บท 120: Chapter 189 Commander Ke Vs. Lun Hu
On the first day of battle, the two commanders on Baron's side were tasked with taking care of Lun Hu, perhaps the most difficult of the four all-stars of Lian Po. Though the two of them outnumbered Lun Hu by about 3:1, they would need to perform their best if they wanted to have even a chance of taking him down. That was why Baron, Zhang Da Zhi, and the two of them agreed that this battlefield would be the most important one out of all of them and that this required the most care put into it.
It was decided that Roxi would be these guys since they were not that confident in taking down Lun Hu, as such the battle that they would be fighting would have a high ground for Roxi to showcase her skills. Hence the mountain that they were fighting right next to.
Roxi had been training a squad of snipers for a few months now, and even though they were nowhere near as skilled as her, they were good enough to be able to hit somewhat accurately at their position on the mountain if the enemy troops were all bundled together. She had given all of them an easier to handle sniper rifle, albeit a little less firepower, as the M82a1 that she was so accustomed to was not very beginner-friendly. That being said, she had them hide in between different parts of the mountain in groups of two so that one could do the shooting while the other would act as a lookout. There were 2,000 such soldiers under her command, and they would be a force to be reckoned with if they were even 50% accurate, sadly they were far from being so efficient.
The two commanders, commander Ke and commander Ba, had been fighting each other just before they both agreed to fight in Baron's battles and they had a pretty good grasp of each other's skills and strong suits. Commander Ke was far more proficient at offensive style maneuvers while commander Ba was more of a defense-heavy playstyle. They had 150,000 soldiers between them and even this was not enough for them to have confidence in facing Lun Hu. This was just how much Lun Hu's reputation had spread.
Commander Ba and Commander Ke had decided that they would organize their armies into two different groups, one for defense and one for the offense. Part of each armies' main forces was shifted towards the other and most strong forces were put under the direct control of Ke while the rest came under the control of Ba. This ended up leaving Ke with 90,000 soldiers under him while Ba had 60,000 that he could use for defensive maneuvers. Such a disparity did not matter to them if they could out a win in the face of the infamous Lun Hu.
Ke started the war by organizing 20,000 out of his 90,000 and dividing up further into 10 groups. 5 of these groups would have 3,000 infantrymen each and would be the front lines of their forces. Each group would advance right next to each other in a line separated by a few hundred meters. The other group of 5 1,000 men would come up in a line behind them plugging in the hole that the first line would be left open. There would be a couple of fighters in each group to test out whatever Lun Hu would be sent to fight this first attack.
These 20,000 soldiers marched out to the open field and once they were almost a quarter of the way to their enemy, Lun Hu finally reacted to this open invitation. Out came only a couple of hundred people in almost perfect unison on their own military jeeps that had a mounted machine gun mounted on the back portion of the car and they rushed towards the 20,000 that Ke had sent out to test the waters. Though neither commander Ke nor commander Ba were aware, the strategists on the front lines knew who was coming towards them. It was Lun Hu himself with an attachment of all fighters that were no joke.
There was no time to spare, the elite guards and fighter strategists on Ke's side held a quick meeting and decided hastily to have all the fighters go engage them in one group while all of the regular soldiers would take on everyone that the first group would not be able to fight. The fighters got into one group nearly 200 strong in the middle of their formation and braced for impact. Meanwhile, the soldiers that had followed them were ordered to split into two groups, both behind the first group and would try their best to shoot nonstop at the jeeps that would no doubt be hitting them from a distance.
The two sides clashed and it was apparent which side would eventually come out on top, it was Lun Hu's. After realizing this fact, Ke sent out some of his fastest vehicles to try and save the situation from being an utter and complete failure. An additional 5,000 men were sent to aid them. However, once the reinforcements came, the tide still did not go towards Ke's favor. Just before Ke decided to send another attachment to aid his front lines, the enemies disengaged even though they had the obvious upper hand.
Ke immediately had his battered and disorganized army retreat back to camp. He took the time to completely get his head straight on exactly what happened with the bizarre fight that had just happened in front of him. Some of his surviving strategists gave him some accounts of how they were so overwhelmingly overpowered that it was embarrassing. Only about 50 of the 200 fighters came back alive with 15,000 of the 25,000 soldiers. All they had to show for it was the death of only two hundred of the enemies' fighters.
