Chapter 1160 Delay

"You said Dacromet and the others pushed each other because of a dispute, and they accidentally fell off their horses and were trampled to death..."

Hailie's expression was extremely gloomy. He felt that the soldiers were joking with him, but he knew in his heart that the soldiers didn't dare.

"Yes... yes, my lord."

The several officers present all thought in their hearts that it was true after hearing it. I knew it would be like this, but they had an expression of disbelief on their faces.

"Why did they have a dispute?" Hai Lie asked in a deep voice.

"this……"

"explain!"

"Master Dacromet and the others... They are fighting over who will be the last."

The officers present immediately understood that according to the previous performance of the "curse", five or six people would die. As for the death of five or six, it was uncertain. The individual must be fighting for the uncertain last possible chance of survival.

"What do you mean? Don't tell me that there are so many troops out there, they are greedy for life and afraid of death." Hai Lie glared angrily.

The soldier trembled and could not speak.

Several officers at the side looked at each other, they knew what the soldiers said.

Dacromet and the others are indeed afraid of death, but the reason why they are afraid of death is not the enemy, but...

The officers subconsciously looked at the angry Hailie, but they didn't dare to speak out.

Hai Lie's soldiers didn't dare to speak, so he thought he was right, and immediately became furious.

"Hmph, three trash, they deserve to die, go, hang their bodies on the city gate for me."

The soldier who reported the letter did not dare to take a breath, he was very afraid that he would be angered, so he took the order and left quickly.

"Everyone come out of the city with me. I want to see what kind of enemy it is that made those three trash fall off their horses and be trampled to death in fright." Hailie shouted.

He didn't choose to go up the city wall, but went out of the city, in order to stimulate the morale recovery of the army by sitting in the city himself. After all, the generals and officers who died several times before should not be a small blow to the morale of the soldiers.

Hearing that Hai Lie was going to go out in person, the officers were not as uneasy as they were just now. Very calm.

After sacrificing five or six teammates, the "curse" should have disappeared, and there will be no accidents, so they can rest assured.

"My lord, what should we do in the city?" A military officer asked.

Hai Lie said coldly: "We have controlled the gates of the city, what kind of waves can there be in the city?"

Having said that, Hailie fell to the ground a little cautiously, paused and said: "Then you will be in charge. When I come back, you'd better keep me from hearing any sounds of fighting."

The officer nodded yes.

Then Hailie took the people out of the city.

Outside the city, Chen Fang led his troops like a pack of wolves, wandering around the periphery of the Hucheng army, rushing to bite the Hucheng army from time to time. More than a thousand soldiers in Hucheng were killed or injured.

When Hailie came out, he saw the soldiers on his side who were several times stronger than the enemy but huddled together like lambs, and he became angry.

Immediately called the guards, and executed several officers who were greedy for life and fear of death on the spot, so as to show their majesty and deter the whole army.

After killing chickens and monkeys, the soldiers of the Hucheng army calmed down from their panic.

Hai Lie asked his high-level officers to lead each unit separately and rearrange the lineup.

After some tricks, the Hucheng army was completely stabilized.

When Chen Fang saw it, he didn't dare to push it any further. He led the cavalry back a thousand meters and confronted each other far away.

"I thought the commander of the Hucheng army was not very good, but I didn't expect to have some tricks."

Being able to stabilize the army in such a short period of time is not something ordinary people can do.

"What are you going to do next?" Shikoti asked curiously.

She wanted to know, in the face of such a huge gap in military strength, what would Chen Fang choose next, whether to retreat and abandon the city, or to have a whimsical idea to keep the city.

Chen Fang glanced at Shi Koudi lightly, and said, "What do you do next, you think I will tell you."

Shi Koudi is very dissatisfied with Chen Fang's attitude.

"We are not enemies, why can't we tell."

"Hehe, it's not an enemy now, maybe the future will be."

Shikodi can't refute this, the world is impermanent, maybe one day, they will really become enemies.

"Hmph, don't tell me, I'll see for myself, you won't deliberately stop me from following you, right?"

"casual."

Chen Fang didn't care, anyway, there was nothing to keep secret.

As for the Hucheng army, after Hai Lie adjusted his army, he sent three troops to approach Chen Fang from three different directions.

Chen Fang judged the situation and felt that Hecheng could not be defended, so he took out a plant signal bomb and released it to the sky to show that the people in the city could lead the troops and retreat with the residents of Hecheng who had been arranged in advance.

After sending out the signal, Chen Fang did not lead his troops to evacuate immediately. On the contrary, he led his troops to take the initiative to lead a group of troops in Hucheng.

The purpose of this is to draw the attention of the Hucheng army, let them focus on themselves, reduce the pressure on the troops in the city, and buy time for the evacuation.

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong, picking the weak persimmons and pinching them, trying to weaken the gap between the enemy and the enemy in the shortest possible time and narrowing the gap are the most basic tactics on the battlefield.

So Chen Fang led the troops to an ordinary army in Hucheng, with a strength of three thousand and infantry. Compared with the other two troops, this army was equipped with ordinary equipment, long swords and shields, and half covered with tattered leather A, suspected cannon fodder.

Without opening the military formation, Chen Fang led the troops to charge straight.

Cavalry against infantry, elite against cannon fodder, without any surprises, they will collapse and kill them.

During the battle, Chen Fang couldn't bear to look at the Hucheng soldiers who died by his hands.

Judging from the equipment on the opponent's body and his bony body, these cannon fodder soldiers should all be civilians forced by Hucheng, and they were used as consumables by the high-level officials of Hucheng, which is very pitiful.

But pity is pitiful, the enemy is the enemy after all, on the battlefield where you die or I die, you don’t accept any kindness, you can shed crocodile tears after the battle, but please do it on the battlefield, you can’t be soft when you have to kill.

Chen Fang naturally understands this principle, so even though he can't bear it, he strikes more ruthlessly, slashing to death every time, in order to make sure that every enemy can go away happily, without having to endure a little more pain before death.

But being able to strike doesn't mean being able to hold back his emotions. As the enemies fell one by one, Chen Fang's mood became more and more depressed.

Shikoti, who was sitting behind Chen Fang, seemed to feel the gloom from him.

"I feel like you're having a hard time."

Chen Fang wiped the blood off his face and said, "I'm hypocritical."

"This damn world."

Shikodi heard the grief and indignation in Chen Fang's tone, and said after a while of silence:

"They are your enemies."

Chen Fang said coldly: "Forced."

For some reason, seeing Chen Fang like this, Shi Koudi felt a little uncomfortable, so she couldn't help but enlighten her: "You were also forced, weren't you?"

Chen Fang looked back at Shi Koudi, and said, "Don't comfort me, I've already told you that I'm being hypocritical, and it will be fine in a while."

After hearing this sentence, Shikoti stopped talking.

The army of three thousand cannon fodder soldiers in Hucheng was quickly annihilated by Chen Fang at the cost of dozens of casualties.

At the cost of the lives of 3,000 cannon fodder soldiers, the other two Hucheng troops arrived and successfully surrounded Chen Fang.

"Surrounded." Shikoti said.

"I know." Chen Fang said lightly.

In order to draw the enemy's attention and delay time, such a situation was expected by Chen Fang.

"Aren't you afraid of their commander-in-chief, who will lead the army over and increase the encirclement?" Shikoti asked curiously.

Chen Fang looked at the motionless Hucheng army in the distance, and said confidently: "If it were you, would you go to war and bring tens of thousands of people to surround a thousand-strong army?"

Shikodi thought for a while and said, "If I know your identity, I will."

Although it was not stated clearly, another meaning of this sentence is that without knowing Chen Fang's identity, she will not make a big move.

Chen Fangrao said interestingly: "Unexpectedly, you think highly of me."

Shi Koudi looked at Chen Fang's back with complicated eyes.

Although the contact time with Chen Fang was very short, just Chen Fang's performance during this time let her know that Chen Fang is very capable.

Whether it is command, strategy or combat ability, Chen Fang is excellent, even terrifying, which shocked her and deeply tabooed her.

"Because you are very strong." Shikoti said seriously.

"Thank you for looking down on me." Chen Fang responded casually.

On the battlefield, Chen Fang didn't have the time to say more, before Shikoti could respond, he became focused.

"Circular array."

Turn on the military formation, quickly gather cavalry and dryad warriors, form circles and groups, and unanimously go out.

The two troops from Lake City also came to kill them.

Short combat.

"War trampled."

The large-scale lightning spread and radiated, covering the encirclement formed by the entire enemy army. Although it was not lethal, it slowed down the movement of all enemy soldiers and made them move like snails.

"Kill." Chen Fang ordered.

The cavalry soldiers of the troops under his command thrust out their spears and slashed with their swords, killing the enemies in front of them.

Under Xiao Qiao's command, Jungle Hunting threw javelins one by one, piercing through the enemies who were affected by the slow effect and who were as wooden as puppets and could not move easily, plundering their lives.

After the enemy troops in the front row were wiped out, Chen Fang gave another order.

"Yan Yue Slash."

Dao Dao Dao Qi rushed out, slashing across the ground, screaming and wailing, Hu City soldiers fell to the ground one by one.

After a round of attack, the two encircling troops, only a hundred or so lucky people were still standing, but even if they were standing, these people peed their pants in fear, and after looking at the scene full of corpses in fear, they screamed like crazy I had to scramble to escape from here.

Witnessing such a powerful group attack for the second time, Shikoti still felt terrified, and looked at Chen Fang with even more fear, thinking in her heart that she must never be an enemy of him on the battlefield.

On the side of Lake City, after Hai Lie dispatched three troops, he has been observing the battlefield.

When the cannon fodder was killed with no power to fight back, he didn't feel anything, and he didn't feel distressed. In his opinion, the value of cannon fodder was to consume and delay time.

When the cannon fodder troops were defeated and suffered heavy casualties, Hai Lie focused his attention on the other two troops. He waited until the two troops successfully surrounded Chen Fang's troops before saying anything.

"Okay, I finally didn't waste some food to feed those wastes."

The rather indifferent language did not arouse the discomfort of the officers around him, but flattered him vigorously.

"My lord uses soldiers like a god, and he surrounded the opponent's troops with only a bunch of trash. It's really admirable."

"Yeah, yeah, that troop can't escape now, your lord will kill this stubborn enemy in no time, it's too powerful."

Hearing the flattery from his subordinates, Hai Lie didn't show any expression on his face, but he was still very proud in his heart.

But he didn't feel complacent for long, and when he saw the encirclement of the battlefield, bursts of knife energy burst out, killing the soldiers on his side like chopping melons and vegetables.

Everyone was stunned by the sudden situation, and there was no sound.

After a long time, an officer said with a trembling mouth: "Who can tell me if I am dazzled, why our troops were wiped out in one fell swoop."

But no one answered him, and the others, too, felt that the scene just now was unreal.

After a while, Hai Lie's exasperated voice sounded.

"What are you doing, you bastards, why didn't you tell me that the army would use this group skill."

The officers looked at each other, feeling extremely wronged in their hearts.

They had been by Hai Lie's side all the time before, and he didn't know about the situation. How could they know? The soldiers who reported the letter didn't say anything.

But this grievance, the officers did not dare to say it, they could only swallow it.

After Hailie lost his temper, he calmed down, and also thought that he lost his temper to the wrong person.

"Come here, take the soldier who reported the message to him and execute him." Hai Lie said coldly.

After a while, the soldiers who reported the letter before were dragged away from the crowd crying and howling.

Then Hailie said to the person who had been guarding him with a gloomy expression: "Larry, take all your men, take one of the elemental corps, and go and destroy that troop for me."

Hearing the name in Hailie's mouth and the legion that was going to fight, the expressions of the officers present all changed.

"I admit that the army is very powerful, but will the adults look down on them too much, and actually send out Larry and his men, as well as the ace troops of our army, isn't it a bit overkill?"

"I also think adults are too cautious."

"Master Larry and his subordinates are all high-level four-level awakeners. The three units of the Elemental Legion have 6,000 people, and each of the soldiers inside is also at the middle-level three-level level. I am reluctant to use it, and now I am sending out to destroy the army of only a thousand people, and it is a bit incomprehensible."

While several officers were discussing in a low voice in confusion, the man called Larry next to Hai Lie took the order and left.

After a while, a luxuriously equipped troop marched out from a remote corner near the city wall, and marched towards Chen Fang under the watchful eyes of the Hucheng soldiers who voluntarily made way for them.

"Hey, you dare to come out and die."

Chen Fang saw the direction of the Hucheng army, and another army came out, so he cast his gaze there.

Shikoti also looked at the past, and then his expression changed.

"One hundred high-level awakened people, and the rest are all middle-level awakened people. This Lake City army actually has this kind of strength."

Chen Fang was also extremely surprised.

How come there are so many high-level awakened people in Lake City?
