The 3799th Chapter Hide and Seek (3)
On a hillside at the upper air outlet of the coalition camp, a flame is gradually shrinking. In the past few minutes, it burned the countless piles of dead wood and branches in front of it into charcoal, and the thick smoke from the burning was naturally sent down by the wind and blown into the barracks. Allen stirred up a few dead trees with Qianjun, and a cloud of sparks flew up, fluttering downward.
Glancing in the direction of the barracks, he murmured, "Willick and the others should start too?"
Use thick smoke to disturb and distract the camp garrison. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Willick's strong men led their soldiers to cover up and kill them. Without exception, the sentinels were pulled out by Belmod and the Dark Blade warriors, while Willick and Regis acted as the vanguard of the commando and ruthlessly plunged into the camp of the coalition forces.
Everyone in the commando team wore a cloth towel warmed with water over their noses, and their actions were not greatly affected by the thick smoke. On the contrary, the soldiers of the coalition army under the thick smoke couldn't see who was coming, and they often waited until the soldiers from Allen's side bumped into them before reacting. But at that time, what greeted them was a cold sword.
Willick's heavy punches continued to blast out, and the bursting air waves from the heavy cannon punches swept the enemies down in pieces. On the other side of him, Regis was even more dazzling, with the long sword Xingdao in his hand, moving back and forth, the sword light and sword destructively killed a large number of enemies. With the cooperation of the two, a gap was quickly torn in the camp.
When they came to the middle of the camp, the commandos encountered a strong counterattack. The commander of the coalition forces finally gathered the soldiers, formed a defensive line, and counterattacked heavily with the advantage of numbers. Seeing that the situation was wrong, Willick immediately signaled to retreat, and he and Regis acted as blades when they came. When they went, they stayed behind and waited until the soldiers had almost withdrawn before they left the camp.
Raffles sent people to chase them out, but just as they left the camp, they were met with a wave of fiery missiles. The bombardment was covered by fireballs, and a fire wave more than ten meters long was drawn out, stopping the pursuers. After bypassing the firewall, Willick and others had already disappeared under the night.
Afterwards, the battlefield was counted, and the coalition forces lost another hundred people. Including the soldiers who were poisoned and died before reaching Sunset City, the total number of deaths in the army of the two knights has risen to four hundred, which is already nearly a quarter of the entire army.
This heavy loss made the two knights determined to eradicate Allen before reaching Sunset City, even if it would cause a heavy loss, they would not hesitate. Continuously harassing, Allen's men and horses are like a pack of wolves wandering near their prey. Seeing the opportunity, he tore a bite at the prey, and the two of them naturally felt pain if they tore too much.
So the next day, the coalition forces dispatched at least half of their troops to search for the location of Allen's troops in a carpet-like manner. But to the disappointment of the jazz, they seemed to have disappeared, causing the coalition soldiers to toss for a day, but without any results.
It was another night, and the coalition soldiers slept through the night. The lessons learned from the previous two nights have been profound enough, and they dare not fall asleep carelessly again, giving Allen a chance.
No one wants to be the same as those comrades who were killed inexplicably, only to become the fertilizer of this land in the end. Including the two knights, although everyone was lying on the ground that night, no one could close their eyes for a moment.
But it was surprisingly calm tonight. Allen's pack of wolves seemed to have left, and nothing happened until dawn. But just before dawn, the soldiers who stayed up all night were finally defeated by the Sandman. Not long after closing their heavy eyelids, they heard a strange whistling, followed by an explosion in the barracks. Several tents were blown up, and the air waves overflowed.
The attack came as quickly as it went. After a wave of flaming missiles bombed across the air, the enemy fled far away again, giving the coalition forces no chance to chase them down.
In the next few days, the wolves played hide-and-seek with the coalition forces. When the allied forces went out to search for the team, the wolves retreated far away. When the coalition forces are resting, they will harass the guerrillas in different ways. Or the strong will join forces to attack, or fireball bombing, or collective attack. The endless tricks made the two jazz exhausted, but there was no result.
After a few days, the coalition lost another two hundred soldiers, but there were less than one hundred left on Allen's side. Even the soldiers of the two special forces, Shanwang and Cunhuo, each killed two or three people in battle, and the losses of other ordinary soldiers were naturally greater. The most intense battle between the two sides was when the commander of the coalition forces boldly allowed Allen's troops to go deep, and then opened up two wings to outflank the rear, trapping them to death with numerical superiority.
Alan, who noticed the mobilization of soldiers, decisively issued an order for the entire army to break through. Using his body as a blade, he did not retreat, but went straight to the strongest point of the coalition forces. In the end, they defeated the Chinese army and broke through the siege, but lost many soldiers. This battle made the two Sirs Oulu and Raffles smile bitterly and were speechless, and they were also able to see Alan's bold and ruthless side.
You must know that if he chooses to escape backwards, he will be in the arms of the commander. The soldiers surrounded by the two wings will try their best to block them, while the main force in the rear will catch up and kill Allen's army in one fell swoop. But Allen went in the opposite direction, directly attacking the strongest point in the layout, which left the commander with several backup plans, but none of them could come in handy.
Another day, this day and night, the wolves did not appear. In order to be cautious, the two of Oulu sent several small teams to search the surrounding forests, and finally decided that the wolves were indeed far away before they dared to pull out the whole army. But when they walked on the mountain road that had cleared the obstacles that day, their mood was completely different from when they set off. Anyone who sees one-third of his army being eaten up by guerrilla harassment during this week will not be happy.
What worried the two jazz even more was the morale of the army. After days of attacks, Allen successfully established the impression of an invincible commander in the eyes of these soldiers. His elusive military tactics, as well as his vicious attitude of breaking through the siege in the tragic battle, made the soldiers no longer optimistic about the battle of Sunset City. In addition, before departure, I never thought that there would be such a long delay on the way, so there was a shortage of food. Although he sent troops back to his own territory to dispatch supplies during the period, the troops sent out were like nothing, and they must have been intercepted and killed by Allen on the way.
So the soldiers could only tighten their belts and go on the road, waiting to stand on a high slope and look at the sunset city in the afterglow of the setting sun. Oru sighed deeply, he turned his head and looked at the soldiers behind him. These soldiers are dusty, their faces are yellow, their eyes are blank, and they cannot see the fighting spirit and morale that soldiers should have. Although there are still more than 1,000 troops left, Oulu really has no confidence in whether an army without morale can take down Sunset City.
Allen, who returned to Sunset City, was also covered in dirt, and his appearance was not much worse than that of a tramp. Tommen doubted his eyes very much when he saw him. This young man with messy hair, gray and black face, torn clothes, and incomplete armor is really the Alan who beat him so hard that he couldn't fight back while talking and laughing?
Of course, with Allen's breath there, even if Tormen was blind, he couldn't admit his mistake. When they reunited a week later, Tomen keenly noticed that although Allen looked tired, his breath was more concentrated. With the murderous aura that just left the battlefield on his body, it stimulated Tomen all the time like a substance, making him feel as if he was on his back.
Allen only threw him a sentence: "Prepare us dinner."
Then he retreats to his own room and fights another battle with the grime in the bathroom. It's hard to imagine how comfortable a person who hasn't bathed for a few days will feel after being rinsed with clean water. Anyway, as far as Allen is concerned, that feeling is not much different from the pleasure of a miser looking at a room full of gold. He even hummed a few tunes as he walked out of the bathroom.
Putting on clean clothes, when he came to the restaurant again, Tomen had already rushed out a table of dishes from the kitchen. Although the taste was not so perfect due to the poor heat, Alan couldn't care less about it. There were Belmode and others dining with him, so Tomen watched these men gobble up and wipe out the food on the table in a daze.
Tomen couldn't help but wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and ordered the kitchen to continue cooking. Plates of dishes were handed to the table by the maids like flowing water, and whether it was grilled golden steaks or fresh vegetables mixed with salad, they would all be poured into the mouths by Alan and the others without distinction. For these few people who have not eaten a few full meals like Oru, what is considered now is not the taste or type of food, but the portion!
It took two hours just to eat, and the few people who had finally filled their stomachs sat motionless on the chairs, looked at each other, and then laughed.
The laughter reminded Tommen that they hadn't spoken a single word at dinner. This focus, even if it is used for eating, is quite amazing. At this time, Tomen was able to ask what was in his stomach: "Master Alan, are you doing well this time?"
"It's okay. We fought hard against the opponent several times, weakening about one-third of their troops." Allen briefly took the battles of the past few days with a few words.
Tuomen is not stupid, just from the words "one-third of the troops", he was secretly startled. The coalition forces of Oru and Raffles number at least one thousand or eight hundred people, even if it is one-third, there are as many as five or six hundred people. At that time, the number of troops Allen brought was at most three hundred. With three hundred people against an army six times his own, he was able to eat five or six hundred people. This record is already quite amazing.
What's more, when Allen came back, he also brought back a hundred people. In other words, he spent two hundred people in exchange for three times the enemy's battle losses. This kind of ratio can be regarded as a first-class commander in the empire.
Thinking of this, Tormen has some confidence in the future of Sunset City.
At this time, the warrior with the dark blade came in, whispered to Alan and then withdrew. Everyone's eyes naturally fell on him, and Allen said indifferently: "It's nothing. I just received the news that Oru and the others have arrived. They are resting and camping ten kilometers away. They should launch an attack tomorrow." r1058
