Chapter Forty-Nine: The Bag Formation
The Evil Eye Cave is narrow on the outside and wide on the inside, getting wider and wider like a triangle. Even better, there is an arc-shaped earthen wall more than fifty paces from the entrance of the cave, which is estimated to be a fortification of the Wild Evil Eye. The earthen walls are sturdy, neither tall nor short, and the Evil Eye can hide from the enemy's ranged attacks when lying down, and stand up just enough to see what is ahead. If a large number of evil eyes are planted here, no matter how strong the invading demonic beasts are, I am afraid that it will be difficult to attack them for a while. After seeing the terrain in the cave clearly, Yang Ling secretly called lucky. If it weren't for the Evil Eye army that took control of the commanding heights after sneaking in, and quickly killing the high-level Wild Evil Eye in charge of the command after the battle, I am afraid that he would definitely not be able to attack it easily. After ordering the Evil Eye Tyrant to lead the Evil Eye army to ambush behind the earthen wall, looking at the triangular cave that was getting wider and wider, and then looking at the more than two hundred red-haired tarantulas that were closely protected, Yang Ling's heart moved, thinking of the famous cloth bag formation in the ambush battle, and remembering some historical allusions he saw when he was bored in college. The cloth bag array, as the name suggests, is to lay a net to lure the enemy into an ambush position and then suddenly kill from three sides, surprise the unsuspecting enemy army, and outflank the enemy's rear road. During the War of Liberation, there were several famous bag wars in China. On July 2, 1935, the Red 25th Army marched rapidly to Yuanjiagoukou Village, Shanyang County, and then ambushed on the surrounding mountains to annihilate the enemy's 1st Brigade of the Shaanxi Garrison. More than 300 people below the enemy's regiment commander were killed and wounded, more than 1,400 people under the enemy's brigade commander Tang Sitong were captured, and 40 light and heavy machine guns and more than 1,600 long and short guns were captured. In addition to a successful ambush, it is more important to have enough firepower. Otherwise, if the enemy forces concentrate all their efforts to penetrate the formation, it will only be self-defeating and the consequences will be unimaginable! After the Battle of Midway in World War II, the US troops began to march toward the mainland, and the two sides fought over some key islands one after another, and in some places even staged repeated tug-of-war battles. On several occasions, after taking control of the island, the U.S. military deployed a bag formation with superior forces to ambush the attacking Japanese army. Unfortunately, due to the dispersion of troops and firepower, not only could they not inflict heavy losses on the incoming enemy, but they were broken through the camp by the army that jumped over the wall in a hurry, which was self-defeating. Learning some lessons from history, Yang Ling prepared to deploy heavy troops in the middle of the wall and calmly command the actions of the Warcraft army. After being cut off by the horned bee beast, withdraw the Deadwood Warriors, and then gradually withdraw the spider army led by the Tarantula King. Command them to retreat and lay in ambush along the cave walls, and wait for the hordes of gargoyles to fall for them, and then suddenly burrow out of the ground to outflank them. After withdrawing most of the spiders, under the command of Yang Ling, the horned bee beasts also began to retreat in batches. Pretending to be invincible, he led the hordes of gargoyles who were chasing him into the encirclement little by little. Under the heavy losses, seeing that the other party was invincible, the gargoyles chased after them and poured in like a tide. As fourth-order intermediate demonic beasts, in terms of individual combat effectiveness, they far surpassed second-order horned bee beasts and tarantulas. If it weren't for the easy defense and hard to attack the cave, if it weren't for the tenacious joint efforts of the horned bee beasts and spiders, they would have attacked a long time ago. Under the madness, the gargoyle beast surnamed Dafa lost its due vigilance and calmness, and gradually stepped on a dead land without realizing it. Without the resistance of the horned bee beast and the spider army, in the blink of an eye, a swarm of swarms rushed in, densely packed in a large area. Preliminary observations show that there are at least more than 1,000 of them. Thirty steps, twenty-five steps, twenty steps Looking at the gargoyle that was overwhelming, fast, and getting closer and closer, Yang Ling's palms were full of sweat, and he decided to wait for a while after gritting his teeth. If you don't move, you will go all out, and you must catch the other party. The number of incoming gargoyles is huge and their attacks are sharp. If you put away the Warcraft army and flee without a fight, even if you ride a unicorn that is a high-level Warcraft, I am afraid it will be difficult to kill all the way; if you command the Warcraft army to forcibly break through, it is estimated that even if you are lucky enough to rush out, the Warcraft army will suffer heavy losses. In that case, it is better to simply gamble. A big gamble, a complete gamble! In this battle, he pressed the treasure on the army of evil eyes led by the evil eye tyrant. As long as the ambushed Evil Eye can defeat the opponent's elite, as long as the frontal troops can withstand the opponent's strong attack, the outflanked spider army and horned bee beast can kill the opponent's large army by surprise. Only in this way can we give full play to the advantages of the bag array. Only succeed, not failure! Looking at the gargoyle that was getting closer and closer, Yang Ling quickly put all kinds of witch talismans in front of him, and in this battle, he took out all the treasures at the bottom of the box. Refining so many witch talismans was originally intended to be used against the Black Armor Army under Storf, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today. In large-scale battles, powerful talismans such as 'Palm Thunder' and 'Sky Cannon' are sure to work well, and as for psychic attack talismans such as 'Dolphin Sound', it is believed that they can also unexpectedly interfere with enemy troops. When there were only ten steps left in the distance, just as the gargoyle sped up again and was ready to attack, Yang Ling decisively ordered to attack. Suddenly, under the command of the Evil Eye Tyrant, the evil eyes that were ready to attack floated one after another. After a wave of blinding flash rays, dense light bullets rained down on the gargoyle that pounced on it, smashing the opponent's vanguard with a hard blow. Unsuspecting, the gargoyles who pounced on them were hit one after another, and they couldn't help but close their painful eyes, and were shot down one by one by the dense light bullets of the evil eye. Seeing that the situation was not good, the guy behind simply accelerated again, trying to pounce before the third wave of the Evil Eye's attack arrived. Even after evolving to the third level, there is still a certain interval in the attacks of the evil eye, and although the Deadwood Warrior wears sturdy tree armor and attacks sharply, he is helpless to move slowly, and it is difficult to stop the lightning-fast enemy army. The Horned Bee and Spider armies are good at attacking and defending, but unfortunately the gargoyles have not yet entered the Cloth Bag Formation, and it is not yet time for them to attack. All of a sudden, the situation was extremely grim, and if they couldn't stop the other party's surprise attack, the consequences would be unimaginable! At the last moment, Yang Ling and the unicorn made a move. Yang Ling quickly threw out powerful magic talismans such as 'palm thunder' and 'sky blasting cannon' without any money, causing bursts of thunder to hit the gargoyles that rushed over like grenades. If the 'Palm Thunder' talisman made the gargoyles suffer, then the 'Dolphin Sound' talisman was even more unexpected. After a sharp sound wave, the attacking gargoyles screamed and screamed, as if their heads had been struck by a sledgehammer. Some of them were stunned, some were slamming around, and some were even 'snapping' and falling. Yang Ling's attack is powerful, but compared to unicorns, it is nothing more than a violent. After roaring, this eighth-order demonic beast instantly emitted thick snake-shaped lightning, forming a three-dimensional ultra-high voltage power grid in the blink of an eye. Within the scope of the power grid, gargoyles were turned into charcoal by electricity and rained down on the ground. One man and one beast, the super firepower that broke out in an instant caught the enemy off guard, and withstood the first wave of the opponent's strong attack. After being hit hard by Yang Ling and the unicorn, the gargoyles who were attacking the front of the wall changed direction one after another, preparing to attack the opponent's weak right side. As long as they are entangled, the evil eye with slow speed and low defense will definitely suffer heavy casualties. Hurry, the speed of the gargoyle is too fast! Seeing that the other party suddenly changed direction and concentrated on attacking the right side, not to mention Yang Ling, even the unicorn didn't have time to rescue for a while. If they tear through the defenses, the consequences will be unimaginable. At the critical moment, the Evil-Eyed Tyrant stepped forward, and after a roar, it emitted a continuous stream of light bullets like rapid-fire cannons. What was even more surprising was that the light bullets sent out split in two, followed by two into four, and four into eight, constantly splitting rapidly, sweeping away the fast-moving gargoyles. Looking at the Evil Eye Tyrant's powerful ability, Yang Ling was overjoyed, he had been busy for so long, and finally got the reward. If this Evil Eye King can't let out a single fart, then the crystal nucleus, magic power, and life energy consumed are really not worth it. The fission projectile is not only powerful, but also has a paralyzing attack attached. After being hit, the gargoyles were not to attack, they even had difficulty breathing, and they fell to the ground weakly. After reacting to it, the gargoyle kept changing direction, trying to get rid of the Evil Eye Tyrant's light bullet with his superb flying skills and super speed. However, the unexpected happened again. After a loud shout, the Evil Eye Tyrant's single eye emitted a ray of red light. Within the range shrouded in red light, the blast bomb automatically changed direction, chasing the dodging gargoyle like lightning. Sidewinder Missile?Looking at the explosive bomb that automatically changed direction, Yang Ling was taken aback again, he didn't expect the Evil Eye Tyrant to have such a terrifying ability. It seems that after devouring a large amount of crystal nuclei, magical power, and life energy, an unimaginable mutation has occurred in its body. Not to mention anything else, at least it is much stronger than the Tarantula King, who is also a fourth-order demonic beast. After repelling the gargoyle's onslaught, the Evil-Eyed Tyrant's face turned pale, and the speed at which he fired light projectiles became slower and slower, and even his body floating in mid-air was shaky. It seems that the Exploding Bullet and Auto-Track abilities, while powerful, also require a lot of mana and energy, and are not sustainable! The Evil Eye Tyrant only erupted for a moment, but it was enough to buy the rest of the Evil Eye precious time. With the attack of the Evil Eye army, the gargoyle was once again devastated. Seeing that the fire was almost in full swing, Yang Ling ordered the ambushed army of horned bee beasts and spiders to attack and outflank the enemy's rear route. Under the combined attack of the Warcraft army, and under their heavy encirclement, the gargoyles who broke into the encirclement are gone.
