c_t; With the rise of Fang Ruitao's killing, he actually gave up the two weapons he had in his hand, and took out a long Mo knife from the chip space. The pen and fun www.biquge.info (s) put up the one-meter-and-five-meter-long Mo knife wheel, and all the surrounding Chagatai soldiers were cut to death. Fang Ruitao's whole body was covered in blood, the light blue trap armor was dyed red, and the blood slowly flowed down the Mo knife, and he stood at the head of the city like a killing god, making all the Chagatai people frightened.
Manpower is sometimes exhausted, Fang Ruitao is not a tireless machine, after slashing and killing hundreds of people, he can only be replaced to rest, but the invincible image of the legion commander is deeply rooted in the minds of every soldier of the Dragon Soul Legion, and it also takes root in the hearts of those Chagatai cavalrymen.
The battle continued, although the terrain was too narrow for the outnumbered Chagatai cavalry to take advantage of their numerical superiority. However, the Chagatai people could take turns to fight, but the Dragon Soul Legion did not have so many people, they were getting more and more tired, the consumption of battle qi was also increasing, and the casualties began to surge, Fang Ruitao had to go into battle again after resting for a while.
"Give the Third Legion a signal to launch a flank attack at once. Fang Ruitao said to Zhao Guoxian.
Zhao Guoxian immediately sent a signal, and several soldiers lit wolf smoke on the hill. The billowing black wolf smoke suddenly rose into the sky, and the thick black smoke could be seen dozens of miles away.
"Legion Leader, the Dragon Soul Legion has sent a signal, are we going to attack?" Gu Tong walked over and asked. [Download the full works]
"Let the fighters prepare for battle first and wait for my orders. Gu Chen, who was still unsure of his attention, had no choice but to give the order, and under his order, the soldiers of the First Division of the Third Army Corps quickly assembled on the mound.
"Your Excellency, it's the people of the Third Legion, they've begun to assemble. Tuoba Hong said loudly to Rui Tao, at this time he was also overwhelmed by the enemy, if there were reinforcements who could cut off the other party's return route and prevent the arrival of the other party's reinforcements, it would be much better for them.
"I hope Gu Chen can take care of the overall situation, otherwise we will have to retreat. Fang Ruitao sighed, he still didn't dare to have much hope, after all, Gu Chen's small belly and chicken intestines were famous, and now he already regretted blackmailing Gu Chen for a sum of money.
Seeing that the battle between the two sides became more and more intense, the entire pass seemed to have become a hell Shura field, where life and death battles were going on every moment, and people died every second, such a tragic fight even Gu Chen, who had been in battle for a long time, was a little frightened. In his heart, the evaluation of the newly formed army of the Dragon Soul Legion has secretly improved several notches, no matter whether the current front line is all the elites of the Dragon Soul Legion, at least these people are much stronger than his soldiers.
"Your Excellency forces have all assembled, should we charge now? Gu Tong turned back again, and he asked in a low voice. As a pure soldier, Gu Tong had a natural desire for battle, and at this time, looking at the fierce battlefield, he was already eager to try.
"We ...... Fall back. Gu Chen made this decision with difficulty, and he didn't want to do so, but the combat effectiveness of the Dragon Soul Legion really surprised him, if such an army stood on the opposite side of him, it would make him sleep, so he changed his original intention.
"Commander, this is an escape, and we will be in big trouble. Gu Tong was shocked when he heard this, and his enthusiasm for fighting suddenly cooled as if he had been doused with ice water.
"I'll do it, don't worry too much. Gu Chen didn't give him a chance to explain, and immediately ordered to speed up the withdrawal of troops. Although he was a little apprehensive in his heart, Gu Chen had his own thoughts. The Dragon Soul Legion is too strong, it is better to let them fight to the death before the Chagatai people, and when they are eliminated, the reinforcements on his own side are estimated to arrive, and then he can concentrate his forces to defeat the Chagatai people. When he wins the victory, escaping from the battle can also be said to be a strategy to lure the enemy into the depths, as long as he holds the power of the army and dies at the same time without proof, who dares to say irresponsible things.
"Commander, those bastards have withdrawn, and they actually did not send troops as agreed. A squad leader reported angrily to Fang Ruitao, obviously he had always regarded the Third Legion as a last-minute life-saving straw, and once this life-saving straw was lost, the soldiers were naturally a little resentful.
"Don't be in a hurry, this is in my consideration, order the rear team to transport the bodies and wounded of the brothers to the rear, the troops are ready to retreat at any time, and we go to the next line of defense. At this time, the pass was already in danger, and Fang Ruitao had to consider retreating and defending.
The Dragon Soul Legion began to retreat in an orderly manner, the corpses and wounded of the dead soldiers retreated first, and then the soldiers of each squadron under the leadership of the squadron leader began to retreat in batches, under the unified command of Zhao Guoxian, while Fang Ruitao and the strongest captains were in charge of the rear of the palace, blocking the road pursued by those Chagatai people.
Fang Ruitao had already ordered people to pile up the gate of the pass with earth and stones, and although those Chagatai people occupied the earthen wall, they couldn't open the gate for a while. The gate couldn't be opened, and those Dawan horses outside naturally couldn't enter, so they had to chase after them on foot, which reduced the retreat pressure on Fang Ruitao and the others a lot.
"Commander, will we be questioned by the military if we retreat like this?" Zhao Guoxian asked worriedly.
"It used to be, but it doesn't anymore because they have a bigger purpose. Gu Chen, as the commander of the Third Army Corps, was the first to retreat, and he fled without a fight, throwing friendly troops to the enemy, this crime is very big, and the military department does not care about us at all. What's more, I didn't want to escape, this was just a gradual resistance, and the military department couldn't say anything wrong with such a situation. ”
The crowd slowly retreated, gradually retreating hundreds of meters away. "Don't let those people run away, break them. The Chagatai soldiers who crossed the wall had already gathered a lot of people, and when they saw that Fang Ruitao had withdrawn far away, they chased after them.
There are a lot of Chagatai people, and they are not slow to run. Fang Ruitao had a lot of wounded, sick and corpses on his side, so the speed was naturally slower, so those Chagatai people still chased closer and closer, even though they didn't have horses.
"Retreat first. Fang Ruitao waved his hand and said to several captains.
"Legion Commander, let's stay, you can withdraw first. After hearing that Fang Ruitao wanted to stay alone, Tuoba Hong and other captains expressed their objections.
"Carry out the order, you retreat first, and I will catch up in a moment. Fang Ruitao's words were undoubted, and the captains had no choice but to obey the order.
The captains gradually retreated, and they distanced themselves from Fang Ruitao, but these people couldn't help but turn around and look in Fang Ruitao's direction.
