Chapter 22: A Failed Plan
It's strange to say, Qin Lan can be sure that this is definitely the first time he has really been on a cruel battlefield, but watching the dazzling flames of life pass away in front of him, he doesn't have any discomfort. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info all the nausea, vomiting, panic, and confusion that should occur...... Qin Lan didn't feel these negative emotions at all, maybe he had always had cold-blooded and belligerent factors in his blood. Qin Lan laughed at herself slightly, and then immediately focused on the light curtain in front of her.
Just now, when Qin Lan commanded all the summoned troops, an image of a holographic battlefield also appeared on his computer light screen, with him as the center, a cyan circular aura spread out, almost enveloping most of the battlefield. All the soldiers he summoned from the Three Kingdoms game all showed soft green points of light, while the Praetorian Guards belonging to Her Majesty the Empress were completely different orange points of light, and as for the enemy army, they were countless dense patches of red.
Among them, like Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Bao, they are larger points of light than ordinary soldiers, and they even have a small aura to cover a certain range. Qin Lan immediately understood that this aura was actually the effective scope of the command. Obviously, the higher the command, the greater the coverage area, and the more soldiers can command......
Looking at the dense red points of light on the periphery, although they were surrounded on all sides, all their generals were gathered somewhere in the east, and the small soldiers who were sent out now had no one to command and command, no wonder the attack was so weak.
Qin Lan had a clear view of the situation on the battlefield, and after entering the control mode, all the generals and soldiers under him also received this information at the same time, so before Qin Lan had no special instructions, the generals began to command the army in their own way, and what was even more wonderful was that they didn't seem to need verbal communication to know what the other party wanted to do, and Qin Lan also received this information.
The duty of the sword and shield soldiers led by Xiahou Yuan was to guard the central position and Qin Lan's safety, so Xiahou Yuan just dragged his big sword around the center of the camp, while Xu Rong drew all the archers from the sword and shield array, and they stood in the guard circle of the Praetorian Guard, and began to shoot indiscriminately around. Because the archer's shot in the same direction will certainly produce a strong deterrent, but it will also make it easier for the opponent to defend. The arrows thrown indiscriminately are unguardable, you hold the shield, no one shoots your side, you are tired, you don't lift it, and from time to time a few stray arrows fly over......
Zhang Bao's pikemen didn't know when, they had already wandered to the periphery of the defensive circle in groups of three or five...... The second wave of the enemy's attack had already rushed up, and this time the troops sent were much better than the previous ones, they were well-armed, most of them held semi-circular shields in their hands to defend against the heavenly arrows and the crossbows of the Praetorian Guards, and they also wore one or several pieces of armor on their bodies, and at this moment they shouted like a tide and rushed straight into the formation of the Praetorian Guards.
Compared with the relaxed freehand just now, this wave of attacks is much more tricky, one is that the number of troops this time is more than just now, and secondly, this time it is no longer a slave cannon fodder unit, but a real empire's standard infantry, although there is still a huge gap between the strength and the Janissaries, but the advantage of numbers makes up for this shortcoming, this hand-to-hand combat, more than 10,000 Janissaries are all covered in blood, most of them have broken out of fighting spirit, and more than 1,000 people have been reduced. Fortunately, there are still Xiahou Yuan's sword and shield men in the circle, and under the command of Xiahou Yuan, they make up for the defensive loopholes that the Praetorian Guard has fallen or have been broken, but fortunately, with them, the second wave of enemies finally did not attack.
It's a pity that everyone didn't even have time to catch their breath, the horn sounded again, and the third wave of enemy attacks hit again.
Qin Lan looked at the light of Zhang Bao's team strangely, they had been moving outside the defensive circle and didn't know what to do, but they were not noticed by anyone, nor were they attacked...... At this moment, the sky has been slightly brightened, and the morning light has been revealed in the sky. Qin Lan looked at the red dots of light that were still dense on the periphery and sighed. This time the crisis does not seem to be so easy to overcome.
Behind him, Zha Hongying, Qin Qing's three daughters and Lu Yun's little sister had experienced such a bloody battlefield, they had already squatted on the ground and vomited, and the dry food that they had eaten not long after eating at night and had not had time to digest was sent back to the earth intact, but even so, they knew the disadvantage of the war, and their eyes were full of confusion and helplessness. War, which was originally such a distant thing, is like a nightmare at this moment, suddenly befalling them, unable to get rid of it, lingering.
The same women, Her Majesty the Empress and the third princess Yun Xianglan are much better, although their faces are pale, they have been standing here watching the soldiers fight bloodily. It wasn't until the third wave of enemy troops appeared in their field of vision that there was a hint of panic in their eyes...... As the rulers of the Empire, they clearly understand the power of the Empire's hoplite legions. This is a formidable force that can compete head-on with the Orc Minotaur Legion, there are not many of them, but each member is an incomparably fierce monster.
The hoplite legion, dressed in thick armor made of stainless steel, and holding a two-meter-long heavy iron halberd in its hand, once charged, everything in their way would be easily torn apart. In terms of individual strength, perhaps the Praetorian Guards are much better than them, but on the battlefield, when they collide with hordes of hoplites, it will definitely be the Praetorian Guards who will die first.
Qin Lan glanced back at the empress, or she had other plans, but Qin Lan couldn't wait any longer, he had to find a way out for himself, instead of waiting for death here stupidly. Because at this time, Zhang Bao suddenly sent back the news, he had already prepared, and now it was time to launch a counterattack.
Then get ready to launch!!
Qin Lan silently gave an order in his heart, since the other party's generals are all in the east, then we will break through from the west!!
Walking back, he reached out from the ground and pulled his mother Cha Hongying, "I'm sorry, mother, for putting you in such a dangerous and cruel environment...... How's that, can you walk? We're leaving. ”
"Wait a minute, Qin Lan, what do you mean by leaving?" Her Majesty the Empress was discussing something with the old magician in a low voice, and Yun Xianglan behind her was in a very boring daze, but when she heard Qin Lan's words, she immediately asked nervously.
"I don't want to die here. Qin Lan glanced at her lightly, and it happened that the empress and the old magician also looked over together.
Her Majesty ...... didn't speak, but the old magician nodded. "So be it. ”
Qin Lan was inexplicable, but since they had no intention of telling him that they knew, he didn't want to ask, so he turned around and helped Zha Hongying to walk towards his soldiers.
"Wait a minute, Qin Lan. This time it was Her Majesty the Empress who spoke, and Qin Lan had no choice but to stop.
"Due to miscalculations and the presence of moles, our escape plan has almost failed so far. Reinforcements won't be here until the afternoon at the earliest......" The empress glanced at Qin Lan expressionlessly, and there was still a faint smell of domineering on her body, which made Qin Lan feel very uncomfortable. "At this moment, you are leaving, I have no objection, I can even leave all the soldiers to you to dispatch. ”
"Huh?" Qin Lan looked at her suspiciously, what does this mean?
