Chapter 398 Building a Line of Defense
The sun is at its peak, and there are several correspondents who are communicating the order outside the Central Army’s command tent waiting at any time. If there is an emergency military situation, they can be transmitted to the camps of the other two routes as soon as possible.
"They've been driving all night now."
"Don't talk about the whole night, it's almost noon now, so I won't talk about it until night, right?"
"I don't know what happened."
"It must have been found clues to other humans."
"Then go and contact each other quickly."
"You know, the sir must have their considerations. Let's just wait honestly."
"Too."
While the few were chatting, they saw two people suddenly walking out of the tent, one was Xu Ling and the other was Zhang Yuan.
"You will immediately notify the commanders of the other two routes and gather in the middle route, so that they can take action immediately and not delay."
"Yes! Sir!"
They had contacted Xu Ling several times, but they felt that this colonel had a feeling of being silly and silly, but it was easy to talk to, so they were not afraid, but it was different when they saw Zhang Yuan. The fierce major general said anything, which made them feel cold sweating behind them.
Several correspondents did not dare to delay, so they brought the issued warrant and ran away from the camps up and down.
Back in the command tent, Zhu Talan has begun to issue orders one by one.
"After the entire army arrived, they camped on the spot, divided into four shifts, and took turns to the pass to be on guard. From now on, they must ensure twenty-four-hour monitoring and must not be touched by the enemy without knowing it."
A staff advised: "Send some scouts to patrol under the cliffs on the left and right sides of the pass to prevent those monsters from climbing over those peaks."
Although the terrain is tall and steep, I am not familiar with human-shaped monsters at present, and there is no guarantee that they do not have the means to climb walls or drill into the ground.
Xu Ling said: "Maybe we can go through the pass before they have been pressed up yet, and occupy the position first. Otherwise, if they react, they will freeze if they occupy the other end."
Chu Xiaojun retorted: "No, it's okay to go through it, but we haven't fought with them yet. If the situation is unfavorable, it's hard to even retreat on the other side."
At this time, several staff officers who had been studying the world map for a long time suddenly turned around and said to everyone: "The terrain has been measured. If you want to bypass the mountains on both sides to encircle, the distance is too far. Considering the monsters along the way, it will take at least a few months on the road. In addition, there is no remote contact means, well, it is not realistic."
Zhang Yuan slapped the table: "It's so annoying. This pass is just used to go against us. Brother Zhu, give me a team of elite soldiers. I will go directly to kill them without leaving any armor."
Zhu Talan shook his head laughed and cried: "What kind of elite do you want?"
"Well... a hundred Xu Lings are enough."
"Sorry, the requirements are too high and I can't find it."
Xu Ling looked at the conversation between the two with a question mark, thinking that he was a unit of measurement?
Within two hours, the other two troops also came to the Central Army to meet up. Xu Ling went to the camp of the investigation team to inform the others about the matter, and there was inevitably another wave of suggestions.
"Can you get around the mountains on both sides to pick their butts?"
"Can you climb up the cliff and climb over the top?"
"Can you use equipment to dig a pass and charge?"
Xu Ling stopped everyone's noise: "Okay, okay, you said so much, will there be so many staff in the command center not think of it? Now we just need to wait for the order, don't be irritated, keep your spirits up, and be ready for battle at any time."
Then, he connected with the command center, confirmed the defense location, and asked Liu Tao to make arrangements.
Here, the expeditionary force's policy is to first form a defensive position to ensure that the enemy has the ability to resist after launching a raid, and then send people to guard the pass.
Not long after, the east side of the pass was surrounded by expeditionary forces, and a brigade of warriors was guaranteed to be on duty for 24 hours at any time. The four brigade of magic crystal firearms were on the move. More than a dozen snipers were hiding around, holding the rifle that could fire out seventh-level ammunition.
This kind of defense, let alone monsters in a monster shape, can't even fly out even if it's a mosquito.
Xu Ling mainly contributed two gun brigades. His people were saturated with ammunition and well-equipped, so they had to undertake heavier tasks at this time.
He followed the people he sent out to the near the pass, and saw that there were more than a dozen corpses of monsters piled up behind the defense line.
"Is this just coming out?" he asked casually after finding someone.
"Yes, sir, they still send a small group of monsters every four hours to attempt to reconnaise the situation. We just shot it to death."
Xu Ling nodded, then walked forward, and Zhu Talan and others also investigated the terrain here.
"The width of this passage...it really cannot accommodate a large number of troops to charge."
Mang Ru Zhang Yuan had to admit that some terrains were indeed not suitable for combat.
This is why Xu Ling just now suggested that before the other side could find out, let all the troops pass through in advance.
Zhu Talan said: "You plan how many people can pass through this passage at the same time. Let's send a rushing force to try it."
"Want to go over?" Chu Xiaojun asked.
"Well, although it is difficult for the large army to retreat in the past, if it is just a small force, it is more mobile and can be considered if it can pass through the pass smoothly."
Zhu Talan said, "After all, we have seen them capture some human beings, and both public and private should find ways to rescue them."
"really."
Even if you don’t talk about emotions and just start from a utilitarian perspective, saving humans will help you understand what’s going on here.
A few more hours later, the second batch of monsters came out of the pass again.
They were sent out for reconnaissance by human-shaped monsters, but they were often wiped out by the expeditionary force. Sometimes it was normal for a certain group to fail to return, so the wave of deaths a few hours ago did not seem to arouse their vigilance.
So these unlucky guys were caught in almost a minute.
This time, the Expeditionary Force did not directly kill them, but chose to capture them alive.
Although I have seen it before, there is no difference between the monsters here and those around Xia Kingdom, since I have confirmed that they can communicate with human-shaped monsters, it is reasonable to catch them and study them carefully. Anyway, they are all low-level ones, and there will be no threat to put them in the expeditionary army positions with fierce men everywhere.
At the same time, Zhu Talan ordered more than a dozen people and Chu Xiaojun led them through the pass to investigate the reality and reality.
This time, Xu Ling was still at the forefront, using the wind to walk out of the narrow passage, confirming that the other party had not dispatched heavy troops to defend, and then called over a dozen other people over.
This was the first time that other people crossed the pass. Their reaction was the same as Xu Ling at that time. They couldn't help but look around, but Chu Xiaojun quickly pulled everyone's attention back.
