Chapter 411 Don’t Let Me Down Too Much... (Five Thousand)
In this season, it is undoubtedly a joyful thing to find a bear den in such a chaotic battlefield, especially for Tang En and others who are short of food.
Luke's detection was correct. They were indeed two adult black bears. They were not magical beasts, just ordinary animals. After a few people entered the cave that didn't smell very good, they found two black bears sleeping cuddled up on a haystack. They were probably a male and a female. The scene was really warm and touching... Tang En and others couldn't help sighing when they saw this. , then the fighting light flashed, and he stepped forward and chopped down with an axe...
For a fighting spirit warrior, as long as it is not a monster, it can still be easily defeated. Time was tight, so everyone dragged the two black bears out of the cave and immediately cut them into pieces. On average, each soldier could get two kilograms of meat. The fluffy black bear skin was not discarded. Tang En asked a few soldiers to roll it up and put it away.
After finishing all this quickly, everyone stopped delaying, changed the sharp arrow formation to a square matrix, and swarmed towards the west.
Just like Tang En said, there are tens of thousands of people on the other side. If they don't keep the distance, they will easily be surrounded by life and death. At this time, the gap between the soldiers can be seen. The spear-breaking camp was created by Frey, and some methods of gray space were also used for training. During the rush, although Frey consciously lowered the traveling speed, but gradually The formation of the team was inevitably stretched out, with the soldiers from the Epee Battalion and Tomahawk Battalion trailing behind.
Fortunately, they started early, and the speed of ordinary barbarians was not much faster than them, so they ran wildly for more than two hours until the evening, and the barbarians chasing after them failed to close the distance.
However, this advantage can only be maintained for so long. As the dusk gradually falls, the sight range of the members of Gray Space continues to shrink, and the team has to slow down.
Usually at this time, the team had already begun camping and resting, but the situation was different now. As long as there was still a glimmer of light, and as long as there were no problems with David's reconnaissance, they had to continue running. Of course, the barbarians behind also took the opportunity to get closer to the center.
Another hour passed, and Mi Xiu, who was sitting at the rear, retreated and told the barbarians that they were close to within ten miles of the team. At this point, the procession of the team ends. When David and others in front were scouting the surroundings, they had the purpose of finding hidden places, so as soon as the team stopped, Tang En directly pulled them over.
This is a connected hill with two hills. It is very close to several surrounding mountain roads and is not considered hidden in terms of terrain. But there is a pile of rocks in the middle of the adjacent hills. If you don't look closely, you won't notice that there is a ravine with a cave under the rocks, which is enough to hide hundreds of soldiers.
After settling down and ordering the soldiers to be silent, Tang En and the others climbed up the east hill. This hill is not high. At first glance, the view is blocked by the faint hills and trees, and there is no sign of the barbarians.
Looking up at the dim sky, Elt said hesitantly: "It seems to be getting dark a little faster today, isn't it because the weather is going to change?" The climate in the north is unpredictable, so it is normal for the weather to change. After finishing speaking, Elt clasped his hands together and said worriedly: "Bless me, God of Light, but please don't let it snow!"
The concern is valid. Snowflakes can hide everything, but they can also reveal traces. If it snows at this time, it will undoubtedly be a huge tragedy for this fleeing team that is already on the edge of the cliff.
Tang En and the others looked at each other in confusion after hearing this, and couldn't help but touch their foreheads feebly. Taka smiled bitterly and said: "I said we are unlucky enough now, Lao Ai. Can you say something nice? Well, have you ever heard of a crow's mouth?"
"Uh...cough..." Elt also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he coughed twice and turned his head silently in embarrassment.
Frey also looked up at the sky at this time, frowning slightly. He has been fighting on the front line for more than ten years and is naturally very familiar with the climate here. The weather is indeed a little abnormal now, but because it is approaching evening and the sky is dark, it is not easy to confirm for a while.
At this moment, Tang En's eyes suddenly narrowed and he whispered: "Here he comes!"
Frey and others shook their bodies and looked to the east at the same time. Among the many shadowy mountains, a spark suddenly appeared, floating up and down, moving slowly forward... a torch? Seeing this, Tang En felt relieved. Then his eyebrows were raised in an instant, and in his sight, around the torch, many sparks suddenly appeared, and more and more sparks appeared, spinning around non-stop.
I have to say that this scene is extremely spectacular and magnificent. It was as if the sky was dim and the stars with their dreamlike figures lost their opportunity to show off, so the stage was moved here.
Of course, just as beautiful roses always have thorns, this magnificent sight is no exception. After regaining consciousness for a moment, Elt and Taka took a deep breath and realized that every spark of fire represented a large barbarian team.
"Ha..." Tang En, on the other hand, looked around with squinted eyes, suddenly leaned back, and said with a happy smile. Frey's solemn expression on the side also relaxed slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the surprised looks of Erte and Erte, Tang En spread his hands and said with a smile: "Luckily, we are lucky, we met a respectable enemy coach." Pointing to the complicated light and shadow of torches below, "The team here is at least There are more than a hundred of them, haha, it’s clear that they want to search and encircle us, not simply and roughly crush us to death.”
The two Elts nodded at the same time after hearing this. Isn't this the reason? Then the stone in my heart slowly fell to the ground. Although the pressure is not gone, at least it is relieved a little.
"Okay, then it's up to you, Brother Tang En." Patting Tang En on the shoulder, Elt returned to his bold manner, "Don't put any pressure on me. At this point, I, Old Ai, have also looked away. Anyway, if you kill enough, life and death are just that."
"Not bad!" Taka nodded in agreement and smiled, "Haha, if it weren't for you, brother Tang En, my epee battalion would have been wiped out long ago. Now that I can fight side by side with the legendary Captain Frey, I, Taka, am satisfied .”
"Haha, don't say it so tragically...Besides, wouldn't it be more heroic to save these words to say before you die?" He joked casually, and the torches below were already approaching the hill, but of course they were not facing him. Those coming from this side will go around the surrounding mountain roads and continue to advance forward.
"Okay, go back and rest, let David and the others keep an eye on it." Seeing this, Tang En waved his hand, stepped back and stood up, "In order to prevent us from running out of this area, the other party will definitely continue to advance and spread. Well, I guess There shouldn’t be any action tonight.”
As speculated before, since the other party has chosen search and encirclement, they should not be in a hurry to take action. After all, it was pitch black. Although it was difficult for Tang En and the others to hide, it would not be easy for the other party to find them either.
Of course Frey and the others also understood this. They looked down and nodded, then retreated to the top of the mountain together.
…………
Of course, even though they knew that the other party was unlikely to take action, and that there would be no problems with David and the others watching, Elt and the others would not sleep well tonight. This is a more complicated and difficult situation than the previous few days. To put it bluntly, no one knows whether they can survive the next minute... Fortunately, there was no movement all night.
In the early morning of the next day, the soldiers who had slept lightly got up early. He didn't dare to light a fire, so he just sandwiched the blood-streaked meat slices with the remaining noodles and swallowed them in big gulps. After a few attempts, the traces were quickly cleared, and then all the soldiers gathered together and waited quietly for instructions.
I have to say, morale is a very strange thing. Although Elt and Taka did not publicize the current situation, the Bran soldiers were not fools. The abnormal behavior from yesterday to now all shows that the problem is serious. If it had been other Bran soldiers, or everyone from a few days ago, they might have collapsed under the pressure.
But now, although everyone is worried, they have not given up hope. The source of this hope is the legendary invincible Captain Frey! It was Tang En who looked playful and had no masterly demeanor but could lead them out of danger many times... Although neither of them were technically members of the Bran Army, they were now undoubtedly members of the public. The faith of Lan soldiers!
In addition, compared to Bran's soldiers, the soldiers who broke the camp with spears seemed much calmer. There is no way, they have been hunted down too many times and have long been used to it.
After Elt and Taka commanded the formation of their soldiers, they made some explanations, and then gathered together, looking at the somewhat groggy weather, they couldn't help but have a few worried discussions. Then I saw Tang En squatting on the ground, scratching and scratching with a branch. There was some dew residue on his shoulders and hair, as if he had been here for a long time. Frey stood aside and frowned, looking a little confused.
Seeing Tang En thinking about something, Elt and Taka did not dare to interrupt. They nodded and said hello to Frey, and then stood aside. After a while, the two Elts also frowned. Looking at the inexplicable and messy lines and circles on the ground, they finally understood Frey's doubts.
After a moment, Tang En finally threw away the branch, clapped his hands and stood up. Then he raised his eyebrows as if he just saw a few people around him, and said with a smile: "Haha, everyone is here, have you had breakfast... Oh, everything is ready, have the barbarians moved?"
"Uh, ate." He was stunned for a moment, obviously not used to this way of greeting, and Elt shook his head, "The barbarian... probably didn't move. He didn't see David and the others coming. Well, we are waiting for Brother Tang En Your instructions.”
"Oh, just wait." After rubbing his palms, Tang En explained, "We can only passively accept attacks now, so I won't move until the enemy can't move."
Elt nodded to express his understanding, then looked at the messy patterns on the ground and couldn't help but scratch his hair: "Brother Tang En got up so early... uh, just to draw this?"
"Not bad...can't you understand? Haha, it's a bit messy. Well, to put it simply, this is a topographic map of dozens of kilometers around!" As soon as he finished speaking, Tang En smiled when he looked at Frey and the others who looked up suddenly. He waved his hand and said, "Haha, don't look at me like that. I'm not that capable. Luke and the others collected these yesterday afternoon."
After a pause, looking at the sudden expressions on several people's faces, Tang En tapped the largest circle in the center with his toes, "We are free anyway, so let's talk about it first. Well, there are some places where everyone needs to cooperate. Look, this is us. The current position and the few small circles next to it are the sentries that the other party has set up around us. As for the other small circles on the outside, those are my random guesses about the positions of the other party's sentry posts. They are not accurate..."
"As for the lines, they are the possible trajectories of these sentry posts later. Well, it seems to be really messy! Haha, but chaos also has its advantages. You can fish in troubled waters. Of course, there is a premise... If the other party is motionless Stand at these sentry positions and seal off this area. Then we may be much more passive. We can only stay here and test the opponent's patience with our starvation level... Haha, I'm kidding. The opponent made such a big move last night, and they definitely won't We use this stupid method. Or we disdain to use it. After all, we are just inconspicuous ants in front of them. Well, this ant is just a little naughty..."
"So first of all, we can be sure that the opponent will definitely take the initiative to attack, and these sentries will definitely patrol their own areas according to the order. Of course, when I say this, it does not mean that we will take advantage of the opponent's move. It's just because we can't wait now. Well, if we are hit here, we will really be caught in a pot! The only thing we can use now is the intersection blind spot that will inevitably appear after the opponent moves! Well, to put it bluntly, this so-called The blind area is the narrow gap between areas! Well, for example, it is like two houses built together. Their backyards are not limited. In this case, of course everyone wants to occupy a larger area Some. But of course no one is convinced by anyone else, so in the end, the area in the middle becomes a fuzzy zone. Everyone wants to take care of it, but no one wants to take care of it... Haha, people's hearts."
"We will understand this after practicing it later. Well, there is another point that can be used, but it has to be on the opponent's coach. There are weaknesses and flaws to be found in everything. The more complicated it is, the more complicated it is. The more! After all, manpower is limited. If it exceeds this limit, it will lose control. The opponent's coach should also understand this, so in order to achieve maximum control, he will definitely formulate some kind of rules. Haha, as long as there are rules, there are rules , if we are lucky enough to find this pattern and make it confusing, we can truly fish in troubled waters."
At this point, Tang En looked at Frey and the others who were thoughtful but confused, waved his hands and smiled: "Haha, you don't need to think too much, no one knows whether these can be used. After all, if we If you run into a team of barbarians when your luck is bad, then all this will be meaningless... Ha, it seems a bit crow-mouthed. Well, let’s talk about it seriously. Our team of more than 700 people is still a bit big, so in a certain In some cases, it is necessary to break up and move forward. Tsk tsk, this involves the issue of command authority. Brother Elt and Taka, we have not known each other for a long time, but the current situation is special, so David and I need your team With the trust of the medium and large officers, we will replace their command when necessary. Well, I hope you can cooperate."
"No problem!" Elt and Taka looked at each other, took a deep breath, and said solemnly, "We will explain this later, and there will definitely be no trouble. If anyone of us disobeys the order, Including us, you can kill them on the spot!"
Tang En was not polite and patted the two of them heavily on the shoulders: "Well, that will trouble the two eldest brothers." Elt and Taka nodded in unison and immediately turned around and walked towards their team.
Looking at the backs of the two of them, Tang En's eyes flickered, and he turned around and said: "Brother Frey, you should also prepare here. Well, some of our soldiers may be used to fight later, so they must be elite. The best among them!"
Frey simply nodded when he heard this, turned around and walked towards the Changqian Po camp to consider the candidates for soldiers.
"Huh..." Finally, Tang En took a long breath, stretched out his foot to stamp off the pattern on the ground, then looked at the hundreds of Bran soldiers, stretched out his hand and touched his nose...
The current situation is quite chaotic. If we look at the escape probability alone, leaving Elt and Taka behind, their success rate will definitely be higher. But no one could predict what would happen next. If a frontal breakthrough was needed, it would undoubtedly be better to have two battalions of soldiers. Of course, if the time comes to give up, Tang En will abandon these two battalions of Bran soldiers without hesitation, and even use them as bait! Be it betrayal or villain, now Tang En is no longer the kind-hearted second-rate college student from Xiaoshi Village. When it comes to his own life and that of his friends, everything is empty!
However, Tang En would not tell Frey about this. It's not that he doesn't trust him, but in his opinion, Frey has a special affection for the Thunder Legion, and he also has a good impression of the two younger generations of the Legion. Moreover, Frey has a relatively straightforward personality, and it was because of being betrayed that he ended up like this...
These thoughts passed quickly. Tang En shook his head and looked up to the east. His narrow eyes narrowed slightly: "Haha, come on, come on. I hope you won't disappoint me too much with your surroundings..."
…………
At the same time, in a vast valley camp in the east, Tiu also put his hands behind his back and looked westward, but his eyes were closed.
"Tiwu, it's almost time. Let's start quickly. We still have big things to do." Yuan Fang walked over and said with a frown. Obviously, this middle-aged barbarian general still disapproved of the army's stopping.
Tiwu nodded noncommittally, stretched out his hands, and took a deep breath: "Haha, do you feel it? The pleasure of crushing ants to death with the power of heaven and earth?"
Yuan Fang pouted: "I know it's an ant, but I'm still wasting time here! Don't you want to compete with the Zichen Army in advance?"
"No, no, no..." Opening his eyes, Tiwu shook his fingers, "It's precisely because I have to face Ziyi later, so I can't have any worries about failure at this time. Well, you don't understand..."
"I don't understand where your inexplicable thoughts come from! But I know that victory and defeat are common on the battlefield. I think you really need to suffer a loss."
"Haha, maybe." Tiwu raised his head and laughed wildly, taking out a barrel-shaped object from his arms, "But uncle, you may be disappointed. I won't suffer, especially here!"
Raise your hand and throw it, crackle, the red flame-like conspicuous mark explodes in the air!
"Ant, ant, struggle a little longer, don't let me down too much..." (To be continued.)
