Chapter 866: The Ridge of Sorrows

Leng Yuan's eyes were helpless, but there seemed to be something else in her helplessness. She silently looked at Luo Hanlin and stared at this old comrade-in-arms who had fought side by side with her for 12 years. I don't know how long it took, but she still slowly shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, you have been the first battle for the Eagle Flag Army for 12 years, but this time, the main attack mission cannot be handed over to you."

Luo Hanlin was a little anxious, "General?"

"But." Leng Yuan stretched out his hand and signaled Luo Hanlin to be calm. Then he said, "I will give you another task to keep here."

As soon as Leng Yuan finished speaking, his fingers fell to a certain position on the sand table. Luo Hanlin looked down and frowned and said, "Sad Ridge?"

Leng Yuan nodded, "Sad Ridge, three years of the Patriotic War, the imperial new forces were defeated in the Battle of Songjiang. In the dark clouds of failure, many soldiers still did not give up. More than 5,000 defeated soldiers from different provinces, different military regions and different branches of the army gathered here, spontaneously formed a defense line, united as one, and blocked more than 100,000 assault troops of the Federation with their terrain advantages for a whole 7 days. In the end, all the soldiers died for the country and no one survived. The Grand Marshal burst into tears when he heard this and gave the name "Sad Ridge."

Luo Hanlin stared at the sand table for a while and said in confusion, "Sad Ridge has become a city, a small city in the subsequent construction, with a population of only over 100,000 and has no strategic significance for offensiveness. Why did I stay here?"

"You seem to have forgotten one thing, Luo Hanlin, while we are trying to annihilate the Federation's sea-circling war zone, they are also trying to annihilate us. Who will destroy whom in the end, the result is unknown." Leng Yuan drew a line in front of the sad ridge and squinted his eyes and said, "If the emperor deployed on the front line is completely defeated, you can see what will happen for yourself?"

Luo Hanlin is also a veteran in the army and has a deep understanding of the strategic map. He made up for what Leng Yuan said, and finally opened his eyes wide and said, "The Federal Counterattack, Sad Ridge is a shortcut to connect the inland of the empire. All the federal military forces will pass through here, just like the defeat of the Songjiang Battle."

"Yes, as far as the current frontline battle situation is concerned, Sad Ridge does not have any offensive significance for us, but if our frontlines are defeated, this is the throat to stop the fall. If you keep it, the Federation cannot break into the shortcut and must take a detour. During this period, the Empire can repair the defeated army, can be mobilized by military force, and there are many ways to reorganize the new force. If you fail to defend it, the Federation will drive straight in, the armored troops will travel a hundred miles a day, and the Valkyrie will attack thousands of miles a day, and the entire empire will collapse."

"This time, if the Empire is defeated, the Federation will not give us a chance, there will be no sea-surrounding war zones, and there will be no co-governance areas. They will directly occupy the entire territory and directly destroy our country and the seeds." Leng Yuan raised her head, silently patted Luo Hanlin on the shoulder, and said, "Of course, if you think about it optimistically, as long as the front line is not defeated, there will be no war in the Sad Ridge. But to be safe, I need to send a trustworthy army here."

Luo Hanlin said without hesitation, "Get the camp for me. I can use this old army easily. Give it to me. I will never lose the Sad Ridge!"

"Don't be so absolute. The soldiers are in constant force and the water is in constant form. How can there be a general in the world who is always victorious? How can there be no way to lose the sad Ridge?" Leng Yuan walked to Luohanlin, and flames were burning in her dark purple pupils. She said in a deep voice, "The guarantee of victory is meaningless. An accident may happen at any time. Therefore, the order I give you is not to keep it, but to do my best to defend it. What does it mean to do your best? It is to send a message to the command center to withdraw, no matter how many people you die, even if you are still alive, even if you are scratched with your nails and bite with your teeth, you must fight the Federation to the end."

Seeing Luo Hanlin silent, Leng Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "I will answer me if I think about it. I can hand over this task to Zhou Liangcheng. He guarded Gushan in Mohebei 8 years ago. I believe he can carry out the task resolutely."

"Eight years ago, Zhou Liangcheng guarded Gushan for you, but I also guarded Fengyun Pass for you. Have you forgotten?!" Luo Hanlin stretched out his calloused hands, and his voice was like a bell. "This time, if the front line is defeated, I will fight for you until the last person in the Sad Ridge!"

Having said that, Leng Yuan didn't say much. She picked up a pen and wrote a document, stamped it with the seal of the vanguard general, and handed it to Luo Hanlin. "1,000 Eagle Flag Army trapped the camp, 4,000 elite troops in the wilderness expedition, a total of 5,000 people. Just like the Battle of Sad Ridge 12 years ago, I don't ask you to shake the world, but I just want to hold on for 7 days when the front line is defeated."

Luo Hanlin took the document, his eyes were burning with fire, and he respected Leng Yuan with a standard imperial courtesy, then left the tent and rushed to the Sorrow Ridge.

The marshal's personal expedition troops who had arrived from Chang'an have arrived. All of this troops are composed of elite Central Guards. Their appearance not only represents a determination to fight to the end, but also inspires the spirit of the frontline soldiers and makes them more tenacious and heroic.

In the army camp, Gao Sheng, the colonel of the Central Guard Army, was among the list. Although this martial arts genius was defeated by the Wings of Freedom in the Battle of Sanjiangyuan, fortunately, he was optimistic and cheerful by nature. After lying back for a few months, he was fine again. That defeat seemed to have never happened before. He should eat, drink, and pick up girls every day, and he lived a very uncomfortable life.

This time the Marshal's personal expedition, Gao Sheng, as the first person in the Central Guard, should go to war in terms of emotion and reason. No matter how indifferent he acts, he must also want to make contributions and break the inner demons buried in Sanjiangyuan.

At this time, the troops had already set up camp. Gao Sheng was roasting a ferocious beast caught on the road in front of the rising bonfire. This was a wild boar with a body length of more than 3 meters, weighing more than 800 kilograms, and with huge fangs. The scientific name was the fanged pig. It was famous for its strong physique and impact. It could even knock over a full military vehicle while running with all its strength.

Next to Gao Sheng, the soldier Ye Feng was also standing by the bonfire. He made contributions to the generals in the Battle of Sanjiangyuan and promptly reported the situation. In addition, his efforts and hard work later, he was just promoted to the Central Guard Army for further studies this year.

Ye Feng looked at the fanged pig covered with fist marks in a daze and asked, "Col. Gao Sheng, is this a ferocious beast? Can it be eaten?"

"You can eat, don't worry, it's not poisonous." Gao Sheng had already pulled out his fur and carried the 800-kilogram fangs onto the solid grill with one hand. He trembled with a bang. Then he cut it on it with a familiar way, applied sauce, and licked his fingers, and said enthusiastically, "I tell you that the fangs are a good thing, especially their piglets, which are strong in flesh, fat but not greasy. Grill on the fire and roast it on the outside and tender in the inside. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk

As Gao Sheng said, his hands covered with internal force, and he reached into the fire to tear off a piece of sizzling pig skin, handed it to Ye Feng and said, "Come on, try it."

Ye Feng took the pig's skin and blew it a few times. He almost knocked his teeth torn. This is not surprising. The skin of a ferocious beast known for its defense is incomprehensible to swords and guns. Even if it is roasted by fire, it is not something that ordinary people can bite with their teeth.

Ye Feng silently put down the pig's skin, looked up at the handsome flag fluttering in the distance, and asked, "By the way, this time the marshal's personal expedition, why didn't General Liu Fusu and General Yue Runsheng come together?"

Gao Sheng tear off a piece of fangs and put it in his mouth to chew it. While eating, he said, "What are you doing together? These two people are civil servants and are useless in war. Moreover, General Liu Fusu and the Grand Marshal are close to each other, so he must be in Chang'an and staring at General Yue Runsheng."

Ye Feng was confused, "Ah? What does it mean to stare at General Yue Runsheng?"

"Huh? Don't you know?" Gao Sheng said vaguely, "Our Grand Marshal was not the next heir appointed by the Sect. He was seizing power and taking over."
