Chapter 257: Cleanup Mission
readx;
Before going out to act, the fat man Yan Qiu had already explained to his subordinates in advance. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info They must not be cleaned up too quickly, and it is best to wait until everyone else is almost done before they finish the task. In this way, they will not be noticed, and they will be able to maintain this preferential treatment all the time.
As for the time against the enemy, the main thing is to train the troops, and you can slowly play with those enemies. In this way, on the one hand, you can have a better understanding of the fighting methods of the two barbarian demon clans, and on the other hand, you can let the troops who have never seen blood see more blood, and improve the combat effectiveness of the team.
The order to set off was quickly issued, and Qin Tian and Yan Qiu led the team out of the city behind the other forces. The entire 'Iron Stomach City' is built on a steep mountain peak, so in order to enter and exit the Iron Stomach City, you must pass through a few dangerous mountain paths.
On these dangerous mountain roads, there are several passes, which are the outer defense ring of the 'Iron Stomach City'.
Qin Tian and the others went all the way out of the city from the pass along the mountain road, and the scenery outside the city was good, basically maintaining the original appearance.
The foothills are densely wooded, and the vegetation coverage is certainly not comparable to that of modern society. For Qin Tianhe, Yan Qiu, Li Ze, and Liu Hai, such a view is still very attractive. However, for a group of natives such as Zhong Lique, Li Xian, and Da Niu, such a scene can only be said to be normal, and there is nothing new about it.
Since the cleanup area assigned by Qin Tian and them was not too far from the 'Iron Stomach City', the path to the destination was basically not bad, so that they didn't need to open their own way there. However, these trails are at most the size of sheep intestine trails, and they are only passable.
On the way to the clean-up area, Qin Tian and the others were lucky not to encounter any trouble and successfully reached their destination.
This is an unexplored area, though it is only a few dozen miles away from the Iron Stomach City. However, in such a treacherous environment as the 'Bloody Battle Battlefield', if there is no sufficient need, the garrisons of the major cities will at most ensure the safety of several main roads, and no one will bother to clean up such remote places one by one.
This clean-up operation is purely a plan by Yan Geng, the city lord of 'Iron Stomach City', to eliminate dissidents, although everyone knows it, they are powerless to resist. Therefore, for this operation, many people have the idea of preserving their strength as much as possible, and everyone who can perfunctory the past will definitely not contribute more than half of their efforts.
For this mentality of all forces, in fact, how can Yan Geng not know. However, the environment of the 'Blood Field' itself is very sinister, and the two barbarian demon clans do have the intention of besieging the 'Iron Stomach City', so there must have been a large number of barbarian demon two clan enemy troops outside the city.
In this case, even if you quietly go out to investigate the enemy in the form of an elite squad, there is a possibility that you will not return. Not to mention that as it is now, the large forces are almost pouring out, sweeping from area to area. This situation is only invisible to the blind, so the attacking team is simply a clear target, and it may be difficult to dodge.
Moreover, in order to prevent some forces from cheating against the order, Yan Geng also asked each unit to send a signal in the form of fireworks to the supervisors responsible for confirmation in the form of fireworks. This is simply afraid that the other party will not find his place and deliberately die!
However, Yan Geng originally asked them to go out to clear the nest of the enemy army, and if they really cleaned the other party's nest, they were naturally not afraid of this kind of behavior of actively exposing the target. But if you want to fool the people who get by, then this is really looking for death.
From this point of view, the sinister intentions of this Yan Geng can be seen. As long as the forces of all parties go out to carry out the mission according to his requirements, they don't think that they can withdraw unharmed without fighting.
Everyone naturally knows Yan Geng's thoughts, but it is still the same sentence, if you don't have the strength to resist, you can only admit it.
This is also the reason why the fat man Yanqiu asked the troops to delay as much time as possible, and then release the signal when most of the other forces are almost complete. After all, whoever sends the signal first will not only know to the enemy in this area, but even the enemy in other areas may notice, and it is likely that they will be surrounded by many enemy troops, and it will be difficult to fly with their wings inserted.
When Qin Tian and the others arrived at their destination, many other forces were still slowly moving along the way. That's right, the speed of the march of these forces can only be described as 'moving', because their speed is really turtle speed, almost to the point of turning back in three steps.
The leaders of all the forces have the same mind as Yan Qiu, and want others to share some of the pressure for themselves as much as possible. It is better if everyone else has released a signal, and when the enemy is rushing in the direction of others, they will take advantage of the chaos to release signal flares to complete the mission. Now it's not about who is moving faster, but it's about moving slower than anyone else, and you can hold back.
But there are always some unlucky people who can't hold back even if they want to, because they haven't gone to the enemy, and the enemy has already found them.
When the Liu brothers led the troops to march less than a fifth of the journey, they unexpectedly met a demon squad of about 100 people.
The appearance of the enemy surprised both sides, and when they reacted, a big battle inevitably broke out.
The Liu brothers encountered a team of half-demons, this kind of half-demons are not pure demons, and their strength is comparable to that of ordinary human warriors. It's just that the general people of the demon race are relatively tall, and their height is basically about 1.8*9 meters, and in terms of physical fitness, they have a bit of an advantage over the human race.
If a martial artist with internal strength can deal with five ordinary people, then against a half-demon squad of about 100 people, at least about 1,000 ordinary soldiers are needed to win steadily. So in the face of this situation, Liu Ya immediately ordered a thousand soldiers to rush forward, trying to annihilate this half-demon team.
However, the gap between reality and ideals is very huge, and theoretical things may not necessarily be realized in reality. For example, right now, the speed of those 1,000 soldiers was more than half as good as that of the half-demon squad. Before they could get closer, the people of the half-demon team immediately relied on their speed to widen the distance between them, and through the long-range attacks of arrows, they consumed the strength of the human race little by little.
Seeing this situation, Liu Ya's face couldn't help but froze, and he immediately ordered the second thousand-strong army to rush forward to help. In the face of the absolute numerical superiority of the human race, the demons of the half-demon squad did not panic, they fought and retreated, and they kept hanging Liu's troops by flying kites.
Liu Ya hated this so much that he wanted to personally deal with this half-demon team several times. And the demons of this half-demon squad seem to know that there are masters in the Terran army, so they are very cautious in their actions, and once they find that the Chinese army of the opposite Terran has abnormal movements, they immediately turn around and flee.
In order to prevent this half-demon team from escaping and reporting and attracting more enemies, Liu Ya and Liu Zhi could only bite them tightly and look for an opportunity to wipe them out.
However, the Liu brothers didn't notice that they had been attracted by this half-demon team and gradually deviated from their original course of action. The troops slowly approached a valley, and in the depths of the valley, there seemed to be a large number of creatures moving.
The situation of the Yang, Li, and Zhu troops at this time was the same as that of the Liu brothers, because they had the largest power and a large number of people, they were rated as senior by the city lord Yan Geng when their strength was judged.
If their strength can be evaluated like this by the city lord Yan Geng, then the three real people of Yang, Li, and Zhu will definitely be very happy. But now all three of them wanted to cry, because of this assessment, they were not only asked to be responsible for cleaning up a very large area, but this area was still very far from the 'Iron Stomach City', and they had to pass through several areas where enemy activity had been found on the way.
This result made them pale one by one, and their intestines were almost green with regret. If he had known that the result would be like this, he would not have fought with the Liu clan for power if he had killed them.
But the matter has come to this point, it is useless to think too much, in the face of this almost mortal task, Yang Long, Li Tao, and Zhu Tao discussed for a long time, and then came up with a relatively reliable plan.
They intended to travel as quietly as possible along the way, reaching the areas where enemy activity had been spotted, and then quietly making a detour, anyway, to avoid encountering the enemy on the way as much as possible.
If they can finally reach their destination, then they also want to wait for the others to release the signal first to attract the enemy's attention, and then take advantage of the chaos to release the signal, and then the large army will make a detour and break through the city from the direction where there is no signal.
Although this solution looks very crude, many of the details are still problematic. However, Yang Long and the others couldn't think of any good way, so they could only hope that their luck would not be so bad.
Things are not always going well, and the more you try to get through, the more likely things are to go wrong.
The armies of Yang, Li, and Zhu had not yet gone a third of the way before they ran headlong into a half-demon squad of about 100 people.
After that, things were similar to those of the Liu brothers, but the difference was that when he found out that the people of this half-demon team were using kite flying tactics to deal with them, Yang Long immediately ordered a small force of 2,000 people to drag down this half-demon team. The large army hastened and made sure to stay away from here as fast as possible.
The members of the half-demon team saw that the opposing large army completely ignored their existence and fled in a hurry. This made them very anxious, in fact, when they sent out the Terran troops, they had already quietly sent a signal to the armies of the nearby barbarian demon clans. If the Terran army has been entangled with them, then by the time the reinforcements arrive, the Terran army will not be able to escape the siege of the barbarian demon race.
It's a pity that this Terran force is so shrewd that they left part of the team to round up themselves, while the large army fled.
Yang Long's shrewdness saved their lives, and just about an hour after they left, another half-demon team of 100 people appeared. Fortunately, the Terran side found it in time, and the broken batch of Terran troops also had a scale of 2,000 people, and they still had the strength to fight with these two half-demon squads. Therefore, they were not defeated by the two half-demon squads, but fought and retreated, retreating in the direction of the 'Iron Stomach City'.
This is an agreement between the broken rear team and Yang Long and them, if the enemy needs to be cut off halfway, as long as the broken people can ensure that the large army can escape smoothly, they can either catch up with the large army or retreat to the 'Iron Stomach City' according to different situations.
Of course, Yang Long and the others also knew very well that the possibility of the broken troops catching up was extremely low, and if most people could have a reason to return to the 'Iron Stomach City', they would definitely choose to return to the 'Iron Stomach City' without hesitation. Therefore, Yang Long and the others did not think that these broken troops could come back, they only hoped that they and the others could reach their destination smoothly and complete the task and return to the city safely.
