Chapter 426: Search
The dwelling of the Sheikh of the Murayi Kingdom is called 'Eagle Rock', a huge stone on which they carved caves for dwellings and storage rooms, some of which are deep and long, some of which are hidden and dark, some of which are hidden and dark, and of course, there are also bright halls. It's just that this is the top secret place of the Murayi country, and outsiders can't find out, but the legend has that there is a secret passage mechanism and a hidden assassin. Therefore, although the passage of enemy reinforcements has been cut off, and the escape route of the mountaintop people has been cut off, it is not easy to catch Umid in the strange and complicated cavern.
Taking into account the possible complications, the number of personnel of the assault group accounted for half of the airborne detachment, but now facing a hive-like cavern, and Umid would never stay in his 'palace' after receiving the alarm and wait for the enemy to come to the door to kill him, so the assault detachment could only use the most stupid way to search hole-by-hole, and also to clear the enemy in it, so the strength was overstretched.
As the leader of the assault detachment, Qing Yang's face seemed calm at the moment, but his heart was very anxious, he understood the most important point of the raid operation, especially this kind of battle that went deep into the enemy's henchmanship was to move in and out quickly, and could not stay for too long, otherwise he would be encircled and difficult to get out. Now that the passage of the enemy's reinforcements up the mountain has been blown up, who knows if they still have a secret passage to the top of the mountain, it is highly reasonable to infer that this possibility is extremely high, and it is impossible not to leave a way back for himself by assassination.
"What was the outcome of the interrogation?" Qingyang turned his face and asked Zhang Kui, who had just come closer, that there was a lack of troops, and he had already transferred Zhang Kui's cover group to join the search. He was ordered to interrogate the captives he had just captured, in order to find Umid's hiding place.
"These people have stiff mouths. When the methods are exhausted, he just doesn't speak. Give me some more time! Zhang Kui's hideous face was helpless, and he replied a little frustratedly.
"It is estimated that the effort is in vain, these people are all die-hard members of their sect, there is no need to waste time!" Qingyang waved his hand and said, "How is the situation of the enemy under the mountain?" He asked again about the pile of sand that had come over.
"The blasting just now killed a lot of enemies, blocked the road entirely, they are mobilizing manpower to clean the road, I ordered people to slow down the clearing speed with cold gun attacks, and they can't get up for a while!" Sandpile affirmed.
"Hmm. In this case, a few people in your group will be left to guard the mountain, the snipers will control the search scene to prevent the enemy from sneaking up and escaping, and the rest will all join the search and solve the battle as soon as possible! Qingyang thought for a while and said.
"Yes, I have already asked the snipers to set up a sniper position at the commanding heights, and leave Li Tian to lead people to monitor the enemy below the mountain!" Sandy nodded and consulted Qingyang's opinion.
"Yes. We now have 50 people joining the search, and in addition to the command group, a group of five people will be organized into nine teams to search in different divisions. If there is no living mouth left in the search, they will be the first to shoot and die. They won't open their mouths anyway. Also, be careful to protect yourself, you know we can't take the wounded! Qingyang immediately made a deployment.
"Understood!" The two replied in unison, knowing that being injured here meant death. Because their delta wings could not bear the weight of two people, that is, the wounded could only stay on top of this pole. And the Murayi people will not let them live......
After the redeployment of the mission, the search and arrest operation was carried out again. Both sides are highly trained masters, so the battle is brutal and intense. But on closer inspection, there are still differences in the way the two sides fight, and of course it is not just the difference in the use of weapons between them.
After all, the Great Song Contingent is an army establishment, and it has received regular unconventional combat training, that is, it emphasizes the ability of individual combat, and also pays attention to collective combat with each other. The 'Fidayi' of the Murayi people mainly received assassination training, and they often acted alone to complete the task out of necessity in the operation. At the same time, the ruler will not let them form a whole for his own selfish thoughts, so they lack cooperation with each other, and they mostly fight alone in battle.
With the increase in troops, the speed of clearing was much faster, and it gradually squeezed into the central area, and under the rapid attack of the assault team, the already weak Murayi guards could not withstand the attack of firearms at all, and soon lost the outer position. They can only use their familiarity with the terrain to deal with the commandos, trying to delay time and wait for the rescue of the troops under the mountain, but they don't know that the people under the mountain are busy moving stones, and judging from the collapsed stones and earthworks, it is estimated that they need the spirit of foolishness to complete!
The battle developed quickly, and the guards of the Sheikh of Murai resisted desperately, shouting 'great' and launching counterattacks again and again, although their individual combat skills were outstanding, they were unable to defeat the power of the bead spear and the thistle, and they were brought down in pieces without even having a chance to exert their superhuman skills. The elites, who had suffered heavy casualties, gradually could not organize large-scale resistance, and the scattered remnants of the soldiers hid in the caves to resist stubbornly, and the battle turned into a house-to-house battle and clearance.
When task forces approach the room being searched, they are often guarded by two people, one of whom breaks down the door and is immediately followed by a companion who throws in a 'thistle' or bombards the house with a shotgun to eliminate possible enemies. Then they will enter the house to search, and there will be people at the door to stand guard. Because they had received orders to kill, they were all the more fearless in their actions, and all living creatures in the house were considered enemies, whether it was a Fidai, or just an ordinary maid, or even a pet dog, they would be killed mercilessly.
"Captain, discover Umid's residence!" The battle lasted for more than an hour, and the caves were breached, and the warehouses, libraries, etc. were discovered, but there was no trace of Umid, and just when everyone was in a hurry, some team members came to report.
"Got it?" Qingyang hurriedly asked.
"No, he's already fled!" The team member shook his head.
"None of the guards have found anyone fleeing from the peak, isn't he on the mountain?" Sandpile said with some disappointment, everyone had worked hard to plan this operation, and if it happened to be leaving, it would be a bit too much.
"No, the people down the hill are like crazy clearing the blocked road, trying to get up the mountain, if it's not here, they don't have to be in such a hurry!" Zhang Kui said confidently.
"Well, he should still be on the mountain, we blocked the road down the mountain and controlled all the commanding heights, it is impossible for him to escape under our noses, he should still be on the mountain, go and see!" Qingyang said that he should go out first, and several people in the command team also wanted to see what the king's bedroom was like, so they followed out.
"This ...... How is this how it looks! "When everyone entered Umid's 'dormitory', they all felt a little familiar. This is said to be a dormitory, but in fact it is just a relatively large stone room, with a woolen blanket on the floor, and a long table on one side, on which are placed some books, paper, pens, and oil lamps, and a book is still open. Near the wall are rows of tall bookshelves filled with books, and on the walls are images of the saints of the Church, and nothing else.
"No matter how you look at it, I think it's the emperor's study!" Zhang Kui turned his face to look at a few people and said.
"Well, I thought I was in the wrong place when I first came in!" Qingyang nodded and said.
"If you only look at the decorations, who would believe that this is the Sheikh of Murayi, the legendary feared king of assassins, but it is like the room of a learned Confucian!" The sand pile glanced around and sighed.
"Captain, we met stubborn resistance when we attacked here, and it took two teams to defeat them, and those people fled into this room, and by the time we rushed in, the room was empty, but the mat was still warm, and the water in the cup was still hot, and it should not be long before the people left!" The team that first attacked reported.
"You're sure no one left through the door!" Qingyang asked.
"Captain, it's impossible, we've checked with the neighboring teams, and they didn't find anyone leaving, and even if they did, they were all killed, and there was no one close to the target's age among the dead, and it was impossible for anyone else to enter and leave the Sheikh's room casually!" The team member affirmed.
"Makes sense, but where did the people go?" The things in the stone room are clear at a glance, and there is no place to hide people, Qingyang said with some confusion.
"There must be a secret room or secret door in the room, otherwise it won't disappear out of thin air!" Zhang Kui stomped his foot and said.
"Search, don't let go of an inch, strengthen vigilance on the periphery, don't let anyone escape!" Seeing that the prey in his hand was missing again, Qingyang said viciously.
At the sound of Qingyang's order, everyone immediately took action, the bookshelves were overturned, the carpets were lifted, and the holy images hanging on the stone walls were torn off without a trace of excavation. The undying people took turns knocking on the floor and stone walls, but there was no echo, indicating that there was no hidden cavern behind them. Other assault teams have also completed their search, and have come to report that after inspection, no trace of Umid has been found, which makes people have to suspect that this guy has really become an immortal and has flown away.
At this time, it was already dusk, and they had already stayed longer than they had planned, but they had not been able to complete their mission, and they had to take off and leave in the dark, which would not only increase the danger, but also make it difficult to discern the terrain and lose their way, so they could not land in the intended area. At this time, the blocking group reported that the enemy at the bottom of the hill was building a wooden ladder to climb in several ways when it was unable to clear the road, and it was estimated that it would not take much time to rush up.
"Captain, time is running out, what should I do?" Sandy looked at Qingyang and asked.
"Sou, you must get rid of him!" Qing Yang groaned for a moment and gritted his teeth and said, he knew that there was only one chance, and if he didn't eradicate it, the emperor would always be under his threat...... (To be continued......)
