Chapter 51: Arriving on Time (I)
After a complete defeat, Liu Yu also has a new understanding of this mission. There are many obstacles set up above to consume us and prevent us from easily reaching the assembly area. Otherwise, this time they wouldn't have destroyed only our drinking water, they could have arrested us all, and we wouldn't have to think about the rest of the story.
There are too many resources at their disposal, and if they confront them head-on, it will undoubtedly be to hit a stone with an egg! Only by winning by surprise can they break through their encirclement and blockade of themselves. And their biggest advantage is that with the help of satellites, it is easy to find their location at the first time and effectively avoid them.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu already has a new plan. Let me play a game of cat and mouse with you first, but it's not easy for you to catch me.
"Report to the Generalissimo, Bokan 3rd Special Operations Team has lost its trace, and the scouts we sent out have also been captured by them. In the command center of the 47th District, a young officer in a crisp major uniform, standing straight, reported in a loud voice characteristic of a soldier to the old man in civilian clothes sitting behind his desk.
"Well, these bunnies are kind of funny, they disappeared right under my nose. How did they find out about that idiot? Bring him here, I'm going to ask him personally. The old man, known as the Generalissimo, said in a calm tone, but in the depths of his eyes, there was still a trace of appreciation and curiosity.
"Yes, Generalissimo. The young major gave a scrupulous salute and withdrew.
In a few moments, the major walked in with a soldier still in disguise.
Du Ping, the First Reconnaissance Brigade of Fancheng Fortress, came to report. The soldier in disguise was visibly stunned when he saw the old man sitting in front of him. The major standing beside him touched him lightly before he quickly said loudly.
"Oh yes, I think some idiot called those student soldiers to catch them, but I didn't expect you to be a kid!" the generalissimo got up from his seat and circled around Du Ping several times, "You really gave you a long face for the fortress!"
"Generalissimo, I ......" Du Ping really couldn't say any more. In any case, he is also a battle-hardened veteran, and he is also one of the best scouts in Fancheng Fortress, otherwise how could the generalissimo be familiar with his name? Now he is actually being egged by a bunch of recruits...... No, they can't be considered recruits, they haven't graduated from the army yet!-how embarrassed is he to be caught by such a bunch of people!
"Tell me, how did they get you?" asked the generalissimo, sitting down again, for a moment's time.
"This time the heel is really planted at home!" Du Ping gritted his teeth and said, "They didn't know how to find me, and they directly surrounded me, six hundred people surrounded the inner three floors, the outer three floors, I just can't run away if I want to!"
"Don't you realize that they have discovered you? how can you be so easily surrounded by people?" the generalissimo also sensed that something was wrong. Although he teased Du Ping, he still knows what kind of strength he has. It is not easy for the scouts of the beasts and demons to find him, are these rabbit cubs more powerful than the scouts of the beasts and demons?
"That's because they're so fast, I don't even have time to run, and I'm still wondering how they found me. Du Ping said hatefully, "I followed them ten kilometers behind, and tracked them with the traces they left." And I can be sure that there are absolutely no scouts from the opposing side within a kilometer of me. When I realized that something was wrong and vaguely felt that someone was approaching me in front of me, I began to run back, only to find that they had outflanked me from my left and right, and surrounded me directly in the middle. ”
"How far away were they from you when you spotted them, and in what way were you running back?" the Generalissimo frowned slightly.
"They were supposed to be five kilometres away from me, and when I was about to start running back, I didn't see anyone within a kilometre of me. Then I ran back as fast as I could, and every 100 meters I would look back, and when I looked back the third time, I saw figures on either side, about two kilometers away from me in a straight line. The fourth time I turned back, there was less than a kilometer, and the fifth time I didn't have to look back, they had already circled in front of me. Du Ping said with some bitterness, this defeat was still a big blow to him.
"That means you only ran five hundred meters forward before they caught up from behind!And they had to run at least five kilometers more than you!" said the Generalissimo with some disbelief, "Could it be that you are mistaken, they were ambushed in front of you before?"
"They had to run six or seven kilometres more than me, and by the time I looked back for the third and fourth time, I had memorized the physical features of about 20 or so people and their dresses, all of whom were blocked in front of me. It could be seen from the sound of their heavy breathing and their violently heaving chests that their physical exertion was also very high, and it was obvious that they would not have been ambushed there beforehand. Dupin used what he saw to dismiss the Generalissimo's idea.
"You go down and rest first, and I'll find out about it." After patting Du Pin on the shoulder and comforting him, the Generalissimo let him leave the command center.
It seems that this competition will be more interesting. Bokan's second graders, these little guys are getting more and more interesting, and it's really exciting!
"Pass my order, all the scouts are dispatched, leave the other special forces alone, and be sure to find them for me fifty kilometers away from the designated assembly place in Bokan No. 3! I don't believe that they can still turn over the palm of my hand here!" the generalissimo thought for a moment, and ordered the young major who had been standing there.
At this time, Liu Yu was rushing forward with his team. In order to avoid the other party's pursuit, Liu Yu chose a route that seemed unbelievable to everyone. They now began to turn southwest, crossing the edge of the Luobu Desert, which was even drier than they were now, and then heading northwest straight into District 47, the route Liu Yu had determined based on satellite maps.
Liu Yu had already seen from the feedback from the satellite map that there were no less than 100 small yellow dots wandering around in the vast space to the west, and it seemed that they had to find them.
Fifty kilometers west of that position were two large yellow squares, where heavy troops of the opposing side should have gathered. If they are still stupid to break in, it is undoubtedly self-defeating.
Although it seems to be the most dangerous route to move forward according to the current route, if Liu Yu is not completely sure, how can he choose such a path? Instead of confronting the other party, it is better to find another way and choose a route that the other party cannot think of in any case.
It was twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and there were eight hours left until the final hour. Time is pressing, and there can be no delay for a moment! Liu Yu has already led everyone into the Luobu Desert and headed west as fast as possible. The Robb Desert is the largest desert in the northwest of the Dragon Empire, known as the Sea of the Dead. If you get lost in the Rob Desert, or run out of water, the only thing that awaits you is death!
"Report to the Generalissimo, I have searched all over the radius of a hundred kilometers, and I have found no trace of Bokan's third special combat team. A scout walked into the command center and reported loudly to the Generalissimo, "Ask the Generalissimo to give instructions on what to do next." ”
"There is no trace of them within a radius of 100 kilometers? The movement is quite fast! Could it be that they have noticed something?" the generalissimo kept pacing around the command center, "It's only been two hours, can't they fly? Xuanbao, tell me what you think." ”
"Yes! The young major snapped his heels and straightened his waist.
"I think Bokan 3 is aware of what we're doing, and they've definitely changed course and avoided our search. Major Xuanbao said without thinking.
"What I want to know is how they managed to escape our search in such a short time, and which route they would have chosen to get to the assembly area?" the Generalissimo then asked.
"According to Dupin's report, they have the ability to escape our search for two hours. There is not enough information to draw conclusions about this point yet, and I can only infer that they have learned some kind of exercise that we don't know yet, which has greatly increased the speed at which they are advancing. This point was also emphasized in the battle report just submitted by the Water Ghost Brigade, who were able to cross the Changqing River at a very fast speed while standing on the water with only tree branches, and even stayed in mid-air for a short time. The water ghosts didn't even touch the corners of their clothes, and they were easily thrown away. With that, Xuanbao respectfully handed a battle report to the generalissimo.
"As for which route they will choose......" Xuanbao glanced at the generalissimo who was looking at the battle report intently, and did not say any more immediately.
Feeling that Xuanbao stopped, the generalissimo said without raising his head: "Why did you stop? ”
"Yes, Generalissimo. If I were their commander, I would have chosen to go north across the Evergreen River, follow it all the way west, and then head south to the assembly site. Xuanbao said decisively.
"Oh, why?"
"First of all, their drinking water has been cut off by us, and he must solve this problem. Secondly, since he has captured the scouts we sent to follow him, it means that he has understood our intentions. Finally, with the Evergreen River to the north, it was difficult for us to catch up with him, but he could easily cross the river. To the south is the endless Lobu Desert, where there is nowhere to hide and no water source. There were only two roads before him, either south or north. However, the danger of entering the Sea of Death was too great for anyone to be sure that he would be able to get out of it alive, so I concluded that he would cross the Evergreen River again to the north. Xuanbao said confidently.
"Since you are so confident in your own ideas, I will give you a thousand troops, how about you go and stop them?" The generalissimo did not comment on Xuanbao's judgment, but asked lightly.
"Yes! I will capture all of Bokan's 3rd Special Forces. Xuanbao said with some excitement.
"Well, let's go down. (To be continued.) )
