The military regulations and military discipline of the local army are also copied from the regular army, and different models are not adopted because of different combat effectiveness.

In the current situation encountered by the 4th Division, the method of a large group is usually adopted, with the formation of large troops unchanged and the small troops clearing roadblocks, but there is another article in the military regulations:

When it is dark, the forest is not enough, and if you have no choice, you will search the forest and move forward.

Wei Lunhui has led this unit to train for half a year, and he has already established his prestige, so naturally no one dares to disobey his orders.

The first brigade immediately dispersed and went forward together to clear the barricades; the second brigade also moved forward slowly, ready to help at any time; the third brigade also leaned forward and specially divided a squadron into the woods to search.

However, as soon as a large group moved down a few layers of trees, a scream came from the woods, and the three teams of people and horses in charge of the search hurriedly ran out, followed by a row of crossbow arrows, and the soldiers who were moving things turned into live targets.

Beep beep, "Enemy attack!" "There are people in the woods!" "Build a shield wall!" "Quick, the second and third squadrons will enter the forest and kill the enemy!"

The vanguard was in a panic, the first brigade looked for a place to hide, the second brigade entered a defensive state, and only the three captains gave the order to attack.

Some people ran out of the woods and some rushed into the woods, and the crossbow arrows kept being fired, but the archers of the 4th Division could not find the target of the attack, so they had to blindly release the arrows.

It was evening, and the sun had not completely set, but the forest was on the west side of the avenue, just blocking the sun's rays, and the 1st Special Operations Battalion had already chosen an attack position to attack the local army in the most tricky position.

The fourth platoon commander turned his head and asked Dou Xiaocai, who came to supervise the battle: "Battalion commander, how do you know that the enemy will scatter the ranks?"

"Nonsense! If they go into the forest to search, they will naturally have a platoon to deal with it, and let your kid pick up the bargain today. "Where is Dou Xiao's riding, it's just to prepare several coping plans, and there is always one that can come in handy.

He did not expect a division to pounce on at once, but the preparation of the platoon was not in vain, and the enemy who entered the forest to search was attacked head-on, and was driven out before he could gain a firm foothold.

The special operations battalion is not just infantry or crossbowmen, they are all-arms troops, and they know some archer skills, so they have planted a lot of traps in the woods.

The local army that entered the woods one after another suffered a great crime, not only was there a crossbow arrow attack in front of them, there were all kinds of pits under their feet, and the big trees on their heads would also fall nets, spikes, and other items, and a tree trunk would suddenly hit the left and right, which was simply impossible to prevent.

On the contrary, the soldiers who cleared the barricades used the scattered trees as cover, gradually reducing the casualties, and the shield bearers rushed from behind, and the captain began to organize the battle formation.

"What? There is really an enemy in the woods! How many soldiers and horses are there?" Wei Lunhui was shocked, sat down and kept retreating, and the two personal soldiers used the strength of the milk to pull it.

"It is not known for sure, judging by the density of the enemy's crossbow arrows, there are about two or three hundred people. ”

"Two or three hundred?" Wei Lunhui's heart came up, "The front is so chaotic that two or three hundred people are making trouble? Spread my generals, order the first and second brigades to counterattack on the spot, the third brigade and the fourth brigade will go into the woods to destroy the enemy army, and the rest will build a defensive position on the avenue." ”

This series of orders was decent and in line with the method of dealing with it written in the military book, but he did not take into account the battlefield environment, and mobilized 4,000 people at once, how could such a small space be moved?

The order was passed to the front, and the first and second brigades were crowded together.

They all wanted to fight back on the spot, but the enemy in front of them only had four rows of special operations, and the hiding place was only a few hundred square meters, and the crossbow arrows shot were still tricky and sharp, and the frontal battlefield could not accommodate 2,000 people.

The three brigades were a little calmer, and had already sent two squadrons into the forest, and after receiving the order, they only needed to send additional troops and horses. However, the enemy they faced was a special operations platoon, and the forest area in that area was full of traps, and the troops who entered the forest suffered heavy casualties, and more people ran out than entered.

The four brigades could only stare dryly, there was no place for them in front of them, and they wanted to bypass the battlefield, but there were fireworks in the woods, just blocking their march.

"My lord, this is the enemy's preset ambush battlefield, if you fight hard, I'm afraid it will be bad for our army, it's better to withdraw from the woods first, and then put your soldiers and horses in order before entering the forest to fight. "The staff officers found the situation to be extremely bad.

Don't look at the enemy in the woods, it seems that there are not many people, but the crossbow arrows are very accurate, almost every arrow can kill and injure a local army, and the 123rd Brigade is beaten so that it can't raise its head.

"Can't you solve it with just a few people?" Wei Lunhui was also observing the battle situation, and he didn't have much confidence in saying this.

Just as he hesitated, Li Jingxian's herald came from the rear, "General Li ordered, what happened ahead? The 4th Division can quickly pass through the forest area ahead?"

Wei Lunhui secretly scolded in his heart: Made, if you don't come sooner or later, my troops just fell into a bitter battle and came to ask, did Li Jing install a spy on me first?

The staff officer replied on his behalf: "The road ahead is blocked, and an unknown number of enemies have been found in the woods, and you can see the fireworks, please go back and report to Commander Li, our unit is attacking the forest area with all its might, and strive to open the road as soon as possible." ”

It is impossible to retreat now, otherwise he will be accused of being afraid of battle, and Wei Lunhui has to urge the troops in front to step up their attacks.

"Oh no! The smoke is blowing towards us. ”

The fire in the forest was getting bigger and bigger, and because there was more wet wood, the smoke was particularly large and choking, and the magicians of the special operations camp cast a spell to blow the smoke towards the enemy's flag.

"The military mage is coming to protect the general. "The staff officer was thinking about sending a magician to assist in the battle, but now he can't take care of the front, so he hurriedly transferred to protect Wei Lunhui and himself.

"Sizzle, two or three hundred enemies are also equipped with magicians?" Wei Lunhui could see that the smoke was not blown by natural winds.

"I'm afraid there are a large number of enemy troops in ambush in the woods, and my subordinates have never heard of a small army of rebels accompanied by a magician, unless!" the staff officer suddenly covered his mouth in horror.

Wei Lunhui hurriedly asked, "Unless what?"

"Unless it is, yes, it's Ding Kui!"

Bang, Wei Lunhui's hands trembled in fright, and the telescope fell to the ground.

"Withdraw! Get out of the woods!"

Ding Kui came there in person and paid it back? Either surrender or flee, this battle cannot be fought.

"Kill! Don't let the enemy run away!"

As soon as the 4th Division retreated, the woods suddenly boiled, gongs and drums resounded in the sky, and countless flags surged in the forest, as if a large number of men and horses were ready to rush out.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Wei Lunhui frantically whipped his mount, ignoring the soldiers and horses in front of him, to escape from this place as soon as possible.

If the commander is still like this, how brave can the officers and men below be? Nearly 10,000 horses galloped wildly, causing confusion on their backs.

"The enemy general is gone, take your life!" a big man wielding a double hammer rushed out of the woods, followed by dozens of strong soldiers, intercepting the hundreds of local troops that fell behind.

Dou Xiao rode and shouted, but he didn't really go to Wei Lunhui to trouble, and after finishing the backward enemy, he turned around and went into the forest.

"Hahaha, the battalion commander is extremely brave! The brothers of the first battalion followed the battalion commander to defeat a division!" The fourth platoon commander happily ran over to pick up Dou Xiao's horse.

Everyone applauded.

"Don't talk nonsense! Pack up and let's go back to the city. "Dou Xiaoqi was not carried away by the victory.

This ambush in the dense forest only killed and wounded more than 1,000 local troops, and the enemy's main force is still there, and when the enemy comes to his senses and continues to fight, the first battalion may not be able to take much advantage.

Li Jingxian was stunned and watched the 4th Division running over in a hurry, and asked, "What happened to the 4th Division? Where is the enemy?"

The vanguard of the 3rd Division immediately turned into a circular formation, and an officer commanded his subordinates and shouted: "Stop! Those who rush into the formation will be killed!"

The men and horses of the 4th Division began to stop, but Wei Lunhui didn't care so much, and still rushed towards the flag of the 3rd Division.

The officers below dared to stop the ordinary soldiers, but they did not dare to stop the commander of the 4th Division, and let him rush in front of Li Jingxian.

"General Wei, what's wrong?" Li Jingxian motioned for his own soldiers to grab Wei Lunhui's reins.

Wei Lunhui looked at the front and back, took a breath, and said, "Whew, the enemy chief Ding Kui is here!"

Li Jingxian opened his mouth wide in shock, "Ah! Ding Kui is in ambush in the forest area ahead?" he hurriedly looked up.

The master knight Ding Kuiye, chasing and killing the enemy will definitely fly into the sky.

But there was no shadow in the sky, not even a bird.

Li Jingxian asked: "Have you seen Ding Kui with your own eyes?" His reaction was much calmer than Wei Lunhui's, not that he was not afraid of Ding Kui, but that he knew that he couldn't run away, so it was better to fight to the death.

If Ding Kui saw this situation, he would definitely cry and laugh, his reputation could be used as a tactic by his subordinates.

"Ugh. Wei Lunhui looked back and again, "Not this one." ”

Then the magicians of the 4th Division flew over one after another, and upon inquiry, they all said that they had not seen the Juggernaut Knight.

"The order, the first and second brigades are equipped with more shields, enter the forest to search, and return the report if they encounter a strong enemy. ”

After all, Li Jingxian has combat experience, what kind of environment is suitable for what kind of large-scale battle?

The forest area in front can hide 10,000 people, and the two sides on the frontal battlefield can put in about 1,000 people at most, and send two brigades to attack, retreat and defend, so as not to be eaten by the enemy.

"Commander Yu Li, I'll go and rectify the 4th Division first. Wei Lunhui reacted at this time to gather his subordinates.

Li Jingxian waved his hand with a dark face, feeling dissatisfied and inconvenient.

At this time, he had already seen that there were no pursuers behind the 4th Division, and if Ding Kui was really ambushed in the woods, how could they be allowed to run back? At the very least, Wei Lunhui would have to be captured alive.

After Wei Lunhui gathered his soldiers and horses and counted the number of people, the scouts of the 3rd Division came back and reported: "No enemy was found in the woods, the road was indeed blocked, and the 1st and 2nd Brigades were clearing the barricades. ”

Li Jing stared at Wei Lunhui first: "You have to write a detailed battle report on this matter, and I will immediately forward it to the commander and ask him to decide." ”

Wei Lunhui was ashamed and angry, and said, "Just write, I'm afraid you won't make it?"

"Hehe, according to military regulations, I can only temporarily deprive you of your command, and the 4th Division will be managed by me first. ”

"You dare!"
