Chapter 234 She is a time traveler
At this time, the bandits were fighting fiercely with Xia Yu's army.
The bandits used their familiarity with the terrain to tie down the enemy. It was obvious that they had all gone through several battles and therefore had rich combat experience.
But it was obviously inferior in tactics.
Xia Yu's army advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, with terrifying execution ability. They were like a sharp blade, sometimes stabbing into the enemy's chest and abdomen, and sometimes retreating to hide.
They can also use the surrounding bushes as cover, and their individual combat capabilities are extremely strong.
Although there were only a hundred or so people, they were divided into several groups, forming a siege.
They can cooperate tacitly without any commands.
Even though the bandits were familiar with the terrain, they were unable to fight back as the enemy was almost tactically suppressing them.
Soon, the bandits suffered heavy losses.
They were defeated with overwhelming force by the enemy.
If the bandits had not been familiar with the terrain, moved swiftly, and escaped very quickly, I'm afraid all of them would have died here today.
Seeing them retreat, Xia Yu did not pursue them.
"Don't pursue a desperate enemy," she ordered coldly, "The terrain here is complex, there's no guarantee there won't be traps."
What she needs to do is to completely destroy the opponent's combat power, rather than kill them all.
However, this bandit...
It wasn't the mob she thought it was.
If you want to attack the village, you'll have to plan ahead.
Suddenly, she seemed to notice something and looked vigilantly towards the cliff behind her.
But as far as the eye could see, there was nothing.
She averted her gaze and raised her hand in a gesture.
Everyone gather and stand by immediately.
The deputy general came over and whispered, "These bandits have been fighting the Xiling Army for a long time, so they are more difficult to deal with than ordinary bandits."
Xia Yu looked ahead and said, "Intelligence says they haven't come down the mountain for a long time. The reason they suddenly came down this time is probably because they don't have enough food stored in their house. So just wait, they will come down again."
Her narrow eyes also became stern. "Wait until they come down the mountain, then we can catch them off guard."
Her mission this time is to help Xiling solve the surrounding troubles.
And help the Xiling Army intercept the food and reinforcements that ambushed the Great Xia court.
Sheng State wanted to get a piece of the pie during the civil strife in Daxia.
The old emperor has long coveted Daxia and has wanted to expand his territory.
This is a good opportunity, so he naturally won't miss it.
At this moment, a carrier pigeon was shot down by soldiers.
"General." The subordinate handed the carrier pigeon to her.
She took out the secret letter and read it quickly.
After reading it, he said calmly, "The Crown Prince disappeared in Daxia. The King ordered us to find the Crown Prince while carrying out our mission and bring him back to Shengguo."
Recently, the old emperor has been preparing for a marriage with Daxia in order to lower the Xia Kingdom's vigilance and gain deeper insight into Daxia's internal affairs.
Crown Prince Tuoba Jing is a restless person. Some time ago, he said that he would go to Daxia in person to select a concubine, but unexpectedly he disappeared inexplicably.
"Then should we..." Deputy General Chen frowned, "Should we send someone to look for the prince?"
Xia Yu tore up the secret letter and said, "I am a general on the battlefield and I have to obey your orders."
She had no interest in finding a stupid prince.
Just die.
He really treated Daxia as his own backyard.
Since you dare to go in and out alone, you must be prepared to die.
Lieutenant General Chen nodded respectfully, "Yes."
Lin Zhaoyue and Mingxi had already left the place where they fought.
Lin Zhaoyue rode slowly, catching a glimpse of Mingxi's eyes cast down in thought. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, "What are you thinking about?"
Ming Xi collected his thoughts and said sternly, "I have read all the military books in Your Highness's study, but I have never seen such tactics as she used."
Lin Zhaoyue raised an eyebrow, "Really?"
"They're a self-contained system, working together seamlessly." Ming Xi's voice deepened. "They're particularly adept at defeating the enemy with a small force and achieving victory through surprise. Those elite soldiers all use lethal moves, clearly trained in special tactics. Each one is tough, yet incredibly ruthless. It's no exaggeration to say they can defeat a hundred with one."
He continued, "Your Highness, have you seen that they are covered in lethal weapons? Daggers are hidden in their legs, ready to take someone's life at any time. Furthermore, they have a special crossbow formation behind them to support them. They are few in number, but very accurate, with a very high hit rate."
They provided cover in the rear while attacking the enemy in the front. Their coordination was exquisite.
The swiftness of their actions and the precision of their execution are truly... chilling."
When Mingxi talked about it, she couldn't help but get goosebumps.
There was a hint of something in Lin Zhaoyue's eyes, and there seemed to be sparks flickering in her eyes.
Of course she noticed.
I noticed it when I met them.
There were many pockets sewn on their bodies, and life-threatening things were pinned on their legs and waists.
A sleek, form-fitting suit, every detail designed for killing.
Unexpectedly, this kind of equipment would be so devastating when used in ambushes.
Xia Yu is a time traveler and a former spy, so it's perfectly normal for him to possess this skill. This kind of tactic would be inherently repressive in the back-end battlefields of this era.
[In fact, there were special forces like this in ancient times, but due to the limitations of the times and the progress of civilization, their tactics were not as flexible as those of modern special forces, while modern special operations are more capable of precise strikes.]
[That's right, don't underestimate the ancients. It's impossible that Lao Xiao doesn't have special forces under his command. They just focus on different aspects and have their own strengths. Don't forget the Black Eagle Guards around the princess. They are also very good at formations, surprise attacks, teamwork, and decapitation operations. In fact, there are also shadows of special forces.]
[I'm just watching the plot here, what are you guys analyzing here?]
[Xia Yu is from Sheng Country. Will he become the princess's enemy in the future?]
[I just checked next door. They say Xia Yu has long disliked Emperor Sheng. They're asking if our princess should take down their sister Xia. Together, the two of them would be invincible!]
[The sister upstairs is well-informed (dog head)]
[I’m a relative, hehehe…]
…
Lin Zhaoyue agreed with what was said in the subtitles.
Xiao Tingye did have two special forces under his command: one was the Iron Cavalry, the other was the Elite Soldiers, both of whom were elite soldiers selected from hundreds of miles away.
They are particularly skilled in close combat, cavalry charges, ambushes, and sieges.
Tactics also focus more on formation, morale, individual skills and teamwork.
These two teams often do not fight together with the main force.
Like a bayonet piercing the enemy's heart.
Moreover, these two armies are not seen under normal circumstances.
In addition to their roles on the battlefield, these two armies will also be used to perform some special tasks.
For example, assassination, pursuit, house raiding and extermination of families.
Even she had never seen these two troops.
I've only heard a little about it.
My father once said that when Xiao Tingye swept across the world, these two special forces played a vital role.
Even so, she understood.
There is a difference between Xia Yu's army and the soldiers under Xiao Tingye.
This difference comes from their leader, their commander.
