Chapter 11 III The Battle to Break the Siege
At the time of the incident, Leo was patrolling the armament. Due to the lack of food, the mood of the soldiers was quite low. At this moment came the news of Darla's return from the delivery of food, and Leo was of course happy about it, but it was not long before the news of the enemy's attack came, and the rear of the barracks was in chaos, but the messages came only in words.
"What the hell is going on! I need accurate information! Leo roared angrily as he lifted the herald's body.
The herald said in a trembling voice: "Yesγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» it's General Darla's grain delivery team, which is mixed with thieves and γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
"What did you say!" Leo's eyes widened as big as a peach. This means that Dara has defected. "Go and report to Lord Gernas!"
"Back to my lord, Lord Gurnas is at the scene of the accident, he was attacked by the thief army, and his life and death are currently unknown." Another herald replied.
Leo felt a dizziness in his head. Barely calming down, Leo hurriedly ordered the mobilization of two nearby thousand-man teams to stop it, and then ordered the surrounding eight thousand-man teams to immediately assemble and then launch a siege against the enemy.
The Yaki Army immediately began to move.
By this time, Muller and Lorencis had set fire to the Yaki barracks, while slashing and killing the fleeing Yaki soldiers, with the original intention of causing even more chaos. The two thousand-strong teams that rushed to the fastest speed were disrupted by their own deserters, and before they could adjust, they encountered an imposing thief army. Mueller's attack soon killed one of the thousands, and the situation became even more chaotic. At the critical moment, the follow-up 8,000 soldiers arrived in time, and the situation was stabilized.
Originally, Leo planned to go into battle himself, but he realized that he was already the only remaining general of the Yaggi Army, and he had to stand in the position of commanding the whole army in place of Gernus. Seeing that the 8,000 soldiers had finally stabilized the situation, Leo began to continue to mobilize the rest of his troops to prepare to encircle the bandit army. But at this moment, the soldiers behind him let out a frightened cry: "Look! Checkmate! The thieves are out of town! β
Leo hurriedly turned around, only to see the west gate of Essrath City wide open, and an army of thieves rushed out, led by the great sword man Xenus.
"Defend now! Don't let them come! Herald! Let the surrounding troops rush to support! Leo shouted. However, he knew in his heart that the main force in the west had been exhausted, and it was difficult to say whether he could hold it until reinforcements arrived. But this is not the worst of the disaster.
"My lord! The thief army at the north gate also attacked, and the leader was Li Tianhao! North Gate"
"The South Gate thieves are out of the city! My lord! Saw the banner of the thief leader Chail! β
Break through on all fronts? Leo felt overwhelmed. Commanding armies was not his forte, and the situation might have been completely different if Gurnus had been in battle, but how to deal with it now?
"My lord! Beiying is in an emergency, ask for support! β
"My lord, what should I do?"
"My lord, the enemy army has invaded the western camp!"
Leogu knew that he had to make a decision immediately, and even if it was wrong, it was better than nothing. At that moment he raised his tomahawk and shouted, "Come with me!" Kill Senas first! β
Leo doesn't know if this decision is the right one, and only hopes it's not the worst one. Riding on his horse, he saw the battle in the western camp, and at this time Xenas had successfully entered the western camp, galloping around to disperse the soldiers of the Yaki Army, who had lost their will to fight. Leo didn't say much, picked up the tomahawk and went forward, the most important thing now is to kill Xenas and stabilize the situation in the west.
In the face of Leo's desperate attack, Xenas fought back with all his might, and his mouth was still chattering: "I know that the master has come to collect your head, but you still have the courage to come out, it seems that you are a bloody person!" It's a pity that you don't have the strength to match it, come on, come on, show all your skills! It's too ugly, this kind of attack is not like it, have you ever studied martial arts well? β
Leo turned a deaf ear to this, and with the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, he concentrated his energy at this time and fully exerted his strength. Although Xenas said it easily, he still felt the pressure of Leo in his hands, and he also stepped up his offensive with vigor. After more than 30 rounds, Leo's strength was a cut behind after all, and he gradually couldn't resist it. Xenas found Leo's slight sluggishness to break through his defenses, Leo was slashed in the right arm by a sword, but fortunately he blocked it with a battle axe in time, and even so, the armor on his right arm was completely shattered, and the arm bone was suddenly shattered, and Leo's body was swept out directly. Leo rolled on the ground and got up, as Xenus's greatsword was pressed against his chest.
"You lost. It's not easy to hold on to this under my sword, so I don't want to use your head to receive the reward, how about going with me to see Li Tianhao? β
"Now that I am in command of the entire Yaki army, I can't let go of my responsibilities." Leo's eyes were very determined.
Hearing this, Xenas laughed: "Lord Leo, as a general, you are a respectable opponent, but as a general commanding the whole army, you have done a little worse. If you look at the current situation, whether you are in the command post or not, the chaos of the Yaki Army can no longer be stopped. Looking at your stubborn eyes, you know that your temper is as stubborn as your mind, let me help you. β
After saying that, Xenas struck it with his sword, and Leo fainted instantly. Then he instructed his subordinates: "Protect this prisoner." β
With that, Xenas urged his horse to break through into the Yaqui army again.
Tens of thousands of Yaqui armies lost their supreme commander in this way. Unknown soldiers wasted an unknown amount of time waiting for orders, while the Tierse rebels blossomed in all directions, interspersing and dividing the Yaki army at will, cutting the Yaki army into small units and destroying them. The fierce battle continued until dark, and the barely fighting Yaki army finally began to be unable to support it, and more and more soldiers fled, and finally evolved into a total collapse. The entire city of Eslas has become a purgatory ground for the Yaki army, full of desperate and defeated Yaki army soldiers, who have no time to escape either kneel down and surrender or be beheaded, and those who barely escape from the battlefield have to face the encirclement and interception of the Dils rebels. It was not until noon the next day that the Tyreans gave up the pursuit.
In this battle, more than 13,000 Yaji troops were killed, and more than 20,000 surrendered their weapons, and less than 3,000 escaped. The Tyres rebels also suffered more than 4,000 casualties.
