Chapter 1859 Gritting Teeth and Strength
"Yes, it was Fu Shanlie who did it."
As soon as He Lingchuan gave instructions to the military doctor, Hu Min rushed in and said, "General Hong has sent an order that the Dafeng Army has arrived at the Yanshan battlefield. Please go and cooperate!"
General Hong is here? He Lingchuan was delighted and said to the injured: "Hold on, we will win soon!"
The wounded man wanted to nod, but the military doctor wouldn't let him, so he grabbed He Lingchuan's arm tightly, for a moment, and then slowly let go.
He Lingchuan washed the blood off his hands and strode out of the tent, leading his troops to the front line again.
In this battle, Fu Shanlie was caught off guard by the sudden arrival of the Dafeng Army and retreated in disgrace. He Lingchuan and General Hong chased them for more than 20 miles and returned at dawn.
However, after entering the camp, the medical officer reported the bad news:
"General Liu is too seriously injured. We... are powerless to save him."
He Lingchuan had anticipated this before leaving the camp, but upon hearing the bad news, his heart still sank and he sighed heavily. Fu Shanlie's claws were poisoned and difficult to treat, and the wound was in the vital part of his neck.
General Hong also jumped off his horse: "Liu Lin?"
"Yes." He Lingchuan walked into the medical tent. "I sent him to guard the Yanshan Pass. Unfortunately, he was ambushed by Fu Shanlie."
He Lingchuan personally led his troops to rescue him, but unfortunately, it was still too late.
In the medical tent, Liu Lin was lying on the bed, his face pale and his chest no longer rising. The gauze wrapped around his neck was soaked with black blood. He was a rising star in Panlong City in recent years. He was only 23 years old, and his talent and martial arts were very good.
"The fatal wound is on the neck, almost torn in half by Fu Shanlie." He Lingchuan had examined his injuries before and knew that his chances of survival were slim.
General Hong was also wearing a dragon mask today: "Let his troops come in and say goodbye."
Soon, soft sobbing sounds were heard from inside the tent.
The soldiers all had sad looks in their eyes, stood solemnly with their hands lowered, and some secretly wiped away their tears.
He Lingchuan has seen this scene too many times.
So many young, promising, vigorous and energetic soldiers suddenly died on the battlefield, like meteors across the sky, brilliant but short-lived.
Since he led his troops into the battle of Xianyou Kingdom, in just over a month, this was the fourth general he had seen off in person.
The grinding of war takes away the flesh and blood of living people.
Panlong City attacked Xianyou for more than three months. Beijia also sent troops to support, but Xianyou was defeated step by step and important towns were lost repeatedly.
A few days ago, the offensive on Panlong City slowed down and was even suspended for a time. Beijia thought that it was afraid of the ultimatum he had issued and did not dare to attack again.
But General Hong secretly assembled a large army and suddenly arrived at the capital!
The capital of Xianyou State lasted only a day and a half before it was conquered, and the King of Xianyou abandoned the capital and fled.
The illusion that He Lingchuan had created for Bai Ziqi using the Dayan Dzi Bead was a scene of General Hong chasing after King Xianyou.
This unfortunate king finally failed to escape into Baling. He was caught by General Hong, who did not take him back but beheaded him in public!
Only after his death can the people of Xianyou country be relieved.
When the Xianyou Kingdom was destroyed, Beijia was furious and immediately sent more troops to attack.
This is a regular Bega army, not the mixed group before.
Of course, Beiga also found a reason for sending troops, "in response to the request of the second prince of Xianyou Kingdom."
Yes, the second prince of the Xianyou Kingdom was in Beijia, and was "shocked to learn the tragic news of his father's death and the destruction of his country", so he asked Beijia for help.
Not to mention that the two parties had some agreement in advance, Beijia could not sit idly by and watch Panlong City defeat Xianyou.
Everyone in the world knows that Xianyou is Beijia's vanguard, and is much more steadfast than Baling. If Panlong City takes Xianyou without punishment, where will Beijia's face and prestige be in the future?
Panlong City slapped Beijia in the face too hard. No matter how good the Demon Emperor's temper was, he couldn't bear it this time.
Let’s not talk about why Bega’s army could arrive so quickly after traveling such a long distance. This time, the three demon generals led an army of 100,000 to attack the eastern line of Xianyou Country.
The Xianyou Kingdom had just been destroyed, and two or three local leaders took the opportunity to start an uprising and echoed the Beijia army.
Zhong Shengguang was also prepared. On the one hand, he sent Zhao Xianhe, the commander-in-chief, to wipe out the resistance forces in Xianyou. On the other hand, he transferred General Hong, He Lingchuan and General Nan Ke to guard the three fortresses in the eastern border of Xianyou to keep Beiga out.
The battles that lasted for more than half a month were more bloody and cruel than any previous wars in Panlong City!
On the Panlong City side, the number of casualties exceeded 6,000.
If it had happened three years ago, or in real history, this would have been a loss that Panlong City could not afford.
Since there were three battlefields, the casualties on the opposing side were difficult to count, but at least they were no less than those in Panlong City.
Although General Hong and He Lingchuan had good command and surprising tactics, the army also had to face head-on battles.
Both sides gritted their teeth and fought each other to the death, and it depended on who would relax first.
This round of battles just provided He Lingchuan with new opportunities to evaluate Bega's regular army:
The soldiers are strong and the generals are brave!
Previously, when he fought against the Beijia army in the eastern part of Yuheng City, he was too gentle, and the leader of the troops was not a leader like Fushan Lie.
After several battles with Fu Shanlie, especially the Battle of Yanshan, He Lingchuan also understood why he was later crowned king for his outstanding military achievements.
This guy is good at commanding troops and fighting, and he is really tough.
After taking care of Liu Lin's funeral, He Lingchuan returned to the military tent and personally moved a chair to General Hong:
"Why is Red Marshal here?"
The war on the Eastern Front was intense, and he and General Hong fought side by side many times, galloping back and forth to support each other. The friendship of having shared life and death was different, and the conversation was not as stiff and unfamiliar as before.
There was a thermos on the table, but he didn't pour water for General Red. He was wearing a mask and didn't drink.
The tent door was open, facing the direction of Yanshan.
General Hong did not sit down either. He walked to the door of the tent with his hands behind his back and looked far to the east.
The light cast her back against the tent. She was not tall, but very determined.
"News just came from Beijia." She said slowly, "The second prince of Xianyou Kingdom died on the way to Lingxu City."
He Lingchuan was shocked: "Who did it?"
"Lingshan." General Hong said, "Xin Yi clearly stated that this was an assassination carried out by people sent by Lingshan, and he hoped that they could lend us a hand."
"This time the hit was really accurate!" No matter what impression He Lingchuan had of Lingshan, Lingshan did a really good job this time, hitting the snake at its most vulnerable point.
Didn't Beijia use the Second Prince of Xianyou as an excuse to send troops to help them regain their homeland? Lingshan cut off the source of the trouble and killed the Second Prince.
Now that the victims are gone, who else can Bega fight for to seize his "homeland"? For himself?
It no longer had any reason to send troops to Xianyou and attack Panlong.
Panlong City usually doesn't do such things, it can't reach that far. This is also the reason why it suffers from the battle with Beijia: the war always starts within the boundaries of Panlong City, but far away from Beijia's territory, so Beijia doesn't suffer any harm.
It's a long-distance war, and it won't harm our own country. Who wouldn't be fearless?
Things are different when Lingshan takes action.
Thanks to Lilith for the big reward, our alliance leader group has one more general~
