ambush

"Duke, don't be impulsive!" Several bodyguards pressed Duke Philip II under them, protecting him with their own flesh and blood.

"D*mn it, you bastards, get off me, charge for me, kill them all, kill them all for me!" Duke Philip's eyes were red, and he roared at his bodyguards with all his might.

"Duke, the coalition is about to hold on, let's retreat!" One of the bodyguards mustered up the courage to say to Philip.

"Nonsense, you are all cowards, have the glory of soldiers been fed to the dogs? If you dare not charge, I will charge. Let me go!"

"Duke!" A bodyguard who was deeply favored by Philip was red-eyed: "Duke, the enemy's magical weapons are too powerful, our soldiers simply cannot advance. If we continue like this, we will really be annihilated, retreat, otherwise it will be over!"

Duke Philip came to his senses at this moment and slammed his fist on the ground: "Retreat, pass my order, retreat everyone!"

D*mn it, when I go back to reorganize, I must kill all these barbarians from other places to avenge this great humiliation! Duke Philip thought to himself, and retreated backward under the cover of his bodyguards.

At this moment, the coalition was also suppressed by the firepower of the expeditionary force and couldn't lift their heads, and they had long been unwilling to fight. Hearing the order to retreat, they immediately scattered backward in a swarm.

In the command hall, Yuan Qinyu leaned over to Zhang Tianya's ear and said, "Commander, they are retreating, can we wrap up the dumplings?"

Zhang Tianya nodded and then ordered, "All units maintain fire suppression, artillery ready, fire!"

The order was passed to the trench, and the eager artillerymen immediately became active.

"It's finally our turn, brothers, let's do it well, don't let all the glory be taken by the infantry, let's also show these old guys something!" The artillery commander was excited and almost jumped up and down giving orders.

The observer had already been ready and said calmly, "Set the design elements, each round of eight rapid shots, azimuth 27-00, elevation 06-80, fire!"

"Boom!"

The artillery on the position roared with anger, and with various parameters input into the fire control system, under the guidance of the artillery radar, various artillery sent a shell into the sky, and accurately fell on the road where the coalition retreated, and instantly exploded.

The coalition was immediately stunned by the explosion, and with the deafening sound of the shells, countless coalition soldiers were blown up by the shockwave of the shells, crying and shouting, and they were once arrogant and once rampant on the continent. They have never been defeated in the war with the powerful Aragon Empire, and they have never retreated a step in the fight with the cruel Vikings. But today they have encountered a devilish enemy. What is the other party's background, how can they have such powerful magical weapons, they are demons, yes, these d*mn green-clothed people must be demons, that d*mn Transworld Gate has opened hell, and now what the glory of the empire, the glory of the soldiers are all nonsense, life is the most important, they no longer care about the formation, and desperately fled in all directions.

I didn't expect the other side to be so powerful, Duke Philip finally put away his contempt, and at this moment, he just wanted to retreat back to the camp as soon as possible to end this nightmare.

Although the firepower of the expeditionary force made Duke Philip II shudder, he still forcibly maintained his sobriety, looked at the forest not far away, and roared, "Don't panic, be calm for me, listen to my command, retreat towards the forest!"

Through the video returned by the drone, everyone in the combat command hall felt that this was not a war, but a massacre, a one-sided massacre.

"Cruel, it's really cruel, tut." Zhang Tianya s*ck*d his teeth and shook his head, full of a sad look.

Yuan Qinyu was thinking about how to comfort a few words, but he didn't expect Zhang Tianya to turn his head and say, "They have entered the forest, everything is in the plan, hum, fight with me, let you can't escape from my five-finger mountain, Xiao Yuan, you immediately give Wang Dahai this stinky boy's third squad and Meng Guoqing's fifth squad to order, let them be ready to meet the enemy, hit the dog that falls in the water!"

Hey, commander, your change of speech is too fast! Yuan Qinyu looked at Zhang Tianya, speechless.

"But Wang Dahai's third squad only has six people, plus Meng Guoqing's fifth squad, there are only about ten people in total. Is it a bit too risky to use them to snipe the enemy's remnants?" Yuan Qinyu thought about it and said to Zhang Tianya seriously.

"How, have you lost confidence in that kid after being in the wilderness for half a year? Rest assured, the people I see are not wrong! Don't be hesitant, hurry up and connect me to the third squad!"

After Yuan Qinyu connected to Wang Dahai's squad radio, before he could speak, the microphone was snatched by Zhang Tianya and shouted, "Hey, is that Wang Xiaozi? The enemy has entered your area, be ready to meet the enemy, if you let an enemy go, bring your dog head to see me!"

Wang Dahai didn't even have time to say "the call is over", and Zhang Tianya had already hung up the phone. He scratched his head inexplicably, but what he scratched was the helmet: "Old Zhang has been chicken blood or been ** by someone, why is he so angry?"

Wang Dahai's helmet was equipped with a single-soldier radio headset, and at this time, Cheng Lin's voice came from the headset: "Hide, the enemy has entered the forest, at 3 o'clock, there are about two thousand people, be ready to meet the enemy!"

"Come on, come on, baby, my spear has been thirsty for a long time!" Li Mo Mo was hiding in the grass, grinding his teeth and muttering fiercely.

Li Mo Mo was born into a scholarly family; her grandfather and father were both university professors, and she has an older brother who is now a lecturer at a prestigious university in the country. Following the typical path, Li Mo Mo should have dutifully attended university and then found a stable and respectable job. However, she was naturally energetic and had been the leader among her peers since childhood, often bullying her brother. When it came time for her college entrance exams, her family expected her to apply to prestigious universities like Peking University or Tsinghua University. But against their wishes, she secretly applied to a military academy. This decision upset her grandfather so much that he didn't speak to her for two whole months. She was usually the most pampered child in the family. Determined to make a career in the military, she now saw her chance to prove herself.

"Mo Mo, can't you be more ladylike?" Murong Xue frowned. Li Mo Mo's voice had spread throughout the entire squad via the personal radio. Murong Xue, who was selected for the expeditionary force from the military medical university, not only had excellent medical skills but also solid military abilities. She was also a great beauty. After being transferred to Wang Dahai's squad, she quickly became the focus of the entire expeditionary force along with the cute and mischievous Li Mo Mo. Wang Dahai was envied by others, having to fend off several challenges from rivals.

Murong Xue and Li Mo Mo had a very good relationship, like sisters. After hearing Murong Xue's words, Li Mo Mo whispered, "Ladylike my *ss, I'm here to mess them up!" Seeing Murong Xue glance back at her sternly, Li Mo Mo stuck her tongue out but remained silent, focusing intently on the movements of the coalition forces.

Not only was Li Mo Mo eager to prove herself on the battlefield, but Zhao Yang felt the same way, gripping his Type 95 rifle and watching the coalition's movements closely. If it weren't for Wang Dahai's order to hold fire, he would have already leaped out to fight.

"At 13 o'clock direction, 200 meters away, the enemy has entered the minefield. Should we open fire?" Cheng Lin's voice came calmly through the earpiece. Before the battle began, Cheng Lin and several other reconnaissance team members had planted anti-personnel mines along the enemy's retreat route, now waiting for the enemy to fall into the trap.

"Hold on, let them all enter the minefield and then give these guys a ride on a dirt plane. Remember, detonate the middle first, then the two sides!" Wang Dahai casually picked his nose, but his gaze was gradually becoming sharp.

The coalition forces had gradually entered the forest, and the thundering artillery fire behind them seemed to have subsided. Duke Philip II let out a slight sigh of relief, but the anger in his heart was growing stronger. His 15,000-strong army, composed of elite troops from various countries and his own elite armored cavalry, had been defeated by just a few thousand enemies. What he couldn't accept was that his forces hadn't even made contact with the enemy's position, and the enemy seemed to have suffered no losses at all. This was a humiliation that the proud Duke Philip could never accept!

These d*mn barbarians, I, Philip von Augusta, the Duke of Bavaria known as the Lion of the Earth, swear by the Holy Light that I will avenge this humiliation. I will definitely conquer the Athiess Plateau!

As the coalition forces were focused on fleeing back to their camp, Cheng Lin gently pressed the detonator in his hand. Boom, boom, boom, several loud explosions sounded, and the mines buried in the forest exploded instantly.

The coalition forces were blown to pieces, their souls flying and their heads disoriented. They couldn't see any enemy figures in the forest; how could there be a sudden explosion? Was the Athiess forest also cursed by the devil?

Cheng Lin buried the anti-personnel mines known as "double-edged machetes" in the ground. One side was an explosive, and the other side was a small steel ball. When the mine was detonated, the huge shockwave from the explosive would shoot out the small steel balls, instantly filling the bodies of the ambushed infantry.

Several coalition soldiers were covered in blood holes, lying on the ground screaming, and some had their legs and feet blown off completely, with no hope of salvation.

Seeing the tragedy of their comrades, the coalition soldiers finally collapsed, screaming and fleeing in all directions. Even the always calm Duke Philip was stunned. Could it be that he would really die here?

"This is the moment, open fire!" At Wang Dahai's command, Li Mo Mo, who had been holding back, jumped out first, holding an automatic rifle and firing a burst at the coalition forces, while Zhao Yang was not willing to lag behind, moving towards Li Mo Mo's position while firing.

The coalition soldiers were taken aback. How could people suddenly appear from the grass? However, they were trained soldiers. After a brief period of confusion, they reacted quickly, organizing their troops to attack Li Mo Mo.

Dozens of people rushed towards Li Mo Mo and Zhao Yang with fierce momentum. At this moment, the two had just run out of bullets and were hurriedly changing magazines, seeing the broadswords of the coalition about to chop down.

"Have you two lost all your training to the dogs?" Wang Dahai also jumped out and cursed: "Keep the pressure on, d*mn it!"

The coalition soldier at the forefront was two heads taller than Li Mo Mo, with a strong physique. Seeing Li Mo Mo's delicate face, he smiled indecently, shouting in a muddle, and his weapon was actually two huge axes. Seeing the blade of the axe about to chop down on Li Mo Mo's delicate neck.

Bang, bang, bang, Wang Dahai fired. He rolled over and fired a burst in an instant, and all three bullets hit the coalition soldier's head. The coalition soldier's huge body suddenly fell to the ground.

"Thank you for saving my life, Captain. I won't forget your great kindness! I will repay you with my life!" Li Mo Mo actually made a flying kiss to Wang Dahai in the midst of the chaos, then quickly changed the magazine and continued to fire at the coalition forces.

"You talk too much!" Wang Dahai glanced at her and ordered: "Li Mo Mo follows me, Zhao Yang keep up, He Changlong, Murong Xue, you two maintain the side fire suppression, Cheng Lin is responsible for covering, let's go!"

Wang Dahai and his four men formed a column, maintaining continuous fire while advancing. After Wang Dahai ran out of bullets, he quickly retreated to the end of the team, and Li Mo Mo continued to fire. After the bullets were exhausted, Zhao Yang took over. They took turns advancing and firing, maintaining continuous fire suppression. Cheng Lin hid in the tree from time to time, firing cold shots. As long as other coalition soldiers quietly approached the team, they basically became the ghosts under his gun. In a short while, these dozens of coalition soldiers were wiped out.

At this time, Meng Guoqing's fifth squad was on the other side of the forest, using the same tactics to wipe out many coalition forces. Meng Guoqing had been holding back his anger and wanted to compete with Wang Dahai, because he was also one of the many admirers of Murong Xue in the expeditionary force.

The coalition forces that had been defeated to the Athiess forest had been reduced to a few, and the dazed Duke Philip finally escaped from this forest of death under the protection of his loyal bodyguards, riding on a warhorse that was already exhausted. Philip, with red eyes, looked back at the Athiess Plateau, and the hatred in his heart was immeasurable. He secretly swore that the green-clothed barbarians, you remember, the humiliation you gave me today, I will definitely get it back, and I will bet on all the glory and glory of the Augusta family, I swear to avenge this revenge!
