Chapter 133 Between the advance and retreat

Li Jing couldn't help but frown when he saw the enemy's army launching a continuous attack like a tide.

At this moment, we must see if the Shuangfa side could not hold on first, whether the army of Fulimet could not withstand huge casualties and fled, or the army of Xia could not withstand the pressure and collapsed.

But Li Jing would not put victory on such uncertain conditions. Besides, even if the enemy fled at this time, it would be worse than his wishes.

Li Jing stood on a mountain like a pine tree. A gust of mountain wind came over, blew the battle flag and his robe sounded. He waved his hand and ordered loudly.

"Tell us that the troops in the valley retreat to the halfway up the mountain and stand firm on both sides of the hills."

"Order, the cavalry on the top of the mountain, advance one hundred meters."

"Order, half of the artillery cannon attack the enemy on the side of the mountain."...

A series of orders were issued from Li Jing's mouth, and then the orders were sent out from the commanders to the various troops of the Xia army.

Soon, more than 6,000 infantrymen were divided into two parts according to their respective ownership. The first brigade retreated to the highlands in the west, and the second brigade retreated to the highlands in the east. The two highlands were more than two kilometers apart, and the battles on both sides could be clearly seen.

The battle that originally lush trees attacked for several hours had already been destroyed. Whether it was the attacking party's struggles or the defensive party's muskets and artillery, the vegetation here was considered to be affected by seedlings, but in the coming year, the fertile land here will become greener.

"Shoot, rotate!"

"Fire the gun, load it up quickly."

"Be careful of the enemy's arrows, quickly lift the injured ones down, and fill in the gap behind them."

"Go back, retreat to the next place."

"Order the 12th Regiment to advance three hundred meters and then retreat one hundred meters."...

The soldiers, officers and generals of the Xia Kingdom fought and commanded for a while, and felt comfortable in advancing and retreating, which made the enemy pay a heavy price for every step.

"Run quickly, the one above is almost gone."

"Don't push me, I don't want it, don't go up, you'll die."

"The Knight Chief has an order, and those who retreat will stop and fail to stop, and all those who fail to do so will be executed."

"No, don't kill me, mom, I'm afraid."

"Look, the Xia army has retreated, they are really in a hurry."...

The attack of the Met country's army is much more difficult than the Xia country's army, which is free to advance and retreat. The Xia army seems to be likely to collapse at any time, which makes them unable to help but think: It's too soon, if you add more effort, the Xia army will be defeated and we will win!

But they didn't know that this was exactly the result Li Jing wanted to see. Otherwise, as early as when the enemy was destroyed, the army of Fulimet would have shown signs of collapse, and would not have tried to rush up like this, and they tried hard to do so.

"Report to the Chief Knight, our army suffered heavy casualties, and the frontline knights requested to retreat!"

When Polante heard this battle report, this was the first time he had heard the same battle report. Before he could react, another soldier came to report: "Master Knight, the Xia army has been driven to the top of the mountain and is about to destroy all the Xia army."

"Retreat? Eliminate?" Polante doesn't know what decision to make or what order to make. The two types of battle reports are completely two extremes. He can no longer make a accurate judgment on whether to lose or win.

However, he would rather believe in the news that the Xia army was about to be eliminated than believe in the "lie" he was about to lose.

Because Polante knew that if a 100,000 army could not defeat the more than 30,000 troops in Xia State, then he really didn't dare to think about what the future of the Welimet State would be like.

Therefore, he can only do his best to attack now. As long as he can win this war, it is worth the loss no matter how much it is. And now there is a report that the Xia army is about to be eliminated to add confidence to him.

During the battle, what Polante didn't know was that his so-called 100,000 army was already suffering heavy losses at this moment. If he could count it, he would know that his 100,000 army was only about 50,000, which was half of it.

"Haha~!" Li Jing stood on the top of the mountain and leaned over to look at the enemy getting closer and closer. When he looked at the corpses all over the mountain, he couldn't help but chuckled.

When he saw the sky again, the golden crow had gradually sunk to the west, he nodded secretly and ordered: "The time is almost over, and the soldiers are tired. Order, the whole army will attack!"

More than five hours have passed since the war started in the morning. If the Xia army had not used muskets, such a long battle would have been exhausted. Unlike now, when the warriors heard the attack, the soldiers still launched a vigorous attack.

From this we can see the advantages of muskets. It consumes very little physical energy for soldiers. As long as there is enough ammunition and soldiers who have been strictly trained, they can still survive in these five hours of battle.

When it comes to fatigue, the most exhausting thing in the Xia army should be the artillery. Operating artillery is a physical job, carrying ammunition, loading ammunition, cleaning the cannon chamber... All the artillery players have been resting for several rounds.

Besides, artillery cannons cannot be fired for a long time. They will stop and cool the cannon chamber after a period of time. This is when the artillery is resting and when the enemy launches a fierce attack.

However, these labor and hard work are worth it. At this moment, Li Jing, the commander of the Xia army, had already issued an order to attack the entire army.

"The 10th Regiment starts attack!" "The 11th Regiment starts attack!" "The 12th Regiment starts attack!" "The 20th Regiment starts attack!" "The 21st Regiment starts attack!"...

The orders of attack were at this time, and the enemy troops who were attacking the mountain were at a loss. Although they could not understand the commands of the Xia army, they still felt instinctively from the Xia army's state.

The first to launch the attack was the artillery. The three hundred field artillery on the two hills launched an indiscriminate continuous attack on the enemy troops at the foot of the mountain.

The explosion of "boom boom boom boom" is dense and rapid, which makes the enemy, whose morale is about to collapse, run around with his head in his arms, and doesn't know where to escape.

A soldier from the Welfare Mate hid behind a tree root with his head in his arms, covered his ears tremblingly, enduring the continuous mud and gravel falling on his body.

Suddenly, he felt something was wrong under him. He looked down and opened his eyes. It turned out that he was squatting on a corpse with a big dark hole on his head.

"Ah~!" The soldier couldn't bear the loud and fearful shout, and his body stood up. He felt the explosion in his ears gradually disappear. He looked around for a blink of an eye, and he couldn't believe what he saw.

"Ah~!" Another shout was heard. The soldier looked at the corpses everywhere around him. He didn't know when there were so many corpses around him, and he was covered with a layer on the ground.

If he looked closely, he would find that all the corpses were soldiers from the Fulimet Kingdom, but the soldier no longer had the energy to observe these things at this moment. He only saw four or five soldiers from the Fulimet Kingdom running down the mountain with corpses all over the ground.

No, he probably escaped. "Bang~Bang~Bang~Bang~" A few familiar sounds came from behind. The soldier only felt something flying past his cheek, and a trace of blood appeared behind the soldiers who were running away to the mountain beside him, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a member of the corpse all over the ground.

The soldier seemed to have a premonition. He stiffened his body and slowly turned backwards. He saw a row of Xia soldiers walking out of the woods in a row and stopped more than fifty meters in front of him. There seemed to be more Xia soldiers behind him.

"Rise the gun and prepare to shoot!"

"Bang bang bang~!"

The soldier couldn't understand the command of Xia State. He just saw the row of Xia State soldiers holding a long, strange black stick. Then a loud bang of blue smoke came out from the front of the black stick, and a familiar and crisp sound came out, and then he felt like something was hit by his body.

When he fell to the ground, he looked at the gradually dim sky through the little blue smoke, and finally understood what the sound was. The last thought in his mind was: "So this is Xia Jun's weapon, it's so powerful..."
