Chapter 563: The Third Attack (Third Update)
"Mingjin, collect the troops!"
In desperation, the Praetorian Guard general had to accept the fact that he had been defeated. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIf the order is not given, hundreds of soldiers will die on the battlefield. It was not a glorious sacrifice, but senseless bloodshed.
"General, the retreat of our army cannot be hasty. In order to prevent the cavalry of the Great Prince from pursuing, our army should slowly retreat. At the suggestion, the general led the army slowly, and the brothers of the 3,000-man team blocked the pursuing army for the general, and met the brothers of the 2,000-man team. "After watching the battle for so long, to be honest, Cao Chun also wanted to personally test the strength of those cold-blooded armies with double-bladed blades. However, Cao Chun obviously didn't have that chance.
"Thank you General Cao, but the task of blocking the enemy is still up to General Ben! It was still General Cao who led the army to retreat. Where is the lieutenant? The Praetorian Guard general shook his head and dismissed Cao Chun's suggestion. If General Ben dies in battle, all affairs in the camp will be left to General Cao. It is necessary to prohibit General Cao. ”
"Yes!"
King Dawan's Praetorian Guard is indeed the most elite army under King Dawan. It is one thing to be able to fight well, it is obvious to all that you are not afraid of death, and you are also meticulous in ordering and prohibiting.
"General Cao, don't say more. Withdraw! Cao Chun saw in the eyes of the Praetorian Guard general that there was no doubt. In desperation, Cao Chun had no choice but to say: "Wait for the general three miles away." If the general is unfortunately killed in battle, he will definitely slaughter 10,000 people to commemorate the general! ”
After the break, this is the most difficult task in a war. Basically, nine times out of ten, the army that has been tasked with the post-break mission will not be able to return. Unless the pursuing troops saw no hope and retreated on their own. But looking at the posture of the eldest prince now, it is impossible to retreat easily.
The Praetorian Guard general jumped off his horse and walked quickly to the front of the 3,000-man squad that was still in full array. In front of the Praetorian Guard general, the soldiers of the 2,000-man team, who had heard the order to withdraw, were running backwards with all their might. Behind them, there were a hundred more compatriots who spontaneously stayed behind to take on the task of blocking them. Every soldier of the 2,000th team who ran backwards had tears in their eyes, it was the brothers who fought for their chance to live, they couldn't waste it, they had to take revenge!
Closer, closer, three hundred steps, two hundred steps......
"Archer prepare!" The archers who had been lining up behind the 3,000-man squad did not all retreat, and under the order of the general of the Praetorian Guard, they left behind two hundred men to live and die with their compatriots!
Without any hesitation, the two hundred archers immediately bent their bows and arrows. "Goal, a hundred steps, ready!"
A hundred paces is already the maximum range of an archer. At this time, even the Praetorian Guard soldiers who were running at the forefront were still one hundred and twenty steps away from the large formation of the 3,000-man team!
The Praetorian General's right hand was raised high, and he was calculating the distance.
Suddenly, 'It's now!' "Put!"
Two hundred feathered arrows rose into the air at the same time, and after the extremely fast arrows missed the top of the parabola, they began to pierce the ground with great inertia and force.
Just when the soldiers of the 2,000-man squad at the front had just crossed the seventy-step distance, the arrow was missed!
"Brush, Brush, Brush......"
"Ah~Ah~Ah~"
Many people heard the screams of the men behind them and the wailing of the horses, but no one looked back. However, the general of the Praetorian Guard, who gave the order to release the arrows, ordered again with red eyes, "Release!" ”
Just now, forty or fifty of his own brothers and dozens of enemies fell screaming because of his own orders. It is he who deprives them of the opportunity to survive. However, if he doesn't do this, I'm afraid there will be more brothers who will die tragically!
At present, behind the retreating soldiers of the 2,000th Brigade, there was a vacuum nearly ten paces wide, where there was not a single object standing except for the missing arrows on the ground and the corpses stamped with the missing arrows. And this is the chance for most of his brothers to be alive created by the Praetorian Guard general!
The knights of the Great Prince were still charging, but the second wave of arrows from the Praetorian Guard soon arrived. Then another group of knights fell down screaming. This time, under the rain of arrows, there was no Praetorian Guard, and it was all the rebels of the Great Prince.
"Put!" A third wave of arrows rises into the air. However, this is also the last wave of arrows, because the galloping Si Ze and the enemy's cavalry have come closer!
"Knives!"
With the shouting of the general of the Praetorian Guard, a neat row, snow-white knives came out of the body.
"Fight!"
"Battle~!" After the three hundred soldiers burst into applause, they raised their swords and charged forward. They need to kill the enemies who are closely following them. In this way, we can win greater opportunities for our compatriots.
In the distance, the eldest prince quietly watched the retreat of the Praetorian Guard, and when the 3,000-man team acting as a blocker began to launch a counter-charge against the eldest prince's cavalry, the eldest prince suddenly sneered, "Withdraw it." The Praetorian Guard really lived up to its name. With such a tight wait, we will not be able to get any benefit. ”
"Yes!" General Qu, who was beside the eldest prince, responded and sounded the golden gong for retreat. Soon the crisp sound reached the battlefield. The army to which the eldest prince belonged turned their horses around and began to retreat slowly. And the general of the Praetorian Guard, who heard the sound of withdrawal on the opposite side, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Keep in formation and retreat slowly!" ”
"Yes!"
Now that the enemy has begun to retreat, there is no need for the Praetorian Guard general to stay here any longer.
"General Lan!" "Your Highness!" At the eldest prince's side, a burly general heard the eldest prince's call and immediately approached.
"The Janissaries have withdrawn. I'm afraid that the Praetorian Guard, who had just withdrawn to the main camp, would also be busy for a while. Moreover, His Highness heard from Shura, who returned last night, that the Praetorian Guard's battalion was very easy to defend. General Lan, are you interested in going around? ”
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Being able to lead Dawan's most elite Praetorian Guards into battle is the dream of every Dawan general. And now, General Lan has been given an opportunity to defeat the Praetorian Guard, how can he miss it.
"Your Highness gives all the cavalry to the general. I hope the general doesn't disappoint me! ”
The eldest prince had a total of 4,000 cavalry. At the beginning, there were 1,000 people in the large battalion on the front line, but those 1,000 people disappeared with men and horses, and now there are still 1,000 people returning from the battlefield, and General Lan can only use 2,000 cavalry. However, if the large battalion of the Praetorian Guard was defenseless, two thousand men would be enough.
However, when General Lan stepped on his war horse and was about to set off, the eldest prince suddenly said: "If you can't do anything, the general will withdraw immediately!" ”
"Yes!"
The eldest prince's attacks can be said to be wave after wave, and each attack can be said to be in the point of no recovery according to the plan of the eldest prince. However, during the attack on the camp last night, the eldest prince's plan was inadvertently destroyed by Cao Chun, and today's attack was also defeated by the cold arrows of the Praetorian Guard general. However, whether this third attack will work or not, the eldest prince is still quite sure.
This attack by the eldest prince and even his own father is imperative. In addition to the Praetorian Guard directly opposite him, there must be other armies. And if the eldest prince wants to have a chance to survive in this war, he can only defeat the Praetorian Guard in the shortest possible time. Only then will the eldest prince have enough energy to face the army from the Great Han!
