After Cheating, I Became The Strongest Beast Master

Chapter 169 The bloody battle at Tieyanguan (Part 2)

Come down from the back of the tower.

Dong Fang counted the number of soldiers who came down, "Everyone counts."

After a while, the head count was completed.

A total of ninety-eight people remained.

Dong Fang's face was gloomy. After a round and a half of fighting just now, the remaining number of people on this defense line was reduced by 18 people.

When we counted in front of the tower, there were 116 people.

In less than half a day, 15.5% of the people were lost.

This ratio may not sound high, but you must know that they are only responsible for this area of ​​defense.

There are sixty sections of defense line of their size on the city tower.

If the proportion of losses in other areas was similar, thousands of people had been lost in just this one and a half conflict.

And these are all beast masters!

It has been less than fifteen years since Great Xia has just carried out a comprehensive armed reform to control beasts and enter the army.

Beast Taming is not like a hot weapon. It can be put into use immediately after it is made.

It is like the elite cavalry in ancient times. It requires raising horses and soldiers, and investing a lot of resources to be effective! Of course, the effect is also very obvious. After each beast master is formed, one person can exert the destructive power equivalent to a previous tactical team.

Moreover, the skills are varied and the abilities are strange. After growing up to the Late Stage, the destructive power of a High Level beast master is far beyond ordinary missiles and artillery.

If you can become a super-level beast master, you will directly become a deterrent-level force.

In the past fifteen years, only about 30,000 animal masters in the army have been trained into combat strength in the northern theater.

Dong Fang said: "Go back and have a good rest, adjust your condition, and be ready to take over from the brothers on the tower at any time."

Having said this, Dong Fang paused and said, "Brothers who died, please bring them down."

"During the battle just now, they were all carried down." said a lieutenant next to him.

Dong Fang nodded.

When the magic power of the beast masters on the tower is exhausted, if the enemy attacks again in the next round, they will be needed to take over their positions.

"Let's all go and rest." Dong Fang was a little depressed.

Chen Xing followed Dong Fang to the canteen.

The two ordered noodles. Although it was wartime, food security was still maintained.

The two sat together with the noodles in hand. Dong Fang took two mouthfuls of noodles. He thought of something and squeezed the chopsticks tightly in his hands.

Dong Fang said to himself. "The troops in the rear are gathering on the fourth line of defense. We have to fight for at least half a month. It's only been a week now, and we have to hold on for at least eight days."

At this point, Dong Fang suddenly fell silent.

He himself was a little unsure. According to today's casualty ratio, could he last for eight days?

After eight days, how many comrades will still be alive?

Chen Xing guessed what Dong Fang was thinking, and he really wanted to tell Dong Fang seriously, you guys held on, not just for eight days, but for a whole month.

The fourth line of defense at the rear successfully gathered enough strength to completely block this foreign invasion from the fourth line of defense.

But he knew that even if he said it, Dong Fang wouldn't hear it.

Chen Xing lowered his head and ate the noodles.

Not to mention the taste, it's quite delicious.

"Actually, how long this battle can last depends mainly on taking care of the general and General Zhang."

Dong Fang said suddenly.

Chen Xing raised his head and looked at him, "Why do you say that?"

"Only super-level beast masters can resist the super-level beast masters. Without them holding back the opponent's super-level beast masters, it would be much easier for the opponent to break through Iron Rock Pass than it is now. The super-level beast masters will directly attack the tower. Who can stop it?" ?”

Chen Xing said: "I will see if General Zhang and General Zhang can hold off the opponent's beast."

Dong Fang shook his head, "I just tried my best to hold them back. If I could defeat them, I would have repelled the opponent's super-level beast masters long before the first and second lines of defense were breached."

"We also have super beast masters, why don't we come together to repel the opponent."

Dong Fang shook his head, "No one knows what trump cards the other party has. If the other party has any trump cards that haven't been used yet, what if we, the super beast masters, all get together and are wiped out by Foreign Land?"

Chen Xing and Dong Fang talked about a question, "I see there are some private beast masters in the city. Why not recruit those private beast masters?"

Dong Fang shook his head: "There are many among the people. You may not believe it, but in fact, the large-scale training of beast masters in the army was largely due to these private beast masters.

In the past few years, Secret Realm appeared all over the Great Xia. Many people entered Secret Realm and got the opportunity to become beast masters.

Some local tycoons and aristocratic families have gained a lot of power through this. You also know that when Daoist suddenly gains power, it is easy for him to have other thoughts.

Therefore, in order to better stabilize the situation, the army has trained animal masters on a large scale.

After the army trained animal masters on a large scale, there was some chaos in various places in the past few years, but now everything has become quiet. "

"It's not that no one has mentioned your idea, but on the one hand, civilian beast masters don't like to be restrained. On the other hand, they have not been trained and cannot adapt to military battle formations. If they join the battlefield rashly, it may have the opposite effect."

Chen Xing seemed thoughtful, as if this was the case.

Even in later generations, there was an invisible gap between the beast masters in the army and the beast masters among the people.

This gully is not about other aspects, but simply the way of fighting is very different.

I heard that many of the beast masters in the army are gregarious beast masters, and they understand how to fight in groups.

Most of the people in Kyushu University, including many private beast masters and some beast masters in groups, formed exploration teams.

The routes and directions taken by the two sides are completely different.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside.

There were still some faint sounds of arguing.

Dong Fang put down his chopsticks, frowned and walked outside.

He wanted to see what was going on. Is there anyone making trouble during this special period? !

He and Chen Xing came outside.

A group of beastmasters were arguing around an officer.

"What are you arguing about!" Dong Fang said coldly.

At the same time, he summoned the Snow Bamboo Swordsman.

The Snow Bamboo Swordsman who had just come down from the battlefield was carrying a strong evil spirit!

The strong evil aura hit their faces, and the beast masters who were making a lot of noise just now fell silent instantly.

It seems that he is still very afraid of the cold murderous aura of the Snow Bamboo Swordsman.

"We are not making trouble!" one of the beast masters shouted.

"Then what are you arguing about here?"

"Sir, they want to join the battlefield." The lieutenant next to him quickly explained, and after speaking he smiled bitterly, "But there is a policy from above that does not allow civilian beast masters to be accepted, so I asked them to go back. They refused, and their voices were a bit loud. "

"I am also a member of the Great Xia, and we also want to help. Why don't we do it? Do you think I am weak? My beast master also has fifty levels, and it can also go to the battlefield to kill those stupid foreigners." The famous beast master shouted loudly.

"The aliens came in. I ran from Beitie City to Yuyue Pass, and then from Yuyue Pass to Tieyan Pass. Do I have to keep running next time? I don't want to run away!"

"Yes, we Liaodong people are not afraid of death!"

"Before I came here, I killed seven foreign cubs. Unfortunately, they mostly moved in groups. If there were more people behind them, there would be no chance." said a strong man with a big beard.

As soon as these words came out, many people around him looked at him.

Seeing the people around him looking at him, the bearded man took out a bag from his waist and poured it out. A large number of tinkling bits and pieces fell out of it.

"I got this from some exotic kid. It's a bit like a storage bag. The space inside is as big as the trunk compartment."

"I see that you are also an officer. We also want to contribute to the nation. If we are afraid of death, we will not sign up. There are many beast masters who want to help. We can help contact you. Go and talk to the people above you. Let's talk about it, we see that those brats from the foreign land are attacking the city very quickly, so the pressure on you should be quite big." The bearded man looked at Dong Fang.

Dong Fang showed a hint of appreciation in his eyes, "What's your name?"

"Han Tianhu, my beast control level is 100, so I should be qualified to fight on the battlefield." The strong man said boldly.

Dong Fang said: "I'll go and ask. If it doesn't work, don't make trouble."

Han Tianhu said: "You have just come down from the front line. We respect you. You will never make trouble until you get the news! Whoever dares to make trouble, I will suppress him first!"

Dong Fang took Chen Xing to find Gu Yuzhi.

After listening to what Dong Fang said, Gu Yuzhi was silent for a moment and then said, "When our country is in trouble, it's a good thing to stand up."

"But defending the city is a difficult task, and many things are easy to say. What if you go up to the city tower, experience the war firsthand, and directly break up and run away after some people die.

There will be an extra gap in the city tower. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the enemy is likely to come in through this gap. "

Qian Peiquan said: "Lao Gu, it is actually a good thing to have more fresh troops. Now that we are defending the city, we must unite all the forces that need to be utilized in the city."

"I think there is a way to solve it."

Qian Peiquan organized his words, "We can first register the beast masters who are willing to contribute, and conduct an investigation first to prevent foreign spies from being mixed in.

Although it has been checked before, it is inevitable that some fish will slip through the net.

Civilian beast masters have their own system, which we don’t understand, but they definitely know each other relatively well. Private beast masters can be asked to 'sponsor' each other to confirm their identities.

These private animal masters must be well-known in the local area. It is a righteous act for them to participate. Their names can be registered and publicized. If there are any inappropriate ones, the public can also respond.

After confirming their identities, everyone is organized and divided into small teams according to the attributes and abilities of the beasts, and then a short military training is conducted.

If there are people who are unwilling to accept training during the process, there is no need to go to the tower, and some other tasks can be arranged. "

No one else has a problem with that.

"At the same time, do not let these civilian beast masters gather together. They should be divided into groups of ten and dispersed to different defense areas. They should cooperate with military beast masters with combat experience and lead them to adapt to war in the same way that veterans lead new recruits. .

In addition, ordinary people, if they are willing to contribute, can also temporarily join the battle as militiamen. "

Hearing the previous words was nothing, but when he heard the last sentence, Gu Yuzhi suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Old Qian, are you crazy?"

If you open the door to the militia at this time, how many people will join?

"There are enough supplies and weapons in Guanli." Qian Peiquan interrupted him.

Supplies from several surrounding provinces have been gathered, and various supplies are now abundant in Tieyan Pass.

Gu Yuzhi's expression was uncertain.

Qian Peiquan, who always looked gentle, had extremely sharp eyes at this moment, "Don't you want to fight him in a foreign land? Then fight him! My great countrymen are not afraid of death! You will bite off a piece of meat from him even if you die. If your entire nation doesn't show any ruthlessness, If you are not afraid of death, others will always bully you!"

"Today is the Burning Sky Giant City, will there be other giant cities participating tomorrow?!"

"Spine is something that must be built with blood and soul!"

Gu Yuzhi did not expect that the person who made this suggestion would be Qian Peiquan, "Do you know the consequences of doing this?"

Qian Peiquan said calmly: "I know that if so many people die, there must be an explanation. I am not as good at controlling beasts as you, so I probably have no hope of becoming transcendent, but I have to do something, right?"

Chen Xing stood aside and suddenly understood the origin of the two million militiamen in Tieyan Pass.

There are no detailed records in the history books, but only brief mentions of the deeds of two million militiamen and 1.5 million regular troops holding on to Tieyanguan.

He suddenly had the trance-like illusion of witnessing history.

The public list was released quickly, and the entire Tieyanguan was immediately boiling.

There was an endless stream of people signing up to join the army, and the Tieyan Pass Provisional Military Headquarters had to issue an emergency announcement, requiring women, children and the elderly who were not beast masters to evacuate the pass as soon as possible.

Militia recruitment is strictly limited to young adults between the ages of 18 and 50.

At this moment, this towering steel giant seemed to have been injected with new vitality, turning into a giant war machine.
