Chapter 455: Mutual ambush, a near-miss night attack

After releasing a hundred small swords, Chen Subaru continued to condense the second batch of Xuanbing swords. These swords are larger in size, slender in shape, but not inferior in speed. They were powerful and were obviously meant to deal with those monks who survived the attack of the small sword.

On the ground, Scout Baihu, who was responsible for commanding the guards to lure the enemy deeper, was killed in the first round of the small sword attack. Before he died, he saw the horror in the eyes of the two female guards as his body was penetrated. Then, the last scene that caught his eye was that two small black swords instantly pierced their heads.

The puppets who originally planned to block the retreat of the soldiers in the army barely resisted for a while under the attack of the small swords. In the end, they were all killed after destroying more than 20 small swords.

The guards and puppets of the underground stronghold relied on their numerical and terrain advantages to barely resist Xiaojian's attack. However, ensuing sword attacks forced them to evacuate underground.

Originally, as the number of living people in the underground passage decreased and the number of corpses increased, the calm puppets took advantage of the remaining guards, the corpses everywhere, and the space just enough to effectively defend against the flying sword's attack, even the more powerful long sword. They can also handle swords.

However, the darkness underground and the screams of the injured greatly increased the psychological pressure of the guards. They ignored the dissuasion of the puppets and fled underground in embarrassment. The puppets, who were originally confident that they could withstand the flying swords, had no choice but to follow the guards and flee.

However, they had just withdrawn from the underground and before they could rest, they were attacked by fifty cavalrymen who arrived first with the cavalry captain.

Thanks to Chen Subaru's reminder, the cavalry captain accurately led the cavalry to the predetermined location in the dark night.

Following the command from the cavalry captain, after a round of blind fire in the direction indicated by Chen Subaru, all the cavalrymen activated their spiritual vision and launched a melee charge. Since the formation of the guards had not dispersed when they emerged from the ground, they were hit by a volley of fire just as they took a breath. Immediately afterwards, the sound of rolling horse hooves came from the distance, and the morale of the guards instantly collapsed.

The remaining guards who were defeated were killed by the cavalry until they cried for their fathers and mothers. Before they could think of surrender, they were taken back underground by the puppets. However, the twenty-three guards and seventeen puppets who had long lost their fighting spirit could not organize effective resistance.

In the end, under the joint attack of the Xuan Bing Sword controlled by Chen Subaru and the Junzhen infantry who arrived later, the enemy was completely wiped out. As for the crude defensive formation in the stronghold, it was destroyed as soon as Chen Subaru released the small sword and did not play any role.

After the soldiers of the military town eliminated the enemy scouts, they completely destroyed the stronghold.

Chen Subaru did not immediately attack the center stronghold, but first observed the battlefield situation.

After the soldiers and horses on the left destroyed the stronghold, because the cavalry had only a few minor injuries, they decided to take a short rest and then support the center. Other infantrymen were responsible for counting the loot and casualties. After the cavalry left, the infantry escorted the loot and wounded back to the military town. Under Chen Subaru's special instructions, they burned the enemy's corpses to avoid leaving behind any further trouble.

During the short rest, Chen Subaru noticed that the troops in the middle had arrived at the attacking position. However, due to the smaller number of cavalry in the center, in order to take into account the speed of the infantry, the preparation time for the attack is longer than that of the troops on the left.

The three groups of soldiers and horses had estimated the time before setting off and prepared corresponding equipment for the night attack. Driven by Chen Subaru, the troops on the left took the lead in launching an attack. The other two groups of troops are relatively cautious, with the center expected to launch an attack in the first half of the night and the right in the second half of the night. Therefore, they all need to be fully prepared for night battles.

After checking that the left stronghold was shielded correctly, Chen Subaru observed through his spiritual consciousness that the troops in the middle were resting. The middle team, which was not escorted by Chen Subaru, was harassed by enemy troops and had no strong desire to attack. Chen Subaru suspected that the infantry captain might be considering canceling the night attack and withdrawing his troops.

Then, Chen Subaru checked the status of the troops on the left. Thanks to the smooth battle, the cavalry recovered after a short rest. He thought the time was ripe, so he ordered the cavalry captain to set off.

Chen Subaru first explored the road leading to the middle stronghold, and used his spiritual consciousness to guide a row of ice swords to clear the way for the cavalry. They don't need to activate their spiritual vision, they just need to follow the aura of the ice sword.

At the same time, Chen Subaru sent a message to the infantry captain on the middle route, informing them that they were surrounded by enemy troops. Once you attack a stronghold, you will immediately encounter a strong counterattack and be surrounded by enemy troops.

In the case where the troops performing a night attack are attacked and counter-surrounded by the enemy at night, unless they have a strong trump card, the morale of the team is likely to collapse quickly. Therefore, when the enemy's situation is not yet clear, the risk of rashly conducting a night attack is too high, and mature generals usually will not choose this risky strategy.

The infantry captain in the middle showed great hesitation after being attacked by a small group of enemy troops. Obviously, our whereabouts have been exposed, and if the enemy is afraid, he will definitely choose to retreat. However, the enemy's small-scale harassment prevented him from judging the opponent's next plan. It might be a bluff, a delay, a suspicion, or a trap waiting for them to fall into the trap.

Chen Subaru's message made the infantry captain break into a cold sweat, but he took another reassurance. Chen Subaru told him that they were surrounded by enemy troops, their retreat was cut off by thirty puppet monks, and there were one hundred and twenty ambushes waiting in front. Once the enemy launches an attack, they will immediately fall into a hard fight, and the "sharp blade" behind them will lead them to a dead end.

However, Chen Subaru used his spiritual consciousness to mark the puppet's location. He asked the infantry captain to put the cavalry into the attack, and the remaining infantry lay in ambush under the cover of Chen Subaru. When the puppets were about to sneak attack from the rear, all the infantry came out from behind and tried to annihilate the enemy.

Therefore, outside the central stronghold, eighty cavalry participated in the attack, and the remaining infantry was responsible for setting up an ambush.

Chen Subaru's strategy is different this time. Time was running out, so he no longer used flying swords to attack the enemy, but planned to enter the stronghold himself.

As Chen Subaru's message transmission ended, the infantry captain on the middle route began to deploy. He quickly received the enemy location information from Chen Subaru. Based on this information, after the deployment in the middle was completed, Chen Subaru also led the cavalry captain and fifty cavalry into the planned attack position from the other side.

By the time the cavalry was ready to charge, Chen Subaru's consciousness had already locked on the middle scout Baihu who was commanding the ambush in the stronghold.

The Baihu in the middle did not bring two beautiful female guards to command behind the guards. Instead, they waited outside the stronghold with the guards who lured the enemy to attack the soldiers of the military town.

But for Chen Subaru, the personal preferences of these hundreds of enemy households made no difference in front of him. He was like a ghost in the night, rushing into the guard group instantly. The Xuanbing sword in his hand flashed with cold light, and Scout Baihu's body was cut diagonally into two sections.
