Chapter 29: The Eve of the Decisive Battle
The skeleton had heard the news that his other group had been ambushed and nearly wiped out the previous night. As expected, the skeleton was also a violent vent.
"Fuck it, Biaozi, that shit. Even if it's two hundred pigs, it's not so simple, they will be killed. What the hell is going on? ”
"Back to the boss. According to the brothers who fled. The Wyvern's people had long known that they were going that way. The village was emptied in advance, posed as villagers, and hid in those houses.
After Brother Biao and the others entered the village, they thought about relaxing. It's careless, and they scatter to find prey. And that's it. Forty or fifty brothers died in one sight. Later, he was caught off guard by the first hand, and another batch died.
And on the Feilong side, all the people who go are masters. There is also the disciple of the flying dragon, the first fast knife. He saw with his own eyes that Brother Biao was taken off his head as soon as he looked at him. That knife technique, it's so fast that I can't see it clearly. ”
"It's that guy again."
The skeleton obviously remembered that Lu Xiao had killed his envoys before. Of course, what he didn't know was that Ding'an actually did it that time. But it doesn't matter, Brother Biao, who knows the truth, is no longer there. No one cares who killed the previous ones. It's okay to put a head crown on Lu Xiao's head.
"Forget it, if you're dead, you're dead, it's a bunch of waste anyway." In the end, the skeleton could only comfort itself in this way. And it's not unreasonable.
There is no doubt that in the entire team, the team led by the skeleton himself is the elite of the entire team.
He asked after a few laps around the map.
"What's up ahead?"
"Back to the big guy, this is a village called Acha. There is water and food in the village, enough for us to resupply. ”
"Pass my word, full speed ahead, we need to get here as soon as possible. Also, send a team of people, travel lightly, and go here to find out the bottom first. ”
Although it is known, it is impossible for a wyvern to use the same trap twice in a row. But I've already suffered a loss, so it's better to be careful.
However, in the evening, the skeleton receives a reply from the spies. Then the skeleton broke the defense again.
"The village in front of us is empty. The point is that the well water there was thrown into the rotting animal carcasses, which were no longer drinkable for a short time. ”
“......”
The skeleton smashed again. He only felt that this 'expedition' had not been smooth from beginning to end. Not to mention the loss of soldiers, now they are almost unable to drink water.
Of course, in Lu Xiao's view, these are all losses without culture.
If you think of this 'expedition' of the skeletons as a march to war. In ancient times, if you want to gather an army and go on an expedition to a goal, how much preparation is needed. Not to mention three or five days, three or five months is about the same.
Do you really think that going out to fight is a group of people getting together and rushing over to get each other a? Dozens of horse bandits in groups do not have this problem. It's because the number of people is small and the speed is fast. Carrying supplies for three days can be carried up and down this 500-mile radius like the wind.
But as the number of people increases, the consumption becomes greater and the travel speed slows down. You know, not every horse bandit who comes to take refuge has a good horse like the skeleton and those elite men. Most of them can only ride pack horses or even camels and the like.
But these livestock are consumed a lot. The point is, the more the trip is slowed down, the more it consumes. It's a vicious circle.
In ancient times, when the great armies went on expeditions, they needed a country to do logistics. He set out with 500 horse bandits, and theoretically had to have the logistical support of at least one small city.
Don't forget that this is the edge of the desert, and it is more difficult to resupply than inland. And these horse bandits are not the same concept as caravans. The caravans were made of camel herds, which were able to carry large quantities of supplies. And people are walking unhurriedly in the desert.
In order to pursue speed and aggressiveness, horse bandits generally ride horses. And the horse is a very precious creature. There are many factors. After only seven days of going out, the skeleton already felt Alexander.
If there are villages along the way, it would be nice to be able to resupply and vent. But Lu Xiao was still making trouble for him in front, and now he had neither supplies nor prey. The skeleton even developed a love for whom, and took his cronies and went back to sleep in his nest.
But this kind of thought can only be thought about. Now he said to give up, not to mention those horse bandits who joined later, even his cronies would not obey him. There was no way, the skeleton could only bite the bullet and move forward.
"Tell the brethren to stop where you are. Take out everything you can eat and let the brothers have enough to eat. Then rest in place for the night. ”
"Boss, it's okay to rest here for the night. We have enough food for the time being. But the village of Acha in front is gone, and we can't resupply. If you want to go to Balikun, I'm afraid it's a little difficult. ”
"It's okay, just calm down and walk slowly. If they didn't have enough to eat, they killed the pack horses and even camels behind them to eat meat. ”
"But ......"
"No, but. It's all a bunch of cheaters. I didn't do it, they were already extra gracious. The brethren must not be allowed to go hungry under any circumstances. As for the water, send a team of people to go back and fetch water back. Go and get back quickly, even if you run the horse to death. ”
"Boss, you're ......"
"Stupid, I haven't seen this yet. The Wyvern made it clear that he wanted us to run out of water and food. When he waited for Barikun like this, he couldn't even lift the knife. How can you fight him to the death?
Therefore, the most important thing now is to make sure that the brothers are well fed and fed. If nothing else, the Wyvern will ambush us in Balikun. We're there to split the battle with him. ”
"The boss is wise."
"Fuck off!!"
..............
"Where's the skeleton man?"
"Go back to the boss, calculate the time, they should have arrived at Aqia Village by now."
"Ah, further on is Balikun."
"That's right, it's less than a day's walk from town."
"That's Barikun. The skeleton dragged the family away for about ten days, and I want to see how many successful husbands they have left. Spread my word, and let the brethren prepare. Early tomorrow morning, we will depart for Balikun. ”
On the other side, Lu Xiao followed Xiang and Zheng and a group of people, and also joined Ding'an. As soon as they met, Ding'an asked.
"Is it possible to kill the Wyvern this time?"
"In the past few months, Ding'an has made rapid progress. Practicing knives with horse bandits has an extraordinary effect. Under the continuous life-and-death struggle, this guy's knife technique is like an open hanging, rising layer by layer. In Lu Xiao's opinion, the current Ding'an is close to the combat power in the movie. ”
"Of course, but we'll have to wait for the wyvern to split the battle between the skeletons. And then we'll fight the rest of the guy. ”
Having said that, Lu Xiao knew that the flying dragon had won. Even without their own troubles along the way, it would be difficult for the skeleton's rabble to win the Wyvern.
"Alright, you guys just rest and get ready. I'm going to go to the city. ”
