Chapter 815: Mid-Fu
Seeing that he had caught this thunderbird as easily as he had planned, Xiao Di also breathed a sigh of satisfaction, after all, if he wanted to catch an opponent's precious mount in the most heavily defended place of the tribe, even Xiao Di was not very sure, and once he was discovered, he could only escape.
Xiao Di took off the feathers on the top of the Thunderbird's head - this is also the essence of the Thunderbird, and the quality of the vulture wine brewed is also the best, this large amount is estimated to be brewed at least a dozen jars, after taking the feathers, Xiao Di directly pinched off the neck of the Thunderbird, this is the cruelty of war, although this Thunderbird and Xiao Di have no grudges, but Xiao Di must also kill it, it is also good to be able to weaken the enemy's combat power.
After collecting the feathers, Xiao Di quickly set out on the way home, this night he first killed Brown and other traitors, and then took away a thunderbird's feathers in front of the other party's eyes, which was enough to deter the tribe, and it could be regarded as a small favor for General Xiuwu and Captain Han Tao.
With the experience of coming, Xiao Di was even more familiar with the road when he went back, and it didn't take long for him to return to a place not far from the buffer zone between the two camps of the tribe and the alliance, at this time, Xiao Di suddenly felt that there was a strong killing intent not far from the west, this feeling was very subtle, and it was difficult to perceive it if it was not a strong person at Xiao Di's level.
Xiao Di's heart moved, and he immediately quietly touched it in that direction, and he couldn't help but secretly laugh in his heart General Xiuwu, this bastard, he looked like a mess of a decent man, but he was definitely an old fox, so that he unconsciously felt that he owed him a personal favor, but whenever he saw the battle between the tribe and the alliance in the Valley of Thorns, he was embarrassed to ignore it.
Xiao Di quickly found the place where the killing was hidden, and couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw that at least more than two hundred tribal warriors were hiding here, almost all of them were wearing only a few leather clothes, and some even wore only a pair of leather shorts, and they didn't carry any heavy weapons, but they just had a sharp dagger in their mouths and a long crossbow in their hands - Xiao Di knew that this would maximize their agility and not be easily detected by their opponents.
Most of the tribal warriors originally possessed the soul power of various beasts, and in this jungle, whether they were lurking or fighting, they were like fish in water, and the strength of the alliance was the heavy cavalry and the group of magicians, those who needed to be in the open field to exert their combat power, in this jungle wild, it has always been the warriors of the tribe who have the upper hand, which is more obvious in the scout battle between the two sides, and only Han Tao and Xiao Di are extremely alternative killers are a few exceptions.
Xiao Di's heart sank, these two hundred people are all good hands, and they must be uneasy and kind to lurk here early, according to the previous practice, basically a tribal warrior alliance must have more than double the manpower to barely make a draw, and even if these two hundred people fight head-on, they must at least four hundred alliance warriors to match, not to mention that they are still in a state of sneak attack, and the alliance is afraid that even if it is a five-hundred-person brigade, it will suffer a big loss.
Xiao Di knew that he couldn't ignore this matter, whether it was for the favor of General Xiuwu or his natural hatred for the tribe, he quietly bypassed this group of lurking tribal warriors, and continued to touch the front to see who their target was.
At this time, about five hundred meters away from the direction of Xiao Di's advance, a group of tribal warriors were fleeing in embarrassment, some of them were half-orcs, some were mixed-blood trolls, all of them were second-rate troops on the tribe's side, in addition to a small number of regular army combat forces such as ogre wolf cavalry, Xiao Di, who had been fighting the front line here in the Valley of Thorns for three years, could see at a glance that these should be two ordinary-level tribal hundred-person teams, but now less than half of them remained.
And behind the hundred-man team of this tribe is an allied force is pursuing, from the clothing can be seen to be a mixed force of two legions, one of which bears the insignia of the Third Army, all of them are long knife hands, the number is about three hundred, led by a bearded colonel, and the other Xiao Di is too familiar, it is the scout brigade he served before, there are about thirty people, and the leader of the lieutenant colonel Xiao Di also happens to know - the second squadron leader Djokovic.
I only heard the bearded colonel excitedly raising his arms and shouting: "Brothers, rush with Lao Tzu, you must not let these dog mongrels escape, grandma, these tribal pigs are really fast." β
The long knife soldiers under his command were also shouting and chasing forward, and from time to time the group of tribal deserters were caught up, and then they were immediately cut down by several people, and the splashed blood made the surrounding alliance soldiers even more excited, both in combat effectiveness and morale.
The bearded colonel said excitedly after killing a powerful ogre with his own hands: "I said, brother Deyo, these dog mongrels are not as amazing as you say, haven't we overturned them? β
Djokovic was also known for his calmness and comprehensiveness in the entire scout brigade, and he frowned at this time and said: "Lao Zhang, this is a little wrong, the combat effectiveness of these tribal soldiers is too weak, it is said that at least two first-class regular army centuriens must be stationed in such an important place, and the combat effectiveness of these second-rate troops is really too far behind." β
The colonel named Lao Zhang laughed and said: "Deyo, Deyo, you just think too much, think too much, you see that the hundred-man team of these two tribes of pigs has been completely hit by us, and the rest is less than a third, we haven't had such brilliant results for a long time, right? β
Deyo always felt that something was wrong at this time, but he couldn't say it, you said that these guys in the tribe deliberately pretended to be invincible to lure the enemy deeper, but I really can't see it from these guys, no matter morale, formation, expression, or action, it is definitely not something that can be pretended, even if there is an actor acting supergod who can hide from Deyo's eyes, but it is too unreasonable to say that these more than 200 people are actors, not to mention that most of them have died in battle now, and even Deyo himself does not believe that they are still acting.
In addition, the Third Army sang the leading role in the joint operation of the Scout Brigade and the Third Army, and the Scout Brigade only cooperated with them as a guide, so Deyo only brought a squad, and the colonel named Zhang Daring next to him was the commander of the First Regiment of the First Division of the Third Army, and his subordinates were all elites of the Third Armyγ
Therefore, Deyo could only cooperate with Colonel Zhang Daring to continue the pursuit, but he did not shoot with all his strength, but carefully observed the surroundings.
Seeing that the remaining tribal deserters were also killed, Zhang Daring let out a long laugh and was just about to order the total annihilation of the enemy, only to hear a sharp whistle, and after a sharp whistle, countless arrows suddenly flew out of the opposite forest, covering the entire battlefield in an instant.
Deyo was the first to react, and overthrew Zhang Daring next to him to the ground, and at the same time shouted loudly: "All of them, listen to my orders, stop the pursuit, and hide on the spot." β
But it's too late, that's fast, the rain of arrows flying like locusts in the sky has already baptized them everywhere, these archers themselves are all good hands, whether the accuracy or strength of the crossbow arrows is extraordinary, but after two waves of arrow rain, more than 300 people in an elite battalion under Zhang Daring's command fell half, and Deyo's squad also had four or five people injured, Zhang Daring was targeted by at least a few strong opponents at that time, if Deyo hadn't pushed him, I'm afraid it would have been more than lucky, and he was still hit by an arrow in the leg.
The most surprising thing is that this wave of arrows has no intention of helping their own people at all, it is completely indiscriminately covered, and those tribal soldiers who fled to the front are all killed.
At this time, the remaining warriors under Zhang Daring's command also escaped from the range of the opponent's crossbow arrows with the help and cover of the scout team, but the other party obviously would not let go of this hooked fish, and more than two hundred elite warriors of the tribe rushed out of the forest in an instant, all holding crossbow arrows with daggers in their mouths, and quickly pursued them, and the roles of hunter and prey were instantly reversed.
At this time, Colonel Zhang Daring's previous brilliance was all gone, the big black face was full of pain and self-blame, he pulled out the arrow inserted in his leg, and a stream of blood 'brushed' spurted out, but he seemed to feel no pain at all, bowed his head and said to Djokovic: "Brother Djokovic, this is all my fucking fault, I don't listen to your kind words and persuasion, I have to pursue the whole army desperately, the brothers who were killed were ambushed, you kill me, I have no face to see those dead brothers." β
Deyo also blamed himself very much, and hurriedly comforted Zhang Daring and said: "Brother Zhang, don't say that, I can't blame you all this time, it's really that these tribal pigs are too insidious and cruel, and they completely don't care about the lives and deaths of their own people, and now we still have so many brothers waiting for us to give orders, we have to bring them all back alive to say anything else." β
At this time, Zhang Daring suddenly raised his head, opened his bow left and right heavily and slapped himself twice, and said: "Brother Deyo, don't say it, I understand your kindness, but although I, Zhang Daring, am a rough man, but I am still a man, and I must be responsible for the wrong things I do. β
