Chapter 77 The whole army retreats?
On the road with woods on both sides, the enemy's ranks were thin.
The gangsters were in chaos, and the large group was cut off in the middle, but the group in the middle had relatively low combat effectiveness.
The elite infantry on the periphery will not be able to get through for a while, and the ragtag group in the middle has no command, so the numerical advantage is meaningless at this time.
"Cover shot!"
Li Ang once again appeared with archers in the woods on both sides, shooting arrows continuously - these bandits were in a bit of confusion at the moment, and few of them could fight back, so it was a good opportunity to harvest a lot.
Klose led the stormtroopers on a rampage on the road without even encountering any decent resistance.
The great swordsmen of Mettenheim suffered almost no losses, and only two of them suffered minor injuries.
The fighting will of these gangsters in the face of emergencies is completely different from that of the Jatu people.
Li Ang led thirty archers at full output. Facing dense enemies, the archers could still cause a lot of damage no matter how low their proficiency was.
There are also enemies charging at the archers, but Li Ang has been checking and filling the gaps - he has replaced the black but extremely sharp sword in his hand. Almost every time the sword falls, an enemy will fall, and the archers have been surrounded by
There were more than a dozen corpses.
"Assemble! Charge forward!"
"Disperse into the woods! Surround them!"
Two orders came from the enemy team before and after them.
The leading knight has probably run to the front of the team and started charging towards Maixiangling with his men. The enemies in front are already turning around and running away panting!
The elite infantrymen at the end of the team shouted "surround them" and had already entered the woods.
For the enemy, this is the correct way to break the situation.
Since they were cut off and their command was in disarray, they made mistakes. Half of the people in the front charged straight towards Mai Xiangling, and the other half of the people in the back carried out an encirclement.
Even if the casualties are greater and the method is clumsy, it will be difficult for Li Ang to handle.
Li Ang made a decisive decision: "Withdraw!"
Then he opened the way as a vanguard and ran into the woods again.
The archers followed closely behind their lord, Klose's stormtroopers reared behind, and dozens of people quickly disappeared again.
The Lord's goal has been achieved.
The half of the enemies behind will carefully search for the sneak attacker, while the half of the enemies in the front have already charged quickly - this place is only a few miles away from Maixiangling and can be charged, probably because they will not cooperate if it is delayed any longer.
On to the White Deer Fort.
However, this also means that there are only less than half of the enemies that Mai Xiangling has to face at the same time.
But Li Ang did not leave this section, he was not satisfied with this result.
After leading the men to wait quietly for two minutes, he returned the same way through the woods, back to the road littered with corpses - the enemies in front had run away, and the enemies behind were still slowly searching the woods. This short stretch of road was now
Instead, there were only a few enemies left.
These people obviously did not expect that Li Ang would leave and come back, and ended up dying under a hail of arrows in an instant.
"Klose, take the archers and follow the enemies at the front!"
"They haven't had much rest, and they don't have enough physical strength to outrun you. Follow them and fire arrows. If they chase you, retreat. If they retreat, chase them."
Li Ang quickly explained the essence of guerrilla warfare. Klose nodded to express his understanding, but was a little confused: "Sir, what about you?"
Li Ang whistled to summon Alice, and then began to peel off the armor from the corpses of the knights on the ground. He answered again and again: "I want to deceive the people behind, you go quickly... Um, Summer, come and help me.
Wear armor!"
Klose obviously understood the Lord's intention. Although he was a little worried, he still obeyed the order and took the people away.
Summer and two people helped Li Ang drag the bodies of the three knights into the woods, and then looked out for the wind.
Alice also ran to Leon from the woods not far away. This smart little mare was not discovered by the enemy. She even knew how to avoid the crowd and wait until no one was around before running over.
Fortunately, the equipment of the knights was the same. With the help of two tough men, Li Ang spent five minutes piecing it together and finally put on a complete set of armor.
After wiping a handful of blood on his armor and rubbing it onto his face, the lord completed his transformation magnificently...
"Okay, take my equipment away... you go find Klose, you can't keep up with me on my horse."
Li Ang mounted his horse, gave an explanation, and then left the woods and started galloping towards the road behind.
"Retreat! The entire army retreats...everyone in front is dead! Follow me!"
Li Ang shouted as he ran.
Bandits gradually emerged from the woods, looking at the lonely knight with doubts in their eyes.
Li Ang ignored it and ran while shouting to gather, as if he was conveying instructions.
Gradually, some gangsters left the woods and followed Li Ang's horse, panting and eating ashes behind.
But Li Ang didn't just run back all the time. Occasionally he would run back and forth, as if he was calling everyone to retreat.
From time to time, he even encouraged: "Shou with me: the whole army retreats! Hurry, save the lives of our brothers!"
"Come! The whole army retreats!"
"The whole army retreats!"
Soon, a large group of people followed behind Li Ang, all of them running back panting and shouting to retreat.
Until another knight appeared - the one who just escaped from the great swordsmen and ran back.
This knight had lost his horse and was walking slowly, surrounded by dozens of infantrymen. It was obvious that he was the one directing the team to search the woods.
Seeing Li Ang running towards him on horseback shouting "Retreat", the knight didn't react at all: "What's going on! Why are you retreating!"
Li Ang did not stop and shouted: "The people in front are all dead! They are all dead! Retreat quickly!"
The knight felt something was wrong: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
After speaking, he drew his sword.
But the infantrymen beside him looked at each other, looking full of doubts - they did not realize that Li Ang was pretending.
Li Ang ignored him and still shouted loudly: "The whole army retreats! All the people in front are dead!"
Then he slowed down in front of the knight: "Run away! You will die! This is a trap! Let us die!"
The gangsters who had been following Li Ang just now were gradually running over, and they could already hear their voices shouting "Retreat...".
The nearby infantrymen also panicked, and one or two even started to run away.
The knight finally heard that something was wrong with Li Ang: "You bastard... you are..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Ang quickly raised his sword and chopped off his head.
Blood flew two meters high like a fountain.
The nearby infantry were unprepared and unresponsive, and they did not expect that the two knights would start fighting among themselves.
Li Ang shouted angrily: "This bastard! He still wants to trick us into dying!"
Then he shouted to the infantrymen next to him: "Run quickly! All the people in front are dead! The whole army retreats!"
After saying that, he drove his horse and left.
The unidentified gangsters behind them also happened to run by at this time, shouting "Retreat! Retreat!" as they ran.
It does look like a complete defeat...
So, except for a few infantrymen who looked puzzled, everyone else began to run back. Most of the enemies searching in the woods were called out by the bandits and began to run away.
At this time, Li Ang turned around again and rode towards Mai Xiangling, still shouting "All troops retreat!" as he ran.
Chapter completed!
