Chapter 21 II Sacrifice

It goes back five days.

Woolley and Jimda managed to escape Sigith's attack and retreat to their makeshift positions on the hill, and they were able to breathe a little. With this vantage point, the Yaqui Army's offensive began to become difficult. Woolley and Jimda made frequent sorties to relieve the divided and surrounded friendly forces, and finally the two armies were at a stalemate. Woolley and Jimda suffered a big loss, losing nearly 900 men, but they managed to save 1,100 men. Sigis only has about 2,000 men under his command, and he only has the advantage of sneak attacks, but now it is too thin to surround Woolley and Jimda. The situation between the two sides is that no one can eat anyone, but it will be quite difficult for Woolley and them to get rid of the entanglement of this sub-base army.

At dawn, Woolley spoke, "We will not be able to get rid of this Yaki army if we continue like this, and if they call in reinforcements, we will be in danger of being wiped out." In this way, we will not be able to accomplish our goal of solidarity with the city of Essrath and disrupting the enemy army. Jimda, I'll take five hundred men to entangle them, and you take the rest of the people to hurry away before dawn! ”

"No! If you only keep 500 men, isn't that tantamount to pushing you into the mouth of the Yaki Army? If you want to stay, I should stay! ”

Woolley's eyes widened in anger and he roared, "I'm a few years older than you!" And this time the commander is me! Do you dare not listen to my orders? Besides, you dare to underestimate my strength, do you think I will really be eaten by that small subunit army? Some of you are worried about my side, so let's think about how to help Lord Muller defend Essrath City, if they make any mistakes. Look how I clean you brat! ”

Now that Woolley had said that, Jimda couldn't object any more. Jimda laughed dryly and said, "Good! Then let's decide, when we meet again, whoever doesn't finish what he does will lose a drink! ”

"Then it's decided! Let's go! Woolley said. With five hundred men, he launched a counter-assault on Sigis's troops. Sigis was obviously taken aback by this unconstrained move, and finally adjusted his situation in a hectic situation, taking advantage of this opportunity Jimda to lead the team to surprise and break out of the gap in Sigis formation.

As soon as Sigis saw that he was on the way, he hurriedly organized his forces to pursue, but Woolley desperately blocked the front, and in the end Jimda successfully escaped from the entanglement of the Yaqui army and escaped into the vast mountains.

In the past few days, Jimda has been afraid that there will be other interceptors in the Yaki Army, so he can only make a detour in the mountain road. I don't know how much precious time was lost. But Jimda's approach proved to be the right one. The two Yaqui armies that Mueller saw were retreating from the unsuccessful attempt to intercept Jimda.

While recounting the situation on his side, Jimda briefly bandaged Muller, who recovered a lot after drinking a few sips of water, he wiped his mouth and said: "It's useless to say anything else now, it's important to break through quickly!" ”

Jimda nodded, and once again ran to the front of the line to open the way, while Muller stayed at the end of the line.

In the face of this sudden arrival of hundreds of enemies, the Yaji Army also readjusted its strategy and began to organize troops to surround it layer by layer. Jimda's men shielded the wings. There are two brave generals in the front and back to protect them, and they kill all the way outside.

Seeing that the bows and swords were not effective against the shield array, Yaji's army quickly organized an assault team composed entirely of war hammers and battle axes to attack, and the shield could not withstand the slashing of heavy weapons and shattered. Gaps began to appear in the formation and the situation began to change.

The battle situation became more and more chaotic, and the broken shield was accompanied by human arm bones and flesh. The hammer then smashed into the helmet, bursting brains splattering everywhere. Screams and belligerent shouts were incessant. Jimda's subordinates are all brave warriors, but the fatigue of the days is combined with the disadvantage of numbers. Facing the new force of Yaki with a tomahawk and a hammer in their hands, they gradually couldn't parry, and after the shield array was torn to pieces, it was no longer possible to maintain the original spindle formation, and the sharp reduction in personnel made the formation more and more thin, and Mueller, who sensed the danger, immediately adjusted the staffing, but the degree of sharp reduction in the number of subordinates surprised him - the original force of more than 400 people had been sharply reduced to more than 100!

Fortunately, by this time it was completely dark, and the possibility of getting rid of the enemy at night was greatly increased. Unfortunately, the lineup of the Yaqui army was too solid, and Muller and Jimda had to pay the price of blood and lives for every step forward, and they fought until late at night and never managed to stand out from the enemy's heavy encirclement. Faced with the situation that there were only more than 30 people left, Mueller gasped and said: "The other party's command and linkage are too close, and our movements are completely controlled by the enemy, which means that we will fight hard against them every time we arrange the tightest defensive line, but fortunately, it is very close to the mountains now, let's escape into the mountains as soon as possible and take advantage of the night to get rid of the pursuit of the enemy army." ”

"You're right, is your body still holding up?" At this moment, Jimda's injuries were no less than those of Muller, and he didn't bother to treat the wounds when he was covered in blood.

Mueller looked at him and smiled bitterly: "I see that you are all shaky, you should worry about yourself instead of worrying about me." ”

"Rest assured, I won't fall until I win that meal back from Woolley."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then each waved the weapon in his hand and launched another onslaught. Step by step, the mountain was already close at hand, soon, fast, when Muller stepped on the mountain, he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart, but when he looked back, he found that he was the only one here, and Jimda and a dozen other people were still surrounded by groups behind, and Muller had to turn around and kill him when he saw this. I don't know how long the battle lasted, and when he dragged Jimda and his only two men into the mountains, Jimda was so tired that he could barely hold the knife in his hand.

Muller carried Jimda to fight the Yaki army while marching forward, but fortunately, the woods in the mountains and the steep mountain roads made it much easier than fighting on the plains. At this moment, the spear pierced Jimda's thigh, and Jimda's body fell down as soon as he skewed. Mueller hurriedly returned his hand and stabbed the Yaki soldier who had caught up, only to find that the two men had been killed in battle, and there was no one to cover behind them.

"Mueller, I'm not going to do it, you can go quickly."

Mueller dragged him up: "What nonsense! Who is the person who swore and bragged just now! Do you want to make yourself the laughing stock of the Tylesian rebels? I'll carry you away! ”

"Let's go! Otherwise, you won't survive! "Jimda is going to push Mueller away.

"Come less! You saved me when I couldn't hold it anymore, would I have abandoned you? Mueller couldn't help but carry Jimda on his back and slash as he walked forward.

Jimda smiled slightly, and at the same time spat out a trace of blood from his mouth: "I can't see that you can talk quite well, we all think you are a stuffy gourd man." ”

Jimda's eyes closed as she spoke.

"Stupid! Don't fall asleep! Wake up! ”

Jimda opened his eyes again and smiled, "So you're a very noisy person." ”

Mueller gritted his teeth and continued to fight and walk until it was dark. Gradually, there were fewer and fewer pursuers, and the last one was gone. Muller felt like his lungs were going to explode, he gasped for air, and when he looked back at Jimda, he had passed out on his back. Mueller called Jimda's name as he swayed forward.

Suddenly, Mueller seemed to feel something, and when he looked up sharply, he saw thousands of Yaki troops standing neatly in front of him!

The first general, with his hair and beard almost white, looked very old, but his majestic body made it clear at a glance that this person had been a terrifying warrior. I saw the veteran slowly speak: "Down there is Ulysses, the general of Yaki." Young man, you have fought so hard, and if you can lay down your arms and submit to me, I will certainly give you courtesy worthy of your courageous deeds. (To be continued......)
