Chapter 1323 A small victory
"Hold on, be sure to hold on!"
The legion commanders were shouting loudly, asking their officers and soldiers to withstand the attack of the Alliance Army, but at this time, the formation had been broken, and the dagger soldiers had rushed into the formation and were in close combat with the soldiers of the Hays Empire.
The Hays Empire and this alliance army used daggers in a unified manner. This single weapon configuration was different. Their team was a synthetic army, including guns and shield soldiers, a single spearmen, swords and shield soldiers, etc., and heavy armored soldiers holding heavy weapons.
In other words, every legion of the Hays Empire has light infantry and heavy infantry, equipped with various weapons of different lengths, and a certain number of miscellaneous soldiers. This is the biggest difference between the Hays Empire and the Alliance Army.
All the Alliance Army were light infantry, and there were no such miscellaneous soldiers alone. In other words, many miscellaneous items were completed by themselves, while some of the miscellaneous items in the Hays Empire were responsible for special miscellaneous soldiers. So overall, although they were much stronger than the Alliance Army when the formation was carried out in a dignified battle, they would have to be much stronger than the Alliance Army. However, if they fought at this close range, such as now, the formation had been broken and the Alliance Army's short sword soldiers were already entangled with them, the soldiers of the Hays Empire would perform very differently.
The heavily armored infantry here can deal with several alliance troops, but the other soldiers are no match for the short sword soldiers at all. For example, the spear soldiers. In this chaotic scene, facing the close attack of the short sword soldiers, they can only throw the spear in their hands and dare not fight against the enemy at all.
Under such chaotic circumstances, there are still some soldiers who can deal with the attacks of the Alliance Army without any problems, but most soldiers are completely at the point of being beaten under the close attacks of the Alliance Army's dagger soldiers.
The army soon fell into chaos. Basically, the legion could no longer form a complete array. Everyone was fighting alone. At this time, the alliance army's military strength advantage emerged.
The size of these more than 100,000 people from the Hays Empire has rapidly shrunk, and most of the soldiers killed and injured on the battlefield are soldiers of the Hays Empire.
"Have you cleared the road yet?" Lang Qing asked anxiously.
"Sir, you can clean it up soon."
Lang Qing nodded. There was no other way in the current situation. He could only open the roadblock in front of him so that the army could rush over and join the team in front. He was still a little impatient in his heart.
You should know that if half of my subordinates are not able to meet with them in time, it will lead to the whole process of
If the army is wiped out, I may not be able to achieve a predetermined goal by relying solely on the remaining 200,000 troops.
Although he didn't know how many troops the alliance would send this time, he knew in his heart that he had a lot of information about the Liberty Alliance and had a long time ago that the other party could mobilize at least about 1.5 million elite soldiers at this time, and it was difficult to fight with them.
It would be fine if he didn't encounter an enemy halfway, but if he encountered an enemy, according to Lang Qing's previous estimate, the other party should have sent 500,000 troops and divided into two left and right teams to deal with his left and right teams, and then use 500,000 troops in the middle to deal with him.
This is the most likely thing. Lang Qing felt that he was in a difficult situation. There was a death-horse and the other party with one or five hundred thousand, which had an absolute advantage over 200,000. In this case, if you are not careful, your team may be wiped out.
"We must speed up!" Lang Qing said to his subordinate.
"Yes, sir."
Although his subordinates agreed well, it was not easy to speed up the speed. Soon another group of troops joined the team to clean up the stones. In fact, although this added a team of troops, it did not play a big role.
This is because this place where the stones are cleaned can only accommodate so many people. If there are many people, it will not be able to be expanded in this place. Under this situation, there is nothing to say, but fortunately, the stones have been almost completely cleaned up.
Amid the cheers, the blocked road was finally cleared, but before the cheers could spread even further, it ended again. This was because at this most critical moment, there was a loud roar in front of them, and a new stone fell from the top of the cliffs on both sides, and sealed the road in the canyon again.
Seeing this situation, everyone was stunned, and even the green face became extremely ugly. He did not count the opponent, but arranged someone to handle the cliffs on both sides of the canyon. It can be seen that the last spy team of his previous team should have been wiped out. The other party did not only arrange a little man and cut off his own path, but arranged a lot of man and completely blocked his team.
A situation like this is really unimaginable. Listening to the rumbling sound in front of him, it should be that the other party has not only cut off this place, but has cut off many places. If this road is opened up bit by bit, I don’t know when it will be time to wait.
After looking at the situation ahead, Lang Qing's face changed drastically, and he thought for a moment
Afterwards, an order was issued to let the army take a detour.
What?
Lang Qing's orders made all the officers' expressions change. Before sending troops, these officers had looked at the map and knew that this Iron Bucket Canyon was the only road that could be passed through.
If you want to detour, you have to go around the left and right army. However, if you survive there, you will think that the 200,000 army that entered the Iron Tube Canyon before will be really destroyed. In other words, this Lang Qing, after considering it, decided to completely give up the 200,000 army.
Under such circumstances, we should know that these generals of the Hays Empire fought together for many years and were very familiar with each other. Now, they suddenly had to abandon so many comrades in the hands of the enemy, and most of them were alive. This was a very difficult thing for these generals, soldiers and officers.
Lang Qing has been leading them for a long time, of course, knowing the situation, but the current situation is that if he is here and slowly opening the road, he may not be able to pass. It comes quickly and is very likely that after he opens the road with his remaining 200,000 horses, he will be waiting for them at the end of the canyon. It is better to join one of the other two soldiers.
"Listen to my orders, the whole army retreats!"
Lang Qing issued an order resolutely, so although the soldiers below were a little reluctant to do so, since Lang Qing issued this order, there was nothing to say and they all evacuated immediately.
Under such circumstances, Lang Qing led the remaining 200,000 troops and left the Iron Barrel Canyon. At this moment, at the other end of the Iron Barrel Canyon, the 200,000 troops who walked out of the Iron Barrel Canyon in advance were only 50,000 or 60,000 troops left, and they were still struggling hard. Judging from their appearance, it was only a short time to be defeated.
"Report to the leader, our spies found that half of the enemy's remaining troops had detoured." The officer under his command of visiting relatives reported to the leader.
The leader nodded and signaled that he knew. He didn't expect that the other party's general would be so straightforward. He was hoping to hold the other party for a while, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so straightforward and gave up the 200,000 troops under his command and left directly.
Since that's the case, the leader felt that he had nothing to be polite. Looking at the battlefield ahead, he said to his subordinates, "Quickly deal with these enemy troops, and then we go straight to another place and deal with another enemy's troops."
Chapter completed!
