A leisurely city for solo travelers

Chapter 273

At noon, Li Ru was fanning his fan in boredom, continuing this boring guerrilla warfare, when he suddenly heard the roar of the wind, and when he looked up, he saw that it was a carrier pigeon that violated the peace.

He frowned instinctively.

Carrier pigeons are precious information props. Each city can only produce one per week, which is used by generals in the city to contact generals outside the city.Generally, carrier pigeons are not needed unless there is a special emergency.

He hastily peeled off the letterhead——

"The Deng Ai team attacked Chengdu from a small road, and is expected to arrive in Hanzhong on the fourth day of the 14th week. The speed is amazing-Zhang Lu."

Li Ru immediately dropped the note and checked the time.

Now is No.14 week, the third day.

"How is it possible?!" Li Ru tore up the sticky note and held his fan, "It only takes two hours for the pigeon to arrive here. Zhang Lu will notify me as soon as he finds out that Deng Ai is attacking. It is such a long mountain road. Can the sky rush in?"

As soon as he finished cursing, he was shocked again.

When Deng Ai captured Chengdu, he used this weird tactic to capture Chengdu at a speed and route that exceeded common sense.

Could it be that this is Deng Ai's stunt?

But no matter what kind of stunt, it shouldn't reach such a speed. Could it be that he used flying?
fly……

"Not good." Li Ru immediately turned his eyes to the Nanman troops in the distance. Although he could see the angels and griffins of the brother-in-law's team, he couldn't see the number clearly.

That's how the game is set up, without acrobatics, without engaging in combat, with no insight into enemy troop numbers.

"Could it be..." Li Ru took a deep breath, "Perhaps the Meng You team only brought a very small number of griffins and angels, and most of them were on the Deng Ai team's side... If this is the case, we should go forward and besiege immediately."

"But that little girl... is it that simple? Maybe Deng Ai's team is a cover to lure our army to attack?"

"Which side is it?!" Li Ru thought about it, furious.

This is a game between counselors. Li Ru thought that he had the initiative time and time again, but he found out time and time again that he was the one who faced the problem.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and every time the sun crossed an angle, Deng Ai's troops were closer to Hanzhong.

Surround Nanman and give it a go; or return to Hanzhong and use the city wall to defend?
Li Ru calculated the gains and losses in the meantime.

In the end, he ordered: "Order the four-way army to retreat slowly back to Hanzhong, and don't let the enemy find out."

The four wolf riders led away, and Li Ru frowned at the Nanman brigade.

"In a life-and-death battle, we can't take risks. The delay has been enough, which has suppressed the morale of the southern barbarians. For the rest, we only need to defend, and the lord will win."

Soon after, the Nanman army also moved, and the formation was completely pulled apart, ignoring the whole army, and the whole army rushed towards the outermost Deng Ai army.

That is the Zhonghui team responsible for copying the back road.

Seeing this, the four groups of people formed a double-team formation as before, Zhong Hui retreated all the way, and the other three teams rushed forward.

But at this time, the cavalry ordered by the army division came again, clamoring to withdraw their troops.

For a time, the leaders of each team were faced with a dilemma.

On Li Ru's side, he was already gnashing his teeth with hatred.

How could the time be so coincidental?
He rubbed his forehead frantically, thinking in an endless loop.

"Kill...withdraw...kill...withdraw..."

Before he could give another order, the other three groups had already made their own choices.

The Ma family, after all, are staunch people, they have been suffocating enough from scratching their boots for a week, and at the same time they are all pretentious people who believe in their own judgment.

Immediately, the three-way army surrounded them.

However, this time it was Nanban who led Ma Tengjun by the nose, and the Behemoths at the front stopped suddenly, waiting for the ogre behind to catch up, and then resumed their defensive formation.

The Ma family couldn't bear it any longer, and headed by Ma Teng, they rushed forward, ignoring the orders of the military division.

Li Ru watched this scene from a distance, not knowing whether it was right or wrong, the Ma family helped him make a choice.

"In the end, it's me..."

Here, the Nanman troops put on thick rattan armor and were ready for a tough battle.

Ma Teng's four teams arrived almost at the same time.

The character Hu Ma Teng is in the east, Jin Ma Chao is in the south, Ma Dai is in the north, and Zhonghui is in the west.

Yuyan glanced at their troops, smiled lightly and said, "Didn't Li Ru tell you to withdraw?"

Ma Teng stared at the Southern Barbarians, and said in a deep voice, "My Ma family has my own choices."

Yuyan shook her head: "Hey...you have wasted your only wisdom."

Entering the battle scene, the Fourth Army confronts the Second Army.

Here is the mixed army of strongholds and castles, and there is the detachment of the stronghold of Ma Jiasan and his son, as well as the army of Hanzhong Cemetery led by Zhong Hui, distributed in the four directions of the Nanban army.

The Archangel has an absolute mobility advantage and has the right to take the lead in action.

"Uncle Xian, you take charge."

"Well, I'm still very confident in this aspect." The brother-in-law who played Heroes Might & Magic badly ignited his confidence, and said with a grin, "Old Ma, let me show you how to break through this kind of inferior siege!"

First of all, of course, is Hua Junshi's group prayer, which moderately increases the attributes and movement speed of all troops.

Subsequently, the Nanban troops rushed to Ma Dai's direction collectively.

Ma Dai's subordinates are long-range troops composed of Orcs and Cyclops, and were first targeted by Nanman.

Archangel and wolf cavalry can get close in one round. Although the number of enemies killed is limited, it effectively prevents the output of long-range troops.

Of course, the speed stunts of the Ma family's troops are not vegetarians. The wolf cavalry and Beamon also entered the Nanban formation in just one round. They also chose to suppress the long-range troops, and the rest of the troops also quickly pressed on.

For the rest of the time, it will be a real battle with real swords and guns, there is no loophole to take advantage of, this is not Guandu, and there is no Wuchao.

In other words, being able to move the battle location outside the city is already an advantage for Nanman.

Li Ru finally saw clearly that the number of archangels on Nanman's side was - 53.

"In the end... is it fake..." Li Ru sat on the ground paralyzed, "I have been tricked, and I can only rely on the master's bravery."

The collective charge of the Ma family's troops, on the one hand, can have a suppressive effect, but in the strategy of heroes invincible, it violates the taboo of the troops being out of touch.

They surnamed Ma fought happily, but Zhong Hui's cemetery army was very slow, and it took three to four rounds to get close.

Ever since, the first two rounds turned into an encirclement battle between the two armies of the Nanban army against the troops at the Ma Teng stronghold.

With the double improvement of attribute BUFF and rattan armor, the Southern Barbarian army is like an impregnable existence, and even the most vulnerable big-eared monster is as heroic as an ogre.

In the head-to-head bloody battle, the Archangel and the wolf cavalry continued to contain Ma Dai's long-range troops, and the rest of the troops rushed forward. A large number of Halberdiers, Crusaders, Griffins, Knights, Ogre Kings, Beamon, etc., all fired their firepower.

After all, Ma Teng's troops still lacked a strategist, so they could only ask Zhong Hui to cast some painless magic such as "Death Ripple" every round.

In the third round, when Zhong Hui's troops had just started to approach, Ma Teng's troops had lost nearly 2/3, while the Nanman army had lost less than 1/4.

"How is it possible? My son is so brave, to be restrained..." Ma Teng finally started to panic at this moment.

Jin Machao frowned, no matter how handsome his appearance was, he couldn't hide his sadness.

"The enemy's attack is no less than ours...the defense is three times that of ours, father, do you want to..."

Ma Teng twisted his expression: "Zhu Rong, a terrible enemy."

Ma Dai said: "Father, if we continue to fight, the whole army will be wiped out. It is better to retreat to Hanzhong. When reinforcements arrive, we can fight the barbarians."

"But if that's the case, you're selling General Zhong..." Ma Teng was caught in a dilemma.

"Zhong Hui is not a good man or a believer, but a desperate father. This battle is related to our survival. I hope my father will think twice!"

Ma Teng hesitated for a long time, and finally waved his arms: "Withdraw..."

At this time, Ma Dai's long-range troops were dead, and the so-called withdrawal was nothing but the remnants of Ma Teng and Ma Chao's subordinates.

Faced with the "withdrawal" of the Ma family's troops, the Nanman troops naturally "chased" desperately, pressing on with all of them, eating as much as they could.

And the poor Zhonghui team, just met the enemy's hair, but saw the enemy go away, there was nothing to do.

The pursuit battle in this dense forest can be said to be full of corpses. The angels and Behemoth troops of the Nanman remained intact, and they slaughtered the broken legs of the Ma family all the way without any kindness.

In the end, only the single-digit Beamon was left behind by the Ma family, who fled with some wolf riders.

This battle with real swords and guns made the Ma family know what strength is, and what it means to amass huge troops with a huge internal affairs.The troops in the three cities of the castle played a huge role, which is simply incomparable to Zhonghui's broken legs in the cemetery.

"The most important thing in legion warfare is mobility." My brother-in-law saw the enemy escaping, and he was very heroic. "All tactics should be formulated around the troops with the least mobility. However, the Ma family just charged blindly and manipulated the chessboard. The game is played as a cavalry charge, fighting more with less, it really does not have the style of a general."

At this time, everyone turned their heads and faced the panicked cemetery army.

Commander Zhong Hui's eyes were unprecedentedly perplexed.

"I'm leaving now...what should I do?"

The Ma family trio withdrew from the battle one by one, leaving the hapless Zhong Hui behind.

At this time, it was King Zhu Rong's turn to go out again. She knew Zhong Hui's temperament well, and she must eat the meat that was brought to her mouth.

"Surrender and surrender, spare your life, seal the petty official's job, you can retire."

Previously, he did not accept Deng Ai's refuge because he was dissatisfied with his arrogant ambition and attitude.

But now, the perspective of the dialogue has changed, it is a kind of tolerance for the mortal.

Zhong Hui stood blankly for a long time and finally lowered his head.

"Zhonghui...is willing to vote."

Afterwards, the flag changed, and the cemetery brigade surrendered to King Zhurong's Huohong.

"Where's Liu Zhang?" King Zhu Rong was in a good mood, calling out to the middle-aged man.

"Here, Your Majesty!" Liu Zhang escaped from the pile of monsters with big ears in embarrassment.

"Go and take over Zhonghui's troops."

"Ah?" Liu Zhang panicked. Leading troops to fight?Or the Cemetery Army... This is so inconsistent with my STYLE.

King Zhu Rong smiled kindly: "Try it out, you can be regarded as the hero who won Hanzhong, and the old magistrate Liu has a bright face."

"Great... Great King..." On Liu Zhang's immature middle-aged face, there was a flash of emotion, and there was all kinds of warmth in his heart.

It turned out that King Zhu Rong called him here not only as a mascot hostage, but also to help him make military exploits?
Thinking about the previous life, I have experienced all the aggrieved things that should have been experienced, and the opportunity to feel proud is only at this time!
Liu Zhang also gritted his teeth and stepped forward to accept the order: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"It's Her Lady Queen."

Liu Zhang tried his best to muster up his courage and walked towards Jiang Zhonghui.

This time, he couldn't embarrass his father again.

Of course, this kind of thought is a bit strange in the mind of a 30-year-old middle-aged man.

Zhong Hui just shook his head and sighed.

Zhu Rong, Zhu Rong, in your eyes, I, Zhong Hui, are not as good as this good-for-nothing...

However, the king's order cannot be disobeyed. He finally handed over the command of the army and returned to Zhu Rong's team alone.

"Zhong Hui." King Zhu Rong looked at Zhong Hui, showing neither hostility nor mercy, "For the sake of your surrender, I will give you a job. If you are dishonest, it will not be so simple next time."

"...Yes, Your Majesty."

(The state is very poor, there are few, and it is too late for this update, sorry.)
