Chapter 47: Ambush
"General, how about we defend first and then attack tomorrow?" Amos said as he approached.
"What do you mean?" Bruce didn't understand, dropped the horse meat in his hand, and looked up.
"When the enemy retreats today, the army is untidy and demoralized, and if it is attacked by surprise, many heads can be cut off. "Before the battle, we use dummies to blind us so that we can avoid arrows, and when the enemy pikemen come up, we will march in at the same time." ”
"Alas, we don't have bows and arrows in our camp, so if they block the wall and release arrows, where can they hide? Bruce shook his head, helpless that the military department did not support it.
"But the Selwan people don't know that their archers don't dare to get too close. Amos said.
"The odd soldier counterattacked, and it was easy to say. Simon said disdainfully, then thought of something, and quickly added, "It's definitely only you Amos." The Nine Squads will definitely succeed. ”
"I came up with the idea, of course I will implement it, please give the general an order. Amos bowed down and begged for his life, and this confidence was admired by everyone in the camp.
"Good!" General Bruce cheered for the brave warrior who was willing to take risks, "get ready to put on your leather armor, and take as many people as you need!"
"No, it's just seven of us. Amos replied, "Disrupting the enemy army will have the same effect on as many people." ”
The next day, the weather was exceptionally warm and there was no feeling of winter. The Selwan people also took the opportunity to storm and still lined up their troops early in the morning, and they were full of murderous spirit.
Bruce stood on the podium, calm. Today's camp gate is the new camp of Isabella, and everyone wants to know what the actual combat strength of these defeated soldiers is after they are contained. There are warriors from yesterday's bloody battle in the camp of the dead, and the legionnaires who were once the most brave should not be too rubbish.
Serwan still opened the way with two waves of arrows, but this time he didn't hurt the living. The soldiers of Gu Austria were all hiding in the back camp, and some corpses were pretended to be in front.
"Kill!" Seeing the Serwan pikemen coming up, Bruce waved his flag, and the 1st Brigade of the Isabella Battalion stepped forward.
It is still like a river of blood, it is still life for life, on both sides of the narrow walled gate, the soldiers on both sides fight to assassinate, and the bloody battle is in one place.
"Knock knock!" General Bruce personally beat the war drums, and the sound of the waves of the river echoed over the camp. Gu Ao* soldiers were greatly encouraged, and their morale was even higher.
"Kill!" another wave of enemy troops came in, and another wave of Isabella battalion soldiers came on top.
They once threw away their armor, once fled like lost dogs, and were once humiliated as bad as girls. But today, these defeated soldiers stood up, they shot the enemy, they were not afraid of death, they washed away their innocent grievances with blood, and defended their reputation with their lives, and the officers and men of the First Army were all good!
"Dang dang dang!" Today, the gong of the Selwan retreat rang a little earlier, but the low morale and chaotic retreat order were all the same yesterday.
"Kill!" Suddenly, the soldiers who stood up and ambushed on the boulder outside the gate of the wall, they flew down, like divine soldiers descending from the sky. At the same time, Bruce was also waving his flag in the camp, as if thousands of Guao troops began to counterattack.
"Run!" was the thought of all the Seldwans who retreated. Occasionally, a few sergeants want to come forward and maintain order. The warriors who could jump from the boulder, seven people surrounded and killed, and the tight gun array stretched and expanded, and quickly killed a few soldiers who did not know how to die, and then chased and killed them like sheep.
The soldiers in front fled backwards, and the soldiers in the back didn't know what was happening, so they also turned around and ran, and this wave of collapse was like a plague, and it quickly spread. More of the Selwans turned and fled, throwing away their armor and panicking like dogs, but they didn't know that in the distance, out of sight, there were only seven people chasing and killing!
"Bows and arrows?" Colin was the first to notice, and the weapon thrown on the ground was unusual. It turned out that the Selwan people saw that Bruce had not shot a bow and arrow, and guessed that there was not enough equipment in the Gu Austrian army, so they wanted to shoot at close range, so they let the front army retreat slightly. But as soon as Amos and the others killed indiscriminately, the formation was completely chaotic, and the archers behind thought that they had encountered a counterattack from the army, so they abandoned their weapons and fled.
"Pick it up!" Amos knew, Bruce was worried about it. Now there are treasures everywhere, and you can pick up as many as you can.
When the seven warriors returned to the barracks with their bows full, they were naturally thunderous again. This time, Aya closed her lips tightly and didn't speak, and finally asked everyone to wait to forgive the good deeds.
In the next few days, the weather suddenly turned cold, and the Gu Austrian army had no chance to ambush. If you hide on the rock for another two hours, it will freeze into a popsicle. Moreover, the Selwan people were also prepared, and before each attack, they covered the rocks with a rain of arrows, and shot them into a hornet's nest, and some people were ambushed and died.
But the human flesh grinding disc in front of the camp gate did not stop rotating. Every day there were bloody battles here, and the spears that came in and out of the thick wooden fences were finely polished.
Fortunately, the longbow that Amos grabbed worked. Bruce selected a team of archers from the rout of the First Legion, and condescendingly carried out blocking shots, which had a good killing effect. The defenders had bows and arrows, and their defense increased sharply, and the battle loss ratio between the two sides dropped sharply, almost reaching 1 to 10. As long as you have a bow, you can pick up arrows.
The battle entered a state of stalemate, but the supplies from the rear military headquarters were still not delivered. Bruce was a little anxious, and handed over an urgent military report again, and asked Walter to send it to the capital overnight. It's just that he is a little arrogant, and the wording of the military report is a little inappropriate, so that the old men of the military department can seize the handle, but they are severely reprimanded.
Moreover, what made Amos most distressed was that the military department wiped out the pardon of the Ninth Squad by the way. It is said that Bruce is coquettish, and the results are suspicious, and I have never heard of seven people who can defeat thousands of Selwan troops.
Bruce was naturally not convinced, and continued to skip the rank to plead, and also asked the military department to quickly send personnel to inspect and complete all the equipment of the Isabella battalion.
While they were talking on paper, the Selwang offensive was also flourishing day by day. At first, it was only attacked in the morning, and then it continued throughout the day, from morning to night. The camp of Isabella has also been filled in a lot, the camp of the dead is even worse, and he is the only one left in Amos's Ding brigade. Aya and Colin had already been sent to the capital to be questioned by the military headquarters as witnesses, and the other comrades-in-arms were crushed to death in the human flesh grinding plate and thrown into the gushing Onda River.
When it was freezing cold, Bruce only had seventeen dead soldiers and one hundred and forty-six volunteers left. The name of the volunteers, who were designated by the military department, were also shocked by the persistence of the Grand Canyon of Isabella, but firmly refused to recognize the existence of the new battalion of Isabella.
Even if they were late for inspection, the military headquarters was suddenly attacked. The richly dressed inspector pinched his nose and walked around the barracks, leaving behind the conclusion that "there are few dead soldiers in the camp, and there are a few volunteers", and turned around and walked away despite Bruce's blowing beard and glaring. The 2,000-strong team that Bruce had reported before the war was completely disapproved.
"You can disown my military merits, but you have to be worthy of your conscience and the heroic souls of these ** national heroes!" Bruce exclaimed as he looked at the inquisitor in the distance. But this sadness did not move him at all, the military master who went away on the ancient road of the slender man.
To this day, they have been blocking the mouth of the Isabella Grand Canyon for two full months. The weather was cold and dripping into ice, and Amos suggested that water be poured outside the camp overnight, and the official road was frozen into an ice rink. The people of Selwan are brave again, but on this hundred-step-wide and icy battlefield, they can't stand steadily, let alone fight. They only climbed halfway to the road, and let the Gu Ao shooter extinguish his sharp spirit, and this smooth uphill road became a moat for the Selwan people.
After a long period of attack, and the weather was unfavorable, the Selwan finally turned around. They split up and prepared to cross the Isabella Mountains and bypass the Canyon of the Reaper. The name was given to the frightened Selwans, who had never met such a valiant Gu'an, and said that the valley was guarded by death.
And Gu Aoguo, who was struggling to breathe, finally completed the mobilization of combat readiness after two months of recuperation. The 2nd and 3rd Army Corps withdrew from the border of Tanan and Guteng, and the Gongwei was around Kyoto. And the great nobleman Ryan who suddenly appeared, held high the banner of righteousness and gathered the remnants of the First Legion and formed the powerful Tiger Legion. As soon as this legion appeared, it was refreshing to the world, with powerful beast warriors and strict army discipline, allowing the people of Gu Ao to see the dawn of victory.
Unlike Bruce, who was poor and white, Ryan's Tigers were supported by the whole country. All the equipment and armor are the latest and greatest, and there is no hesitation in allocating supplies. Because behind him, stands the famous Weihua Academy. A flowery-worded official letter made the eyes of the old and dizzy men of the military department widen, and there was no delay in all the supplies.
King Gu Ao, who was terrified every day in the palace, ceremoniously received the great nobleman Lane, and was awarded the title of Count of Weiguo, encouraging him to fight the heart of the country. Ryan rose from an obscure baron to a powerful count, and his reputation was shocked. But when it reached Amos's ears, he took it for granted.
Count Ryan made a big effort to remodel the old army, which was reflected in the fact that the squad leaders in the Tiger Legion used beast souls. But it's not the illusion of the past, it's an unprecedented beast.
This is a legion built with money, and each beast soul is worth dozens or even hundreds of gold coins, so it can be consumed by ordinary sergeants at will. It is false for the old men of the military department to say that they are not distressed, but there is a big banner of Weihua Academy behind them, who dares to say a word.
The first battle of the Tigers' fame was an ambush in the Isabella Mountains. King Gau received an urgent report from Bruce that Selwan's army had begun to divide and move in. The Earl of Ryan lay in an ambush in advance, and waited for the swaggering Selwans to enter the ambush circle, and with a sound of drums, the whole army was killed.
The Beast Soul Spirit Technique is a common skill on the Nagisa Moon Continent, and everyone has seen the appearance of the Spirit Warlock after transforming the beast soul, with some beast characteristics, but it is still a human body at all. But the sergeants of the Tiger Legion turned out to be completely beast-like after transformation, with various beast shapes such as bears, cheetahs, and wild wolves.
If it was an ordinary beast, it would not be able to scare the soldiers of Serwan. But these fierce beasts rushing out of the mountains and forests not only lived in peace with various kinds, but also cooperated with the soldiers, and from time to time people stood up and listened to orders and commands. What broke the Selwan the most was that these beasts still spoke and could use weapons. All kinds of unbelievable things made the Selwan people unexpected.
The beasts all over the mountains are already chilling, and the sound of killing is shocking, which makes the people of Selwan think that they have angered the mountain god. When a group of werewolves stood up and opened their bows and arrows, all the Selwan soldiers went crazy, how could there be such a strange nightmare.
No matter how the commander in the army gave the order, and how the inspection team killed the inspector team in the back, the Selwang soldiers just did not move forward. When these fierce beasts were killed in front of them, everyone stood up and attacked, thousands of catties of brutal strength, easily knocked the soldiers in the front row away, and even more beastly ones, tearing people in half on the spot, digging out their hearts and munching on them.
"Devil!" "God!" the Selwan panicked. They all said that this invasion was an unrighteous act, alarmed the gods, and sent divine beasts to help Gu Aoguo.
The frightened Selwan people abandoned their armor and fled for their lives, and were chased all the way out of the Isabella Mountains by Ryan's Tiger Army.
The Tiger Legion, which had just been established, won a complete victory in the first battle, seized a large amount of booty, and beheaded nearly 1,000 corpses. The heads were piled up outside the gate of the military headquarters, and the black pressure was chilling. But it was these bloody Selwan heads that made the military master immediately recognize his military merits, and he rewarded countless people on the same day.
It was in this situation that Bruce handed over the Weeping Spirit Blood Book. He cried that "the rewards and punishments are unfair, the heroic soul is unsafe, the military department is not removed, and the valley is not a country." This sentence is not removed by the military department, which makes the officials and old men completely turn their faces
