Clang, clang, clang. Very quickly, the sound of the gong sounded from the rear of the imperial army. Yes, although Tomrash was extremely unwilling, there was nothing he could do. In the end, Li Huailin's order to retreat was carried out.
The sound of the gong stunned all the soldiers on the battlefield. Whether it was the imperial army or the rebel army, they were all stunned. Yes, the imperial army was the one to retreat. They now had the upper hand, and the rebel army was losing ground. Why were they retreating? It wasn't just the imperial army that didn't understand. Even the rebel army didn't understand.
They didn't understand what was going on at all. However, they were still the imperial army, and they still had the basic military discipline. They had to obey orders. If they didn't retreat after hearing the gong sound, they would still follow the orders. In addition, they had previously doubted the Marshal's order to attack. In fact, it had indeed given them the upper hand. This time, although they still couldn't understand the Marshal's order, most of the soldiers chose to believe in the Marshal.
To be honest, the rebel army soldiers heaved a sigh of relief. If they continued fighting like this, they might really be defeated. The situation was almost out of control. They didn't expect the other side to actually retreat. Although they didn't know what was going on, it really helped them. Even so, they didn't dare to chase after the imperial soldiers. They were in a mess and couldn't organize themselves at all. They only felt relieved.
The troops on both sides quickly separated. The imperial soldiers retreated with confused expressions, waiting for the next order. Meanwhile, Li Huailin's side was also thinking about how to lose.
"I really don't know what the f * ck is going on." Li Huailin couldn't help but say. He felt that he still understood strategy. It was hard to win a war, but it was easy to lose, right? How could such a messy command be able to gain the upper hand? Were the other side really eating sh * t? What should they do now? Li Huailin thought for a moment. The first wave of attack had caused the other side to suffer a loss. This meant that the other side might not be strong in a head-on fight. If they continued to charge like this, the other side might really lose.
Wait for the other party to recover, reorganize their armies and fight again, and then think of a way to send him away? Li Huailin felt that it was too troublesome. He was in a hurry. He couldn't really fight for such a long time. Li Huailin wanted to lose, but he wanted to lose quickly. It would be best if he was defeated in one wave.
As such, after thinking about it, Li Huailin felt that even if he had to make it more obvious, he had to make his side lose quickly. How could he make his side lose quickly? Of course, he had to use the simplest method, which was to forcefully reduce the number of soldiers on his side and expose their headquarters for the enemy to attack.
So, Li Huailin finished thinking and said to Tomrash, "Order half of the troops to detour from the east. The rest of the troops will continue to attack from the front."
"What? Detour from the east? "Tomrash was dumbfounded when he heard the order. Detour from the east? He knew about the tactic of sending troops to attack from the flanks. However, the problem was that the east side of the battlefield was covered with mountains. Where would they go if they detoured from the east? Even if they could detour to the back of the other side, they wouldn't have enough time. Yes, they didn't know how long it would take. Moreover, they had lost half of their troops from the front. How could they continue? It was completely suicide.
Speaking of suicide, Tomrash suddenly understood. Yes, this was really a suicide tactic. Li Huailin's original goal was to lose. However, he didn't expect his side to have the advantage. That was why Li Huailin gave the order. After thinking about it, he came up with this suicide tactic. He really wanted to toy with his troops until they died.
Although he understood Li Huailin's goal, he had no choice. He had no choice but to listen to Li Huailin in the current situation. But the problem was that they were his soldiers. The ones who died were all his men. His heart was really bleeding. After thinking about it, Tomrash said, "This won't do! What reason do you have to detour to the east? The soldiers won't be able to accept it. What if they discover your goal and start a mutiny … "
"Just tell them that there are enemy troops lying in ambush in the east." Li Huailin directly interrupted Tomrash and said, "Just make up a random reason. Don't tell me you're feeling sorry for your troops? What's wrong? Don't tell me you don't want to listen to my orders anymore? "
"Marshal Tomrash," Kandra said hurriedly. Yes, the two Saint-level experts had been present all along so that Tomrash could cooperate with them. They really didn't want anything more serious to happen. They couldn't take it.
"What the hell? Ambush troops?" Tomrash was so angry that his fingernails were stuck into his flesh. What nonsense was this about ambush troops? Where did this ambush troops come from? Li Huailin was obviously talking nonsense, and he couldn't do anything about it. He was really angry.
However, even though he was angry, it was useless. Very soon, Tomrash gave the order. Just like what Li Huailin said, half of the troops were to detour to the east. The reason was that Marshal Tomrash felt that there were enemy troops lying in ambush in the east.
"What? Ambush troops? "The soldiers were dumbfounded. What ambush troops? Wasn't this a joke? The reconnaissance team didn't discover anything, and the marshal casually said that there was an ambush troops. Then, he sent half of the troops there? And he even ordered the remaining half of the troops to continue attacking? What was going on?
"Believe in Sir Marshal. Sir Yun definitely has his own plan."
"That's true. I feel that Sir Marshal is very powerful. He must have some plan that we didn't think of."
Although many of the soldiers were confused, they didn't believe in the marshal previously and were slapped in the face. This time, they learned from their mistakes and trusted him first. Moreover, they had won a small victory previously, so their morale was still very high. Currently, they were full of fighting strength and weren't very afraid.
Therefore, the troops of the empire split up. Half of the troops were taken away and advanced towards the mountains in the east. Of course, they felt that they were going to find the ambush troops. The general leading the troops was Tomrash's assistant, Deputy Marshal Rollos. Of course, Rollos knew the current situation.
This was what Tomrash told Rollos at that time. They would definitely lose this war. This was already decided by the higher-ups. With Li Huailin's command, how could they not lose? Once they were defeated, as the marshal, it would be very difficult for him to survive. However, now that Rollos had led half of the troops out, it could be considered as preserving the seeds of hope for the Black Lizard Corps. If they heard that they were defeated, they must not return and immediately withdraw from the war.
Yes, Tomrash was already making arrangements for his funeral. Of course, Rollos wouldn't tell his subordinates this, so the soldiers still didn't know the truth. Rollos also bid farewell to Tomrash with tears in his eyes, saying that he would definitely lead the troops to safely withdraw from the battlefield. Of course, all of this was known by Li Huailin, but it had nothing to do with him. The person he was looking for was the Queen. Whether the Black Lizard Corps was destroyed or not was none of his business.
After the soldiers left, Li Huailin waved his hand and said again, "Alright, prepare to attack again!"
"You devil!" Tomrash couldn't help but say.
"Sound the gong!" Li Huailin ignored him and shouted directly. Of course, the final command to attack was sounded again. Hearing the command, the soldiers were dumbfounded again. Attack again? Why did they retreat previously? However, it was still the same saying, they had to obey orders. Although they were dumbfounded, they had to attack when the command was sounded. The soldiers didn't say anything and directly rushed forward again. Of course, this time, the formation was slightly better, but it was still a little chaotic because it was still a situation where the entire army was attacking.
On the side of the rebel army, they were also dumbfounded. What was going on? The opponent had just sounded the gong to retreat, and now they suddenly attacked with all their troops. What the hell? However, when they heard the battle cry, they had no choice but to continue following. Of course, their situation was similar. Soon, the two sides clashed again, but soon, the rebel army discovered that the pressure on them had decreased.
Yes, the problem of pressure was obviously related to the number of people. Currently, the battlefield was blurry, and no one knew how many people there were on the other side. Both sides could only judge the situation by the pressure on the battlefield. Now, for some reason, the rebel army was able to withstand the attack of the empire army. Although they didn't know what was going on, it seemed that the situation was turning.
"Marshal, the troops on both sides are in a stalemate. Our army no longer has the offensive advantage." Of course, this battle report also reached Li Huailin's side. Li Huailin heaved a sigh of relief. This was more like it. However, a stalemate was not what he wanted. He still had to think of a way to lose. What kind of trash army was the other side? They had already reduced their troops by half, and they were still in a stalemate? However, they had fewer people and it was a stalemate. If they fought a battle of attrition for a while, his side wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Li Huailin didn't think too much about it. Yes, not all of the opposing army was here. What surprised him even more was that something unexpected happened on the east side of the battlefield.
At this time, the soldiers on the east side were still grumbling. They felt that it was impossible to have an ambush. Where did this ambush come from? They were having fun just now, so why didn't they continue attacking? Of course, Rollos knew the situation as well. It was impossible for there to be an ambush. However, he also knew that there was no other way. He could only comfort the soldiers and continue looking for an ambush that didn't exist.
Suddenly, a scout rushed over and reported to Rollos, "Deputy Marshal, there is an enemy ambush ahead."
"What? What did you say? "Rollos was dumbfounded.
"There is an enemy ambush ahead!" the scout reported again.
"Did … did you see wrongly?" Rollos asked in disbelief.
"Yes, Deputy Marshal. It's a large army, at least 5,000 people."
"There's really an ambush? And they're already here? This … this is too dangerous. Our rear was almost ambushed. Luckily, the Marshal discovered it. "
"Yes, I didn't expect there to really be an ambush. The Marshal is really divine!"
"Long live the Marshal!" All of a sudden, the soldiers became excited. Tomrash had instantly become the God of War in their hearts.
