Chapter 1213 First battle lost
In this situation, for Arnold, he could attack at any time and defeat the team guarding Xiao Shan in front of the fortress, but he was unwilling to do that.
In his opinion, it is best to let the enemy retreat when they see the difficulties. After all, they have all belonged to the same force. Therefore, Arnold's current order is to let everyone stop moving for the time being, wait first, and see if the battle in the small fortress can cause Ross and the others to suffer a lot and let them retreat when they see the difficulties.
So soon a great war began here. For Arnold and the others, as expected, these enemy troops had suffered heavy losses before they arrived at the small fortress.
The battalion officer was extremely anxious. Now his losses were so heavy that even if he captured the small fortress, there was no light on his face. So the battalion officer rushed forward in person, shouting, asking everyone to rush forward desperately. There were not many enemies in the small fortress, so they dug traps to do these things.
The two 100 teams that were ready to support at any time naturally followed the battalion officers, so the 500 people were equivalent to all members of the staff. However, when their 5 100 teams reached the limit of the small fortress wall, the trap area behind them "boomed" and started to burn, and then fire emerged from the trap, which completely blocked the retreat of the 500 people.
"not good!"
After all, the battalion officer had fought and had combat experience. He immediately knew something was wrong. Before he could react, many small black balls rolled out from the small fortress.
The terrain of this small fortress is relatively high, and the speed of these small black balls is getting faster and faster. It quickly reaches the front of these five hundred-man teams, and then there is constant explosions. The small black ball is actually a kind of time-delay thunder.
This delay lightning is a special device, which means that when it is activated, it does not explode immediately, but will explode after a certain time distance. These delay lightnings exploded among the 5 100-man teams, causing heavy losses here immediately. Looking at the battle situation behind, Lu Ping really did not expect that such a defensive measure should not have appeared on such a small fortress, but it happened.
This caused huge casualties to his team, but he did not think that he could not command it, but believed that it was because he did not judge the enemy accurately. The enemy's defense scale was normally impossible, and it was really unexpected.
There are such large-scale defense measures inside a small fortress of only a few hundred people. You must know that even large cities will not be equipped with such defenses.
Under normal circumstances, it will not be used. In such a small fortress that can accommodate only a maximum of hundreds of people, it is not necessary to be equipped with such a large scale defense.
But the fact is that such an encounter finally happened. The result was obvious. A large number of soldiers died. Before they came to this small fortress, the battalion officer had already lost nearly half of his strength, but he had not even encountered the enemy's face.
The five hundred-man teams attacked were actually more than they expected. Although they were surprised by such a situation, Lu Ping still believed that this was not because of his command error. In fact, in his opinion, although Arnold's soldiers were all very outstanding soldiers, in fact, as long as they were twice the number of their own, they were enough to deal with them.
Therefore, Lu Ping was not afraid of the combat power of Arnold's vanguard army, so he did not think that the heavy losses just now were caused by its command, because the soldiers of the vanguard army were very limited, and it was not that we had not fought together, but that the other party's defense measures were really powerful.
With 500 troops and five hundred teams, they almost lost 1 and a half. Lu Ping had to send five hundred teams under another battalion officer. In this way, Lu Ping had to send out one-third of his troops.
Lu Ping's attack was not good, and Huang Ming's attack was not much better. Originally, Huang Ming's attack was a little slower than Lu Ping's attack. This was because he did not take action at the first time, but after choosing a small fortress to attack, he made some arrangements first.
Huang Ming first divided the 100-man team in his hands into three directions, facing the small fortress from afar, but did not start attacking immediately. Instead, he just stayed and prepared for the team to fight, and did not continue attacking immediately. Then, after seeing the ending of Lu Ping, who took one step first and attacked the small fortress, he immediately ordered a lot of wooden boards.
He asked his subordinates to cut down trees and made many wooden boards just in case. Then he predicted the possible trap based on the position of the army in Luping when it appeared, and then ordered a team of 100 people under his command to rush over first.
After rushing over, this 100-man team did not encounter a trap. Huang Ming was shocked after a delayed thunder appeared on Luping, but to his surprise, the small fortress here did not use this weapon.
So Huang Ming felt relieved. It seemed that it was possible that this small fortress had not used such powerful defensive measures, but he was not happy for long. Soon he saw the rockets shot out from the small fortress.
With the captain of the Centenarians
He sneered, "Sir, I have expected that we have prepared for a long time."
Under the command of the captain, the wooden boards that had been prepared before quickly stood up and blocked them. However, the rocket did not shoot on the wooden boards, but set them on the ground around them.
The soldiers of this 100-man team did not expect that the opponent's archery skills were so poor, and at such a close distance, the arrows would be so deviated, but then they couldn't laugh, and only saw more rockets shooting on the ground around them.
The captain of the Centenarians burst into laughter when he saw this, "Don't be so nervous, these guys' archery skills are not good."
The Hundreds immediately burst into laughter. It seemed that although Arnold's vanguard army was famous, they were not all powerful, and they still had aspects that were not powerful. But soon they couldn't laugh. The rockets shot on the ground and quickly ignited a raging fire.
The captain of the hundred-man knew it was wrong as soon as he saw it, and his face changed drastically: "Be careful, the enemy wants to attack fire, there may be tincture oil underground, and we want to trap our troops and burn them to death."
Before the captain of the Hundred-Man captain finished speaking, a violent explosion sounded around him. It turned out that it was not using tinea oil, but explosives. These rockets just detonated the explosives, so the Hundred-Man team was blown to death and was wiped out.
Wang Ming's face looked extremely bad. He only sent a team of 100 people to come forward, just because he had the intention of temptation. As he expected, this small fortress did not have the traps or time-delay thunder from Lu Ping.
But it was even more powerful. An explosive was buried underground, destroying all of his 100-man team. Although Lu Ping suffered heavy losses, the organization was still there. It can be supplemented after that, and there are still so many people under his command.
However, the 100-man team under his command was wiped out, and he was not even in charge. He would not be supplemented until after that. He would always have one 100-man team. This is also the rule that the Libertarians League has always been in existence, and no one will violate it.
The result of this was that Huang Ming had planned it, but in the end, his losses were heavier than Lu Ping's side. This was simply a big joke. I believe many people can see that he actually wanted to compete with Lu Ping and compete Lu Ping, but now he was compared by Lu Ping and became a laughing stock for others.
Thinking of this, Huang Ming's face became worse and worse, and his mood became worse and worse. He bit his teeth and said, "Press up my entire army and attack!"
