Chapter 357: The church's armed forces fled, and Tan Aili ordered a hunt - a plan to cut off th
At this moment, there were bursts of exclamations and words of praise from the crowd.
"The supervisor actually used the rushing tactic to successfully kill those sharpshooters. It's amazing! He is truly a role model for our generation. I admire him so much!"
"That's right. This is too dangerous. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't have the courage and guts to do this."
Hearing everyone's discussion, Tok drew his bow and arrow while responding loudly: "Everyone must not blindly imitate this tactic. Saving your own life is the most important thing. If you want to use the running tactic, you must first run so fast that the enemy has no time to aim and shoot. And in the dark like now, you must be able to accurately sense the enemy's position, and at the same time have excellent ability to listen to the wind and identify the position and flexible dodging skills. Only when these conditions are met can the chance of success be increased."
However, just as Jeantok was about to finish his words, he loosened his right hand and another extremely sharp armor-piercing cone flew out like lightning.
Unfortunately, the aim was slightly off this time, and it missed the target's vital parts. A scream was heard, and the armor-piercing cone shot straight into the shoulder of a paladin, instantly blowing off a large piece of flesh and blood. The paladin's right arm was disabled on the spot, and the severe pain made him howl like a pig being slaughtered...
Jean Tocque did not mention that he had killed five sharpshooters. In his opinion, this might not be worth mentioning. After all, as far as the current scouts were concerned, their combat experience and cognitive level were completely unable to understand such a brutal and efficient combat method.
In their eyes, killing a sharpshooter might be a great achievement, but for Jean Tocque, it did not need any further explanation.
About half an hour later, after a bag of thirty precious magic metal arrows were used up, Tok was left with nothing to do.
The teammates had already emptied their quivers, and although they were still reluctant to leave, they had no choice but to retreat. In short, the purpose of this battle had been achieved, which was to let the church know that they could not leave at all.
This safe and reliable fighting method is undoubtedly the most cost-effective. The long-distance field battle put us in an absolutely safe position, easily causing more than a thousand casualties to the enemy. This battle tonight can be said to be very valuable.
"Everyone, retreat, we have run out of arrowheads, let's go!" Jean Toc shouted loudly.
"Commander, they left behind a lot of wounded soldiers. Why don't we kill them all before we leave?" a team member said anxiously.
Jean Tocque glared at him and said, "What do you know? Obeying orders, letting the enemy rescue the wounded will not only waste food, but also require the priest to use divine spells to heal the wounded. This is a good thing for us!"
"Supervisor, you are wise. Right, let's retreat!" The team members suddenly realized.
Jean Tocque continued, "Everyone, be careful. I'll cover you. We need to use our brains to fight. We need to use our limited forces to defeat their 100,000-man army instead of simply killing people..."
At this moment, the team's morale was high. If it weren't for the lack of arrowheads, they would really be reluctant to leave.
The wise general achieved a glorious victory by defeating a larger force with clever tactics and accurate judgment.
In this team, it is precisely because of the experienced instructors like Jean Tocque who impart experience to them that they can learn the war mentality through osmosis.
This is like learning a profound skill. With the guidance of a good teacher, once you get the hang of it, you can unleash unexpected power in battle.
After a night attack, the church forces were beaten back. The white-robed priest sighed: "Sure enough, this river is a dangerous obstacle to retreat. Their people are good at conspiracies and tricks. We have been tricked. Either we go south through the mountains to escape and find an independent territory to rest. There are so many of us, and small territories cannot support us. Then we can only fight for more independent territories to recuperate. Shadowmoon City can only wait for the opportunity. We really can't attack it..."
Johnny: "I am so unwilling to accept this. This area is rich and prosperous. If we don't spread the gospel, we will be derelict in our duty! If we cannot win the war and are forced to move south, how can we face the bishop of the Christians if we retreat to the Quick Province..."
The white-robed priest said: "Yes, I am responsible for the defeat in this battle. If I can help the soldiers escape, I will kneel before the Lord, confess my mistakes, and pray for His forgiveness..."
The whole night was silent. In the silent night, the priests worked non-stop, healing more than 300 wounded with magical arts. Those who were originally seriously injured were miraculously able to walk after the blessing of magic.
Under the careful care of the pastors, their recovery seemed to be just around the corner.
The whole army began to gear up, and everyone looked solemn and determined. They slowly moved forward with food that could only last for three days. The two thousand heavy cavalry led by fifty holy knights were responsible for the rear guard and escorting the entire team.
Meanwhile, Tan Aili was enjoying her breakfast leisurely in the pavilion in the sycamore forest in the backyard. Two maids were carefully preparing the dishes for her, allowing her to enjoy the delicious food more conveniently.
Jean Tocque strode into the backyard with big strides, stood respectfully outside the balcony, and reported to Tan Aili the news that the church's armed forces had fled south.
Bryony elegantly took the cutlery from the table to wipe her mouth, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said, "Is this the level of the church's armed forces? Are they in such a hurry to escape? Let the brothers have a good breakfast and receive three days of field rations. We will deal with them well in those mountains. By the way, I will talk to Crocodile Holly and ask them to let their warriors who are good at jungle warfare act together. You must cooperate closely with their people."
"Yes! We will try to bring as many supplies as possible. The most fearful thing in the forest is running out of ammunition and food." Jean Toc responded quickly.
"Let go! Just fight. I will lead the armed forces of the merchant group to help you with supplies. Remember to mark the way along the way. After you get the alchemical marking paint, you can go first and I will follow behind..." Blaney said confidently.
Jean Tocque looked worried and said, "Master, there is no need to take risks. Send a capable general to take charge of logistics! If anything happens to you, I will not be able to give an explanation to Captain Kashin..."
"It's okay! Don't worry about it. The combat assassins sent by the church are from the same origin as me. With my experience and understanding of their techniques, I can at least easily see through their tricks and schemes. If we choose to let these guys go now, we will definitely face more and bigger troubles in the future. You know, every time they go to a place, they can attract many believers to join them, and their power will continue to grow like a snowball. Therefore, we must not let them continue to survive in the world. Moreover, once entering the vast jungle, the heavy knights will hardly be able to play a role. In this environment, this life-and-death contest will become a peak showdown between you hunters and assassins!"
Tan Aili stepped forward and expressed her willingness to take the initiative to undertake the logistical support work of this operation. Her move undoubtedly injected a shot of adrenaline into the entire action plan, greatly increasing the possibility of success.
Jean Tocque, who was standing by, could not help but feel deeply worried. After all, facing such a cunning and powerful enemy, no mistake could be allowed in any link. And the logistics support work seemed simple, but it was actually of great importance. The slightest mistake could lead to a total loss.
But at this moment, he also knew that there was no better choice and could only pray silently that everything would go well.
