Chapter 163: The North and South Intercepts and Charges
The distance between Dukou Camp and Dukou City is not too far, but because they broke camp overnight, it was already late at night when the army entered Dukou City.
Relying on the military camps in the city, it is definitely impossible to accommodate hundreds of thousands of troops. More than half of the Green Demon soldiers can only rest in the open air.
Naturally, there was inevitably a chorus of lamentations and complaints.
At this time, the Green Demon soldiers were suffering from hunger and cold, and their morale was demoralized, which is a perfect description.
Kaman carefully arranged the city gate defenses, and then dragged his exhausted body back to the military camp to rest. He had not been on the battlefield for nearly ten years, and Kaman was somewhat unaccustomed to it.
Even if you don't want to accept old age, when the family was rising, no matter how difficult the battle was, it was not so energy-consuming.
Many green demons couldn't sleep, worried that the humans would cause trouble again, but the result was good, the humans did not continue to invade at all.
After struggling for most of the night, early the next morning, the green demon soldiers who had slept soundly woke up to the smell of meat.
How great are the expectations, how great are the disappointments.
The imagined reward of meat was not there, it was the human race who was eating meat again. After struggling all night, the army has not even started making food yet.
In fact, this was also a special order from Kaman. He wanted the soldiers to rest for a while and postpone the time of making food.
I just didn't expect that the human race would use this dirty trick again.
Damn the human race, what kind of meat is cooked with, and why is it so fragrant? Kaman cursed in his heart, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Resisting the urge to lead his troops out of the city for a killing spree, Kaman immediately ordered the pot to be cooked.
Our own soldiers are currently at rock bottom in all aspects. If they go out to fight, even if they win, it will be meaningless.
Xidu County's neighbor is Nanwan County, and Dukou City is the closest city to Nanwan County. It takes two days to travel smoothly.
When the army's food supply is reduced by half, it can only last for two days. If the human invasion is taken into account, the food supply may have to be divided into three days.
After eating porridge and gambling cakes to barely satisfy their hunger, Kaman issued an order to withdraw.
Since we have decided to retreat, we must move quickly. Once we run out of food, the situation will become even more unfavorable.
Thomas Northen led more than 8,000 green demon knights to take charge of the rear. The green demon army came out from the east gate of Fukou City and began to retreat.
Watching the Green Demon army evacuate Dukou City, Zhang He immediately ordered the beacon fire to be lit to deliver the message to Generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
The riverbanks and mountains where the Qinglong Army and the White Tiger Army hide are located on both sides of Xidu City.
When the smoke rose in Dahe City, the cavalry scouts released by the two armies immediately reported back.
The soldiers of both armies, who had been hiding for two days and were almost exhausted, suddenly became eager to fight. It was finally their turn to take action!
"Soldiers! Follow me to defeat the enemy army! Show off the power of my great Han Dynasty! -" Yan Liang led the Qinglong Army and rushed out of the river beach, shouting loudly.
"Show me the might of a great man!——"
"Show me the might of a great man!——"
…
"The Han Dynasty is making a name for itself today! Soldiers! Do you want to fight to the death? -" Wen Chou came out of the mountains, pointed his gun into the distance, glanced at the soldiers of the White Tiger Army, and shouted sharply.
"war!--"
"war!--"
…
The Lance family army withdrew. Zhang He immediately sent troops to take over the ferry city. At the same time, he sent the Greedy Wolf Army to follow the Lance family army. He also led the infantry troops to hang behind the Lance family army, maintaining a distance of about twenty miles.
distance.
Finding the human race hanging behind the main army, Thomas immediately drove his horse to catch up with Kaman, who was in the middle army.
"Fifth Elder, the human race is determined to hold on, do you want to launch a counterattack?" Thomas said with some worry.
"Don't worry about them for the time being. We will retreat to Nanwan County. It is not appropriate for the army to get entangled at this time." Kaman decisively objected. The enemy's situation had already been reported by the scouts.
In an absolutely safe position, the enemy will definitely be able to react accordingly before his own army changes formation. With only more than 8,000 Green Demon knights, Kaman really doesn't have much confidence in his heart.
Last night, Northen led five thousand green demon knights to fight against five thousand enemy knights, but they were defeated miserably.
Regardless of strategy or strength, defeat is defeat. There is no guarantee this time that the enemy will not use other conspiracies and tricks.
As long as the army maintains its formation, in the wilderness, if the enemy dares to attack the formation, it will make them unable to return. There is a difference between retreat and defeat.
If Thomas takes the initiative to attack, if he loses the battle, it will affect the morale of the army and lead to the collapse of hundreds of thousands of troops, and the problem will be huge.
When the enemy attacks, no matter how great the damage is, as long as the enemy can be driven back, the worst is a miserable victory. Victory is always better than defeat.
Thomas didn't say much. As a tribesman with a foreign surname, he always chose to obey orders.
Back in the formation, Thomas sent out detective cavalry to closely monitor the movements of the human pursuers.
The army moved forward for half a day, and the human infantry unit had reduced the distance between the two armies to ten miles.
"Does the human race really dare to charge into the battle?" Thomas frowned deeply when he heard the scout coming to report.
Although our own army suffered more than 30,000 losses, it still numbered 110,000 men and more than 8,000 knights.
In field battles, the intimidation of high-level units will be greatly reduced.
"The human race shouldn't be so stupid, right?" Northam said in disbelief.
This battle was able to force the family's army back, and the human race had achieved a remarkable victory.
"Noson, according to the intelligence, the human race has 35,000 troops?" Thomas suddenly thought of something.
"What do you mean? There is an ambush? But even if there are ten thousand more soldiers, it can't change the situation of the battle." Northam understood what Thomas meant.
The senior family officials have also studied this issue, and they all agree that the human soldiers who have not come forward are stationed in Dahe City.
"A mere human race is so difficult to deal with." Thomas felt a headache.
However, I agree with Northen's words. Even if there are ten thousand more soldiers to intercept, it will only cause more casualties to the army and will not damage the foundation.
There are more than two million Green Demon clan members in the Lance family territory, and the loss of tens of thousands of soldiers can be made up for by a single recruitment order.
In the evening, the army marched to Xidu City, but Kaman had no intention of staying overnight.
Just as he was thinking about whether to stop the advance of the army and take a short rest, Kaman vaguely heard the sound of a large number of horse hooves coming from a distance, and immediately raised his hand to stop the advance of the army.
Not long after, a group of thousands of human knights rushed from the north of Xidu City. It was Yan Liang's Qinglong Army!
"Enemy attack! -" Kaman gathered his fighting spirit and roared wildly.
When did the human race run to the front of the army? At this time, Kaman still thought that this human race knight was the one that attacked at night last night.
But soon, Kaman discovered that something was wrong. From the south of West City, another human knights group rushed out, numbering in the thousands.
When the two armies are combined, there are already tens of thousands of human knights!
"Quickly call Thomas for reinforcements!" Carman immediately asked his attendants to inform Thomas at the rear.
The army stretched for several miles. Since the Green Dragon Army and the White Tiger Army came from the north and south, Thomas from the rear could see it, but he was unable to send troops to support it.
Because the human infantry has been pressed several miles away!
Human Race! Sure enough, they had planned it in advance!
"Big man!——"
…
"Big man!——"
…
With the blessing of Yan Liang's Shura Soul and Wen Chou's Rakshasa Soul, both the Green Dragon Army and the White Tiger Army roared wildly, and with the force of thunder, they directly inserted into the left and right sides of the Lance family army.
"Damn it! Stop them!" Kaman yelled and led his guards to the left to support them.
Carmon also led the troops to the left to provide support.
"Han County, Yan Liang, General of the Eastern Left Conquest, is here, the enemy will die!——" Yan Liang shouted loudly, and he rose into the sky from his horse, and his true form of Shura was instantly activated.
"Shura Judgment Slash!——" The hundred-meter sword locked onto Kaman and slashed out.
"Damn it! God's protection!——" The threat of death made Kaman's soul go crazy. Without thinking, he immediately activated his fighting spirit and inspired a scroll.
A seven-colored light shield with a diameter of more than ten square meters enveloped Kaman and the surrounding soldiers.
"boom"
The hundred-meter sword struck the seven-colored light shield. In an instant, the seven-colored light shield was filled with cracks and exploded.
"Impossible!" Kaman exclaimed and quickly used his fighting spirit to resist.
God's Protection! This is a defensive method that can withstand a holy-level blow! Kaman spent a lot of money to get it, and now it was defeated by a single blow!
The sword light that Yan Liang slashed was blocked by the colorful light shield. Although the light shield was broken, the power was greatly reduced, but it could not kill Kaman on the spot.
With just one strike, Kaman was blasted into the ground, creating an eye-catching chasm.
Yan Liang was like a god descending from the earth, seriously injuring his own general with a single blow. The green demons were so horrified that they retreated one after another, not daring to touch the edge lightly.
Under the leadership of Yan Liang, the Qinglong Army directly tore the left side of the Green Demon army apart. The routed Green Demon soldiers dispersed crazily towards the right side of the army.
At this time, Wen Chou also led the White Tiger Army to attack from the right.
"The true form of Rakshasa!——"
Wen Chou was not to be outdone and burst out with all his strength.
"Rakshasa Violent Spear!——" Wen Chou flew up in the air and stabbed Kameng who was coming with his troops.
Kamon's heart skipped a beat as he was charging forward. When he looked up, he saw a 100-meter-long spear blasting towards him. Kameng immediately gathered his fighting spirit to resist it, but with his strength, how could he possibly block Wen Chou's full blast.
The gun light collided with the fighting spirit, and a dazzling light burst out. With Kamen as the center, the diameter of 100 meters was instantly reduced to nothingness.
"Soldiers! Anyone who offends our mighty Han Dynasty will be killed without mercy!" Wen Chou raised his gun and shouted with a successful attack. Suddenly, the White Tiger Army rushed into the enemy's right flank with momentum like a rainbow.
The Green Dragon Army and the White Tiger Army rushed north and south, cutting off the hundreds of thousands of Green Demon Clan troops. Behind the army, Gao Lan commanded the Xuanwu Army, approaching step by step.
Thomas took a look at the situation of the army, weighed the pros and cons, and indeed led the knights to withdraw towards the Chinese army.
"There are four title levels! God is going to destroy our Lance family!" After being rescued from the pit by a group of extraordinary silver-level green demons, Kaman spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Fifth Elder! The enemy force is strong, follow us and retreat quickly!"
Karon was seriously injured, and the command of the army was handed over to Kaman. At this time, Kaman was also seriously injured, and the command of the army was taken over by a group of extraordinary green demons of the silver rank.
In such a battle situation, all gold-level extraordinary beings were instantly killed with one blow. How dare they take the lead? They just wanted to evacuate this place as soon as possible.
Being able to preserve the Third Elder and the Fifth Elder is considered a great achievement. As for the army of hundreds of thousands, it is a pity, but how can a group of untouchables have their own lives important?
