Chapter 92 I. Withdrawal of troops in front of the enemy
Zelda sensed that Muller's combat effect was weak, but he was gradually moving forward step by step, and now the only way for his side to survive was to drive the Palchi army out of the gate and repair it as soon as possible. At the moment, I can only fight on my own.
If it was seven years ago, then Muller could easily defeat Zelda, but in the past seven years, Zelda, who is bent on revenge, has never relaxed his practice, and now he is in a narrow corridor, so even Muller is not so easy to take Zelda, without Muller's help, the attack speed of the Palchi army has stagnated.
Although Muller had the upper hand, it was always difficult to beat Zelda. This may have been a trick of fate, but it was on this occasion that Müller and Zelda met, because the last thing Palch wanted to kill Zelda was Müller. Seven years ago, if it weren't for Zelda's father Ulysses, Muller would have died in battle, and later when Prince Bard of Palchi rebelled, it was because of the help of Ulysses' eldest son Qusay that Muller was able to escape from the enemy. Muller is naturally grateful for the kindness of this family, and because of this, Muller always struggles to kill Zelda when facing Zelda, who is full of hatred for Palci, which has become a fatal mistake in today's battle.
While Müller was still fighting inside the tunnel, a dramatic change occurred outside the fortress of Baroud - Arubanian soldiers attacked the Palchi army.
The news of the battle of the Arubanian fleet with the Palci fleet at sea soon reached the ears of the garrison of the former Baroud fortress. Nearly two thousand soldiers, on orders from Adlem, returned to the place where they were a day's journey from the fortress of Baroud. For the past few days, they had watched as the Palchi army launched an assault on the fortress of Baroud, but because they had no order, they could only watch as the friendly forces in the city were besieged and fought bitterly. Today, when they learned that their fleet had exchanged fire with the Palci, the war sentiment that had accumulated over the past few days could no longer be stopped—anyway, Hengzhi had already torn his face with the Palchi, so how could he not save his comrades in the fortress?
If it weren't for the fact that their station was still some distance from the fortress, I am afraid that they would have arrived at the battlefield long ago. The reason why Li Tianhao stepped up his attack was to prevent this from happening, but it still happened. Li Tianhao had to personally lead the troops to the interception, which also effectively reduced the investment in the follow-up forces of the fortress attack, and what was worse than this was the psychological shock of the arrival of the enemy's reinforcements to the besieging troops. At the moment when they received the news, even ordinary soldiers knew that the operation was already dangerous, and that the hope of victory was very slim.
Li Tianhao led his subordinates to volley the enemy several times his size, and he used his swordsmanship to teach the Arubanians a good lesson. For the first time, the Arubanian soldiers learned the power of this enemy general, who had been rumored to be in the past. His sword tumbled up and down like a soul-sucking snake, sucking their lives as he swam back and forth among the Arubanian soldiers with his inscrutable footwork.
When the fifth centurion fell under Li Tianhao's sword, the Arubaneians finally wavered a little.
"Demons! It's a demon! He's not human! "For the soldiers who couldn't hurt Li Tianhao no matter how hard they tried, this person's existence was too terrifying.
Seeing that the morale of the other party began to waver, Li Tianhao did not relax, and commanded the troops to start attacking the weakness of the opponent's formation, and now the fear of the Arubanian soldiers became a tool to help Li Tianhao disintegrate the opponent's formation, and the originally invulnerable formation finally had a major flaw, and from this moment on, the Arubanian army was already doomed to failure.
At nightfall, the Arubanian army finally could not resist a total defeat.
Looking at the retreating enemy army, Li Tianhao, who defeated the enemy army with hundreds of troops, did not have the slightest joy, and he knew very well that he had to make a choice - when to retreat, if he could still retreat.
Li Tianhao, who returned to the camp, got two pieces of news, one good and one bad. The good news is that Elda defeated the Arubanian fleet and largely maintained its combat strength; The bad news was that the siege force was eventually driven out of the gates, and the main general, Muller, was wounded by a knife.
In the midst of the struggle with Zelda, the news of the arrival of enemy reinforcements reached the front line like a plague. In fact, even if this news did not come, the Yaki soldiers and Arubanian soldiers in the fortress would have made the most of the news they saw from above. The soldiers, whose morale had been hit, were unconsciously pressed back by the enemy little by little, and gradually separated from their main general, Mueller.
Surrounded by enemy troops, Muller fought and retreated, but at this time two of Zelda's dead men cut off his retreat. Although Zelda had a small number of dead soldiers, they were all masters, and they played a key role in the defense of the city. They are calm and ruthless, and they will not miss an opportunity for Muller in crisis.
Originally, Muller had more room to deal with Zelda alone, but when he was besieged by the enemy, he was a little struggling, and at this time, he suddenly killed two more masters, and Muller suddenly felt a little difficult to parry. A flash, Muller was stabbed in the left waist by a dead man, and Muller forced away the next knife pursued by the dead man with a backhand, and slashed an Arubanian soldier to death in a flash, but was forced into a corner by others.
"Stop! Let him go! Zelda suddenly shouted.
Seeing Mueller looking at him in astonishment, Zelda said coldly: "You let me go in Echtiton that day, and I won't kill you today, and we will not owe each other anything from now on!" ”
Mueller nodded and said, "It's really interesting, now I owe you a favor to the three of you, father and son." Leave! ”
At this time, Zelda's subordinates had squeezed the Palchi army out of the gate, and the Palchi army outside stopped fighting when they saw this scene, and the defenders inside stopped fighting, and the two sides fell into a stalemate. Mueller slowly walked out of the gate and withdrew with his soldiers.
Li Tianhao, who heard the news, sighed, he understood that if he lost this opportunity today, he was afraid that he would never have the opportunity to capture the Baroud Fortress again. But Zelda let Muller go today, at least fortunately, otherwise if something happened to Muller, he would only be even more upset.
That night, Li Tianhao convened a meeting of the generals, and the meeting discussed only one issue, since he had torn his face with Arubania, it was foreseeable that the other party would soon send a large army to come, and the withdrawal of troops was inevitable. Fortunately, Elda has retained the transportation capacity of the fleet, and the withdrawal of troops is not an impossible thing, the question is when to withdraw the troops. Do you start right away or do another attempt to storm the fortress of Baroud?
The result was surprisingly unanimous, and everyone supported the proposal to withdraw immediately, because every general sensed the change in morale, and in such a situation, it was better to withdraw while there was still strength to retreat than to gamble on the already low morale and face the danger of being surrounded by the Arubanian army.
