Plane Merchant Fancy Death

219 Retreat

The next day was just dawn, and the artillery bombardment started on time again. Ye Junwen also had the attitude of training gunners and asked many people to go up and try. It was relatively fast, and soon the drop points of the shells began to concentrate where they hit the bombing place.

To be honest, these soldiers have never fought such an easy battle. Now they have the advantage, but they have paid almost no price. The war has started until now, except for one person who was injured last night (still because the gun exploded and caused the injury There is no loss other than that), the soldiers sometimes feel that they are not here to fight, but to train at all, which is too simple.

The situation in the city is indeed gloomy. Although the Duke of Celetto did not mention the night attack last night, the soldiers probably knew what was going on. The people who went out yesterday did not come back, and the artillery fire from the other side is still bombing today. , what else is there to say?Obviously the plan to destroy the enemy's weapons has failed, and then they can only be beaten, and then pray that the wall will not collapse, which feels like waiting to die.

This pessimistic future made the soldiers also feel emotional. They couldn't do anything at all, even if they wanted to fight the enemy desperately, because they couldn't see anyone at all. This unilateral beating was too bad.This kind of suffering made some soldiers start to regret a bit, regretting whether they followed the wrong person.

Many non-commissioned officers also noticed the changes in the soldiers. After all, the soldiers were the ones who complained first and foremost. So soon, the Duke of Celetto also got the news.Of course, the Duke of Celetto is also in a hurry, what should we do?Now that they have insufficient troops, they can no longer deal with these soldiers by military law, but what is the solution?
"Or, let's evacuate." Duke Celetto's staff suddenly said.

"Evacuate?" The Duke of Celetto was taken aback, "Where is the retreat? This city is the largest and strongest city in the entire kingdom. If we can't even defend this city, other cities will be even more unable to defend it. Isn't this still dead?"

"Your Majesty, didn't the elves send news that they are willing to participate in the war?" said the staff here.

"But... those elves are not trustworthy at all." The Duke of Celetto said, yes, the elves have contacted him, saying that they want him to fight hard, and their elves' troops are gathering, and they will fulfill their allies when necessary The contract, to help them.That's what he said, but even the Duke of Celetto knows that the elves cannot be trusted. Why should the elves help in the civil war of the human race? Fighting is to let them and Ye Junwen consume each other, saying that when necessary to fulfill the alliance contract, isn't it just to make money at the right time, the Duke of Celetto understands it, so he doesn't trust the elves.

"The elves want to reap the benefits, so we will drag them into the war." The staff here said, "Their troops will definitely gather at the border, and when the time is right, they will enter our territory and try to help us." Since we know the location of the opponent's troops, we will approach them directly to attract the coalition troops and let them start fighting."

"That is to say, we retreat to the west to attract the coalition forces?" Duke Celeto asked.

"Yes, as long as the troops of the elves and the troops of the coalition fight, we may find a chance to counterattack." The staff said.

The Duke of Celetto thought about it for a while, and this is also a solution. After all, if they stay in the city now, they just wait for the result of the city wall being blown down, and they can't do anything else.How long the city wall can last, I really don't know, because it is already tattered, and it looks like it may collapse at any time. Once there is a breach, if the enemy's entire army attacks, they will not be able to stop it at all.

Under the premise of waiting for death, it is not impossible to consider retreating. Thinking of this, Duke Celetto nodded slightly: ""In this case, we will continue to ask for help from the elves and ask the other party to join the battle. Withdrew on their side. "

Of course, retreating is also a matter of night. If you run like this during the day, is there any way to survive if you are chased and killed by the opponent all the way?Of course, it is safer to retreat at night.

It's a pity that the Duke of Celetto still doesn't understand what's going on now. Their surprise attack force was discovered last night. The Duke of Celetto just thought he was caught by the other party. They didn't even know that Ye Junwen had night vision at night. equipment.He felt that the other party would not be able to guess his plan. After all, the siege battle had only started for two days. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for them to give up the city so soon.

Ye Junwen really didn't expect this, and of course he didn't need to think about it. At night, the scouts came to report, saying that there seemed to be movement in the north of the city, a large-scale troop mobilization, and they seemed to be preparing to leave the city.

"Surprise attack for two consecutive days? This doesn't seem right." Hejiaer was a little strange. The other party seemed to want to attack them at night again, but the problem was that yesterday's night attack was completely wiped out. It is impossible to send another wave after sending one wave.

"Heh... I guess I want to run away." Ye Junwen said suddenly.

"Huh?" Hejiaer was slightly taken aback, running?This siege battle has only started two days ago, and the opponent voluntarily gave up the city and fled?Is this an exaggeration for some.But after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was possible. After all, this one-sided beating has no power to fight back. Indeed, retreat is also a way. "Running is possible, but which way to run?"

"Elves." Ye Junwen thought for a while and said, "Since the other party is retreating now, the target should be the elves. They must have reached some kind of alliance agreement with the elves, and now they probably want to join the elves. "

"I see." Hejiaer nodded. After all, the elves had come to see them before, and they seemed to have declared war with them.But after all, they haven't established a country yet, so this declaration of war is not yet official, but it is also a tear.

"Notify the whole army and pursue them." Ye Junwen waved his hand directly. Of course, he couldn't let the other party run away so easily, otherwise his own face would be lost.So with a wave of his hand, the troops started to move.

At this time, Ye Junwen's army was really exhausted. During the two days since the siege began, most of the soldiers in the army were resting. Yes, only the artillery unit was fighting all the time. Their infantry team was waiting for the city wall They were blown apart. After waiting for two days, there was still nothing on the city wall. They are now full of fighting spirit, and they feel that they have no place to express their energy.

Although it was midnight, the soldiers were all in good spirits. After receiving the order, the cavalry was the first to set off.To be honest, these cavalry didn't expect that they could be useful in the siege battle. They were all ready to dismount and go up the ladder with the infantry team, but it was their turn. This war is really wonderful. , Scenes that have never been seen before appear one after another.

Of course, Ye Junwen went to attack the opponent's troops without any concealment. The cavalry set off directly holding torches, while the infantry followed behind them. After the cavalry arrived first and broke up the enemy's formation, they went to harvest That's it.So this army was discovered very quickly. How could it not have been discovered? A long flame dragon was seen coming towards them from a distance. A 10,000+ army, this scene is very spectacular.

"The enemy is attacking!"

"How could it be! What should we do now?" The troops on the Duke of Celetto's side panicked all of a sudden. They didn't come out to fight, they were ordered to retreat. I didn't expect that all the troops hadn't come out yet. The enemy is coming to attack, what should I do?Don't say anything about the formation, they didn't even hold their weapons well.

"How is it possible..." Duke Serletto did not expect that the enemy would come so quickly. They all gathered quietly and set off. The enemy was still more than ten miles away. How could they discover their movements?Are there spies in their army?Although I don’t know what is going on, but the current situation is too late to say anything.

So the Duke of Celetto waved his hand and hurried to the west to break through, and the troops also rushed to the west in a hurry.However, the troops of the Duke of Celetto also had more infantry, and not many cavalry at all. After all, they participated in the siege battle before, without cavalry.The previous cavalry units were actually sent out in the previous war to support the Fifth Army, and they did not return.

Two legs can never run four legs, so Ye Junwen's cavalry team chased them for a while, and soon caught up with them.At this time, the Duke of Celetto's troops had no formation at all, and the troops themselves were already in disarray, so the cavalry didn't need to rush into the formation at all, they just divided up and collected the heads.

Of course, Ye Junwen's cavalry team couldn't see the position of the enemy's general in the dark. Ye Junwen originally ordered them to intercept the troops and let their infantry come up to harvest, but now the enemy has no troops at all, and they will disperse as soon as they charge. , They don't know who to intercept, so they can only cut it down in the end.

The battle was really chaotic, people on both sides didn't see the situation clearly, and the tactical arrangements were not well executed. Ye Junwen didn't expect the opposite side to be in such a mess.In short, the battle lasted until dawn, and by the time Ye Junwen and the others arrived on the battlefield, there were already a lot of corpses here, of course, basically all of them were the corpses of Duke Celeto's troops.
