Chapter 921: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas
After receiving the task of reconnaissance and patrol, Bai Qi returned to the barracks suspiciously.
Seeing Bai Qi's face, Chen Dong felt a little stunned in his heart.
Maybe...... This trip did not dispel doubts, but made Bai Qi more suspicious, right?
"Captain Bai Wu, what is our mission today?"
Meng Dabiao didn't notice Bai Qi's strange appearance and asked.
"Scout patrols."
Bai Qi came back to his senses, suppressed the complicated thoughts in his heart, and said calmly: "Get ready, and set off in five minutes." ”
It was also when Meng Dabiao and the three of them packed up and prepared.
Chen Dong was called outside the barracks by Bai Qi.
Without the slightest concealment, Bai Qi said bluntly: "The Jinwei Banner where Commander Xiao is located has not had the task of escorting the supply convoy for a while, and the task of escorting the supply convoy is generally the troops under the command of the twelve Jinwei in turn. ”
"And then?"
Chen Dong frowned slightly: "Didn't you inquire about anything else?" ”
"This has already been found out by me with my connections, and if I dig deeper, I will be violating military law." Bai Qi was a little helpless: "He is the commander, I am the commander of the district, and I secretly investigated him for the following crimes." ”
Chen Dong rubbed his nose, saw Bai Qi's suspicious appearance, and explained with a smile: "Don't worry too much, you just saw people go out of the city, maybe there are other secret missions?" After all, you can't find out anyway, I have to hide my identity now, and I can't use the power of the dragon head guard to investigate, take a step at a time. ”
"That's all there is to it."
Bai Qi nodded helplessly.
Soon, Meng Dabiao and the three of them were all packed up.
Bai Qi took Chen Dong and the others to the quartermaster office to receive the equipment, and then the five of them rode their war horses out of the city, and walked straight to the outside of the northern frontier in the wind and snow.
And what Chen Dong and others don't know is.
From the time they rode their horses to the north gate of the city, until they left the city and disappeared in the snowstorm.
On the northern city wall, there is always a pair of eyes, like a poisonous snake in the shadows, staring at them deadly.
Until Chen Dong and the others disappeared into the wind and snow, and they couldn't even see a shadow at all.
Commander Xiao retracted his gaze at this time, raised his head to feel the biting cold wind and snow, and muttered in a low voice: "Great Heavenly Wolf, this is my first step to surrender to you, I hope you will not let me down......"
The sound was low, and it was all hidden in the howling of the wind and snow.
No one heard.
Outside the northern frontier, vast barren snowfields.
The cold wind was howling.
Wrapped in the torrential snow, it splashed down mercilessly.
It seems that this side of the earth is going to be completely swallowed and buried.
The closer we get to winter, the cooler the temperature in the northern frontier becomes, and the more rampant the wind and snow become.
As for the places outside the Northern Frontier, it is an extremely cruel place, an extremely cold place, and there are corpses and bones under every inch of snowy soil!
Chen Dong and his entourage of five, dressed in armor and heavily armed, rode across the war horse and quickly walked towards the depths of the territory.
Compared with the first reconnaissance patrol, this time the five people talked much less and more vigilantly and attentively.
Rao is white, and the same is true!
The first reconnaissance patrol completely exceeded Bai Qi's expectations.
At that time, if it weren't for the variable of Chen Dong in the team, Bai Qi was sure that he would survive, but he was not sure that Meng Dabiao and the three would survive.
This time, Bai Qi didn't dare to be careless.
Even a reconnaissance patrol that is considered the safest in the eyes of everyone is very likely to suddenly turn around and kill at a moment's notice.
"This time, is it still a hundred miles deep?"
In the depth, Chen Dong asked Bai Qi loudly.
Even if the sound is loud, it can be drowned in the wind and snow, and it can only be heard by Bai Qi.
As soon as the words came out.
Meng Dabiao, Sun Kong and Zhou Yao also looked at Bai Qi.
As the captain of the team, Bai Qi has an irreplaceable voice in this team.
The depth of the reconnaissance patrol is also decided in vain!
But this time, Bai Qi didn't have the heroic domineering of the last time, but frowned and pondered.
He knew why Chen Dong suddenly asked such a question.
Because the current situation in the northern frontier is secretly turbulent and changing rapidly.
The appearance of the Hundred Clans Order and the secret alliance of the Hundred Clans also contributed to the emboldening of the various tribes.
With such a change, even the original range of 100 miles in depth and 10 miles horizontally has now become a hidden crisis.
Domineering is only possible when there should be, and when the situation changes, Bai Qi is not stupid enough to be ignorant and domineering.
He hesitated for a moment.
Bai Qi said: "Take one step at a time, everything is under my command." ”
did not respond directly to Chen Dong's inquiry, but responded like a leeway.
But when it fell into the ears of Chen Dong, Meng Dabiao and others, it was a different taste.
Chen Dong knew what Bai Qi meant, but Meng Dabiao, Sun Kong and Zhou Yao were confused.
This time, Bai Qi's tone is obviously very different from the tone last time, and it is like two people.
Don't...... What's going to happen?
Along the way, the atmosphere became noticeably tense.
Whether it was Chen Dong, Bai Qi, or Meng Dabiao, they all cheered up and were always careful to watch out for all changes around them.
In the midst of a snowstorm, strong winds and blizzards can greatly conceal their tracks.
This also makes it difficult to find targets and greatly increases the risk of reconnaissance patrols.
The only thing that remains unchanged may be that this violent storm is fair, and the drawbacks and risks of Chen Dong and them also exist for the rest of the foreign clans.
It was also when Chen Dong and the five of them went all the way to the outside of the territory.
To the north of Zhenjiang City, outside the Northern Frontier, a force suddenly appeared in the midst of a violent snowstorm.
This unit does not erect a big banner and does not have a number.
The whole team consisted of five hundred men, all armored and armed, all riding on war horses, but they did not look so neat, but they exuded a messy atmosphere.
For among the troops of 500 men, there are four colors of armor alone.
The team of 500 people, although not much, can cover the snowfield, and still stand out in the fierce snowstorm.
The whole team was immersed in a deathly silence, solemn and solemn, and moved forward.
All that reverberated in the ranks was the roar of five hundred horses galloping wildly, and the snow curtains that remained along the way.
And at the front of the line.
The golden beard and brown-green eyes, even if they are wearing armor, they are not covered by a face armor, but they are clear enough to make people look at it at a glance and are impressive.
"Hurry up, everyone, the mission is over, and the money will be rewarded!"
Timur turned around and shouted to the team behind him, his brown and green eyes full of coldness and slaughter.
This team was gathered by him in the frontier with a lot of money.
Although it is messy, these are all mercenaries who wander outside the frontier, and they still have combat quality, which is not comparable to ordinary people.
Not to mention...... If 500 people fight 5 people, is it possible to lose?
Apparently impossible!
After the crowd tactics have reached a certain extreme, what erupts is the result of crushing.
Even if...... One of the targets is the former dragon guard!
"The Heavenly Wolf of the Royal Court is above, as long as this mission is completed, there will be a termite from my Hundred Clans in the Great Snow Dragoon, and it will definitely help my Hundred Clans quickly corrode the hard walls of the Great Snow Dragoon!"
Timur squinted his eyes and looked coldly ahead: "Bai Qi...... On behalf of the great Celestial Wolf, I congratulate you on being a target of prey, in your words...... It's called praying mantis catching cicadas
