After frightening all the poisonous civilians who were blinded by greed with their absolute cruelty, the originally rampant wave of killing the expeditionary force gradually subsided.
On the frontal battlefield, the Governor-General's Palace of Nanrisuba recruited soldiers again and again. Trying to prevent the expeditionary force from pressing forward in Nanli Province, intending to delay the expeditionary force in the southern half of the province.
It's a pity that the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
Soldiers who were recruited time and time again went to the front line, but they were always defeated by the expeditionary force before they could last even a day.
Compared with the poisonous soldiers at the beginning who had some fighting ability, the ones they recruited later were just like clay.
There are often some ridiculous scenes on the battlefield, just like this time...
After many battles with the expeditionary force, Shen Du gradually found a way to fight the expeditionary force.
Head-on confrontation? no!
Use stratagem? Not smart enough!
A sneak attack on the grain road? I'm always being robbed by others!
In the end, the commander of the Shendu Army analyzed that only by fighting guerrilla warfare with the expeditionary force could he reduce the battle loss ratio with minimal casualties in exchange for the expeditionary force's casualties.
In this way, the body poison army began to play hide and seek with the expeditionary army.
The expeditionary force, which specializes in catching a small number of people, took a large number of troops to besiege the opposite side.
The expeditionary force is not stupid, and will often deliberately release bait to lure these poisonous troops who are trying to defeat more with less.
Just like this, you ambush me and I ambush you, everyone has his own victory or defeat.
If the expeditionary force provides timely support, the poisonous army will disperse in a rush; if the expeditionary force does not provide timely support, it will rely on the number of people to siege.
In a dense forest somewhere on this day, a battalion of about 500 poisonous soldiers were waiting quietly. Even their breathing was deliberately slowed down. Their eyes were fixed on the official road outside the dense forest, concentrating and not daring to move. move.
After waiting like this for about a long time, the goal they had been waiting for for a long time finally appeared!
It was an expeditionary force soldier with the standard configuration of an expeditionary force squadron. They were carefully observing the approaching traces on the ground.
They were from the Sixth Army. Just yesterday, the Sixth Army had a fight with a poisonous man from the army in the nearby city of Jake.
The results of the head-on confrontation are naturally self-evident. Facing the powerful offensive of the Sixth Army, the Shendu Army was defeated and collapsed before it could last even an hour. Thousands of people ran everywhere.
In order to destroy the opponent's effective forces as much as possible, the Sixth Army had no choice but to divide its troops into squadrons to pursue the fleeing Shendu soldiers.
A squadron has nine soldiers and three squad leaders. Plus the squadron leader, there are usually 13 people in a squadron.
With such a configuration, as long as they don't encounter the poisonous army with the above configuration, they can advance and retreat freely.
In addition, the large group of poisonous people had been defeated by the Sixth Army. It was already remarkable that these fleeing soldiers could gather dozens of people, let alone hundreds of people each.
So normally the configuration of one squadron is sufficient.
But what the Sixth Army didn't expect was that the poisoner was premeditated this time.
Whether it was the frontal battlefield ahead or the defeat afterwards, it was all an illusion created by poisonous people.
Maybe it can't be called an illusion, after all, they really sent an army to fight head-on with the Sixth Army, and the army was really defeated, with deserters running everywhere.
The only thing that the Sixth Army didn't expect was that this time there was not one Shendu army coming to the vicinity of Jake City, but two, with a total of 5,000 people in two armies!
The commanders of the body poisoning team knew that if they were to talk about the frontal battlefield, even if they had 5,000 troops to join an army of these barbarians, they would never be able to match them.
The final result can only be a head-on defeat by the opponent, leading to a complete collapse.
So after discussion, they decided on a plan.
That is to use one army as bait to fight head-on with the Sixth Army and be defeated and rout, lowering the vigilance of this barbarian army.
Then the remaining army dispersed and ambushed in battalion units, setting up traps to wait for the barbarian squadrons that came to chase the defeated troops. They used their superior strength to ambush each barbarian squadron to maximize damage. the goal of.
In this way, even if they are unable to stop these barbarians in the end, their battle loss ratio will definitely be the lowest among all armies, and they will not be punished too much.
They thought very well, and things developed just as they thought. The Sixth Army, which defeated the Shendu Army, lowered its vigilance and dispatched most of the soldiers in the form of squadrons based on past experience. Go out and chase the defeated troops.
The officers and soldiers of these squadrons quickly discovered the clues specially left by the Shendu Army, and quickly followed the clues to the place where the Shendu Army ambush.
The squadron leader of this expeditionary force squadron felt something was not right when he came to this dense forest.
The surroundings were so quiet, so quiet that there was no sound of birds. There was only one possibility for this situation, and that was that there were a large number of people or things that had scared away all the birds in the forest.
Looking at the dark and silent forest ahead, the squadron leader's uneasiness reached its peak.
Suddenly, the squadron leader raised a hand and stopped the team's progress.
Just when all the soldiers of the expeditionary force were confused, the squadron leader looked around in a circle with vigilant eyes, and then looked at the strange traces on the ground at the moment.
Only now did he feel that something was wrong. The traces they found were so regular, as if they were deliberately lured here. There was no panic at all like when they were escaping.
Looking at the surrounding environment, there was an abnormally dense forest, and there was only one result: I and others had fallen into the trap!
The squadron leader who understood the situation immediately ordered everyone to evacuate as there was a high possibility of an ambush here!
Although the soldiers were still a little confused, they didn't ask any more questions and followed the squadron leader to turn around and leave.
As soon as they made a move here, the poisonous soldiers in the dense forest over there secretly said something bad, the prey was about to run away, and they could no longer hold back, screaming and rushing out of the dense forest, towards the nodding expedition. The army squadron killed it!
The movement from behind instantly startled the soldiers of the expeditionary force who were about to turn around. They turned around and saw, what a guy!
A large group of Wuyangyang's Poison Soldiers brandished various weapons and rushed towards him and others!
"The fearless body poisoner! Will win!"
The poisonous soldiers shouted and launched a charge!
The squadron leader, who had been observing the surroundings vigilantly, was the first to notice that something was wrong with the situation, and was also the first to notice the Shendu army rushing out of the dense forest.
The distance between the two sides was less than a hundred steps, and it was impossible to escape at this time. The squadron leader made a decisive decision and ordered:
"Everyone, get into defensive formation after a volley of fire, and stand firm for reinforcements!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers of the Sixth Army, who had already formed muscle memory in training and actual combat, immediately and smoothly formed the best formation for three-stage shooting. Before the poisonous soldiers came to shoot, they fired hundreds of arrows. The arrow flew out, and dozens of poisonous soldiers died on the spot in an instant.
However, this did not scare the charging Shendu soldiers. They had already been mentally prepared. Even if they hit more with less, the long-range weapons of these barbarians would cause huge harm to themselves and others. Fortunately, their The distance was very close. As long as they rushed forward, the long-range weapons of these barbarians would be useless, and they would have to fight head-on with themselves and others.
After three rounds of volleys, the soldiers of the expeditionary force no longer hesitated and immediately blocked the outermost perimeter with half-body shields. The soldiers in the rear with plain knives and spears were ready to attack at any time.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides collided with each other, and the expeditionary force squadron was instantly surrounded by Wuyangyang's Shendu Army!
However, the two sides in the fierce battle did not know that in the dense forest where five hundred men had just escaped, three uninvited guests with red eyes came here, and chased several poisonous people from different directions towards the dense forest with red eyes. The outsiders kept chasing.
As for the chased men, who were running wildly and staggeringly away, they kept shouting crazy and frightening words such as demons and devils.
What they didn't know was that they were approaching the two sides fighting on the official road outside the dense forest.
In just a cup of tea, the red-eyed soldiers of the expeditionary army of Sanmin and the four poisonous soldiers who were already a little crazy and were desperately running for their lives rushed out of the dense forest.
The Shendu soldiers who were still fighting on both sides were besieging the expeditionary force squadron surrounded by them when they suddenly heard waves of frightened Shendu words coming from behind.
What kind of demon is coming, what kind of barbarian army is chasing after them, right behind them, etc., they are all shocked!
Looking back, I happened to see three people dressed as the expeditionary force with red eyes who had just jumped out of the dense forest. My mind went blank...
