Chapter 296 Li Huailin's plan
Time went back one hour ago, after Li Huailin defeated the enemy's vanguard troops, Mingjin withdrew his troops and returned to the camp.
"Commander, will you set out to retreat immediately?" McCann came over here and asked, "Now the enemy vanguard has been defeated. It is possible to retreat immediately to avoid the pursuit of the demons, but I do not recommend that all soldiers withdraw back to the main city."
"Oh, what is your opinion?" Li Huailin turned around and asked.
"The commander retreated with the elite troops. I led the bow and archers and reserves to block the enemy's troops here." McCann said, "Although there are still 60,000-70,000 enemy troops, I still have confidence in blocking them. Heiner Sand Camp is an important gateway to the east to the main city. As long as you keep it here, you can stop the demon troops from advancing."
"Our enemies include the army of the demons and the Fourth Legion of Filmt. The only winning point now is that the opponent's troops have not yet joined forces. Now they are fighting separately, giving us a chance to defeat each other. Your behavior of dividing troops on both sides is equivalent to weakening yourself, which is completely undesirable." Li Huailin replied immediately.
"I am sorry, commander." McKen said immediately, "If we retreat now, the demons will follow us and meet Filmt's Fourth Legion in front of us. In this way, we will be made into dumplings on both sides, and the situation will be even more dangerous."
"Then you will destroy the demons here." Li Huailin said casually.
"Eliminate?" McCann was stunned for a moment. It was not a joke. The demon clan had more than 60,000 elite troops. This was the army that had been growing up with the former commander of the legion, Marindorf, for many years. After so many years, he had not been able to eliminate the other party. What Li Huailin said seemed very relaxed.
As he was talking, Vanessa came back on a horse and happened to dismount in front of Li Huailin.
"How is it? Have you found a place?" Li Huailin asked.
"Well, I found a more suitable place not far from the west. In fact, it was indeed a good place." Vanessa immediately reported.
"Okay..." Li Huailin nodded, then turned to McCann and said, "Notify the whole group and prepare to set off immediately."
"Yes. Commander." Although McCann didn't know what Li Huailin was thinking, he still accepted the order and said immediately.
"Commander!" Just after seeing off McCann, a general from here rushed to Li Huailin's side and reported. Li Huailin seemed to remember that this was Dane, the captain of the logistics team.
"What's wrong?" Li Huailin has been so busy since he succeeded as the commander of the legion and has hardly heard of it.
"The casualties of our army in the battle just now were 613 deaths, 330 seriously injured, and 506 minor injuries." Dane here reported in a concise manner.
"Damn, when is there any time for you to calculate this?" Li Huailin sweated wildly. You will know this information by looking at the list of the legion. Do you still use this guy to report it?
"Commander, I mean, if we want to retreat now, it will be difficult for these seriously injured soldiers to catch up with the team. However, if you want to use healing techniques to treat them, it will take at least 2 hours to finish all the treatment, and now it is obviously impossible to catch up. What should the commander do with these wounded soldiers?" Dane said immediately.
"Oh, that's it." Li Huailin nodded. "How many people are sure they can't catch up with the team."
"There are 330 people seriously injured, and 156 of them were injured in the legs. These 486 people should not be able to catch up with the team." Dane has fully calculated the statistics and accurately reported.
"Oh, I understand, these 486 people are left behind... Wait..." Li Huailin just finished speaking and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "We still have a lot of food and grass to take away, right?"
"Yes." Dane immediately reported, "Because it was a long-term battle, the camp here prepared food and grass for the army for more than three months. Now it only took away three days of portions, and the remaining 90% of the percentage was left."
"Where is the oil? Where is the fire-induced substance? Is there a lot?" Li Huailin asked.
"Of course there are a lot," said Dane. "The camp is equipped with supplies."
"I understand, where are the injured people? I want to see them now." Li Huailin said immediately.
"It has been concentrated in the wounded barracks. Now they are waiting for my response. Are you going now?" Dane asked.
"Yes, let's go." Li Huailin nodded.
The wounded barracks were in a small house not far away. When Li Huailin walked into the house, he was busy inside. All the soldiers knew that the troops were about to evacuate immediately, and it was difficult for these seriously injured soldiers to follow the troops. The rest was... For this reason, all the members of the priest team were working hard to treat them, trying to save one more if they could save one. Although it was definitely too late, at least they could save a few more.
"Master Marshal!" The guards at the door immediately found Li Huailin who appeared in the wounded camp, and immediately saluted him and said, although this was the marshal who had just taken office, the soldiers were full of admiration and admiration for him.
"Marson!" Several injured soldiers also stood up immediately, and some soldiers lying on the hospital bed also struggled to stand up and salute Li Huailin.
However, some soldiers thought of something when they saw Li Huailin appear here. It seemed that they were really going to be left behind, otherwise the marshal would not have come here in person.
The atmosphere was a little weird. Just as Li Huailin was about to speak, an injured veteran suddenly walked to Li Huailin and knelt down on one knee, and then said, "Marcel, don't say much. We know that this strategic goal is to retreat quickly. We can't catch up with the large army now. Not only that, but it will also drag down the entire regiment and Marshal. We will stay voluntarily. Please don't take care of us. We are here waiting for the demon troops to come, and maybe we can block them for a while."
"Yes, Marshal!" the soldier next to him also said immediately, "Please don't take into account us. We are soldiers of the empire. For the sake of the empire, please do what you want."
"Hey, I didn't say I wanted to take care of you." Li Huailin spread his hands and said.
"Ha?" Several wounded soldiers were stunned for a moment.
"I'm here to inform you that our large army is going to set off, and I really can't take you with me. Sorry, it seems that you are going to die here." Li Huailin said with a smile.
"It's too straightforward!" Dai An looked at Li Huailin in surprise. Although the truth is this, you can't just say it. No matter how you pretend.
"This..." The wounded soldiers above didn't know how they reacted, and the commander threw himself away so simply.
"But, as soldiers of the empire, it seems a bit of a pity that you died like this. Do you think so?" Li Huailin asked.
"Uh...Master Marshal...I don't quite understand what you mean." The veteran in front said in a little confused.
"I have a difficult task to hand over to you now." Li Huailin said, "But let me talk about it first. Even if you can complete this task, it will die. Of course, if you don't complete it, it will die. In short, it is a task of ten deaths without life. Are you interested?"
"This..." the old wounded soldier was stunned, "What will happen if this mission is completed?"
"The army of the demon clan will probably be destroyed here." Li Huailin said casually.
"What?" The old wounded soldier was more than surprised, he was simply frightened. The demon clan had more than 60,000 troops, and the famous general Gordon was the leader. Even the famous coach like Marindolph could only fight with him. The new commander actually said that he would destroy the demon clan's troops here?
"Yes, I was just planning to defeat the demon army so that they could not pursue them, but when I heard from you, I think I can directly destroy the demon army here. You wounded soldiers are the most important part of my plan. Everyone, do you want to drag tens of thousands of demons to accompany you to die before you die?" Li Huailin said with a smile.
"Marson, do it seriously?" the old wounded soldier here asked with trembling hands.
"Of course, take it seriously." Li Huailin nodded.
"Do it! I'm not afraid of anything anymore. Marshal, what task do you have? Please leave it to me!" A soldier with a leg injury next to him stood up and shouted.
"I'll do it too! My whole family was killed by the demons. Revenge is my only purpose of survival. Now that I have this opportunity, I'm not willing to die for my life! Even if I die, it's worth it!" A wounded soldier on the other side also roared.
"Kill all the demons!" "Kill all the demons!" "Kill all the demons!"
A roar came from the wounded camp, and then it was not just them, but the shouts slowly spread out from the wounded camp. At the beginning, the soldiers standing near the wounded camp began to shout, and then spread around. Gradually, the soldiers in the entire camp began to shout slogans and kill all the demons.
"It's great that you have confidence, but you'd better keep some energy to work." Li Huailin pressed his hands and signaled everyone to calm down and to assign tasks.
"Please give orders by the marshal!" "Please give orders by the marshal!" "Please give orders by the marshal!"
All the soldiers around who could kneel down fell on one knee, and the seriously injured soldiers also said firmly to Li Huailin on the bed.
"Very good." Li Huailin nodded, then pointed to the old wounded soldier in front of him and said, "Your name is Feili, right? Now you are the team leader, everyone will listen to my orders."
"Yes!" all the soldiers replied immediately.
"All the seriously injured team members cannot get out of bed, so they just lie on the bed and wait for death." Li Huailin said.
"Ha?" All the soldiers present were stunned. Waiting for death is called an order?
"Everyone who can get out of bed and move, hide in places that are difficult to find in the camp. Take ignition items on your body. When there is a shout of killing sound in the west, immediately come out and set fire around the camp. We will prepare the ignition items. Just rest as much as possible, just feel at ease." Li Huailin said with a smile, "Don't you."
Chapter completed!
