After moving forward for a short distance, Valad's troops came to the side of the army of the Kingdom of Karen. He shouted, "Ask them to retreat together! I'm afraid they can't hold on here! "
Valad's men ran over and quickly came back. "My lord, they said … they have a way."
Valad did not say anything. The Kingdom of Karen had many new and interesting things. Now that the war was developing in a completely unfamiliar direction, many things could no longer be judged by previous experience. Now that the situation was critical, he could not even protect his own army, let alone think about what these people were going to do. So Valad immediately led his troops to cover the retreat of his own army. At the same time, he ordered the archers to attack the rushing monsters.
The failure of the attack was not unacceptable because Valad had a way to whitewash it in his later report. However, seeing the enemies rushing towards him, Valad's expression changed slightly. "Use the Swamp Spell! Stop them! "
More than a dozen sorcerers who followed the army immediately cast the Swamp Spell on the ground 100 meters in front of them. However, before the enemies rushed into the area, the two Groundhogs had already aimed at the large targets in front of them. Because the enemies were less than 200 meters away, with such a distance and with the help of the sighting devices, the mutant monsters were torn apart by the cannonballs while they were running. Because of the normal firing, there were even cases where one cannonball pierced through two or three of the monsters.
The soldiers of the Kingdom of Karen held their shields and waited for the enemy to attack. However, the monsters' momentum was getting slower and slower. In the end, it was obvious that the enemy did not intend to "pursue" the enemy. Instead, they just let the frenzied monsters continue to rush forward. The rest of the main force gradually stopped under the control of the supervision team and the horn, and then they retreated.
The two Groundhogs had continuously fired nearly 100 cannonballs. Now, under the effect of the cooling magic circle, the barrels were now emitting white smoke. Finally, there were only 30 to 40 monsters in front of the position of the Kingdom of Karen, and they were obviously exhausted. Before they could even come into contact with the first row of soldiers, they were shot down by the close range of the infantry division's "crystal spears".
In the previous attack against Charles II, the cavalry had been armed with very primitive "crystal spears," but those were basically single-use equipment. Nowadays, the ace troops of the Kingdom of Karen had begun to equip some of the long guns powered by the Crystal Energy Circle. The bullets that the guns used were metal bullets that had been processed by the mold. Under the condition that the craftsmanship was high enough, there was no need to reload gunpowder in the cartridge case. Since the diameter of the bullet was more than 12mm, the power of the bullets was astonishing at about 100 meters.
The monsters' bodies were riddled with holes on the spot, and they quickly turned into dried corpses after falling to the ground.
From the beginning to the end, the infantry division did not move even half a step, and the enemy did not continue to attack. After this attack, both the attackers and defenders paid a price of more than 3,000 casualties. The area of the battle was extremely tragic, but for both sides, it was not a serious blow.
Faced with an enemy who could transform at any time, Valard clearly didn't dare to take any more risks. After contacting the headquarters, the Cullen infantry decided to retreat as well. They returned to La Xia City with Valard's troops.
In the barracks, Udora, who looked embarrassed, changed into a long robe. At this time, she looked into the distance with lingering fear and ordered, "Treat the wounded soldiers! Organize the army, we … prepare to retreat. "
The shelling just now almost hit Udora. The splashing debris scratched her abdomen, and a capable advisor was blown into two on the spot. The blood splashed on the commander, and the other advisors around him were scared to death.
But at this time, the retreat was not because Udora was afraid of being shelled again, but because she was very clear that her army had no ability to attack at all.
Originally, Udora's biggest trump card was "mass demonization." But this method was unpleasant to hear. It was like letting the soldiers be one-time cannon fodder. It could be used once or twice to withstand the pressure. But after many times, even if they were stupid, they would understand that this kind of "demonization" was a road to death. At that time, who would be willing to work for her?
This was also the main reason why the Tuk tribe did not send their own troops to the battle. These troops from various countries were originally used to be sacrificed!
But at this time, Udora must ensure that there would not be a mutiny in the current army. She still had enough soldiers and supplies behind her. It was not a problem to retreat to the other side of La Mu River to defend and confront the troops of La Xia City.
"Patrol team, carefully collect the corpses. We must not let the troops of other countries realize the problem. Tell them that this is a symptom caused by the divine power after the body has been overdrawn. Even if there are no wounds on the body, we must make wounds and deal with them as soon as possible …"
After saying these, she sat on the wooden chair that had just been moved here with a pale face. She looked at the distant La Xia City and said, "The troops that attack with long-range weapons seem to be completely different from Lassman's troops. I want to know where these people come from."
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
After the two sides entered a temporary truce, Valard who stepped into the city finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he actually regretted not assembling the troops in advance. If he chose to directly go out of the city to pursue the enemy when they were bombarding the enemy, those deserters might even directly rush into his position … This battle was likely to end early.
But there was no "if" in this world. Now he could only accept the result of the loss of more than 1,300 troops.
"Go and ask General Sodelor what military action he will take later. If there is any, tell him that I will try my best to cooperate."
Now, Valard had to admit defeat … After witnessing the power of the "Marmot" tank at a close distance on the battlefield, he deeply realized that the way of war would inevitably change because of these strange war machines. Now Valard just wanted to follow Sodelor's troops to fight a few more rounds and kill more people. It was good to get some soup for himself.
But Sodelor did not give him this choice at all. He only let the soldier bring back a sentence, "Lassman's main battle force in addition to the regular defense force can be put on the agenda."
Valard was completely dumbfounded, "Retreat? What do you mean? "
The subordinate stammered for a long time but could not explain the reason. But this doubt did not last long — not long after, the transport aircraft that flew out previously roared back and quickly engaged in a new transport mission.
That afternoon, the road from the airport to La Xia City was completed under the overnight efforts of Anderson and the Cullen Engineering Company. Teams of fully armed soldiers and four smaller armored vehicles with the same gun barrels began to enter the city.
Obviously, the addition of the transport aircraft further increased the efficiency and carrying capacity of the trans-ocean transportation. The transfer of troops that originally would have taken a month to complete could now be completed in another week.
With the increase of the troops, the entire "expeditionary force" in Lassman would also have more and more say. Of course, Valard understood what this meant, but he had no other choice but to make some changes in the information reported to the council.
