Chapter 454 Sword Raid, tacit understanding of friendly forces and stupid tactics

The general in charge of the troops on the left is the cavalry captain of the military town. Therefore, including the captain's personal soldiers, the cavalry in the troops on the left accounts for half, while the other two troops each have only thirty cavalry.

Although the three armies followed Chen Subaru's orders and did not discuss joint tactics in advance, it seems that these generals had good personal relationships in the military town, so they still had a certain tacit understanding.

The troops on the left are mainly cavalry, and they give priority to launching raids. Regardless of victory or defeat, they have enough mobility. If they win by chance, the cavalry will immediately support the second line of troops to reduce the loss of the military town; if they fail unfortunately, the remaining cavalry will quickly convey military information to friendly forces and suspend subsequent operations.

In terms of attack tactics, the generals obviously made some ingenious arrangements, allowing the cavalry-dominated troops on the left to attack first as sharp knives. Although this may cause the military town to lose some valuable cavalry, facing a simple scout stronghold, the cavalry can quickly test the enemy's true strength. Even if the opponent has a conspiracy, they are willing to bear some losses to avoid friendly forces paying a greater price.

Chen Subaru understood the thoughts of these generals from the formation of troops, and a knowing smile appeared on his face. When he caught up with the troops on the left, they were only ten miles away from the reconnaissance limit of the scout stronghold.

At this time, the cavalry captain was hesitating at which distance to stop marching. He didn't think that the whereabouts of his hundred-man team could be perfectly hidden. The last thirty miles would inevitably reveal their whereabouts.

Once a team is discovered, there is a risk of being ambushed. Therefore, where to take the final rest became a difficult question to decide, after all, he did not have any enemy intelligence.

Because most of the cavalry in the military town are light armored cavalry, it is impossible for him to lead the cavalry to break through the enemy's ambush circle rashly during the battle. Once engaged in battle, the enemy must be shocked with mounted fire and cover the infantry into charging distance. After the infantry finds the enemy's position and engages in battle, the cavalry returns to the appropriate charging position to conduct a melee charge.

Taking into account the physical strength of the infantry and horses, marching for hundreds of miles is not a state that can be immediately put into battle. Even if their soldiers are strong, the monks do not care about the fatigue, but regardless of whether the enemy is weaker than one's own or stronger than one's own, marching Baili immediately launched an attack, fearing that the bandits would not be so reckless when robbing villages and towns.

While the cavalry captain was thinking hard, he received a message from Chen Subaru: "The entire army is marching at full speed. There is no need to consider the risk of being ambushed or facing a strong enemy head-on. I will solve all obstacles and launch an attack as soon as you arrive at the local stronghold. , wipe out the remaining enemy scouts, your troops must be quick, and you must wipe out all the enemy troops. "

After the cavalry captain received Chen Subaru's message, before he could react, he felt a faint coercion pass over his head. In order to reassure him, Chen Subaru deliberately slowed down the speed above the team and released some spiritual pressure.

Looking at Chen Subaru's figure flying forward quickly, the cavalry captain no longer hesitated and immediately issued an order: "The military situation has changed. The friendly forces are about to capture the enemy's stronghold. All troops and horses will follow me to rush for reinforcements!"

He didn't reveal the truth, mainly because it would be complicated to explain. Soldiers are quick, and finding an excuse that is easy to accept can help reduce the psychological burden on soldiers, boost their morale, and prepare them for the next battle.

Seeing that the team's marching speed had increased significantly, Chen Subaru resumed his original speed and rushed towards the enemy's scout stronghold with all his strength.

At the left scout stronghold, the hundreds of scouts responsible for managing the area have been informed of the news of troops being sent from the military town. Although he is the person in charge of the stronghold, the puppets are not under his command. He can only command the guides and some of the guards.

Those who are really responsible for the investigation work are those who specialize in investigation, but because they are not under the command of Baihu, they will only perform tasks based on their own judgment and share the intelligence they collect as appropriate.

Due to their reverence for the craftsmen, these people did not dare to approach the military town for reconnaissance, and only stayed within a range of thirty to fifty miles away from the military town. Although they were unable to learn more about Chen Subaru's defensive formation, they still learned of the news of troops dispatched from the military town as soon as possible.

At this moment, hundreds of scouts were pacing back and forth anxiously in the stronghold, waiting for further information from the puppets. However, he did not receive a reply for a long time. He was within a hundred miles of the enemy's military town, and the hundreds of people around him became increasingly uneasy.

Two delicate-looking female guards stood aside, holding torches with one hand and anxious looks on their faces. They were worried that Master Baihu's mood would continue to deteriorate, and the sisters would be very uncomfortable in the coming time.

At this time, a guard responsible for liaison with the puppets ran to Baihu and saluted respectfully: "Sir Baihu, they only said that the incoming team has accelerated thirty miles away, let us be prepared."

Baihu looked at the guard in surprise and roared: "What? When did they arrive thirty miles away? When did they start to accelerate? Did they go with the infantry or the cavalry first? These guys didn't tell us anything, let's How do we prepare!"

The order guard lowered his head and did not dare to respond. He is just a messenger. He knows where those people's ideas go.

The soldiers from the military town set out before dawn. After a whole day of marching, it was already nightfall when they approached the scout stronghold.

Chen Subaru has been hiding less than a hundred meters outside the stronghold. With the cultivation of the monks in the camp, his presence cannot be discovered even with the help of magic weapons. At this time, a black ice sword began to condense in his hand, and a line of spiritual consciousness connected it to the small sword, guiding its direction.

The sword body gradually took shape in the air. Although the sword body appeared black, it also shimmered with cold light under the influence of spiritual power. Chen Subaru used his spiritual consciousness thread to control this small sword, keeping it suspended in the air for a long time. Then, he began to condense the second and third swords... until a hundred small swords were densely suspended in the air. Chen Subaru secretly estimated: "It should be enough."

Driven by Chen Subaru's magic power, all the small swords were like a group of ghosts in the dark night, galloping towards the marked target. Fifty small swords went straight to the thirty puppets who were responsible for investigating and blocking the retreat of the soldiers in the military town. The remaining fifty gave priority to killing the forty-seven guards on the ground who were luring the enemy, and then went straight to the ground where they were waiting or resting. people.

Although these small swords are not very strong individually, they are incredibly fast under the control of Nascent Soul cultivators. They can easily break through the defense of the monks in the Core Formation Realm and hit puppets and guards like lightning.

The attention of the puppets and guards was now attracted by the soldiers of the army town who entered the ambush circle, so that most of the guards had no resistance when the small sword penetrated their vital points. Even if a person with quick reactions can resist the sudden attack of the first small sword, it will be difficult to avoid the second small sword that comes with a faster speed and a more tricky angle.
