Chapter 2: A Little Test (1)
"Get ready, have an idea!" After receiving the warning from the Guards soldier in charge of letting the wind out, a companion immediately ran into Agna and the others, who were still looting for loot.
However, this time, Aigna was not disturbed by the exile soldiers outside the village, but her eyes lit up as if she had taken a stimulant, and she immediately stopped searching and asked her companions, "Is it still a little challenging, how many of them are there?" ”
"Well, it seems like there are only about fifty of them. What should we do?"
Agna's excitement immediately vanished again, and she picked up a delicate porcelain bowl from the ground that had just been thrown away and broken, and felt distressed: "Forget it, let's let the cleaning team solve it, you'd better remind them, just say that a big meal is coming." Hey, my baby, I didn't expect it to be so broken. ”
The sweeping team that Aigna was talking about was the twenty-odd Guards soldiers who had been left behind to carry the spoils. The reason why Aigna called them this is not because she discriminates against them in the slightest, but because it is just a joke. Because of the long time of fighting side by side, every soldier of the Guards who came here by chance has a deep affection, and one of the last remnants of Magellan, plus the same members of the elite Guard, although it is possible that they did not know each other before, but now they have become an unprecedentedly united team, fighting for a common goal, that is, the restoration of the country.
As for why these twenty or so people were assigned to be specifically responsible for carrying the spoils of war and cleaning up the aftermath, it was not because they were weaker than the other guards, but only because Qi Tianci was divided according to the necessary arrangements at the beginning of this operation. And Qi Tianci will definitely not be divided into the carrying team and the main force according to the strength of the strength, but adopts an unexpected method, that is, drawing lots.
At the beginning of the detachment, Qi Tianci placed more than 90 black and white small stones that could be found in a pitch-black opaque bag, of which seventy-two white pebbles, and those who found the white small stones represented that they would be the main combat unit in the next operation, while on the contrary, those who found black stones were mainly responsible for logistics and cleaning the battlefield. Although Qi Tianci's method is inevitably suspected of being unscientific, it avoids internal contradictions to the greatest extent. Moreover, many subsequent operations have proved that this method is also the most reasonable way for this Guards in the current situation.
It is also worth mentioning that although Qi Tianci has many crooked ideas that people who existed in this world before have not thought of, this one idea is indeed not thought up by Qi Tianci, but by the orc tribe, the current friends of Magellan's remnants.
One day, Qi Tianci went to the camp of the wolf cavalry to wander around, but unexpectedly found that several wolf cavalry were using this method to simulate the war, which was quickly adopted by the nimble Qi Tianci. And in the following time, the orcs were also impressed by Qi Tianci's idea of stealing them, and took the same approach as the guards to deal with the battle.
Sure enough, after a Guards soldier went to the other side of the village and told the leader of the sweeping team, who was disgruntled and planned to bring the loot back, the thirty-year-old man immediately blossomed with joy. In his opinion, even if he found a woman with a beautiful country in the process of carrying the loot in the future, it would be better for him to go to the battlefield and fight with the enemies. And the same thing as he thought was that more than a dozen companions next to him also had the same idea in their hearts, although they were unlucky enough to choose the black stone, but their comrades left such a good thing for themselves, which made these porters have more deep feelings for their comrades.
"Hey, why aren't you leaving?" Just as the captain of the sweeping team was about to continue his departure, he found that the companion who had reported the news to him did not leave, but instead rode on the nearest horse without any weight, and seemed to be planning to attack with them.
"Don't talk nonsense. This companion was obviously consumed: "You didn't know the situation in the village before, but more than half of the twenty or so targets were run away before they were hit, so I haven't done it yet." And, this good news is what I tell you, so I'm going to divide it. ”
The captain of the sweeping team looked at the companion who followed him helplessly, smiled bitterly for a while, and then urged the war horse to drive in the direction pointed by the companion.
Unlike the twenty exile soldiers who guarded here before, this team of fifty people had participated in a formal war after all, and their hands were more or less stained with human blood, and it was true that the previous twenty exiles did not have any of them, and their combat awareness was naturally much richer than theirs. Not long after the sweepers started, the scouts of the exile team felt a sudden tremor on the ground. Sensing that something was wrong, the scouts immediately lay on the ground and carefully observed them with their ears, and only after five seconds did they shout at their leader in some panic: "Ride, cavalry!"
At first, the captain didn't understand what the scout was saying, and then the scout simply ran to his side and repeated loudly: "Cavalry, there are cavalry in the village! Let's get out of here!" At this time, they were still about a hundred meters away from the village, and above this distance was basically a flat road, which was simply the best place for the cavalry to exert their might.
The captain hurriedly ordered his subordinates to retreat quickly, and the more rugged the retreat, the better, in the early years, this leader was fortunate to survive a war of the Rohan Empire against the Vault Dweller's Hill, so the terrifying charge against the Rohan Empire's beast slaughter army is naturally fresh in his memory. And this experience saved him and his soldiers' lives.
By the time almost all of the exiles had withdrawn to a nearby high ground, the twenty sweepers had arrived. The captain of the sweep team, who had wasted his best opportunity, looked at the exiles on the high ground and slapped himself hard, and complained to his companions: "I said don't delay, you don't think it's too late." ”
The companion who reported the news also blamed himself for the delay he had just made, but he pointed to the fifty or so exiles halfway up the mountain in astonishment, speechless.
It turned out that when the leader of the exiles saw that there were only two dozen humans in front of him, he was annoyed and angry at what he had just panicked about, and led his soldiers to come down.
