Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 542
In the twilight background, the Tielan Pass is full of corpses, the pungent bloody smell makes people sick, the broken swords are stained with blood, and the broken dragon flag is whimpered by the night wind, as if weeping for the countless soldiers who died in battle.

The day's fierce battle was over, and the exhausted soldiers were lying among the corpses like walking corpses. There was no smile on their faces, but numbness and silence. They watched the familiar robes die one by one in front of them. The veteran who was used to seeing life and death couldn't hide the sadness on his face at this moment, deep sobs could be heard from time to time amidst the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood...

"The third guard, the Fifth Banner Regiment is on guard, and the rest of the troops are withdrawn to the pass to rest." Marshal Lin Nuoyan confirmed that the Hanhai people will not attack again today, leaving the guard troops with not too serious losses, and will fight fiercely The whole day's soldiers withdrew to the pass.

The order to rest was issued, and the exhausted banner groups on the wall began to retreat to the inside of the wall. Unlike the high morale when they walked up the wall, the armor of the soldiers during the retreat was broken, and there was no strict formation, and there was no The faces of all the survivors were full of sorrow, and the sparse team made it even more desolate.

"Gang Yu, where are the people from your banner regiment?" Lin Nuoyan saw Gang Yu passing by listlessly carrying the broken black military flag, and asked, holding him.

"Marshal," Gang Yu saw Lin Nuoyan's voice choked up, "Marshal... the brothers have all gone, and there are only a few of us left..."

Gang Yu pointed to the several Nanchuan soldiers who were following behind him, who were fished out of the bloody water. The eyes of the iron-boned man were red and shimmering.

Lin Nuoyan remained silent. The Nanchuan Army was his subordinate soldier, and the [-] soldiers of the Banner Regiment, Gang Yu, were the elite among the elite.

"Marshal, we didn't embarrass the Nanchuan Army, and the brothers didn't embarrass you, Marshal either."

"Okay... well done, you guys are doing well, go down." Lin Nuoyan waved his hand, telling Gang Yu and the others to go down to rest, but Gang Yu and the others didn't see it, Lin Nuoyan's eye sockets were already wet.

As the commander-in-chief of the Nanchuan Army, he can bring the Nanchuan Army back to Nanchuan Province and continue to be their overlord. He can completely ignore the emperor's orders, but he can't. He used to be a general of the dynasty, and he is also the current Lin family Patriarch, he knows the truth that there are no eggs under a nest. He can't let the century-old Lin family bear the name of disloyalty and filial piety. It wasn't until he saw the scarred Nanchuan soldiers that Lin Nuoyan realized that he was too selfish... …

For the glory of the Lin family and for his own future, is it worth it to join so many Nanchuan soldiers?Lin Nuoyan shook his head, his heart was in great pain, and he was full of guilt.

For a whole day of fierce fighting, the two sides successively invested 50 million troops to fight and fight repeatedly around the wall that was less than five miles long. After a day of fierce fighting, both sides had no energy to continue fighting. There is a tacit understanding that they did not make small moves after the fierce battle.

The defenders paid heavy casualties in order to defend the pass wall, and the number of soldiers killed in battle reached an astonishing [-]. There has never been such a heavy casualty in the defense history of Tielan Pass Fortress. It has refreshed history.

The defenders suffered heavy losses, and the Hanhai Empire, which was the attacking side, also suffered a lot. Their camp was now full of wounded soldiers, screaming in pain and pain, and the army's camp was filled with low morale that had never been seen before.

The army of the Hanhai Empire has undergone rigorous training. They are synonymous with fierceness. Whether it is the barbarians in the alpine mountains or the bandits wandering along the coast, they are beaten to the ground by them.

The Far East Army of the dynasty was also defeated by them for thousands of miles. They marched westward from the Hanhai Empire, broke through hundreds of fortresses, and occupied a vast land of thousands of miles without encountering an enemy.

However, they were beaten badly under the Tielan Pass fortress. Before the battle, they even clamored to enter Tielan Pass for lunch, but the elite Hanhai infantry paid the price for their arrogance.

In the headquarters of the Marshal of the Western Expedition, Marshal Orlando held a list of dead soldiers in his hand. The long string of scarlet words made it difficult for him to breathe: 510 dead soldiers, 39 division commanders, and regimental commanders [-] people...

"Shame! Shame!" Orlando slapped the list heavily on the wooden table, roaring angrily.

In the past 30 years of the Hanhai Empire, the total number of soldiers lost was less than 10, but now they have killed [-] elite soldiers in just one day!For the arrogant Hanhai Empire, this is not only a shame, but also a blow to the head. The Far East Dynasty is not as weak as they imagined.

The Hanhai generals in the command headquarters also lost their previous arrogance. They were covered in blood, and they lowered their heads to let Marshal Orlando scold them. In the face of heavy casualties, all their honors were demolished, their fists creaked, full of blood. Unwilling.

"Don't you claim to be elite?! But look at what battles you fought! Are you worthy of the empire!" Orlando pointed at the noses of the generals and cursed loudly.

"Master Marshal, it's not that the boys don't work hard, but that Tielan Pass is too evil, and those dynasty soldiers are like crazy, we can't beat them at all." A banner leader couldn't help but refute.

Marshal Orlando scolded: "Excuses! Everything is an excuse!"

"My eyes have not been blinded by the sand, let me see what you have done today! The soldiers of the empire who were once brave and good at fighting did not go to the battlefield with swords and guns. Women!! Do you think you can win!? As commanders, you forgot your own bravery and turned into money-grubbing landowners! You just hide behind and yell!"

Marshal Orlando rebuked the generals mercilessly, and all the resignation of the generals turned into shame, and they lowered their once proud heads in shame.

The army of the Hanhai Empire is indeed very powerful, but in the past few weeks, they have been advancing like a broken bamboo, and they are almost invincible in attacking the city. The continuous victories make them arrogant and arrogant, and the plundered wealth makes them The combat effectiveness of the army also continued to decline, which was the main reason why they were able to sweep across the thirteen provinces in the Far East, but failed at Tielan Pass.

Although Marshal Orlando knew that he had underestimated the enemy, as a commander, as a marshal, he naturally couldn't admit his mistakes, so the generals became his outlet.

After the anger dissipated, Orlando ordered in a deep voice: "Pass the order! I don't care what you do with those property and women, but starting tomorrow morning, if I find that the soldiers are still carrying women and property, the superior officer will kill them all!"

"Of order!" The generals raised their heads in unison, and answered in a neat and sonorous voice.
