PNB Chapter 151: Blocked
Chapter 151: Blocked
The retreating troops of the bandits and the multinational coalition, their vanguard troops, were blocked by unknown armed forces.
This army was formed by the military kings, and they have been waiting here for a long time.
The commanders of the bandits and the multinational coalition forces were a little panicked, as they were being blocked in front and pursued from behind.
"Have you detected how many unidentified armed forces are ahead?" asked the commander-in-chief of the multinational coalition forces.
An adjutant replied, "According to the scouts' report, the armed forces blocking us number at least several thousand people."
Hearing this number, the commander-in-chief breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought, “A team of several thousand people shouldn’t pose much of a threat to them.
As long as they can quickly defeat this armed force, they can continue their retreat."
The commander-in-chief said sternly, "Send troops immediately to open the passage quickly. We must not let this group of people block our retreat.
Otherwise, when the National Salvation Army pursuers catch up with us, we will be attacked from both sides.
If they use weapons of mass destruction again, our large forces will be in danger."
As the order was issued, the multinational coalition forces took quick action.
They organized an elite force and prepared to launch an attack on this army.
The two sides are about to engage in a fierce battle, and the outcome of this battle will determine whether the multinational coalition forces can retreat smoothly.
The battle was about to break out, and the elite troops of the multinational coalition rushed like a tide to the positions to block their troops.
However, they underestimated the strength of the troops formed by the military kings.
Each army has 500 top soldiers.
The power of the Soldier King himself is quite strong. When 500 Soldier Kings gather together, the combat power they burst out is basically equivalent to that of an ordinary division.
Although the troops they formed were composed of new recruits, after so many days of training, they already had initial combat effectiveness.
Letting them charge into battle might not be enough, but letting them defend the position shouldn't be a big problem.
These battle-hardened soldiers not only possess outstanding combat skills and strategic awareness, but each of them also possesses outstanding command capabilities.
They were able to take full advantage of the terrain, accurately arrange defense lines, and build fortifications that were impregnable.
This enabled them to always maintain the initiative on the battlefield and effectively resist the enemy's attacks.
Under their command, the defensive battle was fought successfully.
Through their dense firepower network, they effectively blocked the charge of the multinational coalition forces and prevented the enemy from breaking through the defense line.
Every enemy attack was met with a fierce counterattack, resulting in heavy casualties.
The soldiers of the multinational coalition began to feel fearful of the war and their morale was seriously affected.
The commander-in-chief of the multinational coalition forces anxiously watched the situation on the battlefield and realized that the situation had become extremely unfavorable.
He made a prompt decision and ordered the entire army to retreat and change the retreat route to avoid being trapped in a desperate situation.
However, would the soldiers let them go easily?
They were keenly aware of the enemy's movements and decisively led their troops to launch a counterattack, not giving the enemy any chance to breathe.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the commander-in-chief of the multinational coalition forces hurriedly ordered the bandits to send out an elite rearguard force to stop the pursuit of the soldiers.
The bandit commander was very unhappy after receiving the order.
He believed that his country had already paid a huge price in this operation, and it was unfair that it now had to bear the responsibility of covering the rest of the way.
Although he was dissatisfied, the bandit commander also understood that he had to obey the unified dispatch of the multinational coalition forces at this moment, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
So he had no choice but to obey orders and left behind a powerful rear guard force to try to stop the pursuit of the military kings.
Because the bandits and the multinational coalition forces left behind a rearguard force, this army composed of military elites was successfully stopped.
The main forces of the bandits and the multinational coalition bypassed the battlefield and rushed towards the big city they had planned.
Just then, something happened that made them feel desperate.
Not long after they took a detour, the scouts ahead brought disappointing news: an unidentified armed force had appeared ahead and blocked their way.
What’s worse is that the number of people in this unknown armed force is even greater than the previous one!
The commanders of the bandit troops and the multinational coalition forces were completely panicked.
The commander-in-chief of the multinational coalition forces was as pale as paper, and his voice was filled with fear and despair.
"Quick, organize forces and launch a strong attack immediately. We must open the road before dawn!"
His voice was full of determination, as if he was fighting a final battle with fate.
He knew that if they couldn't open the road before dawn, they would face catastrophe.
Commanders from various countries also responded, their voices filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
They understand that time is of the essence and every moment can mean the difference between life and death.
"No matter what, our retreating troops must withdraw to the big city ahead after daybreak." The commander-in-chief emphasized again, his eyes firm and resolute.
However, they knew it would be a tough battle.
The enemy has occupied the advantageous terrain and it will take a huge price for them to break through the defense line.
"No matter how many casualties we suffer, we must persevere." The commander-in-chief's voice became low, but full of determination.
He knew very well that only in this way could he buy more time for the retreating troops.
Otherwise, once daybreak comes, their retreating force will be completely exposed to the sight of the National Salvation Army's air force.
Even if they were not bombed by the National Salvation Army's Air Force, once they were caught up by the National Salvation Army's pursuit troops and their weapons of mass destruction were used against them, the consequences would be disastrous.
"I don't know how many lives our two or three hundred thousand retreating troops will pay..." the commander-in-chief muttered to himself.
At this moment, everyone felt the threat of death.
But they have no choice but to move forward and fight for survival.
An adjutant received the order and went down to mobilize troops and attack the armed forces that were blocking them.
The commander-in-chief of the bandit force spoke with a gloomy expression.
"Based on the current situation, the armed forces blocking our advance are most likely troops sent by the National Salvation Army."
He paused and continued his analysis, "Judging from their equipment and combat effectiveness, they are probably not regular troops, but they are definitely not ordinary local armed forces either.
I suspect this is a unit of the National Salvation Army that has infiltrated our rear.”
A general next to him nodded in agreement.
The bandit commander went on to say, “However, they have assembled such a large force in such a short time, so there must be a large number of new recruits among them.
Although they are numerous, they lack combat experience and their fighting power may be limited.
We must take this opportunity to open up the passage. Once they become familiar with the flow of the battle, we will pay a heavy price if we want to open up the passage quickly."
Just as the bandits and the multinational coalition forces were organizing their troops to launch a strong attack on the armed forces on their way forward.
The scout reported back another bad news.
