Chapter 223: Carrying out the task
Night soon fell.
And Su Xiu and his party had already made preparations in an inconspicuous corner of the Great Wall, and at the moment when night completely fell, everyone rode horses and left the Great Wall.
According to the information given by the watchtower soldiers, the group soon came to the vicinity of a hill.
If nothing else, those barbarians should be around here.
It's just that everyone is riding horses, and the movement is too loud, and it is impossible for everyone to go there together.
"Longleg Seven."
"You go check it out."
Lao Bai said.
"Hmm."
Longleg dismounted and walked not far away.
After a stick of incense, Long Legs Seven returned.
"How?"
Su Xiu asked.
"There were more than a hundred barbarians, and they were transporting catapults and siege engines."
Long Leg Seven gasped.
"Sure enough."
Hearing the reply of the long-legged seven, everyone showed a look that was really like this.
These barbarians look rude and not very intelligent.
But that doesn't mean they're stupid.
They also know that if they have some right tools, it will be much easier for them to attack, and they will die a lot less.
"While it's dark and the night is dark, we might as well just get rid of them."
Hades rolled up his sleeves, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
The rest of the people also nodded their heads, all looking eager to try.
"Nope."
Lao Bai shook his head and said.
"These more than 100 barbarians should only be part of the force they have arranged this time."
"With the strength of our people, we can indeed kill them all."
"But what if we kill them?"
"Since they have prepared for the attack this time, they must have prepared a lot of spare siege vehicles and catapults."
"Once we've killed them, we've destroyed them, and it's estimated that they'll soon be able to bring in new siege engines and catapults."
Lao Bai continued.
"Lao Bai, do you mean, let's write down the location of these tools first, and wait until the day before they are ready to attack, we will lead people to destroy these tools one by one."
Su Xiu said.
"Yes, it's smart!"
Lao Bai glanced at Su Xiu with appreciation.
After hearing Su Xiu's words, the king of Hades and the others nodded one after another, and they instantly understood why Lao Bai didn't let them destroy these catapults and siege engines.
"Let's go to the next place."
"The watchtower of our Great Wall has been destroyed by these barbarians, so we can only rely on our people to explore it with manpower."
Lao Bai said.
In the next ten days, Su Xiu and the others quietly came to the storage points of these siege vehicles and catapults like ghosts, and wrote them down on the map one by one.
In these ten days, they recorded a total of 53 storage sites.
It almost turned the hills around their Great Wall upside down.
This night, the crowd hid in a deserted place, analyzing their harvest of these days.
"There are fifty-three storage points, and there are more than 5,000 barbarians guarding them alone."
Su Xiu said with emotion.
"Looks like these brutes want to get serious about us."
The madman said.
"This is still the barbarians guarding the weapons, and when the large army of barbarians comes, I'm afraid the number will increase by several orders of magnitude."
Lao Bai said.
"It's getting late, we should go back too."
"There are only two short days left before they launch their attack."
"When we rushed back, we asked Captain Pan for some troops to destroy all these siege engines and catapults."
"At that time, even if they want to attack our Great Wall, it is estimated that their combat power will be greatly reduced."
Lao Bai said.
Taking advantage of the night, everyone returned to Pan Duwei's residence from an inconspicuous corner of the Great Wall.
Pan Duwei heard the sound of Lao Bai and the others coming back, and hurriedly walked out of the house.
"You've worked hard, go to my house."
Pan Duwei hurriedly asked people to arrange to pour good wine for Lao Bai and the others, and put it in a bowl.
"Pan Duwei, our previous guess is indeed correct, those barbarians are indeed in the hills near our Great Wall, with some powerful siege vehicles and catapults."
Lao Bai said.
Lao Bai said, and took a map to Pan Duwei.
"Every point marked here has siege engines and catapults, and in each point, there are at least a hundred well-armed barbarians guarding it."
Lao Bai said.
After Pan Duwei took the map, he glanced at the contents on the map, and his face suddenly changed.
"These brutes seem to be well prepared."
"There are so many siege engines and catapults prepared."
"If there are so many siege weapons, it will definitely be a great disadvantage for us to launch an attack on our Great Wall at that time."
Pan Duwei said.
"You take a short rest, rest until tomorrow night, and I will gather a man and horse for you, and you will take these men and horses to attack the siege weapons guarded by these barbarians at night."
"These siege weapons must not be allowed to fall on the territory of our Great Wall."
Pan Duwei said with a stern expression.
"Yes!"
The people also knew the importance of this, saluted, and then left to rest.
On this day, everyone didn't train much, after all, they had just finished a mission, and another mission came immediately.
"The day of the big war is getting closer, and the day of my month is getting closer."
Su Xiu muttered to himself.
He only hoped now that the day of the barbarian attack would come soon.
The tasks I have carried out recently have not been painful, and I have not encountered many barbarians.
Experience gained, that's it.
The next night.
Su Xiu and the others were called to a military camp by Pan Duwei.
In front of Captain Pan, there were already hundreds of powerful and extraordinary soldiers waiting.
Obviously, these soldiers were the men and horses that Captain Pan Du had prepared for them.
"That's good."
Su Xiu glanced at the soldiers and nodded with satisfaction.
"These soldiers were carefully selected by me from among our Great Wall Guards, and each soldier is a figure who can take charge of himself."
"I order you to stay up all night, and each of you will lead dozens of soldiers to destroy the barbarians where they store their weapons one by one."
Pan Duwei said.
"Does it also include letting Xiao Su lead the team alone?"
Hades was surprised.
"What, don't you worry about Xiao Su?"
Pan Duwei raised his eyebrows and said.
"Not really, I'm just a little emotional."
"Not long after Xiao Su joined the Great Wall Guards, he was able to lead the team."
Hades laughed.
"Hehe, Xiao Su's ability to join the night is already a manifestation of ability."
Pan Duwei smiled.
Su Xiu also smiled.
After all, he had only recently joined the Great Wall Guards.
Pan Duwei asked him to lead a team composed of the elite of the Great Wall Guardian Army, which flattered him a little.
