Chapter 889: The fish is dead and the net is broken?(1/3)
"Duke Piccolo, what should we do next!"
It is said that Duke Piccolo and others left 5,000 cavalry to block the attack, so they were not pursued again.
At this time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Upon seeing this, the leaders of the principalities all gathered around Duke Piccolo.
the reason is simple.
Because of today's battle, they lost too many cavalry.
The original agreement was to use a thunder strike and a half to crush the little noble Narant with an army of 100,000.
But no one would have thought that there was such a thunderous strike and there was such a crushing force.
But the two parties that were crushing were replaced by the little rural nobles crushing them.
Now, only a little over 60,000 of their 100,000-strong army are left.
In other words, including the cavalry responsible for intercepting the rear, they had lost less than half of their number.
If this was reported back to the Alliance, everyone would probably become a joke.
"That country boy is not simple. We all underestimated him. Now, we can only evacuate, otherwise the losses will be even greater if this continues."
In fact, Duke Piccolo was more unwilling than everyone else.
After all, the name of the coalition is headed by the Bach Empire. If people in the alliance are ridiculed, others will only remember the Bach Empire.
"Duke Piccolo, are we going to fight back next?"
"As for the counterattack, we can only see if that country boy will get carried away." Duke Piccolo thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
"Getting carried away?" All the commanders were a little puzzled.
"That's right, the biggest threat to us among that kid's team, and the one that caused our attack to fail, is the magic cannon!"
"So, if there is a magic cannon, then we may not be able to do anything against him!"
"However, the magic energy cannon has a shortcoming, that is, the magic energy cannon relies on the one-eyed troll for transportation."
"So, it cannot be as fast as a war horse."
"And if that kid gets carried away and keeps chasing us, but the magic cannon doesn't keep up, then we will counterattack and directly annihilate that kid's cavalry!"
Seeing everyone's confusion, Duke Bic immediately explained.
"So that's it!"
The chiefs of the principalities nodded.
"So, we will continue to retreat for a certain distance, and then take a temporary rest. Later, I will send the rangers to the rear to check the blocking situation and confirm whether the country boy is pursuing me!"
Duke Piccolo has prepared for the next two possibilities.
First, Nalant did not get carried away and let his subordinates advance rashly, so he had no choice but to retreat.
Secondly, if Nalant gets carried away and lets his subordinates escape the protection of the magic cannon, then he will fight back.
As for the third situation, how can there be a third situation?
"Your Majesty Duke, look behind you!"
But at this moment, a subordinate next to Duke Piccolo suddenly pointed to the back and warned.
"Um?"
Duke Piccolo and the coalition commanders looked behind in confusion upon hearing this, and then were stunned.
"Those are the Cods. Has that country boy stopped chasing?"
Soon, Duke Bic saw clearly the situation at the rear.
Hundreds of cavalry were seen rushing from behind, but when he saw the flags in the team and the face of the leading knight, Duke Piccolo became confused.
He left five thousand cavalry behind to break up the rear, and it stands to reason that he could hold off the enemy for at least twenty minutes.
After all, even if there were 5,000 pigs, it would take Nanalant twenty or thirty minutes to kill them, as long as there was no magic cannon bombardment.
But now, even in twenty minutes, several of his subordinate captains have returned. This is obviously unreasonable.
The only possibility is that Nalant has stopped chasing.
"Stop the team!"
Thinking of this, Duke Piccolo immediately stopped the team and wanted to ask what was going on.
tap!
tap!
Only three or four minutes later, hundreds of cavalrymen had arrived. Duke Piccolo did not wait for the opponent to stop and hurriedly asked: "What's going on? Has the enemy stopped pursuing?"
"My lord Duke, it's bad, the enemy has not stopped pursuing us, the enemy is not far behind us!"
The cavalry captain returned out of breath.
"What!"
Duke Bic's expression suddenly changed.
"Are you pigs? In less than twenty minutes, five thousand of you have been defeated!"
"Your Excellency, that country boy's magic cannon is really powerful..."
The subordinates were scolded, but they did not dare to refute anything and could only explain in a low voice.
His explanation made Duke Bic even more furious.
"Asshole, don't you know how to run? That magic energy cannon is so heavy that only a one-eyed troll can carry it."
"How fast can the one-eyed troll run? Can it be faster than your war horses?"
"Your Majesty the Duke, they..."
Boom!
The subordinate was left speechless by the question, and was about to continue explaining something when several roars suddenly came from behind.
This Hongmeng sound immediately interrupted everyone's words, and they all looked behind.
At this moment, the smoke and dust from the running of hundreds of Bach cavalry had been blown away by the wind, and the scene at the corner of the forest behind them also appeared in front of everyone.
I saw not only hundreds of Nalant's cavalry at the corner, but also more than twenty magic carriages in the middle of the cavalry.
Whoosh whoosh!
Just when everyone could clearly see the pursuers, more than ten purple light groups roared from the sky again.
"That's...not good, get out of here!"
Boom!
Boom!
The next moment, thirty of the magic energy shells fell directly into the crowd of Bach coalition troops.
Immediately, more than twenty Bach coalition cavalrymen were knocked upside down by the explosion.
"How can this be!"
All the Bach coalition troops couldn't figure out how the opponent's magic cannon could come so fast.
"Your Excellency, Narant installed the magic cannon on the magic carriage. Although the speed of the magic carriage is slower than that of horses, it will not be too slow!"
"When we were blocking the enemy, we were bombarded by these magic cannons and were defeated!"
At this time, the captain who had escaped felt a little bit lucky in his heart.
Fortunately, the appearance of this magic carriage gave him a chance to explain.
Otherwise, he is really worried that his Lord Duke will be beheaded on the spot in a fit of rage!
"Asshole, everyone, evacuate quickly, evacuate!"
Duke Piccolo felt dizzy. This was different from the two choices he had originally expected.
Now that the opponent's magic energy cannon is actually installed on the magic energy carriage, can they still escape?
