<strong>Capítulo 1520: Chapter 1521: The Regr Army Trapped in Heavy Encirclement</strong>


    Rumus had no idea how many people hade or what kind of weapons they had. Just now, in the flicker of two incendiary bombs, he only got a rough idea that many people hade.


    “Everyone, stay calm. Third and fourth groups, provide cover. First and second groups, retreat,” Rumus issued the retreat order.


    Though he didn’t know why they suddenly appeared here, it was clear that they were the domestic rebel army, as only a rebel army could have such a scale.


    The rebel army and they were mortal enemies, and now a fierce battle was sure to ensue between the two.


    Initially, he had received information that Xia Cheng’s people had some connection with the rebel army, but he hadn’t expected their support toe so quickly.


    Their firepower was overwhelming, with intentions to annihte Rumus and his forces.


    But Rumus’s troops were all professionally trained and had a belief in protecting the nation. Therefore, despite being surrounded, no one was afraid, and they were all resolved to sacrifice themselves for the country.


    Rumus understood the gravity of the situation, so upon confirming that they were the rebel army, he immediately contacted the nearby military district and requested their aid.


    In fact, the moment their airnes and tanks arrived, the nearby military district already knew, but since they confirmed it was their own people, they took no action. Now, having received their own people’s request for aid, they researched and deployed, mobilizing arge number of troops.


    Xiang Yu and his group were hiding in the distance, not stepping forward. This battlefield did not belong to them, andpared to these two groups, they were still too weak.


    “Wu Jing, take everyone and retreat first,” Xiang Yu hurriedly said.


    The current situation had already exceeded imagination, and no one knew what would happen next.


    They were now on the outskirts of the battlefield, but there was still the danger of being entangled. Although their forces were notrge, it was all the strength of the Orchid Mercenary Corps, and a few shells could obliterate thempletely.


    “What about Xiao Min?” Cheng Wn asked worriedly.


    “You don’t need to worry about this; I will get her out,” Xiang Yu said seriously.


    With the esction of the war, he increasingly felt that it was unsafe here. He had only brought these people to broaden their horizons, and now he had achieved that purpose.


    After all, if these mercenary corps grow stronger in the future, they will also experience such situations, and realizing the harshness of the battlefield now will be beneficial for their future training.


    “Brother, I’ll go with you,” Xiao Xuan stood beside Xiang Yu and said.


    Xiang Yu nodded in agreement, then looked at Wu Jing and said, “Take your time and lead the brothers out of here. Don’t wander around, go straight back to base.”


    Wu Jing responded seriously, nodding quickly. He understood the gravity of the situation.


    “Brother Yu, be careful. I’ll be waiting for you at home,” Wu Jing said, then looked at the people behind him and said, “Everyone, prepare to retreat.”


    Wu Jing was their instructor and had been with them the longest. His words were orders.


    Everyone retreated in an orderly manner under Wu Jing’smand.


    “I want to stay with you,” Cheng Wn said with a determined look.


    “Me too,” Li Bingbing stood next to Cheng Wn and said.


    “Get out of here quickly; you’ll only be in the way,” Xiang Yu said sternly.


    “But…”


    “Go,” Xiang Yu red and shouted.


    The situation was critical now, beyond his expectations. Rumus was the local military districtmander and was now deeply entangled; he would definitely call for reinforcements.


    By the time the main forces arrive, no one will be able to take care of anyone.


    Cheng Wn felt unwilling. They hade to rescue Zhong Min, and now leaving Xiang Yu here again made her feel guilty.


    “Since he’s so confident, let’s go back,” Li Bingbing grabbed Cheng Wn’s arm and said.


    Cheng Wn had no choice but to nod in the end, and then retreated with Li Bingbing.


    Xiang Yu, seeing the two leave, felt much more at ease, then turned to look at Tie Zhuzi.


    “Brother Yu, don’t make me leave. This time I won’t leave, even if it kills me,” Tie Zhuzi stubbornly dered.


    He wasn’t reassured with Xiao Xuan following Xiang Yu; it had happened twice now where Xiao Xuan returned without Xiang Yu.


    Seeing Tie Zhuzi like this, Xiang Yu helplessly shook his head and said, “Be careful, this ce is very dangerous.”


    Tie Zhuzi, seeing that Xiang Yu wasn’t making him leave, nodded happily, saying, “Don’t worry, Brother Yu. We’ve weathered many storms together; this is nothing more than a drizzle.”


    Just as he said that, a shell exploded next to them. Xiang Yu reacted swiftly, pushing the two to the ground.


    After all, Xiang Yu was battle-hardened, experienced in this environment.


    Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan were both quite ashamed; they had stayed to protect Xiang Yu, yet now Xiang Yu had to protect them.


    “Brother, are you alright?” Xiao Xuan asked worriedly, looking at Xiang Yu.


    All three of them were now covered in mud, from head to toe.


    “I’m fine,” Xiang Yu said calmly, looking into the distance.


    The battle had entered a fever pitch, bullets flying as if they were free.


    Meanwhile, Rumus was anxious as their ne’s ammunition was depleted, and the fuel was also alerting; it indicated an immediate need tond.


    Leaving his soldiers here while flying away was something he absolutely couldn’t do.


    He was anxious on the ne, continuously calling for support on the phone.


    “Are you there yet?” Rumus shouted.


    “Don’t worry, we’ll arrive within twenty minutes,” someone replied on the other side.


    “How can I not worry? If youe anyter, we’ll be wiped out,” Rumus shouted.


    Actually, Rumus’s troops were not without the ability to fight; they were just surrounded and unfamiliar with the terrain, and with the rebel army’s involvement, he was somewhat lost for a moment.


    The reinforcements needed another twenty minutes to arrive, but looking at the current level of engagement, they simply couldn’t hold out for that long; the enemy’s assault was overwhelmingly fierce.


    When he was at his wit’s end, he thought of Xiang Yu. This kid was very mysterious, and maybe he might have some good ideas.


    Thinking of this, he called Xiang Yu on the phone.


    At this moment, Xiang Yu was just about to charge inside with Tie Zhuzi when he saw his phone vibrating, took it out, and nced at it.


    “Commander, what are your orders?” Xiang Yu said calmly.


    Hearing Xiang Yu’s voice, Rumus felt a sense of unreality. With the whole ce engulfed in shellfire, the other side still seemed so calm.


    “We’re surrounded. Do you have any good ideas?” Rumus asked anxiously.


    “No way, aren’t you a dignified military districtmander asking me what to do? What can I do?” Xiang Yu said somewhat helplessly.


    “Where are your people? Bring them and support us immediately,” Rumus urged anxiously.


    He had seen the people Xiang Yu brought, though not many and poorly armed, they still constituted a small force…
