“Wow, so majestic!” A team member took a few steps forward, hoping to get a clearer look.

The infantry lined up at the edge of the open space, and one magic tank after another drove out of the light gate. This batch of magic tanks had just left the factory, so the company commander had never touched one before, so he looked at it curiously.

Compared with ordinary tanks, the most obvious difference the company commander felt was the complex lines painted on the front and rear armor surfaces on both sides of it.

These lines are not black, but dark blue overall. The pattern formed by their combination is complex but not chaotic, and is drawn according to a certain rule.

The company commander recalled what he had learned in his daily life and quickly understood its identity – a magic circle.

Mandy naturally had no idea, she just felt that the pattern was mysterious and extraordinary.

The First Army had assembled, and Zhang Mu wasted no more time: “The specific battle plan will be communicated to you by Corps Commander Domit later. Before that, stay where you are.”

“Yes!” the deputy commander of the First Army responded loudly.

Zhang Mu walked up to him and explained his promise to Mandy: “Draw lots for the commando team over there and pick out 25 people. Put them in a tank respectively. No need to give them any tasks, just put them aside.”

The deputy commander glanced at the commandos huddled together and whispered, “Understood.”

“Well, I’m leaving first. Wait for your orders.”

After saying that, Zhang Mu disappeared from the spot, and the deputy legion commander waved to Mandy and asked him to lead the team members who won the draw to line up.

After twenty-five people including Mandy gathered in front of him, the deputy legion commander arranged magic tanks for them to ride, and then notified the soldiers in the magic tanks to come out and assist them in entering the interior.

Afterwards, the First Army stood silently, and the magic tanks also rested quietly in place.

Time passed slowly, the bright moon rose and fell, and dawn broke in the sky.

When the first rays of morning sun shone on everyone’s faces, the radio equipment on the simple workbench temporarily set up in front of the signalman began to beep.

After a moment, the signalman picked up the white paper with the order recorded on it and ran to the deputy commander to hand it over.

He took it, glanced through it quickly, folded it in half and stuffed it into his chest pocket, then shouted “Captain of the Artillery Regiment!”

“exist!”

“Move east five kilometers to deploy positions!”

“Yes!”

The soldiers of the artillery regiment took action under the command of the regiment commander.

“Infantry Regiment 3, 6!”

“exist!”

“You will follow the armored regiment to attack the enemy.”

“Yes!”

“Infantryman 1…”

Orders were issued one after another, and after a night’s rest, the spirited soldiers responded quickly and set out for their respective destinations. After arranging all the soldiers, the deputy corps commander led the signalmen to move to the rear to find a suitable place to set up the front-line command post.

…………

Bauhinia Corps Camp.

Sadu stayed up all night, and discussed the tactics of the general attack in the tent with two deputy legion commanders who also stayed up all night.

Sadhu spent most of the time just listening with his hands in his pockets, mainly because the two deputy legion commanders were arguing with saliva flying everywhere.

“I think it’s safest to lure the enemy.” A deputy legion commander crossed his arms and spoke in a calm tone.

“Are the enemies idiots? How could they be lured out so easily!” Another deputy legion commander slapped the table angrily.

Obviously, not sleeping all night did not bring any fatigue. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably not be able to open his eyes.

“You can think of other ways, but I don’t agree to fight the enemy in the forest.” Seeing that his companion and friend was about to get angry again, the deputy legion commander added, “The enemy has been in the forest for half a month.

You don’t need to guess to know that there are definitely traps all around the position. If we rush in recklessly, we will suffer heavy casualties before we even see the enemy. How can we win the decisive battle?”

The basis for the statement was very sufficient. The other deputy legion commander opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute it. After a long while, he said in a muffled voice: “You said you wanted to think of another way. What can you do?”

“It’s simple. Set it on fire.” He looked down at the map, spread out the five fingers of his right hand, and pressed hard on the forest where the First Army was hiding. “Burn this mountain on fire. I wonder if they can get out!”

Sadhu, who had been quiet on the side, suddenly spoke up: “It won’t work.

If we really choose to set a fire, Lake will definitely use the Saint-level to put out the fire.”

The deputy legionnaire was a little surprised: “Didn’t you say that this legion has no Saint level?”

Sadhu sighed, feeling helpless about why his subordinates acted like idiots, but he still explained: “It’s not that they don’t have Saints, it’s that the Saints are all in the rear.

I don’t know why the Saint-level soldiers didn’t accompany the army, but I think if the situation becomes critical, Lake will definitely mobilize the Saint-level soldiers for support.”

When the other deputy legion commander heard his proposal, he thought it was feasible and happily prepared to lead his men to implement it. However, it was rejected by Sadhu in an instant, and the anger that had been suppressed for a short time was rekindled.

He didn’t dare to vent to Sadhu, so he cursed at his companions: “Don’t object, just follow my plan and advance head-on!”

After being scolded all night, the mild-mannered deputy commander’s eyes widened: “Front-line advance? What are you going to use to front-line advance?

5000 soldiers couldn’t hold out for more than three hours on the outskirts of the forest. Most of them were seriously injured. If they go deeper, how long do you think the remaining soldiers can hold out?”

“Stop.” Sadhu was annoyed by the quarrel and waved his hand to interrupt.

Naturally, they did not dare to disobey the legion commander’s order. The three of them remained silent and the tent fell silent.

After a long time, the morning light shone into the tent through the gaps on the left and right sides of the door curtain.

The slightly brighter light in front of him brought Sadu back to his senses. He knew he couldn’t delay any longer, so he stood up and said, “Let’s attack head-on. As for the trap, I asked the injured soldiers, and it seems to be a magic item that will be triggered when you step on it.

We can organize high-level professionals to use area magic to destroy it and open up a safe path… Hmm?”

The three of them suddenly turned their heads at the same time and looked towards the forest through the tent cloth.

“What’s that sound?” Sadhu asked himself in confusion.

“It sounds a bit like thunder during a rainstorm.” said the deputy legion commander.

The other deputy legion commander twitched his lips: “Is it raining heavily?”

The magic circle covering the entire camp had not yet been lifted, and Sadhu’s mental power was blocked and unable to get out. He was unable to sense the source of the sound, so he planned to call his adjutant to find out.

But before he could call for help, the adjutant hurriedly opened the door curtain and walked in.

“Commander!” He took a deep breath, “The enemy has emerged from the forest and is charging towards our camp!”

Chapter 405: Sadhu: Not Losing

Sadhu never expected that the surprise would come so suddenly that he was caught off guard and stunned for a while.

The three of them stayed in the tent all night, and the two deputy legion commanders were arguing passionately about how to avoid fighting the enemy in the forest.

There was no need to ask about the result. Judging from the fact that the dispute lasted all night, no feasible solution was reached, and all three of them were having a headache.

Who would have thought that at this time Lake would come out of the forest on his own initiative? Is there any more exciting news than this?

The two deputy legion commanders who had different opinions immediately reached a consensus and were about to call on the soldiers to fight, but were stopped by Sadhu.

“What’s wrong, Commander?”

“Yeah, Lake actually dared to come out, I must teach them a lesson!”

Sadhu ignored the two men and looked at his adjutant: “How many enemies are there?”

“About 2000.”

2000?

Sadhu was confused.

According to the intelligence collected, Zhang Mu’s First Army had a full complement of about 8000 people when it was established. Although they won the battle with Lagu in the Silent Forest, they also suffered heavy losses, and the remaining troops were less than 2000.

Later, Zhang Mu added soldiers, but the selection criteria of the First Army were strict and the process was very complicated. It was said that they also arranged “ideological classes”, so the number of soldiers selected was very limited.

But no matter how limited it is, the First Army now has at least 10,000 people. We only sent 1,000 people to attack, so what about the other soldiers?

Sadhu’s eyes became sharp, there is something fishy going on!

“Don’t rush into battle.” He said to the two deputy legion commanders who were waiting for his instructions, and then he said after two seconds of silence, “Take a team of high-level professionals to search the surrounding area to see if there are any ambushing enemy troops.”

Finally, we are not avoiding the battle. The two deputy legion commanders breathed a sigh of relief, then left the tent, gathered high-level professionals, passed through the magic shield, and searched around the camp to see if there were any enemy ambushes.

They moved quickly and returned safely in just ten minutes to report the results to Sadhu.

The two entered the tent side by side, and one of them said excitedly: “Commander, you are wise. There are indeed ambushes hidden in the forest!”

“quantity.”

“About 6,000 people, 5,000 of them are divided into two groups on the left and right, and the remaining 1,000 are in the middle.”

“Six thousand?” Sadhu hesitated.

It would have been a good thing to find the traces of the enemy’s ambush, but he always felt that the fact that Lake had strangely rushed out of the forest and initiated a frontal battle was weird.

After fighting with Lake for more than half a month, Sadhu realized that the enemy had a commander who was well versed in warfare.

Is it possible for such a commander to make the foolish decision to give up the home advantage and fight a decisive battle with the enemy?

The two deputy legion commanders were obviously unaware that the enemy had already reached the gate of the camp. However, the legion commander did not order a counterattack, but stood by the table and pondered.

What are you hesitating about?

The tent was quiet for a moment, and the adjutant who had gone to investigate the situation returned: “Commander, the enemy has dug trenches on the hillside about one kilometer away from the camp, and seems to be planning to set up a position.”

Sadhu’s face darkened and he couldn’t wait any longer.

No matter what tricks Lake has, we cannot tolerate them taking advantage of the terrain and setting up an encirclement, otherwise even our retreat will become a luxury.

“Attack!”

“Yes, sir!” The two deputy legion commanders received the long-awaited order, turned around excitedly and left to gather soldiers to fight.

After making the decision, Sadhu felt relieved. Although he still felt uneasy, things had come to this point and he could only believe that the soldiers could defeat the enemy.

The two deputy legion commanders came to the open space in the middle of the camp and ordered their subordinates to gather the soldiers.

After tens of thousands of soldiers gathered in battle formation, they immediately put away the magic crystals on the ground, and the magic shield slowly disappeared.

“One corps moves out. Target: the enemy troops on the hillside one kilometer away!”

The two men did not think that they would be defeated by a legion composed of ordinary people, but they would not be disdainful of it. They cautiously sent out a legion of 5,000 people to test the enemy’s strengths.

The normal tactics used by the Bauhinia Legion against the enemy are usually that the knight soldiers are in the front row to protect, and the magician soldiers gather magic in the circle to cover the enemy. When most of the enemy soldiers are lost and their morale is completely gone, the knights will launch a charge and completely annihilate them. There is never any testing phase.
