The United Kingdom troops under Zhou Ting rushed to help Baima Pass, although they tried their best to keep it secret.
However, their army has been expanding too fast this year, and many spies from the vast sea have been mixed in.
This time the news leaked out, causing them to fall into an ambush by the Hanhai Undead Army in the area north of Kaiyuan City.
The United Kingdom army that was marching in a hurry encountered a sudden attack from the undead army, and the United Kingdom army suddenly became a mess.
Although the officers at all levels tried their best to gather the troops to fight back, but this time the undead army can be said to be dispatched in full force, so how can it be so easy to repel them.
The battle lasted until midnight, and the noisy battlefield gradually quieted down.
It's not that the United Kingdom's army was destroyed, but that the two sides fought from noon to midnight, and both sides paid a huge price.
After the tragic melee, the mountains and plains were full of dead bodies and the wailing of wounded soldiers before they died.
The living soldiers were all exhausted and unable to fight, and the undead army was also unable to launch a new round of offensive, so they could only rest and fight again.
The army of the United Kingdom was compressed and divided on several mountains by the Hanhai army, and fell into a tight siege.
Around these mountains are densely packed torches. Those are the encircling troops of the Hanhai Undead Legion. They are taking the time to eat, rest and replenish their physical strength, and prepare to launch a general attack after the light is too bright.
Compared with the vast sea army who stopped to eat steaming meals, the besieged United Kingdom army was extremely miserable.
After a bloody fight, they were finally not defeated, but their current situation is extremely dangerous, and their entire army may be wiped out at any time.
"Take the time to rest and eat dry food!"
"The wounded brother should be bandaged as soon as possible!"
"We have been attacked by those bastards, but we will not fail!"
"We are not far from Baimaguan, someone will meet me!"
The soldiers of the United Kingdom, who were soaked in blood, were lying on the ground to rest or bandage their wounds, while the officers continued to appease the demoralized army regardless of fatigue.
Although the officers are trying their best to stabilize the army, everyone's face is solemn because they know their dangerous situation.
Near a cliff, dozens of burly guards were guarding with swords and spears in their hands. General Zhou Ting was having a meeting with a group of officers.
?The heavy losses in the ambush left many of the officers with scars on their bodies, and some familiar faces were missing, and it was unknown whether they were captured or killed.
Seeing the dignified and dejected expressions of the officers, General Zhou Ting also felt uncomfortable.
The army of the United Kingdom was almost formed by him, with the former Qingzhou Army as the backbone.
After continuous development and expansion, the total force scattered in the three states has exceeded 100,000, and nearly 100 strongholds have been established.
But this time he led the main force to rescue Baimaguan, who knew that the news leaked, resulting in heavy losses.
You must know that these are all his painstaking efforts, and now that he has lost so much at once, he is also heartbroken.
But now the crisis of the United Kingdom army has not been resolved. As the supreme commander, he can only hide his sadness. If he is all pessimistic and disappointed, this army will be finished.
"Has the casualty result been counted?"
Zhou Ting asked a combat staff member.
"General, we have made rough statistics. There are more than 15,000 brothers on our side, and the situation on the other mountains is unclear." The combat staff said in a low voice.
Hearing that there were only more than 10,000 troops left on their side, Zhou Ting couldn't help cursing angrily.
"This blood feud should be recorded with the Undead Legion first, and we will settle it with them later, and let them pay with blood!" Zhou Ting said through gritted teeth.
He Zhou Ting and the Undead Legion have fought against each other several times, and he has dealt heavy damage to the Undead Legion.
This time they capsized in the gutter and fell into the hands of the undead army, Zhou Ting felt quite aggrieved.
"We were indeed careless in this battle, but we still have more than 10,000 brothers, and there are many brothers on other mountains. As long as one of us is alive, we will not be defeated!"
"Your Majesty once said that failure?It¡¯s a common thing for military strategists, so don¡¯t be dejected after a short-term defeat, the brothers are still counting on you to bring them back to fight back for revenge! "
"Cheer me up!"
In the voice of General Zhou Ting, the dejected officers also raised their heads one by one.
"Through the interrogation of the captives we captured, we learned that only the Hanhai Undead Legion surrounded us, and their Royal City Guard First Legion and King City Guard Second Legion did not come."
"Although the Undead Legion has forty full field teams, this is a mountainous area. It is not so easy for them to eat us!" Zhou Ting said loudly.
"However, we should not stay here and fight for a long time. The longer the time drags on, the worse it will be for us."
"So I decided to break out in an hour and fight my way out!"
Zhou Ting knew that there were many Hanhai Dynasty troops in Qingzhou, so he didn't dare to fight.
"General, are we going to withdraw?"
Asked Lu Quan, the legion commander with his face covered in blood-oozing gauze.
"Now that our whereabouts have been exposed, it may be very difficult to withdraw our stronghold now."
They are now close to Baima Pass, which is far away from their stronghold at the junction of Qingzhou and Fuzhou.
Once they turn back and retreat, not only will they face the pursuit of the undead army, but also the rest of the surrounding Hanhai army will chase and intercept them, and they can no longer retreat now.
Besides, they were rushing to help Baima Pass in an emergency, and almost all of them marched lightly, and the dry food they carried was not enough for them to withdraw.
"Now we can only break out towards Baima Pass. As long as we can enter Baima Pass, we will be safe." Zhou Ting said.
Lu Quan said worriedly: "But now that the Fire Phoenix Legion is attacking the White Horse Pass, it is estimated that there will be many difficulties for us to enter the pass."
"When the Fire Phoenix Army is attacking the White Horse Pass, we will fight out from behind them. They will be in chaos, and we can take the opportunity to enter the pass."
"Too risky."
"There is nothing we can do now. There are no strongholds in the surrounding areas, and there are vast sea troops everywhere. If we stay in the mountains and deal with them, so many brothers will die of starvation even if they don't fight." Zhou Ting also sighed. Take a breath.
"The top priority now is to quickly break out of the encirclement and get rid of the pursuit of the Hanhai Undead Legion!"
"Just now, the head of the White Army sent someone to contact us, and the troops of the head of the White Army were surrounded on the opposite mountain."
"I have already conveyed the order to him. They will break out to the northeast, and we will also break out to the northeast. After attracting the main force of the vast sea, we will turn back to the west"
General Zhou Ting quickly told the officers all about his breakout plan, and immediately asked them to go back to prepare as soon as possible, and break out in an hour!
