will of the planet

Chapter 34: Chapter 50
The two sides fought together, and the advantages of the equipment were quickly reflected. Facing the crusade army, which was far more numerous than its own side, the clone soldiers were like an iron wall, and the soldiers from the middle land who rushed over had their scalps bleeding.

However, the number of crusading troops was too large, and the enemy generals did not put all their troops on the ground, but they still sent most of their soldiers, probably no less than 6.

In other words, every clone soldier has to face 1 Zhongdi soldiers, which is obviously a bit reluctant.

After fighting for a while, more than half of the clone soldiers were killed or injured. An ordinary army would have collapsed a long time ago, but they would never have retreated without an order to retreat.

This also shocked the generals of the Crusade Army. According to their knowledge, with such a high casualty ratio, they should have collapsed long ago.

Many generals frowned. Although the number of soldiers in Zhongdi was large, it cost 1 people to kill 2 clone soldiers.

If the generals behind hadn't been reminding their soldiers that the opponent's numbers were far smaller than their own, they themselves would collapse.

Those clone soldiers were completely like lunatics. When they saw their comrades fall one by one, they completely ignored them. They still pulled out their knives and chopped down the enemies in front of them until they fell down.

Everyone back up or run away!

He is a normal person, and he is unwilling to fight against such a group of lunatics who are not afraid!

The generals of the crusading army also had the idea of ​​retreating. These were all their own soldiers. Even if they had no feelings, it took a lot of manpower and material resources to cultivate them.

It takes at least several years to train a soldier, and they don't want to lose here.

The 2 enemy troops in front of them are only part of them. According to the information they just received, the opponent still has no less than 3 troops.
Who knows how many such desperate lunatics there are, even if they can win the opponent, their own soldiers will probably be exhausted.

However, the general is not stupid. If he orders a retreat, his own soldiers will collapse, and the enemy will take the opportunity to attack, and the consequences will be disastrous.

No one dared to order a retreat. Even if they retreated, they would at least eat up the soldiers in front of them to make up for some lost morale.

Under the command of the general of the Crusade Army, the offensive of the Crusade Army became more violent, trying to deal with these clone soldiers as soon as possible, and not giving them a chance to be supported by reinforcements.

Lin Xiao never thought about supporting the troops on the front line. After seeing the clone soldiers suffocating the crusade army, he ordered to retreat while fighting.

His purpose is to let the feudal nobles know that he is not easy to mess with, and he does not intend to always use his disadvantages to gain advantages.

At this time, the order had been passed to the clone soldiers, and they began to retreat.

The crusade army naturally pursued, but they didn't pursue too far. After all, the enemy was about to retreat to Huangsha Town, so it would be good to accept it as soon as it was good.

Of course, not everyone accepts as soon as they see it. Many generals advocated the pursuit and withdrew like this. They were very dissatisfied.

"Your Excellency, Harry, your soldiers suffered the fewest casualties, and they seem to be very brave and good at fighting. How about entrusting you with the main attack next time?" Ella said with a gloomy face.

He led the most soldiers, was the main attacker, and suffered the most casualties, so he naturally didn't want to pursue them.

Harry's complexion changed, and he said hastily: "How can it be, how can I compare with the noble Viscount Ella..."

Harry immediately flattered and promoted Ella as the boss. He is not stupid, whoever is the boss now will be the main attacker.

As the nominal supreme commander of the Crusade Army, the ignored Hui Shibang: "???"

I have to say that Harry's words are still very useful. Ella, who was in a bad mood, recovered a little bit.

After Ella calmed down, she also realized that this enemy army was not easy to deal with, and he didn't dare to treat the opponent as a robber now.

There are no robbers so powerful, if there are enough people, they have to stay away.

He looked at the generals around him and said seriously: "This time we only brought three days' worth of food and grass, what do you think we should do?"

"Since we can't attack by force, we might as well recover the iron mine first, there are not many enemy troops there." A general suggested.

"No!" Ella objected without even thinking about it. If he went to recover the iron ore, when these people saw the iron ore piled up like a mountain, they would probably have to pay a higher price to get the iron ore back.

He paused before explaining: "This group of rebels are so arrogant, we should destroy them first, so as to show our military prestige!"

As the current boss, Aila wanted to continue the attack, and the generals did not object, lest this big guy let go.

Then they will have to re-elect a boss. It seems that the boss is very cool, but in fact they have to pay a considerable price.

After seeing Ella's miserable situation, no one wants to be the boss.

Is Ella stupid?

He is currently in a dilemma. He originally thought it was just a group of robbers, who knew they would be so fierce.

Since losses cannot be avoided, it is best to minimize losses as much as possible now. I just heard Ella say: "Since the rebels have thick armor, why don't we gather archers together, so that we can reduce our losses and injure the opponent severely."

Hearing Aila's words, the surrounding generals did not immediately agree.

Archers take longer to train than infantry and require more resources.

If the loss of infantry is distressing to them, then the loss of archers is a cut of flesh, so for every archer, it is very precious!

But without concentrating the archers, it would be difficult to cause effective losses to the rebels. After all, the total number of archers they brought over this time was less than 1.

And Ella's attitude is also very tough. If they don't give it, the other party will probably let it go.

In order to stabilize Ayla, these generals had no choice but to part with each other, and all the archers were drawn out.

With nearly a hundred archers, Aila's confidence increased greatly. After resting the army, she officially started to call the battle.

It's nothing more than persuading the other party to surrender, and you can avoid the death penalty, otherwise you will die.

But what Aila didn't expect was that as soon as the crusading army approached Huangsha Town, they were covered by a rain of arrows. More than 20 soldiers were shot and killed immediately, and many more were injured, causing a lot of chaos.

"Damn it, I should have thought that the other side had archers." Seeing that all the dead were her own soldiers, Ella was very distressed, and gritted her teeth: "Archers, let the arrows go!"

The counterattack of the crusade army came soon. Since the archers of the crusade army were projectiles, there were many soldiers in front of them holding shields to defend.

It is difficult for the cloned shortbowmen to fight back, and their range is not far, even if the projectile is shot, it is not very powerful, and they will kill the infantry standing in front if they shoot more.

Although the clone soldiers also have infantry protection, but the number is far from enough, and they are at a disadvantage.

Now it was Lin Xiao's turn to suffer heavy injuries, and he was also a little helpless. He was a short bow soldier with good quality, but he lost in range.

The crusading army who had suffered a lot did not launch a hand-to-hand battle in time, and Lin Xiao's clone soldiers were suppressed all the time, and the damage was getting worse.

Under the overwhelming rain of arrows, the archers of the Crusade Army shot 1 arrows in nearly a minute. Most of the soldiers hid in the low city walls to no avail. Too many deaths.

Even infantry in steel armor couldn't stop bows and arrows. Fortunately, there were not many arrows that could penetrate armor, which showed that armor was still very useful.

As time went by, Lin Xiao had fewer and fewer shortbowmen, completely losing the ability to fight back, and the morale of the crusading soldiers increased greatly.

With the cooperation of the archers, the infantry attacked the city wall, and fought again with the clone soldiers whose number was less than 200.

The Crusade Army did not keep a reserve team, and put all their troops on the line. Each clone soldier had to fight against nearly 4 people!

This time it has exceeded the limit that the clone soldiers can bear, and it can be clearly seen that their number is constantly decreasing.

Casualties soon exceeded 50, and the crusade army also had casualties, but there were still more than 700 people.

The pressure of 150 people facing 700 people is much greater than 200 people facing 800 people.

It seemed that the army was about to be defeated here, but Lin Xiao still did not retreat, and even Aila, who was the main attacker, was a little puzzled.

Judging from the situation just now, the old brains of these rebels should not be stupid, with such heavy casualties, retreating is the only option.

Have they abandoned these soldiers?
