Chapter 254: War
They did eliminate a squad of giant warriors. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The mercenaries who arrived afterwards stood on top of the giant's corpse and grinned and took pictures with their companions, who were going to save this and show it off to their friends and relatives when they returned home.
This battle really gave them a lot of confidence and made them no longer nervous. Even Hassan, he happily took a few photos with the corpse of the giant warrior, and then nodded with satisfaction: "One day, I will slaughter a giant with my own hands, I will definitely be able to!"
But they never imagined that if an army of giants of thousands of men would charge them, but in any case, their victory over the giant warriors was something to celebrate. So a lot of people are elated. It's just that in addition to being happy, many people have begun to think about a question.
If there are samurai in armor, will there be a large army of giants? Even if their weapons are primitive, they are also lethal. Because they are giants. What's more, once they burst into the ranks, the thousand mercenaries were not enough for them to stuff their teeth.
And this probability is very high. After all, helicopters and tanks can only damage one or a few targets by hitting them, but they are not able to deal with group targets. There were some people who thought about it, but it was difficult to say it, but there was someone who expressed this concern, and that was Lieutenant Colonel Hank, the commander of all the mercenaries. He would have been a lieutenant colonel in the special forces.
This is his temporary assignment and also indicates the official background of the operation. What those mercenaries can think of, Lieutenant Colonel Hank can naturally think of. So he quickly went to see Mr. Welling. Mr. Welling met him at the camp's office, and motioned for Marina to bring Lieutenant Colonel Hank a cup of coffee.
Marina retreated, and Lieutenant Colonel Hank couldn't wait to say, "Maybe you've thought about it, what should we do now? If you want to win, you really don't have a lot of certainty. After all, we had to fly a lot to wipe out one of their squads, and if we met ......"
"I know, sir, I know!" Mr. Welling waved his hand, "I know what might happen. You name it, I'm sure I'll think of it. We are a special group in this world. Think about it, if this is a country, then ...... If there are samurai, then there must be civilians. There are opposing classes. ”
"I don't understand, sir!" Lieutenant Colonel Hank looked at him and frowned, "You want us to go and stand with the opposing class of samurai......? Why should they listen to us, why should they rebel against their samurai class?"
"This is a political matter, Lieutenant Colonel!" said Mr. Welling, smiling slightly, "no matter what social class, there is always one person who can stand up and lead the confrontation between classes." Even in our country, if someone stands up, then ...... The U.S. government will also be overwhelmed. ”
"But it is absolutely impossible to overthrow the US government, no matter who stands up, this will not succeed!" Lieutenant Colonel Hank said firmly, "This is impossible. ”
"But...... I said, do we need to succeed? Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, we don't need to succeed, we just need them to stand up and oppose it, just instigate them to rebel against tyranny, why do they have to succeed?" Mr. Welling said meaningfully to Lieutenant Colonel Hank, "This is politics, we don't want to overthrow anyone, we just need to get what we want in the process." It's called distraction, let's get out of it, and keep creating contradictions until we find the Rainbow Bridge and enter the world of Warner......"
Major Hank thought for a moment, then said, "So...... What about the people who resist?"
"That's their business, any resistance requires bloodshed, it takes constant failure to succeed, we gave them a way, but it doesn't mean that we have to lead them together, after all, we have a different purpose from them, we are not here to build a giant America!"
Lieutenant Colonel Hank thought about it, couldn't find any reason to refute it, so he gave a military salute and said, "Sir, then...... Good luck!"
"Good luck to us, Lieutenant Colonel!" said Mr. Welling, shaking his head and sighing, "Go ahead, just carry out every combat mission, and I'll take care of the rest!"
Lieutenant Colonel Hank left. The relaxed smile on Mr. Welling's face vanished. He said it lightly, but he hardly had any chance of success when it actually did it. Not to mention how he could get in touch with the opposing classes of those samurai, even if he did, it was really so easy to incite them to rebel?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Well, we can only take one step at a time. The bodies of those giants, hoisted by helicopters, transported to the sea and thrown down. Destroying the corpse is the best way. If undetected, Mr. Welling would even want to get in touch with the king here.
The point is that they are missing a translator, and that is Emilia. If only this woman were there. There are a lot of communication barriers, otherwise it will be more conducive to playing political tricks in this country.
But all of this can only be thought about. Let's take one step at a time. Mr. Welling sighed, and now he finally got a taste of what it was like to walk on thin ice. It's a feeling that makes you feel bad, but it's also a thrilling challenge.
Silent woods, undulating mountains, between the mountains, the wind gently floats the dense grass. Huge bodies crawled in the grass. Even if the fourth is like this, Jia Huan is only standing a little higher than their heads lying down. He was standing next to Mude's head.
Mude lifted his head and kept his eyes fixed on the ground. Then he looked at Jia Huan, although he didn't speak, his eyes were like a soldier acting on orders. Jia Huan stretched out his hand, touched his big nose, smiled, and calmed him down. These people were all lying there and looking at Jia Huan quietly.
Being able to listen to orders is the basic factor for winning battles. Jia Huan was very satisfied with the performance of these people. In fact, most of them have developed a habit of obedience, even if they suddenly change their identity, they still have this habit in their bones, so they show good obedience.
On a narrow road into the mountains, a pair of men and horses winded their way, and General Gesim, an experienced general, knew the dangers that might be encountered on this road, but it was the only way to get into the mountains to reach the lumberyards. So he had to keep going. Even before advancing, a large number of people were sent to reconnoitre.
But what was reported as a result was safety. There was no ambush. It is true that those scouts did not find the ambush, because Jia Huan had already prepared in advance and used a trick. It was forced to do so, because the battle was to raise the will of these loggers.
"General, there's a col ahead. The general's assistant was an officer in his thirties, he looked at General Gesim and said, "This place is the best place to ambush the army and flank us, do you want to reconnoiter again?"
Gesim looked at the mountains on either side of the front, and it was indeed like a giant pincer that would firmly embed itself in the middle, and it was good to be cautious. So he nodded. The officer immediately rode out and gave a loud order. Immediately, the reconnaissance cavalry scattered in all directions.
Then the officer raised his fist and ordered everyone to rest. Even if there is an ambush, it is necessary to be prepared before the battle. After three hours, the reconnaissance cavalry came back one after another to report that everything was safe. Gesim then asked the officers to start the group again. As an experienced general, prudence is a must.
As the team began to enter the canyon, Gesim had a message from the officers: "Get through here as soon as possible, you can't get through." It's about three miles long, and it's easy for our team of a thousand people to fall into it. ”
Then the officer could not help but say: "General, are you too cautious in this way? Through reconnaissance, it is impossible for those lumberjacks to ambush here." Maybe they've scared away, and there's nothing left! Again...... Would those slaves think like that?"
Gesim looked at the officer and smiled: "Don't underestimate anyone, the lumberjacks who can make the elite of more than a hundred people disappear are not simple in themselves. ”
While the two were talking, they suddenly saw a cavalryman running quickly, and then said to General Gesim: "General, General, our scout on the other side has been attacked and his whereabouts are unknown. There seemed to be traces of a fight. ”
Gesim frowned, a ten-man scouting elite, said that if it was gone, it would be gone. This shows that the situation is indeed more serious. But is it necessary to reverse course now? It's not realistic. The only way to do this is to get through this canyon as soon as possible, go to the lumberyard to investigate the situation, and then go back to find the reason for the attack on the scouts.
"Inform the vanguard to pass as soon as possible. Let's go!" General Gesim waved his horsewhip and immediately followed the group towards the narrow road. All he had to do now was get through here first. The team then rushed into the canyon. No matter how dangerous the canyon was, they just rushed forward, just trying to get through as soon as possible.
When the last man entered the canyon, he suddenly heard a loud bang behind him, and immediately heard a rumbling sound. It was as if something was rolling down from the sky. But it was the stones that rolled down, and it was rolled down from the mountains on both sides. Huge rocks blocked the back road.
"Rush!" Gesim had already understood at this time, he was ambushed, although some reasons were still unclear, but it did not prevent him from commanding on the spot. Break through the front as soon as possible to rush out. Now he just hopes that the front doesn't come like this. Otherwise, you will be stuck in the middle, and you can only wait for death.
But his good wishes were disappointed. When the vanguard rushed to the front section, it suddenly rolled down a huge stone from the mountain, making a "boom" sound, which immediately blocked the road ahead, and killed seven or eight knights.
"Rush up the mountain—" Gesim shouted, rushing towards the nearby hill. It was only about ten steps to climb up, and then a rumbling sound was heard, and huge stones rolled down from the hillside, and the soldiers who were just about to climb up were suddenly smashed on their backs.
Screams and shouts rang out. Others, led by Gesim, bravely rushed forward to the front. As soon as he rushed up, he suddenly heard a "buzzing" sound, as if it was a trembling sound from a bow and arrow.
The dozen or so people at the head were immediately shot through, rolled down the slope, rolled over a few times, and then did not move. But in order to save their lives, they still had to continue to rush upward, and the second wave of arrows came again, and there were only thirty arrows at a time, hitting twelve people, and they rolled down screaming.
"Fight back, fight back!" the officer shouted as he gathered the remnants of his men below, "Archers march forward, forward—" Gesim held on to a section of the slope under the officer's leadership. Waiting for the help of the archers.
"Ready--go!" the officer commanded loudly. The number of archers in the army reached as many as 300, and although there were only 170 or 80 of them just lost, this wave of arrows was much stronger than the ones shot down from the mountains.
There was a "hum-" sound, as if the air was shaking. A dense rain of arrows rained down from below, and immediately several of the archers among the lumberyard workers were shot and fell to the ground screaming. It also made their eyes red, and some people desperately leaned out and fired downwards.
But at this time, the mind is confused, and the accuracy is lost. A single salvo from the regular army made the lumberyard workers lose their proportion. The consequence of their death in archery was that under the impact of another rain of arrows, a dozen or so people fell. At this time, there were less than fifteen archers.
Jia Huan didn't deliberately protect the lumberjacks. He is only responsible for taking revenge on important personnel, such as his own team, and Mud and Ram. The rest of the ordinary lumberjacks had to bear the casualties. Let them understand that war is not all smooth sailing, there must be bloodshed.
"Ready-" The arrow array of the army below suppressed the attack from above, which made Gesim feel very happy, after all, the lumberjacks were a rabble, and they could not compare with the regular army, so he even had the idea of fighting back and winning. As long as it is done correctly, there should be no problem.
"Put-" With an order, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and the rain of arrows flew like a dark cloud covering the top, and came towards the remaining dozen or so archers who stood up and were ready to shoot arrows.
