Lord of the Misty World

Chapter 231 Temporary retreat
"Military commander skill, long spear thrust."

Chen Dao charged forward with the Bai Mu army, stabbing with the spear in his hand, and the huge internal force mixed with aura turned into a huge long spear and blasted in front of the death warrior.

Under this move, the Death God fighters had no time to defend themselves, and were sent flying with one move. A large number of Death God fighters were crushed by internal force, and even more Death God fighters were blown away.

At the same time, the same is true for the mummy troops in the rear. Under the skill of a general, these soldiers were penetrated on the spot, exposing a gap to the Bai Mu army.

At this time, Chen Dao's Bai Mu army moved forward and entered from the gap.With the speed of the Bai Mujun, charging suddenly, the priests of the god of death who were being protected had no time to react before being rushed in front of them by the Bai Mujun.

Although these Death Priests were also at the Black Iron level, they only possessed certain priestly skills and had no melee combat ability at all. Facing the surprise attack of the White Grass Army, they had nothing to do.

The horses galloped past, and the five death priests turned into corpses on the spot. At this moment, they lost the control of the death priests, and the remaining mummies on the battlefield were stunned. The next moment, these mummies did not attack, but retreated one after another. Their speed and The speed of the raid is average.

"what's going on."

For a moment, seeing that the mummies around him were not attacking, Di Feng was stunned for a while. Although he didn't understand why, this was a good opportunity.

Without the harassment of the mummies, each army can deal with the Reaper Warriors with all their strength. Under the siege of the remaining Wolf Totem Army, the First Field Regiment, the Second Regiment, the Third Regiment, and the First Frontier Regiment, the number of Reaper Warriors is also declining.

"The priests are dead too."

The mummy retreated on the battlefield, and the Scorpion King who was fighting knew the situation.Seeing that only some of his death fighters were left on the battlefield, Scorpion King frowned, looked at Di Feng who was fighting with him, and muttered.

"Fortunately for you, next time I will completely crush you."

The death priest is dead, and only a few thousand death fighters are left. It is really possible to miss in the face of these enemies.

So, the Scorpion King ordered his troops to start leaving the battlefield, and the Scorpion King himself retreated back, following the Death Warrior troops out of the battle.

The mummies in the kingdom of the god of death are all undead created from corpses, and all of them are controlled by the high priest of the god of death.

Usually these mummies sleep in the temples of various places or in the central temple, and during battles, they will be handed over to the subordinate temple priests for control.

But if these temple priests were killed, then the high priest thought that the battle had fallen into a disadvantage, and there was no need for these mummies to be dispatched, so the high priest engraved orders into the souls of these mummies.

After the death priest died, the remaining mummies automatically left the battlefield, retreated as quickly as possible, and entered the nearest temple to rest.

Thus, this battle was won in this way. In Di Feng's view, this battle was unexpectedly difficult.

"Won."

Looking at the retreating mummy troops and the Scorpion King who voluntarily left the battle, Di Feng thought in his heart.

When Di Feng held back the Scorpion King, Di Feng actually couldn't beat the Scorpion King, so he could only guarantee that he would be undefeated for a short time. Di Feng's purpose was actually to hold back the Scorpion King, watching his troops defeat the enemy, and then Pull out a troop to assist yourself.

But Di Feng didn't expect that Chen Dao's Bai Wu army would attack all the way, behead the death priest and win the victory.

"call--."

At this time, Di Feng breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the corpses of humans and mummies all around, he sighed.

"it is finally over."

"The troops quickly cleaned the battlefield and counted the casualties."

It is not an exaggeration to say that this battle was a tragic victory. As the main force, there were almost only a hundred cavalry left in the wolf totem army, and they could no longer go to the battlefield.

For example, wolf cavalry and chocobo cavalry, because the mounts themselves are not easy to train, they will not be able to build an army for at least two or three years.

Moreover, more than 1000 ordinary infantry units were also lost in battle. It can be said that less than one-third of the entire wolf totem army is left at this time.

The same is true for the Second Field Regiment and the Third Field Regiment, and even the Baimai Army, which was harassing aside, has lost a quarter of its staff.

However, this time the battle loss was so huge, but it was not without gains. In this battle, more than [-] mummies were killed, and more than [-] Death Warriors were killed. It can be said that all the troops brought by the Scorpion King were crippled.

Because of the combat effectiveness of Qinghe's troops, the enemy will not fight again until they replenish enough troops. If this battle is won, Di Feng estimates that he will be able to buy at least ten days for his troops to recuperate.

After all, this time they killed [-] mummies and [-] elite Death Warrior troops in the first battle. If they come next time, the enemy will definitely need more troops. This will take a certain amount of time, and so will the undead troops.

And when the time comes, the border defense line will also be deployed, and it will be able to stand on top for a while, and spend a period of time for the territory.

After cleaning the battlefield, the troops collected the mummies and the corpses of the death warriors, and set them on fire. The armor and weapons were put away as trophies, and they were returned to the furnace for rebuilding.

At the same time, the troops also reported the casualties, and the situation was similar to Di Feng's expectation. The number of troops was reduced by more than half, and there were still a large number of wounded, almost all of whom were disabled.

Even the reinforcements of the follow-up field regiment will be reduced by about 500 people.

After cleaning the battlefield, the troops withdrew to the defense line by the river, and the third frontier defense regiment was stationed at the defense line. Di Feng led the remnants of the troops back to a county town behind.

This county is called Linhe City. As the name suggests, it got its name because it is close to the previous river. There are hundreds of villages and towns under the entire county, with a total population of more than 20.

Now the city has been turned into a county, and the militia and officials sent by Zhang Xiu are in charge. The large-scale conscription has begun, and the formation of local troops and militia troops has begun.

The weapons and equipment of the mummies seized this time were not appreciated by Di Feng's troops, but they were good weapons for the oppressed militiamen. All the tens of thousands of weapons and armor seized were given to the newly occupied five counties. .

After a day's rest, the units except the wounded were reorganized.This time, because Di Feng estimated that the other side would not wait too long, the troops would immediately replenish the recruits after eliminating the wounded.

And Di Feng's order has been sent to the rear, and the counties in Qinghe have begun to provide weapons and equipment, war horses, food and other materials to the front line.

The factories are also working at full capacity, working overtime to produce rune rifles, rune armor and rune weapons, and more bullets.

Before the enemy attacked, the Qinghe leader had to arm more troops, and through this battle, Di Feng also discovered the weakness of his Qinghe leader.

First of all, when the regiment-level establishment of each army is facing the enemy's large-scale operations, the full regiment of 300 people still seems to be insufficient.

Moreover, in melee battles, because Qinghe Ling has a rune rifle, he has a lot of long-range attacks, but his melee defense is relatively weak.

When the troops advance, a regiment must have a shield troop in front, equipped with rune shields, rune armor, and rune swords.
