Chapter 68: The Last Stand

Leading the troops of Xiangzong City is Changzong I Butai, he is the younger brother of the head of the Changzong family, Changzong I Bu Yuan, Ren Xiangzong City Lord, a day ago, he snorted after receiving the news and waved everyone back, although the identity of the person who sent the letter is no problem, but Changzong I Butai saw from his expression that he was tired. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"It's impossible to think from behind!--But everything must be investigated, if this is true, then there must be a trap for sending this news, why don't I ......"

When Changzong and I were alone, I calmed down and thought about it, and the corners of my mouth hooked my heart.

In the face of the sudden attack of arrows, without the command of Changzong and my department, the soldiers raised the shields that had been prepared, and then retreated in an orderly manner.

Seeing that Changzong's troops were panicked, Ace guessed that raising the shield was not a subconscious action, and wanted to stop Mao Aiqi by speaking out, but it was too late-

With the shooting of the bow and arrows, Mao Aiqi remembered Ace's teaching of "taking the lead", and rushed down the mountain in the first place, facing the troops of Changzong and my Tai.

Because they already had precautions, the actual losses of the Thai army of Changzong and our troops in the "rain" of arrows were very small, but in the eyes of Mao Aiqi's army, the number of them who lost their armor and abandoned their armor was sharply reduced by half, and their morale was even stronger, and they rushed up in a swarm to beat the water dogs.

After a short confrontation between the two armies, Changzong and my Tai led two hundred remnants of the army to retreat, and Mao Aiqi's desire to chase was stopped by Ace, who arrived in a hurry.

"It's not normal! It's so abnormal!" Ace scratched his head, "Judging by their preparations, the people leading the troops should have calculated that they might be ambushed, but what is the matter if they run away in a fight? Is it a special trip to send people to the head? There must be something in this that I didn't expect......

Just when Ace was thinking about how to explain to Mao Aiqi, Changzong and my Tai took the soldiers and horses to kill under their own banner, not only that, but they also killed a team of men and horses in the mountains where Ace and they were hiding just now, and the banner was also the soldiers and horses of Xiangzong City.

In the face of the sudden change, Mao Aiqi was a little panicked, but fortunately, Ace hurriedly patted him on the shoulder, so as not to mess up the morale of the army, Mao Aiqi took the opportunity to approach Ace's ear and said beggingly: "Father-in-law, we seem to be surrounded by counter-surrounding!"

"It's okay!" Ace said with a look in his eyes, "Although we are miscellaneous soldiers, we have an absolute advantage in numbers, and we order the troops to form an 'umbrella' shape and use the tip of the umbrella to kill a bloody path." ”

Mao Aiqi nodded, and hurriedly went to give an order, but the mutation reappeared.

In the face of the bow and arrow attacking from behind, Ace did not use the ice wall defense, which seemed too ostentatious, and how could there be immortals in the war? So Ace only used a gust of wind to reduce the loss, which can be regarded as a miracle, and the miscellaneous soldiers were happy in their hearts and naturally relaxed their defenses.

The "dead man" who fell to the ground, after a rough inventory of the miscellaneous soldiers who cleaned the battlefield, found that all of them were scarecrows in armor, so they abandoned them and reported to the above as usual - after all, the commander will not care about these things, and it is not what the people below say - and then these are all war exploits!

At this time, with the shouts of the soldiers of Xiangzong City, three or two of the scarecrows that no one paid attention to moved!

There is straw in the armor, and there is a real person in the straw!--This is also what Chomune and I have learned since I heard about the "Scarecrow War" from my brother.

In the face of the enemy that appeared inside, the miscellaneous soldiers were a little helpless for a few seconds, but because they were miscellaneous soldiers, the clothing of the regular soldiers in Xiangzong City was too different, and they were quickly besieged to death.

This side of the formation has not yet formed because of that small commotion, and the enemy who has surrounded it has already arrived in front of it, and all that remains is - melee.

As Ace said, they have an absolute numerical advantage, so Changzong and my department Tai simply retreated when they saw that there was nothing to do, and Ace and they won another victory, although it was a miserable victory, but after all, they still won!!

Ace looked at the remaining more than 2,000 people, knowing that even if he returned to Anyi City, it would be useless, but instead gave the other party a chance to breathe, so he simply didn't do anything and didn't repair it and went directly to Gangfeng City.

Why don't you capture Xiangzong City first? Isn't Ace willing to seek easy things and find his own way to die?

Indeed, compared to Gangfeng City, it is much easier to capture Xiangzong City, but everything must be considered from the overall situation, how can Ace be limited to the gains and losses of one city and one place?

With this defeat, it is impossible to lure Changzong and my Tai into a field war, and the siege battle, with what Changzong and my Tai showed in this battle, Ace feels that he can't afford to be hurt!

Fortunately, the troops of Xiangzong City also suffered heavy losses after this battle, so that Ace did not have to worry about the future after "borrowing" the way, if the luck was good enough, and he encountered a small group of reinforcements sent by Gangfeng City and annihilated them, then the chances of victory were undoubtedly a few points greater.

Changzong Ibu Tai is a steady person, since it has been determined that Anyi City has been captured, he naturally has to report it to his brother, and Changzong I Yuan also sent reinforcements to this as Ace envisioned, but the difference is that Changzong and I Yuan are pouring out.

Can your younger brother come to ask for his help? If the enemy is "about to fight" and does not fight back, does he really have to wait for the enemy's troops to come to the city before taking action? Is the army used to waste food? Isn't raising troops for a thousand days just to use them for a while!!!!

The men and horses of the two sides met in the area of Shiomi Town near Okatoyo Castle, and the two thousand against the five thousand Ace side had no chance of winning, and Ace did not hesitate to let Mao Aiqi order the whole army to retreat.

When he retreated to Toishikawa, Chomune and Ibu Tai came out again, and he brought all the peasants with him like Ace, and lined up on the other side of the river in order to delay Ace's retreat.

"One wrong step, all the games are lost!!"

There is a very important reason why Ace gave up Xiangzong City and chose Gangfeng City, you must know that they have fought all the way, and those cities that have been captured are equivalent to empty cities, Ace originally wanted to use this as bait to make Changzong and my Yuan divide the troops to recover the lost territory, so that he could lead people to take the empty Gangfeng City first, and then break the rest of the troops one by one.

Now it seems that the victories of the past few days have made Ace a little arrogant.

"Let's go downstream!" Ace was not discouraged, "Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood!"

Victory is just around the corner, so how could Changzong and my Yuan give up? and Changzong and my Tai cooperated with each other to pursue Ace and his party on both sides of the strait.

The benefits of the miscellaneous army have finally been manifested, and the so-called "door plague" does not also mean that they "understand everything"? They are cavalry on horseback, gunners are firecrackers, and sailors when they enter the river, while although the troops of the Changzong family have cavalry, they are limited by the speed of the infantry, and they are reluctant to let them enter the river and are reluctant to wear that equipment, unlike most of the ordinary clothes of the Ace army.

The river was going to enter the sea after all, and the Ace army had no boats, and they swam with their hands in the Toishi River, and hundreds of people had already been lost and hurried ashore, and the troops of the Nagasho family appeared in the distance again.

There are pursuers in the back, and the sea in front, what do you think Ace will think?
