Hathaway unfolded a map on the table, "This is the map of the lair of the Blood Sun Thieves provided by the intelligence department, let's take a look at it first." ”

She paused, and when the other two's eyes were focused on the map, she continued: "The number of the Blood Sun Thieves is indeed quite large, especially after this operation, they are all cowering in their lair, and they are not lightly surprised. So I have two questions...... First, do you think the thieves will go out of their way? Second, you've seen the terrain here, how many troops do you think can be deployed at one time? ”

Bowen. Cornett's eyes lit up: "My lord, I see what you mean!" You want to lure out the thieves little by little, and then eliminate them part by part! ”

Hathaway nodded and said, "That's right! I had this idea. In general, I want to lure the thieves out of their strongholds, and then lure them into our chosen battlefield, and finally fight the thieves in our way, and destroy these thieves who have plagued the Cordillera Plateau, as our methods and speed have been too gentle! But it's hard to say if those thieves did what I thought! ”

Sgart. Cancy nodded and said, "That's the crux of the matter!" ”

Hathaway nodded, "That's why I summoned you!" In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, I need to have enough depth and a certain amount of mobile force in this decoy operation! There is only this Lop Nur in the market town near the Blood Sun Thieves, and before I start the operation, I hope that all the civilians here can be evacuated, and the walls must be cleared! All domestic animals were taken away. If you can't take all the grain away, bury it, and fill up all the wells! I want to make a radius of dozens of miles a battlefield! ”

Bowen. Cornett suddenly said, "My lord, I'm afraid the townspeople here are not all innocent, right?" ”

Hathaway pondered for a moment and said, "They are here, even if there is a compromise, it can be forgiven, as long as they don't move, they don't need to pay attention to them, and when those thieves are exterminated, they will naturally become real civilians." ”

"So what else do we need to do?" Bowen. Cornett asked again.

Hathaway said, "You organize all the thieves (not the bandits) in the group. Responsible for delivering messages. I just said that. Once the fight starts, this radius of dozens of miles will be a battlefield, and unimpeded information is the most important. When the time comes, I need you to disperse all the thieves to various places in the mountains at regular intervals. As soon as the bandits got into trouble. You have to report back the news immediately. Inform all participating troops of the enemy situation in the shortest possible time! ”

Sgart. Cancy looked excited, nodded again and again, "This is no problem, although those thieves under our command do not have the scout elite of the regular army." But it's still okay to run errands and deliver letters. ”

Hathaway smiled approvingly. In fact, there are some things that she can't say well, although the mercenary group is trained according to the training method of the regular army, but the thieves in the mercenary group are all wild people, and they don't want the scout training in the base to be more professional. This time, these two mercenary groups were directly involved in the battle, just to give them the opportunity to fight, so that they could be included in the training of the city defense force in the future.

Bowen. After careful consideration for a moment, Cornett said, "My lord, what should we do in terms of combat?" ”

Hathaway thought for a moment and said, "If those bandits come out of the lair, it will be nothing more than going to the Ghost Sorrow Gorge and Lop Nur. ”

She pointed to these two places on the map, the Ghost Gorge is a canyon, the terrain is dangerous, the Blood Sun bandits have a guard post at one end of the canyon, and after passing the canyon, it is not easy to ambush.

"On the side of the Ghost Sorrow Gorge, we have set up suspicious soldiers, you send some people to guard there, you must not let them go to the Ghost Sorrow Gorge, as for their secret posts, I will send someone to uproot them."

Bowen. Cornet was stunned and said, "My lord, then you mean to force them to go to Lop Nur?" ”

Hathaway nodded: "That's right, after the townspeople of Lop Nur are moved, we have no worries. On the surface, the road from the robber village to Lop Nur is easier than the Ghost Sorrow Gorge. But Lop Nur is surrounded by deep mountains and old forests, and we can let go of them. ”

She also scratched the map with her hand, and said, "Within these dozens of miles, there are graves of those bandits everywhere!" ”

In the last sentence, she said murderously, Bowen. Cornnett and Sgart. Cancy subconsciously straightened his back.

After a while, Bowen. Cornett nodded slightly: "This plan should work." ”

"Then prepare immediately, and after a magic hour, each team will set off for their target positions." Hathaway ordered,

The quiet Lop Nur immediately became a bit noisy, and by this time it was getting light and most of the townspeople were already rising. After seeing the mercenaries all over the town, they were all a little surprised, but then the mayor of the town gathered everyone and began to organize the transfer, although some people were very dissatisfied, but the general situation was unstoppable, and they were transferred away by some mercenaries who were half escorted and half escorted.

……

Mandy Gaza City.

The military headquarters of the city defense army, Rotimak. Thorne and Han Feng. Chi's eyes widened and narrowed, just like a bullfight, and the other deputy commander, Nelson. Cody sat helplessly.

Speaking of which, the top brass of the Cordillera City Defense is also a very interesting combination. Han Feng. Chi is the fierce general of the Bell family, Rotimack. Thorne was the loyal dog of the Camille family, Nelson. Cody is purely a soy sauce player, he does not belong to these two major forces, his position is really accumulated by military merits, and after he becomes the deputy commander, it is basically provided; And the military officer Yu Lian. Middleton is treacherous, and on the surface, he seems to be leaning more towards Solo. Bell, but in essence, he is not guilty of both, and for most things, he adopts ambiguous opinions, so he can sit firmly on this throne.

The door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and the three of them frowned, and when they looked around, it was the military officer Yu Lian who came in. Middleton.

"Lord Middleton, may I ask what decision does Lord Lordship make?" Han Feng. Chi asked tentatively.

"You should be glad I didn't see my lord."

Even. Middleton frowned, glanced at the three lords, and finally looked at Han Feng. Chi Body: "Commander Chi, I propose that you take the initiative to ask the lord for guilt in this matter, which is beneficial to both parties." ”

"Why?"

Han Feng. Pool hasn't spoken yet, Rotimack. Thorne spoke up first, he looked disdainful, and said, "It's just a bunch of untouchables, what's the big deal?" In the Cordillera Plateau, this kind of untouchables die a lot every year, and if we are really to be dealt with for this kind of thing, the number of city defense commanders in the Cordillera territory is not enough to remove! ”

Han Feng. Chi didn't speak, but judging by the look on his face, he clearly agreed with this statement, Nelson. Although Cody did not think so, the incident really had nothing to do with him, because at the time of the incident he was inspecting the defences of the collective farms, and when he heard the news, he hurried back to Mandi Gaza.

"Just because she's the lord of the Cordillera!"

Even. Middleton's face was also very ugly: "As you said, the lives of a group of untouchables are nothing, but it is very important for a lord's orders to be ignored, and I believe that some big people will not cause your behavior." Shape up or ship out! ”

He flicked his sleeves and left in a rage.

"I'm going out to do something." Han Feng. After watching the back of His Excellency the Military Officer disappear, Chi suddenly stood up and walked out.

"Nelson, I'm sorry to keep an eye on you." Rotti Mark. Thorne watched the Commander leave, and then muttered and left the office.

Looking at the office that had become empty in the blink of an eye, Nelson. Cody shook his head slightly, but there was a gleam in his eyes.

……

Heavenly Camel Ridge, the lair of the Blood Sun Thieves.

The special forces team, led by Hathaway, have been lurking in the bushes on the side of the road for almost three hours!

Due to the strict implementation of Hathaway's order to take turns to rest, the team members maintained enough energy.

Jafa. Troun glanced at Hathaway again, then withdrew his gaze.

Hathaway took out her pocket watch from her arms and looked at it, then smiled and whispered, "Jafa, I've seen you do this many times, if you have any questions, ask them now." ”

Jafa. Troon smiled awkwardly and said, "Instructor, when you set off, you told us that this time you were dealing with the mobile posts of the thief group, but six mobile posts have passed in a row, why didn't you let us do it?" ”

Hathaway smiled, "We're dealing with real thieves, but the first few are civilians who are being coerced by them!" ”

Speaking of which, this also made Hathaway quite helpless, just as they were about to act, Cecia. Hughes sent for more detailed information. It turned out that in the Blood Day Thieves Troupe, there was also a group of people who were coerced into bandits because of difficulties in life, known as 'auxiliary slaves', and most of the members were refugees and fugitive slaves...... Even those who have been taken captive by the Bloody Sun thieves over the years. It was a very difficult surprise to grasp what to do with this group of people, because Hathaway could not have killed them all.

However, according to the intelligence reaction, although these people are auxiliary servants, their treatment is very different from that of formal bandits, and they assist them in guarding and guarding, and they are not real henchmen, and they are basically used as cannon fodder.

"The real bandits deserve to die, but most of the people who were coerced are innocent, and we have to leave them a way to live." Hathaway whispered.

Alf said, "My lord, aren't the first few sentinels all official bandits?" ”

Hathaway smiled and said, "But we didn't know that the interval between mobile whistles was half a magic hour!" Besides, I originally thought that they would either be together or take turns patrolling, but I didn't think that the next five mobile posts in a row would be auxiliary guards? It seems that there is a lot of article in this! (To be continued......)
