Chapter 312: Commander and Sword
After only one night of rest in Fang Tiancheng, Zhou Yu and the others set off to target the southern continent.
Xiao Liang's hiding place was very hidden, so hidden that most of the governors themselves searched for half a day, and as expected, this guy moved his nest again. However, this time Zhou Yu did not smoke it, but instead counted it fiercely. After all, you can't always educate with sticks, and it will backfire over time.
However, the news he got from Fang Tiancheng showed that Pulan City and Ilek City had fallen, how could he take it down with four soldiers and one soldier? Fortunately, it is reported that the guerrillas are not small, and they should be formed jointly by Xerxes and Jessor, but how did they find them?
Guerrilla guerrilla warfare means swimming and attacking, and letting a group of people run to find another group of moving targets is simply a fool's dream.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu had a plan, he turned back to Fang Tiancheng, and asked for a few official clothes and a few carriages, and the carts were tightened with thick ropes, and four or five people marched towards Ilek City with a mighty and swaggering manner.
Because they were wearing the clothes of the officers and soldiers of Saurasia, Tudajelang and the others felt very uncomfortable, after all, they were not civil servants here, and it was a little unreasonable to wear other people's clothes, in case they encountered a thief stealing and sliding the door and picking the lock, do you care or not?
However, the implementation proved that they had thought too much, and they were still about forty kilometers away from the city of Ileke, and they were intercepted by a group of masked bandits.
"Stop!"
A cavalry squad of forty or fifty people surrounded Zhou Yu and the carriage, and the one led by Zhou Yu wore the same metal mask as Zhou Yu and looked at himself from the dark black hole.
"What's in the car?"
It is estimated that the grain and grass soldiers in front of him did not dare to resist stubbornly, and the captain led by him did not even pull out the knife, but turned the horse's head and walked around the carriage, stopped in front of Zhou Yu and asked.
The man sat in a carriage, and the others were on horseback. It seems that he must be a big leader.
That's right, Zhou Yu was sitting in the carriage, but he was caused by a bad stomach last night and a loose stomach, if he usually likes to ride a horse more than anyone else. Haha, a little dirty, a little dirty!
"Who are you?"
Zhou Yu sat on top of the three boxes stacked in the carriage, condescendingly, gnawing on chicken legs, he didn't answer other people's questions but asked instead, tearing off a piece of pasted dead skin by the way, and spit on the face of the person who asked him. The man couldn't dodge, and the greasy goosebump fell down his neck into his clothes, turning around and scratching and embarrassed.
"Okay, you are a soldier, you dare to insult me?"
The leader was so ashamed that he opened the whip in his hand and drew it. Unexpectedly, under such a large gap in numbers, he was swept off his horse with a horizontal stick.
Needless to say, the person who came out of the stick was Jayron. This kid was born with brute strength, and the giant pestle in his hand was originally a chariot.
Zhou Yu squinted his eyes and looked at the thief's head, spit out two mouthfuls of bones, not at all timid because he was surrounded, but there was an expression of disgust on his face.
"Where did you get out of the bandits? How dare you block the road and rob it, and pretend to be a guerrilla? ”
These men wore metal masks that symbolized slave soldiers, but their behavior was very filthy, and the Governor estimated that they would not dare to attack the soldiers because they had ten times more people than they did, otherwise they would never dare to come closer.
The main purpose of going back to find prisoners to help them this time was to pretend to be grain and grass soldiers who were transporting military supplies between cities, which was most likely to lead the guerrillas to appear. What Zhou Yu thought was, since it's hard to find, I'll let you come to me, it's always okay, right?
Unexpectedly, it didn't lead to the Immortal Army, but it led to a group of small thieves. Lao Xue, Lao Xue, look at what kind of reputation you have, you have been wise for several lifetimes and have been pretended by a group of chicken and dog thieves, it seems that you can only rely on me to help you wipe your ass.
"Horse bandits? We are the Xilan slave soldiers, and the entire southern continent is in our hands. You kid don't hurry up and grab it, put down the things and get out quickly, maybe I can spare you from dying! ”
A horse bandit next to him pointed a whip in his hand, and he was arrogant.
"No, Lao Tzu's beating can't be in vain. Damn, no one is allowed to leave today! ”
The leader was probably not satisfied with the second master's decision to take matters into his own hands, glared at him fiercely, rubbed his waist and was about to rush over to fight with Jayron.
As soon as he took a step, there was a sound of breaking the air, and the big boss was hit by an arrow in his throat, but it was still an arrow. Pouton fell to his knees, and then the whole person fell down the street, out of breath.
Everyone looked at each other, and then the sound of panic was repeated, and the steel knife was pulled out one by one. Zhou Yu didn't care, looking around for where the cold arrow was shot, this kind of play was definitely not a few of his own people in the near distance, it should be a sneak attack from a distance.
A few horse whistles came, and a few small brain melons loomed in the forest and on the hillside in the distance, more and more, and finally a black one.
came, Zhou Yu snapped his fingers, and a smile appeared on his face.
The dozens of horse thieves who were still majestic and devouring all directions just now instantly became chaotic, and one by one they turned their horses' heads and spun in place, not knowing whether to flee or fight.
"What's wrong, scared?"
"Hmph, don't be complacent. We are fake, and you will not be rampant for long, and this group of guerrillas will not spare you group of soldiers. ”
"Haha, joke, today I'll let you see if it's you who is rampant or I'm rampant. But don't you want to know how I found out about you? ”
Thanks to Zhou Yu's heart, he was surrounded by thousands of people in front of him into an iron bucket array, and he still had the heart to deal with this group of thieves.
"First, your goal is not people but goods, which means that the purpose is to make money, not to kill people, and that is not the true nature of the guerrillas."
"Second, by looking at the whip you use, you know that you are from a poor background, and you are not born warriors by farming and raising other means to earn a living."
"Thirdly, I said big brothers, you also look like a little makeup, is that your mask right? Is that what the slave soldier's mask looks like? Is that so? ”
As he spoke, Zhou Yu took out his new mask from his baggage, it was a fashion brand he invented, how could he make these little fakes look like this? If there is a consumer association, they must sue them until they go bankrupt and go out of business.
"So, so you're guerrillas?"
Before the words were finished, the horse thieves turned around and ran, and the big boss and the second boss went hand in hand, scrambling to be the first. Unfortunately, they couldn't outrun the arrows, and the semi-circular encirclement raised their bows in unison, and a familiar rain of arrows shot over, exactly the familiar parabola from the corpse swamp chapter squid and the military base.
"Your Excellency!"
"Captain!"
Before anyone could come, the voice shouted.
It was Masha who rushed over and knelt on the ground, hugging Zhou Yu's thigh and crying bitterly. This kid has lost weight.
"What's the matter, Marsha? Am I not coming back? ”
"My lord, you're back, we, we want to kill you!"
"I miss you!"
The roar shook the sky, and thousands of people shouted out four words in unison, and Zhou Yu burst into tears. At a glance, those were all familiar faces, full of immortals in front of him. Scenes, drops, and grudges came to mind, and he thought of the slave camp and the fat in the stables.
"Hurry up, Marsha, they're all great commanders, and it's a shame to kneel like this."
Zhou Yu tried his best to help, but Marsha couldn't get up alive or dead, and a veteran's tears were shed for the chief, and also for himself.
The Metropolitan Governor understood his thoughts, many things had happened since he left, Kezin was killed in the battle and Zhan Suo fled, and the fortresses of Ilek City and Puran City were lost, and it is not known how their mission of sniping the envoy of the Water King has been completed, but looking at the current passive situation, it should be a failure.
In the face of so many failures and setbacks, how could slave-born soldiers such as Bamble, Marsha, and Kazik not be worried and live like a year, if it were not for Xerxes in prison, it is estimated that they would have been no soldiers and no army would have been an army.
"Get up and talk, if you don't get up again, I'll practice swordsmanship!"
With a thud, Masha burst into tears and laughed, this stalk was only known to him and Bamble, it was the reaction of the last Samir on the grassland after Philina sent someone to pick up the Governor from the inn, and others absolutely did not know.
"My lord, why are you here?"
Masha wiped away her tears and brushed away the linen cloth the guards had handed her.
"I didn't cry! Fuck off, grandma's! ”
"Hahaha!"
Hearty laughter resounded through the mountains and forests.
"Let's go, talk as we go."
"Yes, sir. After you left, a lot happened to Thoraxia. I, Bambur, and Kazik took turns admonishing the commander that they had sent a team to find you. However, the commander did not agree. ”
"He is right not to agree, if you look for a needle in a haystack, not only will you not find me, but I may have died a long time ago."
Zhou Yu's worries are not unreasonable, under this criterion of survival of the fittest, it is indeed unknown how many days a small team of people and horses can live, especially in Soracia, where Philena has lost power, if she breaks into Dubancia like a headless fly, the chance of survival is even slimmer.
Therefore, Xerxes asked them to hold their troops still, use guerrilla warfare to contain the enemy, wait for the opportunity, and wait for the opportunity to counterattack, which is the most appropriate choice.
"How is Lao Xue?"
"You mean Commander?"
Masha crossed her hands together and patted the wooden box under her who was sitting side by side with Zhou Yu, thoughtful but silent.
"If you have something to say, when did your mother-in-law and mother-in-law do it? Believe it or not, I'm pumping you? ”
The Metropolitan Governor raised his hand and made a gesture to fight, but Masha hurriedly lowered his body.
"The Commander is very, very good, but, but...
"But what?"
"Still, he wanted to win a little too much."
"What does it mean to want to win too much?"
Zhou Yu frowned, unable to understand Marsha's words.
"It's just that I feel like he's always taking victory as the only way to prove his strength, and he doesn't care so much about the rest of the world. Unlike you, it feels like we're brothers. ”
Masha never betrayed himself, he only understood with one sentence Zhou Yu, the slave soldiers did not regard Xerxes as a brother, but as a commander; And Xerxes didn't treat the slave soldiers as buddies, as swords.
