Chapter 32: An Encounter in Fate
From the north gate all the way to the clouds, as Kong Ming saw, there was no soldier on a street, the soldiers stationed at the north gate were all shortcut to the east gate, when Kong Ming led the troops to the north gate, only the flag on the city wall was still fluttering in the wind, but there was no one, the city gate was also wide open, Kong Ming could even see the distant Harvey army outside through the city gate. Without the slightest hesitation, Kong Ming rushed straight out of the north gate with the men of the cavalry regiment, and then rushed straight to the northeast, in the gap between the enemy. Originally, according to Kong Ming's idea, no matter what the enemy was, he should send some troops to pursue, but those Harvey troops actually had no reaction to Kong Ming's team, this abnormal phenomenon made Kong Ming really incomprehensible, after all, now is the time to flee for his life, not the time to be curious, and, no matter what the situation is ahead, it is the same as death, in other words, it is the only way to move forward, and sometimes the choice without a choice is also a choice. Kong Ming and his troops roared past less than three hundred meters from the enemy's flank, and in a short time they passed through the enemy's position and disappeared into the eyes of the enemy.
"General, will you just let them go?" a general in the enemy camp asked the general next to him, looking at the place where Kong Ming had disappeared.
"Hehe! How is it possible, there are people waiting for them, these are none of our business, we are here to pretend to be forced now. The Lord will answer.
"This strategy of the legion commander is really good, to ambush the main force in their only way, and we only need to make a show here, and after they leave, we can directly occupy the city. It's ridiculous that they are still scrambling to drill into the circle, but General, it seems that the team just now did not go into the circle?"
"You know, the enemy is not all stupid, and there are always one or two who are a little smarter!" said the main general, and then laughed.
The generals next to him also echoed and smiled when they saw this.
Kong Ming is not very clear about the enemy's strategy, but Kong Ming knows that the enemy must be in ambush outside the east gate, and he will close the net just when the Chu army enters, if the Chu army is a battalion step by step, there are still many troops that can leave here, but now not only are they doing their own thing, but most of the senior generals have used the teleportation array to leave the royal city and abandon all these armies, so these armies have been abandoned like this. And Kong Ming just wants to open the ambush circle, the farther away from there the better, if Kong Ming knew that the Chu army was like this beforehand, then he would definitely find a map near the royal city, but now it is too late for anything. There is no if, a general may lead the army into a desperate situation if he does not think it carefully, and now Kong Ming's situation is like this, but even at this time, Kong Ming still wants to find an idea that minimizes his danger factor from several ideas that are not very satisfactory to him, but there is no known or unknown intelligence that can be referred to, only the intuition of many years of military travel can make him have an instinct similar to that of an animal, so that he can lead a team to break through in one direction. Intuition is a kind of human unknown or unstudied, stored in all people, but for different people, its correctness is an unknown, an unknown that cannot be explained, but people who have been engaged in a career or work all the year round have an intuition for their own career, and this intuition is very important for a certain process, and for a soldier, it often means that he can lead an army to his advantage, in other words, this is genius。 And Kong Ming's intuition was indeed not wrong, if there were no accidental factors, he could have led this cavalry out of the enemy's encirclement and safely to the Huayuan Empire, but, as Clausewitz said: "War is full of chances. And it was this accident that brought the cavalry regiment led by Kong Ming into a desperate situation. And this chance was the cavalry of a division led by a noble son of Harvey.
This cavalry division, which was supposed to be in place yesterday, was delayed until today because of the physical discomfort of a noble son of Harvey, and this cavalry division, which did not move today under the repeated supervision of Shangguan, only began to advance towards its predetermined waiting area after the Chu army suddenly left the royal city After that, they finally found a correct path to their waiting area, and it was at this time that the team led by Kong Ming collided headlong with their cavalry division. And the commander of this cavalry division is one of the toughest opponents destined by Kong Ming in his life, the nephew of the Harvey Emperor Kaisa Santa Cruz, the eighteen-year-old Alexander Cruy, a highly talented student of the Harvey Military University, and a great swordsman of the earth department. At this time, the two did not know each other, but this did not prevent them from fighting for the first time.
After the two teams collided, Kong Ming was not surprised, because Kong Ming thought that he would lead the team to break through the enemy's team, and Kong Ming could not quietly lead a team of more than 3,000 people to the enemy's encirclement in broad daylight. And Alexander was very surprised, the future Harvey general, obviously considered a lot of factors, can be delayed, is to eliminate more Chu army, so he did not bring the team to the battlefield, is to fight the dream of pursuing from behind, to know very well that the soldier said such a sentence, return to the division is not exhausted, that is, do not go to block the fleeing army, this will pay a great price, in other words, from the enemy's rear pursuit will achieve great results, and the cost is very small. But God let the two lifelong opponents meet here in advance, and this battle is destined to be a battle that the two of them, and many people will never forget, this battle not only includes the heroism of the army, but also contains betrayal, and after this battle, Kongming's thinking has completely grown, whether it is military or political. For many people, suffering is the most direct catalyst, which can make a person become the most mature person overnight, and can also make a person become an escape from the world overnight, and Kongming is obviously the former. The meeting between the two took place under such a circumstance, after Marshal Kong Ming led 3,000 men to bypass the enemy's position, and did not advance to the east, but ran straight to the north, apparently he thought that there would be an enemy ambush in the east, and the enemy did not bother to attack such a small fish as Kong Ming, and it turned out that Kong Ming's conjecture was correct; Kruy believes that the Chu army has broken away from the strong royal city, but now there is still a certain combat effectiveness, this time is the time for the enemy to desperately flee, and it is also the best time for the enemy's body and energy, and now to fight with the enemy will make his subordinates lose Yan zhòng, the most correct way is to slowly approach the enemy, so that they are tired of fleeing, at this time, the enemy's team will be scattered, at this time the attack is like a bamboo, and will not let themselves suffer too much loss, you can achieve the best results, why notSo his army was slowly running in the direction of the East Gate. At this time, Kong Ming's army was like a sharp knife directly inserted into Alexander Kruid's formation, because Alexander Kruid's army was in front of Kong Ming.
Kong Ming looked at the enemy army not far ahead, this is also a cavalry, and it is a light cavalry like Kong Ming's army. Obviously, they didn't foresee the arrival of Kong Ming and the others, their formation was very unfavorable, but obviously this was a strictly trained team, when Kong Ming was close to them for two hundred meters, they had already faced Kong Ming's team, the defenders of the strikers became two wings in a very short period of time, and the magician also began to prepare magic, and the bow and arrow slowly pulled away, just waiting for Kong Ming and the others to enter the range. And Kongming's side also began to prepare magic, and the cavalry's short swords also aimed at the enemy. Although the enemy's strength is more than three times that of the Chu army, the Chu army has an absolute advantage on a narrow front, and the two armies are constantly approaching. One hundred and eighteen, at this distance, the commander of the Chu army first cast magic and arrows, and when the magic and arrows of the Chu army were still on the way, the magic and arrows of the Harvey army were also released, and for a while, in front of the formation of the two armies, the arrows and colorful magic flew towards each other, and those long-distance magic were much simpler, directly above or under the enemy, burning the sky, freezing thousands of miles, and stabbing on the ground. Storm and many other fifth- and sixth-level magic came overwhelmingly, and all of them opened their fighting aura in an instant, but the horses were not good, and many horses died at once under the first round of long-range attacks, including the horses of Kongming. Although the horse was dead, the attack continued, and Kong Ming jumped down and rushed straight forward with the team. It was an asymmetrical battle, and the overall ratio of forces between the enemy and us was three to one or more, but it was also an overwhelming battle for Kong Ming, because the enemy in front of him was much smaller than him. Kruid's army is from west to east, and it is in a column rather than an unfolded phalanx formation, so even if the other side reacts quickly, it is impossible to adjust the team at once, and moreover, it takes time to adjust, and the length of the adjustment time, the speed of the team's reaction is the difference between the elite and the ordinary soldiers, this is what we usually call the time difference, Alexander · Kruid's army is not an elite team, although it can still maintain a certain formation under the impact of Kong Ming's team, and if you change to another team, you may be directly crossed by Kong Ming.
The melee was going on, the Chu army led by Kong Ming had a local advantage, and it didn't take long to break the Harvey army into two sections, and the Chu army of more than 3,000 people began to break through from the breach, Kong Ming stood in the center of the breach, commanding the flanks of the team to constantly intercept the Harvey army that was trying to block the Chu army, while constantly destroying the team moving outward in the middle to move faster. At this time, the time and space Ming saw the flag of the other party's boss not far ahead, and there was a young man under that banner, he was wearing a division-level magic armor, but what attracted people's attention was not the armor on his body, but the golden ribbon of royal majesty on his helmet, no matter who anyone who had some common sense about the continent would understand after seeing that thing, this is a royal person, maybe it is too far away, although Kong Ming can see this, but it is impossible to see more carefully, but Kong Ming knows that it is now a very critical moment, because the other party's boss has come, and the next will be a moment of life and deathFor Alexander Cruid, this question is undoubtedly very simple, eating Kong Ming's team is winning, otherwise it is not a loss, because his appetite is too big, and he really can't look down on Kong Ming, a team of only 3,000 people. On the other hand, this is not the case on Kongming's side, winning is to escape with your life, otherwise you will lose, or be captured, or die, there will be no more choice.
Kong Ming looked at Alexander Kruid, and Alexander Kruid was also watching, neither side expected that this was the first meeting in the lives of the two sides, and it was also the beginning of a lifelong struggle between the two opponents, this was the first meeting in the fate of the two opponents, and this encounter made the two destined to fight for a lifetime. Alexander Cruy and Kong Ming didn't realize this, I saw Alexander Kruid with his right index finger at Kong Ming, and then shook it, and then opened his palm and made a fist movement, Kong Ming didn't know what this action was, but just when Kong Ming was confused, Kong Ming directly lost consciousness.
