Ding Lin thought to himself, "Supply No. 0 will be of great use later. It cannot be used without the principal's personal approval. Is this kid crazy?"
Seeing Ding Lin's complete indifference, Marvin, feeling the huge gap, quickly said, "We still have two crossbows. Our reinforced crossbows can easily penetrate such a large shield. It's just that we are too few. Two crossbows won't be of much help against the hundreds of years of large shields ahead."
Ding Lin thought to himself: "Okay! I'll use the bed crossbow!"
Boss Cao was very confused as to why the Qinghe Army did not make any movement.
He didn't think the Qinghe Army was frightened by him. They were crazy! Any army that maintained a strict formation and slowly retreated couldn't possibly be frightened. It was Cao Dadang, who was almost exhausted carrying the shield, and the damned Qinghe Army kept retreating, keeping their distance. Simply put, every time Cao Dadang took a step forward, the Qinghe Army took a step back. When Cao Dadang rested, the Qinghe Army also stopped to rest. At this moment, Cao Dadang really wanted to test whether if he took a step back, the Qinghe Army would follow suit.
Unfortunately he didn't dare.
He was well aware of the quality of his troops. It was as if the entire team was watching him. If he retreated or ordered a retreat, he bet his men would flee without a single one left. Since ancient times, the ability to advance and retreat with ease was considered a strong army. For his half-baked team, the fact that they could even advance was considered a good thing.
"If I had my former elite troops at my disposal..." Boss Cao thought of his former soldiers and couldn't help but sigh. "My former soldiers couldn't move freely. They were often very capable in attack or defense, but they would collapse as soon as they heard the order to retreat. No one could stop them."
"Boss, please look ahead." The shouts of the personal soldiers beside him interrupted Boss Cao's recollection of the past.
There was indeed a problem with the Qinghe army's formation. I had advanced several steps, but the Qinghe army did not retreat synchronously, but stood still.
"Have they retreated to Hulukou? Impossible, this place is at least three miles away. It seems they know their space is being compressed, and they want to challenge us while they still have three miles to move."
Cao Da Dang felt that his judgment was correct, but there was still a full hundred steps to go. Considering Qinghe's powerful crossbows, this distance was not a good distance to launch a charge. "Five more steps forward, then throw away the shield and charge directly." Thinking of this, Cao Da Dang shouted: "Brothers, speed up, they have nowhere to retreat, let's push forward."
Cao Da's original plan was to shout three times, and have the guards respond three times, which would effectively boost morale. After all, the soldiers were illiterate and liked to follow the crowd. But the guards did not respond the second time as planned. Cao Da looked up at the guard captain beside him with some anger and confusion, only to find that he was looking in the direction of the Qinghe Army with a sullen face.
The Qinghe Army's formation gradually separated to both sides, and two crossbows were slowly pushed out.
