Chapter 314: Purge

After receiving the news that the enemy had been found in the woods, Jenny stood in front of a map of the area and thought for a long time.

The map is rough and only shows the surrounding terrain roughly, not to mention the scale and contour lines. But he can't help it, drawing maps is a science, and it is difficult to train professionals, so now he can only make up for it.

Fishmen had never occupied so much land before, and after acquiring it, they were initially thinking of fighting big battles to get more land.

However, the successive defeats of several previous battles of different sizes made Jenny realize that the Fishmen were not ready for large-scale land battles at all. The weapons, formations, and tactics of their armies in the past were not suitable for large-scale land warfare.

After reflection, Jenny decided to ask for help from his allies to improve the Fishman's land combat capabilities.

Now is the time for the transformation and training of the fish-man army, and if the elven assault detachment is allowed to continue to eat away at their vital strength during this period, the morale of the army will definitely plummet.

At this time, Jenny's troops were already in place, and they had established a long and tight defense line to the west of this area, and the defense line in the north that had originally resisted the elves going south was also ready to go south to block the enemy fleeing north after strengthening their forces, and the sea was in the south, which was a natural Jedi for the elves.

The "iron wall" on three sides has been formed, and the next step is for the army in the eastern base to dispatch to force this squad out from east to west, and then encircle and annihilate it.

Jenny treats this encirclement mission as a textbook battle, which will become a template for such encirclement missions in the future.

After confirming that the elven team was still operating in the encirclement and reconfirming that his own army was in place, Jenny, who was personally directing the battle on the front line, ordered his subordinates, "The second phase begins. ”

The second stage is that the troops in the base are all out and start to search and squeeze the activity space of the elven team.

Gary was originally a squad leader in the Fish-Man Army, he was originally a descendant of a mid-ranking officer in the army, and after the war, he had a tendency to rise through the ranks and make a fortune.

But at the beginning of the war, his old leader died in battle, and he stayed in the rear, not only was he not promoted, but even lost the position of squad leader and was demoted to the commander of ten.

This year, he came and went, and he returned to the position of squad leader because of his good performance during training. Although this squad is only a garrison team composed of three ten-person teams, instead of the previous main team composed of five ten-person teams, it also allows him to see a bright future.

Today he led his team on the front line and began to search for the elven team who were hiding.

Now in front of Gary was a deserted pasture, where alfalfa had grown more than a meter high, and clusters of purple flowers were blooming, dyeing a large area that looked purple.

The order from above came through the whistle, and Gary ordered his men, "Stand up, all of you, spears pointed at the grass on the ground. ”

Under his command, thirty fish-men lined up one meter apart, and then lowered their spears more than four meters long, stabbing in the grass while coordinating with the teams on both sides to push all the way to the west.

After Gary and the others walked more than a hundred meters, another row of fishmen with spears set off, and it was not long before a team of javelinmen and magicians set off, and the three parallel lines formed by the fishmen more than a hundred meters apart swept across this large area of pasture that might hide the enemy.

To the north of the meadows, an army of fishmen is ready to drive the enemy south as soon as an elf emerges from the meadow.

Gary and the others made their way to the western edge of the pasture without any danger, then stopped to defend themselves and waited for the friendly forces in the rear to come up.

After the three squads arrived, Gary once again commanded his squad to turn around and follow the large army to search the pasture again.

After two rounds of searching, the fish-men found nothing but rabbits, pheasants, hornets, and slimes, and began to move to the west of the meadows.

Once the group had been regrouped, Gary once again commanded his squad and followed the large force to search the cucumber fields in front of them.

The shelves in the cucumber field had long been occupied by the weeds, and Gary stabbed the shelves that obstructed their view with their spears, and then swept through the wreckage and weeds along the shelves.

In the afternoon, the scene kept happening, and the fish-man army opened a long front according to the "comb style", "dragnet style", "fish scale style" and other clearing tactics arranged by Jenny in advance, and cleared all the places that might hide elves from west to east.

In places where it could not be effectively cleared, such as the dense woods where Charles had killed De Ina, Jenny chose to surround it and burn it down.

At the same time, Jenny sent several capable detachments to attack around the encirclement, razing all the abandoned farmsteads that might have provided a hiding place for the elven team.

When dusk fell, the fish-man troops, who had been busy all afternoon, chose dangerous areas to set up camp, forming a blockade line from south to north.

On duty that night were the teams that did not participate in the afternoon operation but were recuperating in the rear, and these special vigil teams adjusted for the jet lag to ensure that they would not be tired or drowsy at night.

When the sun rose the next day, the fish-men continued to advance steadily westward, while the night watchman began to sleep in the makeshift barracks.

That morning, Gary and his team were searching a field that had turned into bush, which was supposed to be a rice paddy field.

His squad routinely lined up in front and searched the bushes with his spears, and he followed behind, occasionally ordering his squad members to speed up and slow down their advance to avoid gaps with the flanks.

Suddenly, Gary stepped on something that nearly caused him to slip.

Gary picked it up and looked at it, and it turned out to be a bamboo tube with no end, and a little aroma of food was coming out of the bamboo tube.

Realizing that he had made a major discovery, Gary immediately blew the whistle, and the whole team suddenly stopped, and everyone went on alert.

The team leader and Gary rushed to Gary's place, and the team leader took the bamboo tube that Gary handed over.

The captain smelled the smell inside the bamboo tube and said, "It's not spoiled, it should have been eaten last night, search this place carefully." ”

Not long after, Gary and his team found a few more empty bamboo tubes left over from the elves after eating, as well as a ceramic bottle with a little potion remaining.

The discovery soon came to Jenny, who judged that it was apparently the elven team that had attempted to escape east through the blockade last night, but it was difficult to tell if they had succeeded.

By noon, similar news came again.

Not far from the northwest where the canned bamboo tube was first discovered, a few canned bamboo tubes that had only eaten most of them were found, according to the analysis, the jars should have been opened this morning, and the elf threw down the cans and ran away without finishing them.

Jenny marked the places where the elven team appeared on the map, and then connected the lines in order.

Based on this information, Jenny judged that the team had gone west for a while from the woods where a demon had been killed, and then suddenly went east for some reason, but it turned out that after discovering the blockade to the east last night, he immediately went to the northwest, presumably trying to return to the north, and then this morning he found that someone had dropped his half-eaten breakfast and quickly evacuated after searching for him.

Jenny doesn't care what those elves think, as long as the enemy is still in the encirclement, he will only be annihilated by himself in the end.

So he ordered the logistics base to organize a group of men to reinforce the blockade line in the north, and at the same time, the southern sea sent troops to the defense logistics base, in case the logistics base was taken advantage of by the elves.
