Chapter Seventy-Seven: Whoever Strikes the Enemy Must Be Saved

When Libera first heard the news of the initiative of the Dils army, he understood that his plan had gone bankrupt. Not to mention that the Dils army was heading straight for the temple of Ra, even if their attack was aimed at other regions, the king's army would not have the strength to resist the invasion of the other party. In a sense, it was the best scenario for the Dils to attack the temple of Ra, because there were at least 10,000 priestly troops stationed there, so that they would not fall immediately. Of course, Libera also knew very well that the goal of the Dilc army was not to capture the Temple of Lashen, but to disintegrate his troops and create an opportunity for Li Tianhao, but he was powerless to prevent this from happening.

When the generals of the Priests' Army offered to return to defend the temple at once, Libera agreed without saying a word, and his only request was that they should march day and night, and advance as stealthily as possible, in order to gain time for the retreat of the King's army—since the adventure had failed, it would be a success to keep the army back to Memphis as fully as possible, and it would also maintain His Majesty's prestige to a certain extent.

It's a pity that Libera's abacus fell through again, and the news of the departure of the priest army did not hide Li Tianhao, who had already spread his eyeliner.

Li Tianhao, who received the information, was overjoyed, and he immediately handed over the command of Port Maranster to Elda. As Elda had not yet been returned, two of Elda's lieutenants, Misheva and Corngil, were temporarily appointed. The Dils army left 3,000 men to help defend it, so that with Elda's army and Yaqui's troops, the number of troops in Port Maranster reached more than 8,000, which was enough to cope with Yaqui's current military attack.

But Li Tianhao made a big mistake here, because the revenge has been avenged. Port Maranster has lost its value to Li Tianhao, if it is really lost. As long as the dock is destroyed, the purpose of destroying the subunit and rebuilding the fleet can be achieved, plus it can be safely evacuated by sea. Therefore, Li Tianhao didn't particularly care about staying here, but the two commanders he left behind were both pirate leaders, and their ruthlessness and roughness were not suitable for staying behind. The dissatisfaction expressed by the 2,000 Yaqui soldiers with this treatment was misinterpreted as a mutiny, and in the end Misheva and Cornchill slaughtered all the 2,000 soldiers and threw them into the sea, leaving the harbor of Maranster littered with corpses. The Port Maranster massacre had a very bad impact on Li Tianhao, but of course that's a story for another time.

At that time, Li Tianhao gathered his troops and began the return journey with the grain and grass that had long been ready to stop. But the goal of his march was not to return the way he came, but to go straight to Memphis, the new capital of Yaqui!

Li Tianhao saw very clearly that the capital of Yaki was the emptiest time at the moment, and the priest army left. Libera will definitely not delay too long, he will definitely return to the army soon, if he can attack Memphis before his troops return to defense, it is entirely possible to capture the capital of Yaqui, even if the city is already prepared and cannot be captured, he can use his strength advantage to intercept Libera's army.

Li Tianhao's movements were soon learned by Libera, which made him break out in a cold sweat! If you can't get back to Memphis one step ahead of the enemy, then your troops may suffer heavy losses, and even the country may fall! At that moment, he decided to abandon his baggage and go all out to help the national capital.

If someone is in the air at this time overlooking the land of Yaki. Then he could see a strange sight: two large armies were rushing towards Memphis from two separate routes. Li Tianhao's advantage was that he had plenty of troops, so the route was the closest to Memphis, but the disadvantage was that his baggage and supplies slowed down the march; Libera was at a disadvantage in terms of troops, so he did not dare to make direct contact with Li Tianhao's army. He could neither block the way of the place, nor could he follow the attack, so he could only choose to abandon his baggage and make a detour. In order to rush to Memphis one step earlier than Li Tianhao.

The god of fate seemed to be deliberately playing tricks on both sides, and in the end, both sides rushed to Memphis almost at the same time!

After discovering the traces of the Yagi Army. Li Tianhao immediately sent Xenas to lead the troops to entangle. Libera ignored this and ordered the entire army to advance at full strength. He personally led a small team to stop Xenas.

After a few rounds of fighting, both sides knew that they had encountered a fierce enemy, and each used all their strength to deal with it, and the battle between the two outstanding warriors overshadowed the life-and-death struggle of the surrounding soldiers. The main general was evenly matched, and the disadvantage of the forces soon became apparent, and Libera's subordinates were soon unable to resist under the attack of the elite Diels army and began to retreat, Libera saw that the goal of delay had been achieved and stopped fighting, and left the battle with a sword and began to retreat.

Libera's resistance succeeded, but things didn't go his way. At this time, Li Tianhao led Muller, Eglius and Aram and a small number of cavalry guards to attack Libera's main team, although Zelda and Vultures were enough to deal with the Dils army in terms of command ability, but in terms of absolute combat ability, they could not stop the fierce attack of the strongest four people in the Dils army. Although Li Tianhao's assault force was less than 100 people, and they were surrounded by the Yaji Legion under the command of Vulture, but the Yaji Army did not see that anyone could survive in front of these four generals, and the soldiers who received this terrifying gap did not dare to approach the opponent again, so they could only keep a distance to encircle, or use bows and arrows to deal with the enemy.

However, as a result, the speed of the Yaji army was greatly delayed, and Li Tianhao's rear team had already covered up in a half-moon formation at this time, and Vulture saw that the situation was not good, and immediately chose to withdraw the army. It's a pity that the lack of training of the Yaji army was exposed at this time, and the inexperienced troops were confused in the process of withdrawing from the battle, and Li Tianhao seized the opportunity to stick to it in time, and nearly one-third of the Yaji army was encircled by the Diels army. Thanks to the calm judgment of Vulture, Zelda who wanted to go to the rescue was stopped in time, and resolutely abandoned this part of the soldiers and rushed back to Memphis City.

The unfortunate Yaqui army had no effective command and no experience in dealing with the situation, and soon collapsed, and was killed by more than seventy percent of the Diers' army in just one meal. Li Tianhao saw that the results of the battle were remarkable, and the Libera army had successfully entered Memphis, and there was no point in storming Memphis, so he immediately ordered the whole army to go south and return to Palchi bypassing the Temple of Ra.

Li Tianhao's return to the army this time has not been obstructed by the Yaji army, the frightened Cad Monroe strictly forbids Libera's army to leave Memphis again, and the priest army who returned to the temple has just driven away Hector's cavalry troops, and found that Li Tianhao's troops are coming from the north, where can they dare to leave the temple for half a step? As for Yaki's border guards, they were powerless to resist in the face of an army of this size, and could only watch Li Tianhao's army swagger back to the territory of Palchi.

Li Tianhao's military operation to attack Port Maranster came to an end. This operation itself can be said to have no strategic value, not even tactical value, but in the end it led to a very important result: Li Tianhao's army even threatened the capital of Yaki after capturing a port in Yaki, and then retreated with his whole body, coming and going like the wind, like a ghostly place, like entering a no-man's land, which fundamentally shook the confidence of the Yaki princes to continue to resist. Since this operation, almost all the princes in Yaqui have lost faith in the king, and the way out they have chosen is either to secretly hand Li Tianhao a surrender table, or to seek protection from Arubania.

Yaki's rule is on the verge of falling apart.

The year 800 of the Gregorian calendar kicked off, which was also the last year of Yaqui's reign. (To be continued.) )
