Chapter 103: An Incredible Battle
When the battle circle rotated, the pressure decreased a lot, and the members of the fourth squad actually had the slightest idea of being able to rush out, but there were too many enemies, and there were only one enemy in front of them, and those enemies finally surrounded their back road, and they were completely encircled.
The members of the four squads were killed or injured one by one, needless to say, they were abandoned, at this time, as long as they could rush out, it would be good, who would have the energy to protect the corpses of their comrades?
Those who were killed and wounded could only be abandoned, let them fend for themselves, hoping that those thieves had a bit of a warrior's heart and could give those wounded a decent treatment of prisoners of war.
And their opponents, the casualties are several times that of the four squads, but few of them are killed, most of them are only injured, they are much luckier than the four squads, once they are injured, they have their own companions to cover and withdraw from the battle group, and they can be killed again after dealing with the killing on the periphery.
The four squads did not have this treatment, they could only walk while fighting, leaving their companions who could not move to the enemy, and the rest of them retreated resolutely to the east.
After all, they are formally trained mercenaries, they are more professional than thieves, and of course they are better equipped, and their steadfastness is also terrifying to the enemy, and the encirclement is getting bigger and bigger, and their room for maneuver is slowly expanding, but their numbers are getting smaller and smaller.
The enemy in front of them is finally no longer the inner and outer three layers, they can see the scene behind the enemy, there is an empty field, they seem to be able to finally rush out in one breath, but the captain of the fourth squad did not give the order to charge, he just threw away the spear that had been broken into two sections, slowly drew out his waist knife, and straightened the small round shield on his left arm, and he replaced the next warrior in the outer circle who was no longer able to move.
Now they don't have pikemen anymore, only five of them can still fight, and all of them are hung with colors, this seems to be an encirclement that can be rushed out, in the eyes of these mercenary veterans, it is simply a trap, and they can only rush out by relying on the strength of the team.
"Four squads, keep in formation, assault to the east, we will definitely be able to rush out!" The captain of the four squads shouted, taking the lead in speeding up his pace, and the remaining four team members responded loudly: "Wow!" Everyone quickened their pace in unison.
Their circle formation has not changed, what has changed is only the speed of the formation, the five people swung out the sword shadow is like the sawtooth on the circular saw, fiercely cutting into the enemy's formation, the thieves finally couldn't bear it, they retreated to both sides, the five people of the four squads finally broke through the enemy's encirclement, but they were about to rush out less than two hundred meters, and the scene in front of them completely dispersed the morale they had just gathered.
On the tree a few hundred meters away, Fu Yuan and I are like two statues, this battle that has ended makes me feel an indescribable taste in my heart, and Fu Yuan's sudden trembling cheeks let people know that his psychology is now undergoing a strong impact.
This is no longer the Feiteng he is familiar with, those so-called elites are not even as good as an amateur team that has just entered the mercenary world, after seeing that the four squads have stabilized the battle line and used the rotating circle array to retreat to the east little by little, Zou Yuan's attention has already shifted to the two main squads.
The four squads had obviously been abandoned, and they must have known it themselves, they had firmly pinned down the enemy who was five times larger than them, and their mission was actually very good.
A few minutes ago, the two main squads took advantage of the little time that the four squads had to contain the enemy, and quickly rushed to the east, they didn't jump out first, reorganize the team, and reflexively recapture the materials they guarded, they just wanted to escape, there was a conspiracy here, they wanted to go back to Yan Shifan, and solve everything here through the head of the regiment to find the mercenary guild.
It's just that their ideas are very good, but the thieves didn't make a mistake and let them go, the fifty or so thieves had already rounded back behind them, seeing them running over with a bang, these fifty thieves jumped out, making the two mercenaries who were flying gasp, I really didn't expect that there was a team ambushed here.
Under the command of a small team leader, they barely formed a large circle formation, but their trembling legs said a lot, and when there was a chaotic footstep behind them, some of the twenty people actually had weak legs, sat on the ground, wrinkled away and hated the clairvoyant mirror, and the violent gasping let people know that he was about to explode in anger.
The team of nearly a hundred thieves oppressed up in a haphazard manner, they did not have regular armor on their bodies, only a few of them wore simple cuirasses with dozens of small wooden blocks, and more people were just wearing thick coarse cotton clothes, and the weapons in their hands were also full of tricks, even the styles of shields were varied, but they faced the well-equipped Feiteng mercenaries, and they actually made people feel that those thieves were regular mercenaries, and those mercenaries were like thieves with a sense of disobedience.
The thieves brandished the weapons in their hands, let out an incomprehensible cry, and crashed into the mercenaries regardless of the mercenaries, who also brandished the mercenary-standard knives in their hands, and the small round shield on their left arm struck out desperately, no matter how they looked like they were professionally trained.
In the first round of attacks, several of the thieves were injured, but they withdrew in a very orderly manner, and the people behind immediately replenished it, continued to raise all kinds of weapons in their hands, and greeted the mercenaries, but their weapons were too poor compared to the mercenaries, otherwise they would have broken through the mercenaries' defenses.
The thieves slowly retreated, widening the distance between the two sides, it was not that the thieves were demoralized by this first round of killing, they just withdrew their fists first, ready to charge for the second time, and the mercenaries did not repel the joy of the first round of impact, and some mercenaries said to a small team leader: "Captain, let's surrender, there are too many of them!
Before the captain of the first squad could figure out how to deal with the predicament in front of him, the second wave of thieves' attacks began, and the thieves did not rush up in one breath this time like the first time, they slowly but firmly pressed up, which made the circle formed by the first and second squads smaller again, and twenty people snuggled together, and the steel knives in their hands were shaking involuntarily.
One of the thieves whistled, and the thieves, who were only ten paces away from the mercenary, immediately swarmed up, and the blades came up from the top of their heads, on both sides, and even from the crotch, so that the mercenaries felt that the knife was coming from all directions, and they didn't know which direction to defend against for a while.
When the first hapless mercenary to be slashed shouted, "I've been slashed!" another voice shouted, "We surrender!"
