Chapter 315 Total War (4)

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. The resistance forces we encounter now are just a ragtag group of people, and they won't be able to achieve anything at all.

The only thing I'm worried about now is the group of rebels that the old fox told me about."

"Um, are you talking about the resistance army that His Highness Dairos mentioned, which was surrounded and suppressed by more than 2,000 soldiers and more than 100 magicians but still severely injured our soldiers and escaped?"

"Yes, judging from the information provided by the old fox, the resistance army was organized by several key members of the Thunder Mercenary Group and the Divine Fire Mercenary Group. It is said that the dragon-slaying warrior from the Mercenary Kingdom was also among them.

Moreover, there is a high-level magician above level six in the team, so we must not underestimate their strength."

"If that's the case, wouldn't our operation be very troublesome?" the adjutant asked slightly worriedly.

"Adjutant, pay attention to your image. You are a warrior of Phylicia, show the courage of the Phylicians. There is nothing we can't defeat." After hearing this, the adjutant quickly showed an awe-inspiring expression, which made

Bohemia was very satisfied. He paused and continued, "I have already thought of a solution to the resistance army. First, I must find a way to lure them into appearing, so that the subsequent plan can proceed smoothly.

That dragon-slaying warrior, haha, I would like to get to know him well." Bohemia said, with a proud smile on her face.

At noon, a fierce fight between the resistance army and the Phylician Empire army was going on under Luoyan City.

Since the rebels scattered all over the place were constantly being cannibalized by the Phylicians, most of the rebels chose to unite to deal with the Phylicians after realizing that they could not defeat the powerful Phylician infantry in a head-on confrontation.

However, on the Howling Plains that followed, the Thundertooth Knights under Bohemia once again taught the resistance a vivid lesson - neither the well-trained Phylician cavalry nor the heavy infantry were

The currently unorganized resistance can contend head-on.

In this battle, the resistance army faced 5,000 Felician heavy infantry and 1,000 Thunderfang knights with a strength of 20,000. The result of this battle was shocking. After paying the price of more than 16,000 people, the resistance

The army had to retreat into Luoyan City to prepare for the final resistance.

As for the Phylicians, they only lost a thousand hoplites and dozens of Thunder Tooth Knights.

Due to the continuous defeats, the morale of the resistance army dropped to the bottom. In the offensive and defensive battle of Luoyan in the following days, the resistance of the resistance army still seemed feeble in the face of the Phylicians whose numbers were not superior to theirs.

If the Phylicians hadn't lacked follow-up strength due to long-term fighting at this time, Luoyan City would have been lost long ago.

At this moment, in Felicia's main formation not far from Luoyan City, Bohemia was calmly watching every move on the battlefield.

At this time, a messenger ran to his side.

"Lord Bohemia, everything has been prepared according to your instructions. Lord Neo, the captain of the Thousand Cavalry, has set off with 500 Thunder Fang Knights and 1,000 heavy infantry."

"Well, very good. Let's go down and start the final siege according to the plan. Also, don't forget to inform the people at the north gate. Be sure to create some trouble for the enemy's escape and don't let them pass easily."

"My subordinates will do it now!" The ordering soldier saluted Bohemia with a military salute and immediately trotted away from the formation.

The adjutant beside Bohemia stepped forward with doubts on his face and asked cautiously: "Well, sir, why did you order the soldiers at the North Gate to relax the encirclement of the rebels?

According to our strength, we can completely trap the rebels in the city.

You are now deliberately allowing the rebels to escape through the north gate, and then sending Captain Neo Thousand to intercept them. Isn't it inappropriate to do so..."

"You think I'm letting the tiger go home by doing this, right?" Looking at the adjutant's hesitant expression, Bohemia continued what he was saying.

"No, no, I don't mean that."

"It's nothing, you are right, I don't mean to blame you at all." Bohemia showed a rare smile and continued: "With our strength, it is not impossible to completely annihilate the rebels in Luoyan City.

things realized.

But this way, we will suffer heavy losses during the siege.

Rather than letting them fight in a corner, it is better to open up the net.

You know, if they find there is a chance to escape and ascend to heaven, they will not stick to the city.

Then, by robbing and killing them on their escape route, we can minimize our losses." After hearing Bohemia's words, the adjutant thought about it for a while, and then showed a look of realization on his face.

Another expression of reverence for Bohemia was added.

The battle situation was just as Bohemia expected. After Felicia launched the general offensive, facing a powerful offensive, the resistance finally gave up its plan to defend.

They discovered a "loophole" in the Phylicians' north gate formation, and more than a thousand remaining soldiers forced a breakthrough from there.

After paying the price of half of the casualties, the resistance army broke away from the siege of the Phylicians and entered the mountains behind Luoyan City.

"My lord, you are indeed honorable. The rebels have abandoned the defense of the city as you wished and are now heading towards the encirclement of the Neo Thousand Cavalry Commander."

The previous messenger ran to Bohemia excitedly again and reported the current situation of the war.

"Very good. Pass my order and have the heavy infantry column prepare to clear the battlefield." Bohemia nodded, then turned back to the adjutant standing behind him and said, "Notify all Thunder Tooth Knights to prepare to set off with me."

"Let's go? Sir, where are you going? The resistance is about to enter Sir Neo's encirclement. With their current morale, it is absolutely impossible to escape. Do you still need to go in person?"

"It's not that I'm afraid that these rebels will escape, it's just that for one of them, how could I miss the opportunity to fight with the youngest golden mercenary in the Mercenary Kingdom?" At the same time, the fleeing rebels finally paid a huge price.

They broke out of the encirclement and were trying to retreat north.

The female swordsman Luo Lan, the leader of the resistance army, now regrets extremely that she did not listen to the warning Bogosi gave her.

She actually naively thought that relying on her numerical advantage, she could defeat the seemingly invincible Phylicians on the frontal battlefield.

And this fatal mistake caused tens of thousands of resistance fighters to fall on the battlefield forever. This was a result that she could not accept under any circumstances.

She underestimated the Phylicians' heavy infantry phalanx defense and the speed of the Thundertooth Knights. In the battle on the Howling Plains, although the rebels had a numerical advantage, they were invulnerable no matter what they faced.

The Phylician infantry phalanx was still coming and going like the wind, like ghosts on the battlefield. All resistance seemed pale and feeble.

It was not so much a battle as a massacre.

"Leader Luo Lan, you don't have to blame yourself too much. If you hadn't seen the loopholes in the Felicians' formation, a few of us would still have made it here." A soldier next to Luo Lan saw that Luo Lan

In Lan's mood at the moment, he comforted her with words.

After Luo Lan heard this, she smiled reluctantly and nodded to express her gratitude.

In fact, as the youngest and only female mercenary leader in the Mercenary Kingdom at that time, Luo Lan was quite confident in herself, and it was that confidence that ultimately made her ignore the warning given to her by Bogosi.

He also believed that Bogosi was greedy for life and was unwilling to challenge the Phylician aggression head-on.

But just when Luo Lan was in a slightly better mood, a row of sharp arrows suddenly shot out from in front of him, and the resistance soldier running in front was immediately hit by the arrows and fell to the ground.

Then the sound of war drums sounded, and more than a thousand Phylicians came from all directions, surrounding them to a tight end.

I saw a Phylician officer at the head, wearing a silver armor, standing at the intersection holding a knight's sword, and a shield with a double-headed Thunder Fang emblem on his left hand. This all shows that he is the leader of the Thunder Fang Thousand Cavalry.

identity.

"Capture the thief first, capture the king first, everyone follow me!" Luo Lan shouted to his comrades beside him, while flying forward and rushing towards the Qianqi Commander not far away.

The few soldiers beside Luo Lan were the backbone of the Rose Mercenary Group she led in the past, and their strength was much stronger than that of most resistance fighters.

Seeing that there were only a few people around the Thousand Cavalry Commander, everyone around Luo Lan rushed towards the Thousand Cavalry Commander regardless of their own safety.

But it is a pity that they still underestimated the powerful fighting power of the Thunder Fang Knight.

As soon as there was a fight, more than a dozen resistance fighters fell into a pool of blood.

During the battle, Luo Lan tried her best to block a knight's charge with her long sword, but at this moment, another Thunder Tooth Knight beside her also slashed at her with a knight's long sword.

"Leader, be careful!" Just when Luo Lan had no time to resist, the resistance soldier who had comforted him earlier pounced and pushed her out of the abyss of death, while he himself was hit by the knight's mount and flew to the ground.

And was ruthlessly crushed.

"No!" Seeing that his companions who had been through life and death fell to the swords of the Phylicians one by one, Luo Lan continued to rush towards the Qianqi Commander with all her strength while shedding tears.

At this time, two more Thunder Fang knights rushed towards her on horseback, but Luo Lan was seen only to be short, with the sword in his hand dancing like a butterfly.

Immediately, the horse's leg carrying the knight was split into two by Luo Lan's sword.

The unbalanced war horse immediately fell to the ground and threw the two knights violently far away.

After seeing Luo Lan kill two Thunder Fang Knights with one move, Neo, the Thousand Knight Commander, finally couldn't sit still.

He was seen riding his horse straight towards Luo Lan, the knight's sword in his hand glowing with a faint white light.

Luo Lan didn't dare to confront the knight head-on, so he stood up and planned to repeat the same trick.

But Neo can become the thousand knight commander of the Thunder Fang Knights, so he naturally has his strength.

Just when Luo Lan was about to slash his horse's legs with his sword, he tightened the reins in his hands and the whole horse immediately raised its front legs, narrowly avoiding Luo Lan's attack.

Then the knight's sword in his hand did not pause at all, and directly followed the horse's movement and slashed hard at Luo Lan.

With a loud "clang" sound, Luo Lan quickly retracted his sword, just in time to block Neo's attack.

But at this moment, she felt that the tiger's mouth was numb, and she could no longer hold the long sword in her hand and immediately flew out.

As soon as Neo spurred his horse, he saw his mount raising its legs again and stomping hard on Luo Lan.

Just when she was desperate, she heard a clear string sound coming from behind her.

Then, she discovered that an iron-feathered arrow was stuck in the head of her opponent's horse.

The owner of the horse also reacted quickly and immediately jumped off the horse that was about to fall to the ground with his right hand.

Then, a cry of killing was heard from the north, and a group of people appeared behind the Phylicians.

Taking advantage of this gap, Luo Lan finally saw clearly. The leader of the team was Bogosi, and the golden mercenary Edward was also among them.

Due to the sudden appearance of Bogosi's resistance, the Phylicians' originally solid formation became loose.

Together with Edward, Bogosi and Red, three people rushed into the battlefield, killing each other indiscriminately, as if they were in no one's land. West Road kept opening and closing the longbow in his hand, disappearing like a ghost, wildly harvesting Felicia.
