Luo Shixin knew very well- the first test for him as a division commander was how to unite the five young generals by his side.
Perhaps this division's training would be an opportunity.
In the blink of an eye, the situation on the battlefield changed again.
The second brigade underestimated the enemy, and unknowingly fell into the wolf pack's encirclement. Add to that the sudden increase in the number of wolves and the pressure on them increased, and they fell into a tough battle.
Luo Shixin waved his flag and ordered the fifth brigade to reinforce the second brigade, saving them from the wolf pack. Sun Chuanlin received the order and directed his soldiers to the west, concentrating on killing the wolves there.
The dense rain of arrows caused heavy casualties to the wolf pack, and Sun Tengjiao seized the opportunity to break out of the encirclement. After a while, the second brigade was forced back to their original position, suffering quite a number of casualties.
The medic team immediately went up and carried the injured soldiers to the center for simple bandages.
Luo Shixin was sure that there was an alpha wolf commanding the wolves from behind. Otherwise, the wolves wouldn't be able to advance and retreat so strategically, even knowing how to divide and surround them.
The key to defeating the wolf pack was to find the alpha wolf.
However, the sea of wolves was a sea of grey as far as the eye could see, and they were all the same in size. In his eyes, every wolf looked the same, so how was he supposed to tell which one was the alpha?!
Luo Shixin changed his mindset. The alpha wolf was a commander, just like him. Imagine, if he was the alpha wolf, where would he hide?
With this question in mind, Luo Shixin carefully observed the wolf pack's movements.
Tens of thousands of ferocious wolves surrounded the army in circles and fought with the army. The scene was extremely explosive. In the sky, wolf heads streaked across in an endless stream, as if it was raining wolf heads.
The plan to surround the second brigade failed, and the wolves made a new move.
They began to target the first brigade.
Just like the second brigade, the first brigade fought in units of platoons. Fortunately, Lin Yi was more experienced than Sun Tengjiao, and didn't make the mistake of underestimating the enemy.
Even so, the first brigade was made up of real heavy cavalry, and they weren't built for long battles. Prolonged battles were a huge test for the horses' stamina. Slowly, the soldiers began to show signs of fatigue and their attacks slowed down.
The wolves were so sharp that they immediately sensed the enemy's weakness and waited for an opportunity to strike. The wolves on the other three sides quietly gathered towards the north.
Luo Shixin smiled coldly and thought to himself, "I've finally caught you!
With a wave of the command flag, the Second and Fourth Brigades moved to the north from the east and west respectively, while the Fifth Brigade remained in place. Luo Shixin led his personal guard camp and charged out, heading straight for the northernmost area.
The soldiers of the personal guard camp had been holding back their energy for a long time. Seeing the division commander give the order, they charged towards the north like a herd of wild horses. All the wolves that blocked their way were turned into meat paste.
Luo Shixin took the lead and charged out. He purposely showed off his skills in front of the generals, using the Steel Overlord Spear in his hand to show off its might. With a sweep of the spear, the wolf's skull was shattered on the spot, its brain juices splattering everywhere.
The generals were overwhelmed with shock. One had to know that skulls were the hardest, not to mention that they were used to sweep.
Luo Shixin's spear skills were amazing, and with his unparalleled strength in the sky, he was truly the reincarnation of an overlord, a true hero. Lin Yi and the other generals couldn't even catch up to him.
Luo Shixin was truly terrifying when he used his full strength. The wolves saw his power and arranged for hundreds of wolves to surround and attack him. Luo Shixin wasn't afraid at all. With a sweep of his spear to the left and right, he immediately cleared half of the area. He was truly invincible.
Even so, the wolves were still fearless. After one wave died, another wave charged forward. It was as if there was something extremely important behind the wolves that they needed to protect with their lives.
Seeing this, Luo Shixin was even more confident and resolutely charged forward. The large number of wolves couldn't stop him at all. How ferocious was he? The Steel Overlord Spear in his hand whistled as he wielded it, bringing up puddles of blood and brain juices. The scene was extremely heroic.
Seeing their general's power, the soldiers couldn't help but cheer in unison.
At this time, the morale of the entire army was at its highest. A group of hot-blooded men, under Luo Shixin's lead, forcefully split the wolves in half, and finally broke through the encirclement of the wolves.
Luo Shixin took the lead. When he finished off the last batch of wolves, a strange scene appeared in front of him, making him dumbfounded.
Behind the pack of wolves, a tall wild wolf stood there, motionless. This wild wolf, other than being a little bigger, had no other special features.
The most special thing was the white wolf lying on the head of the wild wolf.
The wolf cub was the size of a cat, and its fur was pure white, without a single blemish. What was more special was that pair of eyes, it was really extraordinarily spirited. At first glance, even the eyes of a normal person wouldn't be as vivid and lifelike. It was really full of spirituality.
"Division Commander, could it be that the one commanding the wolves is this little wolf cub?" Su Wang, the personal guard beside Luo Shixin, said in disbelief.
"Heh, I can't be wrong. Think about it, ordinary wolves don't have such spirited eyes." If it was in the past, Luo Shixin wouldn't have believed in the existence of spirit beasts. It was not until he came to Shanhai County and saw the guardian beast of Shanhai County, Nian, that he realized how big the world was.
"Then, should we kill it?" Su Wang couldn't bear to kill it.
"No." Luo Shixin shook his head and said, "This kind of spirit beast is extremely rare. It would be a pity to kill it. Capture it and bring it back to the Marquis. I'm sure Third Miss will like it very much. "
"Hehe, Division Commander, why are you flattering the Marquis?" Su Wang said with a smile.
"Go, go, go!" Luo Shixin was embarrassed into anger. "Hurry up and capture it. If it escapes, you'll be held responsible."
"Yes, Division Commander!" Su Wang straightened up and led the personal guards to surround the white wolf cub.
At this moment, the wolf pack seemed to have gone crazy, recklessly charging towards the north. Luo Shixin was even more certain that the white wolf was the commander of the wolf pack, mobilizing the army to block the wolf pack outside.
Seeing that victory was in sight, the soldiers did not dare to slack off. They used all their strength to fight the wolf pack's final frenzy.
Fortunately, although Su Wang was usually mischievous, he was not careless when it came to handling matters. He captured the white wolf in a few moves. The little fellow was intelligent, but its martial strength was not that great. It was no different from an ordinary wolf cub.
However, the wild wolf that served as the white wolf's mount died tragically in the hands of the personal guards.
After being captured, the white wolf was not afraid. Its pair of watery eyes curiously sized up Luo Shixin and the others. The hearts of these iron-blooded men were about to melt.
Luo Shixin took the little white wolf from Su Wang's hands and lifted it by the neck. He suspended the little white wolf in the air and said, "Little guy, I know you can understand what I'm saying. Let those wolves retreat, don't make unnecessary sacrifices."
The little fellow glanced at Luo Shixin, scratched its little head with its little claws, stared at its calves, turned its head, and called out to the wolf pack in a childish voice, "Awooo ~ ~ ~"
"Pfft!" Luo Shixin tried hard to hold back his laughter.
Such a cute voice really did not match the little fellow's status. More importantly, the little fellow's voice was not loud. Luo Shixin wondered if the wolf pack could hear its voice.
The next scene made Luo Shixin and the others' jaws drop.
The wolf pack that was fighting desperately a moment ago suddenly stopped. The wolf pack reluctantly looked in the direction of the white wolf, then turned and left one after another.
In an instant, the wolf pack retreated like the tide, and soon disappeared. It really came and went without a trace.
Luo Shixin breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally taken it down. What puzzled him was that there was no notification from the sky that the trial was over, and the portal did not appear.
He did not dare to be careless. He ordered the troops to form a defensive formation and wait for the next wave of enemies.
Sure enough, before the Second Division could recover, there was another change in the grassland.
Fire broke out out of thin air in the east, south, and west. Then a strong wind blew out of thin air, and the fire quickly spread with the help of the wind, turning the grassland into a sea of fire.
The soldiers had never seen such a spectacle, and there was a commotion in the troops. Luo Shixin was the calmest. He ordered the army to shrink the line of defense and prepared to retreat to the north, the only place that was not on fire.
At this moment, the rumbling sound of hooves suddenly came from the north, which seemed to be the safest.
Luo Shixin snorted. He knew that things would not be so simple. He ordered the divisions not to panic, and to seize the time to reorganize the front line before the fire spread, and not to retreat to the north in a swarm.
After a while, a black line came from the north. It was tens of thousands of grassland cavalry. The cavalry came whistling, accompanied by bursts of whistling, and actually surrounded the soldiers of the Second Division as prey.
Luo Shixin smiled coldly. The courageous won in a narrow encounter. The Second Division had no way out. If they wanted to survive, they had to break through the grassland cavalry's interception.
He placed the First and Second Brigades in the middle of the army, the Third and Fourth Brigades as the left and right wings, and the Fifth Brigade as the vanguard. After the army was deployed, they took the lead to charge.
"Kill!" This time, Luo Shixin still took the lead, charging at the front with his personal guard battalion.
The rumbling sound of hooves exploded in the grassland, like stormy waves.
Surrounded by the sea of fire, the two cavalry units fought with their backs to the wall, and charged toward the enemy.
The first to come into contact with the enemy was the Fifth Brigade, acting as the vanguard. The two sides began to compete with crossbows on their horses. Compared to the grassland cavalry, the archery of the Fifth Brigade was a little worse, but fortunately, they were equipped with crossbows.
The crossbow was specially developed for the cavalry by the Crossbow Department. It was light, fast, and could be pulled with one hand. It was extremely sharp. What was sacrificed was a little advantage in range. Even so, the modified crossbow still had a better range than the bow.
The vast rain of arrows intertwined in the air, colliding with each other, trying to kill the enemy.
Luo Shixin's decisiveness gave the Second Division the upper hand. The grassland cavalry obviously did not expect the other side to take the initiative to attack, and were caught off guard. (To be continued.)
