Chapter 982 (1/2)

Never in his life had count Nichols seen an army so skillful and so efficient in killing.

The enemies in black armor are like ghosts from the dark.

The footstep is as light and silent as a cat.

But it's as fast as an antelope.

There was a strange blue light in their eyes, and the night seemed to have no effect on them.

Even if those soldiers drill into the dark corner, they will be stabbed by their long and sharp saber.

They are both a group of efficient hunters and soldiers in Huayu plateau, just like a group of cattle and sheep running around. Even if they have more than the other side, they can't fight back effectively.

Among the soldiers in Huayu plateau, not all of them were rich in wine and rice, but also some brave men. Especially among the cavalry vassals of local nobles, many of them received regular and strict Knight training since childhood. They were the backbone of local nobles to maintain their own rule.

Never give up, is their good virtue.

They are shouting their identity, trying to gather the scattered soldiers to their side and reorganize their defense lines.

However, the enemy will not give them such a chance at all. The personnel on their side have just formed a certain scale.

Then a burst of firecracker like crackling came, that group of Huayu plateau soldiers just gathered together, like autumn wheat, covered with blood, fell in pieces.

”Ghost!” Those who did not fall, also thoroughly broke the courage, shouting, toward the place far away from each other.

The count of Nicholas certainly knew what was going on.

It is another new weapon led by the Yongye army, the musket, which uses the kinetic energy generated by the explosion of black powder to shoot out the hair of a famous arrow, forming several times or even dozens of times more lethal than bows and arrows.

In his hand, he had a genuine product coming out of the black market.

But those ordinary soldiers don't know about this matter. They only hear the noise, and then they see their comrades in arms. They splash blood all over their bodies. Naturally, they will attribute everything to ghosts and gods.

Then they entered a new cycle. Behind their hips, there were a group of hunters who were slaughtering them in an orderly way.

Those hunters are obviously in control of the rhythm. They mainly clean up those who try to hide or resist in the same place. For those who have completely broken their courage and run around, they don't try their best to catch up with them.

Instead, they followed them slowly, driving them to other camps like driving sheep. They encouraged more people to escape with them, and even directly scattered the counter attack line they had so hard to organize.

This is the most typical sheep driving tactics, once formed, it will be difficult to crack.

Pacifying a group of camp howling chaotic crowd and a group of roubing soldiers are not the same concept at all.

In order to escape for their lives, those soldiers who break through the gall will probably do whatever they can to raise their swords to their fellow soldiers. Different ownership will make it easier for them to do this.

”My Lord, retreat. We have missed the chance to stabilize our best position. The great defeat has been formed and we can't recover. If we go further, we will only take the count in.” The captain of the guard next to the count of Nichols whispered to the lost master.

”Ah? what? Retreat? Where to withdraw? ” The count of Nicholas had not yet awakened from his dream.

He really hoped that what he saw in front of him was just his own nightmare.

”At this moment, when we leave the mountain from Helian mountain pass and enter the fault mountain range, we can use the complex terrain to delay each other, and maybe there is a chance of vitality.” It was obvious that he was not a vulgar man who could become the guard leader of count Nicholas. He soon found out where his students were from.

”No, it's too threatening.” Before count Nichols spoke, there were other places that gathered around count Nichols. The nobleman retorted: ”the army led by the eternal night army unconsciously touched us behind us. The fault mountains would have fallen into the hands of the other party for a long time. Now we are going into the trap. I think the safer way is to rush back from both sides, and there are still some behind us We don't have any other troops that we have assembled. Only when we join them can we be truly safe. ”

”Let's not say whether we can cross the blockade line of Yongye army leader. Even if we do, how can you be sure that the other party didn't mean to let us go? At that time, we will be a group of driven sheep, which will be used to attack our own positions. It is very likely that we will repeat the old way of the present, and we will lose faster. ” The guard leader insisted on his view.

”Although I don't know how the Yongye army leader went around behind us, one thing can be sure is that the number of them will not be too many. Only a small group of troops infiltrated into the area and caught us by surprise.” The local aristocrat was also eloquent, ”in order to cooperate inside and outside, take down the Helian mountain pass to facilitate their army to enter. Maybe their army has been secretly dormant in the fault mountain range. Now we rush in, aren't we throwing ourselves into a trap?”

”How do you know that the Yongye army leading the army behind us is their small unit?””It must be a small group of troops, otherwise, we would not have noticed at all.”

”All your judgments are based on your past experience. The current situation is obviously not applicable. All our Sentinels were previously lost in the fault mountains, not to mention a large number of troops. Even if a small group of troops infiltrated from here, we could not have noticed it.

Even if our sentinels are cleaned up before they have time to deliver information when they infiltrate, there will also be signs. The massive loss of contact of sentries is itself abnormal information.

But before that, we haven't even received half of this abnormal message.

At least until the riot broke out, we had not received any unusual information.

What does that mean?

This shows that the fault mountains are safe for the time being, unless the night army leader can uproot all our spy posts in the middle of the night.

Even in broad daylight, it is not easy to achieve this in rugged mountain roads, even in the dark.

I believe that Yongye Army leaders do not have this ability, and I hope they do not.

If the other party really has the ability, they will not drag it to the present time and launch a night attack behind us. ” Although the guard leader did not hold an important position in the army, he had an advantage that other people did not have. That is, as the leader of the guard in the Earl of Nicholas, he had more and more complete information from the high level.

”You mean that the Yongye army leader didn't penetrate from the fault mountain range. Tell me, how did they get here? Is it hard to fly from the sky with wings? Or did you dig through the whole fault mountain like a mouse? Ha ha... ” At the end of the day, the local aristocrat was amused by his speculation.

Because either way, it sounds so ridiculous.

”It's not impossible.” The guard leader did not laugh, but solemnly said, ”it is not possible to fly in the sky. Although Yongye army leader has giant eagles that can be camel, the number is not large, and the weight is not as high as expected. It is said that the riders who ride them are specially selected. Most of them are light women. They usually perform reconnaissance missions.

And their targets in the air are not small. If they transport troops on a large scale, they can't avoid our eyes and ears.

Most likely, it's underground.

The other side dug through an underground tunnel directly behind us, so that their army was embedded behind us

”Don't you think it's ridiculous when you say that? It's a huge project to dig an underground tunnel hundreds of kilometers long, especially in the fault mountains where 100000 troops are allowed to pass through. Most of the mountains here are composed of hard rock layers. It is more difficult to build a mountain road than ordinary mountains, let alone dig underground tunnels. Do you overestimate Yongye army leader The strength of our country? ”

”It may be difficult to do this by manpower alone, but what if you add skills? In the past, I have heard that Yongye Army leaders have built an underground tunnel that can directly connect brisan and the northern fortress. It only takes a few days for them to deploy troops, and the convenience is even more efficient in a flat plain.
