But finally everything was ready.
Su Younian gave the order: "Go!"
The soldiers began to pour fuel and throw torches, and the demon camp was suddenly engulfed in raging flames.
In front of him, in the data reality, the demon army was imposed with a sneak attack status, so the morale was -2, and the chaos lasted for thirty seconds to five minutes.
Only a few demon soldiers who remained conscious were able to escape from the sea of fire.
Thirty seconds later, they jumped out of the camp gate one by one, but the fire had already spread.
More than 20,000 demons were trapped in the camp and burned or choked to death. Some of them managed to escape with bare hands, but what appeared before them were thousands of human soldiers holding sharp blades and full of hatred.
In the revenge state, the human army showed a significant morale-boosting effect.
As a result, serious massacres occurred, and many soldiers continued to kill people even though the demons had surrendered.
Su Younian quickly stopped a group of prisoners and learned from them that another troop was on its way. After a little thought, he quickly gave an order: put out the fire in the camp immediately, and especially find a way to rescue the demon uniforms and armor in the military supply warehouse.
Su Younian’s principle is that there must never be any direct battle with the demons.
Having already had a skirmish with the demons, he no longer dared to engage in a wild battle with them unless it was necessary.
What arrived were not three teams, but all ten teams of the Demon Legion!
Nearly 30,000 people are also one-fifth of the team currently led by Su Younian.
If a field battle really broke out, Su Younian didn't dare to imagine what the specific situation would be.
When they arrived at the foot of the nameless city, they did not find anything unusual.
The city gate was open, with a few guards standing lazily below, and some basking in the sun on top of the city wall.
Everything was normal, except for a thick black column of smoke rising above the city and the air being filled with the smell of burnt meat - but this was normal, especially in an area that the demon army had just occupied.
After all, this time, the demons are ready to kill all humans and then seize the territory.
Because this is the territory of the demon clan's rear base, more than 30,000 troops entered the city without any precautions. The ranks were loose, the soldiers were talking and laughing, and even their weapons were left in the sacks.
Half of the troops have entered the city, including the commander himself.
At this moment, a terrible "creaking" sound was heard: the heavy city gate suddenly fell, crushing several demon cavalrymen below into meat paste!
The commander himself was in the city corridor, nearly becoming a meat product. He retreated angrily, cursing, "What's going on up there?! Someone's being crushed to death! Open the door! Or I'll shoot you dead!"
Then an arrow flew over and shot him dead.
Dense rows of archers appeared on the city walls, and arrows rained down on the unsuspecting troops.
These equipments were all looted by Su Younian from the camp and are very new.
For a moment, people and horses were in chaos. The suddenly closed city gate cut the army into two parts, the front and the rear of which could not connect. The army lost its commander and could not decide whether to advance or retreat, and was in chaos.
The same scene was playing out in the city. Human soldiers were lying in ambush on rooftops and in waterways, suddenly appearing and shooting arrows, spears, and slashing with swords at the demon soldiers marching unprotected in the streets.
The demon army fled in panic, but fell into various traps one after another.
After the commander died, the deputy forced his subordinates, who had already suffered heavy casualties, to climb the city wall and attack the army led by Su Younian.
The only result was that thousands of bodies were left dead under the city wall, and the opportunity to escape and retreat was missed.
When he finally realized that something was wrong, there was thunder and lightning behind him.
A mass of heavily armored cavalry emerged from the dense forest behind them, charging forward like a tidal wave...
Humans are indeed inferior to demons in field combat, but this is an exception when it comes to heavy armored cavalry.
This troop, which was trained and left behind by Su Younian himself, has terrifyingly strong combat effectiveness.
Moreover, after absorbing the combat effectiveness of other commanders, the troops in Su Younian's hands have changed.
There are 150,000 troops, 50,000 of which are armored cavalry, 30,000 are light armored cavalry, and the rest are armored infantry.
They gave up the flexibility and maneuverability needed for large-scale raids in exchange for terrifying dominance on the local battlefield.
In this battle, not many of the ten legions were able to escape, especially the vanguard troops that had already entered the city, not even a single one escaped.
Within one day, they successively wiped out two armies of the demon clan with a force of more than 50,000 men.
Su Younian was still not satisfied. In order to achieve the greatest effect of shocking the demons, he sent his troops out to "demonstrate" along the way, instructing them to "raise as many flags as possible!"
The quartermaster protested, "Sir, we don't have that many flags!"
Su Younian said impatiently, "Who says we have to have a military flag? Anything like a bamboo pole with a piece of cloth on top with the army's name written on it will do!"
That evening, large human forces appeared simultaneously on several roads in the Goming Province.
In the evening glow, the mighty army is as powerful as a rainbow, the horses are like dragons, the men are like tigers, the soldiers are in sharp armor and full of murderous intent, and above their heads, a sea of flags flutters in the wind.
Only five thousand men were dispatched, but the overall force had the momentum of fifty thousand.
Along the way, the small group of demons were frightened out of their wits by the sea of flags fluttering in the distance.
According to the convention of human armies, one flag is calculated for each battalion, so this wave has at least 50,000 people.
The next day, when the sun came out, Su Younian's troops ran back to the original place and wandered around, with many flags flying above their heads.
The demons were terrified: more reinforcements are coming!
The spies went back and described a terrifying scene to the demon headquarters: an astonishing number of human troops rushed forward, overwhelming the sky and the earth.
To avoid punishment for desertion, the remnants of the defeated army also came forward to chime in: "Yes, yes, we fought bravely, but the enemy was too numerous, so many that the entire Luoping Plain was packed with people. What could we do?"
The more than 100,000 people in the Su Younian Legion continued to reproduce automatically as they reported layer by layer.
It became 200,000, 300,000, 400,000... and the number is still rising!
Moreover, according to intelligence, a steady stream of troops are approaching the commander-in-chief's residence!
But what made the commander-in-chief's guard officers crazy was
As soon as these armies get close to a certain distance, they disappear without a trace and their whereabouts are unknown!
This further proves that these cunning humans have ulterior motives!
In the unilateral judgment of the demons.
They must have been hiding in some hidden dense forest, waiting for the commander-in-chief to pass by, and then they will suddenly rush out!
Cooperate with Su Younian's troops entrenched in that city to attack from both front and back!
Isn't it often said in human military books? To capture the thief, first capture the leader!
First, strike the enemy's command center, causing the entire army to become shaken and in chaos.
Finally, defeat the enemy's outer troops one by one! This is a typical lesson plan in military strategy!
In fact, the demons were completely overthinking it.
No matter how crazy Su Younian is, or how many cheats he has, it is impossible for him to attack the 200,000 most elite direct troops of the Demon Clan with a single army.
And behind this elite force is the demon leader who is known to be invincible on the continent.
Su Younian's original plan was to show off in the Ge Ming Province for three to four days to attract the attention of the demons, and then retreat before the demons' outer troops arrived.
He was betting that the commander-in-chief would not take the risk and lower his status by actively attacking him.
After all, according to the system, the National Defense War has just begun. If this is the case, the demons, who are NPCs, will definitely not start a decisive battle casually!
Four days passed without any problems, and Su Younian breathed a sigh of relief and ordered his subordinates: "Abandon this city and prepare to evacuate."
Four days should be enough for people from two provinces to leave.
Su Younian planned to make peace with Marligt's central army first, otherwise he didn't think he had the ability to continue fighting.
The Central Army has 300,000 troops and has strong supplies!
He can definitely fight a bloody battle with the so-called commander-in-chief’s personal soldiers.
In Su Younian's judgment, Marigot should represent the royal route, that is, the strongest official combat force of the Hualian, while he should take the civilian route, that is, the power from the rebels.
They complement each other, and the historical backgrounds of their countries are similar.
——Just at this moment, a troop appeared.
The reconnaissance team reported to Su Younian: A group of demon soldiers were approaching from fifty miles away, with a strength of about 50,000.
Chapter 62: Game World (4)
At first, Su Younian did not take this army seriously: since it was not the commander-in-chief who attacked with all his strength, he could easily handle it.
Moreover, his 150,000-strong army has grown sufficiently through his persistence over these days.
And because it was a game, Su Younian was very sure that his subordinates would not betray him.
In the morning, the army withdrew from the nameless city in an orderly manner and marched westward.
At this time, the enemy troops suddenly approached, the distance was less than ten kilometers, and they were ready to attack with all their strength.
Su Younian was stunned.
He decisively ordered the army to stop retreating, deployed defensive formations on the Luohe Plain, and quietly waited for the arrival of the enemy.
But the sun continued to rise from the east to the center, and the enemy troops were faintly visible on the horizon, but they just didn't come closer and actually stopped there motionless!
Su Younian was a little worried.
At a command, they took the initiative to launch an offensive. The infantry in the middle formed a huge steel square formation and approached in an orderly manner. The cavalry on both wings maintained the same speed as the infantry and advanced slowly.
Su Younian did not want to waste precious manpower and time fighting against the enemy here. He just wanted the opponent to see the terrible momentum of the army and retreat.
During the battles of these days, Su Younian has discovered one thing, that is, the game NPCs still have some logic that can be found. As long as you are stronger than the enemy, the enemy will judge that they are short of troops and then retreat on their own initiative.
It is probably also a game judgment to prevent the opponent from "maliciously giving away heads".
Su Younian felt a severe headache because of this.
After all, the favorite tactic of adding fuel was interrupted.
Sure enough, when the other side saw Su Younian’s army’s strong formation, they retreated immediately.
Then Su Younian ordered the army to continue retreating westward according to the map.
But before they had gone ten kilometers, the enemy troops appeared again and approached.
The army turned around and prepared to attack, but the enemy began to retreat again.
Su Younian's heart skipped a beat.
There's something wrong with this thing!
The same process was repeated several times.
The enemy's soldiers followed Su Younian like a stray dog that couldn't be defeated, shouting and bluffing.
When Su Younian left, he chased after him.
Su Younian stopped, and the demon soldiers also stopped.
When Su Younian turned around and chased after them, they quickly took a few steps back.
It was like a plaster stuck to the army's back, following them relentlessly.
This situation continued all the way to the Luohe River.
Su Younian felt a chill in his heart: he had encountered a difficult situation.
The other side's goal was not to defeat him, but to hold him back and wait for their outer troops to rush back and encircle him.
In other words, there are only two possibilities.
First, the military strength on his side was completely exposed, and then the other side was determined to attack him.
Second is...
The plot was sped up again.
Su Younian also understood the other party's purpose in his heart.
The enemy general was waiting for the opportunity when Su Younian's army retreated and crossed the Luo River.
An army is at its most vulnerable moment when it is crossing a river!
