Chapter 443 I Like This Impulse!
Life is often more exciting than novels and dramas, just like candy. You never know what kind of wonderful or bitter taste will greet your taste buds until the wrapper is opened.
When going to other people's territory, it is normal to register at the city gate. But just as the soldiers were immersed in checking the information, Erte casually flipped through the register out of boredom, and discovered the name that made him both surprised and angry - Werner!
There was no pause. Frey and the others also forgot about their agreement to treat Butters to a drink, and they made a side attack on the office soldiers. The team left the border overnight and rushed towards the rear.
This night is destined to be restless!
The checkpoint on the far left side of the Thunder Legion's defense area was right here. Tiu, who had led tens of thousands of barbarians in a hurry, collided with the soldiers of the Zichen Legion who had just captured the checkpoint.
They met on a narrow road, one was tightening the encirclement, and the other was eager to break through and escape. Without any hesitation, the two sides immediately became entangled, and the sound of fighting was loud. Immediately, many Zichen Legion soldiers rushed out from the surrounding mountains and joined the encirclement and suppression.
The battle entered a white-hot state from the beginning. In the early stage, the thousands of soldiers of the Zichen Legion who captured the level were instantly at a disadvantage. This was inevitable. They did not expect that the barbarians would come so quickly. The level they had just conquered did not have time to rest. The city walls were dilapidated and leaky. There were very few intact defense equipment, and there was basically no defensive effect. In this case, facing the crazy barbarians who are several times the strength here, they are naturally passive.
Fortunately, this kind of passivity did not last long. Just as the vanguard of the barbarians rushed into the checkpoint, the surrounding Zichen Legion soldiers who were preparing to ambush rushed out in advance, surrounding tens of thousands of barbarians and the rear troops were encircled and killed.
The war situation has reached this point, and the outcome is basically clear. It is inevitable for the barbarian team to break through. The only difference is the time it takes for the strong man to break his arm and the number of men lost.
Tiwu was very clear about this, but his heart was still bleeding when he saw the troops in the rear who were constantly being isolated and killed by Zichen Legion soldiers because they were eager to break through.
This operation of leading troops to raid the Zichen Legion was a failure and ridiculous. Although he led his troops to wander around the Zichen Army's defense area for a week and destroyed most of the opponent's military strongholds, he seemed invincible and majestic. But the actual number of enemy soldiers annihilated was extremely small. But now the opponent used a little trick with his backhand to inflict heavy damage to this side. It was a decisive decision!
Of course, no matter how unwilling he is, Tiu can only lead as many men as possible to retreat. And at this time, I couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Fortunately, the news of the "killer trump card" came in time, otherwise the whole army here would really be annihilated.
…
The battle lasted for about midnight. In the end, at the cost of abandoning more than a thousand barbarian warriors behind, Tiu led his troops to break through the encirclement, and then ran non-stop towards the wilderness under the endless darkness.
Around dawn, a piece of information was delivered through some hidden channel to an exaggeratedly warm hut in the center of Xiongguan City.
The room was still as messy as ever, filled with various documents and topographic maps. There were multiple stoves burning charcoal in the corners, almost turning the place into a fiery crater.
There was only Zi Yi in the room, who was wearing a purple robe, sitting quietly, looking at the information on the table in trance.
If Tang En, Frey, Elt, etc., or even Butters were here, they would definitely be very familiar with this information. Because that was the information that Frey dictated and Butters presented to his superiors last night. The above content is very simple - at noon on a certain day, the team that came here to take refuge found traces of tens of thousands of barbarians beside the mountains, and the other party was retreating in a hurry.
time, place, thing. Everything is very concise, just like the various insignificant messages returned by the scouts when the army is marching. But if this concise information falls into the eyes of someone who knows something inside, such as Zi Yi, they will immediately find something wrong.
The time is wrong... The time to plan the encirclement and suppression strategy was only in the first two days!
In this case, there are only two possibilities. First, the other party has a keen sense of smell, realizes that the atmosphere is not right, and immediately chooses to evacuate. The second is that there is internal suppression here and the plan is leaked to the other party...
"Ahem..." Continuous coughs broke the silence in the room. For a moment, Ziyi put down the palm covering her mouth. Her expression was neither happy nor sad, and she could not see any emotion. Then he took a deep breath, reached out and crumpled the love paper into a ball, threw it lightly, and prepared to drop it into the stove not far away.
The paper quickly yellowed, curled, and turned into black ash in the flames. A sigh, "I am a coward, don't force me..."
…
…
The sky was slightly bright, in a small city in the Zichen Army's defense area.
The tired Frey and the others registered again, confirmed their identities, and then walked out of the office building. Nodding to Tang En who was waiting outside, the team continued to move forward across the town.
At this time, the city was still sleeping. The wide roads were covered by light morning fog, and there were basically no people in sight.
"The route is correct, he is still in front of us. But he is getting closer, and we will catch up around noon." After running wildly all night, Frey had calmed down his emotions very well, and told the current situation with a calm face.
Tang En nodded and said with a smile: "Haha, this is like trying to find a place without trying to find a place. It takes no effort to get there. Well, when are you going to take action?"
"The sooner the better!" Frey pursed his lips tightly, his murderous intent flashed away, and he squinted his eyes and said, "I have already inquired about it. He came out with a division of troops, but he suffered heavy losses later, and there were still a thousand left. The remaining people. Now we are hiding and they are hiding. As long as we plan well and go straight into the central army, we have a high chance of success."
After all, Frey is still a rational person. After a short period of heat, he quickly sorted out the pros and cons of both parties and made the decision to take action as soon as possible. This isn't a rush for revenge, or even if it is, that's not all. After all, Weiner is the deputy general. If he is allowed to return to the Thunder Legion's defense area, it will be difficult for them to take action again.
"Then what else is there to say? Take the time to catch up and chop him to death!" Taka tightened the short-handled battle ax in his hand, murderous intent overflowing. Whether it was for saviors like Don Enfrey or for the soldiers on his side who had almost wiped out his entire battalion, Taka had ample reasons for revenge.
Elt did the same thing, his eyes widened, and he said in a rough voice: "Yes, brother Frey, please give the order, what should we do?"
Shaking his head, Frey said calmly: "No, it's what we should do. As for you, stay in the city later and set off again in three hours."
"What?" "Impossible!"
Erte and Taka suddenly cried out when they heard the words, almost unable to believe their ears, and then said anxiously: "Brother Frey, what do you mean? Yes, we don't have many people, but even if we are just a bait , I will never complain about being a cannon fodder."
"That's right! And Brother Frey, this is not your fault alone. My dead brothers are still buried under the wilderness. If Wenard can't be killed by hand, how can I explain to them if you send me to hell! "
He waved his hand and said, "Don't get excited. Just wait until I finish." After calming down the excited two people, Frey said calmly, "We have lived and died together for so many days. You are my brothers of life and death. If the situation permits, , I will naturally not leave you alone to seek revenge. But the situation is different now. We will surrender directly after killing Wenard. At this time, someone needs to stand up to testify for us and tell what happened in the wilderness."
After a pause, he patted Elt and Taka on the shoulders, "And this person can only be an outsider. If he gets involved, no one will believe what he says. So I will let you stay in this city for a few hours. Just to show off and give others the illusion that our relationship is unfamiliar and we are now parting ways. Well, please!"
Elt and Taka were silent at the same time after hearing this, knowing that Frey was right. Although the Gray Army and Bran's Army are in a period of cooperation, the relationship between the soldiers of both sides is not really good. Take them as an example, if Tang En and others hadn't saved lives time and time again, knew Frey's true identity, and walked on the edge of death several times with them. They may not be friends with each other either. The previous tense relationship and even cynicism when they first met is a clear example.
Therefore, it is undoubtedly the best strategy for them to come forward as witnesses. Of course, this also requires a premise, that is, they are not involved in what happens next. Otherwise, as parties involved, no matter what they say, others will preconceptionally think it is collusion.
After understanding this, Elt and Taka could only nod helplessly, and asked everyone to stab Vernal a few more times as revenge for them, and then sent Tang En and others out of the city.
Stepping onto the official road outside the city, everyone's expressions suddenly turned cold, and no one around the team was allowed to enter.
Needless to say, Slender Monkey, Bamboo Pole, Big Bear and other old brothers from Frey, among the old and new grudges, wished they could chop up Vernal right now. Although the other soldiers from the spear-breaking camp joined later, they share the same hatred for Chief Frey and the others. It was because of the brothers who had been together day and night who died during the previous escape, and they all became red-eyed.
While running in silence, Frey suddenly turned around and said, "Tang, based on our friendship, there should be no need to say anything, but now, after all, you are involved..."
"Since there is no need to say it, then don't say it." Of course Tang En knew what Frey was thinking, so he interrupted and said, "I was the one who advised you to join the Gray Army before. Haha, of course I am also responsible. Besides, I was the one who advised you to join the Gray Army. Yes, you know me. I am not big-minded, and I am a person who will seek retribution. That red-haired weasel tricked me, and almost caused me and the entire gray space to be buried in the wilderness. This place is natural. I have to get it back!”
After a brief explanation, Tang En changed the subject and said with a smile, "Interview, Brother Frey, back then you led the people to attack thousands of miles and cut off the head of the gold-plated noble. Now you are attacking hundreds of miles to cut off the head of Wenar. Well, what's the matter? Does it feel different?"
"Interview?" Frey was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's almost the same. Well, it's like going through reincarnation. The difference is that the people killed are different, but the same thing is that I am still so impulsive..."
"Haha, this is the rhythm, I like this impulse!"
"Well, me too."
"Uh...haha..."
"Haha..." (To be continued.)
