The surrounding areas were completely dark, with only the torches held by the guards tearing through the dark night and illuminating every inch.
In the dark and deep night, it seems like a beast that wants to devour you will pounce on you at any time and swallow you in one bite.
Panic spread among the guards.
"The Thule people must be ambushing us."
"Retreat, this is the main battlefield of the Thule people, we are in danger."
"It's too frustrating to die like this. Let's withdraw."
There were whispers among the guards.
Su Lu waved the steel knife in his hand, emboldening himself and raising his voice: "Take the bodies of Li Fugen and others, let's go back."
The noisy discussions among the guards stopped instantly. Long-term training made them understand that it doesn't matter if they don't know what to do next, they can just follow the order.
Soon, the guards moved. Under the command of the captain, the military formation moved forward. The sword and shield men rushed in and raised their shields to defend against possible enemy attacks. The guards in the inner circle raised Li Fugen and his group of guards.
The corpse of the army.
The spear in Su Ping's hand shook, and he pulled out a circle of gunfire. His voice was like thunder: "Retreat, Brigade A goes first, Brigade B takes the rear, and people from Group C follow me."
Su Lu controlled the battle formation and retreated slowly according to the formation of the turtle shell formation. The withdrawal could not be chaotic, otherwise if the enemy launched an attack, it would immediately lead to a rout.
The guards retreated slowly.
In the shadows, the newly returned bandits from Erlong Mountain formed a large circle and ambush the guards in the middle from a distance.
Behind several Tule people, the Blood Lion crushed the stone in his hand and angrily asked Li Guozhi, who was also crawling next to him:
"Second brother, why didn't the Tule people issue an order to attack? This is a good opportunity for revenge. The guards are in the light, and I'm waiting in the dark."
Li Guozhi looked at the slowly retreating guards with an equally ugly look on his face:
"The Guards' formation is weird, and if they attack rashly, we may not have a chance of winning."
"And it's dark now. The guards can't see it, and we can't see it either. If we fight, it will be the same to the guards as to us."
The blood lion's face darkened, and he hammered the ground heavily:
"I originally thought that the Thule masters would come and take revenge, but I didn't expect that I would still have to hold back. I'm really going crazy."
Next to him, Bald Xie also made a loud noise:
"Brother is right. Not long ago, we slashed at the guards and killed whoever we wanted. It was such a joyful life, but what a miserable life we are living now."
General Thule, who was lying beside the official road watching the guards retreat, turned his head, his eyes seemed to pierce the dark night, and glanced at the Blood Lion and Xie Baldzi who were talking, a sinister smile flashed across his sinister face.
"Captain Blood Lion, I give you permission to lead your troops and horses to attack the Han Dynasty guards."
The blood lion's expression changed, but he still let out a roar in his throat, jumped up, and swung his sword:
"Brothers, follow me. The opportunity to kill the guards and take revenge has come."
Xie Baldzi also jumped up, shouted, and caught up with the blood lion in front. The bandits got up one after another and pounced on the retreating guards.
"An enemy is attacking."
"Stop the retreat, put down the corpses, throw out the torches, everyone obeys the order, the rear team becomes the front team, the spear formation retreats, and the sword and shield soldiers move forward."
Su Lu stopped the retreat without hesitation. Retreating while carrying the enemy's attack was not a retreat, it would soon turn into a rout.
With the bonus of level 2 military cards and the bonus of level 1 battle array cards, Su Lu has full confidence in repelling this incoming group of Thule people.
I hope there won’t be too many Thule people coming.
Before Su Lu could stop thinking, the sound of spear heads piercing flesh and blood could be heard on the battlefield.
The bandits at the front ran into the spear array and were instantly pierced into bloody gourds.
"Forward protrusion"
Su Lu issued a military order, and at the same time, he swung his sword and slashed at a black-faced knife-wielding bandit.
"Click"
The knife hit the black-faced bandit's arm. The black-faced bandit couldn't hold the knife and immediately abandoned the knife and retreated, disappearing into the darkness and disappearing.
The black-faced bandit dodged, and the attacking enemies disappeared one after another, leaving behind a pile of corpses and dull footsteps, and disappeared into the dark night.
"Stop"
Su Lu stopped the formation that wanted to advance forward.
It was pitch dark all around. If we ventured ahead, we were afraid that we would fall into the enemy's trap. Now it was pitch dark all around us. As long as we didn't rush in, the Thule people would have nothing to do with us.
"Continue to retreat, and the front line will change into the back line."
Su Lu gave instructions, turned around and retreated slowly.
In the dark night, the Blood Lion retreated in embarrassment. He was stabbed on the shoulder and the blood flowed uncontrollably.
Thinking of the bravery of the guard general just now, the blood lion felt a lingering fear in his heart. When did the guard have such a good hand, and the sword was fast and fierce.
"Mader, why did the Guards suddenly have so many good soldiers? The spearman who blocked my sword reacted quickly, and the Guards general who was attacked by me reacted even faster. He almost killed me with a backhand knife."
Li Guozhi was panting, and he was also covered in paint. He had been stabbed by at least three spears in the encounter just now. The guards were becoming more and more skillful in their cooperation.
"Brother, this guard is not simple. The Beiyang City Patrol Camp is led by a general named Su Lu. They are very powerful."
"After this man arrived in Beiyang, the combat power of the patrol battalion changed rapidly. He defeated Taohuashan and Yiniugou successively. In the battle of Yiniugou, he wiped out all the auxiliary troops sent by the Right Chariot to contact the Han Dynasty.
, even the great sergeant who led the team failed to escape."
"Yes, this guard captain is really powerful. I have studied him for a while. Every time I lead troops, his strength has improved. This time I still underestimated him."
General Thule stood up from the side of the official road, a distorted light flashing on his face, as if a hungry snake had seen a fat frog.
"General Mo Chu, if you were willing to take action just now, you would definitely be able to keep this Su Lu."
Xie Tuzi spoke next to him, his face full of flattery, which was in sharp contrast to his rough and dark face.
Mo Chu was unmoved. He just looked at Su Lu's back and ordered:
"Withdraw, we can't keep him this time. The dark night will be beneficial to them. Wait until tomorrow morning to defeat them in one fell swoop."
…
Su Lu retreated very quickly. Without much effort, Battalion B retreated to the place where the stronghold was established.
The peasants have also been called up and are busy giving water to the pack horses and packing the carts, as if they are ready to set off at any time.
Su Lu pointed at the busy people and ordered:
"All the packhorses and carts have been put down, and the grain carts have formed a circular formation to defend themselves. There will be a fierce battle tomorrow. You guys have a good rest tonight."
Su Lu had an intuition that today was just a test attack by Thule. Because the wind was high and the sky was dark, a decisive battle would only benefit the side with a small number of people and a neat battle formation. No general with any knowledge would do such a thing.
The guards all lay down, and the ashamed Han Shang was sent out by Su Lu with a dozen scouts to ambush on both sides of the official road within five kilometers to prevent the enemy from launching a sudden attack.
Su Lu sat down next to the fire, told Little Niba to go to sleep, turned the fire aside, and let the flames burn.
Today's posture is a bit weird. The people I am facing should not only be bandits, but also Thule people. If the bandits in Erlong Mountain are like the black-faced bandits I face, even if there is a battle formation bonus tomorrow, the patrol will
The city camp cannot win either.
Yuanyang Formation Card
In front of Su Lu, a new card suddenly appeared:
Level 2 Yuanyang array military array card, +1
Immediately afterwards, new cards appeared one after another.
