Chapter 156: Ambush
"I'm sorry, Lee, I haven't seen half a figure after looking all night, I guess the group of rangers hid in a ravine." David returned to camp with a depressed and exhausted expression.
"And who's behind you?" Belikov asked with some confusion.
"Behind us?" David was taken aback, turned his hair back, and now a figure appeared not far behind him.
"Damn, how did he touch it?" David was taken aback and hurriedly ordered his cavalry to catch the man.
"David, you don't think you're embarrassed enough!" Li yelled a little unpleasantly, and then said to the figure, "May I ask why Your Excellency is here?" ”
"Captain Okov of the 3rd Squadron of Icyrian salutes you, Your Excellency. We have been ordered to wait here for your arrival and deliver the information of the Rune supply convoy into your hands. Aukov saluted Lee and took off his hood, revealing his face.
"Is there anything that can prove your identity?" David said with an unkind face, anyone who is targeted will not feel good.
"The Icylian Ranger never leaves anything on them that can reveal his identity." Aukov said after glancing at David.
"In response to your words, I believe in your identity, please come to my tent, I need information about the Rune." Lee beckoned to Okov, and Belikov stepped forward to pat David, who was a little embarrassed, and took him and his men to rest in another tent.
Ten minutes later, Okov walked out of the camp and descended to the back of the hill. And Belikov came behind Lee.
"Do you want me to lead someone to ...... him", David then gestured with a throat-slitting gesture.
"If you want us to be hated by a bunch of cunning rangers." Lee shook his head and continued, "Although they are a group of routs. But after all, it's Gondor's elite troops, so we don't want to make a fuss. ”
"But now that our every move is under the watchful eye of that group of White City executives, it's a terrible feeling." Belikov said with some unhappiness.
"There are gains and losses, this guy has brought a lot of useful information, maybe we will be able to complete this mission easily. Go and see if David has rested, and if he has not yet slept, call him up, and gather all our soldiers and numberers. We're going to get moving. Li said with some excitement.
Okov found that the eyeliner without heels was behind him, and immediately returned to the place where Hu Bin was hiding. Then he asked Hu Bin: "Sir, why did you ask me to tell the true information to those lords?" ”
"After all, we represent the White City, and we can't leave a handle on these guys, otherwise if this matter is exposed, it will bring a lot of criticism to the regent, and you may also be charged with it."
Hu Bin's words made Okov break out in a cold sweat. But Okov still asked a little unwillingly: "Sir, do you just let them bypass the trap of the Rune and sneak attack the real supply convoy?" ”
"Who said that if you tell them the true information, you can't use it, as long as you tell them the news I asked you to say, you can look forward to the next development, I'm very optimistic about that lord." Hu Bin said with a faint smile, and Okov saw deep malice behind this smile.
"I'm sorry. Sir, I'm still a little confused, isn't our purpose to prevent them from sharing this credit for themselves, and since those lords are going to sneak up on the real supply convoys, should we go with them? Didn't you say before that we couldn't just expose our strength? Okov was a little confused by Hu Bin's words.
"No, we'll wait for those people to go. Go straight to the fake convoy, and since someone wants to fish, then always come up with enough bait. Hu Bin's order made Okov's brows furrow deeply, and when he was about to ask something, he suddenly saw a figure rushing out.
"Captain! Ah, sir, you're there too. "It turned out to be a ranger soldier who approached him.
"What's the matter?" Okov saw that his subordinates had interrupted the conversation with Hu Bin, and asked a little unpleasantly.
"The Runians have sent out a large number of rangers, and the team on the other side of the supply convoy can no longer keep an eye on them, and they are asking you what to do next." The soldiers quickly reported the news.
"Sir?" Okov was just about to reply, when he suddenly remembered that Hu Bin was still here.
"As expected, let's withdraw everyone, we don't need to monitor the situation there, give you an hour to prepare, and we'll leave when the time comes." Hu Bin ordered categorically.
"Yes!" Okov seemed to want to say something, but the soldier had already accepted the order and went to convey it to the others, and finally he sighed deeply, the person sent by the military headquarters to command this time really did not understand him.
An hour later, all the rangers were ready to go, Hu Bin stood outside the stronghold and looked at this elite army, his heart was hot, and he wanted to receive them all under his command, but unfortunately after this mission, his military power was about to be handed back, after all, he was not the real Lord of Gondor.
"That's fine, and I don't feel sorry for the loss." Hu Bin had no choice but to comfort himself like this.
Hu Bin's knights' subordinates were also ready, and after a night's rest, they were full of energy, and the full-body composite plate armor that needed to be taken off in a hurry was already neatly dressed. And those rangers now know that the knights they were able to hurt before were completely lucky, and they suspect that even a strong crossbow will not be able to easily hurt those soldiers in the iron shell.
Lorraine leaned in at this time and whispered to Hu Bin that he sensed the spell fluctuations of the long-range communication magic at the Lord's Camp of the Numbered One, and Hu Bin was waiting for this news, and his plan could finally be implemented.
"Let's go!" Hu Bin commanded the soldiers in front of him, and at the same time, Li said the same thing to his soldiers and many numbered people in the camp.
……
"Lee, are you sure that the information that the ranger said is true?" Belikov looked at the huge Lunesian supply convoy in the distance and said in a deep voice. No matter how hard you look at the protection of the Runnes, they don't want to protect a fleet of empty cars.
"Calm down, Belikov. That ranger shouldn't be joking about this information, if this information is wrong, unless we are all wiped out here, what awaits him is the sanctions of the military department, and the credibility of the White City side will also be hit. Learn from David and see if he's not very calm. ”
Belikov was a little surprised when he saw David's calm appearance, at this time David should have been worried about this and worrying about the place, when did he become so bold.
Hear Lee's words. David smiled bitterly: "I'm just nervous and can't open my mouth, Li, they are really going over, do you really think that the real supply convoy is behind?" ”
"It's worth the gamble!" Lee was silent for a long time, and did not answer David until the group was moving away.
"Then I'll take a gamble with you!" David secretly breathed a sigh of relief, revealing a confident expression. This made Belikov, who was secretly observing him, feel a sense of disobedience, but he couldn't tell where exactly it was violated. In the end, I thought I was too nervous and had a delusion.
Ten minutes later, the trio were pleasantly surprised to find another convoy slowly moving in, the wheels of the cart sinking deep into the dirt, which made them more and more sure that the Lunes supplies were loaded on the cart.
Li saw that the convoy gradually entered the ambush circle of his own people, and a trace of surprise passed in his heart, in his opinion. The troops near the convoy were no match for his own people at all, maybe he could destroy all the supplies before the troops in front of him came back to help, Li seemed to see a lot of military merit and wanted to beckon himself.
"These Icylian rangers are really powerful, and they can actually detect such important information with a small number of people. I'll be sure to see if I can recruit them when I go back. Li secretly made up his mind that even if he spent all the accumulated military merits. Be sure to get these elite Icyrian rangers, too, their role in scouting is simply too great.
"Lee, they've come into our ambush." David said with some impatience.
"Hold your breath and wait for them to get a little deeper." Lee's joy was already on his face, but he still suppressed his impulses to make the ambush more certain.
As the distance between the two sides grew closer, and the situation in the supply convoy became clearer and clearer, suddenly, a Lunn man dressed as an officer in the convoy looked at the location where Li was ambushing, and at that moment Li clearly saw the Lune's gaze on him, secretly said badly, and then shouted behind him, and led his men to attack. A large number of soldiers and numberers took off their camouflage and rushed towards the convoy.
What Lee didn't notice was that David, who was still very close to him, quietly slowed down and distanced himself further and further. Looking at the backs of Li and Belikov charging together, David sighed secretly: "I'm sorry, you are all going to be buried here today." ”
……
"There are really a lot of people, it seems that the Luen people have made a bloody investment, so many troops are dispatched to protect, the consumption must be not small, how many gold coins do you need!" Hu Bin said with a distressed face, while Okov listened with a pained look at his commander who felt sorry for the enemy, if Hu Bin was not an elf, he would even wonder if Hu Bin was a spy sent by the Lunes.
"Sir, are you sure we're going to do it in front of this convoy?" Looking at the subordinates who had been following him for many years, Okov asked with some difficulty.
"Of course not now, we're going to wait for a moment." Hu Bin said lightly, giving Okov a sunny smile, it seems that he is in a good mood.
But Okov was not in the mood, in fact he was already in a terrible mood.
"Sir, what exactly are you talking about, I need to warn you that the supply convoy will soon be out of our reconnaissance range." Hearing that it was not time to do it, Okov's heart dropped slightly, but he began to worry that they would miss the opportunity that Hu Bin said, although Okov did not understand what that timing was.
"You will know, since the supply team is about to go away, then we will follow, anyway, we have reserved a few ambush points in front, we just need to run faster, we will not lose these military achievements." Hu Bin said that he was really ready to transfer the troops.
"Sir, it's going to take a few minutes for these people to pass, we need to wait until they're far away to act, or they'll be discovered." Okov has been a little numb by Hu Bin's training, and he feels that the only thing he should do now is to close his mouth and resign himself to fate. Anyway, if something really happened, it was the elf who was responsible, and I hope I can keep my position after this mission. The daughter of the head of her village is still waiting for her to propose to her after she is promoted.
"What am I thinking?" Okov rubbed his face and found that Hu Bin hadn't noticed his crankiness, and that he would have to wait until the orcs were defeated.
"Hopefully the pressure on the Rune is strong enough, or I'm really going to have to fight hard." Hu Bin didn't notice that his subordinates almost set up a FG next to him, and there was actually a trace of solemnity buried under his seemingly relaxed appearance, even if the time he was looking forward to came, his troops might not be able to attack 100% successfully.
"Sir, there's a situation!" Aukov suddenly saw that the convoy not far away suddenly stopped moving. The cavalrymen who had been guarding around the convoy seemed to have received some orders, and rushed to the rear. Okov's heart moved, could this be the timing of what the chief said.
"Don't get excited, wait slowly, it's not time for us to show up." After Hu Bin saw the convoy stop, he immediately let go of his clenched palm and secretly made a celebratory gesture. But his face is still light-hearted.
……
"Shoot the arrows!" Belikov shouted orders his 50 archers to fire arrows at the accompanying guards near the convoy, and many of the Lune soldiers were stunned by the sudden attack, drew their weapons and fell stupid on the spot, killing many of them with a round of arrows.
However, before the second round of arrows hit, the soldiers, awakened by the screams, finally remembered what they had to do, and most of the soldiers quickly hid behind the transport truck. A small number of soldiers rushed in the direction of the rain of arrows, and of course all of them fell in the second blow of the archers.
Although the officers of the Rune shouted the order to counterattack, few of their soldiers dared to show their heads and shoot arrows at the opposite side, but they soon could not hide, because Lee had already led people to rush forward.
Lee was a little surprised. The response of the Lunes was so poor that the convoys did not behave like regular troops at all. Rather, it's like a bunch of militia. But the attack had already begun, and Lee couldn't care about these strange places.
"The Lunes probably thought that their bait tactics were successful and that no one would pay attention to this team, so they sent a group of recruits to deter possible bandits." Li could only comfort himself like this, but he was not without preparations, at least David and Belikov's cavalry had not yet been used.
As soon as the infantry of the two sides came into contact, the Lune's front almost collapsed. The numberers used all sorts of tactics to slaughter a large number of Rune soldiers as soon as they came up. As soon as Lee came up, he found the Lune officer who was commanding loudly, and the guy drew his sword and stood guard when he saw that the enemy was coming to the door.
A soldier under the unidentified numbered man suddenly rushed at Lee's prey, but the Rune officer killed the soldier with two swords, and the Rune officer made a defiant gesture towards Lee, ignoring the slaughtered subordinates around him.
Lee was annoyed by the contemptuous attitude of the Lune officer, who had lived a life as a lord in the fields, but had always fought against the stragglers of the desert people near his territory, and his personal martial arts skills had never been reduced.
Li broke directly into the officer's attack range, and the shield blocked the opponent's tricky stabbing path, and he was about to pass his sword from behind the shield, but the opponent was already prepared, and began to retreat halfway, making Li's attack miss.
"That's what you're supposed to be." Officer Lune's difficulty gave Li an inexplicable sense of reassurance, and Li also used his energy combat skills to directly split the officer's shield with a sword ray, and plunged the long sword into the enemy's chest and throat.
"It's just an aborigine." Lee drew his sword, knocked down his opponent's corpse with his shield, and then searched for his next favorite target, while the numbered people around him sighed as Lee devoured their most valuable target, making them even more desperate to slaughter the Rune soldiers.
There was a sound of horses' hooves, and the numberers in the field, very alert, broke away from the battle one after another, and looked in the direction from which the sound came, only to find that it was David and Belikov who were rushing with the cavalry.
"You bastards leave me some!" Belikov rushed into the battle group and shouted loudly.
"Bastard, who let you out." Lee roared angrily when he saw Belikov rushing up.
"We're going to feed ourselves too, aren't we, Lee?" David reined in his horse as he passed Lee, and said to him, and his cavalry joined in the final extermination of the Lune soldiers.
"Well, anyway, there are no accidents, I'd better go and see those supplies, after all, I have to destroy these materials before the troops in front rush back to support." Seeing that the Rune had fled, Lee gathered his weapons and headed for the nearest transport.
"Something is wrong, there must be something wrong." On the way to the transporter, Lee's instincts kept telling him that something was wrong. The pack horses on the transporter had been frightened by the battle on the battlefield, but the heavy wagons and the sturdy reins had trapped them in the cart, and they could only kick and neigh on the ground incessantly, and struggle even more fiercely at the sight of a stranger approaching them.
"Shut up!" Li Yijian put an end to the struggling pack horse and vented the panic caused by the sudden warning in his heart. He looked at the cart full of goods and reached for the canvas on it.
"By the way, it all went so smoothly, it almost seemed like it was planned." It wasn't until Lee's hand touched the canvas that Lee understood what was wrong.
Lee lifted the canvas covering the goods, revealing the contents of the goods.
