Heaven's Formula

This town is also the only way to go to Baihe City from west to east. Because it is close to the border, the evacuation had been organized as early as two weeks ago. The local residents basically evacuated into Baihe City, and now no one lives there.Because of this, the branch troops of the Privy Council did not station in the suburbs, but directly entered the town to camp.

According to previous investigation feedback, the number of this army is about [-], mainly composed of the garrisons of Su and Lingzhou. It has become two parts, the north and the south, and each has an independent sentinel and watchtower.

And all these details were seen by the owl demon.

"You mean, the defense in the north is weaker?" Ning Wanjun confirmed the last information before the battle.

"Returning to Your Highness, I saw that there were not many tents set up in the north. Many soldiers directly entered the houses, and some people fought for the houses." Wulie chose his words carefully to avoid any mistakes in his words, "but There are much more tents in the south, and they are basically concentrated in the open area, and there are a lot of buckets around, which looks more orderly."

A month ago, he was still a little demon that no one cared about, running around all day long for the survival of himself and his sister. Unexpectedly, a month later, he became a scout of the Jinxia Army, and the information he provided guided the actions of tens of thousands of people. The change in identity is so huge that he didn't even dare to think about it before.

It is impossible to say that there is no pressure.

Even now, standing in front of Her Royal Highness, he would feel shortness of breath and stiff hands and feet—although Qiongqi was powerful, it was only for the demon group.The woman in front of her is different, she is the real royal family, even Qingjian Yuyi, who dare not even look straight at the demon, will obey her orders.It is impossible not to feel the slightest fear in the face of such a superior person.

However, when he thought that Mr. Li offered a high salary of 50 taels a month for this job, and his younger sister Wu Qi could eat seafood and rice every day, Wu Lie still mustered unprecedented courage to agree, and has persisted until now.

Fortunately, although Her Highness the Princess is majestic, she is not strict. When confirming information, she mainly asks questions and does not set too high requirements for him. This makes him a layman who knows nothing about marching and fighting, and now he is gradually mastering it. Some reconnaissance skills, such as judging the enemy's situation and weaknesses from the camp layout.

"The bucket is to prevent sudden fires in the camp, and experienced generals will notice this when they set up camp." Qiuyue pondered, "But the camp in the north is not arranged in this way—considering that Lingzhou is humid all year round, there are fire prevention requirements. It’s really not high, but they are now in Shenzhou, and the climate is more similar to Suzhou, so they should follow the example of their colleagues. This shows that the communication between the generals of the two sides is not frequent, and it can even be said... that there is a gap between them.”

"It's normal to have a gap. Think about it, will we accept the command of Suzhou or Jinzhou when we are in Leizhou?" Ning Wanjun chuckled, "Xia Fan often said that one government should try to command the army instead of relying on generals Commanding based on personal fame probably took this kind of problem into consideration.”

Therefore, the army needs a more reasonable promotion system to ensure the vitality of the entire group—Xia Fan's conclusion was also agreed by the princess.However, due to the imminent war, this set of reform plans was arranged after defeating the Privy Council.

"Anyway, as long as it is what Lord Xia said, His Highness will not disagree." Qiuyue said that she has long been used to it. "In short, the enemy's arrangement has given us an excellent opportunity to attack. Their scouts are only We released ten miles, probably because we didn’t expect us to appear here suddenly.”

"That's right. In the eyes of General Fei, the Jinxia Army is probably still stationed around Baihe City." Ning Wanjun couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth.This is another point of her pride, that is, marching at night is no longer an unrealistic fantasy, but has become the norm of the Jinxia Army.

In the past, even the well-trained Leizhou frontier army could not conduct large-scale group operations at night.

If you want to attack at night, you must either set up an ambush in advance, or use an elite team of hundreds of people.Some people have even specially studied that the combat distance at night should not exceed ten miles, that is, the level at which torches can be seen at a glance.If any staff officer dared to propose a main force of tens of thousands of people to attack after nightfall, the commander would definitely hang him on the flagpole at the gate of the camp.

Because just marching can scatter the army.

Once the various troops are dispersed, it will be extremely difficult to gather them together.

This has nothing to do with training—even if there is more daily training, as long as people's vision cannot penetrate the night, and the supervising army cannot find the leavers in time, this problem cannot be solved.

What changed this situation was education.

Of course, it was Xia Fan who put forward this point of view—he asked the army not to devote all its energy to reclamation during the recuperation period, but to spend at least half of its time on learning how to read and write, even the old frontier soldiers were no exception .

Many people in the army expressed that this move was incomprehensible. They had practiced battles and killings all their lives, but they did not expect to have to follow the example of those scholars to start from the horizontal and vertical strokes.The school promotes universal education, and what they accept are dolls. The vast majority of people in the army are adults, and they usually call themselves big bosses. It's really hard to get them to use their brains.

In the end, Ning Wanjun relied on his own prestige to implement it. In less than half a year, this move had unexpected results.

After some people became able to read, the circulation of books and weekly newspapers in the army gradually increased.

More and more soldiers know how to consult maps and reports of past battles.

The conversations between the generals and the soldiers were obviously more frequent.

Especially in the battle against Shenzhou, every order in the army will be issued to the level of corporal commander, and the soldiers are no longer like in the past. When they follow the army, they don't know where they are going and what they will do. Task.If the marches in the past were followed blindly, now they will know the purpose of the trip, the strategic intentions above, and what they are going to do before they set off.

The threshold of the night march was crossed silently.

Each team will consciously confirm whether teammates are separated. Even if someone is left behind, they will know in their hearts where the army will converge, so as not to become stragglers aimlessly.

The eyes cannot see through the night, but the mind can penetrate the barrier. An army that knows its own combat purpose, even if it is not holding advanced weapons, has entered the threshold of a modern army.

As the commander, Ning Wanjun felt this change the most - she felt more and more that the Jinxia army seemed to be a flexible arm, as long as an idea appeared in her mind, this arm could achieve her goal for her.

"Let the people below prepare, and launch the attack as soon as the morning arrives." The princess made a decision, "I will personally lead the team to conquer the southern camp that is more strictly guarded."

Chapter 486 Night Battle

After the decision was made, the battle began immediately, and the army disintegrated into pieces, melting into the pitch-black earth like spring rain.

There were no torches to guide the way, and no whispers. Everyone hurried on the road in muffled voices. The only thing they could see was their teammates.

Captain Shi Zhong led a team of 200 people all the way to the north gate of Wangjiang Town.

"Wait for my password later, don't shoot blindly when attacking, pay attention to the position of your own people, and shoot after seeing clearly. Now pass on what I said."

"Yes."

Suddenly, there was a whisper of whispering in the rear.

After receiving the order, Xu Wa clenched the handle of the gun a little uneasy.

He was originally the eldest son of a peasant family in Baihe City. His family was oppressed by the government. Not only did he sell all the land at a low price, but he was almost reduced to selling himself into slavery because of the lack of food and clothing in winter.As a result, Princess Guangping fell from the sky, uprooted the government, and settled all debts incidentally.Even the few acres of land that had been sold at a low price were redistributed to the family, saying that as long as the Xu family continued to farm the land, they could always own it.Therefore, when news of recruiting soldiers appeared in Baihe City, Xu Wa signed up without hesitation.

In father's words, they have to spend their whole life to repay the kindness of Her Royal Highness the princess.

And there were quite a few Baihe people like him at that time.

After training and distribution, everyone dispersed to their respective teams.

This was Xu Wa's first time on the battlefield, and the opponent was the rumored Ten-State United Army. Naturally, she felt uneasy—not because of fear, but because she was worried about whether she could complete the task.

His determination to fight is unquestionable. The family has just ushered in a turning point when the princess comes down. Seeing that the future will get better and better, who can bear to go back to the past?Now that the Qiguo court wants to depose the princess, they will definitely not be allowed to do so.

The problem is that this army has a total of 3000 people, and the number of enemies stationed in Wangjiang Town is ten times that of our own. If there is no fight, wouldn't it not only harm the princess, but also disappoint the expectations of the family?

To be honest, participating in actual combat for the first time was completely different from what Xu Wa had imagined. He had also seen soldiers expelling refugees in the city, and the Shenzhou Army's way of suppressing bandits. Hehe.Even if Princess Guangping conquered Baihe City, there would still be an army behind her.

However, at this moment, all he could see were dozens of people.

This made Xu Wa even have the illusion that the other teams did not follow, and it was only the dozens of them who would really attack Wangjiang Town later.

Suddenly, he felt a cold on the tip of his nose.

I couldn't help but reach out and touch it, only to find that it was raining.

The rain was sparse at first, but quickly became denser.The captain's order never came, so everyone could only continue to lie on the spot and let the heavy rain pour on them.

There were still people talking in low voices in the team before, but now there are no speakers—because no one wants to be splashed with muddy water as soon as they open their mouths.

Xu Wa suddenly noticed that the fire in the direction of the town seemed to be much dimmer.

He rubbed his hazy eye sockets, tried his best to look towards the gate of the town, and found that it was not an illusion.There were still many soldiers stationed at the entrance of the street in Wangjiang Town, and they had already withdrawn. After the bonfire was extinguished, no one paid any attention to it, and the figures on the two temporary sentry towers also disappeared without a trace.

This small town has no city walls, so it looks empty in front of it, as if no one is guarding it.

At this moment, there was a roar of a dragon in the sky, and the dazzling electric light pierced the night sky, straight into the center of the town!

"Everyone, follow me to attack!" Almost at the same time, the captain also gave the order to attack.

Xu Wa got up from the wet ground, not caring about patting off the mud, and ran towards Wangjiang Town in a stumbling manner.

Then came several thunderclaps!

The moment the earth was illuminated, Xu Wa saw an unforgettable spectacle.

Countless figures appeared from the darkness, running towards the same direction as him. When the purple light dissipated, they would return to the night until the next lightning appeared.

He suddenly realized that those lightning bolts were not only destroying the enemy, but also illuminating their way forward.

The enemy never expected that an army would unknowingly touch the foot of the town, let alone that they would launch an attack against the heavy rain.

Operations at night are inherently disadvantageous to the attacking side, let alone rainy nights.The defensive side has fortifications to rely on, while the offensive side has nothing but to crawl in the mud with their feet.Even if the Jinxia had air rifles, the low visibility at night would diminish that advantage.

Therefore, when the enemy realized that something was wrong, it was too late to reorganize the defense line at the gate of the town.

Xu Wa and three other teammates were the first to enter the main street of the town. He remembered the officer's instructions and fired carefully, so he didn't even pull the trigger along the way.Even he himself couldn't believe that the seemingly heavily guarded north side could break through so easily.

It wasn't until about ten steps away from the tent on the street that someone came out of the tent with a knife and gun.

This can never be one of our own.

Xu Wa immediately raised the muzzle of her gun and fired three shots at the target. The latter screamed twice, curled up into a ball and fell down.

More enemy troops followed and poured out of the tent.

They simply squatted at the entrance of the tent and fired continuously into the tent, completely emptying the first gas tank.

The fallen enemies piled up before the camp.

The rest of the Jinxia troops who followed immediately followed suit, blocking the camp and firing.Even if someone ran out, they would no longer have the will to fight when they saw the densely packed figures under the electric light, and turned around in fright and fled.For such a person, everyone didn't bother to chase after them. Anyway, there was an attacking force on the opposite side, and it was the Xuanwu Army led by the princess herself. Even if thousands of people escaped, they would not be afraid.

The task they received was to eliminate as much of the enemy's combat power as possible in the north. In other words, the north and south battalions could be brought together, but they could not be allowed to flee to the countryside.

After occupying Main Street, the battle quickly turned into a house-by-house fight.

When most soldiers from the northern battalion noticed something was wrong, they didn't think of going out of the house to check the situation immediately, but blocked the door and guarded the house - but this was actually an illusion. The burst characteristics of air rifles are very suitable for narrow terrain On the contrary, ordinary weapons need to be in close quarters to achieve effective killing. In this process, they are often loaded with bullets, and it is impossible to form a tendency to fight more with less.

Suddenly, Xu Wa saw a group of people fighting with their own troops not far away.The fighting will of this team is obviously different from that of other soldiers. Although they were besieged in a house, they managed to break out of the siege several times in a short period of time and cut down many brothers.

"Come on, let's help!"

The apprehension of going to battle for the first time has disappeared, but the combat norms and combat tasks during training have come to mind more and more clearly.When Xu Wa and others arrived, people from other teams just took over the yard and blocked the enemy into the house.A small team was about to attack the gate, but a ground spike suddenly rushed up from the ground, piercing through the three people who were walking in the front.

Immediately someone shouted a warning, "Be careful, there are alchemists among the enemies!"

Chapter 487 Defeating the Enemy

It is precisely because of the alchemists that they dare to resist.

Realizing this, Xu Wa immediately aimed at the window on the second floor, "Let's climb in from upstairs!"

During daily training, they have been taught how to fight against the aura-infected people, who are also human beings who can be careless or panic.No one can do everything, even if they have extremely strong personal abilities, there are still blind spots on the side and behind.

The instructor also invited alchemists from the Bureau to demonstrate for them, such as taking out the wrong medicine when they were nervous, or being too focused on performing spells and forgetting the surrounding situation... As long as there are such courses, there will always be laughter in the camp. After all, people who were angry in the past were superior, and people like Xu Wa couldn't compare with it. It was undoubtedly a happy thing to see their funny appearance.

Most of the recruits didn't realize that it was this kind of training that bridged the gap between qi sensers and ordinary people. Their familiarity with warriors had surpassed most people in the world.

Therefore, when faced with this situation, Xu Wa's body reacted even faster than her brain - in the face of the sudden siege, the enemy was also in a panic. As long as they continued to increase the pressure of attack, they would definitely show their flaws.

He was obviously not the only one who planned to do so.

Several teams approached the house and climbed up to the eaves by stepping on their shoulders.Xu Wa failed to catch up with the leader. When he turned into the house, the enemy had already noticed the Jinxia soldiers who entered from the second floor, and they engaged in fire.

This time, they used real fire.

An alchemist was hiding on the side of the corridor, using the technique of leaving to block the window, and there were still many people crowded under the corridor. Obviously, the dense bullet suppression at the main entrance had made them want to retreat.

No one noticed Xu Wa who came around from another window.

Under the light of the fire, that alchemist undoubtedly became the most conspicuous target.

Without further ado, Xu Wa raised her gun and shot!

There were several blood holes in the opponent's back in an instant.

"Master Zhang is down!"

"There are enemies here too!"

Only then did the besieged notice Xu Wa's team. Several well-equipped soldiers pulled out their waist knives and rushed towards him shouting.

However it was too late.

There were already three people who entered the house through the window, and a burst of intensive bursts knocked the rushing enemies to the ground in the blink of an eye.

"Leave someone to watch this aisle."

"Press them back to the first floor!"

More and more comrades poured in from the second floor, and the enemy troops at the corridor were forced to move downward.

"Let's go this way!" Xu Wa led two other teammates across several doors and came to the top of the atrium—the enemies who were still blocking the door on the first floor were all exposed in front of them.

Now there is no need for verbal prompts.

The three of them unanimously set up their air rifles and fired fiercely at their opponents from top to bottom.

For a moment, a layer of blood mist flew across the sky. Even if the enemy knew their location, they lost their ability to fight back because of the loss of the corridor.

Xu Wa fixed her eyes on a guy in an alchemist's robe.

Judging from the spells he used, it was the gen artist who blocked the gate before, facing the rain of bullets from above, he immediately summoned an earth wall to separate himself from the crowd.

Although he blocked the first wave of attacks, he also gave up defending the main entrance.The hall was quickly occupied by troops, and the enemy's will to fight finally collapsed, and they surrendered one after another.This person sneaked out from behind the earthen wall, trying to escape alone through the side door.

Xu Wa did not forget that he held the blood debt of three comrades in his hand.

He stepped over the railing and jumped directly. He first stepped on the earth wall, and then rolled and fell to the ground.

After rushing into the side door, the back of Genjur was right in front of his eyes.

He turned slightly sideways, held the gun body flat, and put the opponent in the crosshairs with the posture that he had repeatedly honed in training.

The enemy seemed to be aware of the danger at this moment. He turned his head and saw Xu Wa who had pointed the gun at him.

He reached for his pocket with one hand, "Gen Shugui—"

And Xu Wa has already pulled the trigger.
