Achilles, who was directing the troops from the front, was impressed by this well-trained style.
The Romans are indeed as powerful as they appear on the king's sand table!
In the face of such a powerful enemy, Wang used a mob of three million to annihilate more than 600,000 of them during the day!
If it were me, I definitely couldn’t do it!
Every advantage has its disadvantages.
Although the Murmidon warriors had superior weapons and armor, they had the upper hand in head-on attacks.
But once the enemy chooses to escape, those bulky equipment will greatly limit their pursuit speed.
After killing the last lone Roman soldier, Achilles could only look at the enemy fleeing north and sigh.
A rough estimate shows that there are still about a thousand enemies who have successfully escaped to the north.
Not being able to keep them all here became the biggest regret for Achilles and Odysseus and his companions who had already joined them.
"They can't escape! The king is so foresighted that he's already taken a group of people to the north!"
Seeing that the commanders seemed unwilling to give up, a soldier shouted a reminder.
What?
Wang took people to the north to intercept?
After hearing this, everyone finally noticed that the king had not appeared yet!
"How long have they been gone? How many people have gone?" Odysseus asked hurriedly.
"We've been there for more than half an hour. About a hundred people!" the soldier answered honestly.
Only a hundred people!
And it took so long!
Hearing this, the generals present became anxious.
We are so useless that we let so many enemies pass!
If the king is hurt because of this, no one can take the responsibility!
With this thought in mind, Achilles took the lead, dropped his spear and shield, took off his heavy armor, drew his dagger, and ran towards the dense forest in the north.
Then, Odysseus and others, as well as a large number of Stoic soldiers, also followed lightly.
While everyone was anxiously catching up, a big question mark arose in many people's minds.
How did the king lead a hundred people out of the fence?
If they had passed through the gap in the north, shouldn't no one have seen them?
Of course, Xia Zhe didn't go out through the gap in the north fence.
When he was about to reach the northern gap with a hundred people, Xia Zhe found that there were enemies blocking the way outside, so he quickly turned around.
Arriving at a deserted fence, Xia Zhe ordered his Murmidong warriors to chop with swords and axes. After several minutes, they finally dug a hole in the wall that was big enough for one person to pass through.
Then, about a hundred people came out one after another, and Xia Zhe led them to continue heading north.
No one understood the king's intentions, only knowing that he must have an important mission. No one dared to ask any further questions, and everyone just followed in silence.
Soon, everyone walked several kilometers.
Along the way, Xia Zhe discovered with dissatisfaction that the armies of those small city-states only dared to stay on guard in their garrisons in the dark and did not dare to come out to support.
There are still continuous blank areas in the forest, which are not guarded by anyone.
"This is outrageous! It's absolutely outrageous! I have to give them a good scolding! If they don't correct their behavior, don't send an army like this, which can only make up the numbers, to fight in the future!"
Xia Zhe muttered to himself, very angry about what he saw and heard.
However, having said that, Xia Zhe certainly would not really go to those small city-state camps to show off his power.
You must be kidding.
A large army came from the south and blocked the northern entrance of Wangying.
Time is so precious, why waste it here?
The existence of these camps can slow down the enemy's attack speed to some extent.
I better run away as soon as possible!
After exiting a forest, we came to a slightly narrow valley entrance.
Xia Zhe was a little tired from walking, so he found a rock to sit down and rest. Then, he heard the rustling of hurried footsteps in the woods to the south.
It seems that quite a few people are running towards this side.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The enemy has caught up with us again!" reported a soldier with good eyesight.
The enemy is catching up!
Hearing this, Xia Zhe was scared to death.
Didn’t we pass by several camps of small city-states along the way just now?
Why didn't the enemy bother with them but chased after them directly?
Why am I so unlucky?
Xia Zhe panicked and stood up quickly, wanting to run away.
Unexpectedly, in the darkness, he was in a hurry and didn't see the road ahead clearly. With a "bang", he crashed directly into a protruding rock.
The force of this blow was so strong that Xia Zhe saw stars and blood flowed down his forehead.
"Oh, the king is injured! Bandage him up quickly!"
Lillian, who had been following closely, screamed in surprise.
Then, she grabbed Xia Zhe and wanted to help Wang sit down and bandage his wound.
"Let go! Let go!"
When you are running for your life, how can you have time to sit down and bandage your wound?
Xia Zhe was so anxious that he kept yelling, trying desperately to shake off Lillian's hand and run away.
However, as a personal maid, Lillian is not comparable to the delicate princess.
Her grip was quite strong, and for a moment, Xia Zhe was unable to break free.
I could hear the enemy's hurried footsteps approaching.
Unable to catch his breath, Xia Zhe felt a buzzing in his head and fainted from anger.
It was only then that Lillian came to her senses, supported Wang, and slowly placed him on the ground.
"Wang is injured and fainted. What should we do?" Lillian asked anxiously.
"Before the king fainted, he kept shouting for defense! He must want us to guard this gap and block the Romans' escape route!" a soldier guessed.
