Chapter 937 Last Minute
With the high-speed retreat to the south, above the head of General Gore's mobile troops, the flying units of the demon reconnaissance are also becoming more and more dense. And this played into the hands of General Gore. He even excitedly took the initiative to contact General Anton - the main force of the demon race had been attracted to the south by the mobile force, so that General Anton could let go of the action.
And the remaining air knights and magicians of the mobile force were also strangled by the superior demons, and in the end, they could only send scout cavalry on the ground. In this way, General Gore seemed to be blindfolded, but he knew in his heart that the net opened by the demons was getting tighter and tighter.
At this time, Marshal Joset was also very anxious. On the one hand, this duel is a chess opponent, and there is a sense of exuberance, but on the other hand, the chess game is not over, although it has an absolute advantage, but it is always afraid of being suddenly overturned. So he made up his mind to destroy the easiest mobile force to get hold of. As for other goals, simply ignore them for the time being. And such a choice is exactly what General Gore wants.
However, when Marshal Joset's forces were deployed, General Gore's mobile forces could only face the tragic end of total annihilation.
On September 12th, the first demon army of nearly 50,000 arrived, and the two sides did not have time to form a battle formation, so they immediately fell into a melee. At this time, the mobile units were still playing relatively well, and by virtue of their numerical superiority, they still had the upper hand for a while. But when the second demon force appeared from the rear of the flank that afternoon, the defeat of the mobile force was decided.
In the battle just now, in order to get out of the entanglement as soon as possible, the mobile unit arranged its troops in a rather chaotic manner, and basically fought separately. And the newly arrived demon army has no such situation. They first spread out as a team, and were not in a hurry to throw themselves into battle. It was not until the formation of the troops was completed that they pounced on the mobile troops like tigers descending from the mountains.
Such a vigorous wave of attacks made it difficult for the mobile troops to support it. Fortunately, General Gore is relatively stable, and he is used to mastering a reserve force with a large number of people, and relying on this reserve, he can withstand the demon army in the other direction. But in this way, it is already difficult to get out of the battle.
At this time, General Gore was struggling to hold on, and he wanted to drag it out until it was completely dark. Under the cover of night, you can take as many people as you can!
However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and at this moment, a demon transformation army arrived on the battlefield again. And this time it was a direct attack, without the slightest pause. And the luck of the demons is also better, and the direction of the attack happens to be where General Gore is. This onslaught immediately disrupted the command system of the mobile unit.
In the ensuing battle, even General Gore personally killed the enemy, and the situation became quite critical. Luckily, Heidelberg had spotted the transhuman force just in time, and he rushed in with his own soldiers. Those soldiers from the Fire Phoenix Battalion fought desperately, and finally covered General Gore to escape from the siege.
Now, however, the mobile forces have finally gone and their chain of command has been completely paralyzed. But the battle did not end quickly, and although it was already a separate battle, the battle continued until the morning of the next day. It wasn't until another demon army arrived that the demons established a victory. The mobile troops are very tenacious, but in the face of absolute strength, there is only the fate of total annihilation.
In the end, there were quite few escapes from this unit, and only Heidelberg's division, which was more combat-ready and broke through as a formation, and luckily escaped with seven or eight thousand men. And General Gore was also in this division, and he also survived. I can only say comfortingly, the survival of the main general has not been completely defeated.
However, in the subsequent escape, General Gore was not much frustrated. He thought to himself, "I have finally created an opportunity for His Excellency the General!"
General Gore did completely mobilize Marshal Joset, so now there was a vacuum around General Overmars. On 11 September, the main force finally broke through the small plain, trying to force General Overmars into a decisive battle.
However, General Overmars is not reckless, a game that must be lost, there is no need to be brave. So he began to retreat in time, leaving only a force of nearly 10,000 people to harass, and the rest of the troops hurried back to the fortress of Selei. How much material can be moved outside the fortress, but if you stick to the fortress, you can always save the next part.
At this time, if the main force bites up, then those supplies outside the Selei fortress must be sad. But at this time, the fog of the battlefield actually appeared again.
When the Red Lion Grand Duke Van Bock burned the Lion's Tooth City, the steppe barbarians who thought they would reap the harvest were immediately angry. In order to vent their anger, they pursued the ranks of civilians who had withdrawn from Lion's Tooth City.
What followed was a human tragedy. Although there were a small number of Red Lion Duchy troops desperately guarding them, the team was still stripped away piece by piece. The loss of personnel has exceeded half, and it seems that it is another scene of total annihilation, but at this moment, a "supernatural event" happened.
The steppe barbarians suddenly stopped hunting, and they quickly withdrew at the sound of the trumpets, leaving all the remaining civilians behind? I didn't expect to have such an escape from death, it must be the favor of the God of Light!
In fact...... Maybe it has something to do with the God of Light!
Coincidentally, Marshal Joset naturally didn't really care about the life or death of the Selei Fortress. As an envoy, Venerable Harim had already rushed to the Barbarian King Hulei. The demons made a request: they hoped that the steppe barbarians would send troops again to help defend the Selei Fortress.
Then came the sky-high asking price of the barbarian king Hu Lei. They have lost the population of the Lion's Tooth City, and of course want to earn it back. The military situation was urgent, and His Holiness Harlem had no intention of negotiating. Therefore, when he opened his mouth to the lion of the barbarian king Hu Lei, he agreed without hesitation.
is so refreshing, and the barbarian king Hu Lei has no reason to delay. So he gave an order to the steppe barbarian troops near Lion's Tooth City, telling them to immediately march in formation.
And the Venerable Harlem hurried back to the Lion's Tooth City, urging the steppe barbarians to gather their troops as soon as possible, and accompanied them to the side of the Thunder Fortress. So the civilians survived...... (To be continued.) )
