Chapter 155: Divide and Annihilate
Chapter 155: Divide and Annihilate
"Lord Raymond, we can't just passively take the beating like this! There are more than fifty of us, but now there are only more than thirty. If we continue like this, we will be killed by the enemy." The knight ran to Raymond and complained. More than twenty people had been hit by the enemy's arrows, and some were killed or injured. The loss was heavy.
"Chase the enemy headquarters and guard against these annoying rats." Raymond knew the enemy's tactics, which was not to fight him head-on, but to drag him to death.
"Chase." With the order, Raymond no longer passively took the beating.
"Lord Alpha, the enemy is no longer chasing us and wants to attack the headquarters of Gulomus." Gulis was in charge of long-range attacks and reconnaissance, and immediately discovered the enemy's changes.
"The enemy wants to attack Ancient Romans?" Alpha was stunned, and then a playful smile appeared on his face. "This may be a good opportunity."
"Gulis, you lead a team to harass and ambush the enemy. Remember, if you don't have an advantage in numbers, don't engage in close combat with the enemy. Tasli, you return to the headquarters immediately to fight the enemy, and we will also attack the enemy from the rear." After saying that, Alpha planned to take a detour to attack the enemy from behind.
"Lord Alpha, then you only have five people left." Tasli was worried about Alpha's situation, after all, there were too few people.
"It's okay, I still have Darwin to protect me. I'm just attacking the rear, the danger is small." The sky gradually darkened, and the darkness became the umbrella of protection for the Alpha team. However, Darwin was not a very competent bodyguard. After all, he was a magician, and his strongest point was attack. He was not able to react in time to emergencies.
"Let's go." Gulis took the lead, but they did not directly entangle the enemy scouts, but quickly approached the enemy's side.
The pursuing enemy soon noticed something unusual in the rear. Upon learning of the situation, Raymond immediately changed his strategy and divided the few knights into two to block the way of Alpha's pursuers, while the main force continued to pursue the enemy's large force.
In Raymond's eyes, if the enemy doesn't dare to fight in close combat, then their strength will not be outstanding. Even if the troops are divided into half, they can easily defeat the enemy or delay the enemy.
However, the strategy of dividing the troops was exactly what Alpha had planned, and the enemy gradually fell into Alpha's encirclement from both sides.
……
In the dark night, a team was quietly advancing. They were Raymond's soldiers, ordered to pursue a caravan. At this time, Raymond was full of confidence and believed that his army could defeat the rebels.
However, after several hours of pursuit, Raymond's army suffered heavy casualties, while the rebels were unscathed. The "rat tactics" adopted by the enemy made Raymond's soldiers exhausted and unable to hold on.
Raymond was at a loss, knowing that this would not work, so he decided to lead the entire army to take the initiative and split half of the troops to pursue the rebels' headquarters. He knew that this action was risky, but he knew that this was the only way out.
During the pursuit, Raymond's soldiers were constantly ambushed by the rebels. Each battle was very fierce, and soldiers were constantly killed or injured. Raymond was also slightly injured, but he still led the team forward firmly.
After a fierce battle, Raymond's side finally caught up with the enemy's headquarters. However, the rebels did not flee in panic as Raymond predicted. They had made full preparations and waited for Raymond's army to attack.
"Why haven't the troops in the rear come to support us yet?" Raymond discovered something unusual. The troops in the rear had not caught up, and Raymond himself had less than twenty people.
At the same time, Tasli was leading an elite team to prepare for the frequent attacks of the enemy, and nearly 20 people led by Guromas were also waiting for an opportunity to move. Even the five men brought out, even the weak Yuli, had strong fighting ability.
The battle on the other side was in full swing. After killing half of the enemy's manpower, Gulis and Alpha Team launched a fierce attack on the rebels from the front and back.
Although Raymond's soldiers were very brave, they were still defeated under the fierce attack of Alpha Squad, which was equipped with more sophisticated weapons and equipment and had stronger combat effectiveness.
After a fierce battle, Raymond's army began to collapse and fell apart in the blink of an eye, suffering heavy losses.
"Clean up the mess and get ready to go." The crowd dealt with the remaining bandits, took away the intact war horses, and quickly left the battlefield.
……
"Lord Raymond, where should we go now?" The situation took a turn for the worse, and at the current distance, it was obviously too late to ask Fields for help.
"The enemy is just a bunch of small fry, there is nothing to be afraid of. We should make a concerted effort to wipe them out." Raymond, who had never had a head-on confrontation with the enemy, obviously underestimated the opponent's strength.
"Charge!" Raymond took the lead in the attack.
"Fight!" Tasli was not afraid at all. Even though her troops were at a disadvantage, she still marched forward bravely.
The two forces clashed quickly, and as swords clashed, blood stained the hands of both sides.
Phils's small force was tough and even when they were at a disadvantage, they continued to fight hard against their opponents. In the fierce battle, death was inevitable.
In comparison, Tasli's cavalry is stronger. These people are well-equipped, more powerful, and have more combat experience. They can tell who is stronger with just a single encounter.
After the first encounter, Raymond's troops suffered heavy casualties, with a rough estimate of half of their forces lost. The situation was not optimistic.
"Everyone listen up, capture the enemy leader, we are still the winners. Even if we have only one breath left, we must make them pay a heavy price." Raymond was already bloody, and his body was covered in blood. He was not a coward. He thought that he could defeat them with just a few small soldiers and crabs? It was just a pipe dream. Although Raymond had not given up, he did not dare to confront Tasli head-on, and chose to charge directly to attack the enemy headquarters.
"Want to defeat us? What a joke." Hearing the harsh words from the other leader, Guromanus couldn't help but smile in his heart. Everyone can say harsh words, but whether they can fulfill them or not is up to God.
"Brothers, follow me! Kill all these ignorant guys!" Both Guromas and Hillier had murderous intentions towards the man in front of them.
Raymond turned around and looked around. There were fewer and fewer familiar people. He tightly grasped the spear in his hand, and his heart became more and more angry. I didn't expect to suffer heavy losses in a single encounter. Are these businessmen crazy? In this situation, we still want to fight them head-on. Don't they fear death?
The situation was very bad, but if he didn't charge, he would lose the battle. Raymond knew that he couldn't retreat at this moment!
"Follow me! Capture the leader first. As long as we catch Guromas and Hillier, we will win!" Raymond gave an order and launched another charge.
Raymond took the lead and after a few rounds, he came in front of Guromas. The two fought back and forth, and the fight was fierce.
Guromas couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what a fast speed, what a fierce attack! If he hadn't been so accomplished in swordsmanship, he might have become a dead soul under Raymond's sword.
"It's impossible to tell who will win between the two of them in such a short time. We must get rid of the others as soon as possible, otherwise the longer we wait, the more disadvantageous it will be for us!" Hillier said. The others nodded and launched a fierce attack on Raymond's men.
The people brought by Raymond were originally weaker than their opponents and only relied on their bravery. Now most of their attention was attracted by Alpha and Tasli. They could not withstand the fierce attack of their opponents and were quickly defeated.
"Lord Raymond, they are too strong. We are no match for them. What should we do now?" one of his subordinates shouted at Raymond. Raymond knew this, but now he had no way out.
"Follow me and kill them!" Raymond keenly realized that although the enemy was strong, the knights in the direction of Ancient Romans were obviously weaker, and this was the breakthrough point.
Immediately afterwards, Raymond rushed towards Guromas.
Guromas sneered: "You overestimate your own abilities!" After saying that, he slashed at Raymond with a sword.
Raymond dodged sideways nimbly, deflected Guromans' sword with his spear, and rushed to Guromans' side, stabbing him in the chest with a spear.
However, Guromas reacted quickly and turned his body to the side in time, barely avoiding Raymond's attack.
At the same time, Guromas swung his sword and slashed at Raymond's neck.
Raymond lowered his head in time, and the sharp sword energy passed over his head, leaving a shallow blood groove.
"Damn it!" Raymond cursed, then raised his spear and launched a fierce attack on Guromus.
Raymond kept stabbing Guromans' body with the tip of his gun, while Guromans blocked Raymond's attacks again and again with the sword in his hand and then launched a counterattack.
Raymond only felt that his arms were extremely sore from the intense movements, but he still did not give up. He knew that as long as he could defeat Guromas, there was still hope for this battle.
However, Guromas was no ordinary man. He saw the gap in Raymond's attack and instantly stabbed his sword into Raymond's chest.
But when Guromas glanced, he saw the smirk on Raymond's face. This alerted him, but it was too late.
Raymond suddenly turned around and launched a counter-attack straight at his opponent's chest. The speed was so fast that it gave people a huge illusion, as if Ancient Romans was running straight into the enemy's gun muzzle.
Guromas turned around quickly and tried to block with his sword. However, Raymond's power was too strong, and even though he blocked the attack, Guromas was directly knocked away by his opponent's power.
It turned out that Raymond had been deliberately showing weakness before. In fact, his strength was at least 50% greater than that of Guromas. Now that they were all concentrated, Guromas was completely unable to resist.
"My life is over." As his horse was knocked off, Romans saw the spears getting closer and closer, and he knew that his life was in danger.
"Don't be so arrogant." Tasli's support arrived in time, and her spear accurately hit the enemy's gun body, saving Guromas at the critical moment.
Then Tasli fought with Raymond. At this moment, Raymond tried his best but could not pose any threat to Tasli.
Tasri's fighting skills are standard, although she has no special moves, but she is comprehensive and has no weaknesses. She is as tall as a mountain, and she can stand firm no matter how fiercely the enemy attacks.
Unless the gap in strength is too great, or one aspect exceeds the limit, it is impossible to defeat Tasli.
Raymond became more and more exhausted as the battle went on, but the enemy was like a machine that never made mistakes, tireless and without error, which made him exhausted and nearly collapsed.
In the end, Raymond chose to retreat.
"withdraw."
