, "It's just a little bit close. If you move forward even an inch, your bones will be broken by it!"
Although Liu Mo and others killed nearly a hundred wolves, in terms of the overall situation, their role was minimal.
More wolves broke into the defense line along the collapsed wooden fence. Once they entered into close combat, the combat effectiveness of this powerful beast was quickly revealed.
Swords, bows and arrows can only cause negligible flesh wounds on their bodies, and can further stimulate the bestiality of these beasts.
The crazy wolf rushes left and right, harvesting fresh life like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
The soldiers standing in front of them were either disemboweled or torn alive by sharp claws.
The howls of wild beasts and the screams of the dead turned the battlefield into a purgatory on earth.
Under such an impact, the situation that had finally been stabilized collapsed again.
The soldiers who were massacred by the wolves were so frightened that they dropped their weapons and fled back crazily.
"We can't stop it anymore, Brother Zhu, retreat to the second line of defense!"
In this case, let alone Liu Mo, even ten Yang Yizhi's presence could not change the situation.
At this time, Liu Mo realized firsthand the terrifying fighting power of the Wolf Warriors, and it was pointless to persist any longer, so he and Zhu Min and others fought and retreated, and soon reached the second line of defense.
However, the situation did not improve.
The enemy troops that were biting them didn't give them any chance to breathe. Before Liu Mo and others could gain a firm foothold, the enemy troops were already killing them ferociously.
It didn't take long for the second line of defense to collapse. The army's rout has taken shape, and the enemy's troops have broken through the defense line with overwhelming force.
As the enemy pressed forward step by step, Liu Mo could only continue to retreat with his men.
"Brother Zhu, Brother Zhao, how about you withdraw first?" he suggested.
"Are you kidding? I have to let you go first!" Zhao Dadao said.
Liu Mo didn't say anything more, the two looked at each other, and then laughed.
A friend in need is a friend indeed, and brothers who never leave each other in life or death are true brothers.
Their actions moved Liu Mo very much.
Then the enemy didn't give them a chance to speak, and a more brutal battle began.
The first one to pounce was still the ferocious wolf. They really had no good way to deal with such a beast.
The sharp claws of the wolf warriors can easily tear apart one's own soldiers. When hundreds or even thousands of wolf warriors gather to launch a charge, wherever they go, there are bloody broken arms and limbs.
If there is no escape route, it will stimulate the determination of the trapped beast to fight.
But the key problem is that the retreat route is wide, and the desire to survive makes Liu Mo's men no longer want to continue fighting desperately.
"Run!"
"Get out of the way, get out of my way, don't block the way."
The first soldier turned around and ran away, triggering a series of chain reactions. The soldiers began to abandon their helmets and flee back as hard as they could.
In order to survive, all discipline, military law, and morality were thrown away and trampled underfoot.
Even though there were troops holding back the formation, the rout had already taken place and no one could stop it.
The situation became more and more critical, and more and more soldiers fled. Shouting and cursing, the miserable wails of those who fell to the ground and were trampled to death resounded throughout the sky.
Liu Mo knew that the war situation was irreversible and that staying to fight might be meaningless, but he still chose to continue fighting.
He knew that it was stupid to do so, and his martial arts would definitely save his life by escaping, but he could not watch his men wailing under the enemy's iron hoof and ignore them.
At least he couldn't do it now, his emotions overcame his reason.
"If I hold on here a little longer, I can let a few more of my men escape."
Thinking of this, he shouted loudly, "The whole army retreats!"
Also staying with Liu Mo were Zhu Min, Zhao Da and others. They had the same idea, to sacrifice themselves and leave the hope of life to their subordinates!
~~~
At this time, a trumpet sound sounded from a distance.
"The enemy's reinforcements?" Hearing the horn sound, even Zhu Min couldn't hold back.
"No, it's impossible!" Liu Mo said, "The enemy has a complete advantage, and there is no need for reinforcements."
In surprise, Liu Mo saw the enemy general also frowning.
"Is it our reinforcements?" he thought to himself, "Could it be that the other two groups have already won a great victory?"
Before long, both sides saw the rear troops.
Heavy cavalry, wearing iron armor, holding high the eight-clawed golden dragon flag.
"It's our reinforcements!" Liu Mo was surprised and happy.
"Form up, form up!" the enemy general shouted loudly.
The enemy troops who had rushed to Liu Mo and others quickly retreated and prepared their defensive formations.
The heavy cavalry flowed slowly toward the enemy camp like thawed honey on a winter morning, over roots and rocks, picking their way among bushes and trees.
The enemy troops rushed forward quickly, shouting and waving their swords and scimitars, charging at them desperately. A cry, a slash, and a heroic death.
The enemy general quickly rode on horseback and led his troops to meet the enemy, followed by thousands of his subordinates.
He brandished his long sword and led a messy wedge-shaped formation into the heavy cavalry.
The war drums were beating, and the enemy hurriedly formed a square formation, but their actions were too late, their organization was chaotic, and their movements were slow.
The enemy emerged from the forest, three neat teams of heavy cavalry, all wearing gleaming black steel armor, from three directions: due east, northeast and due north.
"This is not just a team of scouts, but a large army." Liu Mo thought to himself, "Did the Sixth Prince really win a big victory?"
Soon enough, on the other side of the field, a group of cavalry had charged towards the enemy, and another group penetrated the flank of the eldest prince's spearmen. He and his men were trying their best to turn the group around.
The Hu tribe's wolf warrior troops turned around one after another, which acted as a deterrent to the heavy cavalry on horseback.
Liu Mo found that the armored war horses screamed and fled as soon as they saw the terrifying wolves.
More and more soldiers poured out from it, not only heavy cavalry, but also shield-bearing infantry and archers, numbering in the tens or hundreds. Bright flags flew above their heads.
In the three directions of due east, due north and northeast, the group was still resisting, but was walked straight over by the attackers. They were superior in numbers, but the heavy cavalry had iron armor and tall horses.
The enemy general raised his sword, and people gathered together. The soldiers in a wedge-shaped formation rushed over with guns and swords.
Liu Mo saw the enemy general's war horse standing upright on its hind legs, kicking its hooves wildly, and was stabbed in the chest by a spear.
Then the torrent of steel overwhelmed them.
It's over, Liu Mo thought, the enemy army collapsed.
Seeing this, the Hu soldiers directly chose to flee.
"We won?"
Soon after, a group of cavalry appeared in a wedge-shaped formation from the smoke in the sky, riding armored horses, with the most eye-catching flag flying above their heads.
But, that is not the royal flag.
This means that the main force coming to support is not the Sixth Prince!
Seeing this, Liu Mo had a feeling that something was wrong.
