Chapter 20 5 Reinforcements
Woolley and Jimda hurried with two thousand men in the starry night, not daring to let up in the slightest. Both of them are essentially fierce generals, and their martial prowess brings a strong sense of security and a high-pressure attitude to the soldiers. At their urging, the soldiers hurried as hard as they could, and everyone gritted their teeth and held on.
Still, Woolley was in a hurry. For him, as long as they arrived a moment early, it was also a great help to the defense of Essras, and it didn't matter how tired the soldiers were, their purpose was to set up suspicious soldiers rather than close combat. In the end, even Jimda couldn't stand it anymore, and persuaded him not to continue like this, and to give the soldiers time to catch their breath.
Finally, the soldiers who had a chance to rest their feet and drink saliva and eat something softened one by one like noodles in a pot. The rapid march for a day and night had exhausted their physical strength. Jimda tore a piece of bread and gave it to Woolley: "You can eat some too, don't be too nervous, you won't be able to eat, you have to find a chance to let the soldiers sleep today." ”
Woolley took the bread and only took a bite before stopping, the long tension and exertion made him have no appetite at all, and he said as he chewed: "I understand what you say, but Master Caire only has two thousand weak soldiers in his hands, and Lord Muller cannot last a long time, and we can share a little of their pressure a moment earlier." ”
"You, you're always too serious, I don't have as much heart as you do, just do what the boss tells you to do." Jimda said as he picked up the bread and munched on it.
Woolley smiled: "I'm not as heartless as you, seeing that you have such a good appetite, it seems that nothing can affect your appetite." ”
"Of course. Even if the sky is going to fall tomorrow, you can't meet tomorrow with an empty stomach, and if you don't eat enough, how can you have the strength to fight. You say, don't you? ”
"Maybe you're right." Woolley smiled wryly and shoved the rest of the bread into her mouth in three or two clicks. He swallowed it with a sip of water, then stood up and said loudly, "I know you're tired, and I'm so tired!" However, the friendly forces of Essrath City are still waiting for our rescue, and our hard work can save their lives! Let's work hard and hit the road! ”
When the soldiers heard this, they could only drag up their heavy bodies and continue on the road.
After another half a day, the speed of the team was getting slower and slower, and more and more soldiers were falling behind. Jimda said as he walked, "No, you don't have to go to Essras City if you go on like this." We've exhausted ourselves to death. I don't think it's getting early, so let's find a place to rest today, rest overnight and recuperate before leaving. ”
Woolley looked at his soldiers, and he knew that he couldn't force it any longer, so he nodded. Seeing this, the soldiers were as if they had received a death sentence pardon, and suddenly their whole people were relieved, and one by one they fell directly to the ground, and many people fell asleep directly.
"I'll take a few people to guard, you guys should rest first." Wool said in a tired voice.
"Don't be too forceful. I think you're awake like you're asleep. Jimda spoke of his concerns, but as soon as he lay down, he fell asleep in an instant.
Wool braced himself on the ground with his broadsword, trying his best to keep his eyes together. The soldiers in charge of guarding were also staggering. It was getting dark, and Woolley couldn't hold it anymore, and his eyelids gradually closed.
Suddenly. A voice reached Woolley's ears, albeit very slightly. But it still lit the warning light in his heart and pulled him back from the abyss of sleep. Woolley opened his eyes. Hundreds of Yaki Army soldiers have been spotted sneaking in! In an instant, Woolley was shocked, and he raised his big knife and roared: "Enemy attack!" ”
The sound spread like thunder, and the soldiers around them jumped up like popping beans. Jimda had already unsheathed his sword as he jumped, and by the time he saw his surroundings, most of the soldiers had already woken up. When the soldiers of the Yaki Army saw the deed, they immediately brandished their weapons and killed them. A few soldiers who didn't have time to get up suddenly turned their heads differently.
"Don't panic! Rely on your teammates to form a formation! Move closer to me! Woolley shouted as he rushed towards the encircled Yaqui Army. At this time, there was another shout of killing around him, and thousands of Yaji troops rushed out from all around. Hundreds of arrows were fired at the same time.
Jimda saw that Woolley had already engaged the Yaggee army, and he took the opportunity to observe the Yaggee army. The scale of the other party is not large, it is estimated that there are only about 2,000 people, but the problem is that the other party launched a sneak attack, and his own long-distance attack is exhausted, and it is not in formation, and it has fallen into a completely passive situation from the beginning. Jimda looked around and found that the terrain of the southeast mountain was relatively dangerous, so he immediately led dozens of people around him to rush towards the mountain, shouting: "If you don't want to die, come with me!" Conquer that hill first! ”
Hearing Jimda's shout, many soldiers followed. Sure enough, there were not many Yaki troops on this hill, and after paying the price of more than 20 casualties, Jimda dispersed the Yaki army on this hill, and Jimda, who had temporarily gained a foothold, asked the soldiers to organize defense on the spot, and led people to rescue other comrades who were caught in the melee.
At the same time, Woolley was surrounded by enemy troops, and in order to rescue the soldiers in crisis, Woolley had to rush to the most critical places, which attracted more enemy troops. Blocking, dodging, slashing, slashing, and in countless repetitions, Woolley cut a dozen enemy troops in two, and was intimidated by his bravery as the Yagi Army's offensive slowed down. At this moment, a figure rushed over and shouted: "Down here is Sigis, the son of General Ulysses, who is willing to fight your Excellency!" ”
The fierce slash made Woolley take half a step back, and the other party was a fierce opponent, Woolley confirmed in his heart. Sure enough, Sigis's attack completely suppressed Woolley like a whirlwind, and Woolley had to retreat again and again, with little chance to fight back.
"Thief General, report your name, and I want to know whose head I have taken." Siggis, who had the upper hand, said so.
"Impudent! I'm going to kill you, Woolley! Wool, who finally found an opportunity, used a diagonal slash to get rid of the opponent's attack, and ended the suppressed situation before turning to a counterattack.
At this time, I heard a familiar voice behind me shouting, "Don't fight that idiot, come with me, Woolley!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Jimda had already entered the encirclement, and threw the scimitar that he had just snatched from Yagi's hands towards Sigis, taking advantage of Sigis to dodge, Jimda forced Sigis to take three steps back, and then Jimda ran away with Woolley's head without looking back.
"Bastard! Don't you have a sense of honor as a warrior? Sigis roared behind him.
"Honor or something is left to you, I just need your head." Jimda threw down the sentence and ran to the hill with a puff of smoke. (To be continued......)
