At this time, not only were the troops separated at both ends of the river and unable to take care of each other, but the soldiers' psychology was also at its most vulnerable.
If the enemy attacks at this time, the entire army will be in chaos.
All of this is reflected in the game data as a drop in morale and an increase in the chaos index.
If you want to cross the river and retreat safely, you must first eliminate the threat behind you.
How should I put it? He had already begun to harbor murderous intentions towards the previously insignificant 50,000-strong army behind him.
Su Younian ordered the main force of the army to continue advancing, while he personally led the cavalry to ambush in the woods.
If the enemy dares to continue chasing us, we will attack them from both front and back!
As a result, after discovering the large number of hoof prints left by the armored army, the enemy commander surrounded his troops outside the dense forest and refused to move forward.
They also planned to set fire to the forest, which made Su Younian, who was hiding in the dense forest, unable to move forward or backward and very embarrassed.
Fortunately, Lan Lin, the deputy commander of the main force, realized that something was wrong and immediately led a large number of infantry back to reinforce.
The other side retreated immediately.
Only then was Su Younian freed.
But he also fully understood that the other party was probably prepared to hold him back and not leave him any chance.
Su Younian set up several traps in succession, but they were all seen through by the enemy generals.
He was really angry: it was not that he was inferior to the other party in hard power.
It was just that the other party took advantage of his weakness that he was eager to get away and had little time left.
No matter how Su Younian used all his tricks, the opponent only needed to use the word "drag" to remain unchanged!
And the opponent is an NPC, in other words, they act according to data.
Su Younian understood that no matter what strategy he used, it would not be able to withstand the opponent's data calculations.
Now, for the 1.5 million soldiers under his command, time is the lifeline!
Thinking of this, Su Younian became extremely anxious.
Just today, the people on the opposite side shouted and neighed horses, and a group of soldiers came to join them. Judging from the flags, they seemed to belong to the demon subspecies.
This is a dangerous signal, indicating that more reinforcements may arrive at any time...
Su Younian's expression gradually turned cold.
The enemy's military strength now exceeds 50,000.
The leader of the demon army is called Bell, who is also the favorite thug of the opposing commander Billy.
At this moment, Bell suddenly woke up and sat up from his marching blanket!
He felt something was wrong. What was going on with that commotion?
"The camp is being raided!" At this moment, the guards beside him rushed in: "Sir, the enemy is attacking!"
"Who! Who is it!" Bell shouted sharply, "Is this the unit commanded by General Su Younian?"
He was in disbelief: Impossible! I had clearly arranged for people to closely monitor the local troops!
Even if the enemy mobilizes a squadron, it cannot be hidden from his eyes. How could he possibly attack his camp!
"I don't know, sir. They're coming from behind! Get up quickly! The enemy is coming!"
Bell jumped up and rushed out of the tent. He saw flames shooting up into the sky from the rear army camp. There were cries of terror and alarm everywhere: "The enemy is attacking the camp! The rear army is finished!"
Bell shouted anxiously, "Saddle my horse! Quick!"
But in this chaos, it was not easy for everyone to find their own mount.
In the darkness between the tents in the camp, people were bumping into each other everywhere.
Panicked soldiers ran around, spreading news that was more terrifying than the last: "All the humans are coming to kill us!"
"They're coming! We're surrounded!"
Everyone became panic-stricken.
The officers shouted: "Assemble! Assemble! Assemble to me!"
But they were unable to organize the army, deploy the battle formation, or even distinguish between friend and foe.
Groups of bare-foot soldiers and mounted soldiers bumped into each other in the dark night, and shouts echoed in the pitch-black night.
Bell was accompanied by only a dozen guards. He urged his horse to gallop towards the place where the noise was loudest. He wanted to stop the panic from spreading immediately.
They ran breathlessly, and in the darkness, someone was tripped by a hidden fence and fell off his horse.
The noise first sounded at the rear of the camp, where a huge fire had already broken out, and the military warehouse and supply convoys were engulfed in flames.
As soon as Bell arrived, he grabbed a panicked officer and asked, "What's going on? Where's the officer on duty? Tell him to come see me!"
"Sir, the officer on duty has been killed!"
Bell shouted angrily: "Who did it? The Suyounian troops?"
As he shouted angrily, he also felt a chill in his heart.
The troops that came to support some time ago have not found any useful clues so far.
Could it be those?
"Sir, it's not them! The attack came from behind us! It seems to be the human central army!"
Bell said in disbelief: "Central Army!"
He knew that there was a powerful human army there to provide strong support and defend the imperial city.
There were 100,000 heavy armored cavalry alone, and 50,000 heavy crossbows were also equipped.
This is also the reason why the demons do not act rashly.
Su Younian's small-scale advantage in the battle made the demon leader Billy start to be cautious.
At this time, the stable was already on fire, and the fire was bright.
Taking advantage of the firelight, Bell vaguely saw many human cavalry chasing and killing his subordinates.
The demon army, awakened from their sleep, bravely resisted the fierce attack of humans.
But the standoff didn't last long: heavily armed versus unarmed, it was like a massacre.
Bell angrily led hundreds of gathered soldiers and started a counterattack with shouts, but was soon beaten back. He tried hard to organize his troops twice, but was dispersed both times.
The enemy army rushed towards the central army like an unstoppable raging wave, and the central army's tents were burned down.
There was no stopping them! He began to retreat, and his retreat was accelerating. The ground was littered with corpses. The demons had no choice but to rely on bows and arrows to cover their retreat, and it looked like a complete rout was imminent.
Fortunately, at this time, the vanguard troops responsible for monitoring Su Younian's troops rushed back.
Because this force was on alert at all times, it was able to maintain relatively good order when engaged in combat.
Covered by the bows and arrows of their infantry, they pounced upon the enemy.
In the darkness, the cavalry of both sides fought fiercely in a group. The light of sabers flashed from time to time in the darkness, and then there were shrill screams and the sound of cavalrymen falling off their horses and rolling on the ground.
The two sides fought like two strongmen, you choked my throat and I kicked your lower abdomen.
The killing was difficult to determine.
Bell has regained his composure: the most important thing now is to quickly repel the attacking troops.
He shouted loudly, scolded the fleeing soldiers, and drove them back into the battle.
After much effort, he gathered many frightened soldiers around him. He commanded them to take their positions and rush towards their attack points.
Bell proved himself worthy of being the leader of the elite demons.
They had just been beaten, and as soon as they came to their senses, they immediately rushed forward fearlessly to fight!
The battle situation gradually tilted towards the demons!
Finally, someone came to report that the troops attacking the camp had been repelled and asked whether to pursue them.
Bell said calmly: "No need, we will retreat immediately."
The attack caused heavy casualties to him and his troops, and he was no longer able to follow Su Younian.
The other side has at least 150,000 troops, plus this mysterious attack team.
Bell didn't dare to take any risks.
In the darkness, a group of soldiers marched across the Gray River Plain, and in front of them was the brightly lit Central Army camp.
After the sneak attack failed, they reported the situation to Marigold.
Marigot shook her hands, her face looking very anxious.
At this moment, she has arrived at a place one hundred kilometers away from Su Younian, which theoretically can be reached in one day's march.
But a very troublesome thing happened.
Chapter 63: Game World (5)
The enemy, which had previously launched a pincer attack, sent over 50% of its forces.
As someone who has the "duty to protect the country", she must wipe out this army.
Otherwise, we cannot just move camp.
Su Younian stood silently on this nameless city and looked at the situation in the distance.
Torches were everywhere, covering the river banks and mountains as far as the eye could see, and countless fluttering flags were dancing in the night wind.
And you can see, in the distance, several long lines of torches, with no end in sight, rushing to gather overnight.
There are so many of them that even the stars in the sky are eclipsed.
A troop of the demon subspecies rushed back first, blocked the west bank of the Luo River, and cut off the communication between the Central Army and Su Younian's troops.
Wuming City was originally a garrison fortress belonging to the Geming Province.
Of course, this nameless city fortress cannot be compared with the Iron Wall Pass Fortress, which is known as the best on the continent.
The level of defensive fortifications is much simpler.
But as a fortress, it does have at least city walls and moats, although the walls are not very high or thick, and the moat cannot even drown a child.
After the Eastern Military District was directly defeated, the defenders voluntarily abandoned it and ran away with the residents of the city.
As a result, the city has changed owners many times.
And now, the newest owner of the fortress is the ragtag army led by Commander Su Younian.
Because the demon army arrived in time at the last moment and blocked the west bank of Luohe River.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for the legion led by Su Younian to cross the river and continue retreating westward.
In order to avoid the danger of staying in the plains with no strategic location to defend and being attacked from all sides, Su Younian had to withdraw his troops back to Wuming City.
Crazy preparations for war.
They were busy reinforcing the city walls and digging deep moats before the enemy arrived, waiting for that moment to come.
At dusk that day, some vague black shadows began to be seen from the west direction of Luohe.
The whole city sounded the alarm bells, blew the bugles, the cavalry prepared their horses, the infantry climbed onto the castle, and everything began to take its place.
There was complete silence at the front, with only the wind blowing the big flags, making a rustling sound.
The enemy troops were gradually approaching, and could even be seen with the naked eye.
This was the first group of demon horses to appear, and they were equipped with various weapons.
After crossing the Luo River, they swarmed in, forming a long crescent formation and surrounding them from the west.
The clouds of demon soldiers, the mountains of swords and the forest of knives were like a dark forest.
Countless fluttering flags covered the western sky and earth.
This is just an advance team composed of demon soldiers, led by the demon commander Bell.
