Chapter 071 disrupts the plan
The weather in the north is as complex and changeable as its topography, and the warm sun of the previous two days has been replaced by dark clouds. After brewing for a whole day, the raindrops finally fell at noon the next day.
At this time, the sixth official encirclement and suppression of the country of Blanc is continuing. Compared with the previous five times, this encirclement and suppression campaign has obviously made progress. Although there have not been any great achievements, at least they are now being chased by the main force of the gray army. Unlike the previous times, chasing scattered teams all over the country, and then chasing after them, they found that the people were gone, so it was best to put an end to it.
On the mountain clearing, the soldiers of the three legions are taking a short rest. Ralph, they are all military experts and know how to relax one by one. Therefore, it did not let the soldiers catch up with fatigue day and night, but kept hanging at a uniform speed behind the gray army.
Because it was only a break, except for the large accounts of the Chinese army, none of the soldiers' tents were set up. All the soldiers bowed their heads to take shelter from the rain, some took a nap while others took out military food and nibbled silently. Just then, a mournful voice sounded, "enemy attack!" Enemy attack! Be on the alert! "
Wow the water is splashing everywhere. The soldiers on the ground quickly turned up, the shield infantry immediately formed a phalanx, the lightly armored soldiers ran to the rear to hide, and the archers began to assemble. From this short instant reaction, you may know why the ferocious and savage northern barbarians have not succeeded in defeating the north of Bran.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. At this time, a large number of arrows were suddenly shot out of the dense forest next to the clearing, mixed with rain falling from the heads of the soldiers.
Bang. Most of the arrows were blocked by shields, of course, they also caused some damage. Some soldiers either failed to respond, or were slightly slower, and were directly nailed to the ground, and the blood flow on the ground was instantly diluted by Rain Water.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. After the end of a round of arrow rain, there was a pause, and the second and third round of arrow rain arrived in an instant. However, the effect of these two rounds of arrow rain is negligible. The soldiers of the three major legions have all been fighting on the battlefield, and any gap will be caught by them.
"Damn it, here we go again. The soldiers on the left and right flanks obeyed and attacked and surrounded. Archers follow orders, to the northwest, keep it down! " A majestic man came out of the big account and roared angrily.
When his voice fell to the ground, the long gunmen on the left and right wings rushed out without hesitation and quickly surrounded the dense forest. At the same time, a large number of arrows were shot back into the dense forest, and the sound of beating leaves through the forest continued to come.
But by this time, the attack in the dense forest had disappeared. After the soldier's arrow rain went in, there was no murmur.
Soon, the attacking soldiers came out of the dense forest, and the captain and officers in front of them spread their hands helplessly, signalling that there was nothing to gain, and that there was no one inside.
Seeing this, the big man looked gloomy: "the scout team expanded the scope of the search and stepped up its vigilance!" With that, he lifted the curtain and walked into the big account.
The area of the account is quite large and a lot of people are gathered. At this time, most of them are constantly discussing around the map. To the east, there were two generals in high armor.
"what do you say, General Barlow?" A gloomy-looking middle-aged general spoke.
"Damn it, what else can I do. He ran away. " The big man sat down depressed, grabbed the kettle at the table and took a swig.
"these gray armies. Oh, don't underestimate it! "
Of course, these three generals are Ralph, Barlow and Gary. The Grey Army's larger-than-expected combat numbers brought the three generals together in pursuit.
Although the number of people on both sides is almost equal, there is no doubt about the strength of the regular army. So Barlow and others are not worried about not winning. The problem now is that they don't have a chance to fight at all. Since the last time the Grey Army broke through from the Cangyan Legion, they have never faced them head-to-head again. Attention, it's the front. The daily sneak attacks and harassment of the gray army are constant.
Originally, when the army advanced, there were scouts to explore the way ahead, and under normal circumstances, the possibility of a sudden attack would be eliminated. But where is this? This is a hundred thousand mountains. A variety of strange terrain, so that the scouts are also powerless. For example, there is a steep mountain ahead, and before the scouts climb it, the troops behind all come, and then a large number of arrows fall on it. For example, after passing through a large jungle, it is inevitable that there will be omissions no matter how many scouts there are. Then, when the Legion passed by, of course, there was another shower of arrows. Although this situation is deliberately guarded, the harm is not great. But if this is always the case, it will undoubtedly affect the morale of the soldiers. Barlow, it's not that they didn't want to lure out these sneak attacks, but each time they were long archers, and they only released three rounds of arrows at most. Next, no matter how good the opportunity is, they will retreat decisively. If you don't eat the bait, you won't be able to catch it. There are three legions of elite soldiers in the air, but they are powerless. Barlow, they're pretty depressed right now.
"just wait!" When Ralph sat for a long time on one side, a word finally came out.
Although there is no beginning and no end, but the other two can understand.
Call. Barlow exhaled a murky breath: "Yes, just let them be arrogant for two more days." When the lord's soldiers are in place, I'll show them what the Bran regular army is! "
"soldiers, lords. I'm afraid they won't work! " Gary looked rather disdainful.
"there's no need for them to be useful." Barlow said carelessly, "as long as they can get to the designated position at the specified time and block the road of the gray army." Tut, even if there are more than 20,000 pigs, it will take a while to kill, which is enough for us to get there. "
"Huh." Gary snorted, but he didn't object to Barlow.
When it was known that the main force of the gray army was in the valley, the three legions came directly to encircle and suppress it, while the soldiers of the four lords were arranged to stay on the perimeter. Who would have thought that in the end, the gray army broke through from the west. The siege and annihilation turned into a long pursuit, and Barlow thought of the lords' soldiers. At that time, only the soldiers of Lord Solomon to the west were unstoppable. The three generals discussed and simply asked them to step back, and then sent scouts to inform the lords in other directions to keep moving closer to Solomon.
In fact, the three legions are now camping on time and eating on time, which seems to be a slow chase, but in fact it is also a strategy. They are driving the escape rhythm of the gray army. At present, this strategy is effective, the gray army is not desperately on the road, but made some efforts on these constant sneak attacks.
In this way, as long as the soldiers of the three lords traveled a little more every day, they would eventually overtake the gray army from the side, and then make peace with Lord Solomon. As long as they are stuck in front of the gray army. Er, Barlow is right. Even if more than 20,000 pigs are stuck on the same road, it will take a lot of work to clean it up.
At this time, the curtain of the big tent was lifted, and a messenger came in.
"General, this is a dispatch from the rear military headquarters." The soldier was a member of the Thunder Legion, so he naturally sent the letter to Barlow.
"mm-hmm." Barlow nodded and opened it casually: "the garrison office?" Have the supplies been delivered? When did those officials work so fast? "
Bang! Wow!
The sound paused and the desk fell apart! Barlow's palm stopped in mid-air and his face was dark.
There was a sudden silence in the big tent, except for the sound of raindrops falling off the roof of the tent, and everyone turned their eyes over.
"General Barlow?" Gary asked.
Crackle! Stretch out the palm and squeeze it, take it back, the bones explode, and Barlow's chest gasps several times: "the fool misses the job!" Stupid people are in trouble. Most of the supplies were burned on the way! "
"what?" Gary was so startled that he suddenly opened his eyes! On the other side, Ralph, who had always been expressionless, was surprised.
Wow all the officers in the big account were also confused by the news, and immediately talked about it.
After all, the people in the Armament Office did not dare to conceal the news. As a matter of fact, this news cannot be concealed, otherwise, if the troops make a general attack tomorrow and the grain delivered today will not be able to fill the bellies of the soldiers, then there will be a big problem.
"how is it possible." After digesting this sentence, Gary subconsciously shook his head, "isn't the material team behind us?" How could it be burned. Bandits? No way. Do they have the guts? "
"it says it's an army in gray."
"er." Gary looked at Barlow in an inexplicable tone. "what are you talking about?". The gray army? So what are we chasing? "
Ralph picked up the paper on the floor and frowned at it.
"it's a small unit of the gray army, which seems to have only a dozen men. What a fucking shame! " At this point, Barlow stretched out his hand again, but there was no table to shoot.
"A dozen people. Burn more than half of the material. " Gary's face was as gloomy as if he could drop into the water, and growled in a low voice, "the disgrace of a soldier should go straight to the gallows!"
"strange." Ralph looked at the letter and looked up. "where did it come from?"
Of course, he is talking about more than a dozen people burning grain, which is indeed a question. If the gray army had kept such a back hand, it would not have been possible to send so few people. But no matter what he thinks, he will not know that this is just a group of miserable lying gunmen.
"I don't care where they came from." Gary squinted murderously. "I just want to know when they will die!"
"you can't burn anything on a rainy day. The letter says that an extermination team has been sent, and it must be dead by now. " After many years of war, Barlow finally restrained his anger and shook his head with a wry smile. "this group of people are not sorry for their death, but our plan, alas," Barlow finally stopped his anger and shook his head with a wry smile. "
Supplies could not keep up, and they had originally planned to catch up with the gray army in these two days, but they naturally fell through completely.
"come and tell the scouts to inform the lords and soldiers immediately and let them run a little further ahead. As for the specific time of attack. We'll let you know the exact time. " Barlow was also afraid of the fools in the rear and dared not set any exact time until the arrival of the goods and materials. Then when he thought that because of this, he would have to endure a few more days of sneak attacks and harassment by the gray army, he couldn't help looking up and sighing: "an opponent like a lion and tiger is scary, but this pig …". Teammates who are not as good as pigs are the real scourge! "
