Myriad Realms Free Mercenaries

Chapter 227

However, Tiance Army and Cangyun soldiers charged at full speed, and the front army of the Wolf Fang Army finally calmed down a little under the orders of the generals.

They all clenched their weapons and stood facing the direction the enemy was coming from, but it was too late for the whole team, and the morale... don't mention it, that thing basically doesn't exist anymore.

But at least he calmed down, and stopped running around, further disrupting the situation.

However, at this moment, a sudden order made all the efforts of the Spike generals go to waste.

"The general has an order to withdraw the whole army to the camp, and use bed crossbows and stone cannons to confront the enemy..."

"The general has an order to withdraw the whole army to the camp, and use bed crossbows and stone cannons to confront the enemy..."

"What the hell..." Those Spike generals who had managed to stabilize their positions had the intention of killing those orderly soldiers at this time, so they retreated at this time?Why did you go so early?
Shi Siming, who was on the general platform, was already squatting on the general platform at this moment, holding his hair with both hands, his face full of frustration, and he almost moaned and said an order, "Cai Xide, after this battle, send those orders Kill all the soldiers!"

"Yes, General." Cai Xide gritted his teeth.

Originally, this order was issued by Shi Siming himself, so it is no wonder that the messenger was on top, but under what circumstances was the order issued?
It was when the opponent's metal storm was raging, massacring one's own soldiers, and the array was about to collapse. There was nothing wrong with issuing a retreat order under such circumstances.

However, at this time Tang Jun started to attack and the metal storm had stopped, so the best way to deal with it was to quickly form a team, stabilize the position, and fight with the opponent.

Even if it's too late to form a team, even if it's a scuffle, [-] versus [-], there's absolutely no reason to lose.

What's more, it was the front army that was in chaos, the middle army and the rear army were still in order. Even if the front army was slaughtered and the middle army and the rear army went up, they would still not lose. The crossbowmen in the rear could still cause a lot of casualties to the Tang army.

But when the order to retreat was sent at this time, it was tantamount to revealing the back to Tang Jun, and the only result was to be massacred.

However, the Tang army entered its own formation at this time, and could not use defensive equipment to attack the enemy, otherwise they would kill their own soldiers together, which would definitely chill the hearts of the soldiers under their command.

On the battlefield, if the commander loses his heart, it will be a disaster for the army. Let alone morale, it is God's blessing not to bomb the camp.

And those messengers only know how to convey orders rigidly, but they don't even have the most basic ability to judge the situation and adapt to the situation. What's the use of such subordinates?

Not to mention that Shi Siming wanted to kill them, even the generals who commanded the army would not let them go after they came back.

Sure enough, when the former soldiers who had no morale and no fighting intention heard the order to retreat, why did they care about other things?Immediately turned around and ran, for fear that I would be slow.

The rear army and the central army were originally in uniform, and they only needed to turn around on the spot, the rear team changed to the front team, and retreated to the camp.

However, when they were rushed by the ex-soldiers who were like bereaved dogs, even the Chinese army was implicated. Many people fell to the ground during the push and push. What should have been an orderly evacuation suddenly turned into a rout.

There are only three gates, and the width is no more than two feet. How many people can enter at one time? The 7 people were divided into three groups and squeezed into the three camp gates. If they entered in an orderly manner, they could evacuate smoothly.

But in this chaos, the soldiers crowded each other and wanted to escape back to the camp first, but it turned out to be a bad thing. Tens of thousands of people were crowded together. Once they fell to the ground in this situation, how could there be a chance to get up?
The Langya soldiers of the central army and the rear army were dragged down by the front army, and the soldiers trampled on each other, causing countless casualties, but at this time, the Tiance army and the Cangyun army had already crashed into the rear army, stabbing with long spears and slashing with long knives. , The Spike Army died in large numbers.

The threat of death from the Tang army further exacerbated the collapse of the Spike Army. The place where the Spike Army lined up was already 400 meters away from the camp, and this 400-meter distance became the road to death for the Spike Army.

After the rear army returned to the camp smoothly, the central army and the front army were completely mixed together, a mess, not to mention the formation, even the order no longer existed.

As a result, only a small part of the Chinese army entered the camp smoothly, and all those behind were crowded together, even blocking the gate.

Shi Siming and Cai Xide on the commanding stage were staring at each other. At this time, Tang Jun had chased and killed his defeated army to about 180 steps, completely within the range of the bed crossbow, but he did not dare to order the arrow to be released, because it would be too long. Our soldiers shot them all together.

But if this continues, Tang Jun is likely to follow his own soldiers and enter the camp.

"General, you go first! I'll stay here. We still have ten thousand cavalry and one thousand wolf cavalry. There are also nearly twenty thousand infantry entering the camp at this moment. You can bring them all back to Fan Yang and come back later."

"If the Tang army is allowed to rush into the camp, the formation of [-] cavalry will be scattered by the rout, and we will really be completely defeated by then."

"There are also masters like Yan Wangqing, Song Senxue, and Yan Yimei in the Cangyun army. Our masters have gone to attack the metal storm again. No one of us can stop them."

After listening to Cai Xide's words, Shi Siming's face was cloudy and constantly changing, his fists were clenched tightly, and his eyes were full of unwillingness.

He had clearly seen through the weakness of the metal storm, and he could win the battle as long as he withdrew his army, regrouped and fought out, but because of the stupidity of the messengers, the situation was completely out of control.

If I knew it earlier, I would learn from Tang Jun, and I would be ready to beat a loud gold and iron at any time. If the gold is called, the troops will be withdrawn, and there is no need to bother the drummer to beat the retreating drum.

Even if all the drummers are killed, if any one of us goes to Mingjin, we can achieve our goal. Damn, who would have thought that the other party would have the means to kill the messenger and the drummer from two miles away?
In fact, Shi Siming's defeat was unjust this time. He was not defeated by strategy and military strength, but by unequal information and weapons that shouldn't exist in this world.

In fact, it doesn't matter how the order is delivered, as long as it can achieve the goal, but when you encounter an unreasonable weapon like a sniper rifle, the difference will be big.

Just as Shi Siming thought, if the Langya Army, like the Tang Army, used the method of ringing gold to retreat, then any master who is not afraid of a sniper rifle can ring the gold iron and send out the order to retreat.

There will be no such thing as sending a messenger to pass an order, but the stupidity of the messenger will exhaust the three armies to death.

"Father, General Cai is right. As long as you are alive, you will have a chance to make a comeback. If you lose your life, you will lose everything. Let's go!" Shi Chaoyi also advised from the side.

Shi Siming closed his eyes and took a deep breath, patted Cai Xide on the shoulder, and sighed: "Don't break your heir, let's go together! But the food and supplies cannot be left to Tang Jun, so burn it!"

"Yes."

Cai Xide led his own soldiers to set fires everywhere, and burned all the food and grass, bed crossbows, catapults and other utensils in the camp, and then withdrew to Fanyang with more than [-] cavalry and [-] infantry along with Shi Siming.
