"Boss, the brethren say they are hungry! Want to go down the mountain before dark! ”

Former Captain of the Hundreds, Hitter Erge, looked helplessly at the two "mountain chiefs" drooping their heads in front of him and complaining with tears in their eyes. Not to mention those little minions who escaped and were not tied up into twists, even if he wants to eat some unleavened hard bread now, he has to think carefully: after eating this meal, is there a next meal?

After the stronghold of the valley village was captured by Elta's army, he and his more than 100 men had to move from the east side of Mount Vitagore to the west of Mount Vitagore and from the south to the north, and they had to circle around the mountain for several days.

Stumbling and thundering, this thing will only be arranged on the main road. Moreover, the flares that are triggered to the air will be quickly filled with Elta Army soldiers who are even more alert than them.

If he wants to repeat the miracle of the first "anti-encirclement and suppression" mistake, Hitt really can't find any chance - everyone knows that the exploding thing is arranged on the passage, but everyone knows that whoever touches that thing will die, but the most critical problem is:

Where's that thing?

Hitt didn't know that there was a truth about "striking the west". But the question is, where is this "east"? The martyr with the explosives bag was found, so he told people where the bunker was. Besides, after so many days of circling around the mountains, if there is a "west" that can get out, they will leave early. Why wait until now to force the first line of dirt roads in the valley?

Walking in this dense forest, the most feared thing is the ghost circle. If you don't have a compass or a map that shows obvious topography and landforms, and you only trust your senses, the question is not "will you be able to make a circle", but "Please calculate the radius of the circle and the psychological shadow area of pedestrians." ”

Hit, at least he was quite sensible, and after a few small circles, he obediently looked at the damn hill behind him and walked back. The little mountain bag that walked on Mount Vitagore slipped from behind its back to the back of its shoulder, and behind its shoulder to the side - could this work? Let's go home. If you go any further, I'm afraid that if you pull the branches between the trees, you will see the shield city.

In fact, Hit-Erg was very envious of the brute who had accidentally touched the bomb of another world. Although I don't know if it's a deer or a wolf, it's better to have nothing left than to go into their stomachs.

This wild thing in the mountains can completely satisfy the appetite of these former soldiers and former hunters in peacetime. These soldiers who came over from Elta's two counterattacks, as well as the farmers who were coerced, were nothing more than finding a feng shui treasure here that did not need to pay food and did not need to pay for ding. What should I do if the beast trap catches a deer and lacks salt? Go down the mountain and find the merchant to do him, and he will be able to do it with one shot.

The world may be short of people, but there will never be a shortage of small businessmen who are greedy for small bargains. Occasionally, small merchants would come to trade with these bandits, and the bandits would correspondingly restrain themselves: for the merchants' carriages were mostly filled with swords and bows.

This is often the semi-appeasement of local armed forces, such as the Knights of the Territory or the Infantry, which we can give if we ask for weapons, but please don't make too much of a fuss.

The end of unruly behavior is to be exterminated by the armed forces of these places or to squeeze the living space. Although it can't break the backbone of a large gang in troubled times in ten days like the Elta Army, the local armed forces have no less patience than bandits......

Well, the protracted Elta wartime destroyed these local forces, and more and more caravans traveled along the road from south to west. Two things that should have been good things turn into even more fantastic prospects when they come together...... But why is this happening?

Hit-Elger's head was a white mess at this time, as if there were two villains who had to kill each other before they would give up. What to do? He raised his head slightly, trying to get an answer from the same dreary sky.

Even though it was afternoon, thick stratus clouds covered the entire canopy, completely blocking the sun's rays and warmth. Hitt took a breath and shivered.

"Well, how much food do we have?" After a while, Hitt finally made up his mind, and turned his head to ask the two commanders who were still bowing their heads.

"There's not much left." One of the broken hands with a beard that grew above his chest counted, "We still have bread and dead dough bread in our hands that barely last until the day after tomorrow, but ......"

"But what?" Hitt was a little upset with the attitude of his subordinates who were procrastinating now—was it time to procrastinate?

"But, if you let those hairy boys let go of eating, then I'm afraid I won't be able to live tonight-"

Hitt looked behind him a little, and the sparse team was either slumped or scattered in the forest against the trees, not at all like a "soldier", not even a "bandit".

"Forget it. Give me orders to feed them - we're ready to break out! Victory or defeat in one fell swoop! ”

Hit's blood surged, and he also took out two tightly wrapped pieces of small white bread from his bag, shouted and put them in his mouth and bit them hard.

This may be a severed head. What can you do if you don't have enough to eat?

Hit's team was still gnawing on dead bread and brown bread when his two remaining former Eltasie scouts approached him in good acquaintances.

"Boss, where are we going to break through?" The two scouts were also mentally retarded at this time: they really couldn't think of where to break through. And those who would think this way are also a very small minority in Hit-Erger's ranks: the vast majority of the bandits are just fighting to take the lead when eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, and smoking, as for tactics? Stratagem? The war situation? Those are the things of the bandit leaders and the right-hand men, and they have nothing to do with them. They don't want to manage and can't manage......

This is exactly the same as Elta's traditional army, where ordinary soldiers don't have any brains to fight. Even if the lowest soldiers don't have brains, the bigger problem is that the so-called commanders at the squad and platoon level can only advance by leaps and bounds, and they don't even have the art of war to understand orders.

"Rush to the big road!" Hit's vicious tone almost squirted out his own front teeth. "Where else can I get down the mountain?"

The two scouts dressed in white cloth actually knew their situation very well: the stronghold was leveled, the financial route was cut off, and even though there was still a vast forest and snow field on this mountain, how many waves could they still throw?

"Got it, so what path should we follow next?" The two scouts obediently accepted the unsalted roasted rabbit leg from the quartermaster, signifying that they had accepted the dangerous but decisive task.

"May the two moons, the true god of Elta, bless you." Hit-Erger's attitude is resolute and decisive, "You can choose any path on the gentle slope." Now that Mount Vitagore is changing, we have to change in the middle of the move and make this bucket formation......"

"This is the antifreeze wax set...... Squeak ......, here is the antifreeze wax group, call the platoon, there is an emergency. ”

"Antifreeze wax group, please." The platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon, Longzi Yang, jumped up from the steel tube bed with a carp and put a mint candy in his mouth.

"Part of the gentle slope of the eastern slope of Vitagore...... Creak...... Enemy scouts were spotted, and now the enemy was about three hundred meters away from me, and I was at the top of the canopy, undetected by the enemy. ”

Longzi Yang here hurriedly fastened the discipline buckle and put on a training hat. Throwing himself on the map on the wall, it seemed that the great battle he was looking forward to was coming.

"You remain motionless until the enemy scouts return. Remember! Don't startle the snake, the platoon is complete. ”

With that, Lonzyan drew a heavy circle with an alcohol marker to a garrison on the map, and then connected the two circles along the contour line in an approximate possible path.

Of course, these road rage bandits are also reliable in terms of camouflage, at least they are not chased by the swimming observation posts above and below the snowline. There was always intermittent information about their route, but that was enough.

"The platoon calls all the observation posts, and the two enemy scouts follow the following path towards the road, do not startle the snakes until they reach the road, and make sure that they return to the camp smoothly...... Repeat ......"

After giving orders to his subordinates, Lonzyang changed hands and transferred the radio to a different frequency band.

"For all pedestrians and business travelers entering the mountain, temporarily intercept them, please cooperate with friendly troops, if they are still unable to pass until night, they need to be responsible for the accommodation of passengers, and the expenses can be reported by the battalion headquarters......"

After a few minutes of vibrating in the air, Clough's carriage came to a halt on the hillside. As the carriage stopped, the soldiers on both sides hurriedly held the triangle logs in their hands and stuffed them firmly behind the wheels of the Klough carriage to prevent the carriage from losing power and slipping back down the mountain.

"What is this for?" Clough asked, yawning. The camouflage-clad soldier in front of him was undoubtedly one of the kindest and most talkative armed forces in Elta's history, and he had no need to worry at all. This is probably to inspect the goods...... Or is it to gather more caravans and escort them across the border with cavalry?

"I'm very sorry, sir, but our army is conducting a military operation at the front, and for your safety and the success of the operation, you may be here for hours. If our army does not have time to escort you out of the mountains before dark, then our army will send you all the way to the camp and take care of your food and lodging. ”

"Bandits ahead?" Clough didn't care about food and lodging at all. This mountain road has always been a careful journey, and when the Elta army came, it was only escorted by cavalry, but when they returned, they were already exterminating the bandits.

"Yes, please park the car for a while." Soldiers in camouflage uniforms had blocked the path of Clough and Wolff's carriage with their horses across the ridge of the dirt road. "However, it should be done soon."

On the other side of the mountain, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly sounded.
