#1080 withdrawal
Not long after walking forward, Varad's team came to the unmoved Karen Kingdom army. He shouted: "Go and let them retreat together! I'm afraid I can't stand it here!"
The subordinates ran over and came back soon: "Sir, they said... they have a way."
Varad didn't say anything anymore. There were indeed many novel things in the Kingdom of Karen. Now the war is developing in a completely unfamiliar direction. Many things can no longer be judged by previous experience. The situation is critical now, and he can't even protect his own army, let alone think about what this group of people are going to do. So Varad led the team directly to cover his army's retreat, and at the same time let the archers work hard to attack the monsters rushing over.
The result of the failure of the impact was not unacceptable, because Varad had a way to embellish it in later reports. However, as the enemies rushed towards him quickly, Varad's expression changed slightly: "Use swamp technique! Stop them!"
More than a dozen mages accompanying the army immediately released "swamp technique" toward the ground a hundred meters ahead. However, before the enemy could rush into this area, two "groundhog" chariots had already aimed at the large targets in front - because the enemy had entered within two hundred meters of distance, and at such a distance, the scene of the mutant monster being torn by shells while running was extremely terrifying. Even because of flat shooting, a shell was pierced through two or three.
The soldiers of Karen Kingdom held shields waiting for the enemy's attack, but the rush of the monsters became slower and slower. In the end, it was obvious that the opponent did not intend to "take advantage of the victory and pursue", but only allowed the crazy monsters to continue to rush forward. The other main soldiers gradually stopped under the control of the supervision team and the horn and shrank back.
Two "groundhogs" have fired nearly a hundred shells in succession. Now the barrels are emitting white smoke under the action of the cooling array. There are only thirty or forty monsters in front of the Karen Kingdom position, and they are obviously exhausted. Before they can contact the first row of soldiers, they were knocked to the ground on the spot by the "crystal gun" of the infantry division at a close distance.
When attacking Charles II before, the cavalry team had armed a very primitive "crystal spear", but it was basically used for one-time equipment. Now the ace troops of the Karen Kingdom have begun to install some spears with "crystal energy" arrays as thrust, shooting metal bullets processed by molds. With sufficient process accuracy, single-fire shooting can be carried out without the shells and stuff like gunpowder. And because the diameter of the warhead exceeds 12mm, its power is amazing at about 100 meters.
These monsters were beaten on the spot and were covered with holes. After falling to the ground, they quickly became mummies.
From beginning to end, the infantry division's troops did not move a step, and the enemy did not continue to attack. After this attack, the offensive and defensive sides paid the price of more than 3,000 casualties, and the combat area was extremely tragic, but for both sides, it was not considered a tragic injury.
Facing such an enemy who could transform at any time, Varard obviously did not dare to take risks. After contacting the command center, the Karen infantry team also decided to start retreating, and returned to Lasha City with Varard's team one after another.
In the military camp, Yudora, who described her embarrassment, changed into a long robe. At this time, she looked at the distance with lingering fear and ordered: "Treat the wounded! Smooth the army, we... prepare to withdraw."
The shelling just now almost hit Yudora. The splashed pieces cut her abdomen, and a powerful aide was bombarded in two pieces on the spot. Blood splattered the commander, scaring the other aides around her to death.
But the withdrawal of troops at this time was not because Yudora was afraid of continuing to be bombarded, but because she knew very well that her army had no offensive ability at all.
Originally, Yudora's biggest killer was "group demonization", but to put it bluntly, this method was to let the soldiers be used as disposable cannon fodder - using it once or twice can withstand the pressure. After too much, no matter how stupid they were, they would understand that this "demonization" was a way to die. Who would still be willing to serve themselves?
This is also the main reason why the Tuk tribe did not drive its own army to fight: these troops collected by various countries were used to pile up for consumption and sacrifice!
However, at this time, Yudora must ensure that the current army will not mutiny. There are enough troops and supplies in the rear. Retreat to defend the other side of the Ram River, and there is no problem confronting these troops in Lasha City.
"The supervisory team carefully collects the bodies and must not let the troops of other countries realize the problem. They told them that this was a symptom caused by magical techniques after overdrawing. Those who have no wounds on their bodies must also get the wounds and deal with them as soon as possible..."
After she said this, she sat on the wooden chair she had just moved in with a pale face. She looked at the city of Lasha in the distance and said, "The unit attacking with long-range weapons seems to be completely different from Lassiman's troops. I want to know where these people came from."
"Yes, Lord Priest!"
After the two sides temporarily entered the truce period, Varad, who entered the city, finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he actually regretted even more why he had not assembled the army in advance before - if he chose to go out of the city to pursue him directly when shelling the enemy, the deserters who were chased might even directly storm his positions... This battle may have ended early.
But there is no if in this world. Now he can only accept the result of the army losing more than 1,300 people.
"Go and ask General Soderol, and ask him what military action will be there for him-if any, tell him I will do my best to cooperate."
At this point, Varad had to give in... After witnessing the power of the "Groundhog" tanks at close range on the battlefield, he deeply realized that the way of war would inevitably change because of these strange war machines. Now Varad only wants to follow the troops in Soderol to fight a few more laps, pick up more heads, and it is also good for others to eat meat and get some soup by themselves.
But Soderol didn't give him this choice at all, and the soldiers brought back only one sentence: "In addition to the regular main combat troops guarding the city, Rasimman can put the withdrawal plan on the agenda."
Varard was completely stunned: "Retreat? What does it mean?"
My subordinates were stammering for a long time and couldn't tell the reason, but this doubt did not last long - not long after, the transport plane that had flew out back roared back and soon entered a new transportation mission.
In the afternoon of the same day, the road from the airport to Lasha City was built with the overnight efforts of the Anderson Mage and the Karen Engineering Company. A team of fully armed soldiers and four smaller armored vehicles, which also had gun barrels, began to drive into the city.
Obviously, the addition of an additional transport aircraft will further improve the efficiency and capacity of transoceanic transportation. The military transfer plan, which might have taken one month to complete, can now be completed in another week.
Chapter completed!
