7797 Chapter 7795-too late to leave

This time, they had fired 12000 armor-piercing crossbows empty. The original ideal target was to kill 2000 to 3000 people and injure 2000 to 3000 people, causing the garrison of the kings city to fall into chaos.

This way, they could slow down Lin Yis Army and find an opportunity to slowly eat them up.

Perhaps in a few days, he would be able to completely defeat this elite force of the capitals Garrison.

What they did not expect was that when they walked out of the forest, what they saw was the Kingdoms Garrison, who were waiting in formation!

Twelve thousand armor-piercing crossbows Did not even cause one hundred casualties!

Failed!

In fact, the operation should have been canceled when they found out that the garrison of the kings city was on guard. It was just that the commander was unwilling to give up and felt that it would be unreasonable not to try.

Since the distance was quite far, they quickly finished shooting two sets of crossbow arrows and directly retreated to the forest, not afraid of the counterattack of the garrison of the kings city.

Although the forest was not big, the trees were close to each other, and the cavalry could not gallop through it.

There were also mountains on both sides, making it impossible to pa.s.s through. If the garrison of the kings city came to pursue them, the 2000 of them could shoot two more sets of crossbow arrows.

Out of the 20000 soldiers in the Royal capitals Garrison, there were only 4000 cavalrymen. The armor-piercing crossbows were the true meat-grinding machines against cavalrymen!

Speed up the retreat and get into formation again after we leave the forest!

The leader of the ambushers saw Lin Yi and the 800 guards charging out from the side, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.

A mere eight hundred people dared to come and chase two thousand crossbowmen?

He was really looking for death!

Lin Yi didnt know that the enemy had already given him a death sentence. On the contrary, the two thousand soldiers in ambush were the real dead people in Lin Yis eyes.

The 800 personal guard units were indeed selected and established last night, but they were all elites!

There was no doubt that these people were strong, and Lin Yi had taught them a little bit of battle formations last night. He brought them out to let them practice.

The Black Spirit Ferghana horses galloped at full speed, and not long after the two thousand soldiers retreated into the forest, the eight hundred cavalrymen had already swept over, and they only stopped in unison when they reached the forest.

Dismount from your horses and pursue them. Follow the battle formation I taught you yesterday. Split up into groups of five and enter the forest. Kill all enemies you meet!

Lin Yi ordered calmly as he raised his right hand and swung it forward!

The 800 Guards unit soldiers dismounted in unison, each forming a five-man battle formation, and scattered into the forest.

After choosing last night, Lin Yi didnt teach too many battle formations, only the simplest formation for five people. He didnt have much of a choice.

The leaders expression changed-Lin Yis speed was beyond his expectations.

However, when he saw that there were only about 800 people, he relaxed a little.

An order quickly pa.s.sed through the ambush group, and the two thousand men split into two. Half of them took the dismantled crossbows and continued to retreat, while the other half took out their handheld crossbows and hid, facing the direction of Lin Yis personal guard Camp.

Lin Yis spirit sense covered the entire area, and he knew where these people were. He ordered with a cold smile,Pay attention to the enemys crossbow ambush. All teams, continue to spread out and surround them!

In Lin Yis eyes, this pursuit was a real combat practice after the formation of the guards unit. This level of command and hints was enough. There was no need to tell the soldiers the enemys position too clearly.

To be able to kill the enemy while protecting themselves was the most basic requirement for them.

The eight hundred soldiers of the guards unit did not respond loudly, but carried out the order in silence. The five-man teams spread out further, forming a net and surrounding the enemy.

Eight hundred surrounded two thousand!

The distance between the two sides quickly closed, and the remaining 1000 soldiers in ambush began to aim and shoot.

The power of a hand crossbow was far less than that of the armor-piercing crossbow, but its firing speed was extremely fast at close range. Almost as soon as it was fired, the arrow had already reached the target.

Lin Yis body swayed slightly as he stepped on the b.u.t.terfly steps, and the arrows all slid past him, not causing any threat.

The eight hundred personal guards were worthy of being the elites of the capitals Garrison. Facing the dense barrage of crossbow arrows, their expressions did not change.

They dodged, hit, or were protected by their companions, but none of them were injured.

In this process, the guards unit did not slow down at all, still charging towards the ambus.h.!.+

They are all elite experts! Draw your swords and engage in close combat!

The remaining one thousand commanders of the hidden troops shouted and raised their hands to shoot the arrows.

He then directly threw the crossbow at the approaching Guards unit soldiers. At the same time, he pulled out a short knife from his waist and pounced on the other party.

The others reacted almost the same. The crossbows that could not be loaded in time were already useless, and they were all thrown at the guards unit soldiers as hidden weapons.

In the next moment, the short knives of the thousand soldiers met the standard weapons of the guards unit.

The other thousand soldiers who were about to retreat from the forest all looked at their commander.

At this time, they had the advantage in numbers. It was not impossible for them to fight two thousand against eight hundred.

However, if only half of them were left to cover the retreat, it would be difficult to say if the other half would be able to retreat in one piece!

The commanders eyes flickered. There were too many unexpected things today, and they had completely deviated from their original plan.

The first reason was that they did not cause any damage to the guards of the palace. The second reason was that they did not expect the pursuers to come so quickly. The third reason was that the 1000 men who covered the rear could not stop the 800 pursuers with their crossbows!

If 2,000 of them attacked together, would there be a fourth accident?

Retreat! Hurry up!

The commander of the ambush hesitated for a moment before making a decision.The armoring-piercing crossbows are the most important things. We cant be entangled here. There are still nearly 20000 guards of the kings city behind us!

The last sentence seemed to be explaining to his subordinates, but it also seemed to be convincing himself.

No matter what, he couldnt give the order for everyone to fight against Lin Yis personal guards unit!

Just as he had said, a sharp weapon like the armor-piercing crossbow must not be taken away.

Regardless of whether the ambush was successful or not, they would have enough time to retreat. In fact, they had already prepared a retreat route outside the forest.

However, he didnt expect the pursuers to catch up to them so quickly. The commander of the ambush had no choice but to chase after them for survival. He threw out half of his troops to stop them, and the rest continued to retreat with the armor-piercing crossbows.

You want to leave? It seems like were too late!

Lin Yis cold voice suddenly sounded, and the leader saw Lin Yi walking out from the shadows of the forest, followed by scattered five-man teams.

The leaders pupils suddenly contracted as he looked at the Army that walked out of the forest in horror.

Just now, he was still hesitating whether he should stay with the other half to deal with the 800 pursuers. Now, what about the other half?
