Chapter 181: Bloody Battle to the End (1)
I'm icy falcons have flown back. Without its master's opponent and no threat to it, the eagle had just finished its revenge as soon as the ground battle was over.
At Su Cheng's suggestion, Buick's men concentrated all the corpses of the horse bandits in a low ground on the outside of the beacon tower and covered them with soil. One can avoid polluting the grassland, and the other is to prevent subsequent horse bandits from peeking into the opponent's strength through these corpses.
It may be that the news of one team has not raised the vigilance of the other bandits, except for the occasional falcon or two approaching the sky above the beacon to reconnoitre, reminding everyone that the horse bandits are close to the left, and there is no other anomaly. Scouting doesn't matter, except for the herdsmen and the player, who each sent one person to act as a scout, everyone else hid in the huge tents that the herdsmen had built against the wall. Most of the people were very quiet, and everyone knew that the decisive battle with the horse bandits was coming.
A shining star hung at the top of the suspended window of the clock, and it was midnight, and Su Cheng climbed the beacon tower to feel the night on the grassland. Under the magnificent starry sky, Buick was half-kneeling on the ground and bowing his head in prayer. Hearing Su Cheng's footsteps, the big man raised his head: "Lord, can't you sleep too?" ”
"Yes! I want to see the starry sky of this world. In my hometown, it's hard to see the stars! "The air pollution in the real world is incomprehensible to Buick, and Su Cheng doesn't want to say more.
"Is your hometown in the forest?" Buick guessed. Seeing that Su Cheng didn't want to say more, he raised his hand and pointed to a bright star and said, "Do you see that star?" That's Sirius! I was praying that those damn horse bandits would be attacked by wolves! ”
Is it useful or not? Anyway, being idle is idle, Su Cheng took out a pair of golden wolf tails and hung them around his neck, and half-knelt on the ground to pray like Buick: I also hope that those evil horse bandits will be gnawed by the wolves!
Out of nowhere, a long and lonely wolf howl suddenly sounded!
"This is the wolf god responding!" Buick said in a deep voice: "How could the wolf god answer the prayers of an adventurer? ”
This is a result that Su Cheng didn't expect either. He took off his wolf tail ornament and handed it to Buick: "Let's see if this thing works?" ”
Buick took the wolf's tail and looked at it carefully, but he didn't see any reason: "I can't see anything either." According to the legend of the grassland, the wolf god is a wolf pack left behind by bloodline on the grassland. This wolf tail may have been cut off from such a wolf, right? But if you say that, you and the wolf god should be considered enemies, and he should not answer your prayers! ”
Su Cheng seems to have heard someone say: never try to guess the mind of a god. Buick obviously didn't hear this sentence: "In short, this is the wolf god responding to you, which is a good thing." You look at the ...... below."
The fire flickered, and several herders climbed out of their tents, gathered their torches into a fire, and knelt down in prayer. Buick shouted from a high place: "Go to bed when you are done praying." Just now, it was the wolf god answering Lord Twilight's prayers! Several of the herdsmen looked happy, as if they all thought that this victory over the horse bandits would be a matter of course.
At the beginning of the dawn, everyone was startled out of the tent by Su Sushu's shouting.
"Come out and see! We've been made dumplings! A lot of bandits......"
You don't have to climb to the top of the beacon tower, the seven sword beauties can see it: an unknown number of red dots surround the beacon from three sides. The number is more in the north and south, and slightly less in the west, only about a dozen.
Buick squeezed to Su Cheng's side: "Lord, the total number of horse bandits is seventy-two." Thirty-five in the north, thirty in the south, and seven in the west. ”
The head is fast, is this considered a skill? Seeing Su Cheng's suspicious face, Buick grinned: "This is no different from counting the sheep......
It's a big-hearted herdsman. As long as you don't panic, your people are likely to play their part. Su Cheng admired Buick's fearless performance: "Why is no one in the East intercepting?" ”
"About twelve miles to the east, there is a small river. The water rises in spring, and I am afraid that I will not be able to cross the river. Also, this is also a bandit tactic. You Han people have a saying, called Wai San What is one! ”
"Wai three and one! This is the art of war. It can make the enemy feel that there is a glimmer of life and is not willing to fight with all his might! ”
A bandit who understands the art of war will never be an ordinary NPC like a small soldier and a shrimp. Su Cheng called Su Sushu and asked him for a telescope. Su Sushu looked confused: "The last sentry didn't hand it over to me!" Su Cheng asked one by one according to the duty schedule, and then took back the telescope in the hands of the pink wolf. Looking around the mirror, there are three leaders of the horse bandits: the one in the south is called Nur, the one in the north is called the sand wolf, and the group with the smallest number of horse bandits, the leader of the bandits is called Wulazibai.
Su Cheng handed the binoculars to Buick and asked him to see which side of the bandits was the strongest.
Buick observed again and again, and still felt that the northern bandits, who had the largest number of people, were the strongest.
The horse bandits are invincible. This was the first agreement reached by the two leaders. Break through or hold on, both of them want to see the opinions of their subordinates. So Su Cheng handed the telescope to Su Sushu and asked him to monitor it closely, and he and Buick went separately to discuss countermeasures with their own people. Asking Buick to consult his subordinates is just a matter of face. The men on the grassland dare to fight their opponents, but if the difference in strength is too great, they will also run away without any scruples. Whether the herdsmen continue to participate in the war is a matter of Buick's words.
"The horse bandits are surrounded by three people, and there is a river not far to the east that will help them intercept us. In the three directions, the strongest was the northern gang, with thirty-five people. Thirty in the south, seven in the west! Su Cheng briefly introduced the situation: "Let's talk about it, should we defend or take the initiative to break through on one side?" ”
A little interesting: "The leader of each gang of bandits, do you have a name?" ”
"The leader with the largest number is called the Sand Wolf, the lesser is called Nur, and the leader of the Seven is called Urazbai."
It's a little interesting to look at everyone, and when he sees that everyone is looking at him, he smiles: "The strongest strength should be the seven-member combination of Wulazibai." I guess there aren't enough of us to see it! Who of you are a minority? Don't you feel familiar with the name of Urazbai? ”
Angela cried, "yes, I sound familiar! What's going on? ”
Wulazibai is a well-known bandit in the history of the Western Regions, killing people and setting fires, crisscrossing the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. The most hateful thing about them is that they not only burn and kill other ethnic groups at will, but even their own 'relatives' are robbed when they encounter them, and they are killed when they resist. This made him the most notorious bandit in the history of the Western Regions. Let such a guy serve as a bandit boss such an important profession, it seems that it is difficult to explain to the mountain god grandfather without killing him.
Buick didn't know when he also stood on the periphery of the Seven Swords team, and after listening to a somewhat interesting introduction, Buick swallowed the plan to break through and fight to find another opportunity: "Such a wolf cub, even if you can't kill him with this life, you have to cripple it, so that he will harm a few herdsmen less!" Our decision is: fight to the end! ”
The policy is set, and how to fight this battle well still needs players to think long-term.
Su Susu reported: "To the south, five miles behind the bandits, there are wolves!" ”
That's the good news. Su Cheng asked him, "Did you just find out?" ”
"yes. You look at the time suspension window, the sun comes out, and the telescope's viewing distance can be fully opened! ”
"Can you observe the approximate number of wolves?"
"Khan! I can't count them, but there must be one hundred and eighty heads! ”
Su Cheng looked around at everyone and saw that he was looking at him with a little interest, and the two looked at each other and smiled. Su Cheng spoke first: "I have an idea." But first, I'd like to hear something interesting! ”
"My idea is simple. I want the herdsmen to hold back for a while, and then we will take action, drive the bandits from the south into the wolves, let the beasts help us consume some of the enemy, and then use the beacon to defend it. ”
IM Hanbing and Angela's pet eagles are released, and the three bandits' scout eagles are successfully lured away. Seven Swords left the voice, and the two were responsible for directing the remaining herdsmen as suspicious soldiers. Buick and IM Hanbing followed the remaining ten members of the Seven Swords Beauty Regiment to crawl forward one by one, detoured from the gate hole to the north of the beacon tower to the south, climbed out for hundreds of meters before summoning their mounts and rushing towards the Nuer bandits.
The Nuer bandits were indeed the weakest link in this group of horse bandits, and they always thought that the lambs who fell into the trap would flee in the direction of Urazbai or the river to the east, and they were still waiting for the pursuit order of Ulazibai. Except for two or three sentries who were still on horseback, the rest of the group had already dismounted to prepare food or take care of the livestock. After all, banditry is a temporary profession, and herding is a profession that must be engaged from life to death, and taking care of one's livestock no matter what, has become a mark on the bones of these people.
Crawling around the detour and rushing to the southeast position of the beacon tower is equivalent to breaking away from the monitoring of the two bandit teams on the north and west sides, and the seven swords are not afraid of Nur and his gang discovering their whereabouts, and they still use Buick as an arrow to rush towards Nur's group in a sharp formation.
Nur had just taken Sailik's place, and was now lying on the grass in the saddle, enjoying the milk tea served to him by his men. The bandit leader was an elite template, and from the vibration of his elbow propped on the grass, he saw that a squad of cavalry was charging at his side. Don't be afraid, there are only about a dozen people, and my brothers are all men who grew up on horseback, and they can fight with swords on horseback! Noor jumped on his horse and found that the enemy was coming too fast, and one of the big men in front had already lifted a sentry into the air with a single shot. The other sentry opened his mouth for a long time but could not make a sound, and when his accomplices in mid-air fell to his death, one of them turned his horse's head and galloped towards the camp: "The bandits have been killed!" ”
The cold sweat on Noor's back: Silly ×! You're a bandit, okay? Kicking the pot and kicking the bowl, nearly thirty horse bandits instantly mounted their horses en masse, waiting for Nur's order.
