Not far away, Zuo En, who was covered in water, put down his military shovel and looked up. Sweat and rain were mixed together, and he looked as if he had just been fished out of the water.

"Boss is awesome!"

Zuo En thought silently in his heart.

The general commander of one of the three major armies of the Great Xia Kingdom, you can scold as you please.

Looking at the appearance of hating iron but not steel, and the tone of roaring again and again, it was almost like scolding his son.

Zhao Guangxin's face was livid, facing Zhang Yu's reprimand, he remained silent for a long time.

Although he has a high position and weight, his defeat in this battle was too miserable. All the troops were restrained by the demons on the battlefield, and now the battle line being fought by the two main forces of others has collapsed. I am afraid that the next one will be completely annihilated!
After such a defeat, Zhao Guangxin really didn't have the courage to refute anything. In fact, he had long since given up.

It has been five years since he served as the commander-in-chief of the border guards, and he has already developed feelings for this army. From senior officers to middle-level team leaders, everyone took office after his nod and approval.

But now, he personally buried his soldiers on the battlefield.

"I'm guilty."

Zhao Guangxin felt ashamed, lowered his head and sighed.

Zhang Yu snorted coldly, he was a little tired from scolding, if Zhao Guangxin confronted him tit for tat, if his face was flushed red, he would probably be full of energy and forcefully spar with each other.

But at this moment, the other party directly admitted the mistake, which actually made Zhang Yuxin feel a little pity, and he was unwilling to say anything more.

"I don't want to say anything more. Most of the fortifications have been completed now. It is estimated that the Chishui River embankment can be dug in one or two hours. Please, general, lead your troops to detour and retreat quickly."

Zhang Yu said this to him.

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Zhao Guangxin walked back with his head bowed, like a defeated rooster, unable to cheer up.

After walking more than 100 meters in the mud, the officers of the headquarters and the escorting squadron soldiers rushed up to meet Zhao Guangxin by their arms.

This middle-aged general, who was still in full glory a few days ago, now has gray hair on his temples.

The tall and straight body also became a little rickety, as if he had aged 20 overnight.

"General, victory or defeat depends on God's will. Please don't blame yourself too much. The country will sound the horn of counterattack in the future, so we need your strong support!"

"Yes, Commander, take care of yourself..."

All the senior officers burst into tears.

The promotion and appreciation of Zhao Guangxin, the commander-in-chief, is indispensable for them to reach their current positions.The general treated them as if they were his own children. Now, seeing the old chief who had been so glorious in the past turned into such a lonely appearance, how could they not feel heartbroken.

"Come on, let's go home."

Zhao Guangxin said in a hoarse voice.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed behind.

Everyone looked carefully in shock, and found that the black shadow was none other than a messenger of the border guards.

The soldier was dressed in military uniform, but his body was covered with mud spots and water stains, which were obviously caused by long-distance running.

He was panting violently, the military badge and military cap had long since disappeared, and the military uniform was wrinkled, and he looked embarrassed. Standing in front of many senior generals at this moment, he was even more panting.

"What's going on, speak slowly."

Someone comforted him softly.

As soon as the messenger raised his head, his muddy face was revealed, his eyes were eager, and he said: "Report to your lord, a demon army is found behind, and it is chasing here."

"The demon army?"

A general asked a question, then shook his head and said, "Impossible! This place is five kilometers away from the battlefield. If they don't go to support the battlefield, what are they doing chasing here?"

Zhao Guangxin reminded him: "Don't deny any information that may come out, and don't forget that we have just suffered such a big loss."

The general nodded yes.

Zhao Guangxin turned his head and asked the messenger: "How many people are there in this demon army?"

"My lord, the night is too dark and it's raining heavily. I really can't see clearly, but through sound analysis, the opponent has at least two brigades, or even more!" said the soldier.

"what!"

All the officers suddenly turned pale with fright.

The army escorting the general headquarters only has one squadron, no more than 50 people, and that's it, it was promoted and transferred back from the front line before the retreat.

Counting all the officers at this moment, the total strength will definitely not exceed one hundred.

However, there were at least two groups of pursuers of the demons, and there might even be more.

The strength of a brigade is between 200 and 300 people, and two brigades should be about 500 people.

With 100 vs. 500, most of these officers are about as strong as ordinary soldiers. Even if there is a stronger one occasionally, they can't resist so many people.

The difference in strength between the two sides is obvious.

"Don't panic!"

At the critical moment, Commander-in-Chief Zhao Guangxin was the most calm. He asked the messenger, "How far are they from us?"

"They are chasing very closely. I am afraid that it will not exceed one kilometer now."

"one kilometer……"

Zhao Guangxin pondered for a moment, the distance was already very close, it seems that the messenger only noticed when the other party was approaching him.

As for why the demon chasers came here, the answer is likely to be that after they hit the central army, they found that the headquarters had retreated.In addition, when one's own side marched at night, flashlights and other equipment were inevitably used, and the opponent was attracted by the light.

"Turn off the flashlight immediately and prepare for night battle!"

Zhao Guangxin ordered like this.

"Night battle? My lord, are we not retreating?"

Someone questioned.

Zhao Guangdao: "The first team of the United Army is building strategic fortifications behind us. Where do we retreat from?"

"Then retreat from their positions. Anyway, they are just a motley army, and they should make way for me in terms of rank."

There are military officers who hold their own identities and think naively.

"absurd!"

Zhao Guangxin immediately reprimanded that person, "Pig brains!"

"I've already said that the people in the first team are building strategic fortifications. Do you understand the three words strategic?"

"So not only can we not disturb their progress, but we must delay the enemy's progress for them!"

Zhao Guangxin said firmly.

The officers were stunned, and each of them was stunned, wondering if their ears had heard it wrong.

In conventional warfare, as the staff team at the corps level, these senior officers can be said to be the think tank of the army.

No matter in terms of strategic importance or level, there are special guards to protect everywhere you go. If someone blocks the way, you don't have to think too much, the other party needs to get out of the way as soon as possible.

But now, the commander actually said that his high-ranking officers with extraordinary identities wanted to resist the enemy and protect the fortifications for a team of motley troops.

This has confused many people's minds and is unacceptable!
"Commander, are you kidding me?"

Someone asked with a smile, but the expression on his face was uglier than crying.

Zhao Guangxin looked serious, and asked back: "Why, do I look like I'm joking?"

"No no no."

The officer waved his hands again and again and explained, "I just think that our headquarters is not good at fighting. It's better to let the soldiers do the work to resist the enemy."

"Humph!"

Zhao Guangxin snorted coldly, and directly reprimanded him, "When is Du Te mother? The entire army, the main force of more than 20 troops, has been rounded up by others. Who do you give orders to? Who wants to listen to you?"

"Don't tell me, let the first team stand up to the enemy, delay their steps, and buy time for our retreat. I tell you, although I have lost the battle, I still can't do this kind of thing!"

"I have already said that the friendly forces are building strategic fortifications in the rear. Once the fortifications are established, it is not impossible to completely defeat the Kuroshio. Therefore, we have no other choice. We must hold on, hold on! Understand! Is there any?"

"Yes! I understand!"

All the officers were stunned.

Usually he was fine, Zhao Guangxin looked kindly, but when he got angry, no one dared to disobey him, at least not in the border guards.

At this time, everyone could faintly hear the sound of marching in the distance, mixed with the dense rain, a large area of ​​sparse, from far to near, gradually became clear.

"Quick! Turn off the flashlight, hide, and prepare for battle!"

Zhao Guangxin ordered quickly.

The officers hurriedly followed suit. This was the first time since they walked out of the new barracks that they made combat moves like ordinary soldiers at the bottom. Many people almost forgot about the actions back then.Having been in the top ranks for many years, they no longer maintain their bodies as well as they used to. They are all fat like pigs. At this moment, they are twisting and clumsy and following behind those soldiers, which is very funny.

Soon, the place fell into silence, only the movement of Zhang Yu's troops digging the fortifications in front.

Not long after, many grotesque biological armies appeared on the road to the Chishui River embankment.

In the darkness, there was only a bustling crowd, black shadows surging, and the number of people could not be seen clearly, but it was roughly estimated to be no less than five hundred.

The most frightening thing is that these creatures have a variety of shapes.

Some are humanoid, with cracked skin all over their bodies, as if they have been dried, but they can move like living things.

Some humanoid creatures were like coke all over their bodies, and they even doubted whether they were corpses picked up from the scene of the fire, but their vital signs were also obvious, and their nails were like daggers, and their toughness was probably very close.

There are also some that simply look like beasts, but they are obviously mutated. The most unacceptable thing is that they are spitting out human words.

"What about people? Why did they suddenly disappear?" An unusually burly humanoid creature said in a muffled voice. Its language was similar to that of humans, but its voice was hoarse, and it was difficult to understand without listening carefully.

"Yeah, the light suddenly disappeared."

Another black panther-like beast spouted words.

"Listen carefully! There is movement ahead, they may have spotted us and turned off the light!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up!"

Hundreds of Kuroshio creatures quickly pulled away and chased after them.

At the same time, the officers on both sides of the road were shocked. Although they were fighting against the Kuroshio creatures, they had never actually seen them. This was the first time they saw such creatures at such a close distance. Horrible creatures are as terrifying as undead, far scarier than the data.

In contrast, Zhao Guangxin was much calmer. He slowly pulled out the knife, and when the Kuroshio creature walked halfway, he suddenly stood up from the grass and shouted: "Kill!"

"kill--"

All the officers and soldiers, fearful or not, drew their weapons and rushed towards the Kuroshio creature.
