Chapter 409 The Eagle Catches the Chick!
The way barbarians eat is relatively simple, and there is no need to light a fire or heat anything. Just bite the pieces of meat that were either dried or bloody and swallow them whole. So not long after, the team set off again. Immediately afterwards, Ti Wu and Yuan Fang discovered that there was no way to honor their bet...
After walking for about half an hour, they unexpectedly ran into the barbarian team that had been sent out to encircle and suppress them. After further inquiries, it turned out that they did not wait for Bran's soldiers to arrive after completing the siege. Then several barbarian commanders discussed it and thought that the other party was lagging behind, so they turned back to retrieve it until they ran into the large army.
Tiwu was a little stunned when he heard this: "Uh, so fast?"
It's not surprising that he was confused, the encirclement he set earlier was not drawn randomly. The more than a hundred corpses found in the end were still warm, which meant that the other party was not far ahead. Although the Bran Level here has been captured, in order to cover up this team's intention to attack the Zichen Legion, there are still large and small teams continuing to attack the south, which objectively limits the opponent's escape speed. But even so, the people sent failed to surround the opponent?
Yuan Fang frowned: "Has the other party already discovered us and changed direction now?"
Tiwu's face darkened when he heard this. This situation was possible. And once that might come true, it's a little troublesome. Their intention to attack the Zichen Legion was very closely guarded, just to achieve the effect of a surprise attack. But if they are discovered by the other party, then there is a danger that this intention will be exposed. After all, this barbarian team is too large, and anyone can see that it is evil.
Of course, both Yuan Fang's frown and Ti Wu's dark expression were fleeting. This is just a little trouble, it can be solved by just killing the other party...
"It's interesting." Tiwu licked his lips. There were still blood stains from lunch on his teeth. He stroked his palms and chuckled, "Haha, in this case, let's just play it big and fight. The warm-up in front is done... Pass my order, and the pursuit teams will be sent out from the outermost left and right routes, advancing at full speed in an arc, forming a thirty-mile encirclement."
After a pause, "Tsk, I need a combat code name... Well, the eagle catches the little [***]."
"Uh...yes!"
As mentioned before, this barbarian team is too large. If they all gather on a narrow mountain road, it will undoubtedly slow down the team's progress, and it will be inconvenient to convey orders and so on. Therefore, there are many branch teams on the many mountain roads on both sides of Tiwu Middle Road. Now let the outermost teams on the left and right send soldiers to pursue them in an arc and form a thirty-kilometer encirclement, which should be able to contain the opponent.
And it has to be said that Tiu's joke-like combat code name is also very vivid. The pursuit teams on the left and right sides are like the two wings of an eagle. When these wings are gathered together, they can form an airtight encirclement. At that time, the eagle heads in the middle or other lanes can peck and attack, annihilating the opponent in one fell swoop.
When the order was given, Tiu did not hesitate and led the middle team to follow up at full speed. And in order to prevent the other party from taking advantage of the loopholes and going around behind them, each team also sent out a large number of scouts around them to carefully inspect the hills and ravines.
It would naturally take a lot of time to form a thirty-kilometer encirclement.
An hour passed without any news from the other party, so Tiu frowned slightly.
An hour and a half later, there was still no movement, and Tiwu's face looked a little gloomy.
Two hours later, well, they had already met with the soldiers surrounding them on the left and right sides, leaning over to catch their breath. The two sides were staring at each other from dozens of meters apart...
"Grass!" Bang! Kicking the rocks on the roadside to pieces, Tiwu scratched his hair, his expression a little tangled, "What the hell...what's going on? Did it fly?"
For a full thirty miles of encirclement, as long as the opponent is not a birdman, it is impossible to escape from the encirclement. Not to mention, they also have to evade the large and small teams attacking the Thunder Legion.
At this time, Yuan Fang, who seemed to have received some news from the scouts not far away, rushed over, "Tiwu, about an hour ago, a sentry on the left periphery was ambushed, with 200 casualties. Well, they rushed out ”
The so-called encirclement naturally does not mean that the team just walks through it. In order to prevent the opponent from playing time lag, some soldiers will be left as sentries at intervals along the way to patrol the left and right sides.
Tiwu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Haha, we finally caught their whereabouts... How many people are there on the other side?"
Shaking his head, Yuan Fang's mouth twitched, and he said bitterly: "I don't know, there are only two hundred people in all the sentries. This means that the entire army has been wiped out..."
"Huh?" Tiwu blinked and was stunned. Then he suddenly turned around, grabbed the commander of the team on the left, and roared angrily, "How the hell did you arrange the sentry? It was pulled out an hour ago, and you didn't receive it. information!"
"I, I, I..." The barbarian commander was stunned and stammered, "I set up sentries every five miles according to the standard..."
"Okay, Tiwu." Yuan Fang's face darkened a little, and he raised his right hand. The fur on the animal skin on his arm was blown aside by the biting cold wind, "It's not entirely his fault, it's also our negligence...I It just occurred to me that the wind in the mountains is unpredictable and unpredictable. Now the wind direction is north, and the sentries on both sides cannot hear the fighting there."
"Wind direction..." Tiwu pushed the barbarian commander away, frowning, thoughtfully. Who would have thought that this small objective factor would actually become an opportunity for the opponent to break through... His face turned solemn, he stepped on the green-haired giant wolf next to him, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Let's go and have a look at that guard post. Well, I think I can count on it." Something was wrong..."
…
The running speed of the giant green wolf is very terrifying. No matter whether it is rugged mountain roads or mountains and ravines, it cannot have any impact on them. Whether it's a sudden stop or a turn, or a light jump, any obstacle can be easily overcome.
Ten minutes later, Tiwu and others arrived at the guard post. This place has been surrounded by barbarians, more than two hundred corpses are lying in place, and several Dark Snake Guards are passing through to inspect.
Waving his hand to interrupt the commander who came up to salute, Tiu looked around and quickly ordered: "Send someone to search the surroundings carefully to find the grave of Bran's soldiers."
"Ah, ah?"
He roared violently: "Go!"
"Yes Yes!"
"Tomb, grave pit... Tiwu, what's wrong?" Yuan Fang Qulang stepped forward and asked in surprise.
Tiwu sniffed, his eyes flashing, "Before, I thought the opponent just had a numerical advantage... But when surrounded, he could calmly look for flaws, borrow the inconspicuous wind direction, and finally make a decisive breakthrough! And we To actually get the news only an hour later... I suspect this is an elite Bran team."
After a pause, "Of course, it's just suspicion now. But the Bran people have the habit of retiring to their graves, and there are rumors over there that we have the bad habit of cannibalism. Human flesh is so sour, who would eat it unless they were forced to a certain amount?" That thing... So even if the situation is urgent now, they will definitely bury the fallen soldiers. And based on this number, we can almost judge whether they are an elite team."
"Here, found it!"
As soon as Tiu finished speaking, in the lee of the roadside mound, a barbarian suddenly screamed in surprise in vague Bran language.
"Ha!" Tiwu was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately stepped off the wolf's back and ran over. Yuan Fang was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously followed him.
Tiu's expectation was good. The other party indeed buried the remains of the fallen soldiers. And in such a hurry, the other party obviously didn't care about choosing a place, etc. He just dug a grave and buried it nearby.
With the cooperation of dozens of barbarians, the body of a soldier wearing Bran's standard armor was lifted out of the hole and placed on the ground.
"Thunder Legion." He stepped forward and leaned over to carefully identify the armor style of a corpse. Tiwu nodded, his expression relaxed, and he murmured in a low voice, "It's okay, okay, I thought it was the elite soldiers of the Zichen Legion passing by. …”
"What! That's all?"
Tiwu raised his head and saw Uncle Yuan Fang's face full of shock, and his tone was incredible: "Impossible! Keep looking for me." He stood up and turned around, looking at the number of Bran soldiers being carried out, Tiwu looked startled, and then He stroked his forehead and said, "As expected..."
There were only more than twenty corpses of Bran soldiers on the ground, but there were two hundred corpses of tribal warriors lying on the mountain road over there... Comparing the two, I have to say that this is really a huge irony.
"Uncle, forget it, stop looking." Tiwu held down Yuan Fang, who was looking a little excited, and shook his head, "In this case, they will not dig a second hole."
Yuan Fang was silent when he heard the words. Of course he understood this. He just couldn't accept the pitiful sight of two hundred tribal warriors who could only leave more than twenty soldiers of the other side.
"Huh..." Taking a deep breath, Tiwu looked at the endless hills in the north, frowning slightly and looking a little hesitant.
After all, Yuan Fang is a middle-aged man with rich experience. After calming down quickly, he guessed what Ti Wu was thinking by looking at Ti Wu's expression. He pondered for a while and shook his head: "They may not know our intentions. There is no need to worry about them." waste time."
The situation is obvious now. The other party clearly knows about their existence, but it is hard to say whether they can guess their intentions. If not, that is naturally the best. If so, then their raid on the Zichen Legion would have some uncertain risks.
Yuan Fang knew Tiwu's character very well. He was a man who looked crazy, but was actually somewhat arrogant. Now that the opponent has broken his decision twice, it must have aroused his competitive spirit. And once he makes a decision, he will never look back. So he persuaded us again: "The checkpoint has been captured by us. If we are not mistaken, these deserters must want to pass through this wilderness. This is consistent with our direction, so we only need to pay a little attention to prevent the other party from getting ahead. , and then mobilize the team here to carry out encirclement and suppression. In this way, even if he knows our intentions, he will not be able to notify us in time..."
Just as Yuan Fang was rambling on, Tiwu turned around and saw a barbarian scout running towards this side. As he approached here, he was stopped by a guard riding a giant blue wolf. After a few words of conversation, the scout was brought over.
"General Tiwu, ten miles behind the team, more than a hundred corpses were found again. Well, they were just killed."
"Just, just?" After being confirmed word by word, Tiwu suddenly grinned twice, clapped his palms, and said, "Haha, beautiful, so damn beautiful! Kill two hundred people here, go around to We will kill another hundred people later...Uncle Yuan Fang, do you see? This is a complete disregard for our existence. Haha, the courage is commendable, the courage is commendable, I appreciate it very much!"
Yuan Fang frowned when he saw this: "Ti Wu..."
Waving his hand, the previous hesitation disappeared. Tiwu scratched his head, and a kind of crazy emotion gathered in his eyes, "Oh, if you don't want to play with eagles and catch chicks, you have to force me to play with eagles and catch chicks! But! Since you want to play, then I will play with you once!"
"Send the order! The team will camp on the spot and wait for instructions. Also, bring me the terrain map here..."
