Chapter 668 Chen Tian's Hidden Strength
The soldiers around were all new recruits, and since this was in the Tianlang country, they never thought they would be attacked.
The sudden situation left them completely confused.
Moreover, they lacked combat experience and had no idea where the bows and arrows came from.
Not only them, but the centurions were also bewildered. They were all young masters from big families, coming here to do some harmless tasks and gain military merits, so how could they suddenly encounter such a thing?
A few more arrows were shot, and several old soldiers who tried to give orders were also killed.
"How to do?"
"How do I know?"
"Let's run."
"What about the food? This is a capital crime, and your father can't protect you."
"There are only a few bows on the other side, so I guess there aren't many people."
"Let the archers shoot them."
"There are no archers in our team."
"Let them charge."
"Row!"
After several rounds of arrows, they finally figured out the attacker's position and immediately gave the first order: Charge!
The soldiers did not dare to disobey the order, but no one dared to take the lead, so they just stood there in a daze.
It was not until the supervisor chopped off a few heads that the group of people launched the charge.
When they were about to reach the top of the mountain, suddenly countless people emerged from their camouflage, wearing heavy black armor and holding blades in their hands.
Duanmu Liangjiang, holding a black spear in his hand and wearing a bronze mask, leaped into the crowd and killed four or five recruits in just a few moves.
Two men bravely stepped forward and chopped Duanmu Liangjiang with swords.
But Duanmu Liangjiang took the two hits solidly, but because of the armor on his body, he did not suffer any damage.
With a loud shout and a sweep of the spear, the two men fell to the ground.
Where had these new soldiers ever seen such a scene? Looking at their comrades being shot dead one by one, they could only leave first as a sign of respect.
Lei Pokong held a big knife in his hand and adopted the same strategy of not dodging or evading. He killed the enemies while laughing wildly and was not inferior in momentum at all.
Xu Wu holds a spear in his hand, and every swing of it can take a life.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the battle was over.
They only killed more than 300 people, not because they were not strong enough, but purely because the enemy ran too fast and it was difficult to chase them in their territory.
"That's it. I thought the Sirius Nation was so powerful."
Xu Wu wiped the bloody lance with disdain in his eyes.
"Some new recruits, not very capable. I killed twelve of them."
Lei Pokong thought it was meaningless. Before his bones could even move, the person ran away.
"It's just this little, and I killed sixteen of them."
When Xu Wu heard this, he immediately became energetic.
In the battle, he only used sixteen moves and killed sixteen people.
These Sirius soldiers had no power to resist him.
"You have the advantage of weapons."
Lei Pokong looked Xu Wu up and down. There was no need for him to lie about such a thing. Besides, this rifle was much easier to kill than him.
"What should we do with the food?"
Duanmu Liangjiang looked at the carts of food and fodder and fell into deep thought.
There isn't much to take away, so the best thing to do is to burn some.
"Don't rush to deal with it. Let's eat first."
Lin Xiaofan said.
"Eat? Here?"
Xu Wu's face was filled with shock.
This is enemy territory and they have exposed their position.
"Just make a fire and cook."
Lei Pokong patted Xu Wu on the back.
In fact, except for a few important cities, these inland cities had very few defenders.
If a city can gather a few hundred city guards, its fate will be decided.
Therefore, within half a month, it would be difficult for the enemy to form a siege.
"By the way, didn't we kill two deer this morning? Let the brothers take care of them so we can have a good meal tonight."
Lin Xiaofan gave orders and took out a bag of salt from his pocket.
He bought this from the city. Although it is far inferior to refined salt, it is worse than nothing.
"If I had known this earlier, I would have bought some meat when I went to the city today."
A guard next to him sighed.
I guess the city gates are now sealed and they won’t be allowed in.
The dinner was very sumptuous, the most filling meal they had had in the month since they came here.
The excess food would eventually be burned, and the soldiers ate as much as they could to avoid waste.
After three days of rest on the spot, the Tianlang Kingdom sent some scouts to gather information, but no army came to encircle and suppress the rebellion.
As predicted, the enemy had no capable troops nearby.
They hit the road again and became an elite force full of energy and vitality.
The time spent on the journey is always boring, but in other places, the Tianlang Kingdom has been almost destroyed.
At Tianxiaomen, Zheng Feiying's face turned ashen as he looked at the countless corpses below.
After fighting for so long, he met the toughest opponent ever and also suffered the biggest defeat ever.
Faced with an enemy of 100,000 against 100,000, he still defended the city. The battle lasted for more than a month, and more than 30,000 Sirius soldiers died.
On the other hand, in Daqian, only more than 10,000 people died.
He vaguely remembered the conversation between him and the Wolf King before the expedition.
"General Zheng, Daqian has Lin Xiaofan and a hundred thousand troops. How many soldiers can you defend the city with?"
"Your Majesty, if we want to defend the city, 20,000 soldiers are enough. If we want to defeat the enemy, 50,000 soldiers are enough."
At that time, he was full of energy and thought that Daqian could be defeated in a snap and Lin Xiaofan was no match for him at all.
"Okay! I'll give you 100,000 soldiers and horses to destroy Daqian's 100,000-strong army!"
"I accept your order!"
More than a month ago, when he learned that Lin Xiaofan personally led the vanguard army deep into the interior, he knew that the battle had been won.
In the Daqian Army, there was only one miscellaneous general, Chen Tian, who was not even on the list of divine generals.
He was not bragging, a general of this caliber could be defeated with just a little trick.
There will definitely be enough time to defeat these 100,000 soldiers and then deal with Lin Xiaofan.
But he didn't expect that in the past month, he had exposed his weakness four times, but Chen Tian didn't dare to advance. Every time he realized something was wrong, he would start to retreat.
Not only that, Chen Tianzhen has taken the term "steady and steady" to the extreme.
After arriving, they rested for seven days and built fortifications. And at all times, they never let down their guard and defense.
For more than a month, there was no chance to show off.
He also sent a small group of troops to test the enemy's strength.
The result was that the opponent's defense was impregnable.
If he attacks by force, he can win with his wisdom, but at least half of his 100,000 soldiers will be lost.
If word got out that he had fought a war with a second-rate general and won a miserable victory in the end, he would have lost all face.
Just when he was at a loss, Chen Tian finally revealed a flaw yesterday.
It cannot be said that Chen Tian revealed a flaw, but only that one of Chen Tian's subordinates revealed a flaw.
He attacked the city rashly and died on the city wall. The army under him was immediately without a leader and was overwhelmed by him.
He was overjoyed, and a hundred thousand troops rushed out all at once, intending to crush the enemy while their morale was weak.
But who knew that this was a flaw that the opponent deliberately gave him.
As the army caught up, thunder bombs exploded, crossbows came from the flanks, followed by cavalry attacks and infantry charges.
After all this, if it were an ordinary general, an army of 100,000 would have been defeated.
Fortunately, he commanded the army properly, so only more than 20,000 people died.
But this also brought the casualty ratio to 2 to 1.
