Chapter 604: Inspiration
After receiving the departure order, the first wing Zhang Harvey commanded his subordinates to form four columns and set off slowly, while Harvey and his guards, standard-bearers and others were in the middle of the wing.
Next, Gibbon of the 2nd Wing followed closely behind the 1st Wing, with only a few dozen meters in between, and everything proceeded in a regular marching column.
Next, George of the Third Wing and Mondstadt of the Fourth Wing set off in turn, and it was not until Kit of the Fifth Wing also led the team to set off that Wang Yong turned his head and said to Fuller: "I'll leave it to you here, pack up the important things, and put the unimportant things in the warehouse, but don't go too far, if the enemy occupies the camp and sees that we have a premeditated plan, it will not be good." By the way, we must urge the soldiers to train every day, and we must also learn the war song, and I hope that all the soldiers will be able to sing it loudly when we come back to meet. After saying that, Wang Yong asked one of the two soldiers who had learned the war song with him to stay, while the other went out with the army to teach the war song to the other soldiers during the break.
Seeing that the Fifth Wing had already set off, Wang Yong waved his hand with a smile and said, "I'm leaving, let's see you in a few days." With that, he took Shadow Dance, Light Spirit and Matthew, as well as a flag bearer and two flag guards, and set off to join Zhang Kit of the Fifth Wing.
Fuller looked at the thin manpower beside Wang Yong, his brows furrowed, and he said to the captain of the personal guard beside him: "You bring a hundred of the best skills to protect the lord, even if you die, you must protect the safety of the lord." The captain of Fuller's personal guard took the order, and the ten squads with the strongest combat effectiveness said goodbye to Fuller and went straight to Wang Yong's place.
Wang Yong and Ying Wu and the others had just joined Kit, and they saw a pair of men and horses galloping over, when Wang Yong learned of the intention of these people, he smiled, and did not refuse Fuller's kindness, and selected a few strong guys to stay by his side as coolies, and let the other guards with outstanding combat effectiveness all go to protect the banner of the Chinese army.
Watching Wang Yong and Shadow Dance, Matthew and Kitt and others talk and laugh all the way away, Fuller and the rest of the guards sat on horseback and watched quietly, knowing that all the troops had set off. There was a slow disappearance on the southern horizon, and only then did it leisurely return to the seemingly empty barracks.
There is only one task this time, and that is to lure the enemy deeper, and the sooner the better, but the difficulty is that the commander of the enemy army is extremely stable and not an easy rookie.
Along the way, the motley Fifth Army led by Wang Yong did not march fast, and after entering the province of West Asia, it changed to the east and headed straight for the enemy's main army.
After two days of trekking, Wang Yong's army only walked more than 100 miles. This was a bit too slow for the 'cavalry', but Wang Yong was not in a hurry, because in the past two days, the soldiers' riding skills had improved a lot, and Wang Yong was also thinking and perfecting the method he had just come up with.
According to the results of the previous discussions, Wang Yong had to lead his troops to engage the enemy's main force, grasp the scale of casualties and retreat, and maintain combat effectiveness while constantly harassing the enemy army, making him lose patience and chase after him. Then take the enemy army into the coastal province.
This plan is decent, but it will pay a lot of casualties, and Wang Yong looked at the young and energetic faces of the soldiers after setting off. Wang Yong's heart softened, and he couldn't bear to let them die, so he secretly conceived another somewhat risky plan.
On the second night after his departure, Wang Yong, who had had dinner, sat in a simple marching tent and quietly thought about tomorrow. According to scout reports and monitoring by air scouts, there will be an encounter with the enemy's vanguard around noon tomorrow. This vanguard of the enemy is two elite infantry legions of the Eternal Empire, and they are not only experienced in combat. The individual combat effectiveness of the soldiers is also outstanding.
Wang Yong did not know why the regimental establishment of this continent was so thin, and what a corps of 2,000 men could do? In the event of a war, it was not necessary to form a group army and form sufficient combat effectiveness? Isn't this too troublesome?
Wang Yong shook his head, put aside these inconsequential things, and thought about how to cripple or repel the enemy troops of the four wings at the minimum cost, because only in this way can the enemy army be afraid of his own troops, and will not let it go and turn a blind eye, so that the plan to lure the enemy into the depths will completely fail.
At this time, Shadow Dance and Light Spirit got into Wang Yong's tent, Light Spirit took off the cloth hat on the black robe, pouted and said angrily: "Those scouts are so annoying, they bullied us without professional scouts, and they are almost touching our camp." Boss, you're going to let me and Shadow Dance go out and teach these pesky guys a lesson. ”
Wang Yong smiled slightly, touched his light little head and said, "Just let them follow, it's still useful for me to keep them." By the way, how are you doing with botanical magic?"
Hearing Wang Yong ask about cultivation, he smiled lightly, and hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Boss, I'll go outside and take a look, my horse doesn't seem to have been fed yet." After saying that, he ran out of the tent with a smoke.
Shadow Dance shook her head and smiled bitterly and said, "Light Spirit has good talents, but he just doesn't like to cultivate. ”
Wang Yong smiled and said, "She is still young, and it is normal for her to not calm down, so take her time." What about you, how are you doing?"
Shadow Dance smiled bitterly and said, "Alas, the progress is slow, although I have the magic power of a junior magician, but until now, I can at most release a magic apprentice-level winding technique, and it has to be without anyone interfering." Moreover, at my current level, the vines have not yet entangled the enemy's feet, and they have long since run away, and there is no practical use value at all. ”
Wang Yong comforted: "Don't worry, take your time, now the march and war are not suitable for cultivating magic, when the war is over, you all have to retreat and practice for a while, and the speed will be faster when you calm down, when I first learned magic, I also stumbled all the way to learn, and I have only learned two magic until now." ”
Thinking of Wang Yong's-like magic, Shadow Dance couldn't help but laugh and said, "Boss, your summoning heavenly can be used less, it's too embarrassing, I don't think it's as good as using an armor-piercing crossbow arrow." ”
Wang Yong feigned anger and said, "What? You look down on my magic?"
As soon as Wang Yong's words fell, he suddenly remembered something, and after his eyes lit up for a while, he said excitedly: "Yes, crossbow arrow, why did I forget it? As he spoke, Wang Yong, who was overly excited, gave a hard kiss on Ying Wu's beautiful face, and then hurriedly ran out of the tent and gathered all the wing captains to count the number of crossbows they carried.
