Chapter 255: The Autumn Wind Sweeps the Leaves
After Wang Lun integrated the two brigades, he quickly arranged the battle plan, and the order given to Wang Lun by the city lord of Dawn City was to eradicate some small strongholds of the Ranger Pavilion in Dawn City as a pioneer before the large army moved, and then cooperate with the support troops and special forces sent by Chixia City to launch an attack on the main altar of the Ranger Pavilion, eradicating the forces of the Ranger Pavilion in one fell swoop, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, and never suffering in the future. In order to complete this task, Wang Lun asked for a piece of information from Marshal Zhao in advance, according to the intelligence, among the ten strongholds as targets, judging by the number of people stationed, they can be divided into three types, of which only one is a small stronghold led by a silver ranger, a total of five, these five small strongholds, Wang Lun sent a team with light cavalry as the main force to attack to exterminate, and there is a medium-sized stronghold led by a golden ranger, a total of three, Wang Lun sent a reorganized squadron to carry trebuchets and pills made of special substances found by Wang Lun to exterminate, these three squadrons Wang Lun also raised his face to the commander of the army, the strength of the golden ranger should not be underestimated, and it is very likely that there will be a wide range of lethal moves, so Wang Lun told them that once the war starts, they must not charge directly, but use the trebuchet to consume first, and then rush up to harvest when the consumption is almost over, if someone is ready to break through or attack, not to say a word, the arrow beckons.
After instructing the three squadron leaders, there is the last category left, this type is a large stronghold, with more than two Golden Ranger commanders, it is said that there may be a big ranger-level character in it, but this is just speculation, but this speculation is not groundless, if there is really a big ranger, it will not be easy to do, the big rangers are all King Kong-level strength, converted into cultivation, it should be the early or even middle stage of the transformation realm, such an opponent is 100% will use a wide range of lethal moves, Therefore, Wang Lun did not dare to support these two places, and directly sent two brigades to attack, as for the squad responsible for exterminating small strongholds, Wang Lun also asked them to return as soon as possible after the operation.
In this way, all the battle plans were all arranged, after nightfall, the soldiers and horses of the two brigades all rushed out, respectively to their respective targets, the first contact with the enemy was the five teams attacking small strongholds, these five captains rushed directly to the target non-stop, in the process of charging, the cavalry threw out the spears in their hands, and successfully wiped out the five small strongholds with lightning speed, and even the commander's silver ranger was hacked to death with a knife, These five squads completed the task at the cost of almost zero losses, before chasing the large army, the squad leader also ordered all the five strongholds to be cleaned, and then burned down, and there will never be anything left for them to use, in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and when cleaning the battlefield, the squad leader in order to prevent fish from slipping through the net, also deliberately put the corpse together, and also turned the stronghold upside down, digging three feet into the ground is a bit too much, but there is still a foot, When the corpses were counted, it was found that they were indeed a hundred people.
After all this was dealt with, the captains of the five teams led their troops to chase after the large army, and the attack on the small stronghold was like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and did not give the people of the Ranger Pavilion any time to react at all. After the cleaning of the small stronghold was completed, the squadron that encircled and suppressed the medium-sized stronghold was also all in place, this time they did not act as fast as the squad, but directly surrounded the medium-sized stronghold, but they were not close, the soldiers of the Chaoyang Corps discharged a row of shield walls in front of them with heavy shield soldiers, and behind the shield wall were pikemen, these pikemen stretched their weapons out of the gap in the shield wall, and the blades reflected the cold light under the moonlight, and the pikemen were followed by archers, and after the archers were cavalry, The cavalry was followed by charioteers and trebuchets, and the sword and shield soldiers were supposed to be between pikemen and archers, but in order to ensure the safety of the trebuchets, they were assigned to defend here.
The arrangement of these three squadrons was silent, and the movement of the catapult was also very cautious, for fear of making a little noise, before Wang Lun and their two reorganized brigades set off, the general altar of the Ranger Pavilion had already received information, and quickly judged that at this time they were going to encircle and suppress the stronghold below them, and at that time they notified the commander of the large stronghold of this situation together with the warning, and there was really a big ranger in these two large strongholds, one surnamed Shang, named Shang Hu, is the strength of the third layer of the Transformation Realm, and the other is surnamed Ma, is named Ma Weijun, who is the strength of the second layer of the Transformation Realm, Shang Hu cultivates the fire element, and Ma Weijun cultivates the water element, all of them are strong guys, not under that Jin Wuming, after these two big rangers received the warning from the general altar, although they arranged the defense work, but because Dawn City had also sent troops to encircle and suppress it before, they returned with the heart of light on the enemy, and did not transfer the warning to the medium-sized strongholds and small strongholds below, which made Wang Lun's side easily destroy the five small strongholds, Now the three medium-sized strongholds have been fenced off.
The three squadrons here have completed the encirclement, but it may be that there are more people in the medium-sized stronghold, and the vigilance is worse than that of the small stronghold, which is not to blame them, and now there are no people in the vicinity who dare to wrestle with the people of the Ranger Lodge, and those who can break their wrists have already been stepped on by their people, so the squadron has carried out a smooth game here, plus the range of the trebuchet is still quite far, and it is not too close to the stronghold. The three squadron leaders looked at the time, and then directly ordered the attack, only to see that the three trebuchets carried by each squadron instantly threw out the things that had been loaded, and the three captains unanimously chose the special flammable substances found by Wang Lun for the first shot, only to see the three black large jars burst into flames and smashed directly into the interior of the stronghold, the jars broke in response, and all the substances inside were exposed, plus the ignition of the flames, and the flames ignited, and the flames ignited in an instant. Now the people in the stronghold are completely messed up, noisily out to extinguish the fire, even the golden ranger was also alarmed, came out to see what the situation was, but he didn't understand it yet, only to see three big jars smashed over, and now there was no need for the fire on the jar to ignite the substance, the stall was baked at high temperature, and exploded directly in mid-air, and the scope of the substance was sprayed at once, and many of them stuck to the bodies of those people in the stronghold, after ignition, the people who burned jumped up and down, rolling all over the ground, but the strange thing is that This substance cannot be extinguished at all, it can only be doused with water, and those who can't wait for water are burned alive to carbon, and the death is extremely ugly. But all this continued, and the three squadrons directly played four rounds of this large jar before stopping, and then replaced it with a large stone and began to fire again.
The golden ranger in the medium-sized stronghold saw that the situation could not sit still, and directly gave up fighting the fire, and led the troops to rush out of the stronghold and rushed to the camp of the Chaoyang Corps, but this was destined to have no effect, Wang Lun had already given the order in advance, and the squadron leaders of the three leading soldiers strictly implemented the order, only to see the sound of a neat bowstring sounding in the archers' phalanx, and saw a black oppressive arrow falling from mid-air with a cold light, and those who rushed out of the stronghold were all hit, because it was a saturation attack, And the people in the Ranger Pavilion are not regular troops at all, even if they are riding horses, they are not wearing heavy armor at all, and they do not have shields, they are completely relying on their bodies to resist, so how can they resist, it is still very easy for arrows to break through the leather armor and other equipment on their bodies, and soon, under the continuous baptism of arrows, only the Golden Ranger led a few well-equipped subordinates to rush out, and the rest were shot into hedgehogs by arrows, even if they rushed out, there were a few arrows on their bodies, But none of them were fatal injuries.
The golden ranger doesn't care who the opponent is now, he directly waved the blade in his hand and went straight into the camp of the Chaoyang Corps, and the few people he brought out also followed in, but they didn't hit the archer phalanx, when they approached the shield wall to a certain distance, the archers had already retreated, and they hit the heavy cavalry that had entered the sprint stage, the battle between the cavalry and the cavalry had no skills at all, it was a complete hard-fought battle, and the number of people was fighting, And obviously the poor few people led by the Golden Ranger are not the opponents of the heavy cavalry here at all, the poor few people finally rushed through the arrow area, but they only waved their swords and cut a few pikemen and shield soldiers and then made no achievements, even the leading Golden Ranger was only a few symbolic struggles and was cut down by the galloping heavy cavalry, on the other hand, only the two cavalry who collided head-on were injured, and the rest were not injured at all.
This is the battle of the medium-sized stronghold, with the trebuchet as the main attack, the archers shoot the enemy who rushes out, and finally the heavy cavalry hedges, slashing and killing the fish that slip through the net, in the step-by-step compact battle, the medium-sized stronghold is directly cleaned up, and the Chaoyang Corps has no casualties, only injuries, not serious injuries. Looking at the burning stronghold from a distance, the squadron leader tacitly did not send people to clean up the battlefield, but all left here, the stronghold itself is not big, coupled with the covering flame attack, it is impossible for anyone to be alive at all, but although they withdrew, they still kept an eye on it, leaving a detachment of light cavalry to deal with the aftermath, in order to not let any remnants leave this side alive to ensure that no fish slipped through the net.
