Chapter 59: Wonderful Strike
On the morning of the third day, the six thousand soldiers and horses of the Beast Control Empire and the Red Empire finally arrived outside the Gobi Desert. When I climbed the heights and looked at it, I saw that the Gobi Desert was silent at this time, no different from the usual morning.
Xun Xuanjun said to Di Xiubo self-righteously: "I think the kamikaze camp must not have expected us to attack them so soon, there is no preparation at all, it is better for us to take him by surprise, attack directly, and after a good battle, then set up camp." ”
"It's a good plan, but I'm afraid that after three days of marching, the soldiers are now tired and unable to attack. Di Xiubo thought as he expressed his worries to Xun Xuanjun. He didn't mean to deny Xun Xuanjun's strategy, he just had some concerns and hadn't made up his mind yet.
"Don't worry about this, our two battalions have so many soldiers and horses rushing forward together, and the kamikaze battalion will be frightened and fall into chaos when they see this momentum. At that point, we can almost say that we will be able to win without much effort. Xun Xuanjun said to Di Xiubo with confidence.
Di Xiubo thought about it again, and was finally persuaded by Xun Xuanjun. He also knows the truth that the opportunity cannot be missed, since he and Xun Xuanjun both think that this is a good opportunity, then they must seize it, so as not to miss the opportunity and regret it.
"Alright, just do as you say, and let the soldiers attack the kamikaze camp immediately. Di Xiubo nodded, agreeing with Ge Xuanjun's strategy.
The two men had agreed that they would each order the vanguard of the 1st and 2nd Battalions to attack the kamikaze, dreaming of annihilating the kamikaze on this silent morning.
However, both Xun Xuanjun and Di Xiubo thought too simply. Often, behind the silence lies great danger. They had no idea that the soldiers of the kamikaze battalion had long been ready to welcome them at any time.
"Wow-"
Not long after Xun Xuanjun and Di Xiubo gave the order to attack, they heard a miserable scream from the front, as if a ghost was crying wolf, and the sound was particularly terrifying.
It turns out that the so-called vanguard of the Beast Control Empire and the Red Empire has become a death squad. They couldn't rush to the camp of the kamikaze camp at all, and they all fell into the trap set by Wang Lung and the soldiers.
"What's going on? Xun Xuanjun and Di Xiubo heard the screams coming from the front, and had already seen that the soldiers at the front were in chaos, and they were all retreating one after another, not daring to attack at all, and couldn't help but panic.
They finally felt that the situation was not good, and they no longer had the high-spirited appearance they had just now. The change happened so quickly that both of them, as battalion commanders, panicked. As for the soldiers, not to mention, they have already been in a mess, and they are terrible.
"The battalion commander is not good, there is a trap ahead, and the vanguard has all fallen into it, almost all of them are dead. The soldiers who went to inspect came back with a frightened look on their faces and told Xun Xuanjun and Di Xiubo.
"Oh no, we're in an ambush. Retreat!" Di Xiubo reacted first, and hurriedly told the soldiers to retreat.
And Ge Xuanjun was completely stunned. This offensive strategy was originally proposed by him first, and now that it has failed, it stands to reason that he should naturally bear greater responsibility. He even forgot to tell the battalion of soldiers he led to retreat, leaving it to the soldiers to scatter and flee at their own discretion, just to avoid the traps laid by the kamikaze battalion.
Lin Xuan had long expected this situation. He told Wang Lung to lay traps not only on the main road, but also on the grass on both sides of the road. As a result, even if the Beast Control Empire and the Red Empire are not on a flat road, they will fall into a trap if they escape to the grass on the side of the road, and they will never be able to escape alive.
Although Di Xiubo's reaction was a little faster than Xun Xuan's army, and he had already ordered the soldiers to retreat, but in such a panicked situation, thousands of soldiers could not retreat in an orderly manner at all, and could only collide everywhere like ants on the hot nest.
Wang Lung and Leopard Print had been leading the soldiers of the kamikaze battalion to ambush on the grass by the roadside, and they couldn't help but feel very happy and excited when they saw all the situation after the enemy was trapped. The soldiers all wanted to rush out immediately to kill the enemy, but under Lin Xu's training, they had developed a disciplined style, and they had to wait for the orders of the two deputy battalion commanders, Wang Long and Leopard Print, before acting.
At this time, both Wang Lung and Leopard felt that the time had come. They will not watch the enemy flee, and must take advantage of the enemy's retreat and confusion to deliver another powerful blow.
"Brothers, follow the method taught to us by the eldest brother, and let off the red fire hand bullets to blow up and burn the enemy to death!" Wang Lung ordered the soldiers in a loud voice.
"Quick, throw it with me. Leopard Print shouted as he threw the red fire bullet in his hand towards the soldiers of the Beast Control Empire and the Red Empire.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the leopard-printed red fire hand bullet exploded in the middle of the enemy, making a loud noise. Several soldiers were blown up, and the scene was truly spectacular.
The soldiers of the kamikaze battalion watched with enthusiasm, and they also learned the appearance of leopard prints, and threw red fire hand bullets at the enemy.
For a time, the sound was loud and deafening. The enemy's ranks, which had already fallen into disarray, became even more crumbling and completely out of control. Even Xun Xuanjun and Di Xiubo couldn't stop the fleeing soldiers. They finally tasted the power of the kamikaze camp.
Xun Xuanjun and Di Xiubo originally wanted to give the kamikaze camp a raid, but they never thought that it was they who were raided now, and they really regretted that they were not at the beginning. Today's defeat is decided, and they only want to be able to save the teams behind them that have not yet been affected, so that they can compete with the kamikaze camp after rectification in the coming day.
After making up their minds, Xun Xuanjun and Di Xiubo no longer paid attention to the soldiers in front of them who fell into the trap and were killed and injured by the red explosion, and turned around and ran, and at the same time ordered the soldiers behind to turn around and follow them and flee backwards.
After all, in their opinion, as long as half of the six thousand soldiers and horses are saved, they should still have a chance to defeat the kamikaze battalion. If they were careless this time, they won't make the same mistake next time. At this moment, Xun Xuanjun and Di Xiubo could only comfort themselves like this.
The Red Fire Hand Bullet refined by Lin Xuan was powerful, and its lethality was several times greater than that of those bandits. A single red fire bullet can kill and injure more than three people.
Under the leadership of Leopard and Wang Lung, the soldiers of the kamikaze battalion threw all the 500 red fire hand bullets refined by Lin Xu at the enemy, blowing up the enemy to the ground with blood, which was unbearable to see.
"Wang Lung, the enemy has retreated, should we catch up and kill again?" Leopard asked Wang Long. Because Wang Lung has always had more ideas, when Lin Xuan is not present, Leopard will also listen to Wang Lung's opinion.
"The eldest brother said, the poor don't chase. All we have to do is kill all the enemies who don't have time and collect their weapons and horses and food. After some thought, Wang Lung replied seriously.
"Okay, that's it!" Leopard Print was very cheerful and immediately agreed with Wang Lung's statement.
Afterwards, the two of them led the soldiers of the kamikaze battalion to rush over, killing the enemies who were left behind, and at the same time replenishing the swords of those who were not completely killed by the red fire hand bullets, killing the enemy completely.
Wang Lung and Leopard Print couldn't help but look up and laugh when they saw the enemy fleeing in a panic, very proud. Of course, they have not forgotten that these credits should be credited to Lin Xu. Because all these strategies, as well as the battle plan, were mainly formulated by Lin Xu, and taught to them in detail, so that they could lead the soldiers to implement them.
It was with such an effective commander as Lin Xuan that the kamikaze battalion was able to achieve a great victory and beat the enemy to the ground.
After cleaning up the battlefield, after a rough count, about 3,000 enemies were killed by the Red Fire Hand Bullet and fell into the trap, which means that the kamikaze battalion wiped out half of the enemy in this battle.
And the kamikaze battalion did not lose a single soldier, not even wounded, and really achieved the miracle of zero casualties while annihilating the enemy.
After collecting all the items left behind by the enemy, Wang Lung and Leopard led the soldiers back to the camp.
Lin Xuan sat firmly in the military tent, strategizing, and was waiting for the good news of Wang Lung and Leopard Print in the camp. Hearing that the two had returned triumphantly, he personally came to the gate to greet them. Although all this was already expected by him, when it came to the real realization of the moment, he was still as happy as the soldiers.
"Big brother, the enemy has been defeated by us. As soon as Leopard Print saw Lin Xu, he laughed and said.
"Well done, brothers. Lin Xu expressed his condolences to his subordinates as if they were brothers.
Wang Lung reported to Lin Xuan in detail: "This time, about half of the enemies have been eliminated by us, and the remaining half is not a problem. As for how to fight the next battle, please let the eldest brother decide. ”
"I see that the enemy has been frightened, and it is estimated that in three or two days, they will not dare to attack again. So we let the brothers rest for two days and fight to the death when the enemy comes. Lin Xuan said confidently to Wang Long and Leopard Print.
Under the command of Lin Xu, the soldiers of the kamikaze battalion rested with the joy of victory, but for the soldiers of the Beast Control Empire and the Red Empire, it was not so good. When they saw so many of their companions dead in the blink of an eye, they couldn't help but worry about their situation, and they were really afraid that the kamikaze camp would come after them and kill them.
Therefore, even though they had fled far away, the fear in their hearts remained undiminished, and even became more fearful, as if they were going to die at any moment. They couldn't understand how the soldiers of the kamikaze battalion were so bold and did not flinch in the face of twice their number of them, but took the initiative to face the battle.
From this point of view, there is a powerful person in the kamikaze camp named Lin Xu, which is really true. It's a pity that they are only now reacting, and it is too late. As the commanders of this team, Xun Xuanjun and Di Xiubo couldn't keep calm in the face of the fiasco, and even quarreled in front of the soldiers.
