Chapter 16: The Battle of the Plains of Haydem (I)
Dozens of machine guns were ready in a matter of minutes. Li Haowen no longer hesitated when he saw that the weapon had been set up on the city wall, he held a pistol in his hand and shouted at the agents in front of him: "Colleagues, the time has come to repay the country!" We cannot allow terrorists to trample on this land. For the sake of our relatives in our hometown and for the sake of the Republic, we can only take up the weapons in our hands and be the devil again! β
When the agents on the side heard this, their blood boiled, and they shouted in unison: "We want to be devils!" Give the minister an order! β
"Good! I ordered the machine gunners to prepare! Aim at the cavalry in front and hit me hard! β
Li Haowen gave an order, and the walls of Haydem were immediately filled with fire. Countless bullets shot at Xiao Wanlong's cavalry troops. Only the sound of people shouting and neighing horses was heard, and the plains of Haydem instantly became a hell of blood.
Li Haowen took the telescope Xiangxia and looked at it, and couldn't help but show a satisfied look: "Very good!" This group of terrorists does not have any decent weapons. Now that the cavalry is finished, the rest of the people have nothing to fear! β
"yes, so we can launch a general attack." The agent below replied.
"Good! Listen to me! All the army is attacking! Li Haowen shouted excitedly.
It didn't take long for the gates of Haydem to open. Hundreds of heavily armed agents rushed out. At this time, there were more than a thousand corpses lying on the plain. Among them were horses and men.
The dust blown up by the machine-gun fire just now had not completely dispersed, and Li Haowen could only see the general situation of the battlefield. Out of the agent's unique caution, he ordered that he refrain from acting rashly for the time being.
Odd! It's too quiet. We are the cavalry that has wiped out the terrorists, but where are the infantry? I saw a large number of infantry just now! Are they all scared away? No, it only took a few minutes from stopping the attack to opening the gates. It is impossible for these soldiers to run so cleanly in such a short period of time. If there are still people left on the battlefield, there will be noise, even if it is the sound of breathing or wailing, there must be movement here. But now, except for the heavy gasps of his subordinates, Li Haowen couldn't hear any movement.
"You go check it out." Li Haowen instructed an agent beside him to come forward to investigate.
The agent nodded, and walked over with a gun in hand.
"Minister! Come and take a look! It wasn't long before the agent who had just walked past suddenly screamed.
Broken! Something happened! Li Haowen chuckled in his heart. He hurriedly led the rest of the people and quickly approached him.
When he came to the agent's side, he couldn't help but gasp, "This is... Straw Man!? β
By this time, the dust that had been permeating the surroundings had cleared. Li Haowen saw it really well. The cavalry they knocked down on the walls were actually straw men in armor!
Oops! Hit the trick! Li Haowen reacted immediately.
"Quick! Come on! Withdraw to the city at once! The new minister was in a hurry.
Just as he was directing the hundreds of agents to retreat, suddenly there was an earth-shattering shout of killing all around. Along with the shouting of killing, there were countless arrow feathers.
Although the agents under Li Haowen were experienced in a hundred battles, they were at a loss for a while in the face of this sudden attack, and more than a dozen agents fell to the ground in an instant.
"Damn! Shoot back," Li Haowen shouted as he ran back.
Only then did his subordinates react and raise their guns and shoot indiscriminately.
weishenme said that it was a random shot? Because they don't even know where to shoot. These people saw only the arrows in the sky, but not a single enemy. They had no choice but to return fire in the direction where the bow and arrow were fired.
Shooting like this is actually effective. Soon the frequency of bow and arrow attacks decreased considerably, creating an opportunity for the agents to retreat into the city.
The group quickly gathered together and ran towards the city gate as fast as they could. Unfortunately, when they arrived at the gates, they found that they had already been closed.
"Actually cut off our retreat! What a bunch of cunning foxes! Li Haowen couldn't stop wiping the sweat on his face.
"Minister, what should I do?" His agent asked.
Li Haowen glared at the agent who was asking: "Can't you understand it now?" We are surrounded, and now we can only break through if we want to survive. β
"Where to break through?" The agents asked anxiously.
Li Haowen looked around for a while, and said, "Retreat to the west, the number of arrows shooting over there is much less than that from other directions." β
A few hundred people were given an order. Get started now. They ran for miles until they finally came to a dense forest. By this time, the never-ending feathers had stopped.
Li Haowen waved his hand to signal to rest, and everyone collapsed to the ground as if they were going to die.
The hateful Xiao Wanlong actually forced me Li Haowen to look like this! You wait, I'm going to trample you under your feet when Jihua succeeds this time. Let you lick my shoes! Li Haowen thought viciously.
Just when this group of agents thought they had escaped, Xiao Wanlong's generals were celebrating with their crowns. They never dreamed that Xiao Wanlong's trick to lure the enemy deep would have such an effect.
"Da Shuai is really like a god! Now all the lackeys of the republic have been defeated by us. This time we can go into town with all our might. Wang Zumao said with a smile.
Xiao Wanlong didn't even raise his eyes when he heard his words: "Do you think that just with us grass breakers, we can defeat the republic?" It's naΓ―ve. The Seventh Division is not that easy to deal with. If we're not careful, we'll be their target! β
"Is it that serious? That... So what do we do? Wang Zumao asked eagerly.
"Hmph, no hurry! The dogs of the Republic couldn't get far, so I dug a trap for them. I think the hat-bearers are already starting to do it. Xiao Wanlong replied confidently.
As soon as the camera turned, Li Haowen saw that the agents' faces had improved after resting for a while, so he quickly ordered the group of people to leave here quickly. Because he felt that his troops were not out of danger. This is a dense forest, an easy place to set up an ambush, and if you stay here for too long, you can easily be attacked.
Hundreds of agents heard they were leaving the place. Immediately got up from the ground according to the minister's order. It's not that they don't want to continue to rest, but they want to change places. The most important thing for this group to do now is to return to the capital, Seris, and get a good night's sleep, and they don't want to stay in this place of Haydem for a minute.
Li Haowen hurriedly counted the number of people and found that there were nearly thirty people missing, and it seemed that they were killed by arrows. Li Haowen didn't have time to mourn for these people now, he had to find a way to return to the capital safely with the rest of the people. This is his top priority. But now that he has been plotted on someone else's territory, and his heavy weapons have been lost in the city, how can he go back?
Li Haowen was thinking in his heart, when suddenly an agent next to him shouted: "Oh no! Toxic fumes! β
All of a sudden, the crowd was chaotic again. (To be continued......)
