Chapter 1077: Chapter 1,076, defeat
Translator: 549690339
The roads in the mountainous areas were relatively wide, but this place was not a regular road. Although the roads were wide, there were large and small pieces of gravel scattered everywhere, and the roads were also somewhat bumpy.
After all, Kandama was not a city where caravans traveled frequently, and this mountain road was not the main route to other cities in kandama, so there were almost no people passing through it normally, the road condition was worse than the Gobi Wilderness.
It was not a problem to pass through such a road condition, but it was a bit urgent to escape.
When Morse thought of the road condition, he felt a headache. He knew that this kind of winding and bumpy mountain would waste a lot of his time.
He led a dozen armored vehicles to complete the u-turn first. He did not have time to wait for those who were still gathering and gathering the army vehicles. He immediately began to retreat toward the mountain pass.
The soldiers naturally had officers of all ranks and small leaders to command them. When they received the order to retreat from Morse, the roars of middle-ranking officers and lower-ranking officers immediately rang out in the surroundings.
Of course, the soldiers could not all stay in the vehicles. There were also many people scattered on both sides of the hillside, occupying some of the commanding heights nearby.
Now that they had received the order to retreat for no reason, the soldiers suddenly became a little confused. They did not know what had happened.
Especially when the armored vehicles began to retreat, the soldiers became even more panicked.
This was obviously running for their lives. It was completely different from the so-called retreat.
The soldiers on both sides of the hill immediately moved closer to where the vehicles were parked and ran like stray dogs.
The troops on the front line who were attacking also received the order to retreat, including those who were carrying out the order to go around the back and those who were entangled with the scattered sand corps.
They had not noticed the chaotic situation on the convoy’s side, and the orders they had received were to retreat. There was also no mention of the reason for their retreat.
Hence, they did not immediately fall into chaos. Instead, they continued to maintain the order of the army and began to slowly retreat from the battlefield.
The scattered sand corps quickly noticed their intention to retreat, and their morale soared. They immediately followed the original plan and continued to pursue.
The firepower of the scattered sand corps was originally quite fierce. Now that they realized that the enemy was fleeing for their lives, the fighting became even fiercer.
Especially those heavy machine guns that were inconvenient to move, and the rpgs that had prepared a large amount of ammunition, they shot them out as if they were garbage.
If they did not shoot out all the ammunition, they would still have to carry them down the mountain by themselves. This was another tough labor.
If the ammunition was used up, it would save them a lot of trouble.
However, the enemy had already started to retreat. They could not chase after them while carrying the ammunition. They could only waste a wave of ammunition before the enemy left their firing range.
Morse’s army immediately cried out in pain. They were even unable to raise their heads due to the crazy firing of heavy machine guns.
Moreover, as the positions of both sides were already crisscrossed, it would be better if they fought slowly. If they wanted to retreat quickly, it would be very dangerous.
The troops that could truly retreat were the ones that attacked from the front. They only needed to turn around and run back.
However, when they started to run, Yu Tian immediately ordered the soldiers to start chasing.
If they simply ran, they definitely wouldn’t be able to escape.
Someone had to stay behind to cover. At the very least, there had to be several crisscrossed positions to qive the others a chance to retreat.
The officers under Morse also understood this logic. They could only arrange for a portion of people to cover the rear.
Fortunately, the officers and soldiers at the bottom did not know what had happened or why they had to retreat. Therefore, a portion of the army that received the order to cover the rear did not panic too much.
The only ones who were truly in chaos were near the convoy. Morse’s lead to escape had already caused panic. Everyone knew that their side had inexplicably failed, so they immediately began to run for their lives.
Since they were running for their lives, no one followed the so-called order.
After jumping onto the military vehicles, the soldiers immediately started the vehicles and started to turn around, preparing to escape for their lives.
The vehicles that were turning around immediately attracted the attention of the other soldiers. Everyone climbed onto the military vehicles.
Although there were low-ranking officers shouting loudly to maintain order, the entire convoy was still in a mess.
The surrounding hundreds of elite soldiers quickly ran to the side of the road. The officers did not care about maintaining order anymore and hurriedly started their own vehicles to escape.
Now was the time to run for their lives. If they could run away, they would have to do so.
These so-called elite soldiers were the closest to the convoy, and they were also the fastest to get on the vehicles and leave.
There were also some who were dawdling. Those who were at the back of the convoy could only resign themselves to their fate.
The officers could not care about everyone, and they could not possibly delay everyone’s journey for the sake of a few people who were left behind.
The first vehicle that started had already completed its U-turn. Then, it left the convoy and headed straight for the mountain pass.
The remaining soldiers were even more anxious. They even started arguing over the right to ride in the vehicle.
However, no one wasted too much time on arguing. The number of military vehicles was definitely enough. The soldiers who did not get on the vehicle cursed a few times before hurriedly running towards the next vehicle.
Although the scene was a little chaotic, the efficiency of these soldiers escaping was not bad.
The military vehicles left one after another. Soon, the road was largely empty.
Subsequently, the soldiers who attacked at the front line also ran back a few hundred people intermittently. Each of them began to retreat in a hurry.
There were still a lot of trucks left where the convoy stopped, but the soldiers who stayed behind had already run away.
This scene looked a little scary, but they did not have the time to panic.
Yu Tian’s troops had already chased closely behind them, and even the military vehicles had started to join the pursuit.
They suddenly realized that the enemy was stronger than they had imagined, especially when the enemy had entered the stage of counterattack, their attacks were much more fierce than theirs.
Perhaps it was a problem of morale, or perhaps it was because of the existence of the death god mercenary group. It was also possible that Morse’s army was withdrawing their soldiers. Moreover, their position did not have any defensive fortifications, they also did not have too many heavy weapons to support them.
In short, when the remaining days of the army launched a counterattack, Morse’s army found that they could not hold on anymore.
The rpgs and grenades of the scattered sand corps were thrown at them as if they were free. It was not something that a few infantrymen could defend against.
When the army vehicles of the scattered sand corps appeared at the mountain pass under the position, the front line of Morse’s army suddenly collapsed. The battlefield was so strange. When the enemy began to advance and their own side began to retreat, everyone would realize that the battle had failed, and then they would switch to escape mode in their minds. Especially when the command has been interrupted..
