Chapter 142: Ambush is useless
When the wolf smoke rose and the north wind blew, the war drums beat and when the three troop transports approached the coastline, the wolf smoke had stretched to the depths of the island. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the edge of the simple beacon on the shore, one corpse lay on the ground, and the other corpse was on top of the wooden beacon, both shot by Dieyu, who rode a dragon vulture to find the other people who lit the beacon.
"This girl doesn't know how to stay alive!"
Zheng Hao muttered, leaving the mouth alive is to let the low-ranking people be executed, so as to complete the rise task one.
When the troop transport ship docked, everyone jumped down one after another, dragged the boat to the beach, and waited for Dieyu to go to reconnoitre.
The enemy didn't know that the dragon vulture could fly at night, and after the wolf smoke ignited in the evening, he urgently dispatched troops, but he didn't know that the torches they lit were clearly seen by Butterfly.
Butterfly did not attack rashly this time, but urgently returned to inform the enemy's movements.
In the middle of the night, more than 1,000 troops had been assembled and marched to the sea, trying to defeat the enemy in one go.
Zheng Hao already knew the approximate number of enemies, and his brows furrowed.
The number of enemies is a bit too much, and the ability to adapt is very fast, and it seems that they have been prepared for it, knowing that they will come from this direction.
They should have lost a lot during the gladiatorial week, and maybe they didn't have many masters.
Zheng Hao pondered carefully, but even if there were no masters, such a large number would not be easy to deal with, but why didn't they defend the city?
There are few people who bully us, and the terrain is unfamiliar, right?
He guessed the real reason, that the party was not coming to fight on the beach, but to ambush in a dangerous place leading to the village, extinguishing all the torches and hiding on the way.
But they didn't know that Dieyu had already gone out of the map of that area, and Zheng Hao and the others waited in the forest near the sea until dawn and did not see the enemy coming, so they sent Dieyu to reconnoiter again.
The enemy knew that there were air cavalry in the earthlings' camp, and they were well hidden, and even Butterfly couldn't find them, but they found an empty village.
Zheng Hao and the others did not come just for an empty village, but to lead many subordinate soldiers to complete the task of rising and fighting, he didn't expect that there were so many enemies, and they all regretted that they had fewer people.
Butterfly returned to tell the enemy, and as soon as they heard that the enemy had disappeared, the people immediately began to study the map. It is impossible for so many people to disappear out of thin air, there is definitely a reason, where to hide.
"Here!"
Zheng Hao pointed to a small piece of hilly area on the map with his hand, although there were not many peaks, they were all steep, and a not very long canyon was the only way to reach that village, and it was also the only place that could be defended.
"I'll scout again, and I'll find these rats!" Butterfly automatically petitioned.
Zheng Hao waved his hand, "No, they have set up traps, we don't need to drill them." Get on the boat and go around. Go to the village first and see who's in a hurry. ”
The experts laughed as soon as they gave the order, the other party wanted to set a trap with natural danger, but it was useless, this is an island, and you can go around the coast in another direction.
The troop carrier was pushed back into the sea, and everyone got on board to adjust the sails, shook the paddle vigorously and left, and began to circle along the coastline.
At a distance along the coastline, there were simple beacons made of wood, some of which were even built on large trees, but now they were all empty, and they went to join the large army overnight.
This made it impossible for the enemies of Rich Island to know the dynamics of Zheng Hao's people, and it was their turn to be confused, and they couldn't wait for a long time in the evening, so they had to send scouts to carefully approach the coastline, and wait for the scouts to return, only to know that all the enemies who came to the island were missing!
At this moment, Zheng Hao and the others had gone ashore again, and dragged the troop transport boat ashore and buried it, and the team advanced in the middle of the night, heading straight for the enemy village.
This direction was a little farther away from the village, but everyone didn't care, and hurried away under the starlight, and Butterfly rode the dragon vulture to investigate the situation.
"Ah......h
Suddenly, a scream came, and it was a cavalryman who was leading the way in front of him, and suddenly his men and horses fell into a large pit dug in the ground.
The screaming cavalry was fine, but the war horse was miserable, and there were many pointed wooden sticks erected at the bottom of the trap, which immediately pierced the stomach of the war horse, and the war horse neighed, and it was not dead for a while.
People hurriedly pulled up the cavalry with a pale face, and ended the pain of the war horse, Zheng Hao looked at the dead horse at the bottom of the pit, and said gloomily.
"Everyone be careful, try not to scatter too much, watch out for traps. ”
Everyone immediately lined up in a vertical line, not daring to disperse any further, Song Dazhuang jumped off the skeleton horse and drove it forward to explore the way, walking in an area with an open field of vision and relatively few weeds, to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.
This would be slow, but it would be safe, and the skeleton horse would have fallen into the trap twice, but it was clothed in chain mail and bones, and it was not afraid of sharpened sticks, but it needed to be dragged out with great effort.
There are also some other kinds of traps that have been discovered, and there are still some monsters appearing, and it seems that the enemies of Rich Island have really worked hard to defend the village.
Above the sides of the valley in the hilly terrain, a thin layer of gravel and earth covered the planks, under which a large number of hostile combatants hid in the trenches below, sleepless and restless.
"Something is wrong, do they see that we have set up an ambush here?"
"I think it's about the same, it can't be a detour, right?"
The hostile exhibitors in the trenches were full of discussions, and several leaders discussed and sent more than a dozen scouts to expand the search area, but when it was almost dawn, they still found nothing, and they couldn't help but return to the village.
When they lifted the planks and came out of the trench and assembled their ranks, they were stunned when they saw a puff of black smoke rising from the direction of the village.
This time it was a dumping nest, no one was left in the village, and now there was only one possibility of black smoke, that is, it had been occupied by the enemy.
But people didn't get the prompt, which means that they are waiting to fight back, and lighting the wolf smoke is a demonstration, telling them not to rub in, and to go back quickly.
Indeed, the wolf smoke was placed on the roof of the village hall by Zheng Hao, and people were strictly forbidden to enter the village hall to occupy it, just for the enemy to come back and recapture the village, so that everyone who came to fight could complete the rise task one and the conquest mission one in one fell swoop.
Next, it depends on whether the other party dares to come to the battle, in order not to hit their morale, they are not even sending Butterfly Language.
"Are you sure they're three hundred?"
In the direction of the enemy, an old man asked a pikeman, who quickly replied in the affirmative.
"That's right, there were three troop transports, and if I hadn't run fast, I would have been shot by the opposing air cavalry. ”
Immediately, someone shouted, "Isn't it just 300 people, if they had listened to me and defended the city, they would not have been able to enter the village." Now we are difficult to ride a tiger, and the defense of the city has become a siege. ”
"I'm not afraid of attacking the city, now they have become turtles in the urn, there are so many of us, we can trap them if we are sleepy. ”
"That's it, what are you afraid of, just go back and kill them all. ”
They shouted angrily, and the large number of people gave them enough confidence. If they didn't, they might have occupied the village and forced them to retake it in seven days, and several leaders made up their minds and began to return with their troops.
