Chapter 399 Building a Line of Defense
At the top of the day, there are several messengers waiting outside the command tent of the Chinese army at any time. If there is an urgent military situation, they can send it to the other two camps as soon as possible.

"They've been running the meeting all night."

"Don't talk about it all night, it's almost noon now, don't you want to talk about it until night?"

"I don't know what happened."

"It must have found clues to other humans."

"Then hurry up and get in touch with the other party."

"You know what a fart, the officer must have their considerations, we just wait honestly."

"Too."

While the few people were chatting, they saw two people suddenly walking out of the tent, one was Xu Ling and the other was Zhang Yuan.

"You immediately go and notify the acting commanders of the other two routes, and all gather in the middle route, telling them to act immediately without delay."

"Yes, sir!"

They have been in contact with Xu Ling several times, and they only feel that this senior colonel has a kind of sluggish feeling, but generally speaking, they are not too afraid, but it is different when they see Zhang Yuan. The vicious major general said casually Anything can make them feel cold sweat running down their backs.

Several correspondents did not dare to delay, and took the issued warrants and rushed to the upper and lower camps separately.

Back in the command tent, Zhu Taran had already started to issue orders one by one.

"After the whole army arrived, they camped in place and divided into four squads, who took turns to guard the pass. From now on, 24-hour surveillance must be ensured, and the enemy must not be touched by the enemy without knowing it."

A staff officer suggested: "You can send some scouts to patrol the cliffs around the pass, in case those monsters have other means to climb those mountains."

Although the terrain is high and steep, but they are not familiar with humanoid monsters at present, so there is no guarantee that they have no means of climbing walls or digging into the ground.

Xu Ling said: "Perhaps we can take the lead in crossing the pass and occupying the position before they press up for the time being. Otherwise, if they react and occupy the other end, they will be frozen."

Chu Xiaojun retorted: "No, it's okay to go through, but we haven't fought them yet. If the situation is unfavorable, it's hard to retreat on the other side."

At this time, a few staff officers who had been studying the world map for a long time suddenly turned around and said to everyone: "The terrain has been measured. If you want to bypass the mountains on both sides to outflank, the distance is too far. Considering The Warcraft along the way will take at least a few months on the road, and there is no means of remote contact, well, it is not realistic."

Zhang Yuan patted the table: "It's so fucking annoying, this pass is designed to fight against us, Brother Zhu, give me an elite brigade, I'll go straight over and kill them all."

Zhu Taran shook his head dumbfoundingly: "What kind of elite do you want?"

"Hmm... a hundred of Xu Ling's are enough."

"Sorry, the request is too high, I can't find it."

Xu Ling watched the conversation between the two with a question mark on his face, is he a unit of measurement?

Within two hours, the other two troops also came to join the Central Army. Xu Ling went to the investigation team's camp to inform the others about the incident, and it was inevitable that there would be another burst of advice and suggestions.

"Can you go around the mountains on both sides and copy their butts?"

"Can you climb up the cliff and turn over from the top of the mountain?"

"Can you use the equipment to dig the pass and charge?"

Xu Ling stopped the crowd's commotion: "Okay, okay, you said so much, so many staff officers in the headquarters would not have thought of it? Now we just need to wait for the order, don't make noise, keep your spirits up, and be ready for battle at any time."

Then, he communicated with the headquarters again, confirmed the deployment location, and then asked Liu Tao to make arrangements.

Here, the policy of the expeditionary force is to form a defensive position first, to ensure that the enemy has the ability to resist after a surprise attack, and then send people to guard the pass.

It didn't take long before the east side of the pass was already surrounded by expeditionary troops, and a brigade of warriors was guaranteed to be on duty 24 hours a day. Four brigades of magic crystal firearms troops were on guard in rotation. More than a dozen snipers were hiding around, armed with weapons of that kind. A rifle that can fire Tier [-] ammo.

This kind of defense, not to mention monsters or humanoid monsters, even a mosquito can't even think about flying out.

Xu Ling's main contribution here is the two firearms brigades. His men are saturated with ammunition and well-equipped, and they have to undertake heavier tasks at this time.

He followed the people he sent out to the vicinity of the pass, and saw that there were already a dozen corpses of monsters piled up behind the line of defense.

"Did you just come out of it?" He asked someone casually.

"Yes, sir, they still send a small group of monsters out every four hours in an attempt to scout the situation, and we just killed them."

Xu Ling nodded, and then walked forward, where Zhu Taran and others were also surveying the terrain.

"The width of this channel... really can't accommodate a large troop charge."

Reckless as Zhang Yuan also had to admit that some terrains were really not suitable for combat.

That's why Xu Ling suggested just now to let all the troops pass through before the opponent finds out.

Zhu Taran said: "You guys plan, how many people can pass through this passage at the most at the same time, we will send an assault force to try."

"Going over?" Chu Xiaojun asked.

"Well, although it's difficult to withdraw a large force in the past, if it's just a small force, it's more mobile and can pass through the pass smoothly, so it can still be considered."

Zhu Taran said, "After all, we have seen that they have captured some human beings, and we should find a way to rescue them both publically and privately."

"really."

Even if you don't talk about emotions, just from a utilitarian point of view, rescuing humans will help you understand what happened here.

A few hours later, the second batch of monsters came out of the pass again.

They were sent out by humanoid monsters for reconnaissance, but they were often wiped out by the expeditionary forces. Sometimes it was normal for a certain group to fail to return, so the wave of deaths a few hours ago did not seem to arouse their vigilance.

So these unlucky guys were caught almost within a minute.

This time, the expeditionary force did not directly kill them, but chose to capture them alive.

Although I have seen it before, the monsters here are not different from those around the Xia Kingdom, but since it is confirmed that they can communicate with humanoid monsters, it is reasonable to catch them and study them carefully. Anyway, they are all low-level ones, and they are placed everywhere. There will be no threat in the expeditionary force positions.

At the same time, Zhu Talan ordered more than a dozen people, and Chu Xiaojun led them through the pass to investigate the reality.

This time, Xu Ling was still at the forefront, using the Windwalk to walk out of the narrow passage to confirm that the opponent still did not send heavy troops to defend, and then called the other dozen people over.

This was the first time for other people to cross the pass, and their reaction was the same as Xu Ling's at that time, they couldn't help but look around, but Chu Xiaojun quickly drew everyone's attention back.

"This time, we're not just doing scouting. If conditions permit, we can fight against those humanoid monsters to see what they are capable of."
