Chapter 282: Ambush
They don't know that their every move is under the watchful eye of the Flame Mercenary Regiment.
"Sir, the enemy's troops have approached where our workers are working." At this time, an intelligence officer reported to Lin Lie.
The coalition thought that the Flame Mercenary Group hadn't spotted them, and was planning to attack them.
"Just right, let these workers evacuate, the reason is very simple, that is, everyone has worked hard, and they have a two-day holiday, so that everyone can go home and reunite with their families, leaving a small number of troops to act as bait and patrol the neighborhood." Lin Lie said.
These coalition people are in the forest, it is not easy to deal with, when the war starts, these people will definitely know about the plan, and there will definitely be many people who will flee at that time, and they cannot all be killed, only by leading them to the location of the open space, and then annihilating them, this is the result that Lin Lie wants.
"Understood, I'll order it now." The intelligence officer listened to Lin Lie's words and went down to convey the order.
"Staff, there is an order from above, everyone is hard during this time, our commander has an order, a special holiday of two days, everyone can reunite with their families in these two days, and come back on the third day to continue working, okay, everyone leave here now, leave immediately, can't delay, our soldiers can send you back to Qingyang Province, time waits for no one, otherwise you will have no transportation to sit on." Just as the Coalition scouts were reconnoitring movements, they suddenly saw a small group of soldiers coming over and shouting at the civilians who were working.
Hearing that there was a two-day holiday, the civilians also put down their work and left as instructed.
Then, in just ten minutes, all the civilians were gone, and only a small number of soldiers patrolled around.
So the coalition forces handed over a message to Lieutenant General Gui Chang, and Lieutenant General Shan Wu went here.
"God help me, without these civilians in the way, our plan would be much more successful." Lieutenant General Yamawoo was overjoyed.
Although they don't care about the death of civilians, but with such civilians here, it is a mess after all, and now that the civilians are gone, it is a good time for them to do it.
"This matter is a bit even, so good, why did the Agni Mercenary Group give the workers a holiday?" Lieutenant General Gui Chang was a little puzzled.
"Lieutenant General Gui Chang, isn't this simple? The Agni Mercenary Regiment has developed this area in a very large position, and now the Agni Mercenary Regiment must be understaffed, this bit of territory is enough for them to defend, if they expand the territory again, will they have enough troops to garrison it? When the territory is larger and their forces are dispersed, they will only die faster. Lieutenant General Yama said with a disdainful face, as if I knew it.
Now that the Agni Mercenary Regiment is besieged by the armies of the Three Kingdoms, and now it is even sending troops to harass the Northern Dragon Kingdom, this strength may be the limit of the Agni Mercenary Regiment.
In the end, the Agni Mercenary Regiment has so many troops, which is also a big surprise to the Three Kingdoms, in the final analysis, the Agni Mercenary Regiment only has one territory in Qingyang Province, and at most one Dongshi Town, but the small place of Dongshi Town is directly counted by them into this area of Qingyang Province.
There are only eight cities in Qingyang Province, and there are actually a million troops, and the Flame Mercenary Regiment has been able to maintain so many troops after so many wars, and its combat effectiveness has not weakened at all.
"Well, you have a point." Lieutenant General Gui Chang said this, and also nodded.
"In that case, now is a good opportunity for us to attack and wipe out the army of the Flame Mercenary Regiment in front of us in one fell swoop." Lieutenant General Yama said.
"Okay, let's do it." Lieutenant General Gui Chang did not say anything this time.
If the civilians are really evacuated, it is really suitable for them to sneak attack, although they don't care about the lives of civilians, but once there is a fight, there are many civilians, it is still very inconvenient.
And Lieutenant General Gui Chang still has a little kindness in his heart, if it is not necessary, he does not want to hurt the innocent, of course, if the task is completed, even if the civilians are killed or injured at that time, Gui Chang will carry it out, and now that the civilians have left, it is the best.
As for Shan Wugang, he is one of Fu Qianjun's disciples, and he has a fanatical idea of war, and he is completely unkind to civilians.
What they didn't know was that the reason why all the civilians were evacuated was because the Flame Mercenary Regiment was trying to deal with them.
"Rush."
"Kill!"
A large number of coalition soldiers rushed out of the forest and attacked the Agni in the clearing.
Seeing the sudden appearance of the enemy army, the Agni Army was also very panicked, fighting and retreating, retreating to the center of the clearing.
Every now and then, Flame soldiers are killed, and explosions are incessant.
The Flame Army is small in number, and it is certainly no match for the allied forces that rush to the top.
Seeing that the Agni Army kept retreating, and the number was still so small, that it was about to collapse at the touch of a button, Lieutenant General Shan Wu was overjoyed.
Constantly urging the army to go out, intending to annihilate the enemy army in one fell swoop, and then blockading Dongshi Town to prevent the Flame Army from entering and leaving freely, then they will complete the mission.
Lieutenant General Gui Chang felt a little uneasy in his heart, feeling that all this was too smooth.
First the evacuation of civilians, and then the presence of such a small number of troops here, made him feel a little unusual, but in order to resist them, the Flame Army did lose a lot of people, and now it has lost at least a few thousand, and the Flame Army is still fighting and retreating, and the coalition forces are constantly deepening.
That's right, in order to lure this coalition enemy into the ambush circle, Lin Lie had already planned to sacrifice some soldiers, and the thousands of soldiers who had died were a little sweetness that Lin Lie gave to the coalition army, if they didn't give a little sweetness, how could they follow into the ambush circle.
If the plan can be successful, let alone a few thousand soldiers, even if all the more than 10,000 soldiers of this bait are killed?
This is a war, as the so-called mercy does not take charge of the army, sacrificing a small number of people, it is possible to win a big victory, so that their side will lose less troops in other troops, this deal is a good deal no matter how you look at it.
But for these decoy soldiers, it's quite unfair, but where is there so much fairness in the world?
Besides, these are all genetic soldiers, and they are resolutely carrying out Lin Lie's orders, and they are willing to die for Lin Lie.
Just as the coalition forces were in pursuit, they did not know that groups of soldiers appeared from there, following their army, hanging from a distance.
Groups of soldiers also appeared from other directions, slowly approaching the coalition forces.
These soldiers who appeared were all soldiers of the Flame Army, and they were also the troops that Lin Lie had exchanged before, the troops stationed in this area.
Suddenly, bursts of artillery rang out in the rear of the coalition forces. ”
"Sir, it's not good, the rear of our army was attacked by the enemy, and there were a lot of losses, and our people found that a large number of Agni troops appeared in the rear, and there were quite a few mechs among them." A soldier reported to Gui Chang.
And Shan Wu was with Gui Chang, of course he heard it.
"What, units of the Agni Army appeared in the rear?" Yama Woo was shocked.
Didn't they drive the Flame Army ahead of them? How can there be later.
Lieutenant General Gui Chang suddenly thought of something, and his face changed.
"Stop, let the army stop pursuing, ours quickly retreat, ours may have fallen into the enemy's trap." Lieutenant General Gui Chang shouted.
No wonder he felt that things were a little abnormal, it turned out that the other party was luring his own people to chase after him, and now the people of the Flame Army actually intercepted their heels, when they thought of this, there was something they didn't understand?
"Report, there are enemy troops on the left flank and on the right flank of our army, our corps seems to be surrounded by the enemy, and as for the 20,000 troops we left on one side before, they are also being attacked by the enemy, and now they have suffered heavy losses, and they may not be able to hold out for long." Another piece of bad news came.
"Damn, the sinister Flame Mercenary Regiment has set up an ambush for us here, how did they know that we would attack here, and could it be that our people are not within them?" Shan Wu said angrily.
"This may be, but now it doesn't matter what the reason is, the most important thing now is how to solve the current predicament." Lieutenant General Gui Chang said.
At this time, countless artillery fire was fired into the coalition troops surrounded in the middle, and a large number of coalition soldiers were killed.
As for the troops pursued by the coalition forces, they also turned around one after another and attacked the coalition forces, and there were many Thor assault mecha attacking the coalition forces in the encirclement, and the coalition forces tried to break through many times, but they were killed by ferocious firepower and could not break through.
Previously, when the coalition forces were dealing with the Agni Mercenary Group, they left 20,000 troops in one place, and if anything happened, it would be easy to respond, but the remaining 20,000 troops were also slaughtered by a group of hundreds of mecha troops.
When a large number of mechs repeatedly attacked the coalition troops, the coalition army collapsed at the first touch, killing and wounding countless people.
The battle lasted for half a day, plus there were a large number of fighters in the air, the ground was bombed again and again, after half a day of fierce fighting, nearly 200,000 coalition troops were killed, except for the 20,000 divided army, after being dispersed, seven or eight thousand soldiers escaped, and all the other coalition soldiers who participated in the pursuit of the attack were killed, and the annihilation of so many troops, the Agni mercenary regiment only lost more than 30,000 people, including the strength of the decoy.
The coalition forces were wrapped in dumplings, and under the attack of dense firepower around them, they suffered heavy losses, plus there were a large number of fighters and mechs to attack, and the mecha troops of the coalition army were not the opponents of the mecha troops of the Agni Army at all, and they were defeated in a mess.
"Sir, after half a day of fighting, we have wiped out most of the opponent's troops, there are no prisoners, and we have lost more than 30,000 people, as for the final data, it has not yet been counted." An intelligence officer said to Lin Lie.
Now that the war has just ended, they only know how many people they have lost, and as for how many enemies have killed, they have not yet cleaned the battlefield, so they don't know.
But the size of this coalition army is very large, and they have to lose more than 30,000 troops when they have the advantage, so it means that this is definitely a big victory.
"Very good, I can't imagine that they actually sent people to deal with us here, it seems that they really hate me, but the more this happens, the more I have to make them feel bad." Lin Lie smiled coldly.
Lin Lie had calculated everything, with such a big loophole in this direction, how could Lin Lie be defenseless?
Of the 200,000 coalition troops, only a few thousand people fled back, and this news was undoubtedly a slap in the face to the two of them for Fu Qianjun and Geng Yunlong.
The two of them sent a coalition of 200,000 troops to carry out a sneak attack, but only a few thousand escaped, and almost all of them were wiped out.
This detour failed to attack the Agni Mercenary Group, and the three presidents met again.
"This Flame Mercenary Regiment is really hateful, it has set up an ambush there, waiting for us to go around." Fu Qianjun hated the authentic way.
"Your army is too useless, 200,000 troops, to do a raid mission, it is too disappointing to do this." Zhan Wuji frowned.
"Heh, our army is useless? It seems that your Northern Dragon Army is very powerful, I don't know whose territory was used by the Agni Mercenary Group to come and go freely some time ago, and it can't keep the other party, it's really a good skill. Geng Yunlong was in a bad mood, and when he heard Zhan Wuji say that their army was useless, he was also angry, so he was also ironic.
Moreover, they sent a coalition force to plug the last gap in the Agni Mercenary Regiment, and the most important thing was not to stop the Northern Dragon Kingdom from being attacked by the Agni Mercenary Regiment?
Now it's okay, the plan to attack the Agni Mercenary Group failed, and this Zhan Wuji is embarrassed to say cool things here, and it would be a lie to say that he is not angry.
"You." Zhan Wuji's face changed when he was said like this, usually they are competitors between them, and they are not polite, which is not surprising.
Besides, now that they have lost enough in order to deal with the Flame Mercenary Group, everyone is in a bad mood and is a little more angry, which is normal.
"Okay, there's nothing to do now, the Agni Mercenary Regiment is really not an easy master to deal with, the arrangement is so tight, it seems that if you want to defeat him, you still have to put in some effort." Fu Qianjun Road.
"Anyway, I don't have anything to do now, now our army has lost a lot of troops in order to break through the defense of Qingyang Province, invested a million, and now there are 600,000 left, a full loss of 400,000 people." Zhan Wuji said unhappily.
"The losses on our side are also about the same, the total loss of troops has been more than one million, plus the previous attack on your Northern Dragon Kingdom by the Agni Mercenary Regiment, killing your more than 100,000 troops, as well as 200,000 of our coalition army, unknowingly, the Agni Mercenary Regiment actually ate our strength of no less than 1.5 million, which is really terrifying." Fu Qianjun analyzed.
Hearing the number of one and a half million, Zhan Wuji and Geng Yunlong were also shocked.
