Chapter 669: Let the Tok Archery Team kill a group of mounts and then evacuate

At this critical moment, An Qi appeared in front of Kashin like a god sent from heaven. Kashin was overjoyed and blurted out:

"Angie! I feel so uncomfortable without you by my side these days!"

Kashin is well aware of Angel's abilities. She can see through the enemy's every move. With Angel, Kashin is like having an extra pair of eyes, allowing him to better control the battle situation.

Kashin decided to stay put and wait for the army led by his wife to pass by. He wanted to stay by his wife's side to ensure her safety.

Speaking of Tan Aili and Blainey, Cashen's heart clearly leans more towards Tan Aili.

The two of them knew each other and loved each other, being honest with each other without reservation. Moreover, Tan Aili was the first woman in Kashin's life, and this relationship was unforgettable for him.

Tan Aili not only has a broad mind and outstanding talents, but what impresses Kashin even more is her business ability and military strategy.

Whether in business or on the battlefield, she is able to handle things with ease, showing extraordinary wisdom and courage. In addition, Tan Aili is also kind and generous to the people, has a heart for the world, and has a grand ambition to change the world.

In the process of getting along with her, Kashin was deeply influenced by her and gradually understood what true righteousness and responsibility are.

In comparison, although Blainey is also an outstanding woman, her compassion for the world and her wisdom and courage are equally admirable.

Her love with Kashin is pure and deep, but she does not desire to have a family. For Kashin, the warmth of home is what he yearns for.

A cultivator has little family or kinship. After she turns 30, she will practice in seclusion and not care about worldly affairs. Her relationship with Kashin is dispensable because she needs to read a lot of books and acquire more knowledge, and basically has no time to take care of other things.

Because of this difference, Kashen loves Tan Aili a little more. They both want to have a home and live a peaceful life, but they have to embark on the journey due to the troubles of the world.

They both planned to live happily together in Sheldon Castle until peace was restored.

Thinking of meeting his wife soon, Kashin could not help but feel excited. They had not seen each other for more than half a year. Both sides were busy fighting. They could feel each other close...

On the other hand, the scouts withdrew and immediately reported to the ambushed Rantok in the bushes that the enemy had come here at night...

Tok instantly woke up from his deep sleep: "Okay, they are finally here. We have limited arrowheads, and fighting at night is disadvantageous. Alas! The original plan was to shoot only the mounts, and then retreat after all the arrows were shot, leaving it to the main force to annihilate them. No one is allowed to fight to the end."

The order was quickly passed to various ambush points, and a large number of soldiers were awakened in an instant, ready to shoot freely. The combat mission was to shoot the limited arrowheads, then evacuate the scene, leave the battle, and gather in the woods five miles away.

Then we went to the friendly army's logistics unit to get arrowhead supplies. At present, the logistics unit has not entered the Principality of Maya, so we can only send people to scout everywhere...

The coalition army slowly marched to the Rantoque bush, a complex area that forced them to be cautious. Everyone held up torches to illuminate the road ahead, dismounted, and moved forward at a slow and cautious pace.

They knew very well that there were many dangerous swamps hidden in this area, and they could easily fall into them if they were not careful, so they had to send people to explore the way ahead to ensure that the route was solid and reliable.

This dense bush seemed to be a "guide" for the coalition forces. They found that as long as they walked towards where these low plants grew, they could avoid the danger of stepping into the swamp.

So, some soldiers were sent to explore the way ahead, while others were responsible for shouting commands and directing the entire army to advance in an orderly manner.

In this bush, the coalition army's team seemed particularly long. However, this scene made the sharpshooters hiding in the dark secretly happy.

They were originally worried that poor visibility would affect their shooting effectiveness, but now it seems that these enemy troops are really "considerate" and actually took the initiative to light torches, providing them with clear aiming targets.

The corners of the sharpshooters' mouths slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile, but they did not make any sound, just quietly waiting for the best time to shoot.

When the enemy fully entered the ambush site, the sharpshooters launched the attack without hesitation.

The powerful arrows rained down like raindrops, accurately shooting at the coalition forces. The mounts were the first to be hit, suffering heavy damage and wailing.

Some knights tried to ride their injured mounts to fight back, but after a few steps, they found themselves stuck in the swamp, and the mounts' struggles only caused them to be swallowed up by the quagmire even faster.

At this time, the enemy generals woke up from their dreams and realized that an ambush had been set here. Their situation became extremely passive, as if they were in a desperate situation.

The enemy shot at the mounts but not the people, so these knights could only try to block the arrowheads with their bodies and complain bitterly.

"The enemy is despicable and only cares about destroying our mounts. Everyone uses their bodies to block arrowheads and protect their mounts! A knight without a mount is like a lion without its claws..."

The move was in vain. On average, each person had about fifty arrowheads, all of which were shot, making it impossible for the ten thousand mounts to fight normally. The archers' mission was completed and they were all ordered to withdraw.

Facing the bottomless swamp before them, the enemy was filled with fear and anxiety.

Coupled with the cover of darkness, they did not dare to easily step into this unknown area to hunt down Tok and his group.

Helplessly, they could only stand there, cursing at the backs of Jean Tocque and others, then turned around and left, thinking they were unlucky.

As for the Archers, since the heavy cavalry were not familiar with the terrain of this swamp, they could not charge at full speed like they did on flat ground. Therefore, they could only continue to explore carefully, trying to find a way to safely get out of the swamp.

Throughout the battle, Tok received almost no clear instructions from his superiors, but he was able to rely on his own experience and judgment to successfully complete the combat mission and lead the troops to evacuate smoothly.

This fully demonstrated his ability to accurately control the entire battle situation and make correct decisions in emergency situations.

It is worth mentioning that Tok left a mark for the troops when they retreated, which made their retreat extremely fast. Soon, Tok and his team disappeared in the dark night, making it impossible for the enemy to catch up.

However, the coalition forces were faced with a thorny problem. As more than 10,000 horses could not be used in the swamp, these poor animals could only wail on the spot.

Faced with such a dilemma, the coalition commander had to give orders to the soldiers to kill these mounts on the spot to obtain some meat as rations, and then evacuate this dangerous place as soon as possible.

After all, in this swampy terrain, both sides are in a similar situation and no one can gain much advantage.

Moreover, the food issue had become critical at this time, so although the soldiers were reluctant, they could only kill their mounts with tears and take their meat to fill their stomachs.

In fact, each of these soldiers was equipped with three mounts, so even if a group of them were lost, it would not have a big impact on their march. But the problem was that such piecemeal losses accumulated would also weaken the combat effectiveness of the entire army to a certain extent.
