Chapter 926: Strategize and Destroy the Enemy by Talking and Laughing
Bran's archers harassed him as usual, and the Gray Army soldiers pursued him wildly and uncharacteristically...
Well, this is still the planned trajectory.
After the initial surprise, Bran's bow rider calmed down, and his wild teasing laughter echoed throughout the wilderness. Although the current situation of the Gray Clothes Army is different from the huddled state of the past few days, it was not that the Bran Archers had not been chased by the Gray Clothes Army a long time ago, and the result was——
Obvious! Two legs cannot outrun four legs, and the killing distance of a spear and a broadsword will never be comparable to that of a curved-arm longbow. So as long as you pay attention not to be surrounded, or as long as you successfully break out of the encirclement just before the encirclement, the chasing mob behind you will only be teased.
that is it!
In fact, the early pursuit situation was progressing perfectly towards the scene expected by Bran Archer. In the boundless wilderness, the dozen or so gray-clothed army squads scattered around seemed so small, like ants. Although they were trying hard to pursue and encircle them, their footprints almost covered the entire wilderness. In front of them, their efforts seemed so clumsy and weak!
It should be said that in the current situation that has become a mess, it is indeed a good idea to fish in troubled waters. But that also depends on the strength configuration of both sides. In fact, Bran's archers with war horses are obviously more suitable for such a battlefield than the Gray Army soldiers, and it is easier to fish in troubled waters... Whoosh——
The arrows whizzed, accurately shot into the crowd, and finally stuck in the thigh of a gray-clothed soldier. Although the fatal arrows that followed were blocked by the shield beside the injured soldier, Bran, who drew back his bow and retreated, still had a smile on his face and casually drew it across his neck, making a death gesture.
"Haha... hide and hide. A pariah is a pariah!"
"Oh. You missed..."
"There's always...a bet every once in a while? A month's pay for the soldiers. Let's compare the number of people we can kill."
"Haha, since you insist on giving me money...then come on!"
"It's settled, look at my arrow! Hit--"
…
The atmosphere of the battlefield couldn't be more relaxing. It can even be said that it is not a battlefield, but a hunting ground. In the eyes of the current Archer Bran, the Gray Army soldiers who were tired of chasing behind them were like prey, such as hares and deer, which had no lethality anyway.
certainly. These teasing and provocative verbal attitudes can also be seen as a strategy. Tease the anger of the prey in the rear and stimulate them to continue the pursuit, so that they can continue to harvest heads and accumulate military exploits.
Killing two birds with one stone, right?
However, just when the two Bran bow riders were a little too relaxed and started competing to kill the number of people, suddenly, bang...a faint muffled sound exploded from the sky. Subconsciously, I looked up and saw the sky to the west of the battlefield. A green light exploded straight away, and the sparkle disappeared. Then a large piece of green smoke slowly dispersed, and some pattern seemed to appear in it, but it was not clear because of the white background sky. Signal arrow?
They are all characters who hang out on the battlefield. Naturally, they all know what the effect is produced by the thing in front of them, and they also know what the function of this thing is.
When Bran's horsemen saw this, they couldn't help but were stunned. They had some bad thoughts, but they quickly lowered their heads and looked around. There was no change on the battlefield. The scattered gray-clothed army was still chasing after them. , there are no enemy soldiers surrounding them like a tide...
Everything is business as usual.
Are you trying to scare people?
Just when there were about a thousand scattered Bran archers in confusion, a team of gray-clothed troops on the north side of the battlefield looked up at the green smoke in the sky, and their feet could not help but slow down.
"It's green? Does it mean us? There are quite a few words."
"Captain, it's green."
"How many times did it ring just now?"
"A sound! It must be a sound! I've been paying attention."
"One east, two west, three south, four north...quickly, turn around, turn around, go to the east..."...
The incomprehensible dialogue was like a code word, and I believe no one except them knew what it meant. No Bran Archer noticed this scene, of course, even if they did, they wouldn't care. After all, in this chaotic battlefield, it is normal for a team to suddenly turn and march, and it is really nothing worth paying attention to.
However, this signal arrow seemed to officially kick off something. After just a few breaths, the dazzling green smoke in the sky was quickly blown away by the biting cold wind, and suddenly,
Bang bang, a double sound in a row, and a large piece of yellow smoke exploded.
After a pause, bang bang bang, there were three more explosions. This time, red smoke spread.
Bang bang bang bang...
Green, yellow, red, blue, purple... In just a short moment, the sky was like a drawing board in the hands of an impressionist painter. Various colors took turns to appear, and the scene was spectacular.
Although the place was bustling with excitement, the Bran Archers in the wilderness were very confused. Out of their keen intuition, which was often on the edge of death, they subconsciously noticed that something was wrong, but they could not find out what was wrong.
Perhaps thanks to the people who sent signal arrows under the sky and the slowly advancing Chinese army, they could realize what was wrong. The difference is that the former is the planner, while the latter only knows a little about the methods and is currently verifying it with his own eyes...
"coming!"
When the first signal arrow exploded in the air, Frey and other senior generals in the Chinese Army suddenly became energetic. They straightened their bodies, either left or right, and subconsciously looked at the battlefield.
This serious move does not mean that they are very confident in this operation. In fact, they are not optimistic about it because they have failed many times before. But after all, it was Josiah who was personally commanding this time, so he still had to give him face.
"The green...Army Corps of Lancers...is there!"
"Yellow...Second Army Shield Troops Brigade, here!"
"The red...three-armed sword regiment...huh? Are they all in that area?"
Knowing that the scattered pursuit teams had been given color codes in advance, Frey and others found the corresponding troops in an instant. Corresponding to the color change in the sky, after just watching it for a short while, I was shocked to find that the troops to which the color belonged were all within a small area.
Realizing something, Frey's body suddenly shook, "This is..." Before he could finish his words, the battle situation in that area suddenly changed drastically! With the teams belonging to the three colors, they advance or retreat seemingly irregularly. A small-scale triangular cage quickly took shape under the eyes of everyone. And locked in the center of the cage. It was more than a hundred Bran bow riders who tightened the reins of their horses and looked around blankly. It was obvious that they did not know when they were suddenly surrounded...
There is no space for the horse to accelerate and charge, and there is no shooting range to maximize the advantage of the arrow. No matter how elite the cavalry archer brigade is, it can't compare to an inconspicuous infantry brigade. Not to mention that the combat effectiveness of the Gray Army soldiers is still very good, not to mention that they are now under siege...
There is no doubt that from the moment the triangular cage was formed, the fate of these hundreds of horse archers was determined!
"Did it happen by chance?" Jian Zhang, a senior general of the Gray Army, was stunned. Subconsciously asked, "Isn't it... really the leader's command to do it? It's a lot of words." Turning his head, Frey and others were silent.
In a daze, the signal arrows in the sky continued to explode.
The invisible hands that changed the planned trajectory appeared at the end of the road, and finally popped out the sharp blade armor at this moment!
Without any pause, one color spread after another, rendering the monotonous and bleak sky. In the wilderness below, more than a dozen chasing teams showed no signs of scattering. At this time, they were like puppets pulled by silk threads. Don't even have to think, just watch the signal arrow move in the sky. Comply with the instructions completely, and you will be able to fulfill your long-cherished wish in a daze, simply swat the annoying Bran bow rider like a fly...
This strange scene may be most accurately described by the words of a senior general of the Gray Army who subconsciously murmured, "Is this... really treating commanding operations as a chess game..."
Not without resistance. At present, the more than a thousand Bran horse archers are executing pure harassment tactics. This tactic is very adaptable, and the horse archers themselves also have a high degree of freedom. So the so-called supreme commander is actually the captain of each archer. The moment the first cavalry archer brigade was surrounded, the remaining cavalry archers Captain Bran realized something was wrong. Without much hesitation, there was no time to hesitate on the battlefield, and each of them quickly took countermeasures.
Bran, who is closer, rides on his bows and cavalry to rescue them, while those who are further away, drag down the troops in front of them. There were also some horse archers who directly turned around and rushed towards the outskirts of the wilderness - of course not escaping, but killing towards the high hill where the signal arrows were fired.
Bran's reaction was not unpleasant, but unfortunately, it was all in vain... It was as if he had been seen through by the figure hidden behind the invisible hands, and the rescuer rushed to the triangle cage without waiting. The way forward was blocked by a team. Naturally, it was impossible to fight head-on in this situation. The archer cavalry brigade immediately turned their horses and tried to bypass them, but they were still blocked by the gray-clothed troops who followed the color instructions. Change direction again, still the same. If they change again... well, they have no room to change direction again. Because, they who came to rescue were also locked in the center of a triangular cage!
Other Bran archers who tried to delay or capture the king had similar experiences. The only difference was that they were only blocked and not surrounded. However, the situation has evolved to this point, and even the stupidest people know that they are being plotted. Soon, seeing that the situation was not good, Bran's bow cavalry turned his horse's head towards the outside. This time, he really wanted to escape.
But it is also a pity that opportunities are always fleeting. Although they were already deep into the wilderness, if they had chosen to break out immediately when the first signal arrow exploded, they might not be able to escape with the advantage of their horses. But because he didn't pay attention, when he reacted, the layout inside and outside the battlefield had already taken shape, becoming a desperate situation!
Lieutenant General Frey and others, who stood aside like bystanders, saw it most clearly and were also the most horrified. Those constantly moving brigades of grey-coated soldiers were like high movable walls, dividing the seemingly huge wilderness into small areas, completely blocking the possibility of a breakout by Bran's bow cavalry who was trapped deep inside.
Not only that, but there was another point that Frey and the others didn't notice. That is, if you look down from a high place, their central army is the largest wall cutting off the wilderness!
Everything is under control! Take advantage of everything!
If we use an analogy, this vast wilderness is a chessboard, and Bran's archers and more than ten gray-clothed troops, including the Chinese army, are all chess pieces. As for the chess players... there is only one side, and only one person. This is not about bullying the opponent's lack of chess players, but that no one in the opponent's camp is qualified to become another chess player in the game!
but,
In the high mountains and hills, the only chess player, Lansha, did not feel any tension in the game. He looked around with a telescope and reported various numbers at will. He seemed to be strategizing and destroying the enemy with ease and ease.
It must be stated that Lansha's relaxed demeanor was not an act. It's really easy. Very enjoyable.
You must know that she was commanding the battle in the Northern Wilderness Army. No matter how small the battle is, it won't be easy. Because those simple-minded subordinates must ask her to consider all factors and issue the most detailed and complete military orders in order to ensure that accidents will be minimized. Unlike the gray-clothed soldier at the moment, he only needed a simple command and could complete it to the letter. It really made Lan Sha, as the commander, very relaxed and satisfied... This is the so-called principle of comparing people to death and comparing goods to goods.
While Lansha was relaxed, the people on the mountaintop were naturally even more relaxed...
"What the hell, it really feels like a Chinese New Year!" Tang En looked away from the colorful sky, looking away and couldn't help but sigh. Of course, the Chinese New Year here does not refer to other worlds. On the Western Ze continent, whether it is Bran or Beihuang, there is no custom of setting off fireworks during the festival. Only the current world in Tang En's mind had such a lively scene.
Looking behind him, he saw that the signal arrows at the feet of David and others were decreasing, and there were not many left. This certainly couldn't be a mistake in preparation. In fact, all factors are taken into consideration by Lansha. Also included is the approximate number of signal arrows. So there is not much left, which can only represent the number of Bran's bow riders below, and there is not much left...
Taking a step forward to the mountainside, facing the biting cold wind, Tang En only glanced briefly. Even someone who did not understand military command like him knew that these Bran bow riders were finished. The difference was only the length of struggle.
Obviously, Lan Sha has successfully proved his strength this time and reached the prerequisites for cooperation... He touched his nose and looked at Josiah, who was holding his arms on his shoulders. The latter's face was expressionless, silently watching the battle below, silent.
After thinking about it, Tang En came closer and said, "Don't think too much, and don't compare with this pervert. It's unnecessary. Moreover, in other aspects, you are no worse than her, and are even much better."
After hearing this, Joshua paused, but did not refute Tang En's obvious thoughts. He pursed his lips, turned around and said with a smile: "What aspects?"
"kindness?"
"In what ways am I better than her?"
"Uh...sight? Haha, you're kidding." Tang En smiled and gently hugged Josiah, who glared at him, and said, "At least she can't lead the Gray Army, nor can she be the leader of the Gray Army."
Joshua thought for a while and shook his head: "Who knows, she hasn't tried it, maybe she can do better than me."
"Haha, I don't mean what I said. You are the only one who can be the leader of a unique group like the Gray Army. Anyone else will be in vain."
"That's right, I am His Royal Highness, so I may not like the Gray Army." He smiled and deliberately misinterpreted Tang En's meaning. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the battlefield, then suddenly raised his finger and pointed somewhere, "Go and ask for me. Wait...what's going on with that swordsman group? She commanded the other units flawlessly, so why did she make frequent mistakes with that swordsman group, and now she doesn't care...with the level of tactical command she's showing now , which is a bit unexplainable.”
"Have it?". Tang En was stunned when he heard this, looked in the direction that Joshua pointed, and squinted his eyes... Naturally, he couldn't see anything. If Josiah's tactical level is average, he has received formal training at least. Tang En is not even considered a wild man. He can escape from the current Lansha layout, but it is impossible to set up such a battle.
Turning around, he simply asked, "Lansha, what's going on with that swordsman brigade?"
Lan Sha put down the telescope, first said a few numbers to David and others behind him, then turned around, instead of answering the question directly, he frowned and looked at Josiah, "You don't know? Well, that's right, you're not Such a person. Even if he doesn't like me and wants to make trouble, he can't make fun of the lives of soldiers. What's more, just this team can't do any damage..."
"What do you mean?" Joshua frowned immediately after hearing this.
Waving his hand, "It's nothing. I have sent signal arrows to direct this swordsman group several times, but the command cannot move. On the contrary, when I sent other signal arrows, it moved inexplicably, and it was a mess..." Lansha also frowned in confusion, " I'm also a little surprised. Logically speaking, they don't know my identity, let alone that I am commanding this battle. There shouldn't be a situation where there is a backlash..."...
"You said they didn't obey military orders?" Josiah was stunned. This was indeed not her fault. Just as Lan Sha said, there was no way she would make fun of the lives of the Gray Army soldiers on the battlefield.
Tang En was also startled when he heard this. There wasn't much intrigue among the gray-clothed army. Especially for the leader Josiah, everyone in the Gray Army respected him so much that there was no chance of him disobeying his orders.
"Don't believe it? Let me try it for you." Shrugging, Lansha waved his hand back, "Seven, two!"
The so-called seven refers to the seventh gray space member from left to right, and the two refers to lighting two signal arrows. Soon, two signal arrows exploded in the air, shining bright purple light.
Sure enough, the swordsmen group in sight that was supposed to move westward still stopped in place without any movement.
Lansha spread his hands to indicate that this was the situation.
Joshua's expression suddenly darkened, and he was a little confused. She didn't know what was going on, because this was the first time she had encountered this kind of situation where she didn't even obey her orders after becoming the leader of the Gray Army.
Tang En, on the other hand, seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly became strange: "Um, do you still remember what color of signal arrows were fired before? This group of swordsmen will move randomly?"
Lan Sha thought for a while and said, "It should be blue, what's wrong?"
"Send it again...without affecting the original blue team."
Lansha didn't understand when he heard this, but he still picked up the telescope and looked at it, and said: "Nine, three!"
Bang bang bang, three blue rays of light exploded in the air. Immediately, in the eyes of the three people, who were either stunned or stunned, the two teams belonging to the blue and the purple teams moved at the same time, moving quickly towards the south.
"this……"
"Alas..." Facing the doubtful glances of Joshua and Lansha, Tang En sighed softly and helplessly spread his hands, "Don't you know what color blindness is?".
