6. The Decisive Battle of the Wild Sands Chapter 323 Compete for the first merit
The pitch-black hood suddenly appeared in the tent, and the indifferent face of Bu smiled looked around at everyone present. His eyes were deep, and he simply said, "The Lost Leaf and the Demon Devouring Beast are all from Akira. ”
In just one sentence, whether it was Lydia, the young man, Dennis, or Nabino, they all instantly felt a cheerful face in front of them, as if all the fog had been blown away.
Nick high-fived, "That's right! The Lost Leaf was one of the medicines that relieved the pain of the Wild Sand Emperor at the earliest, so these things came from the Wild Sand Royal Family. Behind the scenes, Hamid and Akira are playing tricks. ”
Lydia thought that if she drove the eighteen tribes back to the Seed Desert, she would not have to fight anymore, but at this time she could only sigh: "It seems that if we don't catch these two guys, we won't have a good life." ”
Bu Laugh asked people to take the map and spread it in the middle, and the young man immediately rubbed out a ball of mud and pinched a few clay figures. Bu Xiao pointed to the three routes on the map, "There are three routes for the eighteen tribes to retreat to the Seed Mang Desert. ”
Lydia already understood what he meant, "There are three fortresses they have set up on these three roads, namely: Sunset Moon Fortress, Huima Fortress, and Dragon Cavity Fortress. All three positions are easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”
She stared into the gazes of several generals and continued to explain: "The Fortress of the Setting Moon is located in the western part of the Seed Desert, the terrain is steep, the walls are solid and high, and the defense is strong. The Dragon's Cavity Fortress is located to the southeast and is surrounded by a vast desert. As for the Huima Fortress, it is hidden in the depths of the northern desert, and the terrain is complex and tortuous, which is a serious challenge for the large army. ”
The young man crossed his arms and muttered, "These three fortresses are far away, if you want to take them, I'm afraid you will have to divide your troops into three ways and attack together." ”
Nick touched his beard, "I take 3,000 people, and I can wipe them out." ”
The young man also smiled and raised his face, "Then I will also take three thousand people and destroy all the way." ”
Nabino and Dennis's competitiveness was also provoked, and the two stood up and saluted Lydia, "Please allow us to bring our people into battle, and we can win all the way." ”
Lydia didn't expect Nabino and Dennis to be willing to fight, and laughed at herself, "You have robbed you of all three paths, so wouldn't I seem a little redundant." ”
In the event of a decision, the eyes of several people converged on the unsmiling faces, waiting for the master of the strategy to give some judgment.
Not smiling and expressionless, "You guys...... Let's draw lots. ”
What kind of rotten idea is this, Lydia's face already shows obvious dissatisfaction. But no matter what kind of expression she faced, she still had to do what she had arranged, so Lydia took a few slips of paper and wrote the names of a few fortresses and put them in the box.
Nick drew a dragon cavity fortress first, and his face was full of smirk, as if he was determined to win.
The young man took a look back at the horse fortress, and when he turned around, he came to Mira to discuss a few words, and immediately became confident.
Dennis glanced at Nabino, but he didn't expect the other party to say, "You are more suitable for this kind of thing." ”
"Oh? Do I look lucky? Denis was so encouraged that he reached out and fished it out of the box.
"No, you just look more like a gambler," Nabino said calmly.
Dennis tried to stabilize his emotions so as not to beat him up. When he took out the lottery and looked at it, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, "I won, Sunset Moon Fortress." ”
The three fortresses were divided up immediately, and Lydia sighed, finally remembering that she was an unlucky physique who couldn't win the lottery. At this moment, she can only admit defeat in the bet, "That's it, let's decide according to the lottery, whoever breaks the fortress first and opens up the road to the seed desert is the first merit." ”
.
As night fell, the barracks rebuilt in the camp of the Eighteen Clans slept peacefully under the starlight, and just as Nabino was about to sleep peacefully, a soldier suddenly came to report that Dennis had a request.
In fact, Dennis's intentions, Nabino has already guessed a few points. So he put on his robe and went to Dennis's tent.
Dennis sat in front of a campfire, seemingly thinking about something. The campfire was almost burning, and the faint light of the fire shone on the shadow of his face and the determination in his eyes.
"Coming?" Hearing footsteps, Dennis turned around and invited Nabino to sit down next to him. After a few polite greetings with each other, Dennis cut to the chase, "Did you see the eyes of those people today?" ”
Nabino said in a deep voice, "We are all generals, and there is nothing strange about that kind of skeptical look. ”
Dennis's eyebrows rose with resolute fighting intent, "It's not strange, but it's really unpleasant." ”
Nabino glanced at him, "What are your plans?" ”
A hint of determination flashed in Dennis's eyes, "To dare to look at us with that kind of look, we must take the first credit and let them see who is the real powerhouse." ”
"That's right." Nabino clenched his fists and said in a resolute voice, "Let them see the power of the tribal warriors!" ”
Dennis nodded, "I have more than 800 people here, what about you?" ”
Nabino said, "In the early thousands. ”
Dennis pursed his lips, "It seems that there are not many soldiers......"
Nabino patted Dennis on the shoulder, "Then rely on your brain to make up for it." ”
"Oh?" Dennis didn't expect Nabino to trust him so much, knowing that although the two of them were leaders before, they hardly had any intersection.
"I'm not going to hide it, I've seen you a lot more recently." Nabino said bluntly, "You have the courage and the strategy, and you will lead this operation." ”
Dennis hesitated for a few seconds and took a deep breath, "Okay, then let's have a good fight." ”
As he spoke, he drew a topographical map of the Sunset Moon Fortress on the sandy ground and threw out his plan: "The Sunset Moon Fortress is located in a canyon, with strong walls and steep mountain walls around it. If it is a strong attack, our 2,000 men will not be enough to fill the gaps. ”
Dennis drew a thin line on the cliff to the west, "I want to divide the troops into two ways, and you lead people to make a feint in the front; I led my soldiers, taking advantage of the night to climb the detour from the mountain wall, and choke the supply line behind the Sunset Moon Fortress. ”
Nabino agreed, "You've got a good brain. If the Sunset Moon Fortress is cut off from supplies, there will inevitably be civil strife in less than half a month. ”
Dennis continued, "You only need to make a feint at the gate of the Fortress of the Setting Moon on weekdays, and when you see the Fortress of the Setting Moon on fire and the gates are wide open, you will rush in with all your might. Our two armies met in the city. ”
"Good!" Nabino stood up excitedly and shook hands with Dennis tightly, "We will use 2,000 men to break the Fortress of the Setting Moon and let them see our courage and wisdom!" ”
.
The next morning, when the first rays of morning light fell on the wave-like layers of dunes, Nabino and Dennis' army had already set off.
Nabino and Dennis rode mighty alpacas and led the way in front. After a few days of eating in the Red Pavilion, the morale of the whole team was greatly boosted, and every step they took was sonorous and powerful, as if they already knew that they had embarked on a journey of victory.
After a long day of marching, at dusk, the outline of the Fortress of the Setting Moon was revealed, a strong fortress made of terrain and rocks in the middle of the desert.
Nabino rode on an alpaca, his gaze firmly looking into the distance, as if he had seen the guards on the wall.
"Let's have a good time." He nodded at Dennis.
Dennis made a triumphant gesture at him, and with a whistle, five hundred elite soldiers immediately gathered behind him. Dressed in black and carrying ropes around their waists, they ran quickly between the steep mountain walls and began to climb upward.
They moved like swift monkeys, hiding their bodies between the crevices of the rocks in the shadow of the setting sun, and quickly crawled towards the back of the Moon Fortress.
Nabino raised his long stick, and the rest of the soldiers shouted in unison as they marched. The loud shouts alarmed the defenders of Sunset Fortress and covered Dennis and his warriors.
From a distance, the defenders of the Sunset Moon Fortress saw Dennis's soldiers marching in order. Their steps were as neat as the drums of war; Their roar shook the sky, and seemed to be louder than a trumpet.
Eight hundred paces away, Nabino raised his hand and signaled for the group to stop.
He raised his long stick, pointed to the front of the Fortress of the Setting Moon, and said to his soldiers heroically: "Warriors, this is our chance to prove ourselves!" Break through this fortress and fight for a better future for our family! ”
The soldiers shouted in unison, and the shouts echoed in the evening wind, so that the ground of the fortress seemed to tremble slightly.
Nabino, facing the afterglow of the setting sun, pointed firmly at the city wall with his long stick, and shouted at the defenders like a god of war, "You fools, do you want to continue to protect the treacherous alliance leader? ”
And on the wall above the fortress, a tall general stood there, his fierce gaze as sharp as a blade.
"Let me see who it is? It turned out to be Nabino, the idiot. He scoffed, "Just you, and so many soldiers, want to attack the Fortress of the Setting Moon?" ”
Nabino sneered, "Red, you cowardly bug. You simply don't understand what faith and courage are! ”
"Hahaha, faith and courage?" A sneer tugged at the corners of Red's mouth, and he cursed unceremoniously, "What use can these nihilistic things be on the battlefield?" You lackeys who have taken refuge in the enemy can only talk about it here. ”
A flash of anger flashed in Nabino's eyes, but he remained calm and replied loudly, "We are a free tribe and will never be manipulated by Isam's lies and Akira's poison. ”
"Freedom?" The guard Red laughed three times in the sky, "You are a bunch of deserters, doomed to be wiped out by us without the protection of the tribe. You think you're going to take the Moonset Fortress with a little fragile determination? Dream on! ”
Nabino pointed unceremoniously at Red and mocked, "Then do you so-called warriors just hide behind the city walls, afraid to face real challenges?" No wonder you are trapped in this desert, an abandoned group of orphans. ”
Red's face turned iron-blue, and he roared, "Fart! You traitor, you dare to laugh at us, I will make you pay! ”
Nabino was unmoved, and he responded coldly: "Then it depends on whether you have the ability to do it." But I think your biggest skill should be to peek at your mom taking a shower. ”
