The World Online Chapter 773 – Darkest Day of the Guards Legion

Chapter 773 – Darkest Day of the Guards Legion
The army that appeared in the city was not 200 thousand but just 150 thousand.
Yunnan City-State had also played such a trick; the camp that the Military Intelligence Division thought had 200 thousand troops only had 50 thousand.
The remaining 150 thousand had quietly moved away and hid themselves.
Although the City-State Alliance Army was formed from the troops of the various territories, the Lords could not control the movement of the Alliance Army.
The commander handled the daily workings of the Alliance Army, and a committee meeting would decide the battle instructions. More accurately, it was decided by the leader of the committee.
The current commander of the Yunnan City-State's Alliance Army was Sui Dynasty General Zhang Xutuo.
Zhang Xutuo was recognized as the cornerstone of the Sui Dynasty and had led troops to calm down Yang Qiong, Wang Bo, and other rebellion armies. Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, and other young generals were all under him before.
66 A.D., Zhang Xutuo fought against the Wagang Army. However, he wsa surrounded by Li Mi, Xu Shiji, Wang Bo, and more, dying in battle. When he died, he was only 52 years old.
When his soldiers received the news, they cried for days on end.
Along with Zhang Xutuo dying, it was like the Sui Dynasty had lost their last hope, unable to calm down the rebellions.
Apart from being brave and strong, Zhang Xutuo gave the impression of being extremely loyal. During the ending years of the Sui Dynasty, powers pose and ruled various lands.
Only he remained truly loyal to the Sui Dynasty; he would rather die in battle than surrender. No wonder he was so loved by the soldiers.
Such a loyal soldier was truly a rare sight.
...
Due to the uniqueness of the Battle of Yunnan and after learning from the Battle of Lingnan, the committee voted that Qin Feng would be in charge of the committee.
This also meant that the moles Shanhai City had planted would not know where the Alliance Army was hidden. If they asked, they would risk exposing themselves.
When the moles received the intel and passed it to the Black Snake Guards, who then passed it to the Guards Legion, the Alliance Army had already teleported to Yongren City.
As for the 200 thousand Alliance Army of legend, they had disappeared.
The military intelligence spy in the city could not tell if the troops coming out were from the Yanhuang Alliance or the Alliance Army. Naturally, they felt that it was the Yanhuang Alliance Army.
With that, it gave a wrong signal to Huo Qubing.
The reason the Yanhuang Alliance Army teleported over was to destroy the Guards Legion and not help defend Yongren City. Hence, after they gathered up within the city, they did not stay for long.
As Huo Qubing had expected, they came out of the city and formed up, facing off against the Guards Legion Corps 1st legion.
Killing intent filled the air.
70 thousand vs 150 thousand.
To Huo Qubing, this was not much of a problem.
If they truly wanted to fight, Huo Qubing would not even need reinforcements, and he would be confident about winning. Weirdly, after forming up, the enemy did not attack; it was like they were waiting for something.
The atmosphere became more and more serious, making it hard for one to breathe.
Just as Huo Qubing was confused and wanted to take the initiative to attack, the rumbling of horse hooves sounded from the north; even the ground shook.
Looking out, a long black line appeared. It was moving south at a visible rate, slowly forming into an endless black flood.
This black flood was the 200 thousand Yanhuang Alliance troops.
The Alliance Army did not even hide in Yunnan Province but in Shu Lands north of Yongren City, within Swordsman City. No wonder the three intel organizations could not find anything.
Who would have expected that the Alliance Army was not within the province?
As Yongren City was located at the north border, it was an ambush point that the Yanhuang Alliance Army had selected long ago. No matter who they chose to attack Dongchuan Prefecture, it would be ambushed.
200 thousand Yanhuang Alliance troops and the 150 thousand Alliance Army for a total of 350 thousand troops; they were going to give a shocking blow to the Guards Legion.
70 thousand vs 350 thousand.
A difference of five times. No matter how strong the Guards Legion was, they could not handle it. Looking at the black flood approaching, Huo Qubing's face turned green.
The Yanhuang Alliance Army lineup was truly stellar, with General Wuqi as the main general, Lianpo, Tian Dan, and more. Yanhuang Alliance was really going all out, sending the strongest generals of their territories.
Appearing on the horizon was only the 100 thousand cavalry. The remaining 100 thousand infantry had snuck behind the Guards Legion.
With that, it formed a huge trap.
350 thousand troops had locked the Guards Legion down in the wilderness outside of Yongren City.
This was destined to be the humiliation of the Guards Legion.
...
"General, let's lead the troops and break out!"
Ma Teng looked around at the enemy troops closing in, his expression really solemn.
Huo Qubing was expressionless, "How to break out? The cavalry can, but what about the mountain barbarians?"
"We cannot care about so much. For some of us to escape is better than all of us going down right!" Ma Teng was not afraid of death, but he did not want Huo Qubing to do anything foolish.
Even if the Guards Legion went all out, they would be unable to win. The only chance would be to breakout before the encirclement was completed.
"General, we cannot hesitate anymore."
Seeing the enemy get closer and closer, "Ma Teng's expression got anxious.
Just at this moment, Shihu, Lei Jingtian, and Shan Zhu rushed over. The three young generals knelt on the ground and cupped their fists, "General, please leave. We will hold them off."
When Huo Qubing saw that, his expression was really complicated, "You all know what that means, right?"
"To die on the battlefield is our honor." As the representative, Shihu said, "I believe you will not let us sacrifices be in vain and will take revenge for us."
When Huo Qubing heard that, he could not even bear to look at them, looking forward, "I swear if I do not take revenge I'm not human."
Although his voice was not loud, it contained an unbreakable will.
Fate was just so cruel.
When the Guards Legion was so close to eternal glory, it gave them such a fatal blow.
Huo Qubing kept his emotions and started to plan how to break out. The Iron Armored Division ended up as the vanguard and was in charge of tearing through the enemy defenses.
The two Mountain Barbarian Divisions would form up on the spot to hold down the enemy to buy time. One Cavalry Division would help protect the wings of the infantry.
If not, the mountain barbarians who were attacked from three directions would not be able to hold on and would be crushed quickly.
Hence, only one Cavalry Division could escape.
Ma Teng requested to fight and chose to stay. He would lead the 1st division to help the three Mountain Barbarian Divisions delay the enemy.
The 1st division was one of the oldest Cavalry Divisions in Shanhai City. From the start, it was taken from the Luo Shixin division and was also the first army group to pass the army group trials.
When Huo Qubing saw that, he had basically nothing left to say.
Ma Teng was the one who suggested leaving, but he chose to stay at the crucial moment.
Huo Qubing was touched.
"General, let me show my strength once again."
Huo Qubing did not say anything, nodding quietly.
A tragic feeling spread across the entire army. No one knew how many Guards Legion soldiers could see the sun tomorrow.
...
As a God General, Huo Qubing's mental strength was exceedingly strong.
Since the plan was set, he automatically tossed aside the unneeded emotions and feelings, starting to work like a cold machine. His mission was to bring as many soldiers as he possibly could.
When the invincible Iron Armored Beast Division changed toward the infantry troops from the back, it revealed the bloody road to breaking out.
The strong iron armored beasts, each equipped with specially made armor, were like tanks charging at the Alliance Army.
This was the strongest Cavalry Division in the wilderness. In the Battle of Lingnan, they had terrified the enemy. On the battlefield of Yunnan, they were similarly strong, fighting for the honor of the Guards Legion.
Can you imagine the effect of rows of iron tanks charging into a group of people?
Outside Yongren City, it was such a scene.
Under the leadership of Shanzhu, the Iron Armored Division went all out, giving up on defense. The only thing they thought about was to, 'Charge, charge, and charge!'
The Alliance Army soldiers in the front were like paper, instantly crushed to pieces and stepped on. They were really flattened, and a huge amount of infantry troops disappeared.
Such an aura was simply alluring.
If the Alliance Army was not similarly filled with elites and their commander was a famous general that alone would have crushed their will to fight.
"Stop them!"
It was not easy for the Alliance Army to set up such a stunning trap, so how could they allow the Guards Legion to leave like that?
The huge army was like a flood, charging at the Iron Armored Beast Division. The scene was like a bunch of ants fighting a group of elephants.
Although the elephants were strong, they were still outnumbered.
After paying a heavy price, the Alliance Army finally contained the charge of the Iron Armored Beast Division. The huge iron armored beasts were surrounded, unable to get out.
Destruction was just a matter of time.
To Shanhai City, each iron armored beast was extremely precious. Who would have expected nearly all of them to fall here?
Huo Qubing's eyes were blood red as he led the 5th division along the bloody path that the iron armored beasts had opened up for them and charged. He was getting ready to break out.
No matter whether or not they managed to escape, this day would definitely be the darkest day of the Guards Legion.
