February 5th, cloudy.

The combined forces of the three major families arrived at the outskirts of the Yumu Forest in the evening, and the days in early spring were not long, and the sky was dark, and there were signs of nightfall at five o'clock.

"Lord Van Lunding, shall we camp on the spot or enter the Yumu Forest first?"

The non-commissioned officer of the army came to ask for instructions on the next move.

"Into the Yumu Forest...... I don't think it's good, it's too rash to march and fight, and it's too rash to break into the forest casually, in case the other side has an ambush inside, it will be difficult for us to give full play to our numerical advantage at night, especially heavy weapons, which are basically useless at night, what do you think?"

The adjutant next to Van Lunding did not support the practice of entering the Yumu Forest and was cautious.

"Of course, go in and set up camp, there is enough wood in the forest to make a bonfire, and there is a large amount of prey that can be used as military food, it is much more convenient to make a fire for cooking, and look at the weather, it is very likely to rain in the second half of the night, there is a place to hide from the rain in the forest, if we are stationed outside, we don't carry enough rain gear, let the soldiers drench for a night, the night temperature in recent days may only be in single digits, ordinary people in the army account for the majority, in case of flu, what to do? The priests accompanying the team can't treat this infectious disease, and I don't need to emphasize how quickly this disease spreads in the 100,000-strong army, or on the march?"

Some people are worried about the threat from the outside world, and some people start from the situation within the army, there is no problem with what the two of them say, and in the end they have to let Van Lunding decide, this is the time when a coach needs to play a role, choose between the two, this is the forest of trees, enter or not?

Thundered~

At this moment, there was a muffled thunder in the sky, and the army in the rear was noisy, nothing more than the soldiers complaining about the ghost weather, and suddenly the speed of the march was actually accelerated, obviously the soldiers definitely did not want to be outside in the rain.

Fan Lunding, who wanted to be stationed outside, was a little hesitant for a while, he was in control of an army of 100,000 for the first time, and there were a lot of things to consider, so it would not be wrong to be stationed in place, but now the soldiers' intentions are obvious, he wants to give an order forcibly, it's not that it can't be done, the soldiers will inevitably have a bad feeling for him in their hearts, in case it rains in the middle of the night, there will undoubtedly be a worse situation, and the soldiers who are drenched in the rain will definitely have to settle all the accounts on his head......

"Disperse the scouts and explore the way ahead, and we will camp in the forest. ”

After thinking about it, Van Lunding was not prepared to clash with the soldiers on such a matter, and it was not a wrong thing to enter the Yumu Forest to take shelter from the rain, he believed that as long as the scouts were scattered to avoid the other party's attack, in the end, he was still full of confidence in his own army.

With the permission of the commander, the army immediately entered the Yumu Forest, for the sake of safety, Fan Lunding did not go too deep, but chose to camp at the edge of the forest, of course, it is said to be the edge, 100,000 people spread out, in fact, it is also a lot deeper, but the camp where these commanders are located is only in the remote area of the forest, and the front is a peripheral defense line built by a large number of troops.

Lighting a fire to cook, the soldiers quickly dispersed to collect firewood in the jungle or catch some prey and came back, and the two-day march made these people suffocating, and finally had a break time, making it very lively.

White smoke quickly rises from the woodland, and this is the most obvious sign of positioning.

"Hey, these people are quite cautious, just stationed in the outlying areas, and don't go inside. ”

Standing in the canopy of a tree, Kylott observes the smoke rising in the distance with a telescope in his hand, and this choice means that they are still prepared for a sneak attack.

"Chief, should we press forward, the other party is only an hour away from us, we can attack while they are cooking, and we will definitely catch them by surprise. ”

"Don't be in a hurry, it's better to attack when they eat than to attack at night while they sleep, today's weather conditions ...... Whether it rains at night or not, the moon will definitely be obscured by dark clouds, and the forest will be extremely dark, and that is the best time to raid. ”

There is no lighting system in the Yumu Forest, and the only way to light up after dark is by torches and lighting rods, which will be a good position for the army to ambush in places that their light cannot reach.

"But they can't see it, and we may not be able to distinguish between friend and foe when we fight, and we will hurt our allies. ”

The army is temporarily formed, there is not much time to run in with each other, and the soldiers do not have uniform clothing, and even most of the prisoners in the first echelon are wearing the clothes of the Lorrell family, it doesn't matter if they don't go to war, once they clash head-on, the last two teams are estimated to be unable to tell who is who, if it's okay during the day, it's a big deal to tie a strip of cloth as a cover, and in the middle of the night, even if the face is covered with oil paint, no one can notice, and after going up, only the clothes are recognized.

"Friendly army, what do you think, how can those guys be friendly soldiers, believe it or not, after ordering them to charge later, the people who originally belonged to the Lorrell and Prudence families will immediately turn back! As you said, they are all wearing their own military uniforms, as long as they converge, it will not be easy to counterattack?"

Kailot has never regarded the captives as his own, and there may indeed be people who are willing to continue to work for the empire, but he believes that even if these two armies are reorganized, it may be no problem for them to fight others, just like sending Lorrel's army to attack Ilipu before, and there is a team of warlords standing behind them, the process is very smooth, but it is estimated that it is impossible for them to fight with the army of their own family forces, after all, the family is all on other people's territory.

"Then why do you send them to be the first echelon? Aren't you sending soldiers to the opposite side, do you have any arrangements in it?"

"That's right, before you came, I had already sent people disguised as soldiers on both sides to mix into the two captive armies through mixed formation, why don't you think I let them change their clothes? More than 8,000 soldiers' uniforms are just that, Elip and Spendri will not be unable to take them out, go down and prepare, let the reconnaissance troops in front of us clear the eyeliner close to us first, and set off in an hour, the army will maintain the formation, it doesn't matter if you are slow, the important thing is not to disrupt the arrangement. ”

Put away the binoculars, jump off the canopy with the tide in your arms, and give the order to be delivered.

At eight o'clock in the evening, it was about to enter the middle of the night, and Kelott signaled the operation to begin, and the army immediately moved forward, the first echelon of captives walking at the forefront as planned, and the second echelon of Qingshu troops were a hundred meters away from them.

If the first echelon and the second echelon are too close, the people in them may take care of the supervision team in the rear, for fear that they will be shot directly if they show abnormalities, but a hundred meters is different, because it is a surprise operation, in order to ensure a certain degree of concealment, the march is all relying on a guide with a little lighting crystal rod, the people in the second echelon actually can't see what the people in the first echelon are doing, and in the case of losing external high pressure, some people in the first echelon will definitely come alive.

"This distance should make them think otherwise, Turner, how is it now?"

Can't see it and hear it, it's no one else who Kylot has inserted into the first echelon, it is one of the current Qingshu cadres, Turner at the peak of heart refining, this task is very important, and it requires someone like Turner who has strong on-the-spot adaptability to control the rhythm.

"Report to the leader, since today's dinner, there have been some small movements within the first echelon, and there are a few non-commissioned officers who we have not cleared up before who have come into contact with many people with a little prestige among the soldiers, your idea is not wrong, these people do have antipathy. ”

In the first echelon, Turner used a communication headset to report to Kylot in the protective circle inadvertently formed by more than a dozen members of the Green Tree.

"Keep following up and wait until you charge into enemy lines, and you know what to do. ”

Hanging up the communication, Turner made a gesture, and the Qingshu members next to him immediately approached him stealthily.

"Pass the order, blend in with the enemy army, and then do whatever it takes to muddy the situation and assassinate the officer! Anyone wearing the uniform of a local officer, whether it is in our captured army or not, will be killed!"

"Understood!"

The members dispersed to inform all the members of the first echelon that although they were also wearing military uniforms, all the members of the green trees would wear the metal armbands of the green trees at the beginning of the operation, and the others would not be surprised by the extra metal plate on the shoulders of the people next to them because of the tension before the battle.

The coalition scouts walked around the forest to keep watch, and they were ordered to keep an eye all night, and to notify their camp at the first sign of any enemy approaching, and outside of the first time, some of the scouts were to stand farther than usual, and they were all given special tasks to wait for the agreed signal.

At about half-past eight, a birdsong was heard in the mountains and forests hundreds of meters away, and the nearest scout heard it and immediately climbed up to the stone in front of him, and responded with the same sound, and in a short time someone trotted out of the darkness and went straight to where the scout was.

The two sides did not speak when they met, but the scouts led the way, and the people behind followed, and after a while, they ran back to the coalition garrison and met the commander Van Lundin.

"Report to the sir, the enemy's battle plan is to charge in three echelons, try to engage in hand-to-hand combat, friendly troops are in the first echelon, please do not attack when the time comes, we are all wearing our own uniforms, with white strips of cloth tied around our wrists, it is very recognizable, we have decided to throw off the enemy troops in the last few hundred meters, please give us the line of defense, let us return to the banner of the Prudence family. ”

It was a noble private army, and it was not surprising that there was a person from the family who secretly connected with the family, this person wore the uniform of the Proudence family, and reported the message before the war began.

"Very good! You have lived up to the expectations of your family, you will be rewarded when you go back, now accompany us to witness this great victory, everyone, the enemy is ahead, prepare for battle!"

There are 3,000 Prudence troops captured in Ilipu before, as long as they are against the water, the attack of the first echelon will naturally be eliminated and invisible, and the second echelon in the rear must withstand dense fire if they want to move forward again, all plans will be disrupted, and they should bring such valuable news from their own interior, Rao is stable and stable Van Lunding will inevitably be high-spirited, waving his right hand to give orders.

The resting soldiers were amazed by the sound of the war horn, their weapons in hand, and their spirits were highly tense, and a large number of illuminated crystal balls were thrown into the surrounding jungle to provide illumination.

Everything is so well organized, just waiting for the enemy to fall into the trap.

"Sir, our men are here!"

About five minutes later, a group of soldiers with white strips of cloth on their wrists rushed out of the jungle ahead, numbering about a few hundred.

"Why are there only so many people?"

That's a far cry from the thousands expected.

"Lord Van Lunding, our plan has been discovered, and there are enemy troops chasing after us, let us in!"

The soldiers who came running were indeed wearing the uniforms of the Prudence family soldiers, and they were still stained with mottled blood, and behind them, the sound of gunfire rang out.

"Get out of the way and let our men come in first. ”

Whether it is a few hundred people, these are all loyal members of the Prudentes family, and they are also concerned about the safety of the family in the enemy camp, Van Lundin, as the next head of the Prudence family, naturally has to take care of them, and quickly order his subordinates to open the defense line, and they can run out from the pursuit of the other party, the combat effectiveness of these people seems to be very good, the guards next to Fan Lunding glanced at it roughly, and found that these hundreds of people are actually all scorching skills, and there seems to be a heart refining level among them.

"My lord, attack quickly, the pursuers behind are coming!"

The soldiers who ran into the coalition lines shouted.

"Prepare to attack, dare to kill the people of my Prudence family, I want them to pay!"

There was the sound of a large number of people moving in front of him, and Van Lunding pointed his gun at the sky, and his gunshot was the signal to open fire.

"Don't shoot!

At this time, the people who rushed out were also wearing white strips of cloth on their wrists, and while shouting loudly, they moved closer to their side, and the soldiers in the front row looked at each other, and could only look at the nearby commander.

"Nearby is the enemy's first echelon, if they are allowed to get closer, it will pose a threat to our formation, Lord Van Lunding, we can't hesitate at this moment. ”

From the gunfire of the counterattack in the forest, it was clear that the enemy was nearby, and the coalition forces were in formation at this time to give the other side an opportunity, and the adjutant saw that his commander seemed to want to release him, so he hurriedly dissuaded him.

Bang!

Red flares flew into the air, and the army received the order to attack and opened fire directly, and those who rushed out of the jungle were immediately attacked in a covering manner.

"They've broken their promises!Brothers, it's better to fight with them than to die here in vain!!"

There are people in the jungle in front of them who are stirring up emotions, and those who originally had the intention of defecting to the enemy are completely dead at this time, and they have clenched their weapons.

In the coalition camp, the soldiers who had successfully fought against the water began to gather when all eyes were on the front, and the grenades on their waists collided with a crisp sound as they marched.
