Chapter 572: Can't Retreat
Timely rain, what timely rain. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe current Ding Chong is a timely rain for the besieged Praetorian Guards.
Although Ding Chong and his 5,000 cavalry had arrived at the battlefield after a long journey, and they were equally exhausted, all the living Praetorian Guards now felt full of strength. In the battle circle, Ding Chong used the long knife in his hand as the edge, and the three thousand cavalry took Ding Chong as the front. The galloping war horse ruthlessly smashed through the encirclement of the eldest prince, and the sharp war knife harvested one life after another. If the battle continues, it is only a matter of time before Ding Chong, Cao Chun and the Praetorian Guard general converge, and as long as the men and horses of both sides converge, the battle will be considered to be over.
On the other hand, when General Quan led 2,000 cavalry to rush towards the eldest prince, General Qu, who commanded the cavalry of the eldest prince, also took his cavalry to rescue the eldest prince at the first time.
Although General Qu and the eldest prince were not very happy to see because of Shura's affairs before, this did not prevent General Qu from being loyal to the eldest prince. And now the cavalry of the Praetorian Guard has arrived, and it has also divided into two lines. What happened next, it basically didn't take much thought to see, the Praetorian Guard was easy to get out of trouble, and the soldiers who surrounded the Praetorian Guard were almost unsaved. Moreover, there is also a huge crisis on the side of the eldest prince. Compared with the two, which is more important and which is lighter, the superior judgment is made. And General Qu's decision is also very correct. Whether it is to save the soldier or the eldest prince, there is no doubt that it is the latter.
For General Qu's support, General Quan naturally saw it in his eyes. However, according to the current speed of the two sides, I am afraid that after General Quan has just rushed into the large formation in front of the eldest prince, General Qu will arrive and cut off the rear road of General Quan and the two thousand cavalry.
Now the general has two choices, the first is to divide a part of the men and horses to block General Qu's approach, and the rest of the men and horses are still attacking the eldest prince; The second way is to kill General Qu and his cavalry first, and then go to the eldest prince. According to Ding Chong's meaning, General Quan should choose the second one, but General Quan is a more cautious general. His personality is relatively stable, so General Quan rarely does anything more risky. So, now General Quan is a little uncertain about paying attention. However, between the lightning and flint, General Quan remembered a sentence, a sentence that Ding Chong once said, 'The general will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected'.
"Turn around and crush the enemy!" General Quan gave the order, and after two thousand knights crossed a graceful arc, the front of the army was aimed at General Qu who rushed to the rescue!
āāāā
"Your Highness, let's withdraw!" At the back of the battlefield, the eldest prince, who was already under layers of protection, heard the dissuasion of the people around him. "Your Highness, while General Qu and General Lan are blocking the enemy, we will return to Karma and have a chance to make a comeback!"
Fall back? It's a good idea to do that.
The total strength of the eldest prince this time was more than 15,000 people, of which only about 3,000 were cavalry. And now these 3,000 cavalry have been blocked by the whole general, 2,000, and 7,000 people are struggling in that chaotic battle circle. Today, there are only 5,000 people at the side of the eldest prince. Four thousand infantry, one thousand cavalry!
And in the northernmost part of the battlefield, after Ding Chong and the encircled Praetorian Guards converged, the 7,000 troops belonging to the eldest prince would definitely not be able to stop the attack of the Praetorian Guards, so sooner or later they would attack the eldest prince's main formation.
Therefore, the eldest prince can choose to retreat. However, if the eldest prince retreated, 5,000 men would be stationed in Karma again, and it would be impossible to stop the next attack of the Praetorian Guard. Therefore, the eldest prince can only retreat. And if the eldest prince's heart is more vicious, and the water source in the Karma oasis is adjusted, then the eldest prince can directly take the position of King Dawan.
However, instead of being rewarded by the eldest prince, those who proposed the retreat were slapped in the face.
"At the moment of the great enemy, when the battle is due, how can you say retreat! Come! Behead this enemy stealer and strengthen the hearts of our army! ā
Poor fellow, just because of a word, he lost his life. Moreover, it is still a different place!
After a scream, a round head was hung on the military flag of the eldest prince, and the eldest prince drew his war knife, "Attack!" Defeat the enemy cavalry! ā
With the words of the eldest prince, the last thousand cavalry of the eldest prince urged the war horses with their swords.
In fact, the eldest prince is not the only way to retreat. As long as the eldest prince can deal with the general and the 2,000 cavalry under his command, it will not be difficult to block the Praetorian Guard in the north.
Although the morale of the Praetorian Guards is high now, and although the Praetorian Guards have burst out with strong combat effectiveness, they are tired, and they are still very tired. This is an indisputable fact. And the premise of all this is that everything can be in time.
The eldest prince was able to defeat the general before the Janissaries arrived, and then re-positioned himself and waited for the Praetorian Guards to attack!
"Kill~!"
After a burst of cheers, General Quan and General Qu met. The two knights, who were supposed to be Zoze, began a fight.
A knight wields a scimitar and kills an enemy soldier, but while he is mourning for the soldier who is supposed to be a brother, an identical scimitar cuts his back. With a scream, he fell off his horse and came face to face with the enemy soldier who had died at his hands.
He saw himself in his eyes, a face stained with fear and blood. Just as he realized that this was his face, a scimitar that fell from the sky stood in front of his nose, and then the sharp blade split the still startled head in half!
But in the next second, countless heavy horses' hooves collapsed the head that no one recognized, into porridge, and moistened the earth!
āāāā
On the other side, Ding Chong finally led his cavalry to kill through layers of enemy troops, and finally joined the besieged Praetorian Guard.
"General, it's too late to come down!" Ding Chong did not dismount. Because, "General Ding, without further ado, please open the way in front, and my army will fight with the general to break out of the encirclement!" ā
The top priority is to rush out first. What fighters and military feats, they have always stayed in the encirclement of the enemy, and there is nothing but death. Moreover, whether it is the general of the Praetorian Guard, Cao Chun or Ding Chong, they all know that in their current state, they are already very lucky to be able to kill it, and if they still want any military exploits, it is just a matter of thinking.
And Ding Chong asked General Quan to attack the eldest prince's home formation in order to make the eldest prince's command system chaotic, so as to rescue the surrounded brothers in one fell swoop. Now, more than half of this goal has been achieved!
Ding Chong became the blade again, only this time Ding Chong was no longer just the blade of the cavalry, but the blade of the entire Praetorian Guard. Ding Chong's task now is to make a path for the exhausted Praetorian Guards, a road that can survive!
"Kill!"
General Qu had already led the cavalry to support the eldest prince, and the rest of the infantry was commanded by General Lan, who was on the battlefield. And thanks to the presence of General Lan, the eldest prince's army has not yet collapsed.
And General Lan also saw the Praetorian Guard cavalry divided into two ways, so if he insisted on it for a little more, the crisis on the eldest prince's side would be alleviated.
So, he can't retreat!
