Chapter 102: The battle begins

The three squads of Feiteng quickly assembled, and the leader of one squad asked loudly, "Where are the sentinels?"

A mercenary who was supposed to be on the sentry said tremblingly: "Those soldiers of the military said that we don't need to go to the sentry today, they will be on duty." ”

"Hmph! I know there is something wrong with these military people!" the captain of the fourth squad said hatefully, he felt something was wrong two days ago, but the first and second squad leaders did not respond, and he could only hold it in his heart.

"Don't care who it is! Immediately form a formation, four squads, you defend the west, the second squad, you are in the center, pay attention to the movement on both sides, I will defend the east, we will slowly retreat to the east!" The leader of the first squad had already calmed down, and he quickly gave an order, and the thirty members of the flying squad immediately formed three small formations according to his order.

"No, we should go to the groom camp and get those grooms moving, and try to get those carts out!" Just as he was about to act, a squad leader stopped again, he looked back at the groom camp to the west of him, and then said to his subordinates.

"Captain, let's withdraw first, the enemy has infiltrated our camp, and the groom camp can be to the west of us, and the military half of the squad is at the front, and the camp there must have been broken through!" said a squad leader's own soldier grabbed him and pointed to the west.

Yes, there is no sound in the two camps on the west side, not even torches, and they can't hear the movement on their side, but there is ...... There can only be one explanation, their thirty people have been abandoned, this mission has failed, and they are inexplicably defeated, now they can only withdraw first, after regrouping, fight back and grab as many materials as possible, and wait for the looted materials to be sent to the place, and then go to the military to complain!

A squad leader waved his fist hatefully, gritted his teeth and said the word "Retreat!" They slowly retreated eastward, but the thieves also surrounded them from three sides.

"Four squads! Stand still! Stand in a double circle, everyone on alert! The pikemen step forward, the archers raise their bows!" The captain of the four squads stood in the forefront, holding his three-meter spears steadily, his eyes glanced at the other two squads, and firmly gave him the battle order as a rearguard.

"Captain, the three teams of Feiteng are out of touch!" said Skert as he handed me the magic clairvoyance.

I took the clairvoyant mirror and observed it for a while and said, "Gecko tail broken, isn't it too early? The enemy is not that strong? Go and call Zou Yuan up, he is familiar with Feiteng, let him see what's going on!"

Skart whistled under the tree for everyone to look over, Skart pointed to Zou Yuan, Zou Yuan immediately jumped up, climbed up the tree in three or two, I handed him the clairvoyant mirror and said, "Look, what's going on with these three teams?"

Zou Yuan raised the clairvoyant mirror and looked at it, and after looking at it for three or five minutes, he said to me: "From the perspective of the small team flag, it is the first, second, and fourth squads, and it is the fourth squad that stays to block it." Squads 1 to 3 are Feiteng's descendants, and Squads 4 and 5 are nothing, so it seems that they are going to be discarded?"

The thieves quickly circled from both sides to the sides of the four squads, but they were not completely surrounded, and they were also afraid that the first and second squads would come to kill them, so they left a hind leg for the four squads, and they didn't know what they were doing for them, anyway, they hit the right one, which made the resistance of the four squads drop by a few percent.

Zou Yuan looked at the situation on the battlefield and said: "The four squads are finished, the thieves deliberately left a back road for them, those thieves divided half of them out to confront the four squads head-on, and the others have bypassed the four squads to chase the first and second squads, which has actually cut off the retreat of the four squads, but the four squads who can't grasp the whole picture of the battlefield don't know." ”

I looked at the direction of the battlefield and nodded, although it was a little unclear, but from Zou Yuan's explanation, I already knew everything that happened on the battlefield, which was necessary to keep abreast of all the dynamics on the battlefield.

On the battlefield, the archers in the ten-man small circle finally shot their first round of arrows, and the five arrows fluttered over everyone's heads, and fell into the group of thieves, and a few screams made the soldiers of the four squads feel a little reassured, but a more severe reality was unfolding in front of them.

The screams also stimulated the thieves, and the round of arrows made the thieves pause slightly, and then the faint bloody aura that slowly diffused made the thieves collectively go berserk.

They drew their scimitars, straightened their small round shields, and rushed towards the four squads with a shout, and the second and third rounds of arrows were fired, but the killing effect was really pitiful, which not only reminded me of the battle against the werewolves not long ago.

I whispered, "Their formation is too tight!"

Zou Yuan, who was carefully watching the situation in the field, put it on the clairvoyant mirror, looked at me and asked, "Commander, what did you just say? The formation is too tight?"

"Yes! If the first platoon of pikemen could take three steps forward, then they would not be so passive, and the archers would be able to project long-range fire more calmly, and they could kill and injure thieves more effectively, but now they ...... like this" I didn't finish, because the situation on the battlefield had already answered everything for me.

The defense of the five spears was too weak, and the thieves of thirty or forty men easily broke through the resistance of the spears, and the pikemen had to abandon their spears, draw their knives and shields and start a white-knuckle battle with the thieves, while the archers who lost range dropped their longbows, picked up the pikemen and discarded the spears, and played the role of pikemen.

For mercenaries, except for some Qimen weapons, commonly used weapons, everyone will use, they are real all-rounders, the pikemen are behind the sword and shield soldiers, a gun stabbed on the enemy's shield, the opponent's shield is crooked, so that the opponent's chest loses the protection of the shield, and strives for opportunities for the first row of sword and shield soldiers.

This kind of cooperation did play a role in a short period of time, but the manpower of the four squads was still too small, when the first sword and shield soldier was cut and lost his combat effectiveness, the system of this small circle began to collapse, and the casualties of three or four people on the thief's side would not affect the overall combat power, and as long as the four squads suffered one casualty, the combat effectiveness was plummeting.

The fourth squad leader shouted and ordered: "All of them, slowly retreat to the east, we must try not to come into contact with the enemy!" I looked back at the mercenary who had fallen to the ground, his fate uncertain, at this time he had no ability to protect him, so he could only stay here.

The pikemen in the inner circle came up to one, completing the outer circle of the circle, and this small circle began to spin, slowly rotating towards the east.
