Chapter 391: The Instigator
Bloodsplatter!
The two sides directly entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat.
Compared with this group of cavalry, the fighting quality of the pack of wolves is not inferior, and in the face of the huge casualties that have just appeared, none of them flinched, still maintaining an offensive formation, attacking the enemy like a tide.
Although the cavalry had been in the battlefield for a long time, they had never encountered such a formidable enemy, and they had to switch from attack to defense while taking advantage of the situation. They formed a circular defensive formation and cooperated with each other to stabilize their position.
Seeing their performance like this, Li Zijun, who was hiding in the tree, couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up, they were able to complete such a complex formation conversion in battle and on horseback, and there were no major mistakes during the period, just by virtue of this, they had already won Li Zijun's respect!
After the cavalry completed the transition between attack and defense, the battle entered a stalemate phase, and the casualty figures of both sides rose rapidly during this time.
"Big brother, there are more and more wolves outside, and it's not a way for us to keep it like this, why don't we send a signal?"
"Our signal is for Edlaide, not for this bunch of brutes, wait!"
Li Zijun, who was hiding not far above their heads, felt a burst of pride when he heard the conversation between them, he didn't expect that in the eyes of this cute guy, he would be more terrible than these thousands of wolves, and he inevitably had a little vanity.
They wanted to wait, but the wolf king didn't want to wait any longer, he turned his head and nodded to the group of 'strong wolves' behind him, who were obviously much larger than ordinary timberwolves, and then turned his gaze back to the person in the crowd who defied its authority!
"Whew!" the wolf king roared again, his voice full of determination. The wolves are boiling!
With the addition of the 'new force', the wolves have changed the way they fight. They no longer target people, but instead turn their targets to the mounts beneath them.
It's not just their bodies that are strong in the 'new force'. There are also their brains, under their leadership, there are wolves in the pack to cover, wolves to attack, and wolves to sneak attack.
In this way, the huge superiority in the number of wolves was gradually revealed, and the defense line of the cavalry team immediately became precarious.
"Big brother, call for help, otherwise it's really too late!"
"Steady! If you want to become an excellent general, the first thing you need to do is to calm down! We have a secret weapon that we haven't taken out yet, so why should we urgently call for help?!"
"Secret weapon? Big brother. What kind of secret weapon? Don't sell it anymore at this time!"
"Brother, you have forgotten these high-level martial artists around us, as long as they let them make a move, the situation will soon be reversed!"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true! Tell them to help our warriors stabilize their positions, and remind them to focus on the strong-looking timberwolves. As it stands, they are the backbone of the wolves, and if we knock them out, the wolves will lose their 'field commanders', and our predicament will be reversed immediately!"
I have to say. This commander, who until now Li Zijun did not know the name of Lu Dao, did have some ability, and he saw an opportunity to turn the current unfavorable situation of the battle.
It's just that his ability is nothing more than that, and he is not a top-level general, because he has never been able to see through the essence of this battle. didn't even realize that he had become Li Zijun's target.
After the high-level warriors joined, the situation was quickly stabilized again, but their desire to break the 'backbone' of the wolf pack was not realized.
These 'strong wolves' are extremely intelligent. After they saw their companions being put down one after another, one by one they retreated back into the command of the wolves.
Facing more and more timberwolves. The high-ranking martial artists did not dare to cross the defense line easily, and the two sides once again fell into a stalemate.
Although there are still timberwolves that keep flocking here. But the wolf king himself knows very well that this is basically the strongest lineup he can muster, and those who come from behind can't play any practical role except for waving flags and shouting and intimidating the enemy.
The continuous increase in the number of casualties made the wolf king's mind gradually calm down, and after realizing that it was impossible to destroy the group of enemies in front of him, he had to start thinking about retreating.
Seeing that the wolf king had not made any new moves for a long time, the cavalry commander slowly guessed its thoughts, and thought that he would forge the legend of 'a thousand people defeating ten thousand wolves', and the pride in his heart was indescribable.
In order to add more talk to this legend, he kept showing off his archery skills in a very exaggerated way.
His coquettish performance rekindled the anger in the wolf king's mind, and he commanded his strongest men to strike at the position of the commander of the attacking cavalry.
"Just because you stupid wolves still want to hurt me, go dream!" he said as he walked forward, and before he knew it, he was only six or seven stories away from the wolves.
Don't look at the fact that there are not too many people in front of this commander, but there are more than a dozen high-level martial artists concentrated in this area, and under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the wolves to break through their defenses.
It's just that at this moment, due to the addition of one person, this is no longer a normal situation!
The person who joined was none other than Li Zijun! He had just slipped down from the tree while everyone's attention was on the periphery.
Since he was wearing the uniform of a Ziqing soldier, no one noticed that he was getting closer to the commander.
Seeing that this burning bun who didn't know whether he was alive or dead kept taking the initiative to move forward, Li Zijun, who was hiding behind him, almost laughed out loud!
"Big brother, big brother, you can't go any further!
"No," the commander wanted to say, 'It's okay,' but as soon as he said the word 'no,' he felt an unusually powerful force surging from behind him.
Caught off guard, he was pushed forward by this force, and the high-level martial artists in front of him all tried to hold him back, but because there were too many interferences around, they couldn't stop him from rushing to the front line.
Just then, a strong timberwolf rushed in front of him and pounced on him.
"Fireflies dare to compete with the sun and the moon?!Die!" The commander had a very strong confidence in his own strength, and he was not worried at all about facing the wolves directly.
His strength is good, and it was more than enough for self-preservation, but he forgot the most crucial thing, that is, why did he appear in this place inexplicably!
This omission was so important that it almost cost him his life in a daze!
At the moment when he was about to swing his sword and sweep, he suddenly felt that his body was weak, and the strength of his whole body seemed to be completely drained at this moment!
And what frightened him even more was that he took half a step forward uncontrollably, completely detached from the protection of the people around him, and it seemed that he wanted to shake the opponent's sharp wolf claws with his own flesh and blood!
The commander had no time to figure out why he had behaved like this, so he could only close his eyes unwillingly.
Just as the wolf's claws were about to enter his throat, he suddenly felt himself being gently pulled. Although this pull did not allow him to completely avoid the wolf's claws, it finally allowed him to avoid this catastrophe.
"General, General!" he heard someone calling out to him, as if he was very concerned about him, but he was sure that he had never heard this slightly childish voice.
"Who is he?" were the three words that kept flashing through the commander's mind before he fell unconscious.
The wolf king did not expect that the other party's lord would be accidentally injured at this time, and in addition to his surprise, he commanded the army to launch a more fierce and crazy attack on the cavalry. It tried to take advantage of the instability of the enemy's army to annihilate the opponent in one fell swoop, or at least to inflict heavy damage on this group of enemies!
For a time, the battlefield was full of flesh and blood, wailing and wailing, the forest was filled with a disgusting smell of blood, and stumps and broken arms could be seen everywhere.
Both sides seem to have entered a state of madness, and in their eyes there is nothing but killing and killing!
"My eldest brother must be treated as soon as possible! We can't wait any longer! Listen to my order: all of us immediately retreat to the battalion!" After releasing the distress signal, the adjutant general hurriedly ran to the unconscious commander, and saw that his face was getting paler and his breathing was getting weaker and weaker, and the adjutant general was in a hurry, so he gave this order regardless of losses.
"You don't care about anything, you are only responsible for taking care of my eldest brother, and you must not let him be harmed in any way!" The lieutenant general had an extremely close relationship with the main general, and before he led the team to set off, he did not forget to tell the bloodied soldier next to the main general.
"Yes, General!" the sergeant stood up and gave the lieutenant a standard Ziqing military salute.
The lieutenant patted the soldier's shoulder with a solemn look before turning and walking towards the front of the group.
Li Zijun looked at the back of the deputy general, and he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, he had finally passed the saddest hurdle! But then he snickered, this deputy general still didn't know what to say, he was the one who caused the main general to be injured! But let him take care of the main general, but he really found the right person!
Now, Li Zijun also doesn't want this master to make any mistakes, this guy's injury but not death is the result he wants to see the most, and only in this way can he have the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos to cross the camp and escape from this dense forest. Li Zijun didn't let him be buried under the wolf's claws just now, and it was also based on this reason!
The actual situation of the main general is not as serious as it seems on the surface, it was Li Zijun who secretly did some tricks and tricks that gave the deputy general the illusion that the main general was dying, and only in this way would the deputy general be willing to take the risk on the road.
Now it seems that Li Zijun has succeeded! The cavalry team has taken a difficult step in the midst of the wolves!
There is a huge difference between storming and defending in place, and more flaws will be exposed in the operation, and the price of these flaws is life!
The cavalry team has only advanced a few dozen meters, and they have already paid nearly 100 lives, and this is just the beginning......!
