The Australian players could not withstand the oppressive atmosphere on the battlefield and chose to risk their lives. They roared and brandished all kinds of strange-looking weapons as they charged toward the enemy formation.
E Lai, who was on the opposite side, smiled when he saw this.
In a group fight, there was a good saying: "The unreasonable are afraid of the reckless, and the reckless are afraid of the reckless." The Australian players were a group of crazy people who did not care about their lives.
E Lai was not worried at all. Instead, he was very happy.
This was because this was a battlefield, not a messy fight between hooligans. On the battlefield, the most important thing was not madness, but calmness. Only by being as cold as steel and not losing one's composure could one win.
The Australian players charged over like mad dogs. They did not have any formation or coordination. In front of the imperial guards, who were ready for battle, they were just a group of small monsters waving knives, forks, and clubs. They posed no threat at all.
"Rookies will always be rookies!"
With E Lai's order, the imperial guards, who had been standing still all this while, began to rumble and move. Like a sophisticated killing machine, they led the charging enemies into the encirclement without leaving a trace.
Once the Australian players were surrounded, they would die.
The encirclement was like a giant gear, biting each other and constantly advancing toward the front line. As expected, the Australian players on the opposite side continued to kill.
With the death of a large number of players, the smell of blood on the battlefield became stronger and stronger.
This smell of blood further stimulated the Australian players. One by one, they threw themselves into the battle with no regard for their own safety, trying to burst out the last ray of light.
Under the light, there was also darkness.
Some of the players could not stand the atmosphere of the battlefield and fled.
Among the 100,000 vanguard troops of the Canberra army, 70,000 were combat players. Because the players were the most active and the most radical, they were the first to arrive at the battlefield.
The battle began at 4: 30 in the afternoon. When the sun set and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the blood-stained wilderness, the main force of the Canberra army had just arrived at the battlefield.
What appeared in front of them was a scene of purgatory.
More than half of the 100,000 vanguard troops had been killed by the Great Xia imperial guards. The rest were either captured or fled, disappearing into the vast wilderness.
On the battlefield littered with corpses, there were the neighing of warhorses and the faint sound of weeping.
They were the survivors who had fought to the very end. Faced with the desolation of the battlefield and the great disparity in the results of the battle, the players who had survived only felt helplessness and pain as deep as the abyss.
"We can't win." They despaired.
"How could this be?!"
The Canberra main force that rushed over was also in disbelief. They looked at the Great Xia Imperial Army opposite them with awe and even some fear in their eyes. They felt a chill in their hearts.
The casualties of the Great Xia Imperial Army were negligible. The Darksteel Armor had already been stained with a layer of bright red. Only the tip of the spear was still gleaming with a cold light and not a single drop of blood could be seen.
Endless killing intent condensed in the sky above the battlefield, competing with the setting sun for brilliance.
"Gulp!"
Someone subconsciously swallowed his saliva, trying to ease his nervousness.
According to the original plan of the main force, the 100,000 vanguard troops were not to engage the enemy right now. Their mission was to set up camp and establish a stronghold not far from the enemy.
Who would have thought that the vanguard troops would be so useless? Before the main forces arrived, they had already been routed.
"What should we do now?"
The general who led the troops looked at each other. Night was coming, but they had no place to hide in the wilderness. Hundreds of thousands of troops had marched for more than half a day, but they didn't even have the chance to stop to rest and eat some food.
"Retreat five miles and set up camp," the general ordered.
The general's order was very wise. The sky was getting dark, and the troops were tired and morale was low. It was really not a good time to initiate a war. They could only conserve their energy and rest for the night before fighting again tomorrow.
Unfortunately, he had underestimated the reaction of the troops.
The 400,000 troops were full of enthusiasm and summoned their last bit of courage to charge into the enemy's camp with the intention of defeating the enemy.
Who would have thought that as soon as they arrived on the battlefield, they would be severely injured.
The confrontation just now made the soldiers feel great pressure. If they had launched an attack now, they might have been able to muster up their courage and fight for the last time.
However, they received the order to retreat.
Imagine 400,000 troops spread out in the wilderness like a black curtain. They were so densely packed that one couldn't see the end of them. The Royal Guards and the combat players each occupied half of them and intertwined with each other.
When the order to retreat was given, the front troops became the rear troops, and the rear troops became the front troops.
The "front troops", who were under the greatest pressure, had to continue to endure the pressure and stand still. The troops at the back quickly retreated back the way they had come, and they were moving at a very fast speed.
Instinctively, this troop didn't want to face the Great Xia Imperial Guards.
Because they were afraid, they walked faster and faster.
What was originally a regular retreat gradually turned into a trot, and then a fast run. In history, the scene of the Battle of Fei River in the former Qin Dynasty actually happened again on the battlefield in Australia, which was thousands of miles away.
The rear troops ran faster and faster!
Those who ran at the front were already five miles away, but they were still running forward subconsciously.
This created a chain effect, which caused the front troops to become restless. The eyes of some soldiers were already wandering, and their feet were also secretly moving backward.
No one was willing to be at the front.
This seemingly subtle movement finally caused a big commotion.
If someone took the lead, there would definitely be others who followed. The front troops actually retreated as a whole. At first, they were just like little wives, quietly raising one foot and retracting the other.
In the end, they were already sprinting.
By the time the leading general realized that something was wrong and wanted to stop the front troops from retreating, it was already too late.
Not to mention the soldiers, even the generals in the army were retreating. Who could accept a new military order now? Besides, they were retreating, which was also carrying out a "military order".
With this thought, they felt even more at ease to retreat.
In less than half an hour, the 400,000 troops rapidly retreated like dominoes. Moreover, they retreated faster and faster, and the more they retreated, the more disorderly they became.
The entire formation was already in a mess.
Seeing this, E Lai, who was on the opposite side, keenly seized the opportunity. He looked up at the sunset in the sky and saw that there was still more than half of the sun exposed outside the sunset glow.
Judging from the situation, it would take at least another hour for the sky to turn dark.
"One hour is enough!"
E Lai was also a decisive person. After communicating with Shi Hu, he gave an order. The Great Xia Imperial Guards, who had been quietly resting and reorganizing, began to move again.
This movement was like a thunderbolt, a gale, and a tsunami …
