Chapter 555: Shot
Xie Ting knew that Wan Peng must have found something, so she didn't bother. After a while, Wan Peng turned his head and said, "About fifty miles away, there are two groups of people fighting. Among them, the farther group was at a clear disadvantage, fighting and retreating. Or maybe that's why the old man said let's come here. Most likely, the corpse over there was the result of a battle between these two groups. ”
Xie Ting looked at Wan Peng, "Then what should we do now?"
Wan Peng said, "Go around and take a look at the battlefield." Although we can't tell which side is good and which side is evil, and we may not be able to help, we may be able to familiarize ourselves with Jinxiao's fighting style. Let's go. ”
Xie Ting nodded. Wan Peng grabbed her and flew out to the side. Wan Peng's actions and counter-reconnaissance capabilities, Xie Ting knew in her heart, so she didn't feel the slightest nervousness about bypassing a garrison army camp like this.
Wan Peng goes around like this, almost a hundred miles. They flew from a very high position, and looking down from the air, the layout of the entire garrison barracks was relatively clear. Just like Wan Peng originally expected, just from the setting of the barracks, which is also the practice of the regular army, there are strict requirements for the distance between each two camp tents, and a Tianzi network has been formed from the air.
Three miles away from the edge of the battlefield, Wan Peng and Xie Ting landed on a big tree. At this time, the battle between the two sides was nearing its end, and the originally weaker side was even weaker. The regular army on this side is still in a strict battle formation mode, advancing to the weaker side. The ratio of troops between the two sides is basically the same, both around 10,000 people.
Jinxiao's battle array is also a miniaturized battle array, basically with more than 20 people. If measured by the operation mode or power of the battle array, their battle array should belong to the more advanced kind, and they also have the ability to comprehensively use aura, and they can also be combined and coordinated with each other. In other words, these battle formations are at least at the same level as the battle formations studied and used by Wan Peng and Liyang.
It's just that the commander of the entire team, at least the commander of the part of the team that is currently fighting, has no command quality in the eyes of Wan Peng. In a sense, their successful pursuit is due to the strength of the battle formations they use on the one hand, and the weakness of the opponent on the other hand. Originally, there were several opportunities to change the situation on the battlefield and form an overwhelming attack directly on the opponent, but this commander did not grasp it. So the result now is that the side that has already established its advantage has not been able to create a trend of destruction and decay.
On the other hand, although weak, they have an excellent grasp of the opportunities on the battlefield. They are also using battle formations, but this kind of battle formation seems to be limited to the cooperation between soldiers, and cannot form a unified offensive and defensive force. Therefore, even if the commanders are of excellent quality, they are still unable to change the situation on the battlefield. Moreover, their goal seems to be more like retreating if they can, and even if there is a gap in the battlefield, they will never seize the opportunity to attack, but quickly retreat some distance.
"These two sides are really interesting. Wan Peng shook his head slowly, "The fight is not clear." There is no city or pond here, and there is no focus of contention, and it can still be hot. ”
"Maybe it's the weaker side, on the run, or being expelled. Xie Ting said what she thought, and in this position, although she could not effectively perceive her spiritual sense, she could see clearly with her eyes.
"It's more like a run. Wan Peng touched his chin with one hand, "At the same time, it seems to be protecting something." Perhaps the stronger side camped like this because they wanted to hold the ground steadily. ”
"Hmm? Wan Peng's gaze glanced slightly to the strong rear, where another force had driven out. This force seems to have come to reinforce it, and the combat troops in front of it are not half prepared for it.
Sure enough, when the two teams met, the combat units in front retreated, and the troops behind rose up. This force was not really a reinforcement, but a change of guard with the troops in front.
In the interval between the changing of the two forces, the weaker side seized the opportunity and quickly withdrew more than a mile. By the time the troops who had come up from the changing of the guard entered the state, the retreating side had already withdrawn for three miles. As a result, the fighting between the two sides stopped temporarily, leaving behind the same scene of corpses as they had seen at the beginning.
After that, the two teams traveled at basically the same speed, and Wan Peng and Xie Ting also followed from one side to observe the subsequent changes.
After the change of guard, the regular army did not pursue with all its might, obviously retaining its physical strength and maintaining a distance of three or four miles from the withdrawn troops. However, the withdrawal of this unit has significantly reduced its physical fitness as it has been marching and fighting. After a heavy drop and withdrawal of about forty or fifty miles, the regular army suddenly exerted its strength, and the battle formation attacked quickly, and in an instant it had caught up with the troops in front, and as soon as they clashed, they killed and wounded no less than 100 people. The troops in front were also in a period of exhaustion, and were almost unable to cope with the battle. In the face of strong pursuit, their tactics seem to have changed.
From the troops, a detachment of about two thousand men was detached and retreated sharply in the direction of retreat. After that, another part of the troops separated, which followed. The rest is to resist and retreat.
Wan Peng saw this detail in his eyes and already had a rough estimate in his heart. It is very likely that they are protecting something, so in order to ensure that something is not robbed, they withdraw in batches. And making such a decision is enough to see that this force has determined that their combat strength is not enough to support it, and they can only sacrifice some people and let the key things go first.
However, Wan Peng quickly frowned.
Although they are still under protection, as another wave of people separates from the ranks, the remaining one or two thousand people may not be able to protect them.
Regardless of the cause of war, children are innocent. Judging by their height, the children were no more than ten years old, and there were as many as a hundred, gathered together, escorted by two or three hundred adults. Wan Peng now pins his hopes on this regular army, hoping that this army will understand the principle of love, pay attention to these children, and try not to hurt them.
However, Wan Peng is still not at ease. Because of the regular army in the back, every surprise attack, it seems that there is no room at all. The weaker the other party is, the more they want to kill all these people now. In order to prevent accidents, Wan Peng contacted the Fire Thunderbird King and asked the Fire Thunderbird King to be ready to lead the team at any time.
This regular army, at least Wan Peng now observes, is more inclined to ground combat. Therefore, if the Fire Thunderbird King carried out a surprise attack from the air at one time, they would naturally not be wary. At critical moments, perhaps this could save the lives of those children.
Similarly, he also asked Ning Shuang and the others to gather their own troops. If something happened, he decided to lead the team to block the children.
Time is passing, and Wan Peng's heart is getting more and more nervous. In the end, the remaining weak army was only about 2,000 people, including these children. The regular army is getting more and more courageous, and the wave of impact just now has completely broken the last barrier in front of the children.
Wan Peng began to pray in his heart that these children would be spared. However, the regular army does not seem to have considered the problem of these children at all, and if the battle formation is formed, it will be inserted between the children!
"Bird King!" Wan Peng ordered urgently. All of a sudden, the sky above the regular army was suddenly dense with red clouds, and a huge lightning bolt with a thick bowl mouth fell from the sky with a red firelight, just falling in the forward battle formation. The sudden air strike instantly dispersed the organizational structure of the battle formation at the front. The children came to life from the Grim Reaper's Eye and were carried by the others, quickly retreating.
After the fire thunderbird struck a blow, it returned to the fire and thunder space again. If you hadn't seen it in person, it is estimated that people would not believe that a red cloud had just appeared in the sky. Wan Peng also jumped out at this time, and with the fastest speed, directly before reaching the battle formation of the regular army, Ning Shuang Chengmo and others led the team to release from the fire and thunder space, and in just two impacts, more than 200 enemies were injured. After that, Wan Peng's troops returned to the Fire and Thunder Space again.
Wan Peng himself has completed the transformation of the Spirit Scattered Ice Abyss at this time. He first released his spiritual power, and then cut it off without hesitation. The Ice Heart Fire Control Technique caused a large-scale explosion, and as for the number of casualties, Wan Peng did not pay attention. Immediately after, a huge image of the Buddha behind him rose in the air, and three golden palms in a row mercilessly slapped into the regular army.
Brother doesn't want to hurt anyone, but Brother can't allow you to hurt the child. Because that's the most innocent of people!
There is a reason for war, but children are by no means a reason for war to be killed! Whoever kills children will pay the price.
In the midst of Wanpeng's series of blockades, those children have withdrawn two miles away. Wan Peng himself also withdrew at this time, quickly disappeared in the eyes of everyone, and entered the forest where he was just now.
The casualties of the regular army were no less than seven or eight hundred. For a team of about 10,000 people, this is not a tragedy, but all this happened in too short a time. Moreover, in the air, elite troops, and personal strength, one by one, were displayed in the eyes of their commanders. It is true that there were factors in their defeat that they did not anticipate, because their attention was all focused on those weak troops. However, what is more critical is the strength of Wan Peng's series of attacks.
If there were any words to describe it, it would be shock. The more regular the troops, the more they can know the shock of Wan Peng's series of attacks just now. Although the regular army's battle formation was already broken after the Fire Thunderbird attack, they were able to adjust. But the problem was that the troops led by Cheng Mo Ningshuang ate several of their battle formations entirely.
This is obviously strength, but also a deterrent!
The commanders of the regular army, of course, understood this. He looked at the endgame of the battlefield, held out a hand, and ordered, "Stop the pursuit." Report to the commander-in-chief that when encountering an attack by an unknown force, it is unknown whether there are ambushes or not, and it is not appropriate to continue the pursuit. Set up camp here and inspect the site to see if you can find the secrets from the dead. However, this is unlikely. I'll go back and report back to the manager later. ”
