Chapter 211: Retreat into the Forest (These days make up for the previous days)

Xiao Xiaobing looked at the tragic situation of the lion army under the city in disbelief, and then nodded excitedly, "Big brother, obey!"

Although he knew that the arrows improved by Qi Tian could shoot very far, he didn't expect to shoot so far!

I didn't expect it to be so lethal!

And those archers were even more surprised, with smiles in the corners of their eyes!

In the past, they would tremble when they heard the name of the Lion Legion, but now they look at the rumored almost invincible Lion Legion, which was ruthlessly shot by themselves, and they simply shot more and more vigorously, and they can't wait to shoot out all the humiliation and fear in the past!

"Brothers, stop shooting, they're all over eighty meters away. Qi Tian looked at the archers who looked extremely excited, and he only felt funny in his heart.

"Boss, obey!" Several soldiers who were very close to Qi Tian looked at Qi Tian with adoration on their faces, and even changed their names.

In the past, when these soldiers, including their commanders, heard the name of the Lion Legion, an inexplicable fear would rise in their hearts, and even many officers would have the idea of surrendering voluntarily.

But now, Qi Tian, the young man who was entrusted by Lord Wang to protect Yunhai City, not only chose to compete with the Xiongshi Army face to face with full of courage, but also led them to defeat this undefeated myth!

Now, the word Qi Tian has become a god in the hearts of the city guards!

Even if Qi Tian asked them to die now, they would not hesitate.

Qi Tian took a few Xiao Xiaobing, took the lead, led a thousand cavalry, and chased after the retreating lion legion with great momentum.

The cavalry shouted desperately as they pursued: "We must not let them run into the forest to the north!

"We must not let them run into the forest to the north, or our arrows will not be able to reach them!"

.........

The lion legion, which was completely stunned, saw the dense pursuers behind them, as well as the arrows that were shot from time to time, and fled even more messily.

After entering the barracks, there were even several cases of stampedes, which in the past simply could not have been.

Today's defeat was too hard for them, and they were shot more than a thousand people without seeing a single enemy soldier!

"General, what are we going to do now?, their bows and arrows were shot too far, and we were killed before we could get into effective range!" asked one of the soldiers, looking panicked.

"General, think of a way, our camp can't hold it, we don't have a shield, we can't resist their bows and arrows!" said another soldier in horror.

The Lion Legion has always used mounted archery as a means of attack, and never thought that one day their bow and arrows would not be able to shoot others, so the entire legion did not even have a shield, only bows and arrows and scimitars.

"What are they shouting?" said Amond as he jerked past a soldier who had just fled into the barracks.

He vaguely heard the pursuers behind him shouting, but because of the distance, he couldn't hear what the pursuers were shouting.

"General, they are shouting, don't let us enter the northern forest, or their arrows will be useless. The soldier spoke in a trembling voice, apparently frightened by the city guards.

Amund's eyes lit up, and then his heart was settled, "Don't be afraid, let alone panic, although their bows and arrows can shoot far, as long as we enter the northern forest, their bows and arrows are useless, and the flourishing branches and leaves there will help us resist the arrows!"

When the time comes, we can use the scimitar of the steppe to kill them as much as we want!"

As soon as he shouted this, the hearts of the soldiers around him immediately settled down a little.

"Medic, take General Akbar, and we'll retreat north!" Amund roared, leading the way toward the dense forest to the north.

Qi Tian soon led the city guards into the camp of the lion army.

"Report to Qi Gongzi, the whole camp is empty, and they are running towards the northern forest. "After several soldiers searched the lion legion, they reported to Qi Tian.

The soldiers were thrilled, and for the first time they had entered the camp of the Lion Legion as victors.

Qi Tian smiled slightly, and turned to look at Xiao Xiaobing, "Well, that's good, continue to drive them into the northern forest." ”

The forest in the north Qi Tian once went to, and it was the forest where he raced with the Li family, and he killed Eagle Er.

Xiao Xiaobing looked puzzled, "Once they run into the northern forest, our improved bows and arrows will be useless.

The forest was so dense that there were so many places to hide that it was impossible to shoot them. ”

Qi Tian smiled mysteriously, "Who said I was going to kill them with a bow and arrow?"

-------

Amund's march was very fast, and he quickly withdrew with the remaining 2,000 cavalry into the primeval forest to the north.

After entering the dense forest, the soldiers of the Lion Legion felt a little relieved, and the team became orderly.

They rolled over and dismounted, and all switched to walking.

It is very inconvenient for highland horses to travel in this forest, and some places with dense trees are simply impassable.

"Set up a guard on the outskirts of the forest, and we use this forest as cover to wait for backup!" Armond had already sent a five-man squad to request reinforcements from the large army to the north.

By this time, a simple tent had been erected in the middle of the forest, and Akbar was being treated by the doctor.

Amund walked into the tent and asked anxiously, "How is Akbar?"

An elderly doctor raised his head, his hands were full of black blood, "Fortunately, the treatment was timely, most of the poisonous blood was withdrawn, and the general's body was strong enough, and he would be fine after resting for a while." ”

Amund's heart was at last much more at ease, and he only felt that he was still in heaven when he woke up this morning, and all he could think about was how to loot the city after it was broken, and how to ravage the delicate and fair-skinned women in the city.

But how did it take only a few hours to step into hell?

"General!" the soldier's voice sounded outside the tent.

"Come in. Armond said.

A soldier then walked into the tent with a bow and arrow in his hand.

"General, that's what they use. The soldier handed the bow and arrow to Amund.

Amund's brow furrowed, and he carefully observed the bow and arrow in his hand.

On the whole, this bow and arrow is no different from ordinary bows and arrows, except that the shape of this arrow is a little strange.

The arrows of a normal bow are flat, but this one is conical and has a spiral pattern carved into it.

"That's what they do?" Amund looked at it for a long time, stunned, didn't understand, can he shoot so far with this kind of bow and arrow?

"Yes, that's what they used with their bows and arrows. The soldier nodded in reply.

"What about their bows?" asked Armond.

He felt that it was not only the problem of the arrow, but also the article on the bow.

The soldier looked embarrassed, "This arrow was still found on our people." ”

Armond was stunned, and his face began to become embarrassed.

So far, their soldiers have lost more than a thousand people, but the other side has not even injured a single one, and it is impossible to find the bow of this arrow.

The battle just now was really the heaviest casualty in the history of the Lion Legion!

"General, that Qi Tian led the troops to surround us. Another soldier walked into the tent in a panic.

The entire army of lions would tremble with fear when they heard Qi Tian's name now.

Just now, under the city, the corpses of his companions covered with arrows are still vivid.

In the past, it was always them who slaughtered people, and the enemy would flee without a fight when they heard the name of their lion legion.

But it is inconceivable that more than a thousand people were killed without even seeing the enemy as they do today!

They didn't dare to rush in, and although they had gained momentum from afar, they were still no match for us in close combat!

As long as they dare to come in, we will come and kill one of them, just in time to avenge the great revenge just now!"

At present, such a defeat, if there is no credit to offset it, even if he can return to the Lion Empire alive, he will be executed by the Lion Emperor.

The Lion Empire would never allow such a crushing defeat!

-------

South of the forest.

"Tell Gongzi Qi that our army has surrounded the south side of the forest, but the number is limited, and there are not enough troops to besiege the north side of the forest. "A soldier came to report.

Qi Tian rode on the horse, looking very leisurely, and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, we are only two thousand people, and it is already very good to be able to surround the forest in the south." ”

"Big brother, are we going to rush in?" Xiao Xiaobing asked beside him.

Qi Tian smiled "haha", "Rush in, do you want to send them to death?" The melee combat ability of the Lion Legion should not be underestimated, they are tall and strong, and their strength is extraordinary, and we have only one way to die in close combat with them. ”

Xiao Xiaobing didn't understand, "Then what should we do?" Could it be that the eldest brother wants to besiege them and wait for them to run out of ammunition and food before making a move?"

Qi Tian shook his head, "That will take too long, I don't have that much patience, I'll get rid of them all today." ”

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding officers and soldiers were stunned!

In terms of previous victories, they relied entirely on Qi Tian's improved arrows, but now that the enemies are hiding in the forest, bows and arrows are no longer effective.

Although there are only more than 2,000 people left in the Lion Legion now, they are also very strong, and the last time the Lion Legion only used 2,000 people to defeat the 6,000 people of the city guard.

"What, you don't believe me?" Qi Tian looked at the expressions of the people around him.

Everyone didn't speak, but their expressions were obvious, and it was clear that they didn't believe it.

"Big brother, don't blame the brothers, although the sharp spirit of the Lion Legion has been frustrated by us at the moment, there are still more than 2,000 of them, and now they are hiding in the forest, and we don't know what to do. Xiao Xiaobing said with some embarrassment.

Qi Tian smiled indifferently, "Didn't you notice that a very important person has not appeared all this time?"

Xiao Xiaobing was stunned, "A very important person? Uncle Nine!"

Only then did he remember that since the start of the war, the ninth uncle in charge of the city captain had not shown up.

Qi Tian showed a wicked smile, "Order the brothers, set up a wooden fence on the periphery of the forest, and set up spears on it, if they come out, they will be stabbed to death directly." ”

Although Xiao Xiaobing didn't know what tricks Qi Tian was going to use to deal with the lion army, since the eldest brother said it, he didn't have any doubts, and immediately gave an order to his subordinate centurion.

When the long wooden fence was enclosed, and it was full of sharp spears, Qi Tian made a round, and then took Xiao Xiaobing and Bingfeng to run from the periphery of the forest to the north.

After the two came to the north of the forest, Xiao Xiaobing was suddenly surprised, because the places that the city guards couldn't enclose were already full of Qimen guards.

They had set up a wooden fence early in the morning, and on top of it were neatly mounted silver spears.

And Uncle Nine was standing majestically on the south side of the forest at the moment, and when he saw Qi Tian and Xiao Xiaobing running over, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Boss, have our little lions entered the cage?" Uncle Nine had a lewd smile on his face.

Qi Tian gave him a blank look, "What do you say?"

Xiao Xiaobing was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, just now he was still curious, why the boss shouted while letting the soldiers pursue, it turned out that he was deliberately guiding the lion army into the forest.

It's just that... What to do after introducing the lion army into the forest, he hadn't figured it out yet, everything could only wait for Qi Tian's final decision.

"Hehe, the boss will take action personally, there must be no problem. Uncle Nine smiled complimentarily.

"How's the preparation going?" Qi Tian looked at the forest.

Uncle Nine patted his chest, "The things that the boss explained, the old man will never make mistakes, and they are all ready."

Moreover, in order to attract people's eyes and ears and prevent them from discovering it, the old man wrapped the fuel in cowhide and hung it on the tree!"

Qi Tian glanced at Uncle Nine with praise, "Not bad, better than I imagined!"

Uncle Nine was praised by Qi Tian and was very happy, "It's all the boss's plan!"

Qi Tian glanced at Uncle Jiu, "As soon as it's dark, do it immediately!"

"Obey!" the people around him respectfully Qi Tianying said.

-------

In the forest.

"Tell the general that the enemy has erected a wooden fence outside the forest, and spears have been set up on it, as if to guard against our surprise attack. The soldier said to Amund.

"Hahaha," Armond laughed, "Assault? Only a fool would choose to assault!

After the large army in the north gets the news, there will be reinforcements to support it within five days, we only need to defend in this forest for five days, and after the large army supports, we will counterattack together!"

After hearing this, the soldier was also shocked, and the fear in his heart just now was swept away, and even a few wisps of anger appeared!

They were so embarrassed just now, which is simply unacceptable to the arrogant steppe lions, they must get all their lost honor back!

"Amundβ€”" a weak voice rang out.

Amund looked at the sound in surprise, only to see that Akbar had woken up from the coma, although his face was still a little pale, but his expression had returned to normal, and it was estimated that in a few hours, he would be able to regain his vitality!

"General Akbar, you scared me to death just now, but fortunately, you are already well, or it won't be long before we can kill back to Yunhai City together!" said Amund.

Akbar ignored Amund's politeness and asked directly, "What's the situation now, why aren't we in the barracks?"

Armond's expression was embarrassed, and his eyes began to wander, although the battle just now would have been the same defeat even if he was replaced by other generals, but he was the boss after all, and the main person responsible.

(Xiao Qi: The day before yesterday, I was seriously injured by drinking, and I have decided to quit drinking for a month and specialize in writing books!)
