Chapter 657: The Allied Forces split up to block the Pumasai reinforcements, and the Marshal decisiv
After about two hours of thrilling and fierce fighting, the enemy suddenly and unexpectedly betrayed and began to retreat.
This sudden change allowed our army to quickly seize the opportunity. The vanguard broke through the enemy's defenses like a tiger descending from a mountain, the rear troops pressed forward like a mountain crushing an egg, and the other forces outflanked the enemy like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey. The entire battle process was as smooth as flowing water and was fought exceptionally beautifully.
However, when we counted the number of people, we found that another two thousand brave knights had unfortunately died.
Both sides are well-trained elite troops, and the other side has a clear advantage in manpower. This victory was entirely achieved through the tenacious fighting and hard work of the soldiers.
General Yakov looked at the tragic scene in front of him and said with a heavy heart: "The rear army and the vanguard battalion will stay and defend the pass. At the same time, they will be responsible for cleaning the battlefield so that those soldiers who died for their country can rest in peace. The rest of you will mount your mounts immediately!
Holding the pass is not only for the safety of the 30,000 logistics soldiers and the 150,000 wolf transport team, but also for the stability of the entire war situation..."
All the generals agreed in unison. Although the soldiers of the vanguard camp were exhausted, they decided to stay. They needed time to heal and rest.
The other troops did not dare to delay for even a moment and continued on their way without stopping. After all, there were military supervisors in the rear urging them to support the anti-rebellion marshal as they had to race against time. If they were not careful, the consequences would be disastrous.
Because if the anti-rebellion marshal met with an accident, these generals would probably not have a good end. Military orders were as heavy as a mountain, and they had to charge forward no matter how tired they were. The king had issued a death order.
On the other hand, Kashin had a good rest in the wheat field and his fatigue was reduced. He was hiding in the suburbs and it was difficult to enter the city. Obviously, he could not launch another surprise attack.
Angel was hiding in the city. It couldn't bear to leave the knight-level undead, so it devoured their souls in the city. After three days, some of the souls disappeared.
In fact, the refining of that special dark staff can only be accelerated on the battlefield. What a lucky guy! This time, there will definitely be a continuous battle, and this soul-refining weapon will definitely be refined.
Kashin thought about it, separated from Anqi temporarily, and ran towards Luoxia Slope with Silver Wolf to see when to help his wife. He couldn't get into the city wall that was so high.
However, at this time, Master Sendi once again destroyed the logistics troops and even spared the camel's wolves, killing almost all of them, among whom Zhuangzhuang made a lot of contributions.
As usual, it is most important to take some water back to the troops...
"Great! I'm specifically looking for trouble with logistics! The enemy needs to be well fed? That's not easy! Zhuangzhuang has made a great contribution this time."
Until the space ring and backpack were filled with clean water, they immediately evacuated the scene and flew away.
After about an hour, Master Sendi landed at Luoxiapo, finished writing one large sheepskin bag after another, and then walked towards Tan Aili's tent.
At this moment, she was sitting quietly in the tent, closing her eyes, adjusting her breathing, and devoting herself to the practice of breathing techniques.
Suddenly, a light sound of footsteps broke the silence in the tent. She slowly opened her eyes and saw that it was the guard who came to report that Master Sendi wanted to see her. She smiled slightly, stood up, straightened her clothes, and then asked the guard to invite the master in.
After Master Sendi entered the tent, he bowed to her and then went straight to the point:
"Marshal, I just successfully destroyed another grain transport team! Not only that, I also brought back some clean water. After a short rest, I will return to the original place to move more supplies. This time, I came mainly to ask the Marshal if there is any next military action?"
She nodded and replied with a smile: "It's not the right time today. Master, please find more water and make sure the soldiers don't suffer from thirst. They don't dare to drink water freely, it's too hard... As for attacking the enemy, the time is not yet ripe. I still hope to wait for the arrival of reinforcements. Unless it is absolutely necessary, the mountain division must not fight with the heavy cavalry..."
Master Sendi nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he understood the Marshal's decision. He continued, "If there is no military action, I will go back to get water. I will destroy all the supplies that I cannot take away to prevent them from falling into the hands of the enemy. Marshal, you should also pay more attention, as the enemy may also be facing a water shortage problem."
Hearing this, Tan Aili's eyes suddenly lit up. She calmly picked up the map and studied it carefully. As expected, as Master Sendi said, there was no obvious water source within a ten-mile radius. She was secretly happy in her heart. If the enemy army did not have enough logistical supplies, their morale would soon be weakened.
"Good! The enemy also has flaws. Master, please use your air superiority and pay attention to the enemy's logistics. If they are short of water, you must march ten miles to get it. Then, Master, please use your strong strength to defeat them."
"I understand! Take care, Marshal. I'll go get some water." Sendi left happily.
Tan Aili breathed a sigh of relief. The enemy was also in trouble. They fought desperately and had a glimmer of confidence. Thinking of this, she felt very happy and asked the female soldier to get some food for her to relieve her tense heart...
The army guarding the pass withdrew to the camp late at night and brought the bad news that the heavy cavalry of Pumasai was coming to support. The commander of the coalition forces felt something was wrong, so he immediately convened a meeting.
There are only two ways to meet.
1. The entire army attacked Luoxiapo. Now there are more than 200,000 troops, leaving no room for maneuver. However, the heavy cavalry is too slow and is facing uphill, so they have no advantage.
Second, withdraw to the capital and defend it to the death. As we all know, it is impossible to defend it at all, because the big country will only send troops to it continuously, and defense is never the best option.
The atmosphere at the meeting was heated, with everyone expressing their opinions and arguing endlessly, making it difficult to make a decision. After a heated discussion, everyone realized that if they adopted a defensive strategy, then this gamble would inevitably end in failure.
Just when everyone was at a loss, the leader of the alliance stepped forward and said, "There is only one way now, which is to send a general to lead an army of 100,000 to intercept Pumasay's reinforcements.
If we succeed, the bandits at Luoxia Slope will be in dire straits due to the loss of support, and will eventually starve to death. In this way, we still have a chance of survival, while the enemy will definitely suffer heavy losses and lose their vitality. "
As soon as the voice fell, someone responded loudly: "What the coalition commander said is very true. I am willing to lead the army to intercept him!" Everyone looked closely and found that it turned out to be the commander of the Principality of Shanfeng, Earl Zhuang Lushi.
The leader of the alliance saw this and said quickly, "Great, great! Earl Zhuang Lushi, it is reassuring that you are here in person. However, this mission is difficult and requires you to prepare as soon as possible.
Since Pumasai's reinforcements may pass through Judi and Zluborg, our soldiers must march quickly and must not allow any contact between them. "
Since the defeated army that had retreated earlier had no idea how many troops Pumasay had, to be on the safe side, the alliance commander decided to use 100,000 heavy cavalry to resist the enemy to ensure that there would be no mistakes.
