5878 The trapped beast is still fighting

Barnett was covered in blood. When asked, it turned out that he was hit by an artillery shell of the Anmore Army. Fortunately, the shell exploded far away, and only a finger-sized shrapnel hit him. The soul has returned to the kingdom of heaven. But even so, the piece of shrapnel cut off two ribs, causing Barnett to excruciating pain if he moved a little bigger.

An Kai said without showing weakness: "Do you have a better way? Do you want us all to die here?"

Barnett sneered: "I despise you, you are not worthy of being our Orumi Federal Army 1

An Kai also sneered and said: "Okay! You are brave enough, you are qualified to be the Orumi Federal Army! Bring your troops up, go to the front and try to attack below. Hey, look in the direction of my finger. In the past! Did you see it? What did you see? Our people fell to the ground like autumn leaves, and we simply couldn't get through the enemy's blockade. If we continue to entangle us, that's the real fool! You are."

General Claude shouted impatiently: "Shut up 1

An Kai then shut up angrily.

"How is the battle over there?" General Claude breathed a sigh of relief and said gloomily.

Barnett's face darkened and he said in an obscure tone: "General, the situation is not very good. The Anmore Army attacked us from the east and west, and they pressed us from a distance. It seemed that they were prepared. They were many and very cunning, and we had a lot of damage. We launched many counterattacks, but there was no way to push the enemy back.”

A cold humming sound came from An Kai's nostrils.

General Claude's mouth trembled slightly and said slowly: "Are you sure there are really only three enemy battalions there?"

Barnett smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, we can't be sure. Because we don't have any Anmore army prisoners. But the soldiers below learned their numbers during the fierce battle. They are the tenth of the Anmore army. The first battalion, the seventh battalion, and a garrison battalion whose number is unknown. But whether they participated in the battle as a whole or only part of the troops came to participate in the battle, I don't know.

The battlefield is too chaotic, you have me, I have you, and our local people are now starting to hide in the cracks of the rocks."

General Claude asked slowly: "Eleventh Battalion? Seventh Battalion? Aren't they Kassan's troops?"

Barnett shook his head and said bitterly: "No. As far as I know, they have now been dispersed and reorganized, and they are troops in two areas."

"Damn." General Claude groaned in pain.

An Kai and Barnett looked at each other and saw bad signs.

General Claude was really shocked this time, and at the same time, his heart fell to the bottom, and the last trace of hope was completely dashed with this information, like colorful soap bubbles. All dispelled by the merciless wind.

The 11th and 7th battalions of the Anmore Army have all participated in the battle, which means that it is not as simple as it looks on the surface. Perhaps, this is basically a trap, a trap that is waiting for the Orumi Federation Army to go south. Those **** mercenaries, they must be surrounded by the Anmor army.

The regret in General Claude's heart, he even regretted his bowels, he just didn't understand. Why is the Orumi Federation Army so naive, actually believing that these cunning mercenaries will fight alone? In the past few years, the Orumi Federation Army and these mercenaries have been meeting each other on the battlefield, and they both want to kill each other. There are countless warriors on both sides sleeping forever on the desolate loess in the northwest.

He should have known how cunning these mercenaries are, it will never be so simple.

An Kai looked at General Claude's gloomy expression. He seemed to cry for a while, laugh for a while, gnash his teeth for a while, and crack his eyes for a while. I don't know what to think, but the gunfire around seemed to be more dense, as if the Anmor army was gradually approaching, he hurriedly shook the shoulder of General Claude, and shook the other party from his absence. He said anxiously, "General, what should we do now?"

"General Claude said decisively, and took the lead in ordering the transfer of troops and galloping towards the north.

An Kai and Barnett hurriedly conveyed the order, and the Oromi Federal Army troops immediately adjusted their direction of advance and slowly retreated to the rear, with the Anmor army in all directions chasing after them. The sound of gunfire on the battlefield was constant, but the sound of gunfire was very sparse, indicating that the Anmor army was all lightly armed, and the heavy weapons might not have had time to be put into use. But even if it was just a light weapon, the Orumi Federation Army troops had already shed their blood.

General Claude quickly understood the situation on the battlefield. The Anmor Army was in the south of the Devil Canyon, and it was resolutely blocking the way of the Orumi Federation Army. On the east and west sides, it was pressing step by step. Attempt to form an encirclement.

The reason why the reconnaissance team of the Orumi Federation Army was not able to find the slightest trace of the Anmor Army before was because the opponent's pockets were very large, and it was not an ordinary ambush at all, but a carefully planned concentric assault. Pounced on the Orumi Federation Army from all directions, completely encircling him. The fact that the Anmor army dispatched this time is so strong, which means that they began to mobilize troops early in the morning and waited for them to be delivered to the door.

It's a pity that he was really delivered to the door obediently, and fell into the other party's trap again.

From 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the Orumi Federal Army began to retreat in great strides. They abandoned their companions who were trapped in the Anmore army's positions and could not retreat in time, abandoned all the miscellaneous items, including their tents and the like, and only carried weapons and vehicles, and hurriedly retreated to the north.

However, in the process of retreating, the advantages of the Orumi Federation Army were completely unable to exert their advantages. Their vehicles were crowded together so that they could not travel effectively at all. In order to escape the pursuit of Anmor's army, many people began to scramble to flee, and even conflicts broke out and fights.

General Claude was shocked and angry when he saw this scene. Then I realized I was wrong and regretted it. He issued an order to retreat, which caused the Oromi Federation Army to think that it was a lost escape, so they all took the road and fled.

You must know that the defeat is like a mountain, and in order to survive, they will of course not be polite, even if it is their brother who is blocking the front, the people behind will dare to attack. His heart seems to be dripping blood, when has the Orumi Federation Army been so embarrassed?

Back at the station, he must let these cunning mercenaries know the consequences.

However. Suddenly, the speed of the Orumi Federation Army troops retreating to the north like a tide slowed down again, and there was a fierce sound of gunfire in front. Many Orumi Federal Army troops looked at the north with pale faces, and vaguely seemed to feel that something bad had happened. The sound of gunfire became more and more intense, causing a great shock in the Orumi Federation army. Many people are whispering, it seems that their own way back has been cut off.

When General Claude received the information from the front, there was no major reaction, just a numbness, and he didn't even blink his eyes. On the contrary, An Kai and Barnett's expressions changed greatly. They looked at each other, bewildered.

The messenger came to report, at the rear of the Orumi Federation Army. The powerful blocking force of the Anmor army was also found. The retreating Orumi Federal Army troops launched several consecutive attacks, but they were all repelled by the Anmore Army, leaving a large number of corpses on the battlefield. Now the front-line commander is waiting for Claude General's order.

General Claude suddenly cried and laughed hysterically, making the people around him stunned, while Xi'an Kai and Barnett quickly searched around to see if there was a way to retreat. They have now finally confirmed that the Orumi Federation Army troops have fallen into the circle carefully arranged by the Anmor Army, and now the Anmor Army has tied the pockets to death.

Barnett's eyes flickered. He said eagerly: "General, now the Anmor army is taking an attacking posture of encirclement, and we still have time to break through the encirclement. But our actions must be fast, and we must make up our minds as soon as possible. 1

General Claude's eyes flickered a few times.

Breakout?

Barnett slowly calmed down and said cautiously: "According to my estimation, there is still a large gap between the various units of the Anmore Army. Now the encirclement should be just formed, and they have not had time to adjust the deployment of troops. There should be some weaker positions, as long as we choose properly, we can definitely rush out."

General Claude murmured to himself: "Can we retreat all over?"

Barnett said painfully: "No, but we can at least leave part of it. Anmore's troops are concentrated in the Devil's Canyon area. As long as we successfully escape from the Devil's Canyon, we can quickly return to the station and stabilize first. Stay and talk."

General Claude didn't say a word, his eyes seemed to be dull.

Seeing that General Claude did not respond, both Barnett and Xi'an Kai shouted eagerly: "General"

General Claude suddenly didn't know what to say to himself, shook his head gently, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but it disappeared soon, and his face gradually returned to normal, after a moment of silence Slowly said in a deep voice: "In this case, I ordered the ten thousand people to choose their own direction and break through."

An Kai cried out in a voiceless voice: "Dispersed breakout? In this case, dispersed breakout is undoubtedly self-defeating. We can only take advantage of Anmor's unsteady foothold, concentrate our strength, and cross their weakest area in one go."

Barnett said coldly: "Do you know where the weakest area of ​​Anmor's army is? If we don't break out, are we sure we can escape?"

An Kai said eagerly: "We shouldn't disperse our troops! Behind our buttocks, in our south. The Anmor army must have never imagined that we would break through to the south.

Barnett said contemptuously: "You are so naive, you broke through to the south, but if you can figure it out, even if you stand out, in which direction are you fleeing? Isn't it the same as being chased and intercepted by the Anmore Army garrison along the way?"

An Kai hesitated, his face flushed.

Suddenly. Both of them heard General Claude shouting angrily and coldly: "Shut up for me! Let me think in peace 1

An Kai and Barnett hurriedly shut up and listened to the instructions.

General Claude hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Concentrate all the troops and break through to the north.

An Kai stretched his neck and said incredulously, "North?"

General Claude gritted his teeth and said: "One who can rush out is one! I don't believe that the Anmor army is iron! Order all the troops to rush to the north for me! Even with corpses. The military position filled me in 1

His eyes were flushed red.

An Kai shrank back when he spoke.

Barnett said loudly: "General, don't worry, the Anmor army is not iron, and under our impact, they will definitely collapse! I will go to the front to organize an attack now. 1

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the setting sun was shining, and the Orumi Federal Army launched an attack of the sea group to the north.

Those responsible for blocking the retreat of Claude's troops were the mercenary troops led by Lin Rui himself and the main force of the 11th Battalion.

On the north side of Devil's Canyon, beyond the range of the valley, there are no more stone mountains. The ground is no longer a solid stone, and it is impossible to build fortifications at all. This is hard yellow soil. Because of the long-term dryness, the land here is very difficult to excavate. One shovel goes down. Basically there is only one bowl deep position.

However, his more than 2,000 mercenaries and more than 3,000 Anmor troops dug four trenches overnight, and also arranged some simple barbed wire in front of the trenches.

Because of the rapid march. The number of barbed wire fences was not very large, but with the addition of the cross-fire nets, it was enough for the Orumi Federation Army to meet with blood.

The 11th Battalion Battle Group is the strongest battalion under Anmore's troops, with more than 3,000 officers and soldiers. Almost a quarter of the total force. Lin Rui mobilized them here to be responsible for blocking the Olumi Federal Army who had escaped with great hope. Feeling that the Orumi Federal Army was still struggling, the 11th battalion-level battle group opened a dense in-depth defense line on this loess land, and set up multiple lines of defense to make up for the lack of troops.

Lin Rui even pulled all his attached troops to the line of defense of the 11th Battalion, barely able to gather 5,000 people.

Lin Rui is at the command post of the 11th battalion at this moment, but what he does is not commanding defense. Rather attack.

He was determined to attack the Orumi Federal Army when the Orumi Federal Army cavalry launched a breakout attack. Now more than 20,000 soldiers of the Orumi Federation Army have been firmly surrounded in the Devil Canyon area. It is not difficult to kill them all, but Lin Rui means to force them to surrender, and the more people who surrender, the better. , it will take a little thought.
