Chapter 16 Guerrilla Warfare and Fake Sergeant Majors
If it weren't for Siwei's order to test guerrilla tactics and harassment methods as much as possible, and not to rush to annihilate the enemy, I'm afraid that these 700 Gangga soldiers would have been wiped out.
But in just half a day, they still lost more than 50 people. Even if they can't take revenge, torturing these Gangga people still makes the Hanse soldiers happy, and the new tricks they come up with appear in front of the Gangga soldiers one after another.
Of course, the Ganghe people would not be grateful to the Hanseilles for their innovative achievements, and they would have slowed down for half a day when the journey had only taken two hours, and if it weren't for the fear that Wannibal would have killed them directly, they would have turned around and run away.
Gradually, the sound of water became clear, and the Ganghe soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief as they looked at the endless river flowing in front of them.
The sergeant major, who had just been temporarily replaced, said that when he arrived at the river, he would rest for one night and then cross the river to Longlingji on the other bank.
The previous sergeant major was stoned to death by a large tree, and since an unlucky guy picked up a rabbit and was blown up to death, the sergeant major has let a large group of people surround him as a meat shield at any time.
As a result, as he walked, a large tree on the side of the road suddenly fell, and there happened to be a thick branch facing the side of the road, and coincidentally, the branch happened to hit the sergeant major alone.
The sergeant major originally wanted to dodge, but he was surrounded by soldiers with meat shields protecting him, and he couldn't dodge for a while, and was directly smashed to death on the spot.
The other soldiers quickly dodged the tree that continued to fall to the side because of this buffer.
Now it's a fool who knows that this must be a man-made accident, and for a while everyone is unwilling to move on, the ghost knows what else awaits him in front of him, and now a lot of people have died, maybe the next one is himself.
Suddenly, a soldier jumped out and said in a loud voice to everyone:
"Brothers, we must rush to Longlingji immediately, in this kind of ghost place, I don't know when we will be attacked again, we will be safe when we get to Longlingji, we will be safe with our backs to the big river, we can rest there for a night and then cross the river."
Another soldier protested dissatisfiedly: "We don't want to go forward, we have to retreat, there is only a dead end to go forward, no matter what you think, I will not go forward anyway." ”
The soldier who had just stood up retorted at this time:
"Retreat? Do you know what awaits you when you retreat? Maybe the old man is waiting for you to be a deserter so he can cut off your head and warn the others.
Now that we are outnumbered, why don't the enemies dare to engage us head-on, because they are few and they are afraid. As long as we go together, don't separate, and be careful, we will no longer fall for the tricks of the Hanseilles. By the time we got to the river, we were safe. ”
Most of the soldiers were convinced by his words, and they decided to move on, and elected him as a temporary sergeant major, except for the soldiers and a few others who had begun to protest and insisted on going back.
The temporary sergeant chief sighed:
"I won't stop you if you want to go back, you can go."
Soon the Gangga soldiers, who continued to advance, saw the same person who had been pushing back before, but this time they saw a corpse hanging from a tree.
Needless to say, the people who went back with him probably didn't end well.
Now no one dared to doubt the words of the temporary sergeant chief, and no one dared to take down the corpse and bury it, and if the Hanseille even did something with the corpse, then whoever went would be unlucky.
So the team, which still had more than 600 men, followed the Provisional Sergeant Major and continued to move forward, and soon left the place.
Several Hansei soldiers walked under the tree, looked at the corpses above, and scolded with a smile:
"Are you addicted to acting, still hanging on it, get out of here! We have other tasks to do. ”
Unexpectedly, the corpse on the tree was motionless, and the soldiers shouting under the tree seemed to be talking to the air.
"Hey, you're alright, you can say something! Quick, you guys, go up and get the people down! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the people hanging on the tree burst out laughing, and then asked the people under the tree in a smug tone:
"Well, my corpse looks like it, right?"
"You bastard, just scare Ganghe's dog, and scare your own people, brothers, take him down and clean him up!"
"Okay." The soldiers climbed up the tree, and the man hanging from the tree was about to jump down and escape with the rope hanging from his neck, but one of the soldiers who climbed up first swooped up like a monkey and caught him.
"Oh, don't, I was wrong, don't!"
The soldiers raised their hands and feet, and directly broke the legs of the person who pretended to be a corpse and slammed it into the trunk of the tree.
"Ahh
A scream rang out in the valley, startling a flock of birds, and as a result, the Gangga soldiers who were walking in front also heard the scream.
"Hey, did you hear that?"
"I heard, what's that?"
"I don't know, it's scary."
At this time, the temporary sergeant major, who was walking in front, came over and interrupted their whispering:
"What are you talking about, talking so happily. Isn't it just that someone is screaming, which also scares you, are you also so scared that you want to go back? ”
"No, no." The soldiers replied in unison.
"If not, just shut up and leave, keep an eye on the surroundings, if something happens to you in a while, I don't care about you."
Along the way, the Ganghe soldiers remained silent, and even if someone occasionally exchanged heads, they were scolded by the temporary sergeant major.
The effect of vigilance was significant, except for a few people who fell into various strange traps, most of them followed the temporary sergeant chief to the river unharmed.
Looking at the river in front of them, some soldiers happily rushed over to pick up the water and drank it, and some even took off their sweaty helmets and put them in the water to hold water.
Someone else dipped their feet in the water, and a cool feeling instantly rushed to his brain. But the guy was quickly pulled up.
"You guy, you soaked your stinky feet in it, how can you drink this water?"
The Provisional Sergeant Major looked at them from behind, and did not say anything, except for an imperceptible smile flashing at the corner of his mouth.
Let you make a fuss first, and you'll have a good time tonight.
After a while of amusement, the soldiers of Gangga also got down to business, and the soldiers who carried their tents set up their tents, and the rest of the soldiers set up campfires and cooking stoves with stones on the river beach.
The sun gradually disappeared into the sky, and calm was restored on the stone beach, and the tents were spread on a pile of stones, and it was panicked to sleep on them, but the soldiers who had been tired all day fell asleep quickly, and only a few figures were still talking around the campfire.
They are on the first shift, and they have to change two shifts in the middle of the night, and they can sleep when the next shift changes.
Suddenly, a soldier on night duty sighed, pointed to the mountain next to him, and said:
"Look, there's something on the mountain."
The other soldiers also stopped talking and looked up the hill, only to see that in the moonlight, something seemed to reflect the moonlight halfway up the mountain.
Suddenly, the place they were staring at was no longer a faint reflection, and a strong white light lit up, startling them.
"What's that?" A soldier asked in a trembling voice.
No one answered him, and suddenly several white lights lit up on the mountain, some of them had even reached the foot of the mountain, and some of them were swaying playfully on the mountain.
Of course, the Gangga soldiers below won't find it playful.
"Enemy attack!" A terrible scream pierced the night sky, and everyone rushed out of the tent, and some of them forgot that it was still a stone outside, and rushed out of the tent and fell.
Everyone looked nervous when they saw the white light flickering and moving back and forth on the mountain, and just as they all took out their weapons and prepared for battle, the white light on the mountain suddenly disappeared.
At this time, the temporary sergeant major walked out, looked at the bewildered appearance of everyone, frowned, and said:
"It's okay, go back to sleep."
The soldiers looked back at the hill to make sure there was no white light, and muttered as they walked towards the tent.
The number of soldiers on duty had increased, from six to twenty, sitting around three campfires, and five soldiers patrolling back and forth.
After midnight, the white light did not appear again, and when it was time for the shift change, the soldiers gave their places to the people who had come to take over, yawned and went into the tents.
At this moment, another burst of white light shone on another mountain, and these white lights rushed down the mountain so quickly that those on night could even hear the rustling of the plants on the mountain.
"Enemy attack!" There was another panic, all the soldiers ran out of the tents, this time many people came out directly with weapons, looking at the white light rushing down from the mountain, all of them looked like they were facing a great enemy.
Just as the white light rushed to the foot of the mountain, it went out again, and there was no movement on the mountain.
The soldiers looked around nervously, when someone shouted:
"Look over there!"
A dazzling white light also appeared on another mountain, but it was only a flash. Just as all the soldiers were turning to the mountain, a white light appeared on another mountain.
The white light on several mountains flashed alternately, causing all the Gangga soldiers to be completely sleepy, and all of them stared nervously at those mountains.
The white light went out again, and everyone began to look for the next place where the white light appeared, but this time the white light was completely extinguished and never lit up again.
Just when all the Gangga soldiers thought that the white light was gone, in an instant, a dense row of white light lit up on the road they had come from, illuminating the crowd there.
All the Ganghe soldiers panicked, and they didn't know who shouted in the midst of the chaos:
"The army of Hanseux is here! Everyone, cross the river! ”
At this time, no one thought that the opposite side of the river was the direction to Hanse, how could the main force of Hanse appear behind them, and when they heard this shout, they all rushed to the river.
Everyone was afraid that they would run slowly and be swallowed by the white light from behind, so they all rushed towards the river in the night.
In the night, no one paid attention to how deep the river was, and many soldiers found that they could not step on the bottom of the river when they got out of the water, but it was too late, and the people behind were still rushing into the river, and they had no way back.
Fearing that the enemy would attack at night, everyone wore armor to protect themselves on land, but at this time, it became a talisman for the soldiers of Ganghe.
Soon the Ganghe soldiers, who were powerless to pounce, sank into the water, leaving only a pile of foam on the water.
There were constant cries of falling water, but the night was so chaotic that no one listened to what they were shouting, and continued to push the people in front of them into the water, and jumped down with them.
In just a minute or two, these stupid Ganghe soldiers were all water ghosts, leaving only a few people wearing Ganghe soldiers' armor shouting loudly in the camped place:
"Run, cross the river, the Hanseille have been killed, and if you run slowly, you will die."
Siwei walked over and patted the man on the shoulder, and scolded with a smile:
"Don't shout, the Ganghe people have gone down to the river to feed the fish."
The soldier laughed twice, and the moonlight shone on his face, illuminating his appearance, and it turned out to be the "Ganghe soldier" who stood up to be the temporary sergeant major today.
He saluted Si Wei and said:
"Report to the general, the guerrilla tactics test was very successful, and all the Ganghe people were annihilated."
"That's not all, you're lying about the military." Another soldier walked over and reported to Swei. "We rescued a few Ganghe people from the water who hadn't drowned yet."
Si Wei nodded: "Let the brothers take the captives to the interrogation room so that they can be served." The guerrilla tactics of the Zhang Yuan brothers seem to be indeed feasible, no, not only feasible, but simply very useful, this time we can't let that old guy of Vanibal live in peace. ”
The two soldiers followed a few times, and then arranged according to Siwei's instructions.
At this moment, a group of soldiers came from the place where the white light had just been lit, and they all carried spears and talked and laughed.
"I used to use the flash sword for lighting at night, and I never thought that it could be used to scare the enemy, but today I learned a hand."
"Hahaha, what is this, I caught a rabbit today, stuffed a bunch of miscellaneous magic into it, and originally wanted to throw it on those Ganghe people, but it ended up getting close and fell into the grass, but I didn't expect Ganghe people to pick up the rabbit."
"You kid have a lot of ideas, and the unlucky ghost who was killed by a tree today is also your masterpiece. Laugh at me, who told that tree to stick out with only one branch? ”
"Hahaha." Everyone laughed.
Si Wei showed a smug smile, hearing that his father was going to come to Hansel in person, and he finally had some good results.
Of course, these results were still some time away, and Siwei looked into the distance, which was the direction of Saimen Gorge.
Come on, Vannibal, I'll wait.
