Chapter 176
2014-08-16
The weather in the north is as complex and changeable as its terrain. , replaced by a piece of cloud over the mountains. After brewing for a whole day, the raindrops finally pattered down at noon the next day.At this time, the sixth official siege of the Titus Kingdom is continuing. Compared with the previous five times, the encirclement and suppression this time has obviously improved. Although there has not been a huge victory yet, at least they are now chasing after the main force of the Grey Cloth Armed Force. Unlike the previous few times, the people covering the mountains and plains chased the scattered teams, and then they found that the people were gone, and it was best to just let it go.
The soldiers of the Three Great Legions are taking a short break in the mountain clearing. Ralph and the others are all experts in military use and know how to relax. So instead of letting the soldiers chase after the fatigue of day and night, they kept hanging behind the Grey Cloth Armed Force at a constant speed.
Because it was just a break, other than the tent of the Chinese army, no other tents were set up for the soldiers. All the soldiers lowered their heads to avoid the rain, some seized the time to take a nap, while others took out their rations and nibbled silently... At this moment, a mournful voice sounded, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Be alert! ”
Wow—splashing. The soldiers on the ground quickly stood up, the shield infantry immediately formed a phalanx, the light armored soldiers ran to the rear to hide, and the archers began to gather... From this short moment of reaction, perhaps you know why the fierce and savage Beihuang people have not succeeded in laying down Titus North.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... At this moment, a large number of arrows suddenly shot from the jungle next to the clearing, and rain fell from the soldiers' heads.
peng peng peng ...Most of the arrows were blocked by the shield, of course, also caused a certain amount of damage. Nailed directly to the ground, the blood flowed on the ground and was instantly diluted by the rain.
Swish, swish, swish... Swish, swish, swish... After a round of arrow rain, pause for a while, and the second round and third round of arrow rain will come in an instant. However, the effect of these two rounds of arrow rain is minimal. The soldiers of the Three Great Legions have all been on the battlefield, and any gap will be caught by them.
"Damn, come again... Soldiers on the left and right flanks listen to the order and attack and close the encirclement. The archer listens to the order, go to the northwest, and suppress me!" A sturdy man stepped out of the tent, angrily roared .
The voice landed, and the long spear soldiers on the left and right flanks rushed out like a long dragon without the slightest hesitation, quickly encircling the jungle. At the same time, a large number of arrow branches were shot back into the jungle, and the sound of piercing the forest and hitting the leaves kept coming.
But at this time, the attack in jungle is already disappeared. After the rain of arrows of the soldiers entered, there was no miserable scream.
Soon, the sortie soldiers walked out of the jungle, and the Captain officers in front were all helpless shrugged, indicating that there was no gain, and there was no one inside.
Seeing this, the big man said with a gloomy face: "The scout team expands the search area and strengthens the alert!" After speaking, he lifted the curtain and walked into the big tent.
The tent was quite large and many people gathered. At this time, most of them were discussing constantly around the map. In the due east, there are two generals in Advanced armor.
"How is it, General Barlow?" a gloomy middle aged general asked.
"Damn, what else can I do... run away." The big man sat down depressed, grabbed the kettle in front of the table and took a sip.
"These Grey Cloth Armed Forces...Alas, can't be underestimated!"
These three generals are naturally Ralph, Barlow and Gehry. The Grey Cloth Armed Force's larger-than-expected number of combatants led the trio to gather Legion in pursuit.
Although the number of both sides is almost equal now, the strength of the regular army is beyond doubt. So Barlow and the others are not worried about not being able to win. The problem now is that they simply don't have a chance to fight... Since the last time Grey Cloth Armed Force broke through from Cang Yan Legion, they have never directly fought against them. Note that it is direct. Grey Cloth Armed Force daily sneak attack harassment is constant.
Originally, the army was advancing, and there were scouts in front of them to explore the way. Under normal circumstances, the possibility of such a sudden attack would be eliminated. But where is this? This is the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. All kinds of strange terrain make the scouts feel helpless. For example, there is a steep mountain in front, and before the scouts can climb up, the troops behind all come, and then a large number of arrows rain down on it. Another example is passing through a large jungle, no matter how many scouts there are, there will inevitably be omissions. Then, when Legion passed by, there was another arrow rain as it should be by rights... Although this situation was deliberately guarded, the damage was not great. But always like this, it will undoubtedly affect the morale of the soldiers. It's not that Barlow and the others never thought to lure out these sneak attack troops, but the opponents were longbowmen every time, and they only released three rounds of arrow rain at most. Even if the opportunity is good, they will retreat decisively. If you don't eat the bait, you won't be able to catch it... The elite soldiers of the Three Great Legions will not be able to use it. Barlow and the others are quite depressed now.
"Just wait!" Ralph, who was sitting on the side for a long time, finally said a word.
Although it's a bit vague, but the other two can understand it.
Phew... Barlow spit out one mouthful of impure air: "Yes, let them be arrogant for two more days. When the lord's soldiers are in place, I will let them see what is called the Titus regular army! "
"Lord's soldiers... I'm afraid they won't work!" Gary looked rather disdainful.
"You don't need them to be useful." Barlow carefree said, "As long as they can reach the designated location at the specified time and block the road of the Grey Cloth Armed Force. tsk tsk tsk, even if it is more than 20,000 heads. Pig, let's kill it for a while, enough for us to get there."
"hmph..." Gary snorted, but he didn't disagree with Barlow's statement.
When they knew that the main force of the Grey Cloth Armed Force was in the valley, the Three Great Legions came directly to encircle and suppress it, and the soldiers of the four lords were arranged to guard the periphery to make soy sauce. Unexpectedly, in the end, the Grey Cloth Armed Force broke through from the west. The siege battle turned into a long-term pursuit battle, and Barlow and the others thought of those lord soldiers at this time. At that time, only the soldiers of Lord Solomon were guarding the west, and it was definitely impossible to stop them. The three generals discussed it, and simply let it keep retreating, and then sent scouts to notify the lords in other directions to keep moving towards Solomon.
Actually, the Three Great Legions are currently camping on time and having meals on time. It seems that they are chasing at a moderate pace, but it is actually a strategy. They are driving the Grey Cloth Armed Force's escape rhythm. At present, this strategy is effective. Grey Cloth Armed Force is not rushing desperately, but has spent some time on these constant sneak attacks.
One trade off and one trades off, so that as long as the soldiers of the three lords travel a little more each day, Federation eventually overtakes the Grey Cloth Armed Force by the side, and then meets Lord Solomon. and. As long as they're stuck in front of the Grey Cloth Armed Force...well, Barlow's right, even with 20,000 pigs stuck in a road, it's going to take a lot of work to clear it up, isn't it?
At this time, the curtain of the big tent was lifted, and a messenger came in.
"General, this is a dispatch from the rear armament department." The soldier was from Thunder Legion, so he naturally gave the letter to Barlow.
"en." Barlow nodded slightly and took it apart at will: "Arms Department? Supplies have been delivered? When did those officials work so efficiently..."
Bang ! huā lā !
The sound stopped and the desk fell apart! Barlow's palm stopped in midair, his face dark.
There was silence in the tent, only the sound of raindrops hitting the top of the tent, and everyone turned their attention.
"General Barlow?" Gehry questioned.
pa pa! stretched make a move and squeezed the palm tightly, retracted, the knuckles cracked, and Barlow's chest Rapid Speed gasped a few times: "Idiot made a mistake! Idiot made a mistake... Most of the supplies were burned on the way. !"
"What?" Gary was startled, his eyes widened instantly! On the other side, Ralph, who had always been expressionless, was also full of surprise at this time.
Wow—the officers in the tent were also shocked by the news, and immediately discussed spiritedly.
The people in the armament department didn't dare to hide the news. In fact, this news cannot be concealed. Otherwise, if the troops go on a general attack tomorrow, and the food delivered today cannot fill the stomachs of the soldiers, then the problem will be a big one.
"How could it be 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, they have this Courage?"
"It says Grey Cloth Armed Force..."
"Uh..." Gary looked at Barlow, his tone a little inexplicable, "What did you say... ...Grey Cloth Armed Force? Then what are we chasing..."
Ralph picked up the paper on the ground at this point, frowned watching.
"It's a small group of Grey Cloth Armed Force. It seems that there are only a dozen people... What a shame!" Having said that, Barlow made a move again, but there was no table at this time. Ready to shoot.
"A dozen people...burned more than half of the supplies..." Gary's face was gloomy as if dripping with water, and he growled in a low voice, "The shame of the soldier, it should go directly to the hanging post!"
"Strange." Ralph looked at the letter, raised his head and said, "Where did it come from?"
Naturally, he was talking about the dozen or so people who were cooking food. This was indeed a question. . If the Grey Cloth Armed Force were to stay behind, it would be impossible to send so few people. But no matter how he thinks, he won't know, this is just a bunch of miserable get unjustly ridiculed people.
"I don't care where they came from." Gary's murderous aura squinted, "I just want to know when they die!"
"It won't burn if it rains. Stuff... The letter said that the extermination team had been dispatched, so it should be dead now." After many years of fighting, he has seen a lot of wind and waves, Barlow finally suppressed his anger at this time, and then smiled wryly at the head, "This group People die without regret, but our plan, sigh..."
The materials couldn't keep up, and their original plan to catch up with the Grey Cloth Armed Force in the past two days was naturally a total failure.
"Come on, order the scouts to notify the lord's soldiers immediately and let them run a section of the road ahead. As for the specific attack time...we will let us know the specific time." Barlow I was also afraid of the group of idiots in the rear. Before the arrival of the supplies, I simply did not dare to set an exact time. Then, when he thought that because of this, he would have to endure the sneak attack of Grey Cloth Armed Force for a few more days, he couldn't help but raised his head and sighed: "A liger-like opponent is terrifying, but this pig... a teammate who is inferior to a pig is the real teammate. Scourge!"
