A shrill whistle sounded in the convoy camp, and at this time it was just dawn, and most of the people were still asleep, except for the guards who were on vigil.

The sentry was a familiar voice to everyone in the convoy, including the slaves who joined later, who had heard it countless times.

According to the requirements of the Lei Division, when you hear the sentry, no matter what you are doing, you must put down what you are doing, put your whole body neatly clothed, assemble as quickly as possible according to the unit you are in, and be ready to fight at any time.

There are many rules for the Lei Division, and everyone can understand that the golden road is never easy to walk, even if it is a large convoy, it is not a strange thing to be attacked, or the entire army is wiped out in extreme weather.

The people who die on this road every year are incalculable, hundreds are few, and it is not strange to die thousands of people.

Walking this way, it is normal for the rules to be bigger, even if it is a gang composed of more than a dozen merchants, you must first say the rules.

Renault's training results were not bad, and the first to arrive was the escort detachment, and the escort team at this time was no longer the original three or two kittens.

At first, the Black Phoenix and the Tiger family followed, and then the Rainforest Legacy joined, and a month ago, two hundred slaves volunteered to join the escort.

At present, the total number of escorts has exceeded 400 people, accounting for a small half of the total number of convoys. Except for a hundred full-time guards, everyone else has to work.

The second to arrive was the flying group, which at this time was ready to take off at any time. This is the rule that Song Zhe doesn't understand the most, the whistle sounds, indicating that there is an enemy approaching, the flying team is composed of high-grade martial artists, and the lowest is also the fifth grade, including several ninth grades and four grandmasters, and now they are all famous in the flying brigade.

It can be said that the main combat force in the convoy is all in the flying brigade, and if the enemy is coming, what does it mean to be ready to take off without the guys?

After that, there is the teaching team, the logistics team, the craftsman team, and the coachman team.

The so-called coachman team is actually a slave team, and Renault felt that it was very insulting to call it a slave, and the slaves needed to catch the car anyway, so he changed the name to the coachman team.

Don't you say it, among these slaves, there are really hidden talents, as the recognition of the Divine Gong Temple by the slaves continues to increase, four martial artists have been discovered, and the grades are not high, only one has reached the fifth rank and has been incorporated into the flying team.

Don't look at only one, the repercussions among the slaves are very large. Slaves, how can they become pilots?

In half an hour, everyone who should have come came, except for a few guards, who were still guarding the camp, everyone else had arrived.

Renault stood on the roof of the car and coughed lightly: "Three hundred and fifty miles away from our camp, a sand bandit was found, with a total number of six hundred and eighty-seven people. The name of this sand thief is Liuyun, and I believe many people have heard of it. ”

"Ah, it's the Wandering Cloud Thief!" someone exclaimed.

The team of coachmen in the convoy were all slaves, most of whom were bought in Huangshakou, and the personnel in it were more complicated, including caravan guards, pack gangs, and some of them were originally sand thieves.

The Liuyun Bandit is not the biggest among the desert sand bandits, and it can't even rank in the top ten. The number of people has remained at about 500, and at the peak it was less than 1,000.

Compared with the three major sand bandits, it is far behind.

The three major sand thieves in the desert, the Yellow Turban, the Black Stone, and the Green Wolf, are all sand thieves with tens of thousands of people, and it is not easy to gather tens of thousands of people in the desert.

In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that behind these three major sand thieves, there are people who support them. The Yellow Turban Sand Thieves were wiped out on impulse, and now there are only two major sand thieves in the desert.

Under these two major sand thieves, there are nearly twenty sand bandits with a scale of thousands of people. The Drifting Cloud Bandits are a standard medium-sized sand pirate group, with a number of between 500 and 1,000, and less than 500, which is called a small sand bandit.

Generally speaking, small sand pirate groups are the most difficult to survive, and they have no strength to rob, so they can only form a group, and they have to be careful of their accomplices.

Medium-sized sand bandits are slightly better, and it can only depend on luck, if you meet a small or lonely pack trader, you can eat for a few years.

The Liuyun Thieves are different, this sand thief has existed for hundreds of years, coming and going like the wind, and the combat power is strong, it is said that the combatants must be warriors, otherwise people will not accept them at all. Most of the more than 500 sand pirate regiments are combat members, and this number is quite terrifying.

If you look at Renault's convoy, you can see that the convoy of nearly 1,000 people and the number of warriors are only more than 200 people, which is also quite strong among the pack gangs.

Of course, the four grandmasters can't be counted, and in the southwest region, grandmasters are very rare.

The Liuyun Thieves have existed for a long time and are familiar with the desert, so no one can say how many dens there are. Don't look at the great fame of sand thieves among the people, in fact, they rarely dare to touch nobles, and even if they do, they only rob money and will not hurt people.

The Yellow Turban Sand Thieves were exterminated because they moved the nobles. The Flowing Cloud Thief is more special, there is no support from any forces behind him, he is a pure sand thief, and he likes to attack nobles.

In the past hundred years, there have been double digits of nobles who have died at the hands of the Liuyun thieves, and the same number of nobles have been kidnapped, and finally ransom people with a large amount of property.

On the bounty list of Da Chu, the highest bounty for the southwest sand thieves is not the three major sand pirate groups, but the Liuyun thieves. The bounty has been on for ninety years, and to this day, the Cloud Thieves are still active, and even the Desert Legion can't do anything about them.

Renault and the others below quieted down and continued: "Since you have encountered it, you will clean it up, and if you don't want to completely eliminate it, at least you must eliminate most of the Flowing Cloud Thieves." Next, Chu Jiayi was in charge of the convoy, and I led the flight team, the escort team, and the teaching team to carry out the battle, and the craftsman brigade was divided into a part of the team to be responsible for logistics and maintenance. ”

After speaking, I called a few responsible persons for a short time and told them how to carry out air-ground integration operations.

Renault wanted to practice his hands and let the flying team, escort team, and teaching team see blood. The so-called teaching team is the orphan team. The Flying Brigade and the Defense Force, both veterans who have seen blood, are out to adapt to new ways of fighting.

After arranging the camp, everyone rode fast horses, and the plane took off and set off for the Liuyun Pirate camp three hundred and fifty miles away. This time, it was one man and two horses, riding lightly and quickly, and it only took one day and night to reach the vicinity of the Liuyun Bandit camp.

This distance was calculated by Renault, monitored by the God of Wealth, and if there were sand thieves near the camp, the light horse could return to the rescue before they reached the convoy camp.

The temporary camp that Renault chose was eighty miles away from the Liuyun Thieves, which was a relatively safe distance. Generally speaking, the horses released from the camp are at most thirty miles, and those released fifty miles are very cautious, and it is not necessary to go any further.

Only when the army is marching and fighting, will the scouts be released farther, and when the large army is fighting, it will be possible to release the scouts for a hundred miles.

"Tomorrow morning, the escort team and the teaching team will set off first, led by Li Si, and arrive here to rest for an hour, Li Si should pay attention to the other party's scouts and not be discovered by them. Renault marked the location on the map.

"After the escort and training teams have rested, the flying group, with the squadron as a unit, will carry out three rounds of bombing. The first squadron is in charge of the field, pay attention to whether the opponent has large crossbow arrows such as bed crossbows, if there are, you can choose to bomb at high altitudes, and the flight altitude should be more than 100 meters, preferably 150 to 200 meters, at this distance, even bed crossbows are difficult to hurt the aircraft. ”

"If you don't have a large bed crossbow, you also have to be careful of the high-grade martial artists of the Liuyun Thieves, the Liuyun Thieves should not have a grandmaster, and the nine-rank martial artists must have. Weapons for bombing, the craftsmen will prepare them for you in a moment and teach you how to use them. ”

"The bombing should not take less than a quarter of an hour, and the bombing should be as accurate as possible. In a quarter of an hour, Song Zhe's second squadron will take over, and you will return to reload and prepare for the next round of attacks. Then there is Gong Churui's third squadron, and the three squadrons are constantly rotating, and they have been bombarding the convection cloud bandit camp, do you understand?"

"What is the bombing?" Song Zhe raised his hand and asked, during this time, he had seen a lot of teaching team classes, and knew that he had raised his hand before asking questions.

"The artisans will tell you. ”

"Next up are the escort team and the teaching team, each divided into two groups, and the escort team is responsible for the safety of the teaching team, and in the case of safety, let the little ones see the blood. If there are too many Drift Cloud Pirates, choose defense and wait for air support. ”

After listening to Renault's battle plan, everyone somewhat understood, Mr. has a secret weapon, which can attack the Flowing Cloud Thieves from the air, and when the Flowing Cloud Thieves are scattered, the escort team and the teaching team will take action, so as to fight more and less, and let the little ones kill in blood while ensuring their own safety.

It is impossible for the Liuyun Thief to have a grandmaster, with Li Si here, as long as the distance is not too far, and there is danger, it can be dealt with in time.

Renault's battle plan is quite conservative, it doesn't matter if he can destroy the Liuyun Thief, the point is that he can't die, it's okay to get a little injured, if it's a dead person, Renault is looking for trouble with Li Si, you are a grandmaster, you can't even handle the sand thief, what use do you want?

When it was not dawn, the escort and teaching teams set off, and Renault, through the God of Wealth, saw that they were already in position, rested, gave the order to attack, and the fighters took off.

Last night, the pilot studied for an hour and finally learned what the weapon looked like.

It's about the same as what they usually train, it's boxy, it's similar in size, and even the weight is about the same. The difference is that the thing needs to be ignited before it can be thrown down, and the height of the plane is different, and the length of the fuse needs to be temporarily shortened.

There are four types of lengths, two hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters, one hundred meters, and fifty meters. There are four sections of the fuse, one of which represents 50 meters.

The length of the fuse, which was experimented with hundreds of times by craftsmen, yielded the best results, with an error of no more than five meters, is already remarkable.

The explosives package is divided into 10 catties and 50 catties, and in addition to black powder, there are also a large amount of iron sand and iron nails to increase the lethality.

With a wave of Renault's hand, Tian Ye took the 1st Flying Squadron into the air.
