When the Fire Phoenix Corps had packed up their equipment and were ready to go, I, the staff, and Matthew had already discussed what to do in the next phase, from choosing a breakout route, the enemy troops to break through, the contingency plans that needed to be made, and where we should move to after the breakout, as well as how to build a reserve base, obtain food and armaments, and harass the enemy.
During this period, the East Continental Alliance did not do much. The troops that attacked the Fire Lion Legion began to repair the barracks they had breached, collect the bodies, and treat their own wounded.
The East Continental coalition forces that besieged us and existed as a reserve army did not have much intention to attack us. They could not send out any cavalry troops that could threaten us except for infantry. After all, against an all-cavalry army like ours, especially an army that had already made it clear that it was planning to escape, except for cavalry, those infantry troops simply could not have much impact on us. And if they wanted to besiege us with infantry, they would have to multiply the number of troops in their hands several times before it would be possible.
At the same time, through the telescope, I also saw the troops fleeing from Red Moon City in the distance, approaching the cavalry troops without any flags. A bunch of idiots, just looking at the enemy's formation, anyone with a little sense would know that this is an attack formation. If the enemy is their own people, they don't need to put on such a posture of being unloved by their parents. They should have sent a guiding force to guide or integrate the defeated army. Now, you guys who mistakenly take wolves for your own kind, wait for your own bitter consequences!
"Sir, why don't we retreat first? If we don't leave, we will most likely be attacked by the cavalry returning from the Fire Lion Legion camp..." Seeing that I was just looking around with a telescope but had no intention of retreating, Matthew began to get worried and couldn't help but ask me.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you see that the enemy is not forcing us now? Besides, it will take at least an hour for the cavalry to run over from the Fire Lion Legion's camp? By the time they arrive, we won't even be able to see a single person." I answered Matthew easily, but of course that was not my main point. Seeing Matthew's worried look, I finally couldn't bear to let him guess: "Who do you think the East Continental Coalition will deal with first if we run now? And if we break through with the Fire Phoenix Legion at the same time... How many troops do you think will come to chase us? After all, our army is so small. Just based on the number of people, the East Continental Coalition should be chasing 30,000 people, right?"
"Yes! Your Excellency is indeed wise... In this way, our chances of leaving safely will be more than doubled. However, if we retreat with them, will their legion commander make some bad suggestions? Will they let us play as the vanguard..."
"Fuck, don't mention that woman to me again... If she dares to do that, I will... will... fucking kill her. Anyway, I won't let her command our troops. If it's really like what you said, then I'll just destroy her..." It would have been better if Matthew didn't mention it. But when he did, I got furious, and I almost shouted out a lot of things that I shouldn't have said.
"Sir, they are coming out..." Suddenly, Matthew poked my boots hard with the butt of his gun, making various expressions on his face and reminding me in a low voice.
"Captain Shen, you haven't left yet! I wonder how you plan to retreat? Retreat with us?" As soon as Matthew finished speaking, the voice of the woman Feng Ya rang out.
"No, I just want to break out separately with your corps. If my division breaks out with your troops together, I think since we have no relevant cooperation experience, it will be terrible if there is a lack of coordination during the breakout... So, I want to break out separately with your troops, and I have already chosen two breakout routes for myself, so as to avoid confusion with your corps..." This time I didn't dare let this damn woman speak first. I'd better strike first. I don't believe you have to act with me.
"So how and where is Commander Hanlong going to break out? I'd like to refer to your plan to see if I can get some inspiration from it."
A higher rank can crush a person. Although Feng Ya's words just now sounded very good and seemed to be courteous to me, I also knew that if the suggestion I put forward was suitable for the Fire Phoenix Army, then she would definitely take my plan for herself. But it doesn't matter. My plan is very simple, that is, relying on the speed of the horse, I can get rid of the entanglement of the infantry of the East Continent as quickly as possible, and then wait for an opportunity to attack or get rid of the magician troops of the Kingdom of Yan.
After hearing my plan, Feng Ya immediately fell silent. Although they were mainly composed of cavalry archers like me, their archers could not reach the opponent's magician troops at all. If they implemented my two plans, I'm afraid that the number of people who could escape from their three divisions would be less than half of the total force.
"Then we will break out to the left, that is, in the middle of the two light infantry divisions and the two heavy infantry divisions. You will go out from there, what do you think?" After hesitating for a few seconds, Feng Ya made a decision. Their troops chose a road where the troops of the East Continent were relatively concentrated, and pointed me to a road with a large number of magician troops.
"Okay, let's split up and break out! Please take care of yourself, Commander Fengya..." After a simple farewell, I immediately rode my horse to the main force of the army. Aren't they just magicians? What's there to worry about... Before I told you my plan, I knew you would definitely assign them this way.
Hehe, now I'll let you go and eat those infantrymen from the East Continent! Imagine, how could the infantrymen from the East Continent, who have suffered enough from me, be so careless as before? I'm afraid they will use tower shields to protect themselves tightly, right? When a hedgehog meets a turtle shell, I really don't know what will happen
But I will never face those terrifying combinations of heavy infantry and magicians again. After the opponent's heavy infantry is prepared, I am not sure I can deal with the heavy infantry with tower shields and magicians behind them, and the opponent will also go all out to deal with me...
