Chapter 466 [Half a Month]
The frontal battlefield is in full swing, and the special forces led by He Ping and Wen Fang are also not relaxed, originally He Ping expected that in the case of horseback, it would take about ten days to cross the Songjiang Collar by small road, but in fact, it took half a month to walk along the way before finally approaching their destination, the border of the Songjiang Collar and the Pinghua Collar, that is, the main battlefield of the troops of the Li family and the Qi family, and the camp of the commanders of both sides.
The hardships along the way are indeed difficult to express in words, if you are just in a hurry, in fact, there is nothing, even if you ride a horse, it is very physical, but as long as you are relaxed, crossing the Songjiang Collar is also a trivial matter, but it is obvious that they are not here to travel, although the Li family has transferred all the troops that can be mobilized to the border for defense, but there are still some troops left in various places to maintain order, plus some family private soldiers and the like, the combat effectiveness may be insufficient, but it is also a trouble for the special forces.
And it's not just the troops of the Li family and the other big families of the Songjiang Collar that are troublesome, because the Qi family should have been planning this war for a long time, so I don't know how many Pinghua Collar Fines have mixed into the Songjiang Domain, which is different from the war between Tianhua and Oakland, because the appearance of the two sides is very different, and the language is not comprehensible, so it is difficult to send Meticulous Works, at most, it is just to buy the soldiers who envelop the other party to obtain information like before.
But the Pinghua Collar and the Songjiang Collar are all Tianhua people, there is almost no difference in appearance, and they both speak Tianhua language, even if there is a little difference in accent, ordinary people will not pay attention to it, plus after the Qi family decided to join Auckland. A large number of displaced people have entered other surrounding realms, and among these displaced people, how many of them have been secretly sent by the Qi family. The detailed work of collecting intelligence in each territory is completely impossible to investigate.
It is likely that these fine works retain the means to communicate with the Qi family, if they discover the existence of He Ping and Wen Fang, as well as the existence of special forces, then it is likely that the Qi family has been informed of the news before the special forces arrive at their destination, and the fine works cannot be verified. Therefore the only means is to pass through Matsue without attracting anyone's attention, and the main time. In fact, it was all wasted in the settlement area where the common people were avoided.
Along the way, they ate the most game and wild vegetables and fruits obtained through hunting and gathering, although the seasoning is very complete, and the ingredients can be concocted very delicious. But no matter how delicious the food. At the beginning, He Ping was very interested in the game that could no longer be eaten in the main world, and it was a feast, but in the last few days, he didn't want to see those things at all.
Originally, He Ping still planned to finish this journey with everyone, this was also a workout for him, he didn't think about using the power of the tower in the middle, but the first ten days were okay. In the next few days, He Ping really couldn't hold on. The sight of game made him feel as if his stomach was full, so he had to enter the tower while he was resting, and then take the opportunity to return to the Overworld to eat some normal food.
In addition to these game, He Ping and Wen Fang will occasionally send a few soldiers to nearby towns to buy some normal food and ingredients, although the ingredients bought, the way of concocting is still the same as game, but the gap in taste is big, although the game is delicious, but because the wild animals eat more miscellaneous things, so all kinds of flavors are very heavy, plus there are more opportunities for activities in the wild, so the meat of the game is very coarse, as for wild vegetables, almost every one has a bitter taste, And there are few wild fruits that are not sour.
However, considering that it is necessary not to leave traces in a place where there are people, only a few soldiers can be sent to buy things at a time, so there are generally not many things to buy, and there are few such opportunities, plus in order not to attract the attention of people with intentions, every time a soldier is sent to buy something, different people are needed, but because every time the soldiers who go to buy things can eat in those towns, this errand is very popular, and the Wen side has to send everyone again.
As for the canned food and dry food they carried, they didn't move, not because they were not delicious, or because the taste was not good, and no one ate them, in fact, after modern processing, the dry food and canned food with a lot of food additives added to it were already delicious in the eyes of the soldiers, but because everyone knew that this mission, the difficulty was not to sneak into the Songjiang Collar and cross the Songjiang Collar, but to withdraw from there to the territory of the Qingyang Collar after completing the decapitation operation, so these did not need special processing, What you can eat when you open it, everyone plans to eat it again on the return trip.
After spending half a month like this, everyone finally arrived near the border of the Songjiang Collar and the Pinghua Collar, and there was no loss along the way, at least not for a long time, and although there was a long detour, but there was not much wrongful road, this has to be said to be a miracle, He Ping felt that it seemed a little slow to walk such a little road in half a month, but Wen Fang and other special forces soldiers said that it was definitely not easy to walk such a long road in half a month.
After arriving at the destination, the next action is the plan that has been drawn up a long time, the first is to find the battlefield of both sides, and then find a reliable camp a certain distance away from the battlefield, while recuperating in the camp, reconnoiter the situation of the troops on both sides, find out the commander of the Qi side of the army, and track it, and then after the preparation is completed, look for a suitable opportunity, use an ambush to get it, and finally, retreat immediately.
It's just that this process that should have been simple took a lot of effort, because the battlefield between the two sides was too big, and almost all the border lines of the Songjiang Territory and the Pinghua Territory had become battlefields, although there were only a few important passes among the more intense ones, but they did spread out their troops to a large area, which made it difficult for the special forces to find a camp that was closer to the Qi family's large army, but relatively safe.
And if you deliberately look for a camp that will not be discovered by anyone, then it will be far away, and it will be more troublesome to act, and some people even mentioned whether it is possible to contact the Li family directly and let the special forces hide in the Li family's military camp, so that the Qi family will not be discovered in advance, but it is obvious that this proposal will not be passed, at least He Ping feels that if he is the Li family, he will definitely not let the Wen side live in his own military camp with the troops.
Although the last Wen Fang's thunderous offensive played a big role, making the Li family cut off the idea of going against the Zhao family in an instant, but at the same time, they were no longer willing to cooperate with the Zhao family, the Li family was just mud and couldn't support the wall, plus the narrow vision and careful chest were not broad, so that the Wen side was so noisy, and the Li family lost face, if it was other families, maybe at this time they would pretend to be indifferent and continue to cooperate with the Zhao family, but the Li family will not have any more dealings with the Zhao family for the time being.
Besides, it is not known how many of the Li family's troops have communicated with the Qi family, if a group of people like them suddenly appear in the Li family's barracks, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of other soldiers, even if the soldiers don't know who they are, it is very likely that the matter of their group of people will be spread, if the Qi family knows, even if it is impossible to accurately think of the origin and purpose of these people, they will definitely carry out more strict precautions, and it will definitely be more difficult to carry out the task at that time.
So what to do? The area near the Qi family's large army seems to be not good, even if there is no garrison and battle area for the time being, there are also Qi family's troops to carry out regular patrols, although the members of the special forces can hide themselves well, but as long as they camp there, they will inevitably leave some traces of life, and as long as they find traces, the Qi family will be alert, and Wen Fang has no good ideas for this, and an idea is gradually forming in He Ping's mind.
