Chapter 1187 Breakout
"Order the crossbows and catapults to suppress the enemy indiscriminately. The left and right wings will gradually shrink. The Central Guard will act as the supervisory team and move forward!"
Arnubis had a mouthful of blood in his chest. He was not blind. At first he thought that the barbarian was a waste and was of no use. But after Graz and his personal guards went up, he finally realized that the opponent was a monster that could break through to the third talent at any time.
If this thing really breaks through and starts killing, their camp will probably be destroyed.
So Arnubis made a prompt decision, ordered the guards to withdraw, and then sent the barbarian troops up.
By the way, he decisively ordered the crossbows and catapults to launch an indiscriminate attack on the Red Blood Cavalry. He must use all means to destroy the opponent's spirit and force them to retreat.
As long as the enemy retreats and their fighting spirit dissipates, their central army will be safe.
"How about I take over?" Nareto asked casually. They had been watching for too long, and suddenly an opponent worthy of a fight appeared, and he was itching to fight.
"No, you can't move rashly. You can only keep an eye on your old enemy the Fiery Sun Cavalry. If you act rashly, they might attack our Royal Guards."
Arnubis refused without hesitation and sternly warned Nareto.
When the Soul Corps of both sides started fighting, the threat posed by the Fiery Sun Cavalry was infinitely greater than that posed by the Rose Corps. After all, the Fiery Sun Cavalry was still cavalry.
"Got it!" Nareto shrugged. Although he was not very proficient in politics, he had become the leader of the Military Soul Legion after all, and someone had taught him.
Moreover, when he came, Caesar specifically told him to obey orders and never act on impulse. The commander-in-chief must judge the scale involved.
After rejecting Nareto, Arnubis looked gloomy. The appearance of Yan Liang was an accident, which greatly interfered with his grasp of the future.
The future that he had originally observed leading to victory had become distorted, and this was not good news if it continued.
The Red Blood Knight, who has begun to free himself from the constraints of his own brain, carries with him tremendous power in every move.
Especially when Yan Liang was starting to get a little too excited, even though he had already discovered the attacks from the crossbows and catapults, Yan Liang still chose to attack head-on.
"Damn it, it's the Phantom Warrior!"
Arnubis looked at the blood puppet that was killed by the stone. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately realized what the hell Yan Liang’s army was.
But even if Alnubis knew, he could not change the Red Blood Knight's rampant attack.
“Die!”
The old soldier with red eyes swept his spear across with fierce force, directly killing the Roman soldier who was trying to block him !
The next moment, dozens of spears stabbed towards him. However, facing this scene, he did not show any fear. He let his rationality evaporate and entered the ultimate state of his violent talent!
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
With his shattered rationality and a body driven by murderous intent, only the final obsession to kill the enemy remained. The strength he unleashed directly allowed this old soldier to reach the level equivalent to that of practicing Qi into Gang.
Wherever the spears passed, Roman barbarians died one after another. The terrifying power made the old soldier feel like he was in an empty space. He rushed to Gretz, but was pierced through the body by several spears of Arnubis's personal guards and fell to the ground lifeless.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
Gretz looked grim, his defense was really broken this time.
If before , he could still explain it by saying that he was leading the barbarians, but now Graze understands that even if he brought his main force, he may not be able to fight against the group of lunatics on the opposite side.
Although the enemy had lost more than 2,000 soldiers, they did use the number of more than 6,000 to suppress tens of thousands of them. What was worse was that the enemy cut off the connection between the barbarians and the Royal Guards.
The Yuan family army at the north gate has begun to break out. Even if they repel the enemy now, the subsequent pursuit will be affected.
"General Yuan, please leave your name!" Arnubis seemed very angry, but he actually felt a little complicated.
Anyway, the city was taken, which was his credit, and the many barbarians who died were also his credit.
It can be said that he had made enough money from everything, so much so that Yan Liang was particularly pleasing to him.
However, Yan Liang's army alone was attacking him, and he really couldn't do anything about Yan Liang for a while, which made Arnubis very distressed.
Although he has made enough money here, he can't give up this face.
"Yuan family Yan Liang!"
The voice of Alnubis reached Yan Liang's ears, and Yan Liang's will, which was almost lost, suddenly woke up, and he instantly eliminated the interference in his will.
"Good warrior, I will remember you!" Arnubis raised his eyebrows and prepared to kill them. Anyway, the Yuan family had killed many of their Eagle Flag soldiers before, so he was taking revenge now.
He actually didn't want to take action, but Yan Liang was going too far and he would not be able to explain himself if he didn't do something.
At most, they could capture Yan Liang and then ask the Yuan family to redeem him. They still have information about Yan Liang. He was the backbone of the Yuan family, and killing him would not be a good thing.
"Retreat!!" Yan Liang felt a chill. His superhuman will made him feel the strong malice coming from Alnubis.
He understood that Anubis had murderous intentions, so he ordered the troops to retreat without any hesitation.
Arnubis was stunned. He thought Yan Liang was a fool, but he didn't expect him to be so tactful. Just when he was about to kill him, the other party tactfully slipped away.
"Tsk, that's good too, it saves me a lot of trouble!" Arnubis looked at the Red Blood Cavalry going away, it was good that the other party was sensible, so that he would not be targeted by the Yuan family in the future.
Perhaps it was the inspiration from his predictive talent, he always felt that it was better not to anger the Yuan family. He always felt that the Yuan family had some killer weapons, which might be very scary if they were used.
"The reckless thieves have already escaped. Don't let them attract your attention. Let's go after the enemy's large force!"
So with the mentality of "the less trouble there is, the better", he decisively led his soldiers to chase in the direction of the north gate.
While marching, he did not forget to use his talents to strengthen the barbarians' impression of victory, making all the barbarians focus on the fact that they had captured the city and won the victory.
For Alnubis, as long as the city is captured, it means that victory will become an unshakable fact in the hearts of the barbarians, as long as the Yuan family does not occupy the city again.
The mental suggestion he exerts on the barbarians will not be released, and these barbarians will become the most courageous soldiers.
They may not be good at fighting against the wind, but these barbarians are really good at fighting with the wind in their favor.
Although he broke through the barbarians' blockade with a wave of outbursts , the barbarians were like mad dogs, biting Xu Rong frantically from behind.
"How about we take action once?" Bai He, the current commander of the Lieyang Cavalry, asked hesitantly.
"No, it's not time for you to take action yet. The current situation is far from critical!" Xu Rong shook his head and rejected Bai He's request.
"The Rose Legion is a little short-legged. Even if I take action, they will not be able to counterattack, and breaking through will be much easier!" Bai He asked puzzled.
If it weren't for the fact that the commander was Xu Rong, the general's direct descendant and one of their own, he would have lost his temper long ago.
Carrying the power of the sun is not completely without disadvantages. At least their temper is increasing day by day. However, there is no way. This is the side effect of accumulating burning power. Before the burning talent is developed to the extreme, they cannot get rid of this negative impact.
"Once you make a move, it means the war will escalate. In fact, up to now, my opponent and I have been very restrained in command, and the current situation is still under our control. But if you make a move, the opponent will definitely improve its performance immediately, and I will follow suit at that time, and the war will escalate."
Xu Rong sighed. After the war escalates, the situation will no longer be what everyone can predict.
The opponent's talent is in the predictive system, which was exposed during the war with Yue Fei. However, judging from the current performance, the opponent has developed it down to earth and the new ability is very useful.
If a fight really breaks out, it will be hard to say who will win or lose. He has already made great sacrifices. If the other side is more serious, their sacrifices will be further increased.
Therefore, not only the Lieyang Cavalry could not attack, but also Zhang Liao, Ma Chao and others could not attack with their full strength.
The only one who could attack with all his strength was Gao Lan. Even Ju Yi's attack seemed to be on the edge of the bottom line, which was a very risky move.
However, compared to others, Ju Yi is the most suitable person he can find to serve.
More importantly, Ju Yi had taken action before, so Rome was mentally prepared. Ju Yi was responsible for covering the retreat, and even if a large-scale killing was carried out, it would not affect the tacit understanding between the two sides.
"Ju Yi, it all depends on you!" Xu Rong said silently in his heart.
"Report, General, a large number of troops are pouring in from the east gate, among them is suspected to be the Eagle Flag Corps!" The messenger once again brought bad news to Xu Rong.
"The thing I was worried about finally happened!" A huge stone fell from Xu Rong's heart, but it did not help the situation at all. Instead, it made the situation more difficult.
Rome would not kill them all, but it definitely wanted to bite off a piece of meat from them.
Just like what Sima Yi and his men did before, winning in a local area will not escalate the fundamental contradictions between the two sides, it will only be a minor friction at most.
The party that suffers heavy losses can only find a way out and swallow its anger.
As they were speaking, Lucius and Romulus roared and rushed towards Xu Rong, and the distance between the two sides had become quite close.
The moment the Roman soldiers flew forward, the vanguard arranged by Xu Rong began to advance rapidly, and the heavy crossbowmen in the middle level all raised their crossbows and aimed silently.
Different from the previous rough covering shooting method, Ju Yi now emphasizes precise shooting by teams of five.
They had no extra supplies while escaping, and crossbow arrows became very valuable supplies for the heavy crossbow soldiers. After all, from a certain perspective, they might not be able to obtain replenishment of relevant supplies at any time.
They were not the first to climb up and could use Cloud Arrows to attack. Their growth path was another channel, and they did not click on Cloud Arrows, which were something they needed in the last step.
Ju Yike couldn't stand the weak attacks in the early stages. Anyway, they had sufficient logistics and only needed to output violently.
However, in this icy and snowy weather, they only have a few pots of arrows with them, so they must use them with caution and not waste them at will.
The distance of three hundred steps was passed in a flash. At this distance, both sides could see each other's expressions. The ferocity and arrogance of the Wild Beast Legion and the evil and iron-bloodedness of the Demon Sword Soldiers were all reflected in the eyes of the heavy crossbow soldiers.
"Shoot!"
Ju Yi gave the order coldly, and then three sparse waves of arrows shot towards the direction of Rome. The three waves of arrows had different angles. Except for the first wave, the remaining two batches were very tricky, so that even a good player like Lucius could not dodge them.
"Repel them!" Xu Rong sent Zhang Liao and Ma Chao at the right time. After all, they were old rivals. It would be no problem for the Imperial Guards to fight against the Imperial Guards.
"It turns out you are not that strong!" Lucius roared and slashed at the wolf rider in front of him with a big sword. He hit the wolf rider's arm shield with a heavy blow, and directly chopped the wolf rider and his shield into pieces.
After being kite-beaten to death by the Wolf Riders before, after a head-on confrontation, Lucius found that although the Wolf Riders were a little stronger than them, they were still on the same level. He no longer had the previous feeling of powerlessness where he could only take a beating but not fight back.
"Whether we are that strong or not, answer with your blood!"
Zhang Liao looked grim as he used his sickle spear to block Lucius's sword. The opponent was very strong and ordinary soldiers were no match for him.
"Qi, it would be great if Marquis Wen and Gong were here!" Zhang Liao was a little annoyed.
He was trying to both command and fight at the same time, and he didn't do very well on either side. Although his tone was cold, he was completely at a disadvantage in the battle with Lucius.
If either Lu Bu or Gao Shun were there to take over the problem in any direction, he would not feel so uncomfortable, but unfortunately there is no if.
On the other side, Ma Chao was also entangled with Romulus. His soldiers were not complete and he had to rely on the wolf cavalry to help with defense.
The two sides were actually evenly matched in the fight. Ma Chao wanted to find a way out of Romulus's situation, but after fighting for dozens of moves, he knew it was impossible. This guy's vitality alone was enough to keep him busy for a year.
This is simply not a solution.
Fortunately, Xu Rong quickly sent out the signal to retreat, and while they were blocking the way, the large army had already escaped from the barbarians' encirclement by fighting and retreating.
"Hmph, next time, I'll show you what a real wolf rider is!" Zhang Liao glanced at Lucius coldly, then rode away.
Lucius wanted to give chase, but their short legs meant they could only follow behind the wolf riders and eat dirt.
