Unfortunately for these two crows, the coalition army kept encountering soldiers deserting, escaping, and even turning around to surrender to the Demon King Army on the way north, and the remaining army of about 16,000 people had already run away about 2,000 people before they arrived in Kodor.

There is no way. These armies were originally troops from second, third and fourth-rate countries, and even strong men who were temporarily captured from the people, and their own military discipline was very problematic, but now the coalition army has lost the battle, the supplies can't keep up, and they are chased by the demon king army behind their buttocks, and they have to smear oil on the soles of their feet.

If it weren't for the prestige of the saint and the full force of Duke Elstenin, I am afraid that there would be more deserters at this moment.

After arriving in Kodor, the coalition army finally entered the city and had a full meal, but the demon army was already in hot pursuit. What's worse is that at this time, the logistics troops of the Demon King Army from Sailal have also arrived near Kodor in time, and the Demon King Army is like a plane that has been refueled in the air, and it will resupply on the spot and begin to besiege Kodor.

The city of Kodor was originally not large, and the walls were also very low, so in the face of the onslaught of the Demon King's army, there was no room for defense. After less than half a day, the already demoralized coalition forces had to abandon Kodor, take Kodor's original defenders and enough food, and set fire to the granaries in the city, and continued to flee north.

By the way, in fact, at this time, the coalition army had a good reason to turn west again, but the Demon King Army had already taken a step ahead of this point, and specially arranged a force on the west side to intercept it, forcing the coalition army to continue north.

Just kidding, the coalition army is going north, and the road ahead is a border city with low walls, which is not worth mentioning in front of the Demon King Army, and the logistics of the Demon King Army can be safely supported by shuttling through their own territory. If the coalition forces are allowed to turn westward, the grain route will become longer and longer, and they will have to risk the risk of being cut off, let alone pursuing the main force of the coalition army, and if they are not killed by the main force of the coalition army, it will be considered lucky.

Therefore, when the Demon King Army was desperately chasing and fighting, it did not forget to form a partial division with strong mobility, staring at the west side of the coalition army all the time, and watching them turn to the west.

During this period, the coalition army really tried to break through to the west several times, but was blocked back by the Demon King Army. After that, he could only die down and continue to be driven north by his fate.

No. 7 still has a difference in his heart, because the coalition forces have attacked the west several times, and he is waiting for Li Qinglan to make a move in the partial division on the west side. But Li Qinglan didn't go all out a few times, so he went back, although it seemed to outsiders that he was also a brilliant fight, but No. 7 knew that Li Qinglan definitely didn't go all out, which made him even more confused.

If the coalition forces continue to be driven north, the result will only be gradually eroded. It's impossible for Li Qinglan not to see such a result, so why not fight to fight a way to the west?

It's just that even though he had doubts in his heart, he had no way to convey this doubt to Barnaby, Josephine and others, so he could only follow the Demon King Army to continue to chase the coalition army north.

After chasing for two more days, the Demon King Army discovered a new situation, that is, in the camp traces left by the coalition army in front, the number of stoves suddenly increased.

"The coalition is backed up by reinforcements?" Barnaby's first reaction was this.

"It's unlikely, our partial division on the west side hasn't sent any news of this at all, and besides, the rear of the coalition forces is not so quick to come up with reinforcements. We applied for reinforcements from the rear in advance, but the coalition forces would not do that. Seven said with some confusion.

"Then contact the commander of the partial division, Commander Itamar, and confirm that there are indeed no reinforcements passing by there." Barnaby commanded cautiously.

The news soon came back that there were indeed no troops coming from the west to join the coalition forces, and Itamar dutifully monitored all areas on the western side of the coalition forces, and once again assured that the coalition forces would never flee west.

"And how do you explain the extra stove? According to the number of stoves left in this camp, there must be at least 18,000 coalition soldiers now, and we only have more than 20,000 people now. Barnaby said anxiously.

"Increase? Increase? Seven repeated it twice, and a flash of inspiration suddenly crossed his mind, "I see, Lord Barnaby, the coalition forces are cheating us!" ”

"Fraud?" Still in the age of innocence of war, Barnaby, who had not experienced much intrigue and intrigues, asked a little puzzled, "What do you mean?" ”

"They are using the counter-reduction strategy, they want to use the increased stove to make the illusion of getting reinforcements and scare us!" No. 7 said excitedly, recalling in his mind the deeds of Yu Xuzeng's Qiang Soldiers.

At that time, Yu Xu sent troops to save Chiting, and was pursued by the Qiang soldiers halfway, so he ordered the soldiers to build a lot of stoves, so that it seemed that there were many people in his army, and the Qiang soldiers did not dare to chase too much, so Yu Xu was able to march smoothly to reach Chiting and relieve the siege of Chiting.

Now that the coalition army has not received reinforcements, the stove has increased so much, I am afraid that I also want to use this strategy to scare the demon king army, so that they dare not chase after it, so that they can escape smoothly.

And the coalition forces were forced to use even this strategy, which means that they are indeed exhausted. In this way, Li Qinglan didn't actually engage in any conspiracy, but really failed to this extent?

After listening to No. 7's explanation, Barnaby suddenly realized, and also said with some emotion, "It's really cunning, if it weren't for Mr. Cosimo's presence, I'm afraid they would have succeeded this time." Hey, it really scares me to see so many stoves. ”

"Now it has been confirmed that the coalition forces really have no power to fight back, and even if such a suspicious strategy is used, it must be exhausted, we just have to chase and chase, and we will definitely be able to annihilate the enemy army!" Number Seven said categorically.

The only one who has always been cautious, as the brake of the Demon King Army, No. 7 has also changed course, this time the Demon King Army no longer has anyone to be cautious, Barnaby gave the order to pursue in high spirits, and pounced on the main force of the coalition army that was sleepy and lacking, the army was demoralized, and there were more and more deserters.

In the midst of the coalition army, they heard a report from the spies in the rear that the Demon King Army had begun to attack with all their might, which surprised and delighted Duke Elsstein and others.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect to increase the number of stoves and make the illusion of reinforcements arriving, but it can lead the Demon King Army to pursue with all its might, the magic of the art of war is really unimaginable." The Duke still hadn't figured it out.

"It's just a trick of fiction and reality. Fiction is real, reality is virtual, Zhuge Liang relied on this strategy to turn Cao Cao around in Huarong Dao, and today he deceived a demon king army, which is still overkill. Lin Yuedong smiled.

"So, what are we going to do next? Where can the support you are talking about arrive? The saint asked.

"Street of Frost." Lin Yuedong said happily, "As long as the coalition forces arrive near the left side of Frost Street, the reinforcements will arrive!" ”
