Feng Du and the Five Ghosts and Gods, who had few abilities left, led more than 500 cavalry to retreat first. They planned to assemble a wave not far away. Seeing Feng Du's follow-up troops gradually gathering, Xia Yashuang did not issue an order to flee immediately.
Because many soldiers and horses fell into the quagmire, they seemed to have fallen into a swamp, sinking deeper and deeper, and could only rely on their surrounding comrades for rescue. Some soldiers and war horses were tied up by various strange plants, requiring the surrounding comrades to constantly cut the thick stems with knives. Other soldiers and horses were blown thousands of meters away by Feng Du's superpower, and they were coming quickly. Some soldiers were injured and needed help from their comrades around them before they could get up. Many war horses died, and the soldiers had no horses to ride.
In the small confrontation just now, Xia Yashuang's army defeated hundreds of enemy soldiers, but his own army formations had all been broken up, and the scene was in chaos. Even though Xia Yashuang kept issuing orders to assemble and reload, the progress was surprisingly slow. Even more serious is the problem of many dead horses. I don’t have time to count them carefully now, but it is estimated that at least two thousand horses died.
When Xia Yashuang armed this elite force, she gave priority to building A-level armors for all soldiers. This also resulted in no excess blue ore to build armors for war horses. Moreover, in order to pursue speed, war horses do not like to wear thick armor, so they only wear light armor and soft armor. Only the front part of the horse is equipped with hard armor with spikes. This kind of equipment is no problem against ordinary soldiers, but it is really difficult to resist against powerful superpowers. So in the battle just now, not many of Xia Yashuang's soldiers were killed, but there were too many casualties on the horses.
Xia Yashuang is extremely anxious now, because there is not much time left for him. In ten minutes at most, Feng Du can complete the first wave of gathering, with a minimum number of 10,000 people. As long as these ten thousand people catch up, Xia Yashuang's army will be doomed, even if it has A-level armor, it will be exhausted. As every minute passed, Feng Du's army grew larger and larger. Now even without a telescope, you can see the opponent's densely packed troops.
In the end, Xia Yashuang had to make a cruel decision, which was to abandon the soldiers in need of rescue and immediately start fleeing westward. Those soldiers who did not have war horses but had no problem moving around jumped on the horses of their comrades, and the two of them shared a war horse.
In this way, Xia Yashuang once again ordered the entire army to run west. But the price was that hundreds of people stayed.
When Feng Du saw Xia Yashuang running again, he did not wait for the troops behind him, but immediately ordered the pursuit.
More than 9,000 people fled, and more than 10,000 people were chasing behind them. But this time, everyone was not moving very fast. They seemed to be consciously maintaining their formation and pursuing the maximum number of troops. If you run too fast, your troops will only become more and more dispersed, and it will be useless even if you catch up.
General Dou suggested: "Your Majesty, we can continue to slow down."
"Why?"
"Both our horses and Xia Yashuang's horses are actually very tired now. Even if they run hard, they may not be able to catch up. But as long as we slow down, they will also slow down. Do you believe it?"
"I believe you ghost!"
"Your Majesty, it's true. Look, a few of them have fallen behind."
"That's why we have to pursue him so hard."
"Your Majesty, if you think about it carefully, we are in hot pursuit and can only kill a few stragglers every once in a while. Even if it takes a few hours, we won't be able to kill many, and our rear army will be getting further and further away from us. . How about we slow down gradually, firstly, so that the rear army can gradually catch up, and secondly, we can all have time to recover our superpowers."
"You mean to deliberately delay the time so that we can restore our abilities. After that, I
They just repeat their old tricks, rush over and use a wave of skills like crazy, so they can easily kill hundreds of people? "
"Yes, and as long as the speed slows down, we can arrange more superpowers. When the time is right, we will rush over and release a wave of skills. Maybe we can leave thousands of people behind."
"I have already thought of your idea. I am just worried that Xia Yashuang will speed up when she sees that we have slowed down."
"Probably not, because if the horses slow down, they can still run for more than ten hours. But if the horses still run with all their strength, they will soon collapse from exhaustion. If Xia Yashuang and we continue to run desperately, then they The speed at which they will fall behind will become faster and faster. As far as I know, Xia Yashuang is very cautious about his troops, and he will not be willing for his men to fall behind one after another. My subordinates believe that Xia Yashuang needs to slow down more than us at this time. "
"Okay, General Dou, your words are very convincing. The whole army is gradually slowing down."
On the other side, Xia Yashuang's lieutenant sensed that Feng Du's army was slowing down, and immediately asked Xia Yashuang excitedly: "I didn't feel wrong, right? Feng Du's army is slowing down."
"You are right, they are indeed gradually slowing down."
"That's great. Have they given up?"
"It's impossible. Feng Du will not hesitate to attack several cities and will not give up easily."
"Then why don't we speed up and get rid of them?"
"If we speed up, of course we can completely get rid of them, but thousands of us will be left behind. Those who are left behind will either die or be assimilated by them. Do you want our soldiers to be given away to them in vain?" Xia Yashuang asked.
"But think about it from another perspective, isn't it worth sacrificing more than a thousand people to save the remaining eight or nine thousand people from danger?"
"No, these soldiers are all elite soldiers I raised. Don't you know how much effort I put into them? I work so hard in business and the huge wealth I earn is all on them."
"My subordinate understands." Seeing Xia Yashuang cherishing the soldiers so much, the deputy general stopped trying to persuade him.
"By the way, tell me to go down and slow down appropriately."
"What? Why do we have to slow down too?" the deputy general said in surprise.
"Didn't you see? Our rear army is slowly falling behind, slow down and let them catch up. Maintaining the formation is the most important thing. As long as our formation is maintained, Feng Du will not dare to rush over easily."
"Okay." The deputy general said helplessly.
After that, Xia Yashuang and Feng Du actually continued to reduce their speed. They kept lowering the speed tacitly. The original speed of 80 kilometers per hour gradually dropped to 30 kilometers per hour. You know, if you just use this speed, the physical consumption of the war horse will become very low.
After all, they are all carefully selected high-quality products. If you run at a low speed, the physical consumption is almost negligible. As long as the war horses are fed energy-replenishing liquid, they can regain their strength even while running.
Xia Yashuang's lieutenant felt it was amazing: "Lord, it's amazing. We lowered the speed, and Feng Du also lowered the speed. Now our war horse not only does not consume physical strength, but is also slowly recovering."
But Xia Yashuang sneered: "Don't be too happy. No matter how we reduce the speed, Feng Du keeps a distance of about one thousand meters from us. Moreover, as time goes by, Feng Du and the others' abilities are also recovering, In addition, the number of their troops is also increasing. If I guess correctly, Feng Du's strength at this time has reached 15,000. It is estimated that in another hour, all 20,000 of their cavalry will be gathered together, and then they will be able to Rush over with all your strength."
Hearing this, the deputy general felt bad: "Then why don't we speed up? Are we watching them gradually gather together?"
"Feng Du has Feng Du's little abacus, and we have our little abacus. It's almost done. We are very close to Nanshan City. You pick a few men with the best endurance and rush to Nanshan City as fast as possible. Asking for help.”
"But will the Lord of Nanshan City agree to help?"
"I can't say 100%, but the possibility is very high, and I heard that Lu Bingfeng is also in Nanshan City. After you entered the city, you ordered your subordinates to secretly spread the news, saying that Feng Du, the king of the ghosts and gods, personally led an army to invade Nanshan City. They are currently attacking Nanshan City. Come here. In addition, the army of Jiang Zhi's forces, the warriors led by Xia Yashuang himself, are rushing to Nanshan City. I hope Nanshan City can send troops to standby and block the ghost and god soldiers together with Xia Yashuang."
"Understood, we'll go right away."
In this way, the deputy general led these men to run with all their strength, reaching a speed of 120 kilometers per hour.
This lieutenant and his horses are the best of the best horses, and they can travel thousands of miles in a day with ease.
In just two hours, they arrived at Nanshan City. After arriving, the horses were exhausted.
The lieutenant general sighed: "The horses are so tired even if they are not even elites."
The deputy general got off the horse, introduced himself to the guards of Nanshan City, and briefly told the general situation.
The guards of Nanshan City realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately called their leaders, who called their superiors. The news soon reached the ears of the city lord.
The city lord ordered those people to enter the city. At the same time, he rushed to the west gate in person, planning to meet Xia Yashuang's lieutenant on the way.
One of the deputy general's men sneaked away while going to the toilet. He then sneaked into a radio station, threatened the staff, and spread the news through the radio and the Internet.
For a time, Nanshan City's network was flooded with news of ghost soldiers invading Nanshan City.
While the news was spreading, the city lord also met with Xia Yashuang's deputy general.
"Excuse me, who are you, Your Excellency?"
"I am Bao Wenhua, the chief deputy general under Xia Yashuang."
"It turns out that General Bao has heard something about it."
"We are no longer polite. I have made the matter very clear to you. Please immediately organize a large army to join our main force and destroy Feng Du and the others together."
"Eliminate...eliminate Feng Du? This thing is too sudden."
Just when the city lord was hesitating, the city lord's secretary whispered into his ear: "The whole city's Internet is talking about this matter."
"What?" The city lord immediately took out his mobile phone and checked the Internet. The results were all messages like this. Almost everyone was talking about this matter, and the voices on the Internet were all unanimous, that is, to send troops to join forces with Jiang Zhi and resist together. Feng Du's army.
After reading it for a minute or two, the city lord was so angry that he cursed Bao Wenhua: "Did you do this? Why should ordinary people know these things?"
"Because we don't have much time. My lord Xia Yashuang's army will be here in four hours at most. If you still hesitate, then everyone is doomed. So I have no choice but to incite public opinion and make a decision for the city lord. "
"Are you kidding me? No matter what the decision is, it will be decided through internal deliberations at the top. How could I be swayed by the public opinion of civilians?"
"By the time you have discussed it, the day lilies will be cold."
"That must be discussed, and it is unforgivable for you to mobilize public opinion without authorization. If anyone comes, lock them up first." The city lord said angrily.
