Cut off my army's food supplies? I'll open a portal between the two worlds and max out my

into the night.

The entrance to Fengyue Valley was quiet.

This was originally a dangerous place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as the people inside occupied the high ground on the inner side, anyone who wanted to come in would have to face a pile of falling rocks first.

Falling rocks can also serve to divide the battlefield.

However, after getting used to committing crimes, this gang of robbers lost their vigilance.

They believed that as long as they didn't infringe on the interests of any of the Western Region kingdoms, they could do whatever they wanted.

Compared to the warriors on the plateau, these people in the Western Regions seem more like cowards.

At this moment, the two bandits assigned to guard the area were fast asleep, leaning against the stone wall.

Dark shadows surged in the distance, and the sound of shoes crunching on the fine sand was drowned out by the wind across the Gobi Desert.

Occasionally, the howling of wolves could be heard in the distant night sky.

After Jiang Tian approached the sleeping robber, he made a hand gesture to his teammates.

The other man nodded, pulled a dagger from his pocket, and approached the other robber.

puff.

With the sound of a dagger slicing through throats, the two robbers quietly passed away.

After dealing with the sentry post at the entrance, Jiang Tian explored the surrounding environment to ensure that there were no more hidden sentries at the entrance.

He then took out the flashlight the general had given him and shone it twice behind him.

After a signal was sent back from behind, a rustling sound came from all around, the sound of riveted armor rings colliding as people walked.

Li Wen's surprise attack tactical concept is very simple:

A regular army beats a ragtag bandit gang; a large army beats a small army; armored soldiers beat unarmored soldiers.

Overwhelm the enemy with superior combat power.

This can be said to be the easiest battle the Anxi army fought after entering the Western Regions.

But it was also the battle in which Li Wen had the highest expectations.

The Anxi army must achieve absolute dominance and engage in battle with no casualties.

As a renowned general, Li Wen understood best that the most effective tactics were the simplest and easiest to execute.

Information on the battlefield changes in an instant, and soldiers are constantly fighting for their lives with the enemy. They don't have much time or energy to execute complex tactics.

Being able to leverage your strengths to deliver a decisive blow to the enemy demonstrates your superior tactics.

Li Wen sat on his horse, watching the scene in the distance. Even though his brain told him that the Anxi army would win this battle, his body still couldn't help feeling anxious.

Images of the Anxi army's past fierce battles flashed through Li Wen's mind, making him even more nervous.

Now that the Anxi army no longer needs to be cannon fodder, and everyone will soon be able to live a good life, he doesn't want anyone to fall behind.

"General, Chief Chiang has given the signal."

His bodyguard reminded him.

When Li Wen saw the flashlight signal coming from afar, most of his tension subsided.

The signal sent by Jiang Tian indicated that his elite troops had fully entered the valley.

This is also the most important member of Li Wen's battle plan.

As long as the elite vanguard of the Anxi army can silently approach the main force of the bandits, the scales of victory will tilt completely in the favor of the Anxi army.

"Keep up."

Li Wen led the remaining 700 men slowly toward the direction of Fengyue Valley. Once the sounds of battle could be heard from inside, the Anxi army would then encircle them in a fan-shaped formation.

This would give the bandit group the illusion that they still had a way out, and that they would not fight desperately against the powerful Anxi army, but would choose to flee for their lives.

They will only realize after they have escaped that they have fallen into a larger encirclement.

In this way, reducing the bandits' desire to fight to the death can also lower the probability of casualties among Anxi soldiers.

Li Wen chose to attack today not simply because the equipment had arrived, but because the intelligence he had gathered indicated that today was the most relaxed day for this group of bandits.

This gang of bandits had a habit of holding a bonfire feast two days before their operation, where they would gather all the looted supplies and have a good time.

After enjoying their carefree days, the members will work even harder in subsequent battles in order to continue to enjoy this lifestyle.

Wine, meat, and women became the themes of this bonfire feast.

Fengyue Valley is very large, and in addition to the main road, there are also many passages near the river.

Jiang Tian, ​​wearing specially made armor produced by the factory, walked at the front.

From afar, he saw flashes of fire and heard a man laughing.

Amidst the laughter and merriment, the faint wails of a woman could be heard.

"superior."

Jiang Tian said in a low voice, and then he took the lead and began to slowly accelerate.

The rest of the elite soldiers followed Jiang Tian.

Their pace was perfectly synchronized; they first walked briskly, then jogged closer, each dragging a long knife as they rapidly approached the bonfire feast area.

The flames in the center of the arena were so intense that they made the surrounding space even darker.

Not to mention that these bandits had long since lost their vigilance; their attention was entirely on the banquet, scrambling for the limited amount of roasted meat.

What was that sound?

A drunken bandit was resting on the outer perimeter when he heard the muttering voice again.

He thought he was hallucinating from drinking too much, and shook his head as he tried to get up to urinate. But as soon as he turned around, he felt a blur in his vision.

Why are there so many people? Am I drunk?

The robber rubbed his eyes, thinking that his eyes were not used to the dark environment and he was seeing a hallucination.

After he rubbed his eyes, he realized it wasn't a hallucination; the figure in his eyes became clearer and clearer.

When he saw the face of the person in front of him, he was shocked! Just as he was about to open his mouth, he felt a flash of light on his neck, and then he fell to the ground with a thud, his body convulsing.

"kill."

Jiang Tian's orders were also very simple.

He led the charge into the crowd, hacking at anyone he saw.

The remaining elite troops of the Anxi Army had already made tactical arrangements.

Form small groups of three to five people, or small teams of three to five people, to work together to provide cover and engage in combat, and absolutely avoid being reckless or greedy for personal gain.

The soldiers of the Anxi army did not need to behead the bandit leaders; they only needed to kill all the bandits they could see.

"Enemy attack!!!"

"There are enemies!!!!"

"Kill them!!!"

The Anxi army soldiers rushed into the chicken coop like a pack of hungry wolves, causing chaos and commotion before the bandits finally began to howl in pain.

When many bandits heard of an enemy attack, they would fiercely grab their weapons, stand up, and search for the enemy, wanting to vent their anger on the one who had disturbed their pleasure.

They found themselves facing a group of burly, armored, and helmeted elite Anxi soldiers.

Even when some bandits resorted to desperate fighting tactics, they were unable to inflict effective damage on these Anxi soldiers.

Whether they attacked the torso or the limbs, the bandits despairingly discovered that they could not inflict any effective damage.

The soldiers of the Anxi Army were elites who had survived the meat grinder of the battlefield, and they gave the bandits no chance to make amends.

A single slash was enough to severely injure the robber.

Not to mention the joint operations that the general emphasized in this operation, with small groups and squads providing mutual cover for each other.

To the robbers' further despair, it wasn't long before more footsteps echoed in the distance.

Although the remaining Anxi army was larger in number, because they lacked armor protection, Li Wen ordered them to advance slowly in formation, ensuring that the bandits would not have a chance to fight one-on-one.

Now, Jiang Tian's elite squad has infiltrated the bandit camp. Protected by armor, the bandits are no match for them.

No matter how skilled an individual is in martial arts, they are doomed when facing armor.

Not to mention that even in terms of individual soldier quality, the Anxi army could easily overwhelm the bandit gangs.

This is Li Wen's fighting style: using all my strengths to attack your broken touch.

The original military strategy of Li Wen, combined with his current "fear of insufficient firepower," has formed the current set of concepts.

This is similar to a battle between cultivators of different levels in a cultivation novel, except that a Foundation Establishment cultivator is fighting a Qi Refining cultivator of a higher level, and the key is to be stable.

"Run!"

It's unclear who started it, but the bandit group itself had no supervisors, and people began to abandon their weapons and flee.

Amid the chaos, some bandits attempted to steal, taking advantage of the darkness to hide in places without firelight.

Li Wen was prepared and had purchased several high-powered flashlights in advance.

The team responsible for making recommendations had someone specifically tasked with illuminating dark areas with a powerful flashlight, instantly revealing any bandits trying to hide.

Most people still chose to resist because many of them knew how horrific the things they had done were, and that surrendering would probably not end well either.

However, their desperate resistance was completely futile.

With superior equipment and individual soldier quality, the soldiers of the Anxi Army completely trusted Li Wen and resolutely executed his tactics.

Even though the push went very smoothly, no one broke out of formation to press their advantage.

Not to mention, the Anxi army also had a numerical advantage.

Under Jiang Tian's leadership, the bonfire banquet turned into a bloody feast.

The remaining bandits who were still fighting quickly lost their last remaining will to fight.

despair.

It's absolutely hopeless!

They were surrounded by impenetrable walls, and even if they wanted to fight desperately, they couldn't inflict any wounds on their opponents.

The armor may look somewhat comical, but its protective capabilities are exceptional.

Breaking out to the surrounding areas is also not an option.

There are even more enemies on the outskirts, wielding special "torches" that can tear through the night, leaving nowhere to hide.

Only a few who chose to run away at the beginning were able to slip out through the river exit at the rear.

However, Li Wen had also arranged for the Black Stone Tribe to lay an ambush, and any bandits who tried to escape were shot dead.

Li Wen was still somewhat nervous about this battle, which was supposed to be a foregone conclusion.

He was afraid something unexpected might happen.

Even if the casualty ratio is 300 to 1, as long as the Anxi army suffers a single loss, Li Wen will feel that he has lost out.

He couldn't risk the lives of his men to exchange for those bandits.

After the battle, Jiang Tian led his armored soldiers to cooperate with the soldiers in formation to search the corners.

The Anxi army must ensure that there are no bandits in any corner.

The remaining people interrogated the thirty-odd bandits who had surrendered.

Li Wen's method of identifying individuals was simple: interrogate each person individually, confront anyone whose testimony didn't match, and if evidence was presented that the other party was lying, then execute them directly.

If neither of them can produce evidence, then they should both be attacked.
