Chapter 286, the darkness before dawn
At midnight, with a whistle, the men and horses on the left and right sides immediately gathered in front of the gate of the position, and under the leadership of Xia Yan and Zhong Ming, they followed two routes and approached the Crassus position. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The middle road led by Lu Pingchuan set off half an hour later than them, and when they walked out of the camp gate, the three teams of men and horses, except for the commanders of each detachment, still did not know where they were going. However, the aftermath of the victory in the battle for the sentry fort was not extinguished, and the vast majority of the team members remained obedient and silent with confidence, and only struggled to move forward in the direction pointed by the command.
"The outlying outposts report on the surrounding situation!" Walking in the unfathomable jungle in the scattered moonlight, Lu Pingchuan, who followed the team for the first time since his body recovered, felt a burst of excitement for no reason, and also a little fear - the night road in the forest is not easy to walk, and the armored combat robot is large, and the movement is not small. In order to prevent detection by the enemy's outer patrol personnel, all three teams need to send canine wolf beast soldiers to preliminarily clear the terrain within a few hundred meters of the front before the main team officially enters. Luckily, the dogs and wolves all have night vision cameras, so although they were slower, they didn't have any trouble along the way.
The remaining sentries at the three outposts on the three main roads quickly replied, saying that no anomalies had been found. Lu Pingchuan sent contact information to Xia Yan, Zhong Ming, Situ Nan and Jiang Lan to ask about their respective situations, and all the answers they got were normal, except for Jiang Lan - not long after he walked out of the position, he never took the initiative to send any news back, Lu Pingchuan understood his personal style, and he didn't take it seriously at first, but half a day has passed, and Jiang Lan still has no news, which makes Lu Pingchuan feel a little apprehensive in his heart.
"No matter what the situation is, see the letter and reply quickly!" After sending the message to Jiang Lan, although the anxious mood had already jumped on the paper, Lu Pingchuan, who was in the team, still looked confident and steady on the surface. The three-way men had already passed through the middle ground between Caesar and Pompey's camp, and they were still less than two hours away from the enemy's position, and if they ordered to withdraw their troops because of Jiang Lan's unknown state, it would not only be a great waste of opportunity, time and energy, but also more likely to hit the morale that was currently flourishing.
However, it is not clear why, Lu Pingchuan has an inexplicable confidence support for the situation encountered by Jiang Lan along the way - he feels that with Jiang Lan's character, he may not return when the action goes smoothly, but once there is a problem or omission in the action, he will definitely send the news back even if he is desperate. It is also based on this trust that Lu Pingchuan issued the order of 'continuing to advance on the front three roads and stopping one kilometer outside the Pompeii position", which means that this operation has been like an arrow on the string and has to be launched.
At dawn in the rainforest, it can be more mysterious than in urban or desert terrain. Creatures at all levels of ecology shred the contours of the horizon and made the sinking moonlight even more scattered. Even with night-vision binoculars, it is difficult to distinguish the scenery just a dozen meters away. Due to the departure half an hour earlier than the middle road, the left side led by Xia Yan and the right side led by Zhong Ming had already arrived at the periphery of Pompeii's position. By the faint light from the direction of the position, both of them lay on two big trees in different positions, watching the movement of the position from a distance.
"Everything is working and very quiet." Looking at the Pompeii position that seemed to glow like duckweed in a dark sea of night, Zhong Ming sent a voice communication to Lu Pingchuan. I don't know if it was because of the blow caused by the battle for the outpost, the entire Pompeii position looked a little lifeless, compared to the bright lights and energetic Caesar's camp day and night, it was simply a world of difference.
"I'm fine here, it's just ......" Xia Yan half-squatted in the shadow of the tree, also holding a telescope to observe the movement on the left side of Pompeii's position, the lookout lights of the outpost fort in the position only dimly shone on the location not far from the gate, and there were no pairs of patrolmen, and even the mechanical sentries responsible for guarding the camp looked a little lazy. The whole camp is like a baby in the crook of a mother's arm, and from its calm and weak state, you can even imagine the dreams of the players in the barracks at this moment...... However, in this position that seemed to be captured, there was a little strangeness - Xia Yan couldn't be sure what it was, but this feeling always troubled her in making the decision of whether to act.
"Just what?" Lu Pingchuan's inquiry soon came from inside the earphones, Xia Yan frowned, and replied: "I can't say it, and there is nothing abnormal, but I always feel as if ...... What's missing...... For the sake of prudence, I still acted according to the original plan, and when dawn began, I launched first, followed by Zhong Ming, and if there was no ambush, then the middle lane would launch a strong attack. ”
