Chapter 142: Bell Doesn't Jungle
On October 5, northeast of Grant Province and southwest of the Ainia Mountains. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The first rays of the morning covered the nameless low hills. This should be as poetic as a picture scroll, but there is a silent tremor suppressed in the silence.
At this time, the sky will be cold, the red sun will rise, and the frost flowers condensed in the night will have dissolved. The tips of the leaves and grasses are decorated with heavy dewdrops, which seem to not fall, and they can't bear to say goodbye.
Only the breeze is ruthless, happy to see this parting sorrow.
However, before the wind came, the dew drops were suddenly shaken to the ground one by one. Only the tips of the leaves and grass swayed back and forth, as if beckoning.
Following the trembling frequency, a voice gradually came from the bottom of the mountain.
The sound of dense and strict footsteps, the coalition of the entire five legions was spreading out to both wings at the same time, and the sound of footsteps in the oppressive atmosphere was infinitely amplified, knocking and ...... It's like the drums of war have beaten.
The hill in front of you already has a name on the military map - 105 Heights.
On the day of October 5th, this place is the first strategic point to be fought over in the first battle that is most likely to take place.
The coalition forces have lost information about the Imperial Army for several days, but judging by the speed of their own march, the main force of the Imperial Army has definitely discovered this high ground and will pay attention to it.
Fortunately, the Imperial Army has not yet appeared on the mountain, at least, not in the field of vision.
It seemed like a fleeting opportunity, but Karma didn't seem to be in a hurry.
She was waiting, waiting for a series of orders to be delivered, waiting for the teams to complete their scheduled deployments.
This coalition army, which had just become regularized, was still a little immature and could not withstand any setbacks. Even if there is nine points of temptation and one point of risk in front of her, she must be very cautious.
However, after all, seizing important places is a race against time, and it is obvious that light and highly mobile troops must be dispatched first.
Kalmar was also deployed in this way, spreading out a two-mile front, with light infantry rushing forward with long swords.
But when you look closely, you can see that at most two or three light infantrymen overlap in the same position. Although the battle line was long, at best only two infantry battalions were put into it, less than half of the infantry strength of a regimental regiment.
Moreover, the infantry in the front did not advance very quickly, always maintaining a fixed distance from the other troops behind.
In Ionia in October, the sky is high and the mountains are in full bloom in the wilderness.
The wind blew over the hillside from the other side, and it was not as fresh as the air or the fragrance of flowers as expected, but with an earthy smell.
This seems unlikely, maybe it's just an illusion.
"War is so hateful, and before it has even begun, people have lost the ability to feel the good things in life."
"Since the war is so hateful, let's let it end early."
"Yes, it is to win the war to end it. What we have lost, we need to be paid with the blood of the Noxians who started the war. ”
The soldiers in front of them were talking, and they quietly became excited. This certainly gave them more courage, but at the same time, they lost patience and keen insight.
The wind passed through the forward positions and was already mixed with too much smell by the time it blew to the Chinese camp in the rear. But Karma only had to close his eyes and sniff twice, and he already knew everything.
It seems that the second-line troops of the Imperial Army are not too weak, at least they are more cunning than expected.
A group of infantry rushed up the hill first, and saw that there was only a large area of barren grass on the other side of the hillside, and it was full of loneliness.
There are no imaginary beautiful landscapes, and there are no hateful imperial people.
The soldiers waited boredly for the next order from the Chinese army, and the breath in their hearts quietly relaxed.
The light infantry had already stood on the hill and turned to cheer on the bulky troops behind.
"Brothers, don't be so tense, there are no Imperials on the other side of the mountain. They must have been scared away when they heard the prestige of our coalition forces. ”
"Haha, Leon, don't worry, look at your tired stinky sweat. I said a few buddies in the same account, we don't have a chance to fight with the Empire today, and we can't be stunned to death by Leon's stinky feet when we turn around. ”
"Yes, yes. My brother reminded me right, even if we don't look dead when we turn around, we have to cover our noses first. Otherwise, if you really have a next life, you won't have to be reincarnated into some kind of disgusting thing like a stinky bug or a shell. ”
"And, when I hear you say this, I'm a pampered kid who grew up in the city. In the eyes of our countrymen, shells are beneficial insects. And don't look disgusting, when we were young, we caught it and roasted it when we were hungry. Don't say it, crunchy, chicken flavor. Make sure you've eaten it once, and you'll want it a second time. ”
"Yo, I said Captain Bell, you're still proud of eating the shell. Don't think that you are the wilderness survival instructor of our brigade, we will believe everything we say. ”
The man named Bell immediately pulled out a knife for jungle fighting, turned back and pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said, "Don't believe it, look at how many shells there will be in the barren grassland below, I'll catch them for you to taste right away." ”
"Haha, you want to trick me into eating shells, right? That's fine, you eat the wrapped around that thing first, and I'll eat it. ”
"Yo, you two got on the bar because of a bug, right? I said you are stupid, or are you an unlucky child who grew up as a ****. ”
"Haha......"
Laughter is contagious, spreading the relaxed atmosphere to more people. Unconsciously, the entire formation on the mountain became scattered.
Down the hill, Karma realizes that something is wrong. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly said, "It's not good, I'm afraid I'm wrong." Where are the heralds, get the troops on the hill ready for battle. No, let them go down the hill quickly. ”
On the mountain, Bell turned around and was about to walk down the other hill when he was stunned for a moment.
No, it's only been September, and the shell is not ready for winter, so he won't hide under the dry grass.
Wait, since winter is still far away, why is there so much dead grass under this mountain?
Bell turned to look down the hill on the other side, and after the mass of soldiers trampled it, the grass became more and more green, and at most the grass was a little yellow on the tip.
He looked back at the grass on this side, and his eyelids jumped suddenly.
No, maybe it wasn't the eyelids that jumped, but the dry grass moved.
"Hey, I said Bell, don't you like to jungle the most, hurry up and get some game back, as long as the delicious food stops our mouths, we won't make fun of you with all the nonsense you said just now."
"Shhhh
Bell dropped the beloved jungler knife in his hand, quietly drew out the battle sword, and said in a suppressed voice: "Listen to me, everyone listens to me, there is an ambush under the mountain, and there are imperial troops hiding under those dead grass. Tell the others to get ready for battle, but don't make a noise or panic yet. ”
"Ah, Bell, who are you going to be, you told a lie yourself, and if you can't go on, you will talk about the Imperial, right, you are a shell when you are an Imperial."
"Shhhh If this alarms the Ambushed Empire and delays the warplane, I will execute you on the spot. Bell suddenly rushed to the man who was speaking loudly, and the long sword that was blocking it sideways was already against the other's chest.
The man was Bell's best brother, but his legs trembled in fear in the face of Bell's indifferent eyes.
So, the people next to me also understood.
The news spread calmly, and the soldiers at the front cautiously drew their swords and stared intently at the place where there was dead grass at the bottom of the mountain.
Others, meanwhile, continued to spread the word downward.
Fast, must be fast.
Bell showed an anxious look, at this time, the entire coalition army on the mountain was slackened, and once the empire suddenly attacked, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Suddenly, the sound of a golden gong sounded in the direction of the Chinese army under the mountain, and a retreat signal was issued.
For a time, there was a burst of confusion among the troops on the mountain.
The man at the top of the mountain whispered: "Prepare for battle, there are Imperial people lying in ambush under the grass under the mountain on the other side." We need to plan and make their actions self-digging. ”
The men down the hill heard the sound of the gong and soon confirmed the order to retreat from the herald. Half of them retreated down the mountain, and half continued to pass orders to those above.
The people in the middle of the mountainside were completely confused, and they were torn between information and orders on both sides.
The real first battle had not yet begun, and the coalition army, which had not been formed for a long time, had already begun to reveal its problems.
Their fate is worrying.
