Chapter 132: Burning Materials
"General Nice, are you really going to do this......" Oram, the general of the Kyrgynian royal army, looked at the young general in front of him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"That's all there is to it, General Oram, Lieton is not an easy opponent, and we can't win him without some extraordinary tactics. Ness said. "General Oram, we are attacking the supply units of the Bretan army in this forest. Ness drew his sword from his waist and gestured at the map.
A day later, two hundred miles west of Lanyue City, the supply force under the command of the general of the Bretan Army, Lieton, marched through a dense forest. This forest is the only way to get from Lanyue City to Cangyun City, the capital of the king of Kyrgynia.
"General, the Kyrgyians are coming at us. A herald rushed to report.
"Park the wagons together, protect the grain and grass, and ...... supplies," Lieton ordered in a loud voice.
Tens of thousands of Kyrgidian troops, led by Nice, entered the forest to attack the supply forces of the Bretans, and a fierce battle soon ensued in the forest.
"These damn Kyrgidians. "Orik, the commander of the Flying Tiger Battalion, swung his hammer and struck away the surrounding Gilgidian soldiers.
Several green fighting qi fell from the sky in the "Wind and Sword Rain", and the "Black Earth Shield Armor" Orrick swung his hammer to unleash a brown-black earth-based fighting qi to block the green rays falling from the sky.
"Whew" A sharp sword flew in, and Orrik flashed sideways, and in front of Orrick was a young Gilgian general.
From the sword rain that had conjured up from the burst of fighting qi just now, Orrick could feel that this young general had the same high-level fighting spirit as himself.
"Good boy, let's have a good fight. Eurik yelled and swung his hammer at Nice.
Retton, the commander of the supply unit of the Brettan Army, and hundreds of cavalry of the Flying Tiger Battalion stood by the carriage, and the famous general of the Bretan Army, known as the "Flying Tiger", also had a high-level fighting spirit, but Lyton did not participate in the battle.
Eyes on the two armies fighting in the forest, Ledon wanted to figure out the true intentions of the Kyrgias, three days ago, at the foot of the Cuizhu Mountain, the Kyrgyians quickly chose to retreat after the failure of the raid, from the perspective of the Gilgidian army in the forest today, it is not even as many as three days ago under the Cuizhu Mountain, but they dare to come and fight with themselves.
"General, there is a fire on the west side of the forest......," a herald rushed to report that to the west was the direction in which the supply force of the Bretan army was heading, and that the Kyrgyzans wanted to block their own side with fire.
"Gather the convoy and we evacuate this forest from the east. Litton motioned for the convoy to follow him out of the east, and if the fire spread to this side, all the supplies in the wagon would be burned.
Before they had gone far, 20,000 Kyrgidian troops stopped in the way of the retreat of the Bretan army, led by Olam, the general of the Kyrgysian royal army.
"Let's go up and repel this Gilgidian ......" Lydon was just about to command his men to repel the Gilgidian army that was blocking him, when smoke blew from the east side of the forest.
"General Lieton, I've set fire to both ends of the forest, so don't even think of retreating from here. Oram, who was on his horse, glanced back at the billowing smoke rising from the woods behind him, and shouted at Retton, the commander of the Bretan Army.
"General Lieton" Flying Tiger Battalion Commander Orrick led people from the rear and saw that flames were also rising on the east side of the forest. "General, the Gilgiians have set fire to both ends of the forest, do they want to die with us?" said Orrick in disbelief.
"Erik, there is still a road to the north of this forest, and we will escort the convoy to the quilt. Litton said in a deep voice.
Lieton knew why the enemy would dare to use such a suicidal attack, as long as this batch of supplies was burned, then the Bretan army on the front line of Cangyun City could only retreat, and from a strategic point of view, it was completely worthwhile for the enemy general to use this kind of lose-lose strategy.
The supply force of the Bretan Army retreated towards the north side of the forest, "General Oram, we must stop them. "The armies of Nice and Oram converged, and the Gilgidian army blocked the Bretan army on the northern edge of the forest.
"Eurik, repel these Kyrgias. Lieton drew his sword from his waist, and now that it was a critical moment, Lieton had decided to go into battle and kill the enemy himself.
The two armies continued to fight in the forest, and the fires that spread from the east and west soon converged in the forest and burned towards the north.
As night fell, the fires in the forest still did not subside, but the battle between the Gilgiians and the Bretans was over.
Oram was sitting on a large rock, and the physician accompanying the army was bandaging the wounds of General Oram, and during the battle, Oram was hit by an arrow in the shoulder.
General Ness walked from the side, and Nice's silver armor was stained red with blood.
"Nice, the casualty situation...... "How's it going?" Oram asked, enduring the pain of his wounds, "our army has lost more than 40,000 soldiers, and there are still 20,000 horses left. Ness replied.
Not long ago, in the forest west of Lanyue City, the Gilgidian army and the Bretan army fought a fierce battle, Oram and Nice led the army to intercept the supply force of the Bretan army that wanted to rush out of the forest, and a large number of soldiers died in the battle, many of whom did not die in the battle with the enemy.
Nice arranged for people to set fire to the east and west ends of the forest at the beginning, and the fire spread rapidly in the forest, and the supply troops of the Bretan army wanted to withdraw from the forest, but the Gilgidian army stuck to the retreat path of the Bretan army, and the fire quickly burned to the place where the two armies were fighting.
Many of the Gilgidian and Bretan soldiers were killed in the fire, which was a lose-lose battle, but for Nice, it had achieved its intended purpose, and all the supplies of the Bretan army were burned in the fire.
In Lanyue City, the general of the Bretan Army, Lieton, retreated with more than 10,000 remaining soldiers into the Lanyue City occupied by the Bretan Army.
