Volume II, Chapter 81

The sound of horses' hooves in the distance was getting closer.

The slaves were pale, they didn't expect that they had just rebelled and robbed things, and the troops came from behind. No matter what kind of troops come, the slaves who have rebelled will definitely not survive.

The slaves looked at each other, and they all had expressions of wanting to cry without tears.

Suddenly, there was a cheer from the slave group, and Chatai turned his head to see a man rushing out of the crowd, it was Maru!

Maru snatched a horse from another slave, waved a flag in her hand frantically, and shouted loudly to meet the cavalry behind!

"Don't be afraid, everyone! I am an officer of the Ninth Legion of the Divine Alliance! The Demon Coalition has failed, and this empty barracks is proof of this!" and the voice of another Phantom Legion officer wasted no time in sounding among the slave soldiers: "The Supreme Commander of our Legion, Cohen. All slave soldiers can surrender to our army and become official residents of the Spya Empire, and the cavalry that comes behind is our troops. ”

The slaves were in an uproar!

In the advancing cavalry unit, a scout approached his commander.

"Report to the chief, there is a person waving the flag of our army coming towards you, do you want to stop it?!"

"Let him come!"

Moments later......

"Commander Hailt! Is it Captain Hailt? His subordinate is Lieutenant Maru of the Fifth Battalion of the Reconnaissance Regiment!" Maru shouted in an extremely excited voice and rushed to Hailt's side: "The battle situation ahead is in danger, you have to hurry!"

Hearing Malu say this, the tired Helt immediately had his eyes glowing: "Are you saying that Cohen and they are not dead, they are not dead?!"

"The chiefs are all right!" replied Maru in a loud voice, briefly explaining what had happened today, "We have been fighting with the enemy's main battle legion in the earthen city for a day. They were all extremely tired. In addition, the slave soldiers in the rear of the enemy army have rebelled. The prefect can take advantage. There are not many passages outside the city walls and they are very narrow!"

"Give you a battalion, and you will immediately go and agitate the slaves. Helt replied: "I adjusted my formation and prepared for the impact. ”

"Yes!" Maru led a team of cavalry and rushed towards the camp of the Demon Alliance, and arrived in a blink of an eye.

"Brothers of the Slave Legion...... My allied army has arrived!" Maru held a military flag in his hand and shouted on his horse: "From now on, it is our men who rush forward, and our enemies who retreat, and only those who move forward can live." What are you waiting for. Except for our sir, who on this continent can tolerate you slaves with a brand on your face!"

"yes...... Think of the slave who surrendered in front of the battle just now!"

"Listen to the ten movements of this cry for help!"

"In front of us is the head of our clan, fellow villagers!"

"Anyway, they all rebelled, follow Chief Cohen, you can eat and drink spicy!"

"This is the greeting gift for Chief Cohen......"

While the other officers were agitating among the slaves, Helt not only adjusted the shock formation, but also carried the news that Chief Cohen was safe. Suddenly, the entire cavalry unit thundered with joy!

The force led by Helt consisted of about 10,000 men in four regiments, and they were supposed to be on standby in the open sea. After losing contact with Cohen. Knowing that the situation was not good, Helt chose a secluded spot on the dividing line between gods and demons and forcibly landed. And began to look for Cohen.

They first walked more than 200 miles in the direction of Kop, then attacked and killed a demon coalition force that drove the refugees and grabbed horses, and it was only yesterday morning that Cohen's whereabouts were found at a supply depot.

When they knew that there were more than 300,000 enemy troops firmly encircling Cohen in the small earthen city in front of the Grand Canyon, the eyes of the 10,000 troops were red from top to bottom, and without saying a word, they killed them along the enemy's supply line.

Slaves were also in line. In front is the former master, the Demon Alliance, and the rebellious slaves in the camp lack the courage to attack, but look at the cavalry that rushed in with a shout in the back, plus the encouragement of others......

Cohen's officers broke down the big story into small pieces, and they used simple words to let the slaves know that they had to rely on one side of the two armies to survive, and let the slaves understand that they had rebelled, and the bowl of rice of the Demon Alliance would not be able to eat anyway......

Although the slaves were still a little reluctant and a little confused, they could only rush to Tucheng with strong spirits.

And in Tucheng, because Cohen carried out a fierce counterattack with the last man, the Demon Alliance had to invest the last of its forces. When he heard the news of the slave rebellion, the lieutenant general had no more troops to send to suppress it, so he had to do his best to hastily transfer back to the four regiments of the 26th Army Corps, with a total of 10,000 men, to guard his rear, hoping that these slaves would retreat without command......

However, the lieutenant general did not expect that there were still 10,000 light cavalry of the divine alliance behind the slaves, and under the iron hooves of the cavalry, the impact of the slaves was quite desperate - they could not escape, and they had to give the new master a greeting gift.

The slaves didn't know how to ride, but they drove away some of the horses left behind by the Twenty-Sixth Legion, and these thousands of horses took the lead and rushed to the defense line of the Demon Alliance!

How can the war horse distinguish between friend and foe? In an instant, the weak defensive line of the demon alliance army on the dozen or so passages in the city wall was completely scattered! The war horse continued to move forward, rushing past the troops supporting the demon alliance army, and rushed into the position.

None of the slaves who rushed behind the horses were relentless to the scattered demon soldiers, and they completely erupted the resentment that had been buried in their hearts on these hapless soldiers.

The lieutenant general led his men to surround the military flag and once again launched a stubborn defense. But this time, he needs to face Helter, who is in a state of rage, and Helter, who Cohen calls "a bandit in the army".

Helter, who led the team to rush in, did not waste any time, and a few rows of crossbow arrows sent the officers of the Demon Alliance under the banner back to their hometown, and he himself rushed to the city wall. Cut off the lieutenant general's head with a sword!

"The Divine Alliance will win!" kicked the enemy's flag. Helt held the head of the lieutenant general aloft in his hand: "Chief Cohen is invincible!"

The bloodied skull was wide with rage. The lieutenant general did not blink an eye.

"The Divine Alliance will win!, Chief Cohen is invincible!" more than 100,000 people shouted in unison.

This shouted from behind him, shouting that the demon coalition forces who were still fighting bloodily in the position were terrified, and the shouts made the morale of the god coalition forces who knew that they were going to die but were still struggling for their lives was greatly boosted!

The soldiers of the Demon Alliance have fully understood the strength of their opponents in these ten days of battle, and today's battle situation is turbulent and changeable, and they have survived by relying on the encouragement of the lieutenant general and the hope of victory. But now, the lieutenant general's head was raised on the enemy's spear, and there was an earth-shattering shout of killing behind him...... Although they are still struggling, they are becoming more and more powerless.

Watch the tide of battle change again. Gardnan, who was still leading the drum on the city wall, was full of joy, and he was about to yell to change the rhythm with a roar, but he opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his body immediately fell soft on the side of the drum.

After a long day's exertion, coupled with several huge emotional ups and downs, this frail and old body finally collapsed.

"Patriarch!" a close child rushed over and picked up Gardnan in the mud.

"Movement...... Fast...... The music of the hunt!" Gardnan looked at his children and shuddered, "Lead the drum rhythm...... It's a heartbeat...... To change, to change......"

Gardnam was the chief of dozens of tribes, and this hunting movement not only showed the way, but also served as a distinguishing friend from foe. Now it was fitting to command these blind slaughtering slaves.

"Yes!" the disciple wiped the tears from his face, grabbed the drum and began to lead the drum.

The drums on the walls of the city began again. The trumpets are sounding in unison. The Hunting Movement directs the tide of battle, gathering the scattered slaves, pointing them in the direction of the siege and telling them the time to support the blockade. And Gardnan, who looked relieved, slowly closed his eyes after the music sounded.

The slaves were directed by the music to avoid the enemy forces in the middle of the clearing and fight their way into positions from both sides, while Helt's troops confronted the 26th Legion of the Demon Alliance, which had turned around and hurried.

The effect of the training of soldiers on both sides was once again demonstrated.

The 26th Legion of the Demon Alliance is a light cavalry legion, and the officers and soldiers are all good at cavalry combat, but they are not very good at infantry tactics, because the battle situation ahead is tight before dismounting and entering the battle. The Divine Alliance's side is different, as Cohen's subordinates, they are completely trained according to the conventions of the Dark Province army, infantry on foot, and light cavalry on horseback. Coupled with the well-equipped and fighting spirit, the opponent suffered enough as soon as he came up.

Before the battle was received, the impact forward of the Divine Coalition Army was shot by a burst of sharp arrows that slashed the head and covered the face, and the Demon Coalition soldiers who were hit by the arrows here were still wailing, and the Divine Coalition Army over there put up the strong crossbow again. The formation of the Demon Alliance was shot by waves of arrows, but the attack team of the God Alliance was inserted like sharp knives!

The soldiers on horseback shot their crossbow arrows and swung their broadswords at the enemy, swinging their daggers in a trajectory of death, cutting off their heads beyond the range of their swords. Although the soldiers of the Demon Alliance are still holding on, the slogan of "fighting to the death and not retreating" is getting weaker and weaker the more they shout.

There were not many demon coalition troops that could cope with the battle, and under the impact of the light cavalry, their formation was chaotic and their defeat was like a mountain.

The light cavalry, which had broken through the enemy's lines, did not stop, and they rode directly into the position. It is also deserving of the bad luck of the Demon Alliance, at the beginning of the war, they filled in those traps by themselves, and the earthen wall in the position was not very strong, first after the destruction of the battle, and then it was washed by the torrential rain, and then it was rushed in by the previous war horses and tossed, and it was almost down. Now the cavalry behind is rushing in, so what will the demon coalition army take to resist?

If they want to fight, the team is scattered and formed into a formation, and if they want to hide, they can't find a place for the broken walls, and the demon alliance forces in the position suddenly fall into a dangerous situation where they can't advance or retreat.

The Divine Alliance's side has changed greatly, originally Cohen was in a state of mind when he came out with people to kill, but who knew that the situation suddenly developed for the better - the banner of the Demon Coalition Army fell again, not to mention, the earth-shattering shouts were even louder!

In the ecstasy, Cohen commanded the staff officers, wounded soldiers, and tribal refugees who were originally bent on death to form a battle line again, and under the command of the movement, they counterattacked back with all their might, and successfully joined up with the rebellious Demon Alliance Slave Legion in the position!

After the battle line was consolidated, Cohen hurriedly explained a few words and waved his hand. With a staff officer, he ran back to the city wall.

"Gardnan, change the movement......" saw Gardnan lying to the ground. Cohen sighed secretly. stepped forward and pulled Gardnam's body up, hugged his left hand around his waist, and then put his arm on his shoulder: "Gardnan...... Let's fight together, and you'll see victory!"

"Give me orders! Surround the enemy. Cohen commanded loudly: "Drum begins!"

"Yes!"

When Cohen was surrounded, the total number of offensive troops of the Demon Alliance was more than 350,000, and there were still as many as 300,000 after the ten-day siege battle, excluding the slave legions and other auxiliary forces, the strength of the three main battle legions was nearly 140,000 before today's battle. One day down until now. At this time, there were still 50,000 demon coalition troops in the position...... It can be seen that the battle is fierce.

Cohen understands that if the 50,000 enemy forces are allowed to break out of the position and make a comeback, with the help of Helt and the rebellious slave army, he will have to shed his skin again even if he dies, and the combat effectiveness of the demon alliance cannot be taken lightly.

So - the enemy must not be given any respite!

And the composition of his current temporary army is complex, the mentality is unstable, and the structure is chaotic, and this attack must not be stopped.

Cohen knew that the rebellious slaves were timid and had little combat power to speak of, and that they would not be able to trap the enemy in any case with an ordinary formation. But the slaves' bodies and willpower are very flexible, so they just let them run, running around the demon coalition without stopping. The opening of the Demon Alliance's rush will be blocked by the people running behind it in the blink of an eye!

Through guò heralds and ten movements, Cohen kept his troops in motion. Moving around the enemy army, it was like a rolling torrent surrounding the demon coalition army, constantly impacting, dividing, and squeezing...... In the end, this army mixed with rebel slaves and tribal refugees finally formed a huge whirlpool, and firmly trapped tens of thousands of demon alliance troops in the center of the whirlpool!

Under the leadership of Major General Long Riya, the commander of the 26th Legion, the Demon Coalition launched more than a dozen breakouts of varying scales, but all of them were scattered and crushed by this vortex - the Demon Coalition forces were killed in the vortex, and in a few strokes, the rapid movement of the enemy was overwhelmed.

After Helt sent men to transport a large number of feathered arrows from the camp of the Demon Alliance, Cohen gave an order, and the catastrophe of the Demon Alliance came - Helt did not hesitate, he asked all the soldiers of his four regiments to pick up bows and arrows, and fired a volley fifty times at the besieged Demon Alliance!

"Sir!" Through the sparse rain, Carlos could faintly see a desolation in the distance, those were the Demon Alliance soldiers who were still breathing under the feathered arrows, he turned to Cohen and said, "Do you need to keep shooting?"

"For Gardnan......" Cohen looked at the old man who had been supported by himself: "Fifty more volleys!"

In the whistling of feathers and arrows, the music was no longer played, the troops stopped spinning in circles, and the whole battlefield gradually quieted down.

In the rain of arrows, the three main battle legions, six slave legions, and some other auxiliary troops under the second theater of the demon alliance army...... are no longer zài.

"Rescue the wounded, clean up the battlefield. Cohen carried Gardnan's body and went down the city wall: "Send wingman scouts and rangers to guard a radius of fifty miles, count the supplies of the enemy camp, and prepare to transfer!"

Under the silent gaze of countless refugees, Cohen personally washed Gardnam's body and changed into new clothes. Dozens of tribal leaders gathered around, their expressions solemn.

"Gardnan, don't worry. Cohen put Gardnam's hands on his chest and said solemnly, "I'm Cohen." Kaida will do what he says, all of your people can join my Dark Province, and your generations of exile are over, and I will never abandon them!"

The refugees wept all around.

"Clan leaders," Cohen turned and looked at the leaders around him, and said slowly, "Where do we go from here?"

"We have decided," dozens of tribal leaders said in unison, "I wish to follow Lord Cohen for the rest of my life!"

"Other nonsense, I won't say much. Cohen glanced at Gardnan again: "You immediately start counting the numbers, restrain the people, and we are ready to transfer." ”

"Also, you are to elect a new chief at once, and for general matters, you may contact my chief of staff. After taking two steps, Cohen turned back and said, "The rest of the dead are buried on the spot, and I will bring Gardnam's body back to the darkness." And tell these people to stop crying, we don't have time to cry!"

"Yes, my lord!" the tribal leaders knelt down to Cohen, who they had long regarded as the chief leader.

Cohen walked on a blank stride, his head spinning along the way. Although he won the battle, his whereabouts are a big problem.

All the way to the city gate, a large group of officers "pop!" and saluted, which interrupted his thinking.

"Report sir. Helt took a step forward: "The second wing captain Helt returned with four regiments!"

"Good. Cohen asked, "Casualties on the road." ”

"Report to the sir, one percent of the casualties on the road. Helter replied loudly: "The number of soldiers in this battle has been reduced by 20%, and the number of dead soldiers is less than 1,000." ”

"Got it, go down and take a break!"

"Yes!"

"Report sir. Carlos continued: "The battle report is out. ”

Cohen nodded- (To be continued......)
