Chapter 199 Retreat
Chapter 199 Retreat
Yan's roar did not scare away the magicians. They all took out their magic wands and attacked Nangong Jing.
The magicians have a strong tacit understanding. The magic they cast is the same every time, and the time it takes to release the magic is almost the same.
This means that even if it is just a small spell of the first or second level, the power released together is not small.
Although Nangong Jing is protected by armor, it doesn't mean that Nangong Jing is not afraid of pain.
When he saw the magic coming towards him, Nangong Jing subconsciously took a step back.
The Snow Dragon Ape appeared when Nangong Jing retreated. As soon as it appeared, it immediately launched a defense and resisted the magic cast by the magicians.
After seeing the Snow Dragon Ape protecting Nangong Jing, Yan no longer stayed where he was and used only magic attacks, but instead pounced directly on the magicians and started physical attacks.
If it was magic against magic, the magicians would not be afraid, but as for the physical attack, they were no match for the monsters.
Fortunately, they were numerous, and the magicians were divided into two teams, one team fought with Yan, and the other team attacked Yan.
Two fists are no match for four hands, and the same applies to monsters.
Yan's realm was not yet at the point where he could crush the magicians, so after the two sides fought for a while, Yan began to slowly fall into a disadvantage.
Seeing that Yan was at a disadvantage, Nangong Jing quickly called over Tongtian Tiger and Nether Wolf. With the three monsters together, the magicians were now at a disadvantage.
Seeing that the three-headed monster began to gain the upper hand, Nangong Jing finally had the time to spare and check on the situation on Xuanyuan Xingyao's side.
Nangong Jing saw at a glance that Xuanyuan Xingyao was injured. He frowned slightly and called out to the Fanjinniao.
"Xiao Jin, go treat A Yao and General Mao."
Nangong Jing originally only wanted to treat Xuanyuan Xingyao, but then he thought that this was not a good idea. General Mao and the others were obviously more seriously injured than Xuanyuan Xingyao.
The Fanjin Bird cried out at Nangong Jing, then flew over Xuanyuan Xingyao, General Mao and the others, casting magic to heal the injured people.
Feeling his injuries recovering quickly, General Mao subconsciously glanced at Fan Jinniao, and then gave a smug smile to Qiao Lingqi and the others.
Especially when he saw that Qiao Linqi and the others were covered in injuries, while he had recovered as before, he felt even happier.
Qiao Linqi also noticed the Golden Bird. He only knew that Nangong Jing was a summoner, but he didn't expect that he could actually summon the Golden Bird.
Seeing that General Mao and the others recovered quickly from their injuries, Qiao Linqi was jealous, but what worried him more was that General Mao and the others had become more difficult to deal with.
Before Qiao Linqi could recover from the frustration of General Mao and the others' rapid recovery from their injuries, he saw the magicians being suppressed and beaten by the monsters.
Qiao Linqi immediately sent people to support the magicians. You know, it is not easy to train a high-level magician, especially a magician with the same tacit understanding as these attributes. It is several times more difficult than training an ordinary magician.
Qiao Lingqi wouldn't feel bad if he lost some soldiers, but if he lost these magicians, he would be so sad that he would vomit blood.
The most important thing is that if these magicians are really lost, Qiao Linqi believes that within ten days, someone to replace him will appear in front of him.
And what awaits him is not a good ending.
"retreat."
Qiao Lingqi shouted in frustration.
Qiao Lingqi didn't want to retreat either, but the current situation was very unfavorable for them.
At the beginning, Xuanyuan Xingyao's two traps caused Fate to lose a lot of soldiers and horses, and also made them lose the initiative from the beginning and fall into a disadvantage.
In addition, because the formation was broken up at the beginning, Fate's magical advantage in tacit understanding was not fully utilized.
After several rounds, Fate was directly at a disadvantage. Retreating now could reduce some losses. If they continued to fight, Qiao Linqi was worried that they would suffer heavy losses.
Qiao Linqi wanted to retreat, but Xuanyuan Xingyao and General Mao would naturally not let him retreat so easily.
So the two men adjusted the formation of their troops and surrounded Fate's troops, making it impossible for them to escape easily.
Seeing that he was surrounded and had no way to retreat, Qiao Lingqi gritted his teeth and decided to break through at a single point.
"Attack the rear with all your might and try to break through a gap."
Following Qiao Lingqi's order, the soldiers began to attack in one direction.
Upon seeing this, Xuanyuan Xingyao personally led the team to intercept and ordered General Mao to lead a frontal attack. In any case, he was determined not to let Qiao Linqi and his men retreat easily.
Xuanyuan Xingyao personally took action, and not only ordinary soldiers but even ordinary generals were no match for him.
Seeing that his side was suffering increasing losses, Qiao Linqi had no choice but to use his ultimate move.
Qiao Linqi gave a look to a deputy general. After receiving the signal, the deputy general's eyes flashed with determination and nodded heavily.
The communication between Qiao Linqi and the deputy general happened in a split second, so no one noticed the little movements between them.
By the time everyone noticed, the deputy general had already self-destructed.
Yes, the deputy general directly activated his spiritual power and blew himself up.
He deliberately jumped into the soldiers and blew himself up. The explosion caused heavy casualties among the soldiers, and the originally tight encirclement finally had a hole.
After Qiao Lingqi found a gap in the encirclement, he immediately led his men to retreat.
In order to prevent Xuanyuan Xingyao and his men from catching up, he left behind nearly 10,000 soldiers to stop them.
These more than 10,000 soldiers and horses can be said to be abandoned.
Nangong Jing originally thought that these soldiers would feel resentful after being abandoned.
But I don’t know how Fate was trained. He clearly knew that he was abandoned and that staying would be a dead end.
However, these soldiers had no regrets and even risked their lives to stop the team from advancing. Some even resorted to exchanging their own lives to stop the team.
The soldiers who stayed behind to intercept were so determined that General Mao didn't want to continue chasing them.
Qiao Lingqi did not treat the soldiers as human beings and left so many of them to die. General Mao was reluctant to let them go.
There are more than 100,000 people on their side, and it is not impossible to chase them with only 10,000 people. However, with the way these soldiers are sent, they will definitely lose a lot of people first.
"General Mao, let's retreat back to the city first."
Xuanyuan Xingyao looked at the soldiers' red eyes and felt a little heavy in his heart. These soldiers of Fate were too weird.
General Mao was also a little uneasy at this time. He nodded silently and agreed to Xuanyuan Xingyao's proposal.
"Back to the city."
General Mao ordered.
Following General Mao's order, all the soldiers began to retreat back to the city in an orderly manner.
In order to prevent these soldiers who were treated as abandoned from going crazy, Xuanyuan Xingyao and General Mao personally guarded the rear. They only returned to the city after all the troops had withdrawn into the city.
Even if you are not afraid of death, no one would choose to die if they can live.
So when Shui Ling retreated, the soldiers that Fate left behind as death squads stopped going crazy.
But in just a short while, only a few thousand of the ten thousand soldiers left were left. You can imagine how crazy they were just now.
"Those Fate soldiers are too crazy! Are they really not afraid of death at all? Knowing they are going to die, they still stay here without any regrets?"
After settling the injured soldiers, all the generals returned to the government office to review the battle that had just taken place and to discuss what to do next.
As soon as we returned to the government office, someone started complaining.
No one said anything about General Liu's complaints, because they were also frightened by Fate's desperate attack.
Maybe Fate had many connections before, and they had never seen such a life-for-life exchange like today.
"Have you noticed that the eyes of those soldiers who were treated as abandoned pawns and delayed us are all red."
Xuanyuan Xingyao pondered for a while and then spoke.
Xuanyuan Xingyao's words startled everyone at first, and then they fell into deep thought.
No one had noticed it before Xuanyuan Xingyao pointed it out. Now that Xuanyuan Xingyao pointed it out, everyone thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.
"It seems like they're really red. If it were just one or two people, we could say they were too excited and their eyes were bloodshot. But if everyone is like this, they can't all be overly excited, right? "
A general touched his chin and said in surprise.
"Did he take some medicine???"
"Is there any medicine that can make people's eyes red? If there is, why would we wait until now?"
The man who guessed that the soldiers had taken medicine was refuted by another general as soon as he finished speaking.
"No matter what, Fate must have a secret, and we have to find a way to find it out."
General Liu said in a deep voice.
No one responded to General Liu's proposal because everyone thought it was nonsense.
Didn't they know that Fate had a secret? Everyone had guessed it when Fate had taken over several small kingdoms in less than two years.
Don’t they want to find out Fate’s secret? It’s just that they can’t find it out.
"We can put aside for now what secrets Fate holds. The most important thing now is whether we should pursue our victory and recapture the city that was taken by Qiao Linqi."
Xuanyuan Xingyao saw everyone arguing about what secret Fate was hiding.
With a bang, he placed the cup in his hand on the coffee table beside him, drawing everyone's gaze towards him before he slowly spoke.
"Is it appropriate to catch up now?"
General Mao thought about the crazy look on the soldiers’ faces today and was a little worried that if he chased them too closely, what would happen if the soldiers all went crazy?
"I know what you're worried about, but Qiao Linqi has lost so many troops recently, he will definitely ask for help from the Fite capital. If we don't do something now, it will be even more difficult to retake the city after the reinforcements from Fite arrive."
It was rare for Xuanyuan Xingyao to speak so long in one breath.
His words also made everyone fall into deep thought.
Should we press on to win or not?
Retaking the stolen city was a huge temptation for Shui Ling's generals.
As generals of Shuiling, they let the territory of Shuiling be taken away from them, which was a great shame for them.
How could they not be willing to do so given the opportunity to wash away the shame?
But the soldiers' crazy look just now made them feel a little confused.
What if all the soldiers on Fate's side are like this? If they attack, can they really get what they want? Author's words: Thank you Bole 9492239 (9492239) for your support. Kisses! To know more exciting content, please leave me a message on Liancheng Reading.
