<h4>Chapter 1734: Chapter 1735: The Rescue Force Finally Arrives</h4>


    "Hurry up and seal this breach for me." Ryan shouted anxiously as he realized a breach had opened in the rear.


    Once there is a breach, if it is not quickly sealed, it will gradually expand.


    The troops dispatched to suppress Xiang Yu’s rebel army were urgently called back to fill the breach.


    At this moment, a squad had already escaped from inside. As soon as they got out, they began contacting headquarters to request orders.


    Now their formation is chaotic, leaderless, causing instability in morale.


    The order they received from their superiors was to continue attacking the breach, coordinating internally and externally topletely tear it open.


    After receiving the order, the squad turned around and began to fight.


    As the saying goes, military orders are to be obeyed, and even though their ammunition was running low, they persisted in executing their orders on-site.


    Their n was to coordinate from the inside, but the rebels reacted too quickly, and the breach was soon blocked.


    Furthermore, the troops inside had lost their formation, panic set in, and they lost their fighting power.


    The surrounded troops were encircled in the center just like that.


    Outside, Scar led his troops down the mountain and quickly hid.


    After all, this battlefield was not theirs, and there was no need to risk their lives for this gain.


    Scar hid his team on a distant barren mountain, observing the situation here from afar like Xiang Yu.


    Meanwhile, intense fighting erupted between the encircled troops and the surrounding rebel army.


    After all, the rebels held the geographical advantage and were on their home turf, giving them a significant edge.


    "Send the order, fire on the central position without limit, I want to st these people into smithereens." Ryan sneered coldly.


    Initially, he hadn’t nned to use artillery, but the intensity exceeded Ryan’s expectations.


    At this moment, rows of artillery were brought out from inside the mountain.


    Some of the troops saw the enemy’s artillery and were almost scared to faint.


    If the enemy had used these earlier, they likely wouldn’t have made it this far.


    At the same time, themand headquarters also observed the rebel army’s actions.


    Themander-in-chief was frantically pacing and roaring, "Why hasn’t the support troops arrived yet?"


    The othermanders all hung their heads in silence, appearing vastly different from their previous casual demeanors.


    Keru, however, watched therge screen with some excitement. It was unexpected that after being away from the rebels for so long, they had developed so rapidly, even organizing an artillery regiment.


    At this point, the sky gradually cleared, with a full moon hanging high, illuminating everything on the mountain.


    Under the previous rain, they could still temporarily hide; now they werepletely exposed.


    Looking at the round moon in the sky, Ryanughed directly, feeling even the heavens were helping him.


    When they were hiding, it thunderstormed; now, as they began their counterattack, the sky cleared.


    "st them fiercely for me, annihte these peoplepletely." Ryan eximed spiritedly.


    As Ryan issued the order, his phone rang, it was Commander Liao calling.


    "What’s the situation on your end?" Commander Liao asked straightforwardly.


    "Commander, everything is going smoothly. We’ve encircled the enemy troops now, and we’re nning an extermination strike." Ryan replied excitedly.


    "Order the troops to withdraw immediately. I’ve received intel that enemy reinforcements are about to arrive." Commander Liao said resolutely.


    "Commander..." Ryan said reluctantly, seeing victory within reach, but being ordered to retreat was frustrating for anyone.


    "Execute the order." Commander Liaomanded firmly.


    Ryan wanted to say more, but the call had already ended.


    Gripping the phone tightly, Ryan felt an urge to smash it.


    Just then, the artillery outside began to rumble, with deafening explosions echoing through the sky.


    It was no different from when they had been bombarded earlier, except now they were concealed and the enemy was exposed.


    Hearing the explosions outside, Ryan felt an indescribable exhration.


    Although he received a retreat order, having his men continue the bombardment felt satisfying.


    mes shot up from Luang Feng Mountain, apanied by screams of agony from the center.


    "s," Xiang Yu couldn’t help but sigh from a distance.


    Although this war had little to do with Xiang Yu, as soldiers, they couldn’t help feeling uneasy.


    "Brother Yu, let’s retreat first." Wu Jing said to Xiang Yu.


    By now, the oue seemed set; without reinforcements, death awaited the troops.


    Fortunately, Rumus’s team had already escaped, thanks to Xiang Yu’s alert.


    Xiang Yu nodded, then led his troops away.


    Who won or lost this war didn’t matter much to Xiang Yu; it was part of local politics, best left for them to resolve themselves.


    In themand headquarters, themander-in-chief leaned on themand table, his head bowed, a sense of powerlessness enveloping him.


    Now he deeply regretted not heeding Rumus’s advice; it was toote for everything.


    The othermanders also hung their heads in silence, each feeling responsible for the oue.


    "Commander, aerial support has arrived and is signaling us, hoping we can provide detailed coordinates of the rebels," one staff member said excitedly.


    Themander’s eyes brightened upon hearing the support had arrived. "Respond to them immediately, and send them the precise locations we have on the enemy." he instructed.


    "Yes." the person replied.


    Themander looked up at the screen before him, filled with scenes of explosions sending debris flying.


    "Continue the bombardment, quickly bomb," inside the rebel base, Ryan said anxiously as he looked at his watch.


    Four minutes had passed since Commander Liao’s call. Ryan nned to begin the retreat at the five-minute mark with everyone.


    "Commander, enemy aircraft spotted," someone rushed over to report.


    "What, retreat, retreat immediately," Ryanmanded.


    "Boom!"


    Just as Ryan finished speaking, a bombing sound came from above; the enemy nes had begun their attack.


    "Retreat, send the orders, retreat now," Ryan shouted.


    Outside, dozens of fighter jets were bombing ording to provided positions.


    The trapped and desperate troops inside saw their support finally arrive, and hope for survival rekindled within them; someone shouted, "Comrades, our rescue units are here, let’s fight back together."


    All the troops charged forward like mad, their spirits high; this life was borrowed, ready to fight or die.


    Meanwhile, the rebel troops, having received the retreat order, began to pack up and withdraw...
