After thanking Wood, he stood up and looked at everyone and said:
"Everyone listen to the order, Shi Long, Sal, Mark, and Paul. The four of you are now taking over all command positions within the legion. You must assemble the legion before dawn. Andy and Martin, you two are responsible for the evacuation of all the wounded and ensure that
As long as no wounded person is left behind, Laura, you now start contacting reinforcements from outside the city, and we will work together inside and outside to break out."
"Yes." Everyone answered in unison.
Then Wood looked at the commander of the Fire City garrison and said:
"Sir, please help organize the people. We must ensure our retreat before dawn."
The commander of the Fire City garrison bowed and saluted, while a noble beside him said hurriedly:
"What about me?"
Everyone looked at him. The person who spoke was a noble cultivator from Galen City. His strength was at the earth level, but this person was of no use in Wood's eyes. Wood said casually:
"Just follow His Majesty and protect his safety."
The man said unconvinced:
"I am the commander of the Clark Family Legion in Galen City. I have been participating in battles before. Why don't you let me participate in the battle now?"
Wood glared at him and said:
"If you want to join the ranks of commanders, then learn tactics first!"
The noble said angrily:
"I have wanted to join the army since I was born. My family takes pride in defending the Magic Empire. Why do you look down on me?"
As soon as he said this to me, Sal flew up from behind and kicked him in the leg. A cold dagger was placed on his neck. Sal said in a cold tone:
"Under imperial military orders, anyone who questions the commander will be killed without mercy! Anyone who disobeys the command will be killed without mercy! Anyone who resists military orders will be killed without mercy!"
And Wood looked at him coldly and said:
"Your family is gone. If it weren't for them, you wouldn't be alive. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will order you to be killed."
After Wood said this, Sal withdrew the dagger, then kicked the man next to Palu, and said "trash" in the air!
Then Wood went out with everyone, and only Sir Ma and a series of people who followed Palu were left in the military tent. At this time, Palu was completely dumbfounded. He finally realized that he had made a mistake. It turned out that he did not obey his subordinates.
, after he gave the order, those people always asked him why. But after seeing it today, although Wood's method was a bit iron-blooded, it was very effective.
The man knelt in front of Palu and said:
"Your Majesty, they are so presumptuous in front of you. They don't take you seriously at all. Wood and others cannot be trusted, Your Majesty!"
Sir Ma sighed and said:
"Hey, you are really stubborn. It's not enough to kill one Gonzalez. Now you want to kill the last hope of the empire."
Palu was actually thinking about whether Wood and others were trustworthy, but when he heard what Sir Ma said, Palu frowned, stood up after a moment, kicked the noble, and said:
"I have handed over all the military power to Wood, and you still dare to disobey military orders. Next time, I will kill you without Wood dealing with you!"
Palu said this just to tell Sir Ma and others that he is different from his father, but no emperor likes a subordinate who is more far-sighted than himself. In the Chinese world, the end of the most accomplished masters is miserable.
, this also alluded to the ruthless side of the emperor, and of course this incident also planted seeds in Palu's heart.
After Wood and others went out, they began to busy taking care of the wounded. Until the moment before dawn, the legion was finally assembled. The current legion was composed entirely of wounded soldiers. There were only 70,000 people left in the whole legion.
Fifty thousand people were seriously injured, and the remaining 20,000 people had more or less minor injuries.
Fortunately, the medicine that Wood brought from the Mysterious City was enough, otherwise Wood would not have known how to rescue these wounded soldiers.
The early morning sunlight is very gentle, but in the desert, this early morning sunlight emits a different kind of heat. The Gangze soldiers in the desert are very tired at this time. They have persisted in the desert for so many days. Although the water source is limited, in such a situation
Under the tense battle situation, every Gangze soldier was tense, but in the morning, they were all very tired, and now some soldiers actually fell asleep while standing guard.
The west gate of Sand City slowly opened, and a large number of people quietly walked out of Sand City. Wood and his friends were among them. However, if these tens of thousands of people wanted to leave as quickly as possible, it would probably take some time. At this time, everyone
They were all very nervous. The guards of Gangze in the distance did not react at all, but this also caused a lot of pressure on everyone.
Wood looked into the distance vigilantly through blocking the crossbow. Gangze's army did not find them at this time, which made Wood even more anxious. If they were discovered at this time, they would definitely lose some people. What Wood lacks most now is men and horses, losing one
We can't afford to lose one Wood.
At the same time, there were two high-level cultivators above Shacheng. They looked at Shacheng below with evil smiles, and one of them said in a mocking tone:
"The envoy is really amazing. Palu actually broke through in the morning, hahaha! Fortunately, we were well prepared."
Another person said:
"Yes, if I can't make such an accurate judgment, I don't see how Palu will resist this time!"
Just after all the wounded soldiers in Sand City came out, Wood ordered:
"charge!"
At this moment, the soldiers coming out of Shacheng began to charge towards the center of the west. After the Gangze army was awakened by the sound of the charge, they blew the attack horn in panic. At this time, the entire Gangze surrounding army began to be disrupted, but the rear of the Gangze surrounding army
Suddenly there is confusion.
The strong men of the sect brought by Wood also began to attack at this moment, and a gap suddenly appeared in the Gangze surrounding army on the west side. Wood commanded to fight against it, and the two armies instantly began to fight.
Wood wielded the sword like a living god of fire. Wood's attacks always killed many Gangze soldiers, leaving large areas of broken limbs and broken arms wherever they passed.
When the army broke through the gap in Gangze's siege, the Shacheng behind them had already been occupied by Gangze. However, Wood and others had no intention of going back. After the two groups merged, Wood ordered to continue to escape to the west, and he and the sect
Everyone stayed behind.
The soldiers surrounding Gangze's legion were not very strong, most of them were at the bronze level. It was not very difficult for Wood and others to stop them from pursuing them. They fought and retreated, but Gangze's legion seemed to be invincible, and people kept attacking towards them.
Attack here.
At this time, starting from the breakout circle, the corpses of Gangze soldiers were everywhere in the desert, and these corpses were stretched for several miles. This shows what kind of order the Gangze soldiers received.
When it was noon, the Gunze soldiers finally stopped chasing. Wood and others also caught up with the wounded soldiers. Under such a tense escape, everyone was exhausted. At this time, even Palu
No exception.
Seeing that the legion finally escaped from the siege, Wood ordered the legion to rest, and Palu asked in confusion:
"Why should we rest? Although we have escaped the siege, the crisis has not been resolved yet. Now is not the time to rest!"
Wood shook his head and said:
"No, I don't think so. Don't you think it was too easy for us to escape?"
Then Wood began to draw something on the sand and said:
"This is Sand City. This is the current location of our legion. This is their reinforcements. This is the legion attacking Fire City. No! They want to encircle us in the desert. So this is it. They actually want to annihilate us?"
Palu asked in confusion:
"What do you mean?"
Wood explained:
"The army that attacked Fire City was just a pretense. They had no intention of attacking at all. They always avoided our attacks in the desert and induced us to go to Sand City. When we arrived, it was just the time for reinforcements to arrive, so we could only stay in the desert
We are fighting in China, and with more than 500,000 of them encircling us, we are likely to be completely annihilated."
Palu said nervously:
"Then what do we do?"
Wood looked at the map on the desert for a long time, and then said:
"They must think that we are escaping to Huo City, so why don't we? We will flee to the northwest. In this way, their troops attacking Huo City will not be able to join forces to encircle and suppress us. They can only pursue us from behind. As long as we escape near the Jishi Mountains,
I can defeat Gang Ze."
After Wood finished speaking, he stood up and said:
"The whole army listens to the order, we retreat to the northwest!"
