Chapter 102: Ambush the Grand Canyon
Liu Fei's speech, or pre-war counseling, was not successful, but he made the soldiers understand a truth, only by devoting themselves to the war, overcoming fear can they achieve victory and hope of survival.
Thirty-seven thousand men began a rapid march along that ancient road in the Hero Reservoir.
After crossing the Hero Reservoir is the Yan River, and under the Yan River is the Good Roll City, of course, Liu Fei's goal is not the Good Roll City, the Good Roll City is located in the border wilderness, nearly a thousand kilometers, more than four times farther than the South City, and its strategic value is far inferior to the South City.
However, Nancheng and Shanjuan City, as well as Weijiaji, form a long and narrow triangle, and Weijiaji and Nancheng are the two closest corners.
Strictly speaking, the distance from the Hero Reservoir to Nancheng is nearly 100 kilometers farther than from Weijiaji, but this 100 kilometers journey is well worth it, because the army does not have to be exposed to the uncovered prairie, and it can detour to the other direction of Nancheng to form an encirclement with the 300,000 tribal army......
If you look at it from a bird's eye view of the sky, you can clearly see that the 300,000 tribal army crossed the Weijiaji grassland like ants, and was divided into three directions to move closer to Nancheng, while the army led by Liu Fei went around in a big circle and forced towards Nancheng from another direction.
……
"Has this road been walked? It seems to be cavalry...... "When the troops meandered along the path, Wei San, who was at the forefront, dismounted and squatted on the ground to check.
"Yes, it was from this road that the gladiator heavy ironclad cavalry arrived at Wei Jiaji when they attacked Wei Jiaji." Wei Xiong answered Wei San's question.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Wei San's face changed dramatically.
"Questions?" Wei Xiong's face was inexplicable.
"Mr. Liu, we can't go down this path." Wei San's face was solemn.
"Why?" Liu Fei asked.
"If the gladiator heavy ironclad cavalry knows this ancient road, then, there is no reason for the people of the Southern Military Region not to know this ancient road, if I am the leader of the Southern Military Region, I will definitely command an army to rush from here to Weijiaji and divide it into two, one army will strangle Wei Jiaji, and one army will copy the back road of the thirty tribal armies, and when the time comes, they can surround the 300,000 troops in the vast prairie and slaughter unscrupulously......"
After Wei San finished speaking, this little think tank broke out in a cold sweat.
If things are really as Wei San expected, the consequences are simply unimaginable, of course, it is still conceivable that the thirty armies will move south, and in the case of hopeless victory, for example, the whole line will collapse, and at that time, those tribal leaders will first think of retreating towards Wei Jiaji, and what awaits them is an elite army that has long been ambushed......
Fall back!
Everyone immediately reached an agreement that if they rushed to Nancheng from here, the probability of a hand-to-hand encounter with the opposing army was as high as 80 percent.
Encountering cavalry on this narrow and flat road would be tantamount to a great disaster.
All eyes fell on Liu Fei, waiting for him to give the order to retreat.
"No, we don't have to retreat." Liu Fei's answer was beyond all expectations, "We can destroy them!" ”
"Destroy them?!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, this place was far away from Nancheng, and they were not mentally ready for war.
"Yes, destroy them, although the road is flat, but the terrain is very steep and narrow, and it is not suitable for a large army group to fight, we only need to block the crossing, climb to the top of the canyon, carry more rocks and trees, and we can drive them all into the reservoir."
"Ah...... How I didn't think of it! Wei San's eyes lit up, his hands danced, and he said excitedly.
……
Time is of the essence, and it is a huge and vast project.
Nearly 40,000 people climbed the slopes and cliffs to prepare rocks and giant trees, forming an ambush line that was ten kilometers long.
The intersection has been blocked by several huge rocks, which is the credit of the engineering mecha, when the engineering mecha easily carried the huge rock to the intersection, some of the soldiers' eyes were about to fall out, which was beyond their imagination.
"It's just engineering mechs, there's a more powerful fighting mech, and if you're brave, you'll all have a chance to fly them in the future!"
Liu Fei's words made the soldiers' blood boil, and people fantasized about driving a mecha to gallop among thousands of troops and horses, and people came freely.
Liu Fei didn't give more help other than helping to block the intersection, Wei San was in charge of giving orders, this thin middle-aged man burst out with surprising intelligence and command talents, he was bold and careful, quick thinking, daring to take risks, moreover, he also mastered a lot of practical little tricks, and gradually, people forgot that he was once a lewd thief.
Liu Fei himself does not have the potential to be a military commander, but he has an advantage, he will never be arbitrary, he will give some opportunities to anyone, as long as that person has some amazing talent in some aspects.
Undoubtedly, Wei San has an outstanding talent in military command, and his accuracy in intelligence analysis is surprising, it is worth mentioning here that most of the people who steal from Wei Jiaji have become Wei San's exclusive intelligence officers, and their profession makes them have a natural intuition for intelligence acumen, and it has been more than a month since the gladiator heavy ironclad cavalry passed through the Hero Reservoir Ancient Road, and the weeds have long covered up the traces left at the beginning, but they still found clues from the wild grass, so as to draw a series of reasoning .......
Large swaths of trees had been cut down above the canyon, some stones had piled up to the edge of the cliffs, and the soldiers had an inexplicable excitement that this was their first real war, and the most comforting thing was that they did not have to face the enemy directly.
There are many firsts in a person's life, the first time to eat, the first time to fall in love, the first time to wear a suit, the first time to have a child, the first time to get married, ......no matter how many firsts, the first time to kill this experience is not something that everyone can experience and try, this ambush, so that the first killing becomes
After ten hours of busyness, the Hero Reservoir Canyon became quiet, and at this time, the canyon was already shrouded in darkness, and the entire canyon seemed extraordinarily quiet.
People's emotions are a little nervous.
If the analysis is wrong, not only do they have to work in vain, but they also waste a full ten hours.
As the night passed, the soldiers who were resting on the spot became more and more disappointed, and even Wei San, who had believed that the enemy would come from here, had a slight doubt about his thoughts.
The morning glow burst out of the sky, staining the whole sky red, and suddenly, in the distance, there was a dense sound of horses' hooves, the earth trembled, and startled birds swept through the treetops......
They're coming!
In an instant, people became nervous, many people's palms were sweating, and tens of thousands of pairs of eyes looked condescendingly at the other end of the canyon, and they could clearly see that there seemed to be a long black dragon winding over there......
Gladiator mixed cavalry!
Through the weeds, one could see the bright armor and the endless sea of flags swaying in the wind.
Groups of gladiators and mixed cavalry poured from the narrow ancient road like a tide, and thousands of horse hooves galloped on the ancient road, and for a while, the entire canyon was filled with the sound of thunderous hooves, kicking up the sky full of smoke and dust, which was very spectacular.
The majestic cavalry kept passing under the ancient road, as if endless, and the rolling iron hooves vibrated in the canyon, which was thrilling.
What a prosperous military appearance!
The tens of thousands of soldiers in Wei Jiaji couldn't help but gasp, they just peeked from a distance, and they were conquered by that terrifying momentum, if they confronted it head-on, then they had to do it!
Liu Fei quietly looked at the cold light reflected by the sea of swords and guns, his face was not shocked, of course, Liu Fei was also surprised, surprised by Wei San's IQ, surprised by the difference between cold weapon war and hot weapon war.
Cold weapon warfare is more of a visual impact and more exciting.
When there is a war in the vast universe, sometimes you don't feel the overwhelming momentum and the threat of death at all, and neither side can see it, but with the help of high-tech detection means, it is difficult to feel the deadly threat from hundreds of thousands or even millions of kilometers away.
The war of hot weapons is more about science and technology, while the war of cold weapons is about intelligence.
……
Sam's long black eyebrows are like knives, a pair of eyes show a murderous and resolute color, behind him, is 520,000 gladiator mixed armored cavalry, this is a powerful military class in the Utopian Republic that shocks the world, in addition to the gladiator ironclad cavalry and the gladiator golden armored cavalry, the gladiator mixed armored cavalry is the most elite military branch of the republic.
Many people think that the gladiator heavy ironclad cavalry and the gladiator heavy gold-armored cavalry are the main force of the Utopian Republic, but in fact, the gladiator mixed armored cavalry is the backbone of the utopian republic, because its number far exceeds the sum of the above two types of cavalry, and the ironclad cavalry and the gold-armored cavalry are more of a symbolic meaning.
The total number of cavalry in the Nancheng Military Region was 50,000, of which 20,000 were mixed cavalry and 30,000 were rattan cavalry.
Sam is the No. 3 powerful person in the Southern Military Region, second only to Seke, who died in Weijiaji.
Sam is very young, he is not as tall as Seck, but he looks extremely fierce, one by one muscle bulges, just a look will make people feel a sense of fear, his fighting style is as fierce and brave as his size, known as the most promising young general in the Southern Military Region.
This time, Sam shouldered a heavy responsibility, he not only wanted to outflank the back road of the 300,000 rabble, but also to level Wei Jiaji and use Wei Jiaji's blood to wash away the shame of the Southern Military Region.
Sam was well aware of his responsibility, General Ed had led the best 20,000 cavalry in order to wash him away from the Southern Military District, and he was well aware of the pressure that General Ed was under - and now the Southern Military Region had become the object of ridicule from the other three military districts.
If Seke was defeated by the huge steel monster, no one would laugh at it, the key is that Seke had been beaten to the ground by the residents of Wei Jiaji before he was defeated by the steel monster, which was the main reason why the generals and soldiers of the Southern Military Region couldn't raise their heads.
Sam wants to preserve the honor of the Southern Military District.
In the face of the steel monster, Sam was actually very scared in his heart, but he was not worried, because the intelligence of all parties showed that there was only one person on the other side, and there was only one steel monster, and he only needed to disperse 20,000 cavalry into hundreds of squads to hunt in the grassland, and the steel monster had no choice......
……
After a little rest, the cavalry can drive straight into Weijiaji to slaughter, Sam felt that the blood in his veins was boiling, and he seemed to see Wei Jiaji trembling under the iron hooves......
