Chapter 308: Division of Troops
"The danger of the reconnaissance operation, I am sure everyone knows, you are all the best soldiers selected among the soldiers of Harrom City, the situation we have to face is very difficult, I hope you can complete the task together."
Leaving the city walls, the basket gathers everyone together to assign tasks.
"Dorne, you take two men to approach the enemy position from the flank, we divide into three groups, I will go around the woods in the rear, you two groups are waiting in front, if the enemy makes any moves, quickly retreat and report back to the city."
In such a dark night, the enemy is also ready to move, and you don't have to get too close, the small basket can feel the extraordinary atmosphere.
"I want to be in a group with you!"
Dorne whispered that since Basket was the leader, she was his chief, and even if he had his own ideas, he had to get Basket's consent.
"Nope."
However, the basket did not agree.
Divided into three combat groups, how can there be any reason for the two leaders to get together in one group?
“……”
Of course, Dorn also knew that his request was unreasonable, and after being rejected by the small basket, he could only nod in disappointment.
But his magical premonition as a member of the altar told him that he couldn't go too far from the basket at this time, and that something unexpected was likely to happen next.
"Be careful."
The basket was assigned all the routes, and the direction led by Dorne was the closest, I don't know if the basket took care of his physical strength, and at the same time, she also divided the other two people to send back the news that the enemy camp seemed to be a little restless at night.
The basket doesn't have the sixth sense of the altar, but judging by the scene in front of him, the enemy should be ready to act soon.
"The same goes for you."
The squad dispersed, and Dorn, carrying a heavy weapon case on his back, led his men to the enemy camp under the cover of night.
In this mission, in addition to the folding crossbow arrows that are standard for the personnel of the altar, he also brought the repeating crossbow that Ana issued to everyone, and the weapon box was placed in the quiver box that had been preloaded with crossbow arrows, and they came out to scout, carrying fewer weapons than the guards, but for Dorne, it was indeed a big burden.
"My lord, I'll carry it for you."
Dorne's soldiers couldn't stand his struggle.
"I don't need it for the time being, if I really can't take it, I'll give it to you."
Dorn refused, he wasn't trying to be strong, and after calculating, he was confident that he would be able to complete the reconnaissance mission.
Although he was tired and embarrassed like a dog, he didn't want to admit defeat.
After they reached their intended position, Dorn lay down in the weeds, took out the binoculars and put them in front of him, the basket was correct, the group of enemies really made a move tonight.
Fortunately, their people have already gone back to report the news.
"Wait, did the enemy come out of the camp?"
Dorn adjusted the focus of the telescope, it was too dark in the field, there was no moon or stars today, there was no lighting at all, it could be said that he couldn't see his five fingers, and when he closed his eyes, it seemed that his body could melt into the darkness.
But at this point, Dorn saw a moving point of light.
The scouts of the same group hurriedly picked up the binoculars to observe, even if it is a sneak attack, a large-scale march in this environment must be guided by a light source, otherwise many people in the enemy's team will be lost, but the direction in which this group of people is traveling seems to be coming straight towards them!
Were they discovered, or?
"Keep moving."
Dorne, who had just put down the weapon box and had not rested, could only resign himself to carrying the weapon box again, and he led the people around the rear, wanting to meet the small basket.
This group of people is only guided by a tiny point of light, and their distance is relatively safe now, but at the same time, they can't see how many people there are on the other side, and it is too risky to get close and observe, and if they are discovered, they will definitely be arrested along with their companions.
What was the purpose of the enemy leaving the camp at night, reconnaissance or raid?
Wrong! Why can I see the light from other torches even if I change direction?
Dorn immediately told everyone to stop, and hid in the gap of a pile of rocks, and he took out his compass to determine the direction of the faint spark on fire.
The enemy is divided into two ways?
"Oops! Small baskets they are in danger! ”
Dorne chuckled inwardly, and the ominous premonition that he had been shouting about seemed to have come true.
"What are we going to do?"
Hearing Dorne's words, the team members also panicked.
"Don't panic, there are four of us, one will go back to report the news, and the other will go to the side team, let them go to the woods in the back and I will be with me, and the rest will go with me to support the small basket."
Dorne was glad that they had already sent someone back to the city to report the news, but now there was a point, since the enemy soldiers were divided into two routes, which side of the two roads was the main force?
"Those who go back to report the news, pay attention to make the enemy's division of troops clear, do you know?"
Dorn was also surprised that this group of enemies from the north seemed to be quite good at strategy, not only using cavalry charges, but also knowing the tactics of striking east and west.
It's just that Cudi, who formulated the strategy of war, could not have imagined that there was a person in the distant southern country who would tell the children about the Thirty-Six Strategies as a children's book.
Give the dummy?
Even if Dorn can't confirm which side has the most people at this time, as long as the news is sent back to Ana, Harrom City has plenty of men and weapons, and both sides are well defended, and it will be foolproof.
At this point, the most urgent thing is for him to find the basket and make sure that she is not in danger.
Dorn didn't know which side was the bait, but the small basket, which was almost deep in the enemy line, knew very well that the main force of the cunning enemy was passing by them, and it seemed that they were going to sneak up on the back of Harrom from the side.
It's so treacherous!
The basket and the two soldiers hid behind a mound of earth, there were a lot of people on this side, and the speed of the march was not slow, and on the back of Harom City was an oil processing plant, where the walls were higher, but if the main force was dragged by bait from other directions, maybe the city would really be breached.
She wanted to go back and deliver the message, but now their retreat route was cut off.
They were too close to the enemy, and if they fled in the opposite direction, they would be farther and farther away from the city of Harrom, and they would not have time to report back.
"Everyone, hide and don't be discovered."
The basket whispered.
It was best for them to carry nothing reflective on their bodies except weapons, for which the basket did not wear a mask to cover the scars on her face, and the broken hair on her forehead was scattered, so that her eyes were obscured.
I don't know what the situation is like on Dorne's side, whether there are any enemies.
I hope that Dorne will not encounter the enemy in their direction, and if they do, they must retreat smoothly and pass the news back.
Xiao Basket said silently in his heart.
