Chapter 183: Soldiers to Jialing Pass
Chapter 183: The soldiers arrived at Jialing Pass
Jialing Pass is located in the mountains connected to the southwest and northwest of Bavaria. It was originally a narrow passage connecting western Bavaria. Three hundred years ago, when Bavaria expanded its strength here, building a pass here, with 20,000 troops stationed here, in order to protect the vast and fertile plains in the southwest of Bavaria from harassment by the countries in the northwest to fight the enemy. However, with the continuous expansion of Bavaria, Jialing Pass was abandoned. However, in recent years, due to Andre's increasing power, in order to prevent Andre, Jialing Pass, located between the mountains, was re-activated and reinforced again. The Jialing Pass is now garrisoning 20,000 troops in case of emergencies. I didn't expect that it would be used now.
The 35th Legion set out overnight. It took more than two months to move the direction of the King Capital to reach the vicinity of Jialing Pass. The 34th Legion and the 33rd Legion were responsible for stationing in the northeast. Others, including the Royal Capital Guards and the Swamp Legion and the Swamp Legion affiliated legion, also had seven other legions, a total of ten legions, led by Grand Marshal Kansas, fought a decisive battle with Andre's army head-on.
"Sir, further forward is Jialing Pass. The commander of the Legion ordered us to enter first to help guard Jialing Pass. The rest of the troops will arrive later..." A slash came from the front of the team, kneeled in front of Bai Qi and said respectfully.
"Well... that's it... well, let's go in first..." Bai Qi was stunned at first after hearing this, then nodded and took his troops toward Jialing Pass in the distance. It was dozens of miles away from Jialing Pass, and the 35th Army had 200,000 people. Although Jialing Pass could be settled, it needed an adjustment and many cumbersome physical objects to be arranged. These tasks needed to be completed by Bai Qi's First Division.
As he spoke, the dust flew, and Bai Qi's First Division headed towards Jialing Pass. As for the remaining four divisions, they started to rest on the spot. After more than two months of long journey, the recruits were already exhausted and needed some repairs.
About half an hour later, Bai Qi and his men came to the surroundings of Jialing Pass. After passing through the rolling canyon, he came to Jialing Pass in front of the canyon. Bai Qi could hear a shout of killing from afar. His face changed immediately. He immediately ordered Xuan Yu beside him: "Go... inform the commander of the army and say the battle in Jialing Pass!"
After saying that, he shouted: "All the cavalry rushed over with me, and the infantry marched together."
While speaking, he rode his horse and whipped his whip and headed towards Jialing Pass, which had already ignited wolf smoke and shouted to kill in the sky. After a while, when Bai Qi and his cavalry arrived at Jialing Pass, he saw corpses falling from above the city wall dozens of meters high. The Bavarian army in red uniforms and the Andrei army in yellow uniforms kept fighting there, and depending on the situation, it was already very bad because Andrei's army had rushed to the city tower, and many parts of the city wall were damaged.
Seeing this scene, Bai Qi pulled out his long sword without saying a word, and jumped up and burst into a blue light. He jumped up dozens of meters and went straight to the city tower. He solved several Andrei's troops with one knife and began to help defend the city.
After Bai Qi rushed up, the cavalrymen following Bai Qi looked like about 5,000. They all turned over and got off the horse and picked up their weapons. They rushed up the city tower along the stairs and began to help defend the city. Although these cavalry were the most precious and lively forces and they were used to fight the enemy, they didn't care about so much at this time. Once Jialing Pass was broken, they would not be able to have a good time. Therefore, under Bai Qi's leadership, they rushed to the top of the city.
"Brothers, kill me~~Our reinforcements are here~Brothers...fight with them!!" I don't know who called me first, and everyone around me started to join the war. They were already desperate and suddenly saw the reinforcements and suddenly felt energetic.
The defenders of Jialing Pass were as fierce as Viagra, especially under the leadership of Bai Qi, the tiger. The blue fighting spirit burst out from his body, constantly shuttled between the city towers, and there was almost no one-way general. All the people passing by Bai Qi died under Bai Qi's knife. Almost no second knife was killed by one. The slender ladders were also cut off by Bai Qi. To say something that should not have been said, Bai Qi was overtaken by thousands of elite soldiers and was more flexible.
Someone once said this: a group of lions are still a group of sheep, and a group of sheep is a group of wolves under the leadership of a lion. Bai Qi is obviously the lion. The remaining tens of thousands of defenders of Jialing Pass and Bai Qi's five thousand men under Bai Qi were like tens of thousands of hungry wolves, who rushed to the city tower in an instant, and all the flame army that dared to approach were killed without leaving any.
I don’t know how long it took to fight. It seemed that it had been several centuries, or just a few minutes. When Bai Qi came to his senses, the infantry led by Bai Qi, the subsequent troops, had arrived one after another. When these new recruits who had not participated in the war, saw the miserable scene in front of them and the dead, many of them were trembling with fear. However, after all, they were strictly trained. Although the scene in front of them shocked them... it was not long before they rushed up with weapons, and bright red flags filled the city tower.
Until the sun set, everyone had already entered the battle, and had adapted to the war and became more and more skillful. After Bai Qi's new recruits continued to die, they started to attack and killed one invading enemy after another.
Finally, the horn of retreat appeared in the flames at the moment when the sun set. The flames, like a torrent, retreated one after another, and could no longer be seen from afar, leaving only the corpses all over the ground. Bai Qi's sudden appearance saved the entire Jialing Pass and the entire 35th Legion. It can be imagined that the opponent's strength was definitely above the 35th Legion. If there was no such huge pass leader, the 35th Legion would probably be like a lonely boat in the sea and was flooded by this torrent.
"Huh... Let's rest, the First Corps of the First Division stayed with the handle, and the rest were all resting..." Bai Qi breathed a long sigh after seeing the other party retreat, put away the blood-stained sword on his waist and said so.
Before the arrival of the 35th Legion, the Grand Marshal Kansas, as the Supreme Commander of the Bavarian combat force, had ordered all the defenders in Jialing Pass to be allocated to the 35th Legion, so in fact, the 35th Legion could already exercise absolute power here. Moreover, Bai Qi was a general and a major general, but the supreme commander here was just a school official. According to Bavarian regulations, Bai Qi had an absolute say here.
"Yes." The soldiers around him received the orders. Bai Qi's bravery and strong strength had conquered all the soldiers present. Everyone was willing to obey his words, not to mention that Bai Qi's orders were justified.
"By the way, call all your superiors over here... I want to hold a meeting for them first and ask about their situation. I will wait for them in the big tent." After saying this, Bai Qi grabbed two soldiers and said to them.
"Sir, please follow the order..." The two soldiers responded quickly, and then left the city tower like two rabbits. When they reached the tent, several school officials had already arrived at Bai Qi's tent. It seemed that all the school officials had arrived, but the number was not large, only a dozen, and the others... should have all died. After all, when they saw the tragic scene and the corpses on the ground, they knew that many people should have died...
Of course, those who survived were not much better. They were injured. Some wrapped their heads with gauze, some tied their arms with gauze, and helped each other to Bai Qi, and then saluted to Bai Qi and said, "See sir..."
They were about to kneel down when they spoke, but they were stopped by Bai Qi. Bai Qi pulled them and sighed and said, "Okay, don't talk about these things at this time, where is your highest officer?"
"This... he died in battle..." A school official said with a sad expression after hearing this. After saying this, the people around him lowered their heads, as if they were immersed in sadness.
"Oh... don't be too sad. Your chief is a hero... He died for the country. I believe the country will remember him... I won't say this anymore... Come and come in... I still have some things to ask you." Bai Qi sighed and said slowly.
After saying that, Bai Qi turned around and left and entered the tent. Dozens of officers behind him entered the tent following Bai Qi's footsteps, and then sat down one after another, sitting next to Bai Qi's side. Looking at Bai Qi in front of him, quietly waiting for Bai Qi's question, but there was still a low atmosphere in the tent, constantly hovering there.
"Everyone... Okay, put away my sadness. I have something to ask you... I hope you can answer me well..." Bai Qi, who was sitting in the seat, sat up straight, looked at the group of people in front of him and said loudly.
"Yes... sir." The officers around him sat upright after hearing this, shouting in unison. For a moment, the atmosphere seemed a little high again.
"Yeah~!" Eun looked at the circle of people around him with satisfaction and then Bai Qi whispered to the group of subordinates in front of him: "Everyone... I want to ask who knows how many people we still have now?"
"Sir, our Jialing Pass has 81,200 troops, but two thousand people are seriously injured and cannot fight again. Two hundred people are completely disabled. The remaining eight thousand troops are all injured, but they can fight again." An officer stood up and replied respectfully.
"When did the Flame Army start attacking? The original information said that it took them at least three months, and now it is only a little over two months. Why have they started attacking? How long have they been here? How many people are there?" Bai Qi asked in confusion while sitting there.
"This... sir... we don't know. They have been here for three days and are constantly attacking every day. We don't know how many people there are, but there is at least one legion in front of us. As for why they arrived early, we don't know." An officer gave Bai Qi the most sincere answer, that is, he didn't know about it after asking questions, but it is understandable. After all, these defenders were stunned when they were suddenly attacked. After all, according to the intelligence and battle situation of the kingdom, the arrival of the Flame Army took at least three months to arrive in early spring. However, they arrived early and launched an attack, which made people a little unacceptable for a while.
"That's it... Then, you can rest first and have a good rest. I think you haven't had a good sleep during this period. Leave the matter of defending the city to my hands. I think the army will arrive tomorrow morning, so you don't have to worry about anything you arrive. We have a legion, and no matter how many enemies there are, we can defend it... All the matters will be left to us." Bai Qi, who was sitting there, said lightly after hearing this.
After saying that, he waved his hand to let the people around him leave, but Bai Qi began to conceive a question in his mind, that is, why the follow-up personnel of the 35th Legion were not yet reached. Logically speaking, he set out earlier than them only an hour ago. Even if they had already started to rest, they packed up their luggage and moved forward slowly at this time, so why did they not come yet? This made Bai Qi a little depressed and puzzled.
What's more, as a marching general, Ben Lanling heard that Jialing Pass was in trouble. The most effective and direct method should be to send cavalry to raid Jialing Pass to ensure that the pass was fine. You should know that Jialing Pass is a talisman of the 35th Legion. If Jialing Pass fails, it is probably difficult for the 35th Legion to keep it. Ben is also a commander of the legion. He has been through the battlefield for a long time and should not have made such a low-level mistake, but he did not do so. He even hasn't sent troops to this point, which made Bai Qi very worried.
Bai Qi didn't understand what was going on. Just in case Bai Qi had already told his subordinates to close the long-open door behind Jialing Pass, but Bai Qi couldn't calm down.
After hesitating for a while, Bai Qi put aside this matter and didn't think about it much. Now that I think about it, I'd say more and unintentionally. It's better to think about something else. As for what happened to the 35th Legion, Bai Qi decided to go and see it myself tomorrow morning. I won't have to think about it for the time being tonight...
No matter what happened there, at least it would not affect Jialing Pass tonight, and there should be no problem with the 1st Corps. Bai Qi's thoughts began to shift to other issues, such as... why Andre's hands came down so quickly, why... how many Andre's soldiers were... These... are all issues that must be paid attention to, because if Bai Qi didn't pay attention to these, it would not work at all.
These problems are crucial to Jialing Pass now. If you don’t understand these things, even if all members of the 35th Legion arrive, you still cannot solve the problem. Although Bai Qi is not the leader of the 35th Legion, at least one thing is certain, that is, Bai Qi is now the highest commander of Jialing Pass, and all he needs to do is to consider everything that may happen in all aspects.
Just as Bai Qi was thinking about this, suddenly the lights were bright outside, and then a noise came. When Bai Qi stood up and walked out of the camp to see what was going on, a group of soldiers rushed over. From a distance, there was a figure covered in blood in the middle of them, and they couldn't see clearly what it looked like. When he got closer, he found that this was no one else, but his own personal soldier Xiao Xuanyu. At this time, Xuanyu was covered in blood, covered in scars, and there were a few arrow feathers behind him. With Bai Qi's eyes, it was not difficult to see that these were all customized arrow feathers in the army...
This scene made Bai Qi stunned at first, and then his face became solemn. Bai Qi subconsciously told himself that something must have happened... and this matter was beyond his imagination. Although he didn't want to listen or know, Bai Qi couldn't help but take two steps forward and said excitedly to Xuan Yu in front of him: "What's wrong with you? What happened?"
Xuan Yu was already drowsy at this moment, with his eyes closed, his face full of blood. His face, which was not stained with blood, was also extremely white. It was supposed to be because of excessive blood loss. When he heard Bai Qi's voice, he opened his eyes hard, glanced at Bai Qi in front of him and said weakly in his hoarse voice: "Great... Lord... Legion Commander... Legion Commander was imprisoned. The upper level... Several division commanders and deputy commanders rebelled and killed... The Second. Third Division Commander... The entire army... Mutiny."
"What!" The people around him looked eloquent when they heard this, one was ugly than the other, and Bai Qi couldn't help but scream. The whole army mutiny... Someone actually joined forces with the deputy commander to imprison the commander of the army... This was simply a rebellion, and at this time the reinforcements in the rear mutiny meant that the entire Jialing Pass had become an isolated city, with wolves in front and tigers in the back, and they could be attacked on both sides at any time. In this case, everyone here was dead.
After saying that, Xuan Yu fainted. Bai Qi hurriedly stood up and shouted, "Come here... Find a military doctor for him, and you must cure him... Do you know nothing today? If anyone says it, immediately apply for military law and kill him without any hesitation!"
"Yes~ sir..." The soldiers around him looked at each other, and then hurriedly responded. They also understood that if this matter was spread, the morale of the army would be disintegrated, and deserters would immediately appear in Jialing Pass, and there would be no way to fight this battle, so they all made up their minds to never talk about this matter.
