At the end of the day, taking advantage of the sun turning slightly and the weather being slightly cooler, I checked the items on the ground again.
There's something strange about it.
Among the items were broken bows, various hunter's knives, and a small number of broken arrow shafts, but there were no complete arrows.
After a little thought, I judged that the "Kwai Eagle Soldiers" were not only out of food and grass, but also in very short supply of military supplies.
Returning to the map, I picked up a pen and circled a place, and then continued thinking.
Behind a dilapidated house at the entrance of the village, a figure was looking around, as if observing the corpse.
I winked, and the two lieutenants beside Lao Yi walked away knowingly, quietly went around to the back, and quickly captured the man.
"...Why is it you again?" When I saw the face of the person being escorted, I suddenly felt disgusted.
"I, I, I...actually...I came back to find my sister...but...but..." The boy drooped his head.
"Looking for your sister... uh..." It seemed wrong. After a pause, I changed the way of saying it: "Looking for my sister, what do you mean?"
"Yesterday, my sister and I were swept away while escaping. After I escaped, I didn't wait until she showed up... so I secretly came back to look for her... But, but... I didn't Found..." The boy turned his head and stared directly at the corpses.
...Looking at him looking nervous, it doesn’t look like he’s lying.
"Understood... Do you want to confirm whether there is your sister's body?" I felt pity, waved my hand, and motioned to the two lieutenants to let him go: "Take him there..."
"Yes!" The deputy general let go of his hand and led the boy over to identify it.
I followed behind, walking slowly.
As I walked, I noticed something was wrong...
I asked the boy: "Are they... all villagers who failed to escape?"
"Hmm..." He lowered his head and identified it carefully.
Walk around with him.
"...I didn't see my sister..." The boy frowned.
I comforted: "Maybe she couldn't find you after escaping and went to other places."
"Impossible! My sister is a huntress! If she can escape, she will be able to find us through tracking!" The boy was excited.
"Then, could it be that she has passed by now?" I wanted to forgive him.
He became more and more excited and pointed at the ground: "The number of people is wrong! These are definitely not the only ones who did not escape! At least more than half of the big girls in the village did not escape last night!"
As soon as he finished speaking, I couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. Only then did I realize that none of the remains was a young woman!
Grandma’s! These bastards!
The situation is becoming more complex and we need to act now.
I immediately returned to the stone table and asked Lao Yi about the actual terrain conditions, trying to narrow down the search scope as accurately as possible.
According to the analysis of existing information, the "Kuiyingshi" are likely to hold hostages. Without riding, even if they march quickly, they can only travel a hundred miles in one day. What's more, they can't go that fast with the hostages, and , even if we set out overnight, we can now travel at most about forty miles.
Taking into account the food and grass problem of the "Kuiyingshi", they need supplies along the way. It is very possible for them to travel along the river. Not only are some villages scattered near the river, but there are many woods on both sides of the river, which is convenient for hiding.
Moreover, in this way, not only can they solve the water source problem, but the fish and shrimp in the river can also satisfy their hunger. The most important thing is that walking in the river makes it easier to hide their whereabouts.
In view of the fact that the lower reaches of the river go deep into the hinterland of Huanshan, if the "Kwaiyingshi" wants to evacuate here, it is likely to choose the upstream, because the end of the upstream is very close to the junction of Hanguang, and the only borders with Huanshan are clear water and Hanguang, and the clear water is too far , that route is basically a large city heavily garrisoned, so it is not that easy to get supplies.
With my thoughts straightened out, I immediately issued an order and sent three teams of scouts to ride on camels up the river, searching along the three locations I marked.
To avoid any mistakes, four teams of cavalry were sent out to search in four directions within a radius of sixty miles.
Once you find the target, keep an eye on it and report back immediately!
Before leaving, I gave special instructions to check whether the hostages were alive.
Hope it's not too late!
The remaining three thousand soldiers were on standby with me, Lao Yi and others, ready to set off at any time.
The boy walked towards me crying: "Sir, my sister must have been captured alive. Please rescue her... She is my only relative in the world..."
"Well..." I was noncommittal. It had been several hours since the incident happened, and it was still unclear whether the hostages were alive.
"Wow wow wow - sister -" the boy burst into tears suddenly.
Uh... maybe I shouldn't be discouraged... I patted him and said, "Don't worry, I will try my best."
"Really!" The boy jumped up, hugged me and shook me, his nose and tears all rubbing against me.
well......
The boy wiped away his tears and blushed: "Sir, my sister is very beautiful. Didn't you say that you want me to introduce my sister? If you can really save her, I will introduce her to you as your wife! But... ..You have to introduce one of the beauties around you to me..."
...Bringing this up again? A deal was even concluded! Be careful, I can't hold it back and slap you with my big mouth!
Where can I tell you to introduce your sister? That's an insult, Second Senior Brother!
Yes, I’d better go find a place to cool off by myself!
Just walk away and don't want to pay attention to him anymore.
An hour passed and it was Shen hour. I was a little anxious and paced back and forth.
Suddenly I heard the sound of hoofbeats and a scout reported back, so I quickly stepped forward to greet them.
Sure enough, the "Kwai Eagle Soldier" was traveling along the route I marked, and was now resting in a forest. It seemed that it planned to attack nearby villages after dark.
After listening to the scout's narration, I asked him about the situation of the hostages. The scout replied that there were indeed about a hundred young women captured by them, and it seemed that they were safe for the time being.
Fortunately, there is still a chance!
According to the location pointed out by the scout, I glanced at the wider basin valley on the map. The terrain was like an ancient arena. An idea flashed in my mind, but I didn't know how to use it for a while.
"Hoof-tat-hoo-tat-hoof-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-"
The sound of hoofbeats shook the sky, and from a distance, there was a mass of darkness!
Let me go, how many people have Roxu mobilized...
I guess it's at least 70,000 to 80,000 yuan... Isn't it a bit too much... Even if you kill a chicken with a bull's-eye knife, this knife is too awesome!
It is said in the military book that if you are ten, you will be surrounded, and if you are five, you will be attacking.
This is going to be a real-life version of the textbook! Can Ru Lin's group of guerrillas still have a way to survive...
Looking back at the basin valley in the picture, my heart moved and I already had some concerns.
The relationship between Huanshan and Rulin depends on it!
Grandma's "Sunflower Eagle Soldiers", you grandsons have committed so many unjust acts and are about to kill themselves!
In an instant, I had a complete plan.
The army was rushing with lightning and was approaching in an instant.
"Xiao Feng." "Xiao Feng!" "Second brother!"
Fu Yi, Yu Xu, Lou Huan, and Zhou Guangquan, with two hundred team members, arrived at high speed on camels.
Also accompanying him were Yan Wei and Yan Dan.
After jumping off the camel, Fuyi pulled up my sleeves and pointed behind her: "Xiaofeng, I received news that something happened on your side, so I mobilized 50,000 elite troops from the Yin'ao Barracks, plus Sister Baili mobilized A total of eight..."
Fuyi turned her head and saw the ground, her face changed drastically.
She was trembling all over and slowly walked towards the corpse, as if she was a different person, and asked in a cold and stern voice: "Who dares to treat my people of the Rock Tribe like this?"
This is the first time I see her like this...
Time is life at this moment and cannot be delayed. It is not appropriate for me to say too much and let Lao Yi explain it to her in detail.
I led the other generals to the stone table, briefly explained what happened, and pointed out the location of "Kui Yingshi" on the map to Yan Wei, Lao An, Yan Dan, Yan Zikuan and others, as well as the specific operations we needed to do. content.
After completing the explanation of the entire deployment, I repeated it to everyone again, just asking everyone to remember it.
Fuyi walked over slowly, the moisture in the corners of her eyes was not yet dry, but the anger in her eyes was burning.
She raised her hands solemnly: "Xiao Feng, please help me!"
"What?" I pretended not to understand.
I can't let the situation escalate to the point of no return.
"I will personally go into battle to avenge my people!" Her eyes were firm.
It seemed that Fuyi was determined to do it, and I didn’t know what to say.
"You know, when I was very young, I heard about Rulin's 'Kwai Eagles'. They were a thorn in my father's heart and a needle in my heart. Over the years, many villages around the mountain have suffered. They are being persecuted, but we, the Rock Clan, can’t do anything against them... I believe in you, you can get rid of them!" Fu Yi said every word accurately.
...I was silent...
...The time I was ambushed, compared to the Rock Tribe, was like a leaf in a huge wave...
I seem to have no choice...but I have to pave the way for the next action and leave room for the overall situation...
"Okay, I promise you, but all actions must be under my command, otherwise you will stay and wait for me." I agreed and asked her for a promise.
"Of course." She nodded, ordered someone to fetch a sword and put it on her waist, then turned and walked towards the military formation.
"Some people are harming the people of our Yan tribe. As the leader of the tribe, I swear to avenge them! However, like Lin Xiaoxiao, who is cunning and cunning, Huanshan has been unable to eliminate the disaster for decades. Now, there is Luan Yi Holy Boy——Chen Xiaofeng , I am willing to listen to his command and completely eliminate the harm, brothers, what about you?!" Fuyi spoke eloquently, her words were powerful but not arrogant, domineering but not leaking.
"It's all at the command of the Holy Child! Eradicate the evil!" "Revenge!" "Revenge!" "Avenge!" "Avenge!"
The whole army seemed to be set on fire. The soldiers stared in anger and screamed in unison!
...Unexpectedly, Huan Shan and Ru Lin have such a grudge. It seems that there will be no need for public anger today - it is difficult to calm down!
My blood surged, and I ordered Xuangang to shout loudly: "Generals, listen to the order, Yan Wei, Lao An, and Yan Zikuan, you three will each lead 20,000 heavy cavalry, with this place as the center, from the north, northwest, west, and west respectively." Southwest, south and southeast, march towards the place marked by me in a closed manner. If you encounter anyone who is acting suspiciously, you will be forced to stay inside the circle. You must reach the designated place before dark!"
"I have the order!" The three of them clasped their fists together.
"Yan Dan, lead 20,000 light cavalry, travel far and detour, shrink inward along the east and northeast, and cut off the enemy's retreat. If you encounter suspicious people - the same as above, you must reach the designated position before dark to complete the encirclement!" I continued to issue orders.
"Take the order!" Yan Dan clasped his fists.
In order to prevent the "Kui Yingshi" from breaking off into a small team and escaping, which would affect my next step, I made this arrangement so that no news can be sent back to Rulin, so that no fish slips through the net!
Turning to Fu Yi: "Clan leader, could you please and Lao Yi lead the remaining soldiers to accompany me."
"Okay, Xiaofeng!" Fuyi held her hand.
I moved Xuangang, jumped into the air, and shouted loudly: "After the four armies have completed the encirclement, they will block the road and wait in place until dark. Using my cloud-penetrating arrow as the signal, we will launch a general attack! Set off immediately!"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
The shouts broke through the sky!
"Woooooooo-" "Dong-dong-dong-dong-dong-dong-dong-dong-"
The trumpet sounded, the drum beat, the military flag waved, and the generals led the army into action.
It takes you, me, and him to save people. Success can only rely on everyone. Bring more skilled masters to go, and the chance of rescuing the hostages will be greatly improved.
Let Yu Xu, Xiao Yan, "Chef", Twelve Fairies, Lou Huan, Zhou Guangquan and the two hundred team members put on light armor and follow me when they are ready.
Without further ado, I and a group of others led 24,000 cavalry and archers and followed the scouts to attack the "Kuiyingshi" station.
The owl and camel are really not built. They climb mountains and rivers as if they are walking on flat ground, and everyone and the army are galloping in the river.
In other words, the difference between the "Kwai Eagles" and us is that they are like a camel... This is like a mobile unit with cars but no cars...
Unexpectedly, the hunchback in front of me kicked up several fish and almost jumped into my mouth. I was so frightened that I quickly hid my head behind the mount's neck.
A few miles away from the target location, I asked everyone and the soldiers to stop and find a forest to hide first.
He and Lao Yi quietly walked over with the scouts and asked other scout brothers for information.
When they came to a river embankment, the scout brother motioned to go ashore. He said that the water was too deep to move forward.
We tied up our camels and he led us carefully around a hill with lush vegetation.
Met other scout brothers here.
After being explained by another scout brother, I learned that the "Sunflower Eagle Soldiers" not only set traps around their camp, but sentry posts were also scattered on the trees in the nearby jungle.
Damn it, what a thief! If it weren't for these professional brothers, I would have been exposed!
Lying in the grass and trees, I observed the situation from a distance. A scout brother explained to me that before setting up camp here, the "Sunflower Eagle Soldiers" had lined up to issue orders, and it seemed that they would plunder a nearby village late at night.
After setting up camp, they left roaming sentries on all sides while the rest entered the camp to rest.
The scouts told me that they took the risk of being exposed to find out the information. No more information would be lost. I hope you will forgive me.
I cupped my fists to express my deep gratitude. The information was enough and I would deal with it next.
One of the scout brothers pointed to a corner, indicating that the hostages were there.
I saw a large group of young women sitting on the ground, tied tightly...
It seemed that they were indeed in no danger for the time being.
After thinking for a moment, I concluded that the "Kwai Eagle Soldiers" went to great lengths to set up camp here, indicating that they did not intend to leave immediately after robbing the village.
Grandma is a bear! That’s it for you!
Wait until it gets dark? Don't cooperate with me too much!
He patted Lao Yi and pointed behind him, signaling him to return to the army quickly. I have something to arrange!
