Chapter 233: Ambush

Lu Bu gasped heavily, covering the wound on the head of the red rabbit horse in distress, no matter how strong he was, it was impossible to kill an army of thousands of people in an instant. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

This is already the third time to break out of the encirclement, as strong as Lu Bu also suffered some minor injuries in the melee, people's strength is limited after all, and the unlimited swing of weapons makes Lu Bu tired.

"That's, Zhao Yun?" Lu Bu noticed the defeated English army surging from the direction of Chen Xiaochu's main formation, as well as the White Horse Followers who were following behind them.

"General Lu." A white horse servant who came on a fast horse searched for Lu Bu's figure, and immediately drove the horses with all his might, shouting loudly: "General Lu, the lord has an order to let the Bingzhou army change its attack method, attack and harass the enemy's main position, and withdraw the order to attack." ā€

"Huh?" As the White Horse Yicong approached, Lu Bu found that this enemy army formation, which he had not been able to defeat, began to slowly retreat, and many capable foot soldiers emerged from it, forming a broken army formation, and continued to fight with the Bingzhou army.

"Broken troops? The enemy really wants to escape, I know, you go ahead and inform General Pei. Lu Bu looked around the battlefield and found that Chen Xiaochu's military formation did not move, and immediately understood what Chen Xiaochu meant. Let the opponent think that he can retreat safely, so that he can slowly and little by little eliminate the opponent, if the whole army is pressed during the pursuit, and the English army, which still retains some strength, knows that it cannot retreat, it will resist desperately, in that case, even if it wins, the number of casualties will be an unacceptable range.

"Save yourself and destroy the enemy, this is the real victory." Pei Yuanqing also received the message conveyed by Bai Ma Yicong, and after defeating the longbow ranks, he led the remaining Xuanjia cavalry to withdraw from the grappling.

"Hmph, are you still defeated after all?" Looking at Colby's distorted face, reluctantly giving the order to retreat, a masked soldier hidden in the chaos laughed mockingly.

The short figure was unremarkable, and as the most important assassin of Tyne Lord Kelly, Stina was ordered to lurk in Colby's military formation.

It was not an easy task for an army of several thousand men to retreat, and with the sometimes chaotic and disorderly scenes, most of them began to withdraw from the battlefield.

The broken army is a clone, so Calby is not worried that they will escape, and how to return to Kuro City with as many replicant troops as possible is the most important thing for him to consider.

"Dead, all dead!?" During the retreat, Colby looked at the floating screen, the reinforcement information was blank, and finally regretted it in his heart.

"Heavenly Father, what exactly have I done wrong, why did I suffer such a fate, why did you not grant me victory, why those heretics can be victorious." In remorse, Colby looked at the huge "Heavenly Palace" in the sky, and confusion welled up in his eyes.

The pursuing army did not chase after it, but focused on eliminating the broken army, which made Calby breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, without the reinforcements, Colby's binding force on the army has directly dropped by a level, and can only restrain some of the core armies, and some of the other ragged armies have begun to flee in other directions, especially some knights, after encountering such a defeat, have abandoned Colby in their hearts, many of them themselves are composed of Colby using interests to tempt the wandering knights on the territory of other lords, seeing that Colby's general trend has gone, they have made up their minds to defect to other English city lords.

I don't know how long the retreat lasted, Colby looked back, his marching team had pulled out a long line, but at this moment Colby had no choice but to order as much as possible to urge the team to speed up the withdrawal, and the white horse in the rear appeared sporadically from time to time, shooting the English soldiers who tried to stay and gather to the ground.

The broken team can temporarily block the iron cavalry of the Bingzhou army, but if you turn around and fight with Baima Yicong at this moment, you will immediately be in danger of being entangled by Chen Xiaochu's army. Colby didn't want to take such a risk.

"If you go further this way, you will be able to get close to the mining area, where there is one of the largest fortresses I have built, and the army will be repaired there to preserve the strength to the maximum." Colby immediately judged the best plan and commanded the troops, who could still receive orders, to move in the direction of the mines.

Along the way, they passed through several small villages, but the soldiers under Colby's command were different from the previous ones, and they were in a hurry to retreat at the moment, and they no longer had the heart to hunt down these French villagers.

As the sky began to turn dark, and as the sun set, Colby felt a puff of taste on his horse, took out his water bottle and hurriedly took a sip, and looked again at the rear of the marching procession, where the pursuing enemy had somehow lost his trace, as if he had no intention of pursuing. But at this moment, the team of Corby's corporal marches is more scattered, many people have discarded their shields and weapons, and there are very few people holding flags, only the guards around Colby have always upheld military discipline and have not abandoned everything in their hands, but at this moment their mental state is a little sluggish.

"This is the village of Turmo." A small village appeared in front of the team, looking at the torches on the stone tower, Colby relaxed his doubts slightly, although he ordered the garrison stationed in the fortress of the mining area to be transferred to three hundred soldiers, but the garrison of the stone tower in each village did not move, these people still exist, which means that their rule still exists, after all, this mining area is inhabited by thousands of replicants, they are all defeated generals of the League of Civilizations of England, they are trophies, they are the objects of permanent enslavement by themselves, and there is no army control at all, But it's going to be messy.

"Send someone over and inform them to contact the mining area, and let the captain of the garrison who stayed in the fortress mining area bring all the troops to meet the city lord."

Colby gave an order to one of the guards, and soon a knight on a war horse immediately drove out of the march, approaching the stone tower in the center of the village.

The house obscured the back of the guard, and Colby stared for a moment, and suddenly felt a hint of strangeness, "What's going on?" Why hasn't the order been conveyed yet? ā€

No soldiers stood on the stone tower, and even the sound of horses' hooves disappeared when the guards entered the village.

"It's too quiet, even if these French pariahs are afraid of me, it is impossible that there is no one in the village, you guys, go in and have a look." Colby felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he didn't want to think in the worst direction, and ordered several guards to continue into the village to check.

The guards did not dare to disobey the order, and drove the war horse to the entrance of the village.

"What's that?" Colby suddenly noticed a man with a torch on one of the roofs of the village, and then immediately afterwards there were also torches on several adjacent rooftops, which were very dazzling even when the sky was dark.

"There are enemy troops."

"Enemy attack! Ahh

A flag that Colby regarded as a taboo was erected from the stone tower, and Colby recognized the pattern of the wide flag, the flamboyant iris heraldic pattern, which had disappeared from the land for a time, but at this moment, the appearance of this flag directly stung Colby's eyes.

"Damn French pariahs, if you dare to rebel under this banner, I will punish you severely, and the leader of the rebellion must be caught and hanged, and he must be hanged in the mines." Colby shouted that the army was concentrated, ready to form a battle formation, and enter the village to suppress it.

At this moment, a succession of torches appeared from the woods around the village, accompanied by a burst of shouts of killing, and a dense crowd of people poured out of the woods and pounced on the unformed Calby army.

And at the front of the charging procession, Emily stared at the place where the flags had gathered, led the charging team, and shouted, "Expelle them, expel the shackles!" Save the Holy Woman, save France! ā€
