Chapter 621 The Reinforcements Finally Arrived
"General, it's just as the prisoner said. Their village is more than ten miles away, and there is a small road behind the village to escape." Several scouts returned and reported the collected information to Zhao Guirong.

The captured middle-aged man was tied here, and he heard the scouts report to Zhao Guirong. Although he didn't understand what they were talking about, he roughly knew that his village had been exposed because of his betrayal.

"Well done, this time they will accept our most severe revenge." Zhao Guirong sat cross-legged on the ground, with the sword beside him stuck in the ground.

This is the third day of their blocked stay here.

"Are we about to set off to attack the village? Our plan to attack Gaoping City has been delayed for three days." Some low-ranking officers also sat cross-legged on the ground.

"Just in case, wait a little longer, our reinforcements are coming soon." Zhao Guirong calmed down the restless crowd, but he still had no plans to attack the native villages immediately.

"I can't help it anymore. In this damn jungle, mosquitoes can kill people. It's even harder than when we were training in Guilin." A low-ranking officer complained.

"It seems that we still underestimated the living conditions here. In the place where we practiced martial arts in Guilin, in order to facilitate the transportation of grain and grass, we chose the forest close to Guilin City. Some." Zhao Guirong said.

"Next time I want to be transferred to the battlefield on the Western Front. I heard that the Seventh Corps on the Western Front has regained all the territory of the former Protectorate of the Western Regions, and it only took three months to end the battle. I would rather go to The battlefield on the western front, facing the sky-filled Gobi, is better than the current jungle of snakes, insects and beasts, right?" said a junior officer.

"Do you think the Great Gobi will be easy? You can easily die in a sandstorm," Zhao Guirong said.

While Zhao Guirong was chatting with everyone, the Kyushu army sentries on the outskirts came to report in a panic.But before they could speak, the soldiers suddenly cheered one after another: "Our reinforcements have arrived, reinforcements have arrived!"

Zhao Guirong and others were moved and stood up from the ground.After waiting three days aggrieved, it was finally time to counterattack.

"Let's go and have a look." Zhao Guirong patted the dust, and led a group of mid-level and low-ranking officers to walk down the stream.

On the forest road when they came, there were indeed troops wearing the uniforms of the Kyushu Army. They were also in groups, and there were cows dragging artillery in the middle of the team. The number of people could not be seen at a glance because of the winding road.The supporting army was Zhao Guirong's two infantry battalions and one artillery battalion who could not wait to assemble. They had more than 3000 soldiers, three times the current strength of Zhao Guirong.

"It's here!" Zhao Guirong rubbed his hands.

After more than 3000 people arrived with the logistics troops, Zhao Guirong's force suddenly expanded to more than 6000 people.The reinforcements who arrived were a little surprised to see that many of their comrades who marched ahead were injured, because they were never in such a mess when they attacked Lang Son.

Zhao Guirong quickly gathered four battalion officers, and on the soft soil beside the stream, he used branches to draw out the terrain described by the scouts: "This time, I was too conceited and marched alone, which caused our vanguard to suffer a big loss. .We must wake up our minds for the next action. You can see that this area is the main body of their village. There are more than a thousand people including old women, old and young, and there are about [-] Zheng family soldiers. Before They may have killed or injured hundreds of people in the battle, and they still outnumber us, but now that all our main forces have arrived, the number is more than three times theirs."

"Now use the [-]st and [-]nd Infantry Battalion as the main force to attack the gate of the village. The Artillery Battalion will provide support. The [-]rd Infantry Battalion will turn around to the rear of the village and ambush them on the trail behind. If they abandon the village and escape, the ambush troops must stop them , Let them choose to die in battle or surrender. Get ready to go!"

The arrival of the main force quickly alerted the native scouts who were watching in the dark.These native scouts were surprised to find that behind the Kyushu Army's [-]-man unit, which was already difficult to deal with, there was a reinforcement army three times their size!Unlike the Kyushu Army and reinforcements, the Tumin village has only so few people, and the Zheng family's troops are also homeless dogs, so they don't have reinforcements!Even if they temporarily searched for them from the surrounding villages to resist the Kyushu Army, it seemed too late.

"Go back and inform the patriarch and the young patriarch, there is another group of northern barbarians, about 4000 people." A scout asked his companions to return to the village.

The companion also knew that the situation was serious, so he didn't say much, and hurriedly shuttled through the forest, returning to the village as soon as possible.

The head of the young patriarch took more than 200 young and strong people in the village, collected a pile of dry firewood and kerosene, and piled them at the gate of the village, intending to use fire attacks at night to attack the Kyushu army and destroy them in one fell swoop.In order to defeat the Kyushu Army, he also made a great determination to make the decision to set fire to the forest and destroy the forest.

"Young patriarch, something is wrong!" A scout monitoring the Kyushu army ran back in a hurry, saw the young patriarch leading someone at the door, and hurriedly panted to the young patriarch and said to him.

"What made you flustered, we will soon defeat the northern barbarians, what's wrong with it." Seeing that the scouts said something ominous, the young patriarch said angrily.

"The Kyushu Army... The Kyushu Army has come to reinforce the army, and there are... several thousand people. Now they have 6000 to [-] people..." the scout gasped.

"Isn't it just five or six thousand... What did you say?!" The young patriarch didn't react for a while at first, but then he understood, and hurriedly picked up the scout.

"It's true..." the scout said.

Zheng Hu walked out of the village in armor, with a dozen soldiers behind him: "What happened, why is it so noisy at the entrance of the village?"

"Zheng Hu, we may not be able to implement our fire attack plan tonight, and we need to arrange defenses as soon as possible." The young patriarch's face was bloodless.The Kyushu Army of more than a thousand people caused heavy losses to the coalition forces of the village and the Zheng family's troops, and this was still when they had the advantage of the terrain.Now that the Kyushu Army has three times more reinforcements, and they are beginning to familiarize themselves with the surrounding terrain again, and the offensive and defensive changes, the young patriarch can't help but not worry.

"Five or six thousand...?" Zheng Hu was also stunned when he heard it, and said reflexively, "If it is true, there is no way to fight, why don't you follow me to Gaoping City and fight with the guards there? The armies converge."
