Chapter Seventy-Four: Besieged
In fact, this is really Situ Jin's thoughts, of course, the armies on the mainland will not all be so bad, not only that, but some armies are quite strong because they have a special magician squad to assist in the attack, or are completely composed of swordsmen. Of course, because the cost of forming such a team is very high, there will not be too many such teams in each country, but even if it is a regular army, the strength will not be as bad as this army of the Empire.
The reason why this army of the empire is so bad is that on the one hand, there are so many children of the great nobles in this army, and on the other hand, because at least half of the people in this army are new recruits, these people have never been on the battlefield, and they have no concept of war in their heads.
For such an opponent, Situ Jin naturally would not take action in person, in his opinion, even without him, the current 13th Battalion would be more than enough to pack up a few other battalions.
After Marven and Abbott led everyone to an ambush, Situ Jin's consciousness entered the Purple Pagoda and began to continue to study the formations and runes.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon. In the past half a day, the signal strength of 6 more battalions in the jungle has been sounded one after another, because the large team of the 13th battalion has not yet returned, so the people who stayed behind, including Situ Jin, did not know that several of these 6 battalions were eliminated by the 13th battalion.
At this point, with the addition of the 15 battalions that were eliminated the day before, there are only nine battalions left in this exercise.
Situ Jin had been sitting on the tree with his eyes closed, and suddenly, he opened his eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "It seems that we are being targeted!"
He stood up and jumped from the tree to the ground, and the two squads left behind were the first squad led by Big Head House and the second squad led by a young man named Hank.
"Battalion commander!" the two shouted in unison, and before they could say any more, Situ Jin spoke: "We seem to be surrounded!"
"Huh?" House and Hank stared at each other, not understanding why Stuart Jin suddenly said that.
At this moment, a soldier of the first squad suddenly ran out of the jungle on the side and came straight to the three people, House immediately recognized this soldier as one of the eight soldiers he sent to the surrounding area to reconnoiter the situation, seeing that the other party's face was a little flustered, House asked, "What's wrong?"
The soldier finally ran in front of the three of them, and before he could stand firmly, he said, "Captain, there are a lot of people around suddenly."
"A lot of people?" House still didn't understand too much, he straightened the captain's face, and said, "Don't panic for me, tell me well, what's going on?"
"Captain!" the soldier forced himself to calm down, and then said, "We seem to be surrounded, the other side has a lot of people, I probably looked, there are at least 5 battalions!"
"What?" Hearing the soldier's words, House and Hank were both shocked, if the 13th battalion was now in the big team, they might not be too panicked, but the problem is that there are only two squads here now! It adds up to 60 people, and if the other party has at least 5 battalions, the total number of people is at least 2,500 or more, which is forty or fifty times more than them! This is not just a matter of numbers!
By this time, the two of them finally understood the meaning of what Situ Jin had just said, but there was one thing that the two of them couldn't understand, the scouts sent out had only reported the situation back now, why did their battalion commander know in advance that everyone was surrounded?
The most incredible thing for House and Hank was that after knowing that their people were surrounded by opponents who were dozens of times more than their own number, Situ Jin's face was very calm from beginning to end, so calm that House and Hank almost began to wonder if they had heard something wrong.
"Battalion commander, there are so many people here, our two squads will definitely not be able to deal with it!" House said worriedly.
Hank also said: "Battalion commander, why don't we rush out and see if we can join everyone, so that there is still a trace of certainty"
Situ Jin chuckled lightly and said, "Don't panic! Before you see someone's figure, you are starting to mess with yourself?"
It was very strange that Situ Jin's faint words made House and Hank, who were originally a little flustered, immediately calm down, and they looked at Situ Jin, obviously waiting for Situ Jin to give instructions.
"Let's gather the people of your two squads together, there is no point in acting separately now!" Situ Jin said.
House nodded to Hank, and hurried to gather his team, and by this time, the siege outside had been completed.
The six battalions that suddenly surrounded him were the remaining 3 battalions of the first joint battalion led by the commander of the 3rd battalion, Emerson, plus the 3 helper battalions he found, although they ran into a wall with the commander of the 11th battalion, Gawain, but when Emerson found others, everyone was very willing to respond to Emerson.
Originally, when they heard that Emerson was going to send so many battalions to deal with a 13th Battalion, everyone thought it was a bit of a fuss, but yesterday afternoon, when a reconnaissance team sent by Emerson witnessed from afar that the 13th Battalion was effortlessly dealing with three battalions in succession with the strength of one battalion, everyone finally stopped thinking that Emerson was making a big fuss.
Although I don't know how the 13th battalion of the old battalion suddenly became so strong, this does not prevent everyone from continuing to hate this alien battalion, since you are very strong, then okay, we will crush you by numbers!
Because when everyone decided to kick out the 13th Battalion together yesterday, it was basically dark, so the battalion commanders of the six battalions led by Emerson decided to attack the 13th Battalion again the next day after discussion.
Not long after they were about to move towards the area where the 13th Battalion was located, the reconnaissance team found another piece of information that the large team of the 13th Battalion had gone out to ambush the other battalions, leaving only their battalion commander with two small teams still in place.
Emerson hadn't forgotten what Charles had said to him before the drill began, take good care of the commander of the 13th Battalion, Situ Jin! The big team of the 13th Battalion left just in time, as long as the guy named Situ Jin was still there!
Emerson hasn't forgotten Situ Jin's humiliation of himself, the guy named Richie under his command is the guy who went to the 13th Battalion to find fault with Murray and was kicked by Situ Jin before, and he is still lying on the bed and can't move! As for Situ Jin's identity, Emerson didn't take it seriously, it's a big deal to let others take action when the time comes to deal with this guy!
After figuring out all the important links, the six battalions led by Emerson quickly approached Situ Jin's position directly, and in less than 2 hours, everyone had surrounded Situ Jin and the two squads.
As the encirclement slowly closed, the people inside the encirclement were already clearly visible. The handful of people led by Situ Jin were very weak compared to the thousands of people who surrounded them.
Looking out from the inside of the encirclement, there is nothing but a dazzling array of branches, surrounded by dense people, dressed in uniforms of uniform colors, forming a different landscape in the jungle.
Finally, the encirclement stopped when it narrowed to about 20 meters, and here, both the surrounded and the surrounded could clearly see each other.
"Hahaha!" With a loud laugh, the battalion commanders of the six battalions led by Emerson walked into the encirclement from the outside of the encirclement, and it was Emerson who made a loud laugh, at this moment he was full of pride, and as soon as he appeared, he stared at Situ Jin and said: "Situ Jin, you can't escape today!"
