Chapter 671: Fire Attack is also possible
There was silence all around. Although they had been prepared to intercept the army of the Tianlang Nation, it was still hard to believe when they heard this.
There are only 800 of them in total. To intercept an army of 150,000, each of them has to fight 20.
What's more, among that army there are Zhang Qi, who ranks 34th on the list of divine generals, Bai Ce, who ranks 65th, Jian Sheng, who ranks 71st, Shi Zhen, who ranks 83rd, and Yin Qian, who ranks 95th.
It was Xu Wu who broke the deadlock first:
"I've been wanting to fuck him for a long time!"
One against twenty? During this period, the number of enemies killed by his rifle was more than a hundred.
"If Xu Wu isn't afraid, then he'll definitely do it!"
Lei Pokong's face was full of fighting spirit. In all these days, he had not had a single fight that satisfied him.
"beat!"
Duanmu Liangjiang only said one word, but it revealed his determination.
"I listen to you."
Fengsheng put his arm around Lin Xiaofan's.
"Since you have no objection, let's fight!"
Lin Xiaofan laughed. Thinking about the difference in numbers, he felt it was a bit crazy.
"The 150,000 soldiers of the Tianlang Kingdom may sound intimidating, but they are no match for us at all."
"First of all, we have been intercepting their food supplies these days, making them mistakenly believe that we are creating opportunities for the East Territory. Now that our goal has been achieved, we must go back."
"No one could have imagined that a thousand soldiers would be able to kill an army of 150,000. So in this battle, we are in the dark and they are in the light."
"Secondly, although the other side has five generals, they are all outside the top 30 on the Godly Generals List. It can be said that there are no famous generals."
"Besides, they are fighting against the Tang Dynasty and secretly seizing cities. They will definitely turn back after a setback. After the defeat, their morale is low, while ours is high."
"Finally, we still have plenty of time to prepare, a month or two to set up an ambush, which can be regarded as a head start."
"This battle must be won!"
After some analysis, the soldiers around who were originally a little unconfident suddenly became confident.
Although I don’t quite understand it, but if you calculate it this way, the advantage is huge!
Besides, it’s not like they haven’t done this kind of thing before.
Five years ago, Duanmu Liangjiang led thousands of people to intercept the 100,000-strong army of Ningchuan Kingdom.
Most of them were present at the time.
That battle directly dispersed an army of 100,000.
Although there are fewer people now, after five years of experience, their fighting power is much stronger.
Plus with Lin Xiaofan as the team leader, there was no reason to lose.
"Brothers, work hard. If we win this battle, we will have to open a separate page in our family tree when we go back."
Although Lei Pokong's words were a bit rough, they boosted the morale of the soldiers.
Everyone hit it off and chose a forest as the ambush site, which was also the only way for the Sirius army to return.
Their team had no horses, but the army of the Tianlang Kingdom had many cavalry.
The location is suspended in the forest, which can destroy more than half of the cavalry of the Tianlang Kingdom.
Secondly, they had plenty of time to prepare. The terrain in the forest was complicated and they could use more than a month to learn it thoroughly.
The only thing the Sirius soldiers had to rely on was a map of the forest.
"Duanmu Liangjiang, take a dozen people into the city and buy some food."
There is a city sixty miles away from here. For Duanmu Liangjiang and others, they can walk back and forth in one day after taking off their armor and ensure supplies.
"Lei Pokong, take your men and bury Lei Zhenzi."
"Xu Wu, you do the investigation work."
Lin Xiaofan was arranging things.
He was preparing a trap.
First, cut off several pieces of wood of appropriate size and sharpen the tops. Then dig a small hole in the ground, insert the wood into it, align the tops, and then camouflage it on top.
If he stepped on it, his leg would be crippled. On this battlefield, a soldier who lost a leg was as good as crippled.
"Husband, this trap is great. We can add some feces to it, bury it in the path of our escape, and then mark it."
Feng Sheng looked at the carefully laid trap and spoke.
If you smear feces on a sharp part, if someone steps on it, the wound will become infected.
After all, their numbers were too small. If they failed to defeat the enemy after charging and fighting, they had to be prepared to escape.
"Who said we're going to run away? They're the ones who are going to run away."
A smile appeared on Lin Xiaofan's lips.
"Sometimes fighting doesn't necessarily require the use of humans; fire can also be used."
……
Lei Zhenzi's deployment took only three days. During the rest of the time, the soldiers set up various traps throughout the forest and placed flammable materials everywhere.
The forest is quite large and contains tigers, jackals, and other animals. Even hunters can only stay on the outskirts of the forest and cannot come into contact with them.
There were also some foreign caravans and merchants passing by, but they were discovered in advance by the scouts and everyone hid.
There was even a small army passing by, but Lin Xiaofan did not order an attack because once a fight broke out, the position would definitely be exposed.
More than a month has passed by in a blink of an eye.
The weather was too hot, so everyone took off their armor. The clothes they wore were already tattered, and their skin was tanned black. From a distance, they looked like a group of savages.
"Brother Lin, the scouts have spotted the troops of the Tianlang Nation. There are about 130,000 of them, with some wounded among them. Their morale is not high. They are about 20 miles away from here."
Xu Wu came back quickly, his upper body naked, holding a freshly caught rabbit in his hand.
"Put on your armor and prepare for battle."
The people around them immediately perked up. They had been waiting for this day for a month.
One hundred thousand troops marched along the long ancient road. In the center of the army, five generals walked together.
In the center is Zhang Qi. Unlike other generals, he is thin and wears ordinary-looking armor. His only weapon is a knife.
He is not proficient in martial arts, and his current position is due to his command of troops and his strategies.
On his left and right are Bai Ce and Jian Sheng, both in their twenties, one using a knife and the other using a gun. They are the two rising stars of the Tianlang Country and the backbone of its future.
This time I went to the Tang Dynasty to fight, one was to gain some military merit, and the other was to gain some experience.
Further to the left and right are Shi Zhen and Yin Qian.
Shi Zhen is completely different from Zhang Qi. He was able to be on the list of divine generals purely by virtue of his military strength. In this regard, he can be said to have reached the pinnacle.
The reason is simple. In a war, a single person's martial arts can hardly have an impact on the battle situation, so it is the most difficult to make the list by relying on martial arts.
In the battle with the Tang Dynasty, he single-handedly restrained three of the ten great generals. Although he lost the battle, his ranking on the God General List is expected to rise in the future.
But he also paid some price, and a big scratch on one of his arms was poisonous.
Although the accompanying military doctor has treated the wound, he cannot move within a hundred days, otherwise the wound will worsen and may leave sequelae.
Compared to the others, Yin Qian was relatively mediocre. He was in his fifties or sixties and used his troops cautiously. He was able to make it to the list of great generals simply because he had fought many battles and was rich in experience.
