Who would have thought that here at His Highness's place, any soldier who had meritorious service and outstanding performance would have the opportunity to climb the ladder...
Ding Wu held his breath and watched the enemy in front of him enter the encirclement they had ambushed in advance like a long snake.
The place where the enemy soldiers were passing through was a forest, neither too big nor too small, just enough to cover up their own soldiers who were launching a surprise attack.
Lying in the still damp woods, Ding Wu's palms began to sweat slightly.
The enemy was advancing in a formation of two people in a row, and the entire team was crawling like a long, slender snake.
The leader was an old man wearing armor and looking a bit old.
As soon as this person entered the woods, he whispered something to the soldiers around him.
Then the enemy soldiers changed their formation in an orderly manner, from two people in a row to a multi-person parallel formation.
The overall speed of travel is also much faster.
It seems that the veteran suspects that there may be an enemy ambush here.
Ding Wu's palms were sweating again due to nervousness, but he had experienced this kind of ambush training countless times. The more nervous he was, the slower his breathing became.
This allowed him to hide better.
The enemy leader was about to speed up and get out of the encirclement.
Ding Wu's eyes sharpened, and he immediately pressed the shooting button on the small crossbow in his hand. With a crisp "whoosh" sound, the crossbow arrow shot out instantly.
This crossbow is also an improved version developed by Mr. Pan Gou from the research institute and several other gentlemen.
This thing is small, has a long range, great lethality, a high hit rate, and low requirements for the user!
"Ugh" the enemy soldiers fell down instantly, and the chaos was over in just a moment.
"Enemy attack!" "Enemy attack!" "Enemy attack!"
Then, within just a breath, many figures suddenly appeared from all directions of the woods on both sides, and these powerful bows and crossbows fired continuously.
The old general reacted extremely quickly. He turned around and saw this scene. His eyes widened and he immediately shouted loudly: "Raise your shields!"
The soldiers in the rear were cheered up. Although the scene of their comrades' tragic death was still fresh in their minds, they were at least able to react and raised their shields in an orderly manner.
Ding Wu saw this scene above the woods, and without stopping, he exchanged positions with the soldier who had just fired a round of crossbow arrows.
He threw the explosive pack with the lit fuse in his hand towards the crowd gathered below.
"Boom!" "Bang!" The earth shook instantly.
The enemy's shield army was instantly thrown into disarray.
At the same time, a group of soldiers behind Ding Wu had already prepared explosive packs with lit fuses.
In just three breaths, the battlefield was filled with the disgusting smell of cooked meat and gunpowder.
Ding Wu's series of moves made the enemy dizzy.
But that’s not all.
At the same time, the soldiers behind him who had changed to crossbows also came forward and silently launched the next round of crossbow attacks.
They had done this kind of cooperation many times in the trial space and were very proficient at it.
'Whoosh!' 'Whoosh!' 'Whoosh, whoosh!'
Crossbow arrows continued to shoot downwards like rain.
The soldiers below had already adjusted their formation and dragged their injured colleagues under the remaining shield protection.
The enemy veteran's eyes flashed with anger, and there was a buzzing sound in his ears. He immediately abandoned his horse and hid behind the shield with extremely fast reaction.
Then he raised his spear and shouted angrily: "Raise your shield! Fight back!"
How dare they sneak up on Grandpa! They're really asking for their own death! Also, what on earth did they just throw out?
On the other side, Ding Wu's expression remained unchanged when he heard this. He waved his hand, stood up and put away the crossbow in his hand.
He picked up the long stick at hand and said, "Form a formation!"
He had anticipated the enemy's reaction, and even anticipated every reaction from the enemy.
The soldiers around Ding Wu were all fighting one against a hundred, and they cooperated very well with their comrades, so their reactions were much faster than those of the soldiers below.
He immediately lit the last remaining, ready-made explosive pack in his hand and threw it into the low-lying area below, where the enemy was gathering.
This time they threw the most, and they were all the remaining explosive packs from the lightly armed ambush.
Each person has two in his hand, and after two rounds of throwing, there is nothing left of the enemy.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" A series of explosions rumbled.
It was like a thunderbolt from heaven, which instantly deafened and blinded the enemy soldiers, turning them into useless people.
Ding Wu saw this opportunity and shouted loudly: "Go!"
Our soldiers immediately rushed to the enemy, waving their weapons like hungry wolves.
The enemy and our side immediately collided bravely and fearlessly.
Ding Wu clenched the long stick in his hand tightly, knocking the enemy away while searching for the veteran who had just been commanding the enemy.
When two armies engage in battle, it's best to kill the commander first! Once the commander is dead, the enemy will be nothing but scattered sand!
Ding Wu carefully observed the entire battlefield with his tiger eyes, and suddenly found that among the enemies, there was a person who was firmly surrounded by the enemy.
The person in the middle was young and looked somewhat similar to Cui Min.
Especially between the eyebrows and eyes, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the same person.
Ding Wu's eyes flashed slightly.
He wasn't blown up by the bomb? He's lucky!
Judging from the way he is being protected, this person is either the commander of the reinforcements or the military advisor of these soldiers!
Thinking of this, Ding Wu curled up a smile, twisted his body, and rushed towards the encirclement!
No matter who is inside, he must have an extraordinary identity to be protected by the enemy like this!
Of course, unless the enemy knew they were going to be ambushed and found a bait there to draw fire.
However, Ding Wu didn't care whether this was a bait or not. His target was this group of people today, and no one would be able to escape!
This idea was specifically given to him by Cui Min and Liang Yan. The two gentlemen said, "We must not allow the enemy to support Zhengyang City and threaten the front line. No matter what, we must eradicate them completely!"
"Bang!" General Ding swung the long staff in his hand with great force, watching the enemy desperately blocking the people in the encirclement.
Some even took the initiative to use their bodies to block the long stick in order to stop Ding Wu.
These people are truly extremely loyal.
"Hey, grandson! Don't hide behind! Come out and fight your grandfather!" Ding Wu's voice exploded outside the encirclement.
Cui Xia was protected at the back and his breathing became faster. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with being provoked.
But he didn't make any move and was obediently protected by the soldiers behind him.
Looking at Ding Wu's gloomy expression, there was a hint of mockery on the corner of his mouth.
Seeing that this man was unmoved, Ding Wu couldn't help feeling sorry. He wished that this man was as bad-tempered as Chen Chang.
The situation here caught the old general's attention. His face changed drastically and he rode his horse and rushed over here, pointing a long spear at Ding Wu.
