Chapter 50: Silence in an instant
The atmosphere on the watchtower was rather cold, and several of the Saran soldiers were standing a little irritated. In the days since the tower was built, they have not done anything except stand guard and lookout.
However, judging from the current situation, there was no sound of Sauron's soldiers around, and there was no sign of an enemy coming.
"Will it be a wasted effort?"
Standing guard at the top of the watchtower in the open air, one of the soldiers got bored and asked a question. He had a sky-high hairstyle, and his sideburns were still cocked.
But at the moment when he spoke, another soldier next to him glared, "Hey, what nonsense are you talking about? This method was personally thought up by our Marshal Shen, how could it be in vain?"
The glaring soldier had a square face with black moles on it.
"But...... It's been a few days, and there's no sign of Sauron's soldiers, and the other towers are also silent!"
"Just because you don't come now doesn't mean you won't come in the future. In short, our current task is to stand guard here and prevent the Sauron Empire from attacking. ”
"Alright!" the soldiers with their hair up suddenly looked a little dejected.
At this moment, another soldier joined the conversation. He was relatively short, and his hair was as pale as a silver thread, but his actual age was only twenty-five.
"But have you noticed a thing! Honestly...... Does this work?" the white-haired man deliberately approached the man with a mole on his face.
Probably hearing something funny, most of the soldiers actually chuckled.
"How can you think it's useless?"
"I just don't think it's very useful. Since the location of the watchtower is dead, can it really prevent the invasion of the Sauron Empire?" the white-haired man continued to assert his opinion.
"The role of the watchtower is not to guard against enemy attacks, but to serve as a warning. As soon as we see signs of Sauron's attack in the distance, we will immediately set fire to the haystack in the center of the top of the tower, so that we can alert the main force in the Yokoga camp. The square-faced soldier with a mole seemed to be gushing.
"That's the way it is, so we have to work harder! Another soldier spoke, a twenty-year-old man with lips like ducks.
"But......" The white-haired man seemed to have something to say, but he stopped every time the words came to his lips.
"Yang Wenbin, what's wrong with you, if you have anything to say, just say it quickly!" the square-faced mole man asked curiously.
The white-haired man Yang Wenbin shrugged his shoulders in relief, as if to say: This is what you asked me to say.
"Don't you all notice a problem? and that's the defense capability of our watchtowers themselves. If the enemy comes in an instant, will we be able to withstand it safely?"
After Yang Wenbin's words fell, it gave rise to some blinking movements of the soldiers. Others also expressed the meaning of 'yes, yes'.
But the square-faced mole man didn't care at all, and he also cast a disdainful glance at Yang Wenbin, "Yang Wenbin! You can't help but think too much! How could the enemy kill us in an instant? Even a powerful enemy can't completely 'click' all the dozens of soldiers in our tower in a few seconds." ”
"Ahh......h
"Oh, you don't want to, but, what are you worrying about? Anyway, the task given to us from above is to set fire to the haystack as soon as we see an enemy. Then the enemy will have nothing to hide. ”
"You're very light, but I always feel ...... I always feel that there is a loophole in this method!"
"The loophole is also your imagination, anyway, you just need to remember that if an enemy comes, you will set fire to the haystack, and the smoke that flies up will serve as a reminder to the troops in Yokoga Barracks. ”
"But it's still what I just said! If the enemy comes and kills us all suddenly, won't we even have a chance to set fire to the haystack?" Yang Wenbin blinked, glancing at almost all the soldiers standing guard.
"Oh, why are you this kind of problem again, I just stressed it to you. It's impossible to kill us all in an instant. The square-faced mole's hand swung straight, probably from overwork, and the sword in his hand was thrown to the ground.
"How can you be so sure? I think ......."
"Don't you think what you are what you are, it's impossible to kill us in an instant. It's okay to say on the open plain, but in this closed space in the style of a sentry tower, where can we be killed in an instant?"
"But......
"If you say impossible, you can't do it. ”
The soldiers seemed to support the square-faced man's remarks, cheering him on so hard that he could let out a 'shout' to the end.
For a while, the white-haired man Yang Wenbin felt that he was isolated.
"Okay, Yang Wenbin, don't think about it anymore, in short, the person who can kill us quickly will definitely never exist. You don't want to be in ......."
Suddenly, the square-faced mole man's voice stopped. His whole body twitched strangely, and his mouth still let out a tragic 'ahh' sound.
The surrounding soldiers seemed to be a little confused, so they quickly dispersed towards the surroundings. They all looked at the strange square-faced mole man with a very puzzled look.
"Chen Dong, what's wrong with you?"
The name of the square-faced mole man is Chen Dong, and he is also the squad leader in the watchtower.
Chen Dong kept making strange noises, and desperately covered his neck with his hands. Everyone is becoming more and more puzzled by his series of actions.
Knowing that a trace of blood flowed between Chen Dong's fingers, he looked extremely painful, and it didn't take long for him to collapse.
Suddenly, the team was in chaos, and most of the soldiers were a little unsure of what to do.
That is, Yang Wenbin, he seemed to feel some threat, so he shouted out a sentence that had just rushed out of his heart, "Ah...... There are enemies! There are enemies!"
Most of the soldiers heard the roar, and a few immediately reacted and ran to the haystack in the center of the tower. They wanted to set fire to the haystack as a warning of an enemy attack on the border tower.
But this reaction was already too late, and a large number of soldiers began to fall to the ground without warning. Most of them have several wounds on their bodies after twitching. Then, without knowing anything, he fell to the ground.
Every soldier had time to run to the haystack, and as Yang Wenbin said, they were all killed in an instant by an unknown thing.
Yang Wenbin was stabbed in the heart, but he never saw the appearance of the enemy. When he fell to the ground, there were companions who were inexplicably plugged around.
A large number of cries and cries for help were released, but they did not help to escape. In the blink of an eye, the soldiers at the top of the tower all fell, and it seemed that they had no power to fight back at all.
Yang Wenbin continued to hold on, and half of his face was already tightly pressed to the ground. Even though he couldn't breathe anymore, he still wanted to be able to get up quickly.
He wanted to set the tower on fire so that he could alert his companions.
But......
He had no strength at all, and under fear and helplessness, he gradually felt powerless. His eyelids were also heavy and he was about to close slowly, and he eventually lost to exhaustion.
In this way, Yang Wenbin closed his eyes completely.
In fact, there were many soldiers like him at the top of the tower, who wanted to get up in their hearts, but they couldn't resist the physical injuries, and they all closed their eyes forever.
In just a few seconds, all the Saran soldiers at the top of the tower were dead. The murderer was merciless and without any delay. Almost instantaneously, he completed the slaughter of the Saran soldiers in this watchtower.
Shortly after the soldiers fell, a cloud of smoke gradually began to appear. Then, the smoke turned into a figure again.
"Hehe! hehe! It's really vulnerable!" After all the figures appeared, they seemed to be still laughing at the people he had just killed.
He looked at the hilt of his sword, which was already red with blood, and said, "Ah! You must have enjoyed the slaughter!ahahaha......" he began to laugh again, his body twitching from time to time.
"Hey, General Li Shuangjue, have you completed your mission?"
Li Shuangjue immediately recognized who the voice was coming from, and he slowly walked towards the edge of the top of the tower. Looking in the direction of the Sauron Kingdom, he did see a pair of centaurs walking slowly.
"Oh, why are you in such a hurry? Can't you let me be like the two before me, and take a good look at the time of the watchtower? After all, everything must be cautious!" Li Shuangjue shook his shoulders and beckoned to the people and horses who were walking from time to time below.
Generalissimo Lian Yunpo showed a smile on his face, and he quickly entered the watchtower.
After meeting with that group of people, Li Shuangjue made a respectful salute to Generalissimo Lian Yunpo with interest, "Generalissimo!
"You don't need to say hello to me, because I'm here to thank you!" Lian Yun raised his arm quite casually, "You have really done a great job! No, three watchtowers have already fallen into our hands, and none of them have been lit by the fire." ”
"The methods of the Sarans are immature, didn't they think that there was a very powerful assassin here?" Li Shuangjue let out a hooked smile.
"Yes! It seems that their plan has absolutely failed. Then, it's time for us to put our plans into action. ”
Lian Yunpo's speech also caused the subordinates behind him to echo him, and most of them showed extremely excited looks.
Indeed, as Lian Yunpo said, after taking out the Saran guards of one tower, they took out the two adjacent ones one after another. In this case, it would also indicate the complete bankruptcy of the Saran plan.
From the border between Sauron and Saran, it can be said that there is already a gap of fifteen kilometers. Only with Lian Yunpo's order, Sauron's army of 50,000 could pass through here, and then go around to the Yokoga military camp in Saran to achieve a surprise attack.
"The plan went even more smoothly than expected. Lian Yunpo showed a more exaggerated smile again.
"Yes, we should be able to wave the army when we are full, right?" said Deputy Marshal Guan Yunlong as he waved his arms.
Lian Yunpo leaned slightly, "Of course it's okay, we'll go back to the barracks right away." But...... I might as well ask General Li Shuangjue a question now. ”
Hearing that the generalissimo was going to ask him a question, Li Shuangjue bent his waist slightly, "What question does the generalissimo want to ask me?"
Lian Yunpo chuckled, "General Li Shuangjue! Why did you deliberately make such a big move when you slaughtered the [River Crab] to kill the Saran soldiers in this sentry tower? In the previous two sentry towers, you obviously chose to kill others in a silent way! However, you used all your strength to kill this tower alone. I and the rest of us were in the distance, and we heard your loud murderous voice!"
Li Shuangjue smiled immediately when he heard this, "Generalissimo! Actually, there are no other factors. I was just...... I just think it's the last watchtower anyway, so I might as well get some bigger ones!I really enjoy the thrill of slaughtering [river crabs] and killing Saran's soldiers. After saying that, he even flashed the hilt of the sword pinned to his waist.
"Wow! General Li Shuangjue! Your remarks are too dangerous. Guan Yunlong twitched the corner of his mouth in the back.
"Whoever told them to resist our Sauron, this is their due retribution. Li Shuangjue raised his head slightly, and he had a feeling of facing forward.
"But anyway, you've done a great job for us this time! Okay, let's go ahead and celebrate you in the barracks. Lian Yun excitedly also touched the hilt of the sword on his waist.
"Generalissimo Xie!"
After Lian Yunpo had dealt with Li Shuangjue, he turned around and gave an order to one of his subordinates, "Everyone should know the situation! Now, the three guard towers in Salan have been perfectly occupied by us, but they still don't know what to do! Let's wave our troops and start the late attack!"
After Lian Yunpo's words fell, his subordinates let out bursts of echoing voices.
Several of Sauron's soldiers also began to clean up the scene. What they had to do was actually very simple, that is, to change into the uniforms of the dead Saran soldiers, and completely give the watchtower to their friends.
Marshal Lian Yunpo and the other generals had to rush back to the camp at once and prepare the route for the attack.
"Soldiers, get to work! ...... Our armies will pass through here. Deputy Marshal Guan Yunlong also raised his hand, which has inspired people to be excited.
Thus, the occupation of the Saranite watchtower began to be carried out in full swing.
Lian Yunpo brought a pair of elite Sauron soldiers to replace the dead Saran soldiers. Because they are all human beings, there is no way to distinguish the difference between the two countries after changing the number.
"Give me the wit, hurry up and dispose of all the corpses of the Saran soldiers, and then change their clothes and armor. Remember, wipe every trace of blood from the tower so that Saran's patrols don't find it. ”
Lian Yunpo ordered every working Sauron soldier, and then waited for a chorus of 'yes' responses.
Lian Yunpo thought that the 30,000 horses he brought out didn't need to bother at all. Soldiers are the best of the best, and they can take on any position.
"Marshal Lian! I guess it won't take ten minutes to do this work!" Vice Marshal Guan Yunlong was complacent, as if he was about to start the war with Saran.
"Yes! Then let's go back to the barracks first, and then focus on the specific line of attack. ”
At Lian Yunpo's suggestion, the generals began to leave the watchtower.
But after walking out of the watchtower for a distance, Lian Yunpo still didn't forget to look back at him, "The so-called construction of the watchtower that cost so much manpower was cracked by us in a few efforts. Shen Mengting, you must not have thought of it! When the time comes, when our people go around to your rear, we will see how you should dismantle the moves! Hehehe...... Hehehe......'
With a smile on his face, he began to run wildly into his barracks.
Sauron's military camp was as calm as ever, but when Lian Yunpo and a group of his subordinates returned, everything seemed to have completely changed.
Quickly came to the general's hall, and Lian Yunpo immediately issued the marching order.
"Okay, I'm not going to talk nonsense, it's a once-in-a-lifetime moment. We can already go on the offensive. “
With a wave of Lian Yunpo's big hand, all the generals were ready to fight.
"So now I'm going to assign the task. First of all, Vice Marshal Guan Yunlong led 20,000 troops to march between the three guard towers we had just captured. Don't worry, it's all our people, and they're definitely not going to stop anything. Also, the length of a full fifteen kilometers is not enough to be discovered by other watchtowers. Anyway, this time we can march unimpeded. ”
"Yes, Generalissimo!" Guan Yunlong stepped out of the order.
"I'll assign a few more generals to follow you. Lian Yunpo looked at the others, "The two generals Sun Junfeng and Li Shuangjue listened to the order, and the two of you went to the rear of the Salan military camp with Deputy Marshal Guan Yunlong, and then ...... You should all understand. ”
"Ah, Generalissimo, aren't you going with us?" asked Sun Junfeng curiously.
"I need to stay in the barracks. Because, when the time comes, we will be flanking the Yokoga army in Saran, so I must stay here. ”
"Oh! I see. When Sun Junfeng heard this, he slowly retreated.
"Deputy Marshal Guan Yunlong, in about ten days, I will lead the army to attack the Henghe military camp. At that time, they will also definitely retire. So you should understand the plan after that. ”
"I know! I'll stop the Saranites' retreat. ”
After listening to the deputy marshal's arrogant words, Lian Yunpo also stepped to the center of the room, "Then let's start! The operation to encircle and suppress the Saran Henghe military camp has officially begun!"
