Chapter Thirty-Nine: Hindsight
Under Horry's reassurance, Fisher finally adjusted. This battle must continue, whether they want to or not, capturing the leader of the raiding group alive has become their last ray of hope. Just like what Horry said, as long as he can capture Captain Cao alive and can't get along in the officialdom, at least he will be able to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life. Moreover, even if those powerful people in the empire want to trouble them, in the hearts of more people in the Rex Empire, they are still heroes! This is just what Captain Cao judged, they have no other way to go at all, as long as they have a little gambling money, they will eventually be pressed with red eyes.
After thinking about it for a long time, Fisher suddenly raised his head and said with an extremely ugly face: "Horry, it was very strange when we were pursued by them just now, they just drove us out of the hilly area and then collected our troops. It stands to reason that in such a situation, if they really have a force that is not inferior to ours, and you have also seen how fierce the guys of those raiding regiments are, how can they just give up the pursuit? Do you think we have been deceived by that bastard?"
"So you feel it too?" Horry was also a little unconscious, he had actually been thinking about this question in his heart, but he didn't say it directly. The pursuit that came and went so fast just now was definitely more than one strange place. As long as you calm down, you can figure it out immediately, but at this time, it's a bit of an afterthought.
First of all, the raiding group showed so many team flags, but Fisher and Horry did not see any fox warriors of the Firefox Legion, nor did they see the lion warriors of the Rhine tribe. If the raiding regiment really had such reinforcements, why didn't they send them to the battlefield to kill the enemy together? Secondly, with the amazing combat effectiveness displayed by the raiding regiment's bandits, they pursued and killed for such a long distance, and as a result, the casualties of the Rex were relatively small. All these signs indicate that the raiding group is simply bluffing, and they have played Fisher and Horry hard.
"This damn bastard is so cunning! Playing us around! What kind of stupid Ace donkey is he? I think he's a lot more cunning than the Fox Foxes. Fisher looked up to the sky and sighed, his words were full of helplessness, and in the end he could only turn into a painless sentence: "The guy in charge of the intelligence system in the empire should bear the unshirkable responsibility for this!"
"Although that is said, but now we have no reinforcements to count on, everything can only be relied on ourselves, you see how we should fight this next battle? I see that the sergeants are now in a state of collapse, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble if this battle continues!" Horry also sighed, confident and arrogant, as if he had been beaten to the point that he had lost his temper now. After a pause, Horry also made a normal mistake and began to shirk his responsibilities, saying, "That damn Kwame Brown, that damn ominous person, I don't know what he's doing in this exile for so long. What about the natives who are pro-Rex Empire? I can't even see half a shadow so far, sooner or later Lao Tzu will have to clean up this guy.
"Since they are bluffing, it means that they are still very weak-minded. They don't keep chasing, and that's the best way to illustrate that. Even the strength we have now is also dominant, as long as we advance steadily and step by step, they may not be able to compete with us. We only need to win the battle to get this disadvantage back!" Fisher has indeed become a gambler, just as Captain Cao thought.
Fisher and Horry worked hard to boost morale, and finally got their men back on their spirits. The previous flying and domineering posture was also swept away, replaced by a frightening step, and every step was like walking on thin ice. Because they had been ambushed the day before, the next day until the sun was in the sky, the two men led their troops into the Moissanite hills again. This time, the two of them carefully arranged the formation, and they were slowly advancing at turtle speed, afraid that the people of the raiding group would suddenly appear again without knowing when. But they were so cautious that they didn't even encounter a single mosquito except for seeing the corpses of the fallen Rex soldiers being spoofed by the hillbillies on the way.
What was the raiding group doing at this time? After these guys made a lot of money overnight, they had already withdrawn directly from the Moisan Hills at the instruction of Commander Cao and set up camp on the open plain on the west side of the hills. After a grand singing and dancing dinner, the scum is still sleeping with their heads covered. Commander Cao expected that these Rex people would not dare to rush forward as swaggering before, so he was not in a hurry at all. Even the encampment of the soldiers of the plundering regiment seemed to be extremely amateurish, and anyone who knew a little about military affairs would only shake their heads and criticize the initiators to the fullest.
A beautiful victory in the Moissanite hills, at this time, it is theoretically necessary to use the residual heat of this battle to cause some trouble for the Rex people. Taking a step back, we should at least respect these enemies who have come from afar, after all, others still retain the strength to fight a battle, so how can we not take them seriously? The conspicuous and continuous high ground on the west side of the Moissanite Hills is a natural barrier. Commander Cao was like a blind man, so he camped several miles in front of this high ground, but ignored this strategically important high ground. This is equivalent to putting up a big banner: "Come on! Come and get us! We're tired of being tired!" "How can anyone lead troops to fight like this?" Any wrong decision on the battlefield may bring irreparable costs, and this has been proven countless times.
Only the people of the raiding group don't care about these things at all, and they do whatever the boss says. The boss said that everyone let go of eating, drinking and having fun, and they would never worry about it. Even the head of the leather sect was so drunk that he was in a mess. If Fisher and Horry had hurried their march, it would have been possible to teach these hangover guys a good lesson.
By the time Fisher and Horry arrived at the western edge of the Moissanous Hills, the sun was already sinking. They finally found out that they were tricked by Captain Cao again. The hillbillies of the raiding regiment have eaten, drunk and had fun, and they are also recuperating. And a large group of them, who had been moving around in fear all day, like a group of clowns marching around like a bunch of frightened birds! After sending men to find out exactly what they had climbed to the heights, the Fisher and the others finally found their target, as far as they could see. The hillbillies' camp was filled with a smoky miasma from a distance, so scattered that even the goblins of the Exiled Realm would be ashamed.
After seeing this, Fisher suddenly laughed up to the sky for no reason, and the Rex warriors around him laughed inexplicably. He laughed twice, and each time he laughed, he would get into a fuss, and even many Rex warriors had privately evaluated Horry's two unprovoked laughs as a laugh of death. If Kwame Brown is an ominous person, can Horry be any better? Now Horry stopped laughing, but Fisher twitched, and these Rex warriors with strong psychological shadows instantly felt like they didn't want to do it.
"General, what are you laughing at?" Horry was also a little puzzled, so he spoke in the spirit of asking without understanding.
"I laugh at the looting group for having no plan, macho man, Gonzalez, Cao Shaozhi. Do these guys really think that they will take advantage of us once, and we will have nothing to do with him?" Fisher almost took Horry's previous words and used them as they were, and said: "Everyone, please see, there is a flat river in front of us, and these guys are only more than a thousand people, and we are ten times as many as them! But they want to show off their might in front of us, and the high ground where we are now is a life for them, and they actually abandon it. Whatever they do, it's right under our noses, that is, their machinations are out of reach. Next, the initiative in the battle is in our hands. These hillbillies who are difficult to get into the hall of elegance really don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and it only takes one battle for me to make them pay a heavy price for their stupidity and arrogance!"
Hearing Fisher say this, the hearts of the Rex people finally felt a lot better. Fisher's analysis is convincing, much more clever than Horry's inexplicable laughter. It is true that these Rex people are quite afraid of the raiding group in their hearts, but they are the elite warriors of the Rex Empire, and after suffering such a big setback, they are naturally holding back the anger in their stomachs, as well as the resentment of seeing the corpses of their companions being abused. If the ten people don't have faith in each other, then they don't have to continue to mix. The Rex people are all in the same hatred, and they can't wait to rush over and fight hard.
"Great! Since these guys who don't know whether to live or die want to leave such a huge flaw for us, should we attack directly now?" Horry was also vigorously gearing up, and the heavy cavalry he brought was lost in half before the official battle began, which also made Horry unhappy all the time. What's more, the equipment of the heavy cavalry who died in battle was also taken away by the people of the plundering regiment, which is a living mountain of gold and silver, if these armaments can be snatched back, after returning home, Hori's guilt will be somewhat less. When people are gone, they can be recruited again, and these equipment are the heart of the empire.
"It's not necessary, we've been on the road all day, but they're waiting for work. If we go to war directly, we will suffer a small loss. Anyway, these guys have already lost the first opportunity, so what are we anxious about? The order is to go down, all the brothers have a good rest, and when everyone has enough spirits, when we have a decisive battle with these hillbillies, we must defeat the enemy in one battle! We must set up a few more sentry posts to ensure that their every move is under our supervision, and even if mosquitoes fly into their tents, we must assign a male and female to me!" Fisher's rich experience on the spot was vividly demonstrated at this time, and a series of orders were issued in an orderly manner, and almost every detail was considered. The current situation can no longer afford them to lose, even the slightest unfavorable factor, Fisher must ensure that it is under control.
"Boss, those guys are finally here, and I'm about to thank the flowers when they're all gone. They are quite smart, they hold the high ground to the death, and they don't attack easily. Tell me, what should we do next?" Sect Leader Pi rubbed his sleepy eyes, and weakly found Head Cao to ask for instructions.
"Look at your virtue, just this amount of alcohol, it is really in vain for our head teacher. Head Cao looked at the head of the Pi sect with disdain, and then said: "Pinch your fingers, even if the rear team led by the two old men is crawling forward, it should be almost there." You go pick up the two old men, as for the Rex people, you don't have to worry about it for now, just let our twelve angry men lead the team to meet them, those guys are already scared, they have to let them taste some sweetness before they can relax. ”
Everyone knows what it means for Captain Cao to let them taste some sweetness, and in order to keep all these Rex people, it's like fishing. Captain Cao does not have the same profound realm as Old Man Bo, and he can catch big fish with a fishing rod without a fishing hook. The indispensable thing is the bait. Sacrifice, this is the bait of Captain Cao. Although his own life is extremely important, Commander Cao has no choice but to make this decision now, all this is just to make the battle easier in the future! Fisher and Horry both want to finish the battle, which is very tacit with Commander Cao, because Commander Cao also thinks so. Both sides of the team feel like hunters, and in the end, it will only be up to them to see who is more clever.
When the head of the Leather Sect was ordered to meet the rear army, the twelve angry men of the raiding regiment also came out with all the horses and horses. At this time, it seems that their reaction is a bit of an afterthought, the Rex people have already established themselves on the high ground, and the raiders are still counterattacking, which is completely risking their lives to pay for tuition.
Fisher and Horry were also in danger, and their command was determined, so that the Rex soldiers formed a defensive formation with three layers inside and three layers outside on the high ground, and mingled with the people of the raiding regiment! This battle was much easier than the previous ambush, and Fisher and Horry easily commanded the soldiers to block the impact of the raiding regiment, and their several attacks failed to rush to the high ground. Perhaps because of the topography of the heights, the men of these raiding regiments did not seem to be as strong as they had been last night...... (To be continued.) )
