did not collapse with the collapse of the wall. The troops of the two countries launched a desperate battle around the gap. To this day, the two armies have been repeatedly fighting at the gap for ten days!

This gap is like an efficient meat grinder, greedily devouring the lives of the soldiers of the two armies. After ten days of fierce fighting, more than 100,000 soldiers of the two armies died in the gap, including at least 60,000 of which were soldiers of the Mingyue Imperial Army! Although the Mingyue Imperial Army was defending the city, it was completely at a disadvantage in the expeditionary killing power.

When the two armies fought repeatedly around the gap, the catapult of the Guanghui Empire Army kept pouring the burning sulli-oil bombs on the heads of the soldiers of the Mingyue Empire Army. There was also the dense arrows of the tent, like endless rainstorms, falling from the sky with a harsh roar. The Mingyue Empire Army could only launch a desperate battle with the Guanghui Empire Army under more severe conditions.

Situ Rui's Qingzhou Legion is worthy of being a battle-hardened iron-blooded army. Even though the situation is so serious, they still held on ten days. They used their flesh and blood to build an insurmountable wall, blocking the powerful Glorious Imperial Army outside the gap.

On the open space less than a hundred steps away from the wall, Situ Rui looked cold and stood like a pine tree.

From time to time, a ball of burning fireballs passed over Situ Rui's head, then dragged the long tail flames to fall from the air, and finally burst into churning flames in the pass. Looking around, almost all the buildings in the pass are burning, just like hell. Fortunately, the buildings in the pass are made of bricks and stones, so they are not afraid of burning fires.

Teams of imperial soldiers with a cold expression were lined up along the only long street in Guanzhong, waiting nervously and silently until they waited. At this moment, the air seemed to be frozen. The soldiers could only hear the sound of their breathing, the sound of flames churning in the distance, and the sound of arrows falling from the sky.

A hundred steps away, a large group of Mingyue Empire soldiers were swarming in the gap, howling and crowding, rushing towards the gap with all their might, then swinging swords, biting their teeth and hitting their heads, using limbs, blood, and the life and the glorious imperial soldiers outside the gap to death. The soldiers in front fell down, and the ones behind were connected, one after another, endless.

On both sides of the gap, on the towering high walls, two teams of bright moon archers were descending high, desperately firing arrows out of the gap. From time to time, burning fireballs fell on the top of the city, blooming balls of flames. Unfortunately, the bright moon archers who were swept by the flames would fall from the top of the city with a shrill wail.

After crossing the towering walls of Tiger Roar Pass, there is a more cruel and bloody scene outside the Pass.

There were broken cloud ladders everywhere, siege ladders everywhere, burning flames everywhere, rising black smoke everywhere, muddy snow lie all over the corpses of fallen soldiers, the air was filled with the smell of burning corpses and the stench of rotting corpses.

A large group of Glorious Empire soldiers were swarming from a distance, roaring wildly, rushing towards the gap that was smashed by a catapult like a wolf. Within a few hundred steps centered on the gap, there were layers of people, densely packed with heads and crowded crowds, the bright moon archers on the wall did not need to aim at it. If you shoot an arrow casually, you will definitely be able to kill a Glorious Empire soldier!

But while the bright moon archers on the wall were hunting the Glorious Empire soldiers, they were also constantly hunted by the Glorious archers outside the gate. Tens of thousands of Glorious Empire archers arranged scattered shooting formations. Two hundred steps away from the gap, they suppressed the bright moon archers on the top of the city and the bright moon archers in the gap with dense rain-like arrows.

The war has completely lost its structure and no tactics.

At this moment, the Glorious Imperial Army outside the pass and the Mingyue Imperial Army inside the pass have almost reached the end of its strength. Now the soldiers of the two armies and their respective commanders have only the only thought left in their minds. Persist, persist, and persist again! Whoever can't hold on first and distract themselves will be finished, and whoever will suffer a catastrophe!

The rapid footsteps pulled Situ Rui back to reality from his meditation.

Tuoba Ye, who was covered in blood, strode forward and then knelt in front of Situ Rui. The man seven-foot-high was crying like a child: "Sir, Governor, let the Third Division retreat. If you don't, the Third Division will be finished. Sir, leave some seeds for the Third Division, howl..."

"Shame!"

Situ Rui kicked Tuoba Ye to the ground with a kick, shouting in a narrow voice, "The Qingzhou Legion has never had only warriors who died in battle standing, and never had cowards who kneel down to survive!"

"Sir, Bei Zhi is not afraid of death!" Tuoba Ye pulled out his battle knife and shouted fiercely, "Bei Zhi only wants to remove the remaining two thousand veterans!"

"No!" Situ Rui was unmoved, his expression was cold and iron. "No one is allowed to retreat without permission from this supervisor. Anyone who violates military law will be engaged in military law!"

Tuoba Ye turned over and got up, stared at Situ Rui fiercely for a while, and suddenly shouted wildly: "Brothers, fight against the glorious local dog of the dogs!"

"Fight!"

"Fight with his mother!"

"Slay one is enough money, and you'll make a profit if you kill two!"

"In another twenty years, I will be a famous man again!"

"The third brother, during the holidays, don't forget to sprinkle two glasses in front of the brother spirit and fuck him!"

Tuoba Ye roared wildly and led his direct guards to rush toward the gap. At the gap, most of the remaining two thousand veterans of the Third Division had been killed or injured. In the middle of the gap, the ferocious figures of the Guanghui Empire soldiers could be vaguely seen. The waving swords reflected a heart-pounding cold light under the setting sun.

Watching Tuoba Ye and more than 2,000 soldiers from the direct guard flocked away, Situ Rui couldn't help but twitch violently. The Third Division was about to be exhausted, Tuoba Ye felt uncomfortable, and Situ Rui felt like a knife was squeezing in his heart! The three Yingzhou divisions, Situ Yue's First Division and Situ Ying's Fourth Division had already been fought. Now Tuoba Ye's Third Division was about to fight, and in the end, only Yan Changkong's Second Division was left!

The reinforcements of the Navy Legion have not arrived for a long time, and they just waited for the Second Division to fight for nothing. Hu Xiao Pass should be lost. At that time, looking at Zhongzhou, there will be no more army that can stop Meng Yan's middle army from moving straight into. Yuewang, Yuewang, if you can't lead the army south within three days, the empire will really be destroyed...

"Reinforcements, reinforcements have arrived!"

"Our reinforcements have arrived!"

"Hahaha, Governor, our reinforcements!"

When Situ Rui was feeling sad, the soldiers of the Mingyue Empire behind him suddenly shouted like a thunderbolt. When Situ Rui looked back quickly, he saw a team of heavily armed infantry with a cold expression rushing forward along the wide streets of Guanzhong. A large moon flag was flying in front of the formation, and the four corners were embroidered with the symbol of the Navy Legion - Feijiao!

At this moment, Situ Rui, who was as hard as iron, couldn't help but burst into tears. The reinforcements finally arrived!

A general Mingyue, wearing heavy armor, surrounded by Geng Zhong and a large group of generals, came to Situ Rui, stood up and stopped to salute Situ Rui, and said proudly: "Governor General, Navy Admiral Xiao Chengdong, led the heavy infantry division of the Navy Army to come and wait for the condemnation!"

Tiger roars outside the pass.

Meng Yanzheng and Shi Miyuan, and Pu Sanzhi stood on his luxurious chariot to watch the battle. Meng Yan's mood was extremely bad now. Hu Xiao Pass had clearly broken a big gap, but the three major legions of the guards, the northwest and southwest took turns to fight. After ten days of attack, they were unable to enter. Meng Yan was furious and killed the three division commanders of the two major legions in the southwest. The situation still failed to change!

What made Meng Yan furious was not only the war at Hu Xiao Pass, but also Meng Hu’s northern wing partial division!

In the past two days, there have been constant rewards from scouts. A large group of Mingyue Imperial Army has appeared two hundred miles north of Hu Xiao Pass. It is roughly estimated that there are two to three legions of troops. The situation is obvious. Meng Hu's northern wing division failed to block the reinforcements from the northern states of the Mingyue Empire. The situation that Meng Yan was most worried about was still the case. The Mingyue Imperial Army had secretly detoured to the side of Mengyan's middle army.

There are two roads in front of Meng Yan now.

First, he attacked Xijing at all costs. As long as he knocked on the Tiger Roar Pass and drove straight into Xijing, the Mingyue Empire would perish and everything else would be irrelevant. Second, he would withdraw his troops and retreat immediately. With the current strength of the Mingyue Empire army, he would not have the strength to recover Qu'a and even the entire Qingzhou.

There is no doubt that withdrawing troops to protect Qingzhou is a safe plan, but Meng Yan was unwilling to give up. He spent nearly two months outside the Hu Xiao Pass and lost more than 100,000 troops. Seeing that Hu Xiao Pass was about to open in front of him, Meng Yan would not be willing to let him withdraw his troops at this time.

Pu Sanzhi hesitated for a while, but still stepped forward to persuade: "I thought I could no longer waste the Tiger Roar Pass. Your Highness should make a quick decision and return to Qu A to protect Qingzhou. Otherwise, if you really wait for the Mingyue army in the north to come over, I am afraid that even Qingzhou will not be able to be protected!"

"Shut up!"

At this time, Meng Yan didn't listen to the advice at all and furiously said, "If you dare to disturb the morale of the army, you will definitely be killed without forgiveness!"

When Pu Sanzhi heard this, he was silent, but felt a chill in his heart. Shi Miyuan, who was on the other side, suddenly said: "Your Highness, the Mingyue Guard in the Pass is at its end. Our army only needs to add another force to attack. There is a way for Beizhi to help Your Highness take down the Hu Xiao Pass!"

"Oh?" Meng Yan said anxiously when he heard this, "Sir, what should I do?"
