In the afternoon of the next day, Chen Xing encountered another enemy reconnaissance point blocking the road.
Following the principle of avoiding where possible, he tried to keep a distance of four to five kilometers and took detours. This distance will not be observed by the naked eye, smells and sounds will not be easily detected, and it is within the detection radius of tactical satellites.
But the current reconnaissance point is located between two reconnaissance points nine kilometers apart. It must be unplugged, otherwise it will take a long detour, and it is not known if there are other reconnaissance points outside the reconnaissance range of the tactical satellite.
So the best option now is to unplug this reconnaissance point.
Since it was daytime, he could not sneak past without being discovered, so he asked the team to stand by and wait for action after nightfall.
Except for those on guard duty, the rest of the people hid in hidden places on the back of the mountain and gathered in a group to rest.
Chen Xing was about to take a nap when he suddenly saw steam coming out of the team and hurried over to check.
I saw Lacey, Yeyang Bailiu, Camilla, and Shanna surrounding a large stainless steel pot, and Jian Yue Canglian was stirring the pot with a spoon.
The two-headed manticore was lying next to it, blocking the wind with its huge body. A small stream of flames came out of the nostrils of one of the lion heads, and it was heating a stainless steel cauldron!
The secondary false god turned into a fire boy.
Seeing how these women were not doing their jobs properly, Chen Xing became angry and stepped forward to ask, "Are you here to fight or have a picnic?"
Except for him, no one here would dare to offend these women.
"With the steam making it so big, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
Lacey cast a disdainful look at him, then gestured towards the two-headed manticore. The other head of the two-headed manticore lifted up and took a breath of the steaming mist. The steam was immediately sucked into the beast's body, leaving no smell behind.
This big two-headed cat is also amazing, covering both the range hood and the gas stove.
Lacey cast a provocative look at him, as if to say, "That's okay!"
Chen Xing was too lazy to argue with this woman. He smelled the sweet aroma in the pot, walked to the edge and looked inside.
This pot is very big, half a person's height. You can tell that Lacey brought it without even looking. Because among the people present, she was the only one who had such a large space prop, and the use was so extravagant.
Since the red earth world does not have the technology to produce space props, they can only be found in the world fragments of magical civilization, so the price is particularly expensive.
Others use it to store potions and important items. Only the Red Dragon Princess would be so extravagant and use the precious portable space for pots, pans and personal enjoyment.
There was white slurry rolling in the pot and it smelled sweet. Chen Xing didn't see what it was, so he asked Jian Yue Cang Lian who was stirring it.
"What are you cooking?"
"Lotus seeds, lilies and bird's nest soup." Jian Yue Cang Lian replied obediently.
"I really enjoy it." Chen Xing looked at several women.
"It's not your responsibility to have an abortion," Lacey said.
Such a big pot is enough to feed dozens of people, so saying it doesn't belong to him is just targeting him.
But Chen Xing didn't say anything. He sat down next to the cauldron and took out a snow-white animal from the storage space.
The girls' eyes suddenly lit up.
"Ferret, where did it come from?"
Ye Yang Bailiu couldn't help but ask. Ferrets are rare game. In addition to their valuable fur, their meat is also very delicious. Commonly known as "flying on snow", it is just a protected animal, and no one usually hunts it specifically.
Chen Xing smiled and deliberately didn't say anything.
"Why are you so anxious with me? I didn't offend you." Ye Yang Bailiu pushed him and quickly drew a clear line with Lacey.
"It's a gift from the brother below." Chen Xing replied.
Huozui sent someone to deliver this last night, saying it was for some sisters-in-law to replenish their health. Although Huo Zui is a person who is usually rough and strong, he is actually very thoughtful, but his personality is a bit impulsive and he can easily become confused when he loses his temper.
Chen Xing took out his knife and quickly skinned the ferret and removed its internal organs.
This ferret is very fat, weighing more than thirty kilograms. After removing the fur and internal organs, there are more than ten kilograms of meat.
Chen Xing dismembered it, cut it into small pieces, took out a military pot, poured water on it, and then snapped his fingers at the two-headed manticore, "Brother, lend me a fire."
Although the two-headed cat was somewhat reluctant, it felt that the relationship between the host and the other party was relaxing, lazily turned its head and blew out a stream of flames from its nostrils.
The flame is very hot and quickly boils the water. Chen Xing first blanched the ferret meat in boiling water to remove the blood, then poured in clean water, added radish and various seasonings, and heated it again until it boiled.
Then put on the military kerosene stove and simmer over low heat.
After a while, the pot lid clinked and the aroma of meat overflowed. The two-headed cat sucked greedily, not letting go of any scent.
After cooking for more than two hours, the ferret meat is ready and the bird's nest soup is almost ready. The girls happily joined together, but Lacey looked arrogant and pretended to be disdainful. But in fact, her stomach had betrayed her long ago and was growling.
Chen Xing winked at Yue Canglian, who understood and filled a bowl for Lacey and carried it over.
Although the other party spared no effort to target him, as a grown man, there was no need to argue with a little woman. Besides, even if the other person doesn't eat, the little one in the belly will still eat.
Zhiqi returned to Zhiqi, he could never let his children suffer.
Although Lacey looked arrogant, she was not polite when eating, and she finished three bowls in a row.
Yeyang Bailiu didn't even hold it, so he ate four bowls in one go.
Seeing that the two masters liked the food, Camilla and Shanna didn't dare to put down their chopsticks, so they ate a bowl of meat for a long time. It wasn't until the two masters were full, touching their bellies, looking satisfied, that they dared to eat.
Chen Xing took two bites and then put down his bowl.
Jian Yue Canglian left a large bowl for him, but he didn't eat it and gave it all to him. As a chef, the real satisfaction is not eating yourself, but watching others eat.
"How's it going? Is my craft okay?" Chen Xing asked with a smile.
"It's not bad." "Although it's not as good as the chef in the palace, it's okay."
The two beauties were very heartless in their comments. They typically complained that the chef didn't do a good enough job after eating too much.
Just as the girls finished eating the stew and drank bird's nest soup together, hundreds of kilometers away on the Guiwei Plain, a large-scale army group was slowly moving.
This army group consists of several armies, namely the Red Dragon First Army, the Water Weasel Militia Self-Defense Force, the Silver Claw New First Army, and the Black Feather First Army.
The Expeditionary Force and the Second Red Dragon Army stayed on the Chiyan front to intimidate the Chiyan Principality. However, in fact, the backbone of these two armies were removed, the command system was semi-paralyzed, and there was almost no combat effectiveness left.
The expeditionary force composed of mercenary groups was a little better. It did not rely entirely on the command system and could fight independently when necessary. However, the Second Red Dragon Army was completely paralyzed.
Once the Chiyan Principality sends troops, they will retreat according to the planned route to Sanchahe City and the Nolanxi Sixteenth Peak stronghold where the Red Dragon Third Army is located.
At this time, Ricardo, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Alliance, was standing in front of the holographic map, staring intently at the three-color light spots dotted on the map.
Green light dots represent troops under your control, blue light dots represent friendly troops, and red light dots represent enemy troops.
His eyes stayed on the East Fourth Peak area of Nolan Snow Mountain, where there was a large area of dense red light spots.
These light spots represent an army of 300,000 people.
Echoing the stronghold of Dongsi Peak is the large red light spot at the northeast entrance of Guiwei Plain. There were at least a million enemy troops there.
The total number of troops in Ricardo's hands was less than 800,000.
In the area near the middle of the East Fourth Peak, there is a slowly moving yellow light spot.
On a tactical map, yellow represents uncertainty. Ever since Chen Xing led his troops into Dongsi Peak, they have completely lost contact. There are no radio base stations there, and no time is dedicated to setting them up along the way.
Furthermore, the use of radio equipment may cause signals to be captured by the enemy, which may lead to exposure. Therefore, after entering the enemy-controlled area, Chen Xing chose radio silence.
The current moving position of the yellow light spot is only a guess based on the action plan, and the real situation cannot be determined.
Probably because he had been looking at the map for a long time, his eyes were a little tired, so Ricardo closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows.
Ever since he led his army into the Ghost Crying Plains, he had been in a state of excitement and had only slept two hours a day for three or four days in a row.
Extreme pressure resistance is a required course for every military commander. With training, they can sleep very little each day for a long period of time and maintain a clear mind.
Once in a state of war, the battlefield changes rapidly, and the commander must keep an eye on it at all times and make decisions at any time. Therefore, long working hours are very important, and excellent commanders are usually overtime addicts.
Also in this state was Lin Yuanzheng on the opposite side.
The commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces stood in front of the holographic map, looking at the three-color light spots scattered across the space, his brows knitted together.
"Eagle owl, eagle owl, what are you planning?"
Lin Yuanzheng said to himself, his eyes falling on the two red light groups in the northeast and southeast of the Chiyan Mountains.
That was the Northern Alliance's Expeditionary Force and the Second Red Dragon Army.
Ricardo left the two most powerful troops unused, and instead used the Water Weasel and Silver Claw troops. The Water Weasel was a typical half-baked army, a legion made up of militiamen and ronin, and Silver Claw's troops suffered a lot in the last battle. The heavy damage was a new army reorganized on the basis of the remaining army.
The only real front-line combat troops are the Red Dragon First Army and the Black Feather First Army, and the rest can be regarded as cannon fodder.
But then again, the proportion of cannon fodder in the troops he has is not small. The reinforcements sent from the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent are basically second-rate. It's just that the numbers are huge, and effective combat power can be formed by relying on human sea tactics.
"Is it because you can't do it?"
The expeditionary force belonged to Chen Xing, and the Second Red Dragon Army belonged to Lacey. Both of them were beyond the control of Ricardo.
But this doesn't make sense, because Ricardo's commander-in-chief was elected by Chen Xing. Since he was promoted by himself, how could he not support him?
Is this the result of a power game or a premeditated arrangement?
Lin Yuanzheng never expected that it was Chen Xing, not Ricardo, who made the surprise attack plan of "building the plank road openly and attacking Chen Cang secretly".
Ricardo's style was not so adventurous. What he was good at was winning steadily, not Chen Xing's all-or-nothing approach.
"Commander-in-Chief, a guest is here!"
When Lin Yuanzheng was thinking hard and couldn't figure out the solution, a mysterious guest came to the headquarters.
The next moment, the fragrant wind hit my nose, and a touch of red clothes burst into my eyes.
Lin Yuanzheng's pupils shrank slightly, and his stern face showed a bit of surprise, "Chu Diji?"
Chu Hanyu smiled at him, "It's me!"
