Otherworldly Castle Era

Chapter 36 Hunting tribe

“Yu Shu, record the order!”

Zhang Wei said to Sima on the side after seeing the report on the completion of the mission from the front.

“Yes, please say the battalion commander!” Yu Shu picked up his pen and got ready.

“Order! The light cavalry formation is centered on the tribe A in the west!”

“Command! The main guard battalion starts to move forward to tribe A!”

“Command! The far-reaching army formation is mixed with the regular army formation, and the brigade is used as the basis for mixing into three columns!”

“Order! The first column follows the camp commander from it to the A tribe! It will destroy and expel other small tribes along the way!”

“Order! The second column is led by the commander of the squadron, and cleans up along the encircling circle from the west!”

“Order! The third column is led by the commander of the regular army and clears from the east of the encirclement circle!”

“Command! The first and third column, mainly to destroy and drive, supplemented by kills, will simultaneously launch a general attack on the last No. A tribe at noon on the tenth!”

“Command! The light cavalry formation will coordinate with the main force to launch an offensive ten days later. The task is to divide and disperse the enemy crowd, and carry out suppression and pursuit!”

……

With a long list of orders, all the soldiers of the whole battalion moved into action!

The three large tribes detected by the detectives were named by Zhang Wei from west to east as ‘A, B, C’, and the other small tribes were named as ‘A One, A Two…’ according to their location and distance.

For example, the nearest tribe in the north of Tribe A is named ‘Jia Yi’, and then starting with ‘Jia Yi’, make a clockwise circle, and the naming will go down the row!

According to the investigation, there are not many other tribes near this large tribe. The further out, the denser the distribution of tribes!

This may be the hunting and sphere of influence among the various tribes!

The isolation ring that Zhang Wei asked the cavalry to set up was a small blank area. The stray hunting team he ordered to clear a few days ago was carried out in these blank areas!

Each isolation circle is about forty to fifty kilometers long, and it’s a bit longer in the east-west direction.

He ordered the mixing of the conventional army and the distant attack army to clean up and expel the small surrounding tribes as quickly as possible, and drive these people to the large tribes in the middle.

The two main **** formations are mixed into three columns, each of which happens to have a long attack brigade and a close combat brigade. A column of more than two hundred people combines far and near.

The combat power is not weaker than that of a single formation, but the reduction is not too much, it is enough to deal with these scattered tribes!

The issuance of the order is the beginning of the action!

It took half a day to mix up the columns and supply supplies. Because of the training in this area, re-formation is very fast, but it took some time to supply supplies.

But it was also after midday, the three columns set off one after another, followed the route on the map, entered the ‘hunting ground’, and began the round-up operation!

Zhang Wei took his battalion and personally led a column consisting of a melee squadron (a sword and shield squadron, a pikeman squadron, a heavy infantry squadron), a strong crossbow squadron, an archer squadron, and Liannu Squadron formed.

Because the melee brigade has the only heavy infantry squadron in the entire battalion, plus the battalion to which Zhang Wei belongs, the first column is also the strongest of the three columns, and it is also responsible for the most difficult route!

Break through, facing the pressure on both sides, he needs to lead a ‘heavy force’ to command and coordinate in the middle! So there are two hundred and ninety people in the first column!

The second and third columns are composed of a strong crossbow squadron, an archer squadron, a continuous crossbow squadron, a half shield squadron, and a half pikeman squadron!

These two columns, each with 230 people, start operations from both sides. This combat force is enough!

Before leaving, Zhang Wei faced Yu Shu and said: “Sima, you go and tell the people in the post-insurance bureau that our marching combat route, so that they can provide logistics in time!”

“Yes, the subordinates will send someone there!” After Yu Shu answered, he wrote a letter, ready to be sent to the rear.

The logistics are guaranteed by a special security bureau. Zhang Wei and the others only need to fight with confidence on the front line, and there will be a convoy coming to supply supplies before they reach a place!

Logistics transportation is a mobilized militia. For this expedition, Yang Ren mobilized more than two thousand people for logistical support.

You know, the total number of soldiers in the guard battalion is only 1,100, and the logistics militia that provides support is twice as many as the combat personnel!

It can be seen from this that fighting is not only a fight in the front, but also a guarantee in the rear!

War is a competition for overall national power!

……

Zhang Wei was riding on a war horse, standing on a high ground, looking at the tribe in front of him that he marked as orange-a medium-sized tribe of more than 600 people!

Looking at the people of this tribe in front of them, because of their arrival, they were panicked and ran around in a mess.

He did not order an attack immediately, but was waiting. After the people of this tribe assembled their forces, he wanted to wipe out the opponent’s resistance in one go!

He didn’t want to be exhausted due to waves of harassment from the other party during the expulsion process!

Zhang Wei has been standing in this place for almost an hour, and the nearly three hundred soldiers in front have been lined up for a long time, but the opponent is still messy and disordered!

It was hard to wait until the other party, under the leadership of a leader, gathered more than four hundred and nearly five hundred people and ran towards this side, yes! You can only use running to describe the opponent’s posture.

There was no formation at all, it was messy, and rushed up in a swarm!

There are probably people from other tribes who were driven over the other day among those who rushed over!

Otherwise, there cannot be so many people. The leader of the other party should have seen more people than here so he rushed over!

Zhang Wei finally waited for this moment. With a wave of his hand, the guards on standby held the flags and started to command below!

“Boom the drum!” Zhang Wei ordered.

On the small **** behind him, several war drums began to sound!

“Boom ! Boom ! Boom !”

The very powerful sound of war drums sounded rhythmically, and it made people excited when they heard it in the ears of the soldiers!

“Woo ! Woo ! Woo !”

Then, the horns began to call out, and the five-row square queue in front began to follow the officer’s command and took the first step towards the enemy!

“Strong crossbow !” A loud shout came from the array!

“Drink !” The thirty-six crossbowmen in the first row raised their crossbows, aimed at the front, took a neat step, and uttered an angry shout in response!

“Target! Three hundred meters ahead!” The officer shouted again: “Shoot !”

Suddenly, thirty-six crossbow arrows flew out! In the blink of an eye, it shot into the opposite crowd, and immediately a group of people turned on their backs!

After a while, the strong crossbowmen reloaded their crossbow arrows!

“Two hundred and thirty meters ahead!” The command came: “Shoot !”

The crowd on the opposite side was another group of people turning their backs on their backs, and the people running in front were already in horror at this time!

“Strong crossbow! Bow and arrow throwing! ” The officer ordered again: “Prepare !”

This is also let the archer team join the attack sequence!

“One hundred and sixty meters ahead!” The command came again: “Shoot !”

Dozens of people were shot to the ground again. At this time, the people standing in the front should have wanted to escape backwards, but the people behind were still crowded forward, making these people who wanted to escape can only look desperate. Welcome!
