Chapter 594: The Disappearing Target
The change and rapid warming of the relationship between Sun Poyun and Aliya made everyone who was still chatting on the side dumbfounded.
Although there is more physical and eye contact between the two of them, which one of them is not from the past? At a glance, you can see the change in the attitude of the two people towards each other.
This is really a bit unexpected for everyone, one is a princess who has escaped without permission, and the other is a bounty hunter who wants to catch her back to receive a bounty, and anyone who drinks too much never dreams that the two of them will spark.
Things in this world are often like this, many things can't be judged with ordinary thinking, just like some people say, you can't stop it when love comes, and you can't stay when love leaves.
Although everyone was more or less confused, they all sent their blessed eyes.
Although Shao Xi didn't want to disturb the sweetness of the two of them at this time, he had just gone through a fight, and some things always had to be discussed with Sun Poyun.
So Shao Xi walked over and sat next to Sun Poyun, and Aliya twisted her body aside with a shy face.
Shao Xi turned Sun Poyun with his elbow, and deliberately teased: "The relationship is all over this, you are still locking other people's feet, are you really afraid that she will run away?" ”
A sentence woke up the person in the dream, Sun Poyun only reacted at this time, there was still a chain hanging on Aliya's feet! He quickly took out the key from his bosom and untied the chains on Arria's feet.
Alia rubbed her ankles and glared at Sun Poyun gently, which seemed to mean, "I'll settle accounts with you when I get back." ”
Shao Xi saw all this in his eyes, and secretly blessed them in his heart.
patted Sun Poyun on the shoulder and said, "How is it?" I told you before that a person who has a home and a person who cares about him will feel that he is truly alive, and now you should understand what a sweet burden is, right? ”
Sun Poyun didn't know how to answer Shao Xi for a while, so he just nodded silently.
It seems that he has a lot of words in his heart today, but he doesn't know how to say them, and this sudden happiness actually makes him feel a little dizzy.
After Shao Xi chatted with Sun Poyun for a few words, he returned to the topic.
"Brother Sun, your martial arts realm is also above the fifth grade, even if it is to protect Princess Alia and the child behind you, it is said that you will not be easily injured, but you are concerned about it, because the princess is in danger and distracted?"
Sun Poyun shook his head again, and said to Shao Xi very cautiously: "It's not entirely because of distraction, these people today, especially the people who went around to us to attack Alia, are obviously higher in martial arts than those in the past few days.
"They should have sent more people, or where did they find helpers, the two people who hurt me are also above the fifth grade, it seems that they are bound to get Alia, I don't know if they have any other back-ups?"
Hearing this, Shao Xi thought about it with his thumb on his chin, indeed as Sun Poyun said, when he fought with the other party today, Shao Xi also felt that the strength of these people who came this time was much higher than that of the group of people a few days ago.
If it is really like what Sun Poyun said, this time they all dispatched five-rank martial artists, after this failure, I don't know who will be sent next time?
Although Shao Xi himself was already a seventh-rank master of the "Transformation Qi Realm", if the other party really sent a group of sixth-grade martial artists to come, Shao Xi would also feel a little headache.
These people never attack head-on, they always adopt the strategy of sneak attack, the enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, it is not easy to guard against it.
If you encounter a group of six-rank martial artists, you will inevitably take care of one or the other.
At present, it will take at least two days to reach Wuhai Kingdom, and now the trip has been delayed, if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that it will change for a long time, and in any case, we must rush to the territory of Wuhai Country within two days.
Leaving the White Night Country as soon as possible will be relatively safer, after these two battles, the caravan's guards have been damaged more than half, if you come to this one or two more battles, I am afraid that there will be more manpower, so I still have to leave as soon as possible.
So Shao Xi beckoned Sun Lichang and asked him to urge the caravan to set off quickly, and strive to leave the border of the White Night Country within two days.
If these people are bold enough to break into Wuhai Country to kidnap the princess of Wuhai Kingdom, I am afraid that this matter will not end well for them at that time.
When Sun Lichang urged the porters and guards to pack up quickly, Sun Poyun asked Shao Xi with a worried face: "Young Master Shao, according to you, when will this group of people attack us next?" ”
Shao Xi thought for a moment, and said indifferently: "If my guess is correct, the next time they attack us will be on the day we are about to leave the White Night Country, and they will choose to do it at dusk. ”
Sun Poyun looked at Shao Xi with some surprise, and couldn't help but ask, "Why is Young Master Shao so sure that they will make a move on the day we are about to leave the White Night Country?" And how can you be sure that they will do it at dusk? ”
Shao Xi raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a mysterious smile.
"If you have any doubts in your mind, put yourself in the other person's shoes and think about what they will do. Their first attack on us was on the night when we were in a hurry to get out of the bandits.
"Why did you choose this time? Because we were in a hurry to travel, it could be said that at night we were sleepy, and suddenly launched a sneak attack while we were asleep at night, and caught us off guard.
"Facts have also proved that we did respond in a hurry that time, and we also lost some manpower."
Sun Poyun felt that Shao Xi had some truth in what he said, so he couldn't help but nodded, and continued to ask, "Then what do you say this time?" ”
Shao Xi smiled slightly and pointed at himself.
"It's not just me who is speculating on what they think, there are smart people among them who are speculating on our thoughts.
"Since the first attack, we have become much more cautious, both on the road and at night, and have taken some precautions against their surprise attacks.
"So they deliberately attacked again after a gap of two days, just to make us relax, and then they chose to do it early in the morning.
"At this time, whether it is the person who has rested or the person who keeps watch, it is the time when the guard is the most lax, and he will think that the night has passed, and it should be safe.
"At this time, they suddenly launched a sneak attack to catch us off guard, but fortunately, I found out in time, and their plan fell through."
Sun Poyun secretly admired Shao Xi's thoughtfulness, and through the other party's actions, he could actually guess the other party's thoughts.
However, he still didn't understand, why Shao Xi was sure that the last time the other party made a move would be on the day they were about to leave the White Night Kingdom?
Shao Xi seemed to see Sun Poyun's doubts, so he continued: "In the next two days, they themselves also need to rest and reformulate their plans to attack, and at the same time, after these two days, let us relax our vigilance again.
"Especially on the day when you are about to leave the White Night Country, everyone will feel that the danger is about to pass, and this time is often the most dangerous.
"The reason why I guess they will choose to do it at dusk is because I have calculated the distance and the time myself, and the day we left the White Night Country should be exactly at dusk.
"And this is the time when we have been on the road for a whole day, when everyone is tired, and our inner relaxation and physical exhaustion will make them feel that this is the best time.
"If I were the leader of this group, I would definitely do it, and from the previous two actions, I am almost certain that their leader must have thought so."
Sun Poyun was a little absorbed when he heard this, and he couldn't imagine that Shao Xi had completely put himself in the other party's position and thought about how to attack his own caravan.
This kind of thing is easy to say, but it is not as simple as imagined to do it.
First of all, you must fully put yourself in the role of the other party, make yourself psychologically recognized as an attacker, and then make a move against the defensive measures you have laid out for the caravan.
Finding a way to target oneself is not something that everyone can do, and people's habitual thinking will often make them look at the situation in front of them only from their own standpoint.
It's like two people playing chess, if you want to predict how the opponent's chess will move, you have to completely stand in the opponent's perspective and analyze how to crack your own layout.
When you find the best way, think about how you can solve it if the other party really does it.
Of course, this is only a shallow game, and the deeper level will once again stand in the other party's perspective to analyze how they will crack, so as to make targeted deployment.
At this time, what you have to think about is not simply how the other party will break your layout, but how the other party will further crack when you take possible ways to crack the other party.
Therefore, ordinary people can't play chess until they can count three or five moves at most, because their minds will become chaotic at this time.
The real sober-minded chess player will simplify the complex, adapt to the situation, and see the moves.
Of course, we also think about possible situations and changes in advance, but more often than not, as a preparation for possibilities.
Deriving unexpected changes in the opponent's changes, breaking the opponent's calculations and deployments, sometimes there are no tricks to win, and muddying the waters is also a clever means.
Sun Poyun is extremely good as a bounty hunter, a ranger, or a swordsman, but if he is a chess player, he is obviously unqualified.
After Shao Xi had already given such a clear hint, he still looked at Shao Xi stupidly, as if he hadn't come up with any feasible countermeasures.
Shao Xi looked at Sun Poyun's expression and was really powerless to complain, and finally shook his head helplessly.
"Don't you understand what I mean? Since I can guess from the other side's standpoint how the other side chooses the timing of the attack, then no matter how much we take precautions, this matter cannot be avoided after all.
"Since we can't avoid them, there's no need to think about how to crack their plans, in that case, we will be led by the nose, and we are always in a passive situation.
"If we want to break their plans, we have to use our own methods, methods that they haven't thought of."
Speaking of which, Sun Poyun still didn't understand what Shao Xi wanted to do, but he admitted that Shao Xi was very reasonable.
On this vast desert, the caravan that was stared at by the other party had nowhere to hide, but what was the solution in Shao Xi's mouth?
Sun Poyun couldn't figure it out even if he wanted to break his head at this time.
Shao Xi didn't expect Sun Poyun to understand now, but just continued to analyze the current situation on his own.
"The next time they encounter them, they know that there is no chance of sneak attack, and they will definitely take the approach of surprise attack to fight us head-on.
"The reason why they dare to do this is that there is no way to carry out another sneak attack, because after all, we are already prepared, and second, because they have a clear goal, they think that if they hold us back, they will have a chance to take Aria away.
"That's what they did today, but they soon found that they couldn't trap all of us at once, because we all worked together and always gave some of them a chance to come back.
"Although you were wounded, you managed to save Alia, so they will further change the method of dividing the army into two ways to divide the army into multiple ways today, dividing and surrounding several of us, so that we cannot cooperate with each other.
"At this time, some of them will break into the caravan and forcibly take Alia away, if this is the case, we will not be able to break through the encirclement and rescue Alia without cooperating with each other."
Sun Poyun was anxious when he heard it.
"According to what you say, more people will come when they do it next time, because we have to trap several of us separately, and these people are obviously not enough today."
"That's right! They will inevitably send more people, and it can even be said that they will come out of the nest, because that is their last chance. ”
"What then? Otherwise, I would have to stay by Alia's side every step of the way, and even if I fought to the death, I wouldn't let them take Alia away. ”
Shao Xi looked at Sun Poyun's anxious and uneasy look and couldn't help laughing.
"You don't have to say it yourself if you don't even want your life for the sake of Alia, but anyone with eyes can see it."
Shao Xi's words made Sun Poyun's face blush, and he shut up and stopped talking.
"As I said before, this is just my guess of what they're most likely to do, and even though I've guessed, it's still a lot of trouble for us to deal with.
"If everyone is around Alia, they will attack the caravan and force us to rescue it, and if we protect the caravan, they will have a chance to attack Alia.
"So we must not passively do what they want, we must disrupt their plans in a way that they did not think of, so that they cannot successfully besiege us alone.
"Even if they separate us, they can't make Alia a clear target for them, and when they lose their target, that's the best time for us to break through."
Sun Poyun turned his head to look at Aliya on the side, and asked with a confused expression, "How can I make them lose their goal?" The whole caravan is just one woman, Alia, and she is the most eye-catching, how to make the other party unable to find her? ”
"Mixed eyes."
