Chapter 463 "Someone Is Waiting for Her"

The Ganzhou soldiers were horrified to see that their men could not even get close to the black beast. The pistols held by the other side did not emit fire, and there was no obvious reloading process. Only continuous and dull bangs could be heard. Those who were hit were almost bloody and flesh flew everywhere, and they collapsed instantly! Moreover, this attack not only killed the front-line soldiers, but also those squeezed in the back would be affected, and several people fell at once.

Seeing that the formation was not safe, some leading officers simply wanted to lead their own men to go around to the back to surround the mechanical beast to see if they could find some opportunities in places that the Jinxia army could not see.

Unfortunately, the subsequent crossing teams have been continuously filled up.

The first thing these double-teamers ran into was the living dead.

Qianzhi took the lead and rushed into the enemy formation.

Seeing that a little girl who was not even ten years old appeared on the battlefield, most of the soldiers' first reaction was shock, and the second reaction was to kill - they couldn't beat the mechanical beast, could they not beat a little girl?

Even if they were air-sensors, women of this age were nothing to be afraid of!

However, the moment they fought, they realized that they were wrong.

Qianzhi put the ice on her body and collided with the crowd like an iron ball. The guns stabbed from all directions, but it was difficult to penetrate the layer of ice. None of the Ganzhou soldiers could stop Qianzhi's "bear paw". She didn't even need to jump up. She could break her legs with one palm. In addition, her body was small and flexible, so it was even more difficult to stab her neck and head.

"Wow!" "Ha!" Qianzhi shouted strange slogans, and her hands also punched in the rhythm of the slogans. Every time she shouted, a person screamed and fell down. In a blink of an eye, the Ganzhou army lost more than a dozen people!

"Monster, monster!"

"These guys are not human at all!"

"Where are the supporting alchemists? Where are they?!"

For a while, the hysterical roar filled the entire front line.

Some soldiers also noticed the changes in the rear.

"Look at the direction of the camp, the high slope is all on fire!"

"Hasn't the dragon been subdued?"

"Could something have happened to the commander-in-chief..."

Once the battle situation in the front is unfavorable, the negative impact brought by the various movements in the rear will be magnified hundreds or thousands of times. The 5,000 soldiers in the central army are already the most elite fighting force in Ganzhou. Among them are veterans who have retired from the border army of Leizhou. However, no matter how strong their willpower is, they will inevitably be shaken when facing a group of enemies who can't even fight back.

The team's spontaneous encirclement has stagnated. Not only that, the front line has begun to retreat from the top of the slope, which is a sign of the collapse of the battle formation.

Asshole, asshole, asshole!

Qi Duming cursed in his heart. The enemy's Qi sensor is harvesting his troops like a sickle, and the group of alchemists in the Privy Council have not been seen yet. What are they doing?!

This is my own The troops he brought with his own hands!

His heart was still bleeding.

According to common sense, when the central army was attacked by the enemy, cavalry should be sent to attack the enemy's flank. He did arrange a team of 1,000 people to wander upstream, but when he saw new mechanical beasts stepping onto the river on the other side, Qi Duming hesitated.

The Ganzhou cavalry were all light cavalry with limited impact force. It was hard to say whether they could interrupt the offensive of the Jinxia Army. Besides, this cavalry team was an extremely valuable mobile force. Once it was lost here, it would be difficult for him to compete with General Luan for the position of commander of Ganzhou.

Why did the Jinxia Army focus on Wangshandu!

If I had known this earlier, it would be better to choose Pingzhen!

During this hesitation, the morale of the front line finally collapsed, and the soldiers dropped their weapons and began to flee in all directions. Maybe there were only a few hundred people at first, but once the fear of war and panic spread, it would soon spread to the entire army.

"My lord!? "The deputy general waited anxiously for the general's instructions.

Qi Duming did not give the order to increase the troops in the end.

"We retreat."

He gritted his teeth.

Luo Bairen has not appeared yet, which means that he is also in trouble and is unlikely to take the army's situation into consideration. The enemy has only landed about a thousand people so far, and there is no horse, so pursuit is definitely not their forte. At the same time, it is not easy to deploy on the river beach. Only about half of the central army is fighting with the enemy, and the other half is still maintaining a stable formation. Timely withdrawal can greatly reduce the possibility of turning into a rout.

Of course, losses are inevitable. Retreating at this time is equivalent to abandoning all the soldiers who are fighting with the Jinxia Army in disguise, and it is normal to lose more than half of them in the end. This choice is nothing more than choosing the lesser of two evils. Defeat is better than annihilation.

"Where to retreat? Wangshandu?"

"No, that's just a small town, there is no defense at all, let's go back to Yecheng! "

Yecheng is also the nearest big city, with walls on all sides, which is very suitable for defense. Qi Duming didn't believe that the princess would chase him there - would she really rather swallow up this small number of troops and even give up the huge Shenzhou?

He had even thought about how to write the report: Although he lost Wangshandu, he tied up a large number of the Third Princess's troops and restricted her main force to the border of Ganshen. If Liuzhou and Qingzhou can quickly move south at this time and attack the Jinxia Army from both sides, they will surely win a great victory!

The sound of the horn sounded, and the reserve team in the rear immediately became the front army and turned around to run towards Yecheng. Qi Duming also threw the Qinglong sword to his adjutant, rode his horse to mix into the light cavalry, and accelerated the transfer to the west.

If the retreat of the rear army can be barely called orderly, the front line is a mess. A small group of troops did not hear the sound of the horn in the rear, and they were still trying to hold their positions, while more people were running away like headless flies. In a panic, many people ran in the opposite direction and jumped into the Lichuan River. In such a chaos, the factors that caused the greatest casualties of the Ganzhou Army were no longer mechanical beasts or air rifles. Pushing and trampling on each other were the main causes of casualties.

Ning Wanjun did not pursue the victory and kill all the way, but took out the megaphone and shouted-

For a while, the slogans of "surrender and surrender without killing, Jinxia treats prisoners well" came one after another and spread throughout the river beach.

This wave of persuasion to surrender immediately achieved excellent results.

As the objects of abandonment, the front-line soldiers had no idea of ​​continuing to die for their commanders. Immediately, a large number of them knelt down on the battlefield, and long spears and short swords were thrown all over the ground.

If it were before, Ning Wanjun might have rushed back and forth two more times, but now she has been influenced by Xia Fan, and always feels that the guys who gave up resistance in front of her are no longer enemies, but resources that can be used.

Of course, the princess will not care about cleaning up the battlefield. This round of pursuit is not over yet, and she must immediately engage in the next battle. Two quarters of an hour later, Ning Wanjun left a thousand people to escort the prisoners and guard the river beach, and continued to advance westward with fifty mechanical beasts and a thousand elites.

She knew that Xia Fan would be waiting for her in front.
