Chapter 377: Rescue, Embarrassment
The fierce battle continued, and on the slope of dozens of meters leading to the top of the mountain, every inch of the land was soaked in dark red blood, and the corpses that gradually stiffened were scattered and lying down, mostly Bran soldiers. Some of them had hollow chests, and they had not yet died immediately, and they twitched from time to time, and then a large iron rod fell from their blank sight......
Bang! Kicking on the barbarian's side waist, the detached body couldn't help but take a few steps back, the heavy sword was stuck vertically on the ground, barely stabilizing the staggering figure, this majestic man with the rank of Bran battalion commander printed on the cuff although his anger was undiminished, but he had reached the end of the strong crossbow, and his wounds were bloody and crumbling.
"Roar!" a barbarian not far away saw that there was a big bargain to pick up, and immediately roared, threw away his opponent, and pounced on him with a heavy sword. Ordinary barbarians don't have a good brain, but they know the rank of Bran and know that killing a commander is much more than a soldier.
The sparks splashed everywhere, and the heavy sword that was struggling to parry fell in an instant, slashing on the kneeling battalion commander's own shoulder armor, deeply embedded in it, and it was visible that the white bones of the forest were spurted out again. "Die!" The barbarian raised his heavy sword again excitedly, but just as he was about to fall, his body shook, poof, and his left chest was pierced by a heavy sword with the skin of the animal.
"Idiot, your opponent is me!"
The heavy sword hit the ground, and with a thud, the unwilling barbarian was kicked by his previous opponent, a young soldier, and rolled down the hillside.
"Battalion commander. Stretching out his hand to pull the strong man up, the young soldier's face was a little pale, and the blow just now was not easy for him, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay...... Yes!" snorted. The battalion commander pulled out the heavy sword embedded in his shoulder with all his might. Then he patted the young soldier on the shoulder nonchalantly. Grinning, "Rose, well done!"
"Hehe, it's that barbarian who is too greedy. The young soldier named Rose scratched his head and smiled a little shyly. Then he helped the battalion commander to take a few steps back and asked, "Shall we go back?"
"Don't retreat......!" responded without hesitation, gasping for breath. The battalion commander looked around at the surrounding battle situation, his soldiers were almost unable to hold on, and this front was in danger, "Pass my order and let the reserves behind!"
"Uh......" subconsciously looked back, and there were soldiers sitting on the top of the mountain more than ten meters away, and there were not many of them, only about 20 people, and all of them were injured, saying that they were in reserve. In fact, it was the wounded soldier who had retired before. But now is not the time to hesitate, Rose nodded. got up and was about to run back, but then his figure was stunned, his face was a little hesitant, and finally he turned his head and asked, "Battalion commander...... Reinforcements, will they come?"
"Yes, definitely! With a wave of his hand, the battalion commander looked firm.
"Yes. ”
But only if we can make it to that point...... Seeing the young soldier running back with a happy face, the strong man lowered his arm, and the corners of his mouth were filled with bitterness.
Time is too rushed...... They had encountered this group of barbarians last night, and after quickly judging that they could not get rid of it, he immediately sent his soldiers back to ask for help, and then also used the terrain to delay for a while. But even if the soldier arrives safely, the distance is enough to consume a lot of time. To be honest, he himself wasn't at all sure that the reinforcements would arrive in time.
But he is the battalion commander, and even if the team is really in a desperate situation, he can't make his soldiers lose confidence.
The twenty or so wounded soldiers were soon brought into battle, and the battle line was firmly restored, but everyone knew that it was only temporary. And when they fall into passivity again this time, they can't even retreat to the top of the mountain, and their lives will come to an end.
Despite this, the decision of the battalion commander not to retreat and send the remaining troops in his hands was also correct. There are no fortifications in the back, and if you don't fight here, but retreat to the top of the leveling mountain, it will turn into a one-sided massacre. In that case, it would be better to kill a few more barbarians here.
I looked at the direction of the checkpoint again, and it was still a rolling hill, and there was no sign of people...... Taking a deep breath, the smell of blood poured straight into his throat, and the strong man tightened the heavy sword in his hand, the disappointment in his eyes receded, and he regained his sharpness and firmness.
You can't retreat anymore, in that case, then let's die here today!
Half-lifting the sword, he stepped forward and opened his mouth to roar......
"Kill !!"
The earth-shattering shouts of killing suddenly sounded from behind him, and the anger was overwhelming.
I didn't shout...... opened his mouth, the majestic man was a little stunned at this moment, and then more than a dozen figures jumped out beside him, dressed in black armor, big swords, short blades, etc., with all kinds of weapons, and then soldiers wearing various armors and holding spears rushed out one after another. This...... What's the situation?
"Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming......"
The young soldier before had not yet found a suitable opportunity to attack, and had been wandering on the edge of the battle, so he was also the first to discover this group of divine soldiers who seemed to fall from the sky.
"Reinforcements are coming!"
This sentence was more effective than any restoration magic, and the exhausted Bran soldiers were overjoyed when they heard this, and their bodies seemed to be re-injected with a warm current, and the weak heavy sword was immediately wielded, and before the reinforcements could join the battle, they actually beat those barbarians to retreat.
Needless to say, these reinforcements are naturally the Gray Space and Frey's spear-breaking camp.
And the reason why it is pounced from behind is because although the slope behind the hill is steep, it is not suitable for fighting, but without interference, it is not a big problem to climb. The second is because the surrounding line of sight is open, and there is no chance for haode to sneak attack the barbarians, so it is better to save this group of Bran soldiers first.
Because of the suddenness of the appearance, these fifty or sixty barbarians were taken by surprise, and Frey's side was all a new force, and the spears were handed out in unison, and the barbarians had to retreat again and again. The more than 100 barbarians at the foot of the mountain finally came back to their senses at this time, and hurriedly roared and rushed up to respond.
Halfway up the mountain, all the forces of both sides made their first contact. Because there was no jihua in advance, the venue could not be used at all, and there were casualties among each other under the scuffle. Generally. Frey's side took advantage of it a bit. Seeing that the situation was not good, the barbarians did not attack, and after leaving behind more than a dozen corpses, they slowly retreated to the foot of the mountain.
The barbarians here were about to retreat, and the Grey Army soldiers did not pursue. Through the short battle just now, they can be regarded as experiencing the strength of the barbarians. Although he is not afraid, he also has to admit the combat effectiveness of the other party. This is not an opponent who can be defeated in one fell swoop by taking the opportunity to cover up, and being strong can only cause unnecessary casualties.
......
Bang, bang, bang...... Watching the barbarians retreat to the foot of the mountain, the zuihou who supported the Bran soldiers disappeared and sat down on the ground, gasping for breath. Halfway up the hill, there seemed to be a number of twitching bellows in an instant.
"Haha, God will not die in my heavy sword battalion...... xiexie, xiexie, where is your commander......" In the sound of daxiao, the strong man found Frey, glanced at the opponent's armor and cuff rank with a little confusion, and then raised his hand and gave a military salute, "Xiexie friendly support!
Xu heard the name of the Thunder Legion, and Frey smiled and returned with a military salute: "Bran's new gray army spear breaks the camp, Frey." ”
"Gray, Gray Coats ......"
......
There was a brief pause in silence, and the loud gasps around it fell silent.
Escaping death is, of course, something to be ecstatic about. But after learning that it was the former battlefield opponents, the Gray Cloth Army, rescued them, these Bran soldiers still couldn't help but have complicated thoughts and were awkward.
"Uh-oh...... It turned out to be the brother of the Gray Army. After a moment, the battalion commander named Elt Bran reacted, his face was a little strange, and he still smiled, "I heard that you were coming over a few days ago......"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a suppressed angry voice, it was the young soldier named Rose, "You are the Gray Army?"
Frey was stunned for a moment and looked at Elt: "This little brother is ......"
"You're the Grey Army!" the heavy sword trembled, and his tone became more aggressive, as if it had been confirmed.
The surrounding gray-clothed soldiers frowned when they heard this, and they were also a little angry. Originally, they were kind enough to come to the rescue. It's good now, but the rescued person questioned what the fuck is this......
"Rose, calm down!Without them, we'd be dead!" he snorted, looking at the young soldier's face flushed, but still stubborn, Elt shook his head helplessly, and waved his hand, "Come on, drag him aside first." ”
Several Bran soldiers forcibly dragged Rose away, whispering something. Elt spread his hands apologetically: "I'm sorry, his brother, well, he was killed in the battle with you before...... There is no other meaning, you can come to the rescue, and I thank the whole battalion on behalf of the whole battalion. ”
Elt's tone was quite sincere, which made the soldiers on Frey's side look slightly better. Although he may not have any good feelings for the Gray Army, as I said just now, now that they are indeed saved because of each other, the necessary gratitude still has to be done.
But despite this, the atmosphere of this scene still inevitably cooled down. After saying a few words, Elt went to see the casualties of the troops and organize the soldiers who could fight, and politely took his leave. Although Frey had expected such a situation to happen, his own side did not get the respect he deserved as a rescuer, and he was also quite depressed and nodded away.
"Bah, damn it, I shouldn't have saved these white-eyed wolves if I knew I wouldn't have saved them. Spat at the mouth hard, David looked at the Bran soldiers who had automatically separated from them, and said indignantly.
"You always have to take the first step, just make a good fate, it doesn't matter. Hehe, and they all say that they are white-eyed wolves, whatever they do. Casually replied, Tang Enke was not interested in paying attention to these rights and wrongs, and his eyes were always on the barbarians under the mountain, considering a question......
Barbarians should also be considered human, can they have blood when they are killed...... (To be continued......)
