Chapter 42: What Happened Before the Battle 4

The team leader drew a big cross in the middle of the simple map he had just drawn, from the alert observation point to the "road of shock", and then he put the small stone in his hand back into the simple map, which belonged to the location of the camp, and continued to explain to the team leader.

"The demonic beasts that hunt at night are basically small demonic beasts, although there are many very powerful ones, but with the factor of the river, there is a second route for the escapee. ”

The captain of the detachment finally became curious and recovered from the silence: "What do you say?"

Team Leader: "The demonic beasts that hunt by the river at night are basically not powerful. Anyone who has dealt with Warcraft should know that this is a precious knowledge passed down from their ancestors. ”

The squad leader nodded in agreement.

Team Leader: "Therefore, the escapees from the camp to the river, and then go upstream along the river, to reach the mainstream of this river, and then they will reach the 'Road of Shock', the team leader should know that there is a section of the main stream of this river that flows parallel to the 'Road of Shock'." ”

The captain of the detachment couldn't say anything, he didn't think of this at all, so he had to nod again.

Team Leader: "After reaching the 'Road of Shock', we can go back to Versailles if we go back, but when they come to this section of the road in front of us, they have to take risks and avoid the guard observation point. Rather than take this risk, they chose to follow the river's main stream downstream, past the mysterious and dangerous 'Devil's Lake Island', and then east to the Empire's 'Hilly Line' on the northeastern border, which was more dangerous and longer. ”

The detachment leader suddenly thought of something, and immediately said: "No! These escapees should be discovered as soon as they leave the camp! However, there are cavalry brigades and cavalry supplementary brigades stationed by the river, and the cavalry have many horses and need a lot of water, so they need to be stationed by the river!"

Team Leader: "Yes, but think about it, which brigade of our army often goes to the river to fetch water?"

Detachment Leader: "What do you mean? Could it be that there will be many deserters in the Cavalry Brigade and the Cavalry Supplementary Brigade?"

Team Leader: "No, no, no, there may be people in the two teams who want to be deserters, but they definitely didn't have a chance to escape last night." ”

Squad Leader: "Huh?"

Leader: "The cavalry brigade and the cavalry supplementary brigade, although they need to go to the river often to fetch water, because they have more horses, but they ......"

Captain: "But what? ”

Team Leader: "The next is just my guess, and when you go back to the barracks and find out that you are wrong, don't blame me." ”

Captain: "Okay, okay, we're bored, let's have a deduction and have fun!"

Team Leader: "Actually, compared with the Cavalry Brigade and the Cavalry Supplement Brigade, the people of the Logistics Brigade will go to the river to get water a little more, because they are responsible for the water supply of all personnel except the Cavalry Brigade and the Cavalry Supplement Brigade!"

Detachment Leader: "Yes, the soldiers and horses of our 'Rangers' were picked up in the logistics brigade!"

Team Leader: "Yes, did you see it on the way here, the cavalry brigade is all fully armed and marching, that equipment, tsk...... Especially when they went up the mountain, they completely climbed up, and the supplementary brigade that assisted them was tired enough. ”

The detachment leader deducted his head: "You mean, the cavalry brigade and the cavalry supplement brigade stationed by the river, they are too tired, and no one is on duty at all? Also, on the way here, our reconnaissance mission is so heavy, how can you still have the leisure to observe the situation of other brigades?"

The team leader was a little embarrassed, waved his hand and said, "Captain, what you said later is not the point, the focus is on the front ......."

The detachment commander pretended to be angry and said: "I think the latter is the main point! Tell me what's going on! Otherwise, I'll tell you about military regulations!"

Team Leader: "Okay, okay, I'll say I'...... When we scouted together, was it quiet for the second half of the day, and always followed you?"

The squad leader thought for a moment and nodded.

Team Leader: "That's because...... Because I'm napping...... My horse is very good, I can follow the horse I know and walk on its own! Do you want to know how my horse was trained? I'll tell you......"

Squad Leader: "Stop! When you were on a mission, you dared to sleep!"

Team Leader: "Well, that's not the point, the point is how my horse was trained......"

The team leader pointed at the team leader: "You still give me a sloppy look!"

The team leader looked innocent and said: "I'm not lazy, and then I have the energy to observe and think, you all went to sleep after the reconnaissance, and I did it alone to receive supplies, get new tasks, find warning points, and even cook......

Squad Leader: "You...... Alas...... Forget it, let's move on to the previous one. ”

The team leader smiled flatteringly and said, "There are a lot of them, haha, and then the previous one...... My horse......"

The team leader couldn't hold back this time, and gave the team leader a "big pineapple": "Talk about deserters!"

The team leader touched the skull of the knocked head, and knew in his heart that the team leader would definitely not trouble him again because of laziness in the future, and became relaxed again: "Okay, you see, now, the escape route of the deserter is available, and the approximate candidate for the deserter is almost determined." ”

Squad Leader: "Who is the deserter?" I didn't say anything about it just now!"

Team Leader: "Didn't I say that......? I was so scared of you that I forgot about it...... Well, the deserters must have been in constant contact with the river, right? The cavalry brigade and the cavalry supplement brigade were too tired from marching, and when they arrived at the camp assigned to them, they had to build camps, erect tents, feed the horses, and so on, they must have no heart or energy to defect. ”

Captain: "Hmm. ”

Team Leader: "The scope of the deserters is in the logistics brigade and the families of the soldiers. You said earlier that they would definitely be discovered by the cavalry camp when they escaped, and here is a matter of story. ”

Detachment Leader: "What's the matter? Just deduce a defector, and still involve so many things?"

Team Leader: "Yes, everything happens because of a lot of other things. ”

Captain: "......"

Team leader: "Yesterday, our whole army was basically tired enough, so the logistics brigade still gave us rice that was troublesome to make and even more troublesome to eat?"

Captain: "The rice is delicious, let's have a meal." ”

The team leader shook his finger: "No, the extra meal is an excuse, they want to use their hands and feet on the 'disinfectant'!"

Captain: "No way, we all drank disinfectant, and there was no problem at all." ”

Team Leader: "No, their goal doesn't need to be the whole army, that's too risky, they just need to deal with the cavalry brigade and the cavalry supplement brigade, weaken the effect of their 'disinfectant' a little, make them feel very tired and sleepy!" and the cavalry is the most tired ...... in the whole army."

The captain of the detachment suddenly realized: "The logistics brigade ...... There are even the families of the fighters, who were deserters last night! Moreover, it is impossible for anyone to find out about their escape."

Team Leader: "The chance of being found before was very small, and before I came to change the guard, I saw that the camp was very normal, which means that those deserters must not have been found!"

After hearing this, the team leader felt inexplicably tightened, got up and walked back and forth in front of the team leader.

The team leader persuaded: "Captain, now we can't say anything and can't do anything, and we will be implicated if we say and do." And I'm just speculating, why don't you go back to the barracks for breakfast first?"

The detachment leader had to sigh again and said, "Alas, that's the only way, after talking for so long, I should go back, I'll go back and see if your speculation is right." ”

The team leader also stood up, feeling that he should say something to the team leader, but he didn't know what to say, so he shook his head and reflexively walked towards the observation and hiding point.

The detachment leader stood for a while, and then called the soldiers on duty with him and walked to the barracks......

"Have you heard? The people in the logistics brigade have become deserters!"

"Won't they?

"Really, the acting captain was the only one left in the entire camp, and in the early morning, the acting captain was still asking everywhere where his people were. ”

"Who is the acting captain? Such a stupid person, he didn't even know that all his soldiers had run away. ”

"Isn't it the same lieutenant I used to be? ”

"Adjutant, what are you talking about......"

"Which of our lieutenants in Versailles do we have?"

"Oh......"

On the way back to the barracks, most of the people he met by the detachment leader were talking about the desertion of the whole logistics brigade, and he had already learned about the situation from the leader of the first group, so he did not participate in the gossip on the road.

Although the team leader claimed that his words were speculation, the team leader thought in his heart that perhaps the team leader's speculation was closer to the truth than these roadside gossip.

What the detachment leader did not expect was that in this incident, the adjutant who had "traveled south and north" with him in Versailles once again became the "lone wanderer" of the logistics brigade......

"Where has the garrison of the Fort of Versailles, which was once well disciplined and united, gone? How long has it been since we have become like this...... The leader of the detachment thought of the garrison of the Fort of Versailles, which had been established after many twists and turns, and the identity that he was proud of.

"It seems that after the Holy Messenger came...... No, it's because we betrayed the council and it's already started to change......"

"In the past, in addition to training soldiers, I only had to eat and sleep, but now I have to think about it a little more, otherwise I will come to the point of no return. ”

"Hehe, when the accident happened the night before yesterday, I still wanted to avoid punishment and be alone, and in the end, it was still like this...... My squad leader only worked in the first group, and the other 'rangers' started to distrust me......"

"It's all like this, why do you care about deserters, let's protect ourselves first...... Alas......"

The detachment leader ended his thoughts with another deep sigh, and then he realized that he was already standing in front of the camp of General Arthur's own troops.

"General, shall we go in? I'll go tell the sentry. The soldier who was on duty with the detachment leader followed the detachment leader very dutifully, and when he saw that the detachment leader had finished his contemplation, he went out and spoke.

"No, let's go back......" The team leader turned around and left.

The soldier touched his head strangely, and had to continue to follow behind the detachment leader.

At this time, the pro-soldier camp was already gathering soldiers to chase the deserters......
