Just before nightfall, the undead army had already set up an ambush in the forest not far from Degara City. According to Li Huailin's order, the undead army was mobilized in full force this time. The remaining 20,000 troops were all hidden in a hidden place. Not a single person was left in the camp. If the undead army really went to burn the camp, they would not be able to fight anymore.
Soon, an hour had passed and there was still no movement around the forest. There were no signs of troops arriving either, which made Sulphur a little anxious.
"Soudeis, do you think the human army will really come to this place?" Sulfur asked subconsciously. "This place is so remote. If the humans take the initiative to attack, it doesn't seem like they will pass by this place."
"Don't talk so much nonsense. We are just subordinates. We just need to listen to orders. As for His Highness Wocha, he naturally has his own considerations. You and I shouldn't make wild guesses." Soudeis usually said this to Sulfur and himself. After all, he didn't really understand Li Huailin's plan. Although he ordered them to come here to ambush, Soudeis didn't believe that Li Huailin would really let the human army come here. What good would it do him if his army was ambushed … Could it be that he wanted them to ambush another army? But he didn't hear about any other army besides the human army nearby.
While he was thinking, a soldier suddenly said, "My Lord, look, it seems like there is an army approaching."
"Hmm?" Soudeis immediately looked in the direction the soldier was pointing at. From afar, he saw many black shadows moving in their direction under the moonlight. It indeed looked like a huge army.
"They're here, they're here!" Sulphur immediately became excited. "They're really here. Our Emperor Wotcha is indeed magical. I didn't expect him to be able to predict the appearance of the human army here. I don't have this ability at all. No wonder he can be the king."
"They're really here?" Soudeis didn't see clearly whether the other side was a human army or not, but according to Li Huailin's order, they were ready to attack.
The army was naturally a human army, and this time, it was led by Li Huailin himself. Li Huailin was afraid that the human army would inexplicably win a great victory, so he decided to personally go into battle to prevent any accidents from happening.
At 7 o 'clock, the second legion set off from Degara City on time, then went all the way to the east and soon arrived at the agreed place. At this time, the troops in front were already close to the place where the undead were lying in ambush.
"Report, there is a large forest ahead. Do you want to search it carefully?" the scout reported to Li Huailin.
"The woods. Oh, are we there?" Li Huailin nodded. It seemed that they had arrived at their destination. He hoped that the Undead were ready. Of course, there was no need to inspect carefully, otherwise they would discover an ambush. "No need. Let's go through quickly."
"Marshal, let's be a little more careful." McCann immediately said, "Don't enter the forest. The forest ahead is dense. If there is an enemy ambush, we will be in great danger. I think we should wait a little longer and send someone to inspect it carefully before we pass."
"McCann, you're really reliable. It would be great if the other side had a reliable guy like you." Li Huailin couldn't help but say. If the Undead had a guy like McCann, the first two times would have been over long ago, and he wouldn't have had to bring people out personally. However, Li Huailin still said, "No, speed is the most important thing in war. We are going to attack the enemy's camp now, and we don't have time to stop and inspect it. If we inspect it along the way, we won't reach the enemy's camp until dawn. We can pass directly."
"But Marshal …" McCann still wanted to say something, but he was immediately interrupted by Li Huailin.
"How could the other side expect us to take this route? McCann, don't be too careful," said Li Huailin.
"Hmm …" McCann thought for a moment. It seemed to be the case. No one would expect to take this route, and under normal circumstances, it was indeed unlikely that the Undead would set up an ambush here.
"Let's go." Seeing that McCann didn't say anything, Li Huailin waved his hand and said.
Therefore, the human army on this side began to move again. Soon, the human army entered the forest on this side, and gradually approached the encirclement of the undead.
"It's almost time." Seeing that the other side's troops had entered the ambush circle, Fiuke couldn't wait any longer. He rubbed his hands and said.
"Wait a little longer … Wait a little longer …" Soudeis knew the art of war. Now that the other side's vanguard had entered, if they attacked immediately, the other side would quickly retreat. After all, they had only surrounded three sides, so they had to wait for the other side's middle troops to enter. This way, they would be able to deal a greater blow to the other side.
"Eh? There shouldn't be any problems, right? " As they walked, Li Huailin started to feel a little anxious. Why hadn't the undead army appeared yet? Could it be that something had gone wrong again? He had already explained it so clearly, so how could the other side still mess it up? Could it be that they got the time wrong? If my troops really attacked the Undead camp, then it would be an easy victory. I really won't be able to turn the situation around.
"Dong!" Just as Li Huailin was fretting over this, a loud noise suddenly erupted from the forest, and a large number of deep battle cries rang out.
"What!" All the human troops' expressions changed. Ambushed?
"Hahahaha, human fools, you've fallen into Her Highness' trap!" Lord Sulfur's laughter came from above. After losing two battles yesterday, Sulfur had been holding it in. Now, he finally had a chance to vent. Seeing the panicking human army, Sulfur couldn't help but ridicule. "That's right, Lord Sulfur.
"What Undead troops!" McCann said with a little panic. "Your Highness? Aren't the Undead splitting? Who's your Highness? "
"Are you f * cking courting death? Her Highness said that her existence can't be exposed." Soudeis was scared to death. Although he didn't see Li Huailin, he should be below. Wasn't he caught red-handed by Li Huailin?
"This …" Fiuke also realized that he had said something wrong in his excitement. He waved his hand and shouted to the soldiers below, "Brothers, kill them all!"
"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" A burst of cold battle cries sounded. Hearing Fiuke's order, the Undead troops that had long been lying in ambush rushed out from various places in the forest and directly charged towards the human troops.
"What! So many people! " McCann was shocked. He didn't expect that there would be so many Undead troops lying in ambush here. It seemed like the entire army had been dispatched. Could it be that the so-called Her Highness had seen through the Marshal's plan and had already set up an ambush here?
"Marshal, what should we do?" McCann asked hurriedly.
"Damn it, we actually fell into an ambush!" Li Huailin looked extremely remorseful, but he finally heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. His plan had finally succeeded. Now, he was going to lose. "Turn into a defensive formation. Retreat as you fight … Retreat from the back."
"Defend against the enemy!" "Turn into a defensive formation!" The generals immediately shouted.
"Kill!" The troops on both sides immediately clashed. Because the human troops were ambushed, it took time to adjust from a marching formation to a defensive formation. Moreover, there was the interference of the Undead troops, so the progress was slow. The casualties on both sides were in favor of the Undead from the beginning.
"Fight while retreating. Slowly gather!" McCann saw that the situation wasn't good and immediately said, "Troops at the back, retreat! Don't block the way! Don't come to help, retreat! "
Because the situation was a bit chaotic, it was very troublesome for the human troops to adjust. During this time, the front line of the human troops had suffered some serious damage. Li Huailin looked at the situation, nodded, and said to McCann, "Damn it, McCann, retreat. We can't fight anymore."
"Retreat? Marshal, "McCann asked," If we retreat, we will lose. "
"There's no other way. The enemy has taken the initiative. If we retreat now, we can still preserve our fighting strength," Li Huailin said.
"Yes, Marshal." McCann said, then shouted to the people around him, "Marshal orders, retreat, retreat back to Degala City!"
"Retreat! Retreat! "The soldiers shouted as they retreated.
"The enemy retreated, we won!" Sulfur was having a great time. This ambush had directly defeated the human army, and the sullen feeling from yesterday's two battles was vented.
"His Highness said to fight to the death. If the enemy slowly retreats now, our victory won't be very great …" Soudeis said.
"Of course we have to chase them. Chase them all the way back to the city," Sulfur said immediately. Then, he suddenly glanced at McCann, who was shouting to the soldiers. With the moonlight, he could see McCann's armor. No matter how he looked at it, he must be a high official of the human race.
"Look, that guy, could he be the human race's commander, Duke Aquitaine?" Sulfur said immediately. He didn't know what Li Huailin looked like. In his impression, human marshals were basically older guys.
"Eh?" Soudeis looked in the direction that Sulfur pointed and saw Li Huailin, who was beside McCann. He mistakenly thought that Sulfur was talking about Li Huailin, so he said, "It should be …"
"Okay, I will go kill him! The enemy will collapse immediately! "Sulfur said, then immediately rode on his warhorse and rushed out.
"Sulfur! Sulfur! " Soudeis wanted to stop him. You dare to kill His Highness? Aren't you courting death? But it was too late, Sulfur had already rushed out.
"It's over. Quickly get me a warhorse," Soudeis said immediately.
