Sunset.

Although covered by tall and dense trees, Vega knew through the military pocket watch on his body that it was time for the sun to set and it was about to enter the night.

The real test is coming.

Even though he didn't know anything about forest warfare, Vega, who had read a lot of information, knew that it was not only the enemy that needed to be paid attention to in forest warfare, but also the dangers of the forest itself.

What are the dangers of forests?

Temperature difference between day and night, wild animals, humid environment, food supplies, rain, snow, wind and frost......

Among them, the temperature difference between day and night and long-term humidity are likely to cause infections and respiratory diseases, coupled with the infestation of wild beasts, it is even possible to defeat an army without a fight, which is also the purpose of Vega's establishment of a base in the first place.

At least in the building, there is no need to worry about soldiers freezing to death in the wilderness, or causing infectious diseases due to long-term immersion in harsh environments, and even preventing the invasion of some wild animals.

Report. ”

The outgoing scouts would come back every three hours to report: "Force A has successfully defeated the third force, increasing the strength of the force to 5,000 men, and is still looking for new targets to attack. ”

"Keep investigating. ”

Hearing this, Vega did not panic, nor did he hurriedly avoid the other party's edge.

It is not so much that there is no panic, but that Vega is preparing to swallow the opposing army.

Swallow 5,000 soldiers with 1,600 troops?

It's not that Vega is mad to set such an irrational goal.

He didn't go crazy, he didn't swell, he felt better now than ever, his brain was clearer than ever.

Still looking for prey at this point?

Vega has already determined that the other party is not only carried away by the points, but even does not understand the main points of forest operations before him.

Since the opponent ignores the power of the forest, then Vega does not mind borrowing an east wind to let the opponent understand that in the forest battle, it is not necessary to win if there are many people, and without organization and planning, the number of people will even become a burden.

Time passes.

Five hours later, the night was as cold as water.

As it approached 12:00 a.m., everything was as Vega had expected, and the temperature began to drop.

Although the temperature difference between day and night in the forest is not as exaggerated as in the desert, it is about 5-8 degrees Celsius lower than during the day, so the temperature is now around -15°C.

It seems that even the heavens are helping Vega.

An hour earlier, sleet had fallen, and the cold rain and snow flakes were dripping down the pines hundreds of feet high, and the dark forest was like an ancient beast that loved people, and if the huts had not been built, the soldiers would have been on the verge of collapse by the next day.

And that's not all.

In winter, the forest nights are long and short, with the highest night being up to 17 hours, and the spring and summer of the year do not even exceed 3 months combined, and most of the time is either autumn or winter.

So in this cold environment, another three hours passed, and the time came to 2.30 in the morning.

Report. ”

The scout returned from the front again: "Due to the drop in temperature and the change of weather, most of the soldiers of Unit A are in a state of extreme exhaustion, and the overall combat effectiveness has dropped by about sixty percent. ”

"Didn't the other side build any fortifications?"

"Force A was too busy fighting to build a defensive line. ”

The scout continued: "Due to the fall of night, not only did Unit A not have time to build fortifications, but even basic buildings to protect against the cold could not be built in time, which is the main reason why most of the soldiers lost their combat effectiveness. ”

Vega pondered for a moment.

Then he immediately ordered: "Wake up the resting soldiers, we will attack in half an hour, and it is time for the other party to know who is the real king of the forest." ”

"Yes, Commander. "The scout gave the order.

So half an hour later, Vega led 1,600 well-nourished soldiers towards the location of Unit A.

Forests are naturally camouflaged.

After secretly killing the enemy scouts, Vega led his troops to a position of 100 meters from the other side, and the enemy had not yet discovered his traces, so it can be said that he was almost undefended.

Look ahead.

Although the whole force is as high as 5,000 people, most of them are troops that have just been incorporated more than ten hours ago, and low morale is inevitable, in addition to morale, due to the cold and damp environment and the lack of buildings to protect against the cold, this unit actually leaned against the trees and fell asleep directly, and several wounded soldiers even froze to death because of this.

Then.

Vega found that in the center of the army was a simple wooden hut that could only accommodate one person, which looked like it had been built in a hurry with local materials, and he even suspected that it would fall to the ground if the wind blew.

"I like such enemies. ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Vega's mouth, didn't this wooden house clearly tell him that this was where the commander of the unit was, and if he didn't directly implement the decapitation tactic, he seemed to be a little sorry for the enemy's good intentions.

This is not reality after all.

So according to the rules.

As long as the commander is killed, then the soldiers under his account will become ownerless, and they can be directly incorporated at this time, but the morale will continue to be low, and it will take several days to be able to exert 100% combat effectiveness.

Therefore, Vega planned to carry out the decapitation tactic.

When it comes to decapitation tactics, it is naturally the home of the Shadow Mage, and Vega himself is a Level 3 Shadow Mage.

This is not a foul.

Because in the eyes of the military department, the strength of the commander's individual can be regarded as one of the decisive factors in the war, and the war is not fair at all, and only the victor has the right to speak.

However, Vega did not rush into the enemy camp.

Neither as a Commander nor as a Shadow Mage will ever put yourself in danger.

Therefore, he ordered the fire mage: "In 5 minutes, release the fireburst towards the wooden house, and then cover the attack of the large army, I need you to make the noise as loud as possible." ”

"Yes, Commander. "A fire mage should be.

Vega nodded, and swooped towards the hut in a tricky move.

In the third minute, he came to the vicinity of the hut, but instead of sneaking into the hut to perform the decapitation operation, he climbed onto a pine tree next to the hut and waited.

Boom –

As soon as the fifth minute arrived, a fireburst fell from the sky and smashed into the wooden house with unmistakable accuracy, and the raging flames lit up the forest and opened the prelude to the war.

"Whole army, attack!"

The two professional squads plunged into the enemy line like arrows, and the main force followed closely behind, covered by the fire of the fire magicians, and this sudden attack instantly blinded the A troops.

However, after a few minutes, Force A began to put up a hasty resistance.

According to the rules, if the commander dies, the troops will not continue to resist, so that is, the fireburst just now does not seem to directly stone the enemy's commander to death?
