Two thousand white horse troops were dispatched together, running thousands of miles across the vast desert in two days and one night. If not all the war horses had the blood of monsters and the troops carried a large amount of supplies, they might not have reached their destination. , the war horses were all exhausted.
In the end, the army stopped behind a sand dune, and there was a large oasis dozens of miles away. Intelligence showed that an army from the Gilt Kingdom had just experienced a battle with the Yunxiao Kingdom during the day, and withdrew back here in the evening. .
"Nima, you lead the scout team to investigate the information about the oasis! Be careful to stay hidden!"
"Vice-General Qi, Vice-General Wu, and three commanders, Li, Song, and Liu, will work with me to set up battle formations. In a moment we will lure the snakes out of their holes and ambush them!"
Huo Baima immediately gave the order, and everyone followed suit.
They don't need to take the initiative to attack the oasis. There aren't many requirements in terms of intelligence. They just need to roughly determine the number of people on the other side.
Therefore, only a small team composed of Nima and some elite scouts were sent, while Qi Ying stayed to help command and dispatch the White Horse Army, so there was no need to go out to investigate in person.
The White Horse Army soon became busy, burying crossbows under the desert, setting up sky-cutting crossbows, spiritual crystal cannons and army-killing cannons in advance, and arranging shielding formations to conceal the aura and appearance of the army. Soon a dark curtain enveloped the White Horse Army. In the surrounding area, two thousand people could not show a single shadow at night.
The shielding array is somewhat similar to the combination of Qi Ying's stealth technique and stealth cloak, but it is created by relying on the magical inscription array. The array master draws the inscriptions and array diagrams in advance to create the array. The engineers in the army are They can be deployed quickly on the battlefield.
Huo Baima is very satisfied. Now the Baima Army can quickly lay an ambush according to his orders. It is the result of many days of military training. Whoever says that he can only talk on paper in the future, let them see the ambush trap he has laid. It is like a dragnet. , whoever rushes in will have to enjoy the turn of crossbows, sky-cutting crossbows, armor-piercing arrows, spiritual crystal cannons, and army-killing cannons. The middle-level warriors in the Earth Martial Realm will peel off their skin when they come in.
Of course, the layout of the trap was based on Qi Ying's ideas. Ambushing the enemy is just like ambushing prey. It requires patience. It doesn't matter how powerful the ambush is. The best way is to disrupt the opponent as much as possible.
Therefore, Huo Baima gave up the idea of setting up five army-killing cannons and firing them head-on.
after awhile.
Nima came back with the scout team: "Report to the Marshal, after investigation, the opponent only has more than a thousand troops! I don't know which group of troops they are, but their strength is average!"
"More than a thousand, how is that possible?" Huo Baima was surprised. The more than 2,000 people in the White Horse Army have already been streamlined. Some young men in the new army have gone crazy and expanded the army to four or five thousand. There are only a few people in the Gilded Kingdom. But an army of one thousand people is still too small in comparison.
This is not the training period a month ago.
"Qi Yun, go and investigate!"
Huo Baima was not at ease with Nima's report and ordered Qi Ying to go out in person to investigate.
"Um!"
Qi Yun immediately disappeared into the darkness. With a little bit of spiritual power, he quickly sneaked into the oasis. As expected, he only found more than a thousand troops, setting up camp and making fires to cook. There were dozens of corpses of huge monsters on the ground.
Qi Ying didn't see anything unusual, so he quickly returned to the White Horse Army: "There are indeed only more than a thousand troops, and they seem to be exhausted!"
"Okay!" Huo Baima was overjoyed, "Commander Li, lead three hundred sergeants, pretend to be scouts and enter the oasis, and lure those people over!"
"The general is willing to follow!"
Qi Ying took the initiative to ask for help.
"allow!"
Huo Baima waved his hand, and Qi Ying immediately followed Li Jinyan and led 300 troops into the oasis again.
When they arrived at the oasis, the White Horse Army first exposed a few scouts to attract the attention of the other side's scouts. Then all three hundred men and horses were discovered, and there was a sudden burst of excitement in the oasis.
"A thousand people are chasing us? Let's go!"
Li Jinyan immediately retreated quickly with three hundred white horse troops, leading the enemies behind him to where he had set up an ambush, and quickly rushed out of the oasis, closely followed by more than a thousand troops covered in black armor and riding black horses.
"Don't leave!"
A strong man in the Earth Martial Realm took the lead, flying in the air towards the three hundred white horse army. Li Jinyan slashed his sword in the air, and the three hundred white horse army fired a round of armor-piercing arrows before forcing him back.
"Something's wrong..."
Qi Ying realized that something was wrong. Logically speaking, a force of a thousand people would not go out in full force to chase a small force of a few hundred people. Let alone an ambush, if they encountered more troops outside, they would definitely die. .
But the other party has already caught up, so let’s just take one step at a time!
Da Da Da!
Buzz!
The two armies moved in tandem, and soon chased for dozens of miles. The three hundred white-horse army rode war horses with extremely strong blood of monsters or simply monster horses, and they were always more than a hundred ahead of the army behind them. Zhang Zhang, took the lead through the area where the army had previously set up an ambush.
"kill!"
"Come on!"
Thousands of troops from the Gilded Kingdom followed closely and followed the route of the White Horse Army to the ambush area.
The White Horse Army was able to pass through unharmed, but they were definitely not going to be able to survive. Just hearing a loud blast of cannons, the scouts lurking in the sand launched the spiritual crystal cannon, and a ball of light flew out from the sand layer and fell directly onto the gilded land. In the military formation of the kingdom's thousands of troops, dozens of war horses were instantly knocked over, and dozens of riders were thrown overboard.
Bang!
Boom bang bang!
There was not just one spiritual crystal cannon in the ambush, but more than ten. After the first cannon was fired, they all came out and immediately smashed the Gilded Kingdom's formation into pieces, completely falling apart. Although there was no Caused casualties, but completely fixed their actions here!
"Crossbow launch!"
call out!
Dozens of crossbows emerged from under the sand. Dozens of sergeants held the crossbows and fired randomly at a thousand gilded kingdom troops. The sharp armor-piercing arrows flew hundreds of feet and could penetrate the hard armor. Penetrating the flesh and blood of the warrior.
The horizontal crossbow arrows caused more damage than the spiritual crystal cannon. The Earth Martial Realm expert who led the army immediately asked the Ling Martial Realm sergeants to abandon their horses and fly out from here.
but.
Once in the air, they all became living targets!
Bang!
Boom boom!
The three army-killing cannons each fired a shot into the air, and the Sky-breaking Crossbow continued to fire armor-piercing arrows, killing a small number of flying Spiritual Martial Realm soldiers in an instant.
At this time.
"kill!"
"shoot!"
Two thousand white-horse troops rushed out of the shielding formation, and each of them pulled up the iron bow in their hands, using their spiritual power or true energy to launch armor-piercing arrows into the sky.
Arrows fell like a rain of locusts, and the entire army of the Gilded Kingdom was wiped out in the blink of an eye.
After two rounds of arrow rain, Song Tianxing shouted and led his army to rush over to clear out the remaining soldiers, who numbered only three to four hundred. With one blow of his ax, he killed the Earth Martial Realm expert on the opposite side who had been shot with armor-piercing arrows. Qi Ying drilled in Among the crowd, they kept flashing out of the darkness, harvesting the lives of the remaining soldiers.
