Just when the Canberra army was in great chaos, the 100,000 Great Xia Forbidden Army was like an extremely sharp knife, stabbing into the abdomen of the enemy army, and before the night, at the most unlikely time, suddenly set off a major battle.

The Janissary attack exacerbated the confusion of the Canberra army.

They are like a herd of frightened wild deer on the grassland, chased by lions, desperately running forward, trampling each other, as long as they run past their companions, they can win a glimmer of life.

In the process, some players realized that something was wrong, stopped, and prepared to fight back against the enemy army.

However, they were only a few after all, and in front of the high-speed charging Great Xia guards, these "warriors" were like quicksand, and they were quickly killed completely, leaving behind a white light.

For the Canberra army, a large-scale counterattack cannot be organized, and the only hope is to get out of contact with the Great Xia Janissaries as much as possible, and drag time into the night.

The hour before darken was particularly difficult.

By the time the night covered the skyline in the distance, the already exhausted Canberra army breathed a long sigh of relief, as if they had seen a savior.

The nightmare is finally over temporarily.

After nightfall, the Great Xia Forbidden Army did not chase and kill, but returned to the camp to rest. On this day, they had already achieved great results, first crushing the enemy's 100,000 vanguards, and then dispersing the enemy's main force.

According to conservative estimates, more than 50,000 people were killed in just one hour, and as many as 100,000 surrendered. Those who surrendered were all the forbidden troops of the royal city. After this battle, the forbidden army in the royal city of Canberra has been paralyzed for more than half of it.

…………

It was late at night.

The 250,000 Canberra army finally woke up and stopped retreating, and some collapsed to the ground. They looked around blankly, front and back, left and right, all of them were equally confused faces.

The night breeze blows, bringing a chill.

Most of them sat directly on the floor, pulled out cold dry food, and chewed it stiffly. Others silently carried utensils and went around looking for water sources to bring drinking water to their companions to soothe their throats that were about to smoke.

The whole team is lifeless.

The two inexplicable defeats before and after greatly weakened the strength of the troops, and the morale was low, and the image of the invincible guards of Great Xia has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

In this case, even if you survive tonight, what can you do?

"If we can't win, we're afraid we're going to die......," someone said, shedding bitter tears. No one laughed at him, because everyone's mood was probably the same.

The exhaustion of the body is far less than the despair of the mind.

In the night breeze, some people sang a ballad, which is Australia's most famous ballad - "Jungle Wandering".

Once upon a time there was a homeless man,

Sleeping by the pond,

Set up a tent under a eucalyptus tree.

While looking at the campfire,

While singing, "Altzing Ma-tilda, please wander with me." ”

……

The song describes a wandering wanderer, when he made a cup of tea in the jungle and caught a sheep to eat, the original owner of the sheep brought three police officers to arrest him.

The mood of the homeless man seemed to fit the current situation very well, and more people hummed.

A thirsty sheep,

Walk into this little pond,

The bum's excitement grabbed it,

Hurry up and stuff it into that pocket, and my heart is triumphant,

"I want you to wander with me!"

……

As soon as the homeless man jumped into the middle of the water,

"You'll never try to catch me!"

Whenever we pass by that pond we seem to hear his free soul flying in the sky.

……

By the last line of singing, some people were already in tears, aren't they just a group of homeless people who have been pursued to a desperate situation by the enemy?! The final outcome may be to take the initiative to jump down to the big lake.

The howling night wind took away the whimpering weeping, leaving only the coldness of the ground.

Irresistible sleepiness hit, and the exhausted soldiers fell asleep directly on the ground, hugging each other, preparing to spend a sleepless night in the night breeze.

"Let's fight to the death tomorrow, win or lose!" The soldiers made up their minds.

…………

The Canberra army's wish to fight to the death was ultimately unfulfilled.

In the early morning, just after a night of cold, the Canberra army had woken up, stretched their limbs on the wet grass, and moved their already stiff bodies.

Stoves were set up and hot milk and oat bread were boiled. The soldiers took out all the dry rations, prepared a full meal, and then fought to the death with the enemy.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of fighting in all directions.

The outposts on the periphery were cleared one by one by the enemy at a speed visible to the naked eye, and they used up the remaining strength of their lives to issue a final warning to their comrades.

"Hmph, it's just in time!"

The soldiers thought that it was yesterday's Great Xia Janissaries again, and they didn't panic at all, they were preparing to fight each other to the death, since they came, let's fight directly!

They were wrong!

Those who participated in the encirclement and suppression were not only 100,000 Great Xia guards, but also the tiger and leopard cavalry led by Ma Chao.

It turned out that shortly after the encirclement and suppression battle at noon yesterday, Lu Bu led the dragon-blooded war cavalry to escort the prisoners of war, while Ma Chao led his troops to break away from the large army and hurried towards Canberra.

Halfway through, I learned that the Canberra army was leaving the city.

It stands to reason that the most important thing for Ma Chao to do at that time was to take the opportunity to take the royal city of Canberra, so that the battle of Australia would be completely over without a trace of suspense.

However, before attacking Australia, the military advisor Jia Xu had a stern explanation: "This attack on Australia should be based on destroying the enemy army, and attacking the city second." Even if you besiege the royal city, or even lead your troops into the royal city, you can't rashly smash the stone tablet and complete the occupation. When to occupy the royal city and end the national war, you have to ask the high command. ”

Huo Qubing knew a little about the plan of the headquarters, so he naturally conveyed this order to the five commanders of the Praetorian Guard. Don't look at Huo Quai's usual smiling face, Ma Chao doesn't dare to disobey the commander's military orders.

In the battle to destroy Jin, which ended not long ago, when Lu Bu led his troops to the preset assembly point, the bridge was broken due to heavy rain, resulting in an hour late.

At that time, Huo Quzhi's face turned cold.

Poor Lu Bu not only received twenty lashes, but also braved the cold wind and stood outside the camp tent of the commander all night.

After this incident, the army commanders did not dare to have the slightest discount on the military orders of the commanders, let alone disobey the military orders and act without authorization.

Therefore, Ma Chao could only give up his combat exploits, directly bypass Canberra, and pursue all the way down towards the enemy's advance route, which led to the scene of the two Praetorian Guards encircling the Canberra army in the morning.
