"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1158
It was dawn, and Han Haijun, who had attacked for half the night, receded like a tide. Corpses were piled up on the white horse pass wall filled with black smoke. Scarlet blood seeped into the brick wall and solidified into dark red.
The troops of the Qinghe army guarding the wall looked like they had been fished out of a pool of blood. Their military uniforms were torn and their bodies were covered in scars.
Repelling the Han Navy did not make the guards of the Qinghe Army happy. They looked tired and heavy. Because of the half-night battle, thousands of Paoze died in battle, and they could never wake up again.
Although the Han Navy has withdrawn from the range of long-range weapons at the White Horse Pass, when viewed from the pass wall, it can be seen that the roads, fields and mountains outside the pass are covered with dense and endless Hanhai troops.
Seeing the huge army with banners waving like boundless waves, the soldiers of the Qinghe Army guarding Baima Pass were all very solemn.
The soldiers of the Qinghe Army are all elite divisions tempered from the flames of war, but their opponents are all crazily expanded armies from all walks of life in the Far East, and their combat effectiveness is not very strong.
And with their skilled tactical coordination and intelligence support, they often defeated all enemies in the Far East.
But what they are facing now is the army of the vast sea, which is a well-trained national standing army armed to the teeth all the way, which is very different from the temporary army of the Far East.
In the battle last night alone, the Hanhai army poured hundreds of thousands of arrows into Baima Pass, and the entire pass wall was densely packed with arrows, like hedgehogs.
In the past, the Qinghe army's bows and crossbows were sharp, and they were used to suppress the enemy, but last night they were suppressed and beaten by the Hanhai side, and many of the brothers who died in battle were killed by arrows.
Surrounded by all the generals, Wang Cheng, head of the Fourth Field Army of the Qinghe Army, climbed the sticky and slippery city ladder to the wall.
Seeing the arrows, broken weapons, shattered shields and layers of corpses scattered all over the wall, Wang Cheng, a veteran, looked extremely serious.
Wang Cheng was born in the Southern Army. Before he joined the Qinghe Army, he had only participated in the battle against the rogue bandits and the battle with the Qinghe Army. He had never fought against the Hanhai side.
And now he was ordered to lead the Fourth Field Army to garrison Baima Pass. This was his first real participation in the battle against foreign humiliation.
Seeing the piled corpses on the wall and the wounded soldiers howling in pain, he could imagine the cruelty of the battle last night without thinking about it.
Wang Cheng, the commander of the Fourth Army, actually wanted to go to the city to command the battle in person at the beginning of the battle, but was dissuaded by the deputy commanders Wang Hu and Dong Hao.
After all, as the commander of the legion, he is the commander-in-chief of the whole army. He must not make mistakes. He must sit in the pass and command the battle, and let the banner commanders take charge of the front-line fighting.
When the battle was most intense, Wang Cheng, the army commander, could not go up to the Guanqiang to take command, so he had to send the deputy army commander Wang Hu to lead the army to help the Guanqiang.
Under the joint efforts of a flag regiment led by deputy army commander Wang Hu and Zhou Ting's 18th flag regiment, Han Haijun's several large-scale attacks were repelled.
Now that the sky is getting colder, Wang Cheng, the regiment commander who heard the fierce fighting in the middle of the night, was able to go up to the wall to learn about the battle situation.
"I have seen the leader of the legion!"
Seeing Wang Cheng, the head of the army, go up to the wall, Wang Hu, the deputy head of the army, and Zhou Ting, the head of the Eighteenth Banner, who were busy directing the treatment of the wounded and adjusting the deployment, rushed up to meet them.
In the last battle before dawn, Deputy Army Commander Wang Cheng and Banner Commander Zhou Ting also had to fight Han Haijun with their sabers.
Therefore, the two of them no longer had the clean and tidy appearance before, but were covered in blood, and their faces were smothered by the burning smoke like the bottom of a pot, looking quite embarrassed.
"How about the casualties?"
Now the chief of the army, Wang Cheng, is most concerned about the casualties of the army, because looking at the piles of corpses on the city wall mountain, he also has no idea.
"Master Legion Commander, more than 2,000 people were killed in the 18th Banner Regiment in the field battle, more than 800 people were killed in the 20th Banner Regiment in the field battle, and more than 3,000 people were injured. The specific figures are being counted." Wang Hu, the deputy head of the army, replied. .
Hearing that only in the middle of the night, nearly 3,000 brothers were killed in the two banner regiments, which made the generals who climbed the wall gasp.
You must know that the combat effectiveness of the Qinghe Army is no longer comparable. The soldiers have experienced the tempering of the war, and their combat effectiveness is quite strong.
The Qinghe army captured the entire eastern province and lost less than 5,000 brothers.?And now nearly 3,000 people were killed in the middle of the night, not to mention those who were seriously injured or slightly injured. This number of casualties is indeed shocking.
"I didn't get any cheap offal from the sea, and the casualties were at least twice as many as ours!"
Zhou Ting, the head of the 18th Banner, was also red-eyed. After kicking the corpse of a Hanhai soldier lying under his feet fiercely, he cursed angrily.
"How is the morale of the brethren?"
After inquiring about the casualties, Wang Cheng, the head of the legion, ordered the injured brothers to be sent down for treatment as soon as possible, and then asked about the situation while patrolling the closed wall.
"Master Legion, although our 18th Banner Regiment has suffered relatively large losses, the brothers are all fighting high, no problem!"
Wang Hu, the deputy head of the regiment, also echoed: "The brothers of the 20th Banner Regiment are all screaming, clamoring that Hanhai will pay for their blood!"
"The combat effectiveness of the Hanhai Army is not weak, and their weapons and equipment are not much worse than ours. Your Highness handed over the White Horse Pass to our Fourth Army, which is trusting us. We must not embarrass the Fourth Army and live up to His Highness's trust. !"
Seeing that although the battle was brutal, the morale of the soldiers on the wall was still high, Wang Cheng, the head of the army, also nodded, feeling confident.
"Don't worry, Legion Commander, as long as there is one member of our 18th Banner Regiment alive, we will never let Han Hai's offal cross the White Horse Pass!" Zhou Ting said murderously.
"You take my words to every brother. In the past, when we fought wars, several brothers in one family were fighting for division. No matter how fierce the fight was, the bones and tendons were broken!"
"But it's different now! Han Hai is an outsider, they want to beat us, want to seize our land, occupy our house, take away our wives and children, this is to resist foreign humiliation!"
"For the sake of the tens of thousands of people behind us, for our wives and children, and for our future generations, we must be firmly nailed here, and we must not let the conspiracy of the Hanhai thieves succeed!"
The army commander Wang Cheng said impassionedly, and the officers also heard their blood boiling. They knew that this was a different battle from the past.
In the past, they fought wars to fight for territory and to live a better life, but now they are fighting a national war, shouldering the responsibility of defending the country! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
