Chapter 1213: Nine Deaths and One Life
In the face of this raid commanded by Li Ran, at this time, these half-orcs on the other side were surprised to find that their self-righteous combat power was useless in front of them, and those inconspicuous human races and elves on the other side, except for the strength of the rank was not below them, each of them was so crazy and powerful, and their so-called desperate efforts were only waiting for the opponent's war knife and ruthless slaughter.
In the case of similar ranks, with 30,000 cavalry raiding 20,000 barbarian legions mainly infantry, coupled with the bloodthirsty and violent rhinoceros taking the lead in breaking up the opponent's line, this battle commanded by Li Ran personally did not give Duke Nuches this ambush legion any chance at all, as for the other party's commander, he only showed one side, and was killed by the four female warriors who suddenly appeared.
And after a brief cleaning of the battlefield, Li Ran also gave an order and called back all the barbarian warriors who were chasing and fleeing, and then divided a part of his forces, and after letting Du Ruhui take away thousands of valuable prisoners, he beheaded all the remaining prisoners.
Like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, this war with a scale of tens of thousands of people only took only two or three hours from the beginning to the departure of Li Ran's army, and when it was getting dark, Li Ran once again bypassed the army of Duke Nuches who rushed to the place, and outflanked the place where the Marquis of Titus was originally besieged.
rescued Titus, who was only a few thousand people left in Liao Liao, with a surprise attack, but Li Ran was not in a hurry to return to the city at this time, but after traveling hundreds of miles, he chose to be stationed when he saw that the soldiers were exhausted.
And here, Li Ran sneaked up on his main army of 20,000 people, especially when he saw so many of his men who were killed, this Duke of Nuches also seemed to be really angry, Li Ran's side not only got the news that the duke led the army to rush over early the next morning, and then the Barranca Air Cavalry Scout Corps even came with the information of more than 100,000 legions from the Bronze Mirror Fortress.
In addition to learning this information, the Marquis of Titus, who survived after nine deaths, couldn't help but find Li Ran and was in a hurry to rush back to the stronghold, and after thinking about it for a while, Li Ran also opened his mouth to arrange for someone to send him back.
"Aren't you going back now, Lord Terres?" For Li Ran who saved him, this marquis was still very grateful, and after hearing Li Ran make such a decision, he couldn't help but ask with some worry: "There are more than 100,000 troops dispatched on the other side, and it is very dangerous for you to stay outside like this."
In this regard, Li Ran sighed and said: "After yesterday's detour, in order to avoid the other party, our current position is far away from the stronghold, and from the current point of view, we have already been targeted by this Duke of Nuches, so these hundreds of thousands of people from the Bronze Mirror Fortress, I suspect that they should not rush here at this time, but go to intercept us on the way back to the stronghold, I let the light cavalry escort you back is too late, but if the army accompanies at the same time, the speed will definitely be reduced, and it is too late in time. I'm afraid I'll run into the opposing legion."
Hearing Li Ran's words, the Marquis of Titus couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but as a noble lord who could lead the army to fight alone, he also understood what Li Ran meant in the next moment, and knew that this possibility was very high.
"Thank you for coming to the rescue this time" hesitated for a moment, and this Titus also said with a straight expression: "How can I let you take the risk alone, count me as one, although I only have thousands of people left here, but it's still okay to play the side drums"
Being able to decide to stay at this time, Li Ran also nodded secretly in his heart, but the next moment he continued: "Your Excellency, you're welcome, this rescue is my mission, and as an alliance party, it is my responsibility, as long as you can return safely, I can also complete the task given by the alliance, as for your troops, to be honest, most of them are injured, staying will not play much role, but may delay our march, please bring it back immediately."
Knowing Li Ran's kindness, at this time, the Marquis of Titus also clasped his fists and said: "Okay, I won't say much about the urgency of time, I will bring people back immediately now, but don't worry, as long as you can delay here for a while, I will definitely bring troops over within three days."
stepped forward to help the marquis, Li Ran also said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, although the Duke of Nuches is attacking this time, the warriors of my Tyre City are not paper-muffled, after today's crisis, we will have a good drink in the stronghold."
Glancing at Li Ran, at this time, the Marquis of Titus nodded heavily and said: "Don't thank you for your great kindness, I will be the east of the stronghold another day, and I will definitely not get drunk with my lords!" ”
It can be seen that this person is also a cheerful person, after saying this, he also left here without saying a word, and after half an hour, after Li Ran deliberately assigned some mounts to them, this person also left here with soldiers and horses.
And here, after seeing this person leave, Li Ran did not leave in a hurry, but asked someone to find a group of teammates and generals and make a decision in his military tent.
"Boss, do you mean that we just turned around and picked up this army of Nuches behind us?" As soon as he heard that there was a big battle to be fought, Bao Zhuoyi was excited and unconsciously reverted to his previous title.
And after seeing Li Ran nodding slightly, Cai Chang said with some worry: "Brother Ran, wouldn't this be too risky, after all, we are still not sure whether the hundreds of thousands of people who came out of the Bronze Mirror Fortress have intercepted us, and even so, according to the Marquis of Titus, it is very likely that the legion behind us is commanded by the Duke of Nuches himself."
Hearing this, everyone present nodded, and at this time, even An Zhenxi, who had just arrived, said: "Cai Chang is right, although the barbarian army that followed us now seems to have only sixty or seventy thousand troops, but if there is such an important person as Duke Nuches present, not to mention himself, there should be many noble lords with him, if you count their war space, this battle will not be easy to fight, but once we lose, we will be very dangerous here."
In this regard, Li Ran said with a sigh: "Yes, you have all thought it out very well, but for us, there is no choice at the moment, we will only meet with the opponent's army in the direction of the stronghold, and I am sure that at this time, not only this army is rushing, under the command of Duke Nuches, the other Saranca legions in that area are likely to be assembled at this time, and once we encounter it, the chance of survival will be very small."
"Didn't the Marquis of Titus say that as long as we can hold out for two or three days, he will bring troops over?" At this critical moment, An Zhenxi didn't care about anything else and continued to ask.
At this time, Li Ran looked at everyone and said: "Let's not ask if this Marquis of Titus can really bring troops to come within three days, you have to remember one thing, once a person does something bad, he will do it to the end without asking for a reason, and this incident is undoubtedly done by Duke Griffiths, do you think in this case, he will still let the Marquis of Titus transfer troops to support?" ”
Speaking of this, Li Ran also smiled slightly and continued: "And even if you take a step back, this Titus, who looks pretty good, can finally settle these obstacles and transfer his troops, but I am afraid that with the interference of Duke Griffiths, it will take at least five days or more, if we don't take action now, counting the grain and grass we carried this time, it will not be enough to sustain until that time, and only by defeating this legion that we are following behind can we have a chance."
Hearing this, everyone also stopped talking, and Wu Tongtong and the others, who had been following Li Ran for a long time, seemed to see a trace of other meaning in Li Ran's expression at this moment, although they didn't expect it at this time, but their intuition told them that all this was not so simple, so they habitually remained silent.
And after seeing that everyone else didn't speak, including Zhang Yanxi also hinted to herself, An Zhenxi didn't continue to ask, and then Li Ran also began to assemble rapidly after some detailed arrangements.
No one knows how this Prince of Terris did it, and under the deliberate ambush of Duke Nuches of the Saranca Empire, this person not only became the Marquis of Titus, but also severely damaged and captured this powerful duke that the Holy Falcon Alliance feared and feared when the other party sent a large army to encircle and suppress him.
When the news came, just as the Prince of Territh had returned with his army, everyone had gathered outside the gates of the stronghold, and after witnessing the captured Duke of Nuches and confirming that the previous information was true, people could not help but feel great admiration for the Prince of Terres.
But what is unexpected is that it may have been fought too hard in the battle, not only the army of the Prince of Terres was seriously damaged, but even the Duke of Nuches was extremely injured and dying.
However, none of this can hide Li Ran's great merits, especially at such a critical moment in the war, which undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of the alliance side, and in the following two days, this stronghold, led by the three dukes and the military and political chief Aulus, forced the opponent back to the Bronze Mirror Fortress in one fell swoop.
After being introduced into the stronghold as a hero, people were surprised to find that it may be that too many soldiers were killed in battle, but at this time, the gentle Prince Terrys no longer had the good temper he had before, not only made a fuss in the conference hall a few days later, but then did not listen to dissuasion, and in a fit of rage, he led his troops to rush into the reconnaissance corps responsible for sending intelligence, and almost killed the person in charge here.
