Chapter 32: Overnight Defense

"Interesting. ”

Ganymedes looked at the vulture in front of him, and a smile gradually spread across his face.

He looked at the greedy wolf, and the look in his eyes was quite playful, which made the greedy wolf have a bad premonition in his heart.

"What do you see?"

The greedy wolf asked.

These vultures were the eyes of Ganymedes, and he could see what they had seen by looking into their eyes.

"The people of your tribe have found it. ”

The greedy wolf was startled by his words, his eyes widened, and he was speechless for a while.

The remnants of the defeated tribes flashed through his eyes one by one, and he seemed to see the future of this team.

"Are you going to be an enemy of the Vulcan?"

He asked, wanting to use Vulcan to repel his enemies, even though he knew it was impossible, it was just his instinctive reaction.

"I can't find what I'm looking for in these tribes, and I don't mind looking east. ”

Ganymedes had no interest in persecuting these scattered tribes, and he was ready to take action against the Fire Tribe Alliance.

Maybe he had this idea a long time ago, but he just didn't implement it.

The greedy wolf watched as Ganymedes ordered the beasts and tribes to devour the tribe in front of him, and then gathered a large army and headed east.

That was the direction of a tribe they had devoured, and it was there that the remnants of the tribe that Shi's team had found.

The beast and the tribal alliance rumbled eastward, and the greedy wolf was carried by Ganymedes and floated above the ranks.

This time the greedy wolf did not attack Ganymedes with tyranny, not because he gave up, but because he knew that there was no point in it.

He thought about how to send a message to the people of the wolf tribe to evacuate, but he couldn't answer for a long time.

............

"They're tracking us. ”

Torch looked at the vultures wandering in the sky and said to the dragon.

Ryu nodded, and shook the longbow in his hand a little nervously, he had tried to shoot down the vultures in the air, but unfortunately it was too far away.

"It would be nice if the leader of the Japanese tribe was here. ”

At this distance, only the Sunset Bow can shoot, and other bows and arrows have no effect.

"There are no ifs in war, only results. ”

Torch spoke, ignoring the vulture on his head, and struck his horse forward, walking to the front of the group.

They were looking for favorable terrain and had previously made a brief camp on the three hills, but all of them were vetoed by the sober stones.

According to Shi's requirements, they needed to find a mountain top that was steep enough, preferably steep to the left and right, so that it could cause an avalanche and prevent endless beasts from rushing up.

The scattered scouts had found such a place, and they were rushing over.

It was getting dark, and before the last rays of light fell, they finally came to the mountain.

"It's steep, it's too dangerous to go up at night, wait for tomorrow. ”

Torch said, looking at the steep mountains.

He nodded, he also did not recommend climbing this slope at night, it was easy to cause unnecessary casualties.

"Clearing the snow and stepping on the ground is not as dangerous as you think. ”

The sound of stone came from behind them, and the two hurriedly turned around and saluted.

"There's no need to be in such a hurry, I haven't seen any trace of the enemy yet. ”

Ryu disagreed, and Shi shook his head and pointed to the left and right.

"This is not suitable for garrisoning, and if the enemy comes at night, it will be against us to make a detour to the mountains and charge down from the top down. ”

When he asked questions, Ju had already arranged for someone to remove the snow, and he would never question Master's orders.

"Too cautious. ”

Lu still felt that Shi's request was a bit excessive, after all, climbing such a steep snow slope in the dark was too dangerous for both warriors and war riders.

He wasn't looking for trouble, he wasn't trying to hit the rocks, in fact, there was some truth in his thoughts, at least Torch was a little more careful when arranging the climb.

But even so, it was very dangerous to climb the snow-covered slopes on a dark and windy night, and when the whole army reached the top of the mountain late at night to organize the procession, it was found that more than a dozen people had disappeared.

These dozen or so people should have fallen down the slope halfway, or were seriously injured and couldn't climb up, or still climbed again below.

"I went down to them. ”

Looking down from above, the hillside was like a beast devouring life, and he was a little afraid.

"There is no time, the enemy has come. ”

Torch interrupted him and looked at the restless wolves on the side.

Humans' foreknowledge of danger is far lower than that of wild beasts, and the five senses of totemic tribal beasts with totemic power are more acute than those of ordinary beasts.

"Array, ready to resist the enemy. ”

Seeing this, he immediately drew the stone knife at his waist, shouted and walked towards his team, and began to organize defense.

Such terrain is not suitable for cavalry combat, so all warriors must be converted into infantry, and the giant wolf can also be used as infantry, which has been rehearsed by the wolf tribe for a long time.

But the mountains were not neat, and there was more than one path up below, so he had to do it all before the enemy came up.

Compared to the busyness of the ru, the torch is much better.

The team's combat literacy is extremely high, and the lieutenant-level sergeant can figure out the defense method on his own, and he doesn't have to worry about it at all.

He put more attention into observing the enemy, and found that the giant wolves in the west were in more agitation, and the east side did not react much.

"The enemy may attack from the west and change the defense. ”

Torch finds the busy rue and directly lets the team and the wolf tribe team change defenses.

It took a long time to find out the western defense point, but when he finally heard such a sentence, he couldn't accept it for a while, but he quickly adjusted his mentality and agreed.

Although the warriors of the wolf tribe have practiced foot combat, they are not the main way after all, and they are too much worse than the clan.

There is also the face of unknown enemies, the wolf tribe warriors put out a foot battle phalanx is not close enough, which may lead to problems, it is better to let the team in front, they are all professional warriors, and they can handle any situation.

"Leader Shi hasn't woken up yet?"

In the interval between changing guards, Lu asked to the torch.

Torch shook his head, indicating no.

It was up to him to decide when Shi woke up, and it was difficult for them to call out the sleeping Shi.

But Shi himself said that he also had a certain perception of the outside when he was asleep, and he would be awake at critical moments.

In this way, he did not feel that this was a critical moment.

"It's up to us. ”

Lu said with a sigh.

Ju glanced at him, nodded and said nothing.

Ran's words revealed the fear in his heart and his dependence on Shi, but Torch was not like this, he believed in himself, even if he knew that Shi Zai would handle it better, but he believed that he could do it well.

This self-confidence comes from Shi's teachings to him.

Shi once told him that if you are a soldier, the most important quality is obedience.

Obey the leadership of your superiors, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of you, even if there is an abyss in front of you, as long as it is a military order, you must step on it.

That time he asked Shi, what if it was a general, and what was the most important thing?

Assertive.

Shi replied without hesitation, he said that self-confidence can allow a general to maximize his war talents, and there is still a possibility of turning the tables in the event of an unfavorable situation in the war.

Ju was puzzled at the time, because Zhuo, the first general of the Fire Tribe Alliance, didn't seem to have such self-confidence, and he was clumsy, how could he still win?

Clumsiness is his self-confidence.

This is the answer given by Shi, self-confidence is a kind of faith, and the belief in oneself can be rampant or Jedi.

Since then, Ju has kept these things in his mind and acted on this principle.

He asked the soldiers to follow orders, he asked himself to act confidently, and he had done a good job all these years, not only for him, but for everyone, including Shi.

"Cheer up, eat yellow millet, check weapons, the front team is vigilant, the back team rests, and change the guard after a vigilance time. ”

Torch came to the front of the line and began to give military orders.

There are 2,000 fighters in the team, more than 400 people in the front team are vigilant, and 1,600 people in the back are resting, some are eating, some are wiping weapons, and some are simply lying down and pretending to sleep.

Torch kept moving from one group to another, making sure that their chosen defensive points and vigilance against the warriors had been lax, and after a few checks, he borrowed some giant wolves from the team and placed them at the front of the group.

These giant wolves are on the alert, and they will be alert as soon as the enemy approaches.

In the event of a fight, the wolves will retreat around the front team, and the team's style of play is not suitable for these wolves.

After about an hour, the team began to change guards, the front row changed to the back row, and most of the fighters who had just come to the back row fell asleep directly, so that they could recover their strength faster.

After three changes of defense, the enemy still did not come up, and the giant wolf in the front row became more and more vigilant, which proved that although the enemy did not attack, he was indeed approaching.

Time passed slowly, during which Shi woke up once, briefly checked the position and rested again.

Slowly, the morning light began to reveal through the clouds, and the sky and the earth were clear.

"Change the guard. ”

The torch quickened the pace of the change of guards, and the fighters were asked to eat all.

He guessed that the enemy would attack after daylight, because the enemy, who had been preparing all night, did not rest, and it would be disadvantageous for the enemy to wait any longer.

"Shall I send some warriors to help?"

He walked over and said to the torch who had not slept all night.

He also guessed that the enemy would attack early in the morning and looked like they would choose the west.

Ju shook his head, licked the snowflakes that fell to his mouth, and looked hard down the mountain.

Now the field as far as the eye can see is completely lit up, and what obstructs the view is the snowflakes blown by the north wind.

"Beware of enemy sneak attacks, just guard your side. ”

He nodded, glanced at the western line of defense, and walked in the direction of his guard.

Soon after dawn, the giant wolf in front of the team became more and more agitated, and the faint roar of a wild beast came from behind the wind and snow.

"Someone is suppressing the ferocity of the beasts, and if they were not restrained, these beasts should have attacked a long time ago. ”

The sound of the stone came, and the torch immediately stood up and saluted.

Shi bowed his hand and took a few steps forward and looked down condescendingly.

"Can there be an avalanche here?"

At night, the surroundings are not clearly visible, and this situation does not change until after dawn.

"No, the mountains on the left and right are low, and the sound can't resonate. ”

Torch said regretfully.

Shi nodded without much surprise, and the black mist contracted and entered a state of rest again.
