Chapter 1360: The Peacekeepers' Counterattack
Why did Lockson's men know that Pique's men would suddenly make a move? Could it be that they had the ability to predict the future?
Of course not.
The reason why they knew was that someone had told the head of the Rockson mercenary group about it.
Although on the surface, the person in charge of directing the battle this time is Borat, but after all, he is a member of the Piqué mercenary group. Although during the battle, according to the instructions above, these unruly mercenaries will still honestly obey his battle arrangement, but this does not mean that they will be so relieved of Borat.
So, whether it's Crickes or Rockson, they all send their own henchmen to take charge of their respective troops. If Borat gives an order that is detrimental to the interests of their respective groups, they have the right to refuse.
Of course, even if there are some decisions that will not harm the interests of the group to which they belong, the two of them may directly oppose it.
The mercenaries themselves are unruly, and they can command them unless they have the power to override them. And Borat, who is only the titular commander, obviously does not have this power.
When Zhao Yuanshuo returned from Peake, Li Yalei went to contact the actual rulers of the Rockson group. What Li Ya said was naturally a revised plan.
With Li Yalei's eloquence, it took nearly a few days to finally convince the representatives of the Lockson group. At the same time, Li Yalei also got the opportunity to have a video call with Roqueson, in the video call, the focus of Li Yalei's words is naturally the struggle between the interests of the three parties after the peacekeeping force was captured.
And Li Yalei can see this, as the leader of one of the three major mercenary groups, Lockson, can naturally also see it.
And this is also the reason why Lockson agreed to a video call with Li Yalei.
Now in this world, there are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies, and there are only eternal interests.
It's like the mercenaries and peacekeepers in the past, because the peacekeepers are stationed in the Rock Kingdom, so all the mercenaries can only act cautiously. At that time, the elimination of peacekeeping forces was the most important goal in the minds of all mercenary groups.
But time flies, and the years change. By now, the peacekeepers, who had thousands of people and could resist the 100,000-strong army with their camps, had now been completely disabled.
By going to hundreds of people, no matter how strong their combat effectiveness is, even if they have a strong camp that can be used as a barrier for defense, but with only a few hundred people, how big can the camp they can defend be?
The camp is smaller, and to a certain extent, it does have the advantage of allowing the peacekeepers to concentrate their firepower and defense, but on the other hand, it can also allow the mercenaries who come to attack the camp to concentrate their forces more.
When the forces are concentrated, the density of the forces that can be gathered on the side with only a few hundred men is still less than that of the side with more people.
This also means that although they concentrate their forces on defense, they have to face several times the intensity of the attack density.
Under the trade-off, it is really unknown whether it is right or wrong to shrink the force.
And Li Yalei also told Pique about this. This is the current badness of the peacekeeping forces, and only by taking the initiative to speak out about their disadvantages can they show their sincerity.
And Lockson also knows this, so he expressed a good interest in the cooperation agreement proposed by Li Yalei. Only the weak will think of uniting with the strong, and as the strong, Rockson wants to cooperate more, but the strength is better for the person who is not very strong.
After all, once the plan is successful, when the benefits are shared in the future, it will definitely be a weaker opponent, so it will be more convenient to divide the greater interests in the subsequent actions, right?
And if it was before, the peacekeepers would not have cooperated with Lockson's death. But the current peacekeeping force has only a few hundred people. Moreover, this is the addition of people from the cooking class and the medical team.
With these hundreds of people, if you want to pose a threat to yourself, who has tens of thousands of people, it is basically a dream.
Speaking from the heart, in terms of single-round combat strength, the soldiers of the peacekeeping forces are a little stronger than the mercenaries in terms of combat effectiveness. But it's only a little stronger. A few hundred peacekeepers can give them a little more combat effectiveness, so that they can fight one against two, at most they can deal with less than 2,000 people.
But how could there be only 2,000 of Rockson's subordinates? Therefore, for Li Yalei, who is now coming to the door to seek cooperation, Lockson has no reason to refuse at all.
Li Yalei's plan to Pique is basically the same as the plan Zhao Yuanshuo said to Pique. It's just that the targets have become Pique and Cricks.
As for Roqueson's question about why he wanted to work with him alone, instead of Pique and Cricks, Li Yalei's answer was this.
"Pique's strength is too strong, but in the Locke Kingdom, his power is not as strong as Crickes and you, and it is not a wise choice to find Pique. As for Cricks...... In successive encounters, the number of Crickes' subordinates who were dealt with by the peacekeepers was simply too large. If you go to find Cricks' cooperation now, it will be very difficult to finish the words you want to lobby, let alone the rest of the things after that. ”
As for Li Yalei's answer, Lockson was very satisfied.
However, because it took a few days to convince Lockson's subordinates, and then to persuade Lockson, it took about a week, plus the subsequent preparations, so it was not until two weeks later that they began to act.
And coincidentally, the mercenaries and peacekeepers, as well as Lock, Kucha Khan, and the border garrisons, they all chose to be on the same day.
The reason is simple, this day is a total lunar eclipse, and it is the best chance to sneak attack.
And it is precisely because of this that when Pique's subordinates and Lockson's subordinates suddenly shot at each other, both sides just thought that the other party had been wary of themselves for a long time, and they didn't think that someone was designing them, and the only thing that saw the problem was Borat was killed by the best sniper in the peacekeeping force with a headshot before he could stop it.
For this person who induced 1,000 soldiers of the peacekeeping force to go out, and finally left most of the more than 800 soldiers of the peacekeeping force, the soldiers of the peacekeeping force hated Borat to the core.
At this time, Borat was sniped by the soldiers of the peacekeeping force, which can be regarded as a causal cycle.
Time passed gradually, and the periphery of the oil well was already a river of blood. Except for the unlucky Crix's subordinates who were caught in the middle, they had no time to react at all, and they had already been knocked down, whether it was Pique's subordinates or Lockson's subordinates, at this time they had quickly run out of bullets in their guns. At this time, the number of mercenaries outside the camp was only about 5,000.
Now that the bullets are gone, it's better to fight hand-to-hand!
For a well-trained mercenary, any part of the body can be used as a weapon.
In the same way, their fists, feet and teeth are the best weapons.
Even though there were only a few sporadic shots outside, the peacekeepers and mercenaries inside the well still did not attack. They are waiting for their time.
Now, although the combat strength of both sides has dropped to an unprecedented low, there are still thousands of people after all. If you go out now, with the weapons in your hands, it will not be difficult to defeat the few thousand mercenaries who are still alive. But what is even more difficult is how to eliminate as many mercenaries as possible, and at the same time ensure that the losses that the peacekeepers have to endure are reduced to a very small number.
After all, compared to all the troops, the casualty level of almost one in ten peacekeeping forces, except for the army of the Rock Kingdom that was estimated by the whole army of the mercenaries when the mercenaries were encircled and suppressed last time, the proportion of losses suffered by the rest of the armed forces in a period of time is not as large as the losses of the peacekeeping forces.
Now there are fewer and fewer soldiers in the peacekeeping force, and the internal situation in the Rock Kingdom is now unknown. No one knows what the future successor's attitude will be toward China or what attitude he will have towards the peacekeeping forces.
Therefore, now there is one less soldier in the peacekeeping force, and it is absolutely impossible to screen out some people from the Chinese army again to fill the gap in the army of the Rock Kingdom.
This is also why Li Yalei spared no effort to run over and discuss countermeasures with Zhao Yuanshuo and Yang Xiaotian. In order to be able to deceive Rockson.
Even though he knew that Roxon was one of the three culprits who caused the number of peacekeepers to lose so much in one go, he did not hesitate to do so.
And now it seems that he, as the actual captain, did not hesitate to meet with the enemy, did not hesitate to cooperate with the enemy, sacrificed face and dignity, and at the same time hid the anger in his heart, and all this was an unprecedented victory.
And the impact that this victory can bring can definitely make him even if he does not make achievements in the rest of his life, he can definitely brag to his brother for a lifetime.
Strange to say, when the shouting and killing outside finally stopped, the moon in the sky gradually appeared. The pure moonlight shone down on the earth, as if it had mercy on the soldiers who had died in battle.
It's just that all this is not the end, but a new beginning!
