Because the members of the death camp were divided into groups to clean up the battlefield, all of Ming's troops temporarily stayed in place.
The wait was over an hour...
On the north wall of Robei City, North Road Commander Duke stood by the wall and looked into the distance, calm on the surface, but very anxious in his heart.
…The troops who were decoyed according to the time should also be back, why is there still no movement?…
So Duke turned his head and ordered, "Send a few empty birds to investigate..."
Suddenly five birds took off from the city and flew into the distance...
At this time, a middle-aged priest next to him had some realization and stepped forward: "Could it be that the news of our capture of Robei City was known to the other side, so they chose to retreat directly? After all, there are many Robeis
The city soldiers have fled, and they only need to stop one of them to know the current situation."
"What do you mean?" Duke turned around and asked.
"Attack directly with all your strength and capture them..." The middle-aged priest's palm turned into a knife and he swung it down hard.
Duke thought for a moment, without agreeing or refuting, he just said, "Let's wait and see what the situation is like on the front line first..."
Five birds, one purple-crowned sea eagle and four bald eagles, formed a human shape in the air and flew over the jungle and grassland to the sky above the battle.
Groups of silver-white scaled warriors were still lined up straight, with those scattered red-armored warriors behind them.
At this time, numerous corpses were piled together. Soldiers in red armor threw torches on top, and three fires were immediately ignited.
The scene seen in the eyes of several birds appeared in the eyes of the priests on the wall of Robe City, and then they began to report to Duke, the commander of the North Road.
"What? All the decoy troops were wiped out? Their combat power was actually so strong?" Duke's face was full of surprise, and then he felt heartbroken.
"More than 1,000 people are gone just like that? This is one-fifth of our military strength. I must kill them all."
The middle-aged priest also got the information at this time, so he added: "Sir, I think we should attack with all our troops. With our military strength, we will definitely be able to annihilate them all and avenge our colleagues."
Duke gritted his teeth and said: "You are right, attack directly, kill them all, leave no one alive, and let their blood be used to commemorate our 1,000 comrades..."
After saying that, Duke slapped the city wall with his right palm, smashing the bricks into pieces, but his face showed a look of pain, "I really shouldn't have agreed to the bait plan, otherwise we wouldn't have lost 1,000 comrades."
The middle-aged priest took a step forward and consoled him: "Sir, this is not your fault. It must be that the young priest was greedy for merit and wanted to defeat the opponent in one go. In the end, he fell into their trap and the whole army was annihilated.
"
After hearing what he said, Duke calmed down a little, "You are right, we must be more careful this time and not fall into their trap again."
"Yes, sir..."
Chang Yuchun watched from the team as each team finished cleaning up, and was about to return to the team. When he looked up, he saw five birds circling in the sky again.
"Blow them down, knock them all down for me, they make me dizzy." Chang Yuchun kept shouting.
Hua Rong ran over with his generals and guards. At this time, he was angry. He finally saw a mighty war horse, but was almost injured by it, so Hua Rong wanted to take it out on the birds in the sky.
When he came under them, he raised his musket and fired. After a burst of gunfire, dozens of bullets formed a dense array to cover the surroundings of the five birds, making it impossible for them to escape.
"Hey..."
After several cries, four bald eagles suddenly fell from the sky. Only the purple-crowned eagle was still flying reluctantly, but its body was already dripping with blood.
Compared with sea beasts and land beasts, birds have lower defenses, and their bodies are more air. This is so that they can fly better. However, there are exceptions for a few flying species, such as dragons.
Chimera…
The injured purple-crowned sea eagle turned over and flew back, blood dripping from its wounds.
"Beast, where are you going..." Hua Rong shouted angrily and chased after him with 40 generals and guards.
Chang Yuchun turned around and looked at Qin Feng helplessly, and saw that the latter just shrugged, looking helpless.
"Move forward..." Chang Yuchun waved his hand and had no choice but to command the troops to march quickly.
Hua Rong chased all the way ahead, but the purple-crowned sea eagle flew faster, and Hua Rong couldn't catch up for a while. However, when he saw the purple-crowned sea eagle spraying blood all the way, the frequency of vibrating its wings became lower and lower, and the speed became slower and slower.
, which also made Hua Rong unwilling to give up.
The war horse ran at high speed and broke into the jungle. Seeing the leaves above his head blocking the target, Hua Rong helplessly put down his gun and continued to follow until he passed through the jungle half an hour later. The purple-crowned sea eagle in the sky also suffered from excessive blood loss.
Then it slowed down, there was a burst of gunfire, and the purple-crowned sea eagle finally fell from the sky with a mournful cry.
"Haha, I told you to run..." Hua Rong laughed and put down the raised musket.
At this time, the general and guard beside him suddenly shouted: "General, look, it's the enemy..."
Hua Rong was reminded and turned around to look, and sure enough, a large number of enemy troops were running towards them, wearing white scale armor, breast shields on their chests, and half white cloaks on their backs.
He scanned the area carefully and found that they were basically infantry and their marching speed was not very fast, so he took advantage of this.
He turned to a general guard next to him and said: "Go and report to General Chang that I am blocking the attack here and ask him to send more cavalry over."
"Yes." The general and the guard left immediately.
"Follow me..." Hua Rong shouted, riding a war horse and pounced on the Qunyuzhou Island army.
Duke and the others also saw dozens of cavalry running towards them at this time, and sneered: "The victory has gone to their heads, and they actually sent dozens of cavalry to attack my team..."
"Let's give them a little color."
The last sentence was shouted at the team, so the rows of soldiers began to stop their progress. They raised their spears and shields and walked to the front. A large number of bows and arrows behind them lowered their heads, bent down to draw their bows, and let the shields and spears
The soldiers blocked their figures and prepared to give Hua Rong and the others a surprise.
A cruel smile appeared on Duke's lips, watching Hua Rong and the others stepping into his trap step by step. At this time, he had already imagined in his mind that Hua Rong and the others would be shot off their horses, and then the soldiers would swarm up and kill those who were not completely dead.
The soldiers then tortured him to death.
"Bang bang bang..."
Dozens of sounds that were very unfamiliar to Duke sounded, and then a light point barely visible to the naked eye flew out of Hua Rong's team and flew into his army. Then the soldiers in the front row suddenly screamed and then fell to the ground.
A large blank space was immediately revealed.
More than a dozen people were killed immediately, and more were injured on the ground.
Duke was confused, why is it so far away... He looked at the distance... at least 600 meters away...
This, the bow and arrow can't shoot... Duke was a little confused about the opponent's weapon. After looking carefully, it seemed to be an ultra-miniature magic crystal cannon with a long range and strong power.
"Pull up the magic crystal cannon..." Duke shouted, and the soldiers behind him quickly passed the order back.
At this time, Hua Rong and the others had already fired several rounds at the Qunyuzhou Island army. The soldiers in the front row were shot down several levels. They were still stubborn and refused to retreat. They also did not move forward without Duke's order.
Just stand there and draw fire.
Hua Rongle and the others did not move. After the soldiers in the front row fell, the archers behind were exposed. A shot of the gun shot directly through the archer who only wore leather armor. Sometimes one shot could kill two
Man, this makes the empty space in the formation larger.
"General, look at their carriage coming up..." the general guard who was always on the lookout reminded.
"Oh, is it a magic crystal cannon?" Hua Rong knew that magic crystal cannons in this world are usually mounted on carriages, but they are only limited to small magic crystal cannons. Medium-sized magic crystal cannons are too heavy and can easily be thrown out on a moving carriage.
, large magic crystal cannons can only be mounted on city walls and Sanzhi warships.
"Retreat to the jungle..." Hua Rong decisively left with the generals.
When Hua Rong and others completely disappeared in the jungle, the magic crystal cannon and carriage could only do nothing.
Duke gritted his teeth and said, "You guys can run fast..."
"keep going…"
The huge army continues to move forward. They will pass through the jungle so that they can meet the Ming army faster.
Duke's face turned livid as he watched the dead and injured soldiers being placed. He had just received casualty statistics. In the battle just now, 98 soldiers were killed and 232 were injured. The casualties were so high that he was not expecting it.
"A team of just a few dozen people could actually do this..." This made Duke's confidence begin to waver, and he began to suspect that the young priest was annihilated because the opponent's firepower was too strong.
"Sir, the other party wants to escape..." The middle-aged priest came to Duke's side, "The other party exposed their secret weapon. They want us to be afraid of their combat power. They want us to slow down and let their large force
We can retreat calmly, but we should seize the time to attack them and annihilate them in one fell swoop."
Duke, who was a little hesitant at first, felt that it was reasonable, otherwise they should send a large number of similar cavalry to attack instead of such a small force.
Well, that's right... They only have so many people with ultra-small magic crystal cannons... Duke came to a conclusion at once.
"Speed up and move forward, leaving behind none of those who killed our brothers..." Duke then roared. He would not let go of the enemy troops who were trying to escape after killing so many of their brothers.
"Blood debts must be paid with blood..."
The army from Qunyuzhou Island immediately accelerated its advance, with many soldiers running through the jungle.
A bunch of question marks appeared in Hua Rong's head hiding in the jungle... What's going on? Why did they suddenly speed up? Aren't they afraid that we might set up an ambush?
He turned around and looked at the empty area behind him, and couldn't help but sigh, "If I had known they were so easy to seduce, I would have brought all the cavalry over. Well, 1,080 cavalry, enough to surround them..."
"General, what should we do now?" the general guard beside him asked.
"One word, fight..." Hua Rong thought very simply. No matter how the other party changes, fight first and then talk...
Bang bang bang…
The sound of muskets sounded again in the jungle, arousing the screams of countless birds and humans.
"Keep moving, don't stop..." Duke saw the soldiers in the front row hiding behind trees to avoid the other party's shooting, but this also slowed down the marching speed. So he decided to let his demon pet, the eight-eyed white bear, take the other sacrifices.
