Chapter 31 Retreat

"Everyone, let's break off!" After hearing this, all the officers did not show any surprise, after all, it is also common knowledge, the cavalry in a team usually serves as a forward, rear guard or winger, because the cavalry is the most mobile team in the army, and only the cavalry is suitable for this kind of task. On the other hand, if other teams are allowed to take on such a task, they will either annihilate the enemy completely, or they will not be on guard in time and let the enemy sneak attack. All the attention of the people was focused on the commander of the cavalry corps, listening to the next words, and receiving their own tasks.

"Time is running out, we don't have time to study the layout carefully, so everyone listen, I'll just announce the task once. Seeing that everyone did not react, the commander of the cavalry army nodded, and then said: "The first cavalry division, immediately take over the defense of the west gate, be sure to delay the enemy for three hours, let the main force withdraw from the city; the second cavalry division immediately take over the defense of the south gate, also drag the enemy for three hours; the third cavalry division immediately take over the defense of the north gate, also delay the enemy for three hours, and then all evacuate from the east gate to keep up with the large team." The 1st and 2nd Independent Regiments acted with the military headquarters and were responsible for protecting the security of the military headquarters, and after the other armies left, they left from the east gate, and the 3rd Independent Regiment was in reserve, which was on standby in the palace square and was responsible for supporting all sides in the battle. Do you hear me?" asked the commander of the cavalry corps.

"Clear!" replied to the all.

"Act now. After saying that, the commander waved his hand and told everyone to leave.

Kong Ming did not expect the shape to be so severe, but Kong Ming knew that once the army left the protection of the city, then the enemy would appear from all directions, if the retreat was not well organized, it would become a rout, then it would be up to luck, although Kong Ming knew that his luck had always been good, but it was indeed difficult to survive from this chaotic battlefield. And from the simple words of the military commander, Kong Ming also saw that what kind of retreat was there? It's just an unorganized rout, an army of more than 100,000 people, within three hours, evacuated from a small east gate, where is it so easy, even if you throw away all the materials and advance lightly, you can't leave, not to mention that there are still a lot of supplies, there are many civilians, and there are many unexpected situations, and there is no day to prepare smoothly, not to mention that there is still the Harvi army outside the city. In other words, this is an impossible task, and these hundreds of thousands of troops have been abandoned. With an inexplicable mood, Kong Ming returned to the stationing place in the regiment, and quickly brought the cavalry regiment to the palace, thinking that Kong Ming could bring the team here so quickly It is also a loss to the third cavalry regiment is a team that has just come in from the outside, without any drag, and has just come down from a battlefield, and all the people's fighting thoughts have not been loosened, so they can respond quickly. The rest of the troops are different.

When Kong Ming came to the palace with the team, the remaining guards of the palace were hurrying to take the things and large things that Xiang Tiancheng didn't have time to take away from the palace and put them in the space ring, but they thought that those were too low-level and didn't take too many things, and after they saw Kong Ming's team coming, one of the staff officers-like officers walked straight towards Kong Ming.

"Hey, let your people take out all their spatial rings!" he said coldly.

"Why?" asked Kong Ming faintly.

"Take it if you want to take it, there's so much nonsense? Get it out so we can take it all away. Although he was very unhappy with Kong Ming's answer, he still said his purpose, and in his opinion, he was a palace officer like him who was far more advanced than Kong Ming, but unfortunately, he didn't know much about the times, now is the time to escape, not the time to pull the family and lead the mouth, go as fast as you can, and Kong Ming's task is also to ensure that people like this kind of people escape, but he just wants to come here to show off, which really makes Kong Ming speechless. Kong Ming looked at him coldly, without saying a word, some of Kong Ming's subordinates were ready to take out the ring, but when they saw Kong Ming's appearance, they all quietly put it back, although the space in this ring is not very large, but the soldiers' clothes and food are placed in it, Kong Ming doesn't want the people under his hands to retreat with nothing with him. So he didn't pay attention to this person, after all, the two had no relationship with each other in terms of affiliation, and he didn't pay attention to his obligations. The man was very unhappy when he saw that Kong Ming ignored it, and shouted to Kong Ming with his finger: "Do you want to rebel?

It's a pity that Kong Ming still looked at him coldly and didn't move, in this case, Kong Ming really wasn't in the mood to have any kind of debate with this. The man saw that Kong Ming still did not have a trace of movement, and the anger in his heart increased, and he pulled out his sword and rushed towards Kong Ming, the distance between the two was not very far, but it was more than ten meters, he rushed to the front of Kong Ming, Kong Ming looked at him like he wanted to shout something, his eyes were still looking at him coldly, and there was still no word in his hand, but Kong Ming's hand was gone, a sword swung out, and a fighting spirit more than ten meters long directly crossed the person's body, flew forward, and then disappeared without a trace, sometimes, life can not be solved in a few words, but a sword can do。 The other guards couldn't help but pause in their hearts after seeing Kong Ming's actions, and several of the officers also looked very angry, but no one came, they threw some things that could not be loaded directly to the ground, and hurriedly ran towards the east gate, without formation, like a group of ordinary people. Subconsciously, Kong Ming felt that something was wrong, like the elite of the palace guards, there was no one to organize when they retreated, it was more like a rout, subconsciously, Kong Ming thought of Ma Cheng, The battle of Zhecheng, how similar the situation was at that time and now, this is the precursor of the rout, Kong Ming looked at the gloomy sky, the fate of the Chu State has come to an end, the Grand Duke fled without a fight, the minister only cared about his own family, and even betrayed the country for this, the general let other teams act as cannon fodder for his own lineage, the army has no fighting spirit, people have no fighting spirit, how to fight this battle. Thinking of this, Kong Ming couldn't help but sigh, although he could anticipate the battlefield, but he couldn't predict what those officials thought, mistakes, mistakes, if there is no accident, the so-called cover is just an excuse, just to let an ignorant team like Kong Ming delay the enemy's speed.

"Kate, come here. Kong Ming shouted to the magician not far away.

"What's the matter?" asked Kate.

"The wind of inquiry, the search of what is going on around us. ”

"How far?"

"Max!"

Kate took out a crystal from the ring, and after a spell sound, she slowly showed the surrounding situation in the crystal ball, there was no longer any army stationed at the west gate, and their actions were far faster than Kong Ming imagined, and when there was no army to take over, they had already retreated, and were running towards the east gate, and the same was true for the north gate of the south gate, and the street in the middle was crowded with retreating soldiers, a mess, mixed with some people wearing civilian clothes, the wide avenue became so crowded at this moment, where is the retreat, this is directly a rout。 The attentive Jin Qiming looked at it and said, "Regiment Commander, there doesn't seem to be a high-ranking officer among these people?"

"Wouldn't it?" said Deng Qichen.

"Not really!" said Kate.

"We have been betrayed!" said Kong Ming, "you see, the Harvey soldiers have slowly pressed towards the city from among the three gates, and they have not the slightest anxiety, as if they know the situation in the city very well. ”

"There are magicians here, and of course they know a lot about the situation here, so is there something wrong with this?" asked Kate.

"Of course, if they had a line-up like that two hours later, then it would have been no problem at all. But—" said Kuming.

"However, they reacted too quickly. No sooner had we arrived at the palace than they had already begun to force us. Jin Qiming said.

"Yes, they reacted too quickly, and that's the problem, we've been betrayed again, and this time it's probably a catastrophe!"

"It's really a catastrophe. Damn, if I can get out, I'm going to have to kill those birds. Deng Qichen said.

"This is the most difficult time I've been through so many battles, and I've lost without a fight. But no matter what, we have to break through here. Kong Ming said.

"How do you break through?" everyone asked.

"From the north gate, you see, the enemy is slowly approaching the royal city from three sides, but please note that they are slowly approaching, that is to say, they do not want their army to suffer too great losses, in other words, they have an ambush in the distance outside the east gate, and they are going to force all of us out of the city, only then will their losses be minimized, and only then can they take the royal city in its entirety. Kong Ming said.

"How do you know that they have ambushes at the East Gate?" Deng Qichen asked strangely.

"The standard way of playing is to lose one, if you can't guess it, then you can take a piece of tofu and hit it head-on. Jin Qiming said dissatisfiedly on the side.

"What do we do now?" Kate asked.

"Retreat!" said Kuming. Then Kong Ming deployed the task as fast as he could, leading the team directly towards the north gate.
