Chapter 500: Ghost General, Kandal (II)
For a week, Claryk's regular army fought fiercely. Not only was the battle not as easy as they imagined, but it cost nearly 3,000 lives! And they couldn't even catch the shadow of the other side! 3,000 people...... They're regular soldiers!!
At first, Clarik was able to maintain his composure, calmly listening to the battle reports from his sergeants. But when the casualties reached two thousand in an instant, Clarik couldn't sit still! and his face changed from his previous interest to iron-blue......
First, the old emperor teased him and asked him to lead the regular army to suppress the thieves, and then the robber group produced a capable person, which made Clarik interested in recruitment. In the end, it was this person who interested him, but he made him plant a big heel here! If such a record was really transmitted back to the imperial capital, then he would really have no face......
It was supposed to be a relatively easy thing to do, but now it has become like this, and Clarik is extremely annoyed! But the annoyance is annoyed, but the elusive command of the other party is impressed......
The other party used the mountainous terrain and forest environment of Zhulong Mountain to fight a guerrilla war with them for a month, and they did not even see the shadow of the other party. Traps, Poison Mist, Trees, Boulders, Ambushes, Sneak Attacks, Assassinations, Assaults...... All the things and means that can be used have been thoroughly appreciated by these 10,000 regular troops in this month! The other side's quality of commanding and retreating in a measured manner, without being greedy for merit, and the combat effectiveness of concerted efforts have made these 10,000 regular troops deeply afraid!
For example, on an open hillside, a brigade of 1,000 men was forced back by rolling logs, and then, a few hundred men were suddenly killed from the dense forest on the right, and the 2,000-strong brigade was frightened into a low bush. Then, countless robbers disguised as shrubs poured out, and like a harvest, they wiped out 2,000 people, leaving only a hundred corpses......
Clarik knew that if the other side had the same weapons and equipment as them, then the result would be completely different......
At the beginning, Clarik divided the 10,000-strong regular army into ten brigades, each with 1,000 men, and searched the mountain in a carpet search for a radius of fifty miles. However, within a few days of searching, one of the brigades was completely wiped out...... And what makes Clarik feel the most chilling thing is that the armor on the 1,000 people on his side has all disappeared! In this way, it is very likely that the other party is disguised as his own army, so the consequences of this can be known without thinking about it!
Just when Clarik ordered everyone to assemble, the bad news came again! Although this time it was not as heavy as the previous losses, and the other side also paid enough costs, it also allowed Clarik to see the other side's methods! No one expected that within a few hours of the first brigade being wiped out, the third brigade, which was furthest from the first brigade, was actually attacked by "its own people," resulting in a direct loss of more than 800 people! Only more than 70 people fled back in disarray......
It's as if your own movements are all controlled by the enemy, and the other party is nowhere to be seen.
Such scenes continued to play out in the first week of the fighting......
Enraged, Clarik directly asked all the brigades to return to the foot of the mountain, and then made a very "crazy" decision, that is, "set fire to the mountain!"
Clarik redivided the army into three brigades of two thousand men each. And the magicians among them are all thrown into battle! Clarik ordered that the three brigades, wherever they go, must burn all the places they go, so that the opponent's body will be exposed. Although it was a long time, what Clarik didn't lack was time, and he just didn't want to return to the imperial capital early to resume his life.
Since Clarik brought a whole thousand magician brigades this time, the process of burning and crushing Dragon Mountain was still not slow. In two weeks, more than a third of the mountain was burned! And most importantly, the entire mountain was divided into two large areas, and the middle part was all burned down! This would be beneficial for Clarik to suppress the thieves. It won't be long before the thieves appear......
After three days of fire, the regular army of Simon finally discovered the enemy's traces excitedly! In the northern part of the Pressing Dragon Mountain! Due to deliberate actions, the entire Pressing Dragon Mountain was divided into two parts, the north and the south, and the bandit regiment led by Kandal was trapped in the northern mountainous area......
However, just as all the regular troops were holding back their fires and howling and rushing to the northern mountains, a small group of 100 regular troops was rapidly approaching Claryk's tent......
The fire attack strategy divided the mountain into two parts, north and south. Clarik's headquarters is at the foot of the southern mountains. And the hundred-strong regular army unit that suddenly appeared in the south was the elite army led by Kandal with outstanding personal strength! His purpose was very simple, that is, to directly attack the camp of the commander-in-chief of the Simon army! In this way, he and his group of brothers would have a chance to live!
Since Clarik sent all his troops out to search for the enemy's traces, there were only twenty-one people left, including Clarik!
The balance of victory seemed to be reversed in an instant, but Kandal made a miscalculation. Because he miscalculated the personal strength of the commander of the army of Simon......
Because Clarik's secrecy measures are very in place, until now, Kandal doesn't know who the other party's commander is! Simon Kingdom, whether it is the royal family or the Holy See of Light, has a little bit of a knowledge of the generals Kandal, Kandal thinks that no matter who the other party's general is, it is completely impossible to deal with his entire 100 elite soldiers! Because among these 100 people, there are more than 10 saint-level powerhouses alone, and he himself is also a lower-level saint-level powerhouse!
But what Kandal never imagined was that this time the leader of the team was actually a high-ranking saint-level powerhouse, the prime minister of the dynasty who was below 10,000 people in Simon Country, Clarik!
He is not to blame......
Clarik was protected by four saint-level powerhouses by his side, which was no secret in Simon Country. Coupled with his own superb strength, even if he dealt with a thousand-strong brigade, it was more than enough! Kandal would undoubtedly throw himself into the net by doing so!
The ending was not unexpected, and the hundred-man squad led by Kandal was dealt with by Claryk's personal guards in less than two minutes! And Kandal himself was directly captured by Claryk himself! At that time, Kandal saw that the commander of the regular army was actually the prime minister of the dynasty, how wonderful and wonderful his face was......
After that, everything is very simple. The reason why Kandal led a group of robbers to resist the army was to stay alive. After being captured alive, Kandal was successfully surrendered under his stunned expression. Because Clarik has a crush on Kandal. At this point, Kandal was finally used by Claryk......
This battle was the only time Clarik had seen Kandal's tactics and tactics. It was precisely because of this time that Claryk later overrode the public opinion and directly proposed Kandal as the generalissimo of Claryk's legion after betraying Simon!
In this encounter, Kandal led 800 bandits to defeat another group of bandits, and then organized the remaining bandits to fight with the regular army, although in the end the gang of robbers only survived 400 people, but the regular army led by Clarik paid the lives of more than 4,000 soldiers! Although Kandal took advantage of the favorable terrain and environment at that time, this was enough to reflect his ability to dispatch and employ people, endless strategies and bold scheming to dare to take risks!
With such a brilliant record, Kandal was still glorious despite his defeat! What's more, Kandar was not dead and joined the army directly. also became the confidant of the prime minister of the dynasty. Coupled with the fact that Kandal is only less than forty years old, it can be said that Kandal still has a long way to go......
A generation of famous players, can be expected......
In peacetime, there are hardly any particularly outstanding generals, and some of the achievements are at most just the suppression of bandits. Troubled times are the real time to create talented people! Now it happens to be troubled times......
Kandal, who has the title of "ghost general", was born in this way! Then, he brought a "big gift" to the Clarik army......
