Chapter 6: An Enemy Is Imminent: XXXVII. Ambush

I said, "Isn't that you?" You can blow it so well, just enough to show your powers, and you still blow these hundreds of people to death?! ”

The old cannon also said, "Brother, come on!" I'm optimistic about you. ”

As we spoke, we arrived in the valley of windy sand that came out of the mountain. I asked the old man and Xiao Zhu to take one each, look for a place in the valley where the flying sand and rocks are more dense, and plant explosives on the top of the valley to detonate them when the mercenary team passes by, and kill and injure them as much as possible. I led the others to the top of the slope behind the storm.

The top of the slope behind the tuyere was my first line of defense, and I took everyone here to work as porters. We collect as many stones as we can on the slope and pile them on the top of the slope with the intention of creating a rolling stone henge. If you let the mercenary team march halfway up, suddenly launch this Rolling Stonehenge. This large and small stone rolling all over the slope will definitely have an unexpected effect.

Originally, I wanted to set up a blocking position here, because with the terrain and wind and sand here, it was impossible to attack from the bottom of the hillside. As long as there are a dozen or so people, let him have thousands of troops, he will not want to take a step from here. But the wind and cold here are unbearable, especially at night on the top of the hillside. So I had to give up this plan and stop and wound the enemy here during the day, in order to buy a little more time.

We had gathered almost all the stones on the top of the hillside and in the vicinity, and by this time it was not far from dusk. Just as we were about to withdraw as a whole, we found that one of the rocks in the windless mouth was piercing out and running towards the hillside as if flying. Faceless raised his gun and aimed it at the man. I looked at it and hurriedly stopped Faceless, "Don't shoot, it's your own people." ”

It was Dole who was rushing up the hillside. Dorler went up to the top of the hill and was overjoyed to see that I was here. I asked him how it was going over there. Early in the morning, Doler said, the camp found that people were missing, so it sent teams to search in different directions. Thankfully, they listened to me and evacuated the spot earlier, and if they had been late, they would have been discovered by the searchers. The men searched until noon, when they all withdrew to the camp. Fortunately, they hid in the distance and hid very secretly, so they were not discovered. Doler said that since the afternoon, the number of people in the camp has increased again, and it seems that more people have come than yesterday. He saw that the momentum was not right, so one person ran back to report the news, and let the other person stay where he was. Doler said that the people who came in the afternoon also brought some boxes, but the boxes were not opened, and it was not known what was inside.

Hearing what Doler had said, I thought of something that the captive might not have told the truth, whether it was intentional or something he didn't know. I wonder what kind of weapons and equipment these mercenaries might use when they are coming? And that's something I've been ignoring before.

With this in mind, I told Dole to make a little more effort, and then went back to monitor the mercenaries' movements to prevent them from launching a surprise attack at night. I wanted to visit the camp again, but I gave up on the idea when I thought there was something else to do next. I told Faceless to take some food for Dole to take with him, and told Dole and the watchman who stayed behind to evacuate before dawn tomorrow, destroying or hiding the only road in the wind vent when they evacuated, and setting up traps along the way to slow down the mercenaries as much as possible. When they retreated to the current hillside, they stayed here to keep an eye on it, and used the rocks on the slope to stop the mercenaries.

On the way back to the tribe, I once again carefully observed the terrain of the valley and asked the old man and Xiao Sha about the explosives and the power they might have. On the last hillside after the valley, I stood for a long time. This is the last line of defense against the mercenaries, and standing here, I think about all the arrangements again. I also wondered, if I'm an attacker, how do I deal with these existing blockades? What kind of equipment and weapons do I need to get through the level safely? I know that these blockades are not the most perfect in the current conditions and conditions, but can I find the flaws in them as soon as possible? Do you want to get the right solution?

I strained all the arrangements and copings in my head, and then went back to Uncle Goog's cabin with everyone. I asked the old man to take charge of those left behind by the younger brother for the time being, and asked him to arrange for the sentry to be sent out after dark, just in case the mercenaries sent men, and they escaped Dole's surveillance and crept in.

Then I went to the leader of the tribe. The leader of the tribe told me that the fortified wall of the village had been completed, and that he would lead the men of the village to retreat to the temple early tomorrow morning. Once again, I told the leader of the tribe two things, one was to immediately send someone to block the tunnel of Uncle Guge's house, and block all the entrances and exits. Because Ruoyu knows about this tunnel, we have to prevent mercenaries from using it. Second, on the way to the temple, be careful to prevent this girl named Ruoyu from escaping from the temple. Speaking of which, I have some hatred in my heart, this Ruoyu, I know too much, and the harm to the tribe is too great.

Once again, I returned to Uncle Guge's hut, where Li Lili and Lao Pao had already built a fire, and were setting up pots to boil jerky and potatoes. The aroma of food soon filled the room, and Li Lili and Lao Pao took out a few bottles of "Erguotou" and were about to take a few sips happily. I stopped them and said that from today, from now on, until the mission is completed, no one is allowed to drink, not even a sip. Even if someone is willing to be killed by someone in a daze, it can't be done, because even if he dies, he can't affect others. This matter was not negotiable. Then, I asked everyone to bring the necessary supplies and seal all the rest. Including the liquor that everyone was carrying. Starting tomorrow morning, we will carry out our mission, the contents of the sealed box, I have already given to the leader of the tribe, he will send someone to transport it to the temple, and give it to the younger brother who has already arrived in advance.

After dinner, everyone except the sentinels sent by the old man began to go to bed. Lao Pao opened his mouth several times, but I was unceremoniously interrupted. I said now we have to recharge our energy and adjust ourselves to the best and prepare ourselves for tomorrow's fight. I hope that all of us will survive tomorrow's battle.

Now that the fight is inevitable, we have to go all out.
