Jing Lan's face was a little ugly, and she assessed the strength of both sides in her heart. In fact, he was quite satisfied with this escort of 4,000 people. 3,000 veterans, 1,000 soldiers with high individual strength. If it was in the plains, he wouldn't be able to look down on the 15,000 southern bandits.

I think that at the beginning, Luo Yi took a thousand feathers to guard the convoy of the nine princesses' marriage, and he could only send half of the people at a time, and he could kill the sand thieves who did not dare to approach. Now that the difference in strength is only three times, Jing Lan is confident that he can defeat the Nanzhao bandits within an hour.

The problem is that this is not a plain, not a desert area, but a dense forest. Although it has not yet entered the southern region, the trees here are already very luxuriant.

Fighting in the dense forest is a taboo in the army, and no general dares to lead a large army into the deep mountains and dense forests. The only one who dared to do this was the Rainforest Legion back then.

Even if the rainforest legion that was carefully built by gathering the strength of the whole country of Great Chu and fighting into the forest rain and beheading the southern natives, the casualties were too large to bear.

Nanzhao bandits, there is a favorable time and place, people already live in this land, know the situation in the forest well, and have long been adapted to dense forest operations.

The desert legion is a regular cavalry army, whether it is a desert, grassland, plain, or even a plateau area, it has a fairly strong combat capability.

In the jungle battle, the cavalry was abolished first, and it was impossible to gallop in the dense forest, and it was impossible to jog, so you could only rely on your feet. The cavalry is accustomed to riding horses, and when they get off the horse, half of their combat power will be abolished, coupled with the restrictions on bows and crossbows and weapons in dense forest battles, this escort team of more than 4,000 people, how much combat effectiveness can be exerted, Jing Lan has no bottom in his heart.

Even so, Jing Lan was still confident that he would defeat the Nanzhao bandits, but he couldn't judge how much the price he could pay.

At least half, that's his bottom line. Obviously, such a loss, not to mention that Mr. will not agree, he can't afford it, there is no army in Dachu that can continue to fight with a loss of fifty percent.

If there were such a big loss, those veterans would be able to rebel.

"Jing Lan, the way our Shengong Temple Guards fight is different, this is an experimental team. Renault said softly. A few days ago, he wrote several boxes of plans, but few of them can be implemented now, but in his mind, the prototype of the army is slowly formed.

"Song Lao, order the flight brigade, divide into two batches, take turns bombing, and the reconnaissance plane will monitor the whole process. Renault gave the order.

"Okay. After Song Zhe finished speaking, he turned around and left, and in less than a quarter of an hour, twenty planes loaded with ammunition took off, and three other planes as reconnaissance planes also took off at the same time.

Dozens of miles, it took less than a quarter of an hour for the group to reach the sky above the dense forest, and the bombardier ignited and dropped the bomb, which did not need to be accurate, and the 15,000 southern bandits needed to occupy a large space in the dense forest.

Twenty planes, loaded with more than 300 10-pound bombs, were thrown into the dense forest like dumplings, and only one-third of the bombs fell to the ground and exploded through the branches, and more bombs, blocked by the branches, exploded in mid-air.

Don't think that hanging on a tree branch is less lethal, in fact, these bombs are more powerful than falling to the ground. The branches that were blown up were sharp, like hundreds of sharp arrows, shooting in all directions, with no dead angles at all, and the killing range was increased by more than ten times.

Ten catties of black powder, its own lethality is actually very limited, for ordinary people, within a range of more than ten meters, the damage is not small, if the ground is undulating, the killing range will be further reduced. The warrior not only has a strong reflex ability, but also a weak defensive ability, as long as it does not happen to fall within a few meters, it is difficult to hurt the warrior.

But hundreds or thousands of tree branches are defenseless, and even if you are wearing iron armor, there are many places that cannot be defended. What's worse is that the high temperature generated by the bomb also ignited some tree branches, and the fire was not large, but it brought billowing smoke.

For a while, in the woods where the Nanzhao bandits were, ghosts cried and wolves howled, and the sound of screams was endless. It's a bandit, it's still composed of many families, and there's no discipline at all, and when it encounters such a disaster-like blow, it's scared in my heart, and my body hurts, and it explodes immediately.

As soon as the first batch of planes finished dropping bombs, the second batch of planes came again, and the dense bombs blew up a radius of several miles, and the smoke soared into the sky, and the flying branches turned into a rain of arrows.

At this time, except for the relatives around him, who closely protected them and fled to the distance, the others had long been unable to take care of them.

"The cavalry attacked. Renault smiled and gave the order, and he found that the bombing effect of the plane in the dense forest was much better than in the desert.

When the first round of bombing the green wolves was not satisfactory, and in the second and third rounds, there were almost no casualties, and even a bomb could not kill a sand thief.

Here, with two rounds of bombardment, the number of dead and wounded of the Nanzhao bandits exceeded three thousand, the number of stampedes in the chaos, and the number of people killed and wounded each other in the chaos exceeded a thousand.

From the beginning of the first round of bombing to the end of the second round of bombing, in just a quarter of an hour, the Nanzhao bandits were finished. More than a third of the casualties were killed, and the rest were fleeing for their lives, and even the leaders of the largest forces were frantically fleeing into the distance.

The direction of escape varied, some frightened fled directly into the woods on foot, and more south summoned bandits and fled to the small valley where the horses were stored.

After all, Nanzhao is also a vast and sparsely populated place, and when you enter the forest, you can only walk, and if you want to escape, it is better to ride a horse faster, and you can escape farther.

The escort team does not need to go into the dense forest to chase and kill, those who escape on foot, even if they can survive, they will not be able to become the climate, as long as they kill and disperse a large group of Nanzhao bandits, rob their horses and grain and grass, and finally escape back alive, half of them can be good.

The reconnaissance plane guided the way in the sky, and the 3,000 light horsemen slaughtered the camp of the bandits in the south like a torrent. There is no need for the God of Wealth to take action, and the camp of the Nanzhao bandits, under the reconnaissance of the flying brigade, has nothing to hide.

The bombers had already returned to reload and were ready to take off again, and if there was a large group of Nanzhao bandits gathered, they would be blown up directly.

The whole battle process, less than three hours, except for the bombing at the beginning, was to pursue and hurry, until the last head was cut off, Jing Lan breathed a sigh of relief. The war horses under the straddle were soaked, and the continuous running made the best war horses in the southwest a little unbearable.

Gai Yong's whole body was covered in blood, and the black charcoal horse turned into a fire dragon horse, and what he held in his hand was not the Great Chu halberd from the war, but a mace, and the iron thorns on the stick were still hung with meat crumbs.

"General, rejoice......" Gai Yong said with a laugh.

"General, do you want to send someone to continue the pursuit?" Chai Jun's appearance was obviously much stronger than Gai Yong, although he was also covered in blood, at least he was not as disgusting as Gai Yong.

Jing Lan shook her head: "No need, let the brothers collect the team, clean up the battlefield, and treat the wounded." ”

"General, Sir has sent someone over earlier, in addition to a few hundred slaves, there are also dozens of female officers, and the injured brother has received the best treatment. Chai Jun looked a little excited.

In the desert army, he has experienced countless vicious battles, and he can't imagine that he has done logistics to the level of the Divine Crafting Temple.

No matter where you are injured, the two slaves will directly press you on the stretcher, and stuff a ginseng pill into your mouth, if the injury is serious, a female officer will come over immediately and make up a life-saving pill. Carry it back to the camp, where the doctor is already ready.

"What about our casualties?" Jing Lan asked, there is no doubt that this is a big victory, but in these years, no matter how big the victory is, there will be casualties, and usually there will be no less.

When facing the forty-eight countries last year, the general planned properly, and fiercely pitted the army of the forty-eight countries, and the gentleman used the casting method to prepare countless arrows, even so, the desert army still had thousands of casualties.

"Three people died, they ran too quickly, and they fell off their horses. Chai Jun said, speechless, but not the slightest sadness. Being in the army, and not a horse war, he fell off his horse and was trampled into a pulp by the horse team behind, such a way of dying is so embarrassing.

Of course, the most important thing is that the three who died were not veterans of the desert legion, and this kind of pursuit battle, even if they were disabled, could not make such a low-level mistake. Two of the rainforest and one of the black phoenix.

In addition, there are a few Liuyun who also fell off their horses, but fortunately, Liuyun's are all warrior warriors, and they are good, although they fall off their horses, they can avoid them in a hurry.

"There weren't many injuries, more than thirty. Chai Jun continued, the reasons for the injuries are even more varied, and there are only four people who were really injured in the fight with the Nanzhao bandits, and they have been taken care of the best.

Among the Nanzhao bandits, there are not no warriors, and there are dozens of people in Jipin, these good skills, seeing that the general trend has gone, are the fastest to escape, so those who are hunted down and killed are often ordinary soldiers.

"Well, it's not bad. "I heard that it was not my own brother who died, Jing Lan was in a good mood, in this kind of one-sided pursuit battle, if my own brother fell off the horse and was trampled to death by his own people, I really can't afford to lose this person.

"How's the result?" Jing Lan continued.

"Kill three thousand, just send a thousand people to clean up the battlefield in the dense forest, and there will be results in half an hour, and more than two thousand six hundred people will be captured. Occupied the camp of the Nanzhao bandits, captured 8,000 horses, and did not have much food and grass. Chai Jun said.

Gai Yong and Chai Jun are both Zhonglang generals, but their abilities and personalities are very different. Gai Yongren is as his name suggests, bravely crowning the three armies, cutting generals and capturing the flag, but command and coordination are not his strengths.

Zhu Chongjiu is not just anyone, he stuffs it to Renault, that is, he doesn't help. Jing Lan has a very strong command and combat ability, even if he loses an arm, he is actually a good general in the desert army. The two Zhonglang generals also have their own characteristics, which just complement each other.

"How's the convoy camp?" Jing Lan continued.

"Rock solid. Chai Jun replied, this is a must-ask after the war, even if you know it's okay, you have to ask more.

"Very good, give the order to go down, clean the valley, and send someone to ask Mr., whether to camp in the same place, or to go to the valley?" Jing Lan ordered.

"Yes. Chai Jun turned around and gave the order.
