Chapter 1405: Cutting Off the Rear

"Enemy attack! Prepare to meet the enemy!"

"It's the Rolin people! The Rolin people are coming!"

"Prepare to fight!"

......

The Rolin people are coming - this news spread throughout the army at a very fast speed.

The 50,000 soldiers of the Michael Knights showed extremely strong combat qualities at this time.

Even though the enemy's attack came so suddenly, they all quickly prepared for the battle at a very fast speed.

The combat power of the Michael Knights is indeed very strong.

If a head-on battle is carried out on the plain, let alone 70,000 Rolin troops, even if 100,000 Rolin troops are dispatched, they may not be able to do anything to the 50,000 soldiers of the Michael Knights.

But the problem is - no matter how strong the soldiers are, if they don't have physical strength, they may not even be able to deal with a child.

The 50,000 soldiers of the Michael Knights just carried out a forced march for more than 2 hours.

And the rest time - almost no.

In other words - the 50,000 soldiers of the Michael Knights ran for more than 2 hours and immediately entered the battlefield to start fighting.

The Luo Lin army only started to rest at 12 o'clock today.

It was almost 17 o'clock before they started to move again.

The Luo Lin army rested for nearly 5 hours.

Such a long time was enough for the soldiers and horses to recover a lot of physical strength.

One side had just finished a more than 2-hour forced march, and the other side had rested for nearly 5 hours...

Which side's soldiers were tired and which side's soldiers had enough physical strength - it was clear at a glance.

The result of this battle was already foreseeable...

"... Well done." Willy praised the commander of the Luo Lin army in a deep voice.

Although they served different masters and were enemies of each other, Willy couldn't help but praise the enemy commander.

This strategy of the Luo Lin army commander was really beautiful.

He made perfect use of the time difference in information transmission.

The scouts passed the news that the Luo Lin army rested too long to Willy - this took time.

The scouts passed the news that the Luo Lin army started to move to Willy - this also took time.

After Willy learned that the Rolin Army had rested for such a long time and started to move, they, the Knights of Michael, had foolishly marched for a long time and consumed a lot of physical strength.

When Willy began to react, the Rolin Army had rested for a long time.

With the time difference of the message transmission, the commander of the Rolin Army successfully reversed the situation of the two armies.

Originally, the Britannia Army should have waited for the opportunity to attack the Rolin Army, which had lost physical strength due to the rapid march.

But now it has become the Rolin Army waiting for the opportunity to attack the Britannia Army, which has lost physical strength due to the rapid march.

......

......

Although the generals and soldiers of the Knights of Michael are all brave, their battle line is still retreating bit by bit without physical strength...

A commander with a little experience has already seen that it is impossible for them, the Britannia Army, to win.

Even if Su Cheng is here, there is no way to lead these 50,000 generals and soldiers to kill the Rolin Army.

After all, when the generals and soldiers have no physical strength to fight again, no matter how powerful the tricks are, they are useless.

"Deputy Captain!"

When Willy looked at the retreating front with a pale face, Raymond suddenly rode his horse and came to the main camp with a gun.

"Raymond..."

Willie looked at Raymond who came to the main camp with a dazed look.

"......Deputy Captain."

Raymond said to Willy in a calm voice:

"You lead the troops to retreat quickly, and as many people as possible can escape."

"I will be responsible for the rear."

"I will buy as much time as possible for your retreat."

"...... Yeah." Willy nodded gently.

Willy has participated in countless battles and has rich combat experience.

He naturally knows the best solution under the current situation.

The best solution under the current situation is to leave an army behind, led by an outstanding commander, to buy as much time as possible for the retreat of the large army.

The troops left behind and the commander who commands this army must have extremely strong combat power.

Otherwise, there is no way to buy enough time.

Although doing so can preserve the combat effectiveness of the entire army to the greatest extent.

But... the troop that stays behind basically has no hope of survival.

And the most suitable person to stay behind, besides him, is... Raymond.

"... Raymond, you lead the main force to withdraw."

"I will be responsible for the rear."

"No!" Raymond shook his head without any hesitation and said, "Compared with me, you, the deputy commander, are the one who should survive the most."

"It is my recklessness that has caused the entire army to fall into this situation." Willy closed his eyes painfully, "Let me take this responsibility and lead the army to the rear..."

Raymond grabbed Willy's shoulder with impatience.

"Deputy commander! If you want to take responsibility, when you return home, the military court will convict you according to the crime!"

"You are the deputy commander of the Knights of Michael! You are the commander's right-hand man! You are one of the famous knights in our country!"

"The loss caused by letting the Rolin people take away the head of the 1st Army Commander of the Knights of Michael is definitely less than the loss caused by letting the Rolin people take the head of the deputy commander of the Knights of Michael!"

"Deputy commander! Please consider the future of the empire!"

Even though Raymond had said this, Willy was still solemn and unmoved.

Seeing that Willy was still not moved by him, Raymond paused.

Then, he changed to a softer tone.

"Deputy commander... Even if you don't consider the future of the empire, please consider your wife and daughter."

As soon as Raymond finished speaking, Willy's face changed instantly.

Seeing that what he said just now worked, Raymond continued:

"I have no wife, no children, and no close family."

"If I talk about the people who are close to me, there are probably only a few people like the captain and Samuel."

"Even if I die, not many people will be sad."

"But it's different if you die, deputy captain..."

"Deputy captain, you still have a wife, a daughter, and a big family."

"They can't lose you."

"Your daughter is still so young."

"Can you bear to let your daughter lose her father at such a young age...?"

Raymond's words were like knives, piercing Willy's heart one after another.

Willie buried his head and pondered.

After a long while, he closed his eyes again in pain:

"Raymond, the task of covering the rear is left to you"

Seeing Willy finally say this, a faint smile appeared on Raymond's face.

"Yes." Raymond nodded gently, "Leave it to me. I will buy you enough time to retreat."

"At the same time, I will also let the generals and soldiers of the Roland Army see the fighting power of the most powerful general in the entire Michael Knights, second only to Alan."
