Chapter 272 Anxi Army's Self-Saving (4000 Words Two in One Chapter)(1/2)
Gobi.
This is the thirty-seventh day since the Anxi Army left the Protectorate.
Although they successfully broke through the blockade of the thirty-six-nation coalition in the Western Region, they still could not get rid of these enemy forces in a short time.
These guys are like tarsal maggots, following the Anxi army closely.
"Defender, what should we do now? It will take at least ten days and a half to reach the sandbank. The morale of the soldiers has dropped to the extreme. If this continues, I am worried that there will be a mutiny."
Mutinies in military camps are uncommon and usually occur only in times of extreme difficulty.
The situation facing the Anxi Army now is very critical.
First, they were being followed by enemy troops, and second, they were running out of food and fresh water.
This is a very dangerous signal in the desert or Gobi.
Without food and water, it was impossible for them to leave the Gobi.
Moreover, in order to compete for limited water resources, the former Pao Ze may also turn against each other.
This is due to the human instinct to survive, and it is impossible to suppress it.
"Let everyone grit their teeth and persist. We will reach the sandbank in five days' journey."
Although he knew that they were still a long way from the sandbank, Liu Lin had to adopt this method to boost morale.
Sometimes the difference is just in that breath.
If you bite it, many things will be different.
"Okay, then I will follow your instructions and tell the soldiers first, but if we don't arrive at the sandbank again in five days, I won't be able to hide it anymore."
"Well, just follow my instructions first."
After the adjutant retired, Liu Lin smiled bitterly and shook his head, his eyes full of exhaustion.
How could he, the dignified Protector of Anxi, end up like this?
It's really disappointing.
Feng Hao came over at some point and said calmly: "Actually, the situation is far from hopeless, otherwise the enemy army would not be able to just follow without attacking."
"Master Feng?"
Liu Lin was slightly surprised.
"How did you come?"
"Let me enlighten you. General Liu, look at your appearance now. You are so haggard that you no longer look like a person."
"If the soldiers of the Anxi Army saw this, how could they have confidence in their hearts?"
Feng Hao said earnestly: "We are still capable of fighting now. It is just the fatigue of the soldiers and the shortage of supplies. But these can be overcome. But if you have inner demons and fear, then
There is really nothing we can do.”
After a pause, Feng Hao continued: "Do you still remember the scene when we fought with the Western Region Allied Forces ten days ago? At that time, we were determined to die. There is a saying that is good, put it to death and survive. We only have
Only with the determination to die can you find a way out of this Shura field."
Feng Hao's words completely awakened Liu Lin.
His eyes were slightly red and his throat was a little choked.
"Master Feng, thank you."
"General Liu, you have to remember that anyone can fall now, but not you. You are the backbone of this army. Only if you hold on, can the soldiers hold on."
"Yeah, I understand."
Liu Lin's expression suddenly became resolute, and Feng Hao looked pleased when he saw this.
"Actually, I found that the Western Region Allied Forces seem to be incompatible with each other, which is also the key reason why they are unable to strangle us."
Feng Hao analyzed it carefully: "In fact, they and the Tantric Sect of the Western Regions have their own agendas. They only want to use each other and are not honest with each other at all. In this case, as long as we don't cause problems ourselves.
There is no way they can defeat us."
"Well..."
"I have used the teleportation technique to contact the governor of Shazhou and asked him to lead the army all the way west to meet us. So we don't need to reach Shazhou. We will probably receive assistance halfway."
“This is so great!”
For this Anxi army, this is absolutely great news.
Liu Lin clenched his fists excitedly and said, "Calculating this, the time it took for us to encounter reinforcements was almost five days. I did not lie to the soldiers, I did not lie to them."
Feng Hao only thought it was funny. It turned out that Liu Lin still cared about such a trivial matter.
Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters, let alone generals who command troops.
Once a general achieves great success, not only does he lie to them, but he does something extraordinarily excessive, as long as it is for the sake of the imperial court's plan, it is not a problem.
Of course, Liu Lin has his own persistence, and Feng Hao won't say much about it.
His mission is to help this Anxi army reach the sandbank safely.
...
...
He Yanwall, the commander-in-chief of the thirty-six-nation coalition in the Western Region, stared at the Anxi Army not far away with a look of resentment.
Although they have been following closely, he has been unable to issue the order to attack.
The reason is that the thirty-six-nation coalition is a rabble.
Each is thinking about their own interests and cannot be united at all.
In contrast, the Anxi Army was fighting them with a death wish.
The desire to win on both sides is not at the same level at all.
If you show an attitude that you don't want to win before the battle even begins, how can you still fight this battle?
Regardless of these, just talking about the Tantric Buddhism of the Western Regions also made He Yanwoer feel like he was holding back his breath.
These practitioners of Tantric Buddhism in the Western Regions believed that their abilities were outstanding, so they did not take the armies of various countries in the Western Regions seriously, let alone him, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.
If it hadn't been for the king's instructions before he left, Heyanwoer would have wanted to skin these two bitches alive.
If this continues, when the Anxi Army enters the sandbank, it will be even more difficult for them to intercept and kill them.
And if the Anxi Army is allowed to successfully return to the sandbank, it will be tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountains and causing endless troubles.
There is not much time left for the thirty-six-nation coalition in the Western Region.
There is not much time left for Heyanwall.
Therefore, in the next few days, Heyanwall must launch a raid, a raid that is much more ferocious than the last one in the Gobi Desert.
This is almost his last chance. If he still fails to succeed, then Heyanwall will have completely failed.
He didn't believe in fate, let alone that he would lose to a group of Central Plains people.
So this time he will risk everything, and he will not hesitate to use a secret technique popular among the barbarians in the Western Regions - Soul Curse Technique.
This is a type of ancient witchcraft that was specialized in the Western Regions and then spread among various tribes and city-states.
The core of the soul-cursing technique is to enchant the opponent's soul and then begin to demonize it.
Once their souls become demonized, these people will do things that are simply unimaginable in ordinary times.
One or two may not matter, but what about ten or eight?
How about dozens or hundreds?
What about hundreds or thousands?
What about thousands?
He Yanwall believed that as long as enough people were affected by the soul curse, the morale of the Anxi Army would be weakened, and the entire army would become vulnerable.
...
...
"Night attack, the enemy attacks at night!"
The guards of the Anxi Army discovered the enemy's intentions immediately and reported it promptly.
The Anxi Army's defense has always been excellent, and it is almost impossible for the enemy to launch a surprise attack without concealing it.
Soon the Anxi army took action, and the soldiers rushed out of the simple barracks and gathered together with weapons in hand.
Naturally the same goes for the Protector Liu Lin and the bad handsome man Feng Hao.
At this moment, they are the backbone of the Anxi Army, and every move they make will directly affect the overall performance of the Anxi Army.
"Don't panic, stay steady, we can win."
At this moment, Feng Hao remembered a sentence that his subordinate Zhao Xun often said, and blurted it out almost instinctively.
Although this sentence is very simple, it is full of power and makes people instantly full of energy.
"Brothers, hold on, don't be afraid to fight with them."
"Yes, what's so scary about being made of flesh and blood? Kill one to earn one, kill two to earn a pair."
"Fight them and charge!"
To be continued...
