In the hilly area south of the Acropolis, the 2nd and 3rd Divisions, which entered it from two directions, fell unsuspectingly into the encirclement of the 1st Division
The first to be ambushed was the 3rd Division, which marched quickly and had a long stretch. After more than half a month of suppressing bandits, especially after receiving Li Lin's order to recruit bandits, the troops began to enter a period of frenzied expansion. Qian Tielong was born in the True Martial Legion, and he knew a lot more about the bandits in Heishui Province than others. got Li Lin's order, especially when he heard that the number of the first division had been doubled, which made Qian Tielong unable to sit still. Qian Tielong used his rich combat experience and knowledge of Heishui Province to make his anti-bandit action unprecedentedly smooth. Many large cottages were besieged by his army and surrendered after a little resistance. By the time he arrived in the Acropolis area, his troops had reached nearly 100,000 men, the largest of the three divisions. The only difference from the first division was that the bandits he recruited were not all incorporated into the large army, but a dozen or so recruit battalions were specially set up. The original unit was the main force responsible for training and leading these bandits.
Face a rain of arrows and rolling stones from all sides. The vanguard units did not panic in the face of danger, brought into play the experience of training troops in the past half month, and occupied a favorable position to counterattack. But there was a big problem with the bandits in the army zhōngyāng. In the face of the sudden attack, the bandits mutinied, many camps collapsed, and many more soldiers turned and fled.
"Set up the crossbow arrows, and those who flee will be killed!" Qian Tielong, who was finally in the formation, changed his face greatly. Immediately concentrate the elite guards around you and block the way of the bandits.
"Kill!" In the face of the swarming bandits, Qian Tielong gave the order to shoot without hesitation. All the bandits who dared to charge the last force were all killed by the dense crossbow arrows. At this moment, Qian Tielong was unprecedentedly ruthless, he understood that once he relented and let the bandits break through the rear formation, the entire Third Division would face a complete collapse.
Blood suppressed the fleeing bandits, who dodged the crossbow arrows in terror one by one, and even looked for favorable terrain to hide their bodies
Soon, they discovered a problem that left them stunned, the crossbow arrows fired by the enemies who ambushed them were all arrowless, and such crossbow arrows were not fatal at all except for some pain. Discovering this, the bandits were emboldened, and although they didn't dare to fight back, they were not rushing to the last Shura Road.
The ambush did not last long, and the men and men of the 1st Division and 3rd Colonel who participated in the ambush quickly withdrew their troops after taking advantage of the big advantage.
"General, it's a man from the first division, and he fires crossbow arrows without arrows. Dong Zhen, the captain of the third division, took the crossbow arrow from the guards and said.
"First Division, what does Your Highness mean? Since it is to test our strength, why do you use crossbow arrows without arrows? What is the matter with this brainless fight?" Qian Tielong was a little puzzled, with Li Lin's character, it was unlikely that he would mobilize a large army to joke with them.
"There is red dye on the bolts, and although the arrows do not hurt people, they will stick to the red dye when they are shot on the body. I'm afraid His Highness meant to mark with these red dyes. Dong Zhen pointed to the red dye on the arrow of the crossbow and said.
"Dye?" Qian Tielong was stunned for a moment, took the crossbow arrow and looked at it, he understood Li Lin's purpose.
"If it's a real crossbow arrow, what will we lose?" Qian Tielong asked in a deep voice.
"There were heavy losses, especially among the bandits, who had also participated in the anti-ambush operation, but did not understand this kind of anti-ambush operation. In the face of an attack, it was all chaos. In the current situation, the new battalion will be reduced by at least 30 per cent. Dong Zhen said.
It seems that His Highness meant to eliminate some unqualified soldiers, although this method is cruel, but it is also appropriate. The troops were ordered to stay where they were all hit by the crossbow arrows, and the soldiers who were not shot searched both sides and pursued the army of the first division. Qian Tielong gritted his teeth and said. His Royal Highness's gift is a bit big, and he suddenly reduced his troops by thirty percent, which is the result of his hard work for more than half a month.
At the same time, in the other direction, the 2nd Division was also ambushed. The strength of the second division is about the same as that of the first division, and it is also about 80,000 people. Chen Mo's personality is rigorous, and leading soldiers is equally rigorous. Although they encountered a lot of bandits along the way, because they were close to the official road, there were no big bandits. Therefore, along the way, Chen Mo always allowed his battalion commander to act, and the only thing he did as a general was to rectify the prisoners. The bandits captured by the battalions were completely dispersed and distributed into the entire second division. Coupled with the huge profits obtained by suppressing bandits along the way, the bandits were quickly integrated into the whole army. Chen Mo even set up a money bank with the army, which concentrated most of the finances harvested by the soldiers and put them under the unified management of the division headquarters. Although this method aroused the worries of some soldiers, it also tied all the bandits to the big ship of the Second Division through the interests of Guò**. Since the establishment of the Qianzhuang with the army, there has not been a single deserter in the Second Division.
This time, in the face of the ambush of the 1st Division, the 2nd School, the 4th School, and the Guards Battalion, the soldiers of the 2nd Division also had a great panic. However, there has never been a large-scale collapse like the Third Division. After all, the entire Second Division has been organized, and the lowest level commanders are all veterans from the Royal Forest Army, who have followed Chen Mo for many years, and still recognize and respect Chen Mo, a commander with a rigorous and almost old-fashioned personality.
When the soldiers of the second division rushed out of the ambush circle, the second and fourth schools quickly evacuated. Their task is to hunt, if the prey is too bad, it will not be soft, and if the prey is strong, it can only be evacuated. The second and fourth lieutenants were evacuated according to the order, and only the Guards Battalion, led by the battalion commander Chi Hu, launched a fierce attack on the 2nd Division. When the soldiers of the second division relaxed because the crossbow arrows did not have arrows, they were beaten and rushed by Wei Chihu and almost collapsed. This also caused the "battle damage" of the second division to rise sharply. Afterwards, although Wei Chihu declared that this was a last resort, he was also beaten by the angry captain of the second division, and even the always old-fashioned General Chen Mo couldn't help but kick him a few times. Just because of this ramming, the battle losses of the second division exceeded that of the third division, and they were reprimanded by Li Linhao.
The Acropolis school field, the 250,000 army of Wei ** wolf bèi has arrived. Whether it was the Second Division or the Third Division, which had just arrived, or the officers and men of the First Division, who had already arrived, their momentum was not very high. The officers and men of the 1st Division were tired, and this exercise and ambush lasted a whole day, constantly running in the hilly area within a radius of 30 miles, and the battalions and schools almost did not let the soldiers break their legs in order to find the military flag. The second and third divisions were gloomy because they were damaged by the ambush.
Li Lin stood on the platform, looking at the crowd below, it was fake that he was not excited, more than 200,000 troops, if it wasn't for the Acropolis school field being big enough, it wouldn't be able to accommodate it at all. Even so, the black crowd in the entire school field still had a great impact on Li Lin.
"Report to the general, Marshal Qin is here!" said Jiang Huai, the guard of the acropolis, as he walked up to Li Lin's side.
"Marshal Qin, hurry up and greet him!" For the most famous marshal in the Tang Dynasty, Li Lin did not dare to slack off in the slightest. Whether his trip to the north can successfully complete the task depends on the old Marshal Qin. Li Lin was the best mercenary in his previous life, but he was only a soldier, not a general. No one is invincible in a single battle, but it is impossible to command a soldier to fight. This is also an important reason why Li Lin left all the battalions and schools alone along the way, and all combat tasks were completed by them.
On the official road leading to Juque Pass, a group of cavalry came quickly. Li Lin's eyes were attracted by the mounts of this group of cavalry. These mounts looked like horses, but they were nearly twice as large as horses, and their bodies were not fluffy but densely covered with gray scale armor.
"What kind of spirit beast is this?" Li Lin said in surprise.
"This is Ryoma, the descendant of the legendary dragon and Pegasus. Of course, this is the lowest-level dragon horse, and it should be the descendant of Fan Ma and the Wulong ** match with the blood of the divine dragon. Zhou Shengnan said.
"Ryoma, what level should it be according to the spirit beast?" Li Lin said curiously.
"Ryoma is not a spirit animal, at most a half-spirit animal. Because they only have half of the spirit beast blood in their bodies. As for the Divine Dragon bloodline, after countless generations of inheritance, it has already been thinned and almost gone. Zhou Shengnan said.
"Zhou Junshi has extraordinary knowledge, although the dragon horse is not a complete spirit animal, but he is larger, faster and more flexible, and the most important thing is that the dragon horse is fierce, a group of dragon horses can fight three to four grassland wolves alone. The Dragon Horse Legion, which is composed of dragon horse cavalry, has always been the most powerful army in my Tang Dynasty. It's a pity that the fertility of the dragon horse is far inferior to that of the grassland wolf, otherwise the wolf cavalry of the three major wolf countries in the north would not be allowed to be arrogant. Jiang Huai said proudly.
"Dragon Horse Legion, no wonder Datang was able to resist the attack of a million wolf cavalry, it turned out that there was such a strong force. Yes, when we have the opportunity in the future, we will also equip a strong mount like Ryoma. In this way, it will be more certain on the battlefield against the wolf country. Li Lin said with a little greed as he looked at the galloping Ryoma in the distance.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid this is impossible. The Ryoma Legion has always been the ace unit of the Zhenwu Legion, limited to the source of the Ryoma, and the current number of the Ryoma Legion is only about 100,000. Every dragon horse is an important strategic material of the Zhenwu Legion, and it is the lifeblood of the Dragon Horse Legion. It's hard to get a horse in the rear, let alone equip the entire guard. Jiang Huai smiled bitterly. The generals in the army have seen the divine steed of the dragon horse, who doesn't want one as a mount. It's a pity that even an officer at the level of a golden armor general is not qualified to have a dragon horse as a personal mount in the True Martial Legion.
"This dragon horse is indeed better than the mortal horse divine horse, this prince is just saying!" Li Lin smiled, not delving into this matter. But he didn't give up in his heart, as his strength increased, Wei ** also had a better choice of mounts, and the half-spirit beast's dragon horse was already disdainful of him.
