Chapter 407 Uncle Yuan Fang, What Do You Think?
The next day, in the morning.
Tang En and the others were still trying to escape, walking silently and carefully among the numerous barbarian teams like ghosts. When they encountered a suitable target, they would decisively ambush them with lightning, plunder them, and then quickly evacuate.
They are now truly alone, wandering in the mountains without hearing anything about the outside world. Of course, Frey and others still had some guesses. Based on the continuous stream of barbarian teams, it means that somewhere, the Thunder Legion has put pressure on them, and the two sides should be in a state of accumulation of troops and fierce fighting.
Of course, even if they knew this, it would be of no use to their current situation, and they no longer cared about it later. But they didn't know that a huge creature brewing this turmoil was slowly approaching behind them...
…
In a certain area in the wilderness, on the mountain roads far and near, barbarians densely packed like ants are gradually advancing. If someone could look down at this area from the sky, he would find that this is the case on many surrounding mountain roads. If you look closely, you will see that the composition of this behemoth army is very complicated. There are all kinds of tribal barbarians, and there are even some yellow-haired beings in it.
These barbarians were not in a hurry. Judging from the direction, they were not heading towards the southern checkpoint, but towards the east. The route they chose was roughly the same as that of a certain escape team ahead.
The most conspicuous place of the middle army is undoubtedly the central position, where there are about a dozen people who look like high-ranking military officials accompanying the army. And the reason why they are conspicuous is because the mounts under them are all green-haired giant wolves.
These giant wolves are tall and strong. Although they are not as tall as horses, judging from the flexibility of their limbs and the sharp fangs that appear from time to time, their ferocious attacks are undoubtedly far superior to those of the former.
Riding in the position of the alpha wolf was a young man with a lazy look on his face. He was undoubtedly a barbarian, but apart from his tall and strong physique, he was somewhat similar to the Bran people. The body is also covered with animal skins, but it is not the simple animal skins put together by ordinary barbarians. This is for sure, after all, his status is not low no matter how you look at it. However, there is something wrong with his taste. The furry animal skin on his body can be seen to be very expensive just by looking at it, but he simply dug out five holes to expose his head and limbs, and his waist I tied it with a straw stalk instead of a belt, giving me a rather desolate look.
Now he looked very sleepy, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and his palms were unconsciously running along the fur of the wolf's back, as if he had just been pulled out of sleep and was now dozing off. But of course he couldn't sleep, because next to him was a middle-aged barbarian wearing high-end armor, who kept talking with a sad face.
"I still remain opposed to your tactics. I attacked dozens of levels at the same time... Well, I've already done this, so I won't talk about it. But what are we doing now? That's the Zichen Legion, guarding the border. Ziyi, who has not lost a single game in the past twenty years... Tiwu, I think Bran has a good saying, telling people to be self-aware. That is an opponent that even An Shuai has never defeated... …”
Despite the earnest persuasion, the team suddenly stopped, and the giant blue wolf also stopped its claws. The young man named Tiu was unprepared and leaned forward. With a start, he opened his confused eyes and looked around: "Well, what's going on?"
"Uh..." The middle-aged barbarian looked at the team in front and casually guessed, "Maybe the soldiers discovered something." Then the topic changed and he continued, "Where were you talking about... Oh, Zi Yi's fear……"
"Ahem!" Tiwu suddenly coughed twice at this time, his face straightened, and he read like an endorsement, "On the battlefield, the coach must concentrate on it, not be careless in the slightest, and not let go of any detail. Well. , I’m going to see what’s going on.”
When he finished speaking, he didn't feel at all that these words were contrary to his previous actions of dozing off, so he patted the wolf on the back. The giant cyan wolf actually nodded its huge wolf head in a very human-like manner. With a light leap of its huge body, it broke away from the team like it was possible to find a chance and trotted forward along the side of the mountain road.
"Hey, I haven't finished speaking yet..." Seeing this, the middle-aged barbarian certainly knew that the other party was about to run away. He sighed, and then drove the giant wolf under him to follow him.
In front of them were more than a hundred ordinary barbarian corpses, scattered in the middle and on both sides of the mountain road, completely petrified. At this time, the barbarian soldiers in front were dragging the corpses to both sides, gradually clearing the road.
For these corpses, neither the barbarians here nor Tiu who rushed there later on an excuse had no other associations. This is a battlefield, and it is normal for dead people to appear.
So after the middle-aged barbarian officer arrived, he started nagging Tiu who was staying at the front of the team and not going back. Suddenly.
boom! Ti Wu punched his palm with a solemn expression: "We started the attack the day before yesterday. How could there be a corpse here? Well, there must be some conspiracy here. What do you think, Uncle Yuan Fang?"
Before the middle-aged barbarian named Yuan Fang came to his senses, Tiu showed a look of fear and stared uneasily at the hills on both sides: "Maybe the Bran people have laid an ambush here, and when we run into it, well, they will definitely. That’s right. Then, whoever, hurry up and go to the lower wings to keep them alert and see if there is anything similar there.”
The few barbarians who were pointed out looked puzzled and did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly ran towards the hills on both sides. However, the middle-aged barbarian named Yuan Fang obviously saw through this little trick to change the topic. This situation is a bit surprising, but what can it mean that there are only more than a hundred corpses? And it’s unclear when these corpses were left behind. To take a step back, even if there were really Bran people around, looking at their huge momentum, who would dare to come up and ambush them? Isn't this courting death...
The corner of his mouth twitched twice, and Yuan Fang continued to chatter, "...Now the Thunder Legion's defense line has been completely crushed by us. As long as we continue to fight, even if they cannot be eliminated, they will not be able to form support for other battlefields. In this way, , our previous tactical purpose has been achieved... In short, I am opposed to you provoking the Zichen Army..."
"Ah..." At this time, Tiwu held his head and roared, then kept waving his hands, finally stopped changing the subject, raised his thumb, and said with a wry smile, "Uncle Yuan Fang, I have completely lost to you! I thought that old guy An Shuai's constant teachings were enough to be annoying, but I didn't expect you to be even more ruthless!"
After a pause, he shook his head feebly, "Okay, okay. I'll tell you my thoughts... Well, first of all, has Ziyi ever been defeated?"
Yun Fang was stunned when he heard this, and said subconsciously: "Zi Yi has been guarding the border for decades without any defeat..."
"It's not these crappy sayings." Tiwu spread his hands, "Let's put it this way, Ziyi has been leading troops to fight since he was a teenager, and now he must be thirty or forty years old. In the past few decades, from From a small soldier to a marshal, he must have been defeated before, right?"
This time Yuan Fang did not refute, the truth was this. If you look into it carefully, the so-called victory in every battle is just a halo. There are still generals with this halo, whether they are Bran or Beihuang. The only difference is that Ziyi's winning rate is too high, completely covering up his few defeats.
"Why don't you say anything... Well, then I'll take it as your acquiescence. Let me ask you again, have I ever been defeated?" Tiwu pointed at himself and asked with pride.
"Failed." Yuan Fang nodded immediately without thinking.
"Huh?" Tiwu's eyes widened and he opened his mouth, his face full of absurdity. "Uncle Yuanfang, I know you have always been against me. But people have to speak according to their conscience. When have I ever been defeated?"
Yuan Fang spread his hands and said with a sure look on his face: "Who doesn't know in Beihuang that you have never defeated His Highness in tactical deductions?"
"..." Tiwu was stunned for a moment, then slapped his forehead heavily and said feebly, "Drop...that perverted woman! Okay, what I'm talking about is, have I ever been defeated since I led the army?" After a pause , let’s explain, “Well, what she said was just talk on paper, it doesn’t count. And I usually let her do it, but I didn’t actually show much skill... Uh, what’s your expression?”
Curling his lips and putting away his contemptuous expression, Yuan Fang pondered for a while and nodded slowly, "Well, you have never been defeated...but that doesn't mean anything. How many battles have you fought? There is no comparison with Zi Yi."
"I really don't understand what it is like for you to embolden other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige... Stop talking, stop talking, I know it's because I'm shallow, it's because I've never suffered a loss, I was wrong..." Stop the desire Yuan Fang stopped talking, Ti Wu was obviously relieved, and continued, "Now, in this case, you see, Zi Yi claims to have never lost in his life, but in fact he has lost, which shows that he also has weaknesses. , can also be defeated. And what about me? I have never... Oh, I have never lost since I led the army. Is this important enough to give it a try? "
"but……"
He waved his hand to interrupt, "Listen to me. Well, I won't suffer a loss in this attempt. Think about it, if it succeeds... I know this may be a small thing, but it is still there after all. Once it is successful, this pressure will The mountains that have been in our northern wilderness for decades will suddenly collapse, and the entire northern part of Bran will become a pasture where we can let our horses roam freely. Oh, it’s really exciting just thinking about it!”
The words changed, "If I fail, I am a nobody, so I won't lose anything. And as you often say, I can still suffer a loss and mature faster... Well, I know you What do you want to say? You are worried about me and this team being wiped out, right? Ha, don’t worry, I have a trump card here, but I can’t tell you. What I can guarantee is that when the critical moment comes, I will bring it in advance. Let everyone come out."
"The trump card?" Yuan Fang looked at the confident Ti Wu suspiciously, clearly showing that he still didn't believe it.
"Oh, it's true! Only a few people know this news, and Commander An also knows it, otherwise he would let me lead the army alone? Don't worry, don't worry, don't look at my usual nonchalant look, in fact I am also very afraid of death , as long as there is any danger, I will lead you to run away first..."
Seeing that Uncle Yuan Fang was a little moved, Tiwu was eloquent, and the more he spoke, the more energetic he became, trying to convince the other party in one fell swoop. But at this moment, the few barbarians who had been sent out under the pretext ran back sweating profusely.
"S-Sir, we encountered more than a hundred corpses blocking the road over there..." "Same here..."
"Uh..." (To be continued.)
