Chapter 25: Prairie Run
When Meng Qingxiao's order was issued, many soldiers said goodbye to their mounts one by one, and both sides were full of reluctance.
But there is no way, the next thing is a life-and-death fight, they can't protect their mounts, and their mounts can't protect them, rather than delaying each other and finally harming each other, it's better to separate as soon as possible, looking forward to seeing each other again in the future.
Most of the fighters knew the speed of their mounts, and those who didn't know needed to test them themselves, and Meng Qingxiao only gave them two hours to assemble.
I don't know which clever person came up with a good idea first.
Let a warrior with a mount speed of 220 kilometers per hour and super long endurance lead the way, and those warriors who do not know the speed of their mount follow him, all those who can catch up with him are qualified, and those who can't catch up with him are not qualified, and immediately abandon their mounts and wait in place.
Behind them, slowly follow the warriors who have confirmed that their mounts can exceed 220 km, and they will pick up those whose mounts are not qualified and continue on their way.
Because of this good idea, it took only 40 minutes for all the fighters of their three divisions to assemble.
After a simple count, it was determined that there were 4,482 warriors with mounts exceeding 220 per hour.
Meng Qingxiao was quite satisfied with this result, he originally thought that it would be good to have 1/3, but it turned out to be more than half.
A large number of wild beasts were abandoned on the grassland, which brought convenience to Meng Qingxiao and them, but also caused great distress to their enemies, making them mistakenly think that there were people near those beasts for a long time.
Meng Qingxiao's snow bear has children, and now he is going to separate from the snow bear, he doesn't want to take the other party's children away, leaving the other party alone on the grassland, so he called out the kitten and the snow bear baby.
Although the little kitten was reluctant to give up, she still decided to say goodbye to the little bear, in this regard, she and Meng Qingxiao's thoughts are the same, she can't bear to break up the mother and son.
Meng Qingxiao guessed that it may be that the mother and child have been separated for a long time, which makes the mother bear think that the bear has the ability to take care of herself, so she wants to make it independent, of course, it may be that the smell of the mother bear has become weaker.
Meng Qingxiao wanted to wait for the female bear to pee, and then let the bear take a bath in its urine, but until the soldiers were assembled, the female bear did not pee, so he had to think that this was providence, and let the bear follow the kitten back to the dimensional space.
Meng Qingxiao also chose to stay in the kangaroo's nursery bag, this time Audrey and Bessemo did not follow, they were more interested in Li Xiaoguo's fire fox, or Audrey was more interested in the fire fox, as for Beximo, no one would consider his feelings, he would not consider it himself.
This is their 7th day on the grassland, and now the time is 11 o'clock at noon, everyone has gathered, Meng Qingxiao asked Bao Tong to take out the food, and ordered the cooking teams of each battalion to hurry up and cook, after eating, they will run in the direction of home, hoping to quickly cross the enemy's blockade line with lightning speed.
According to the previous scout's report, they were already very close to the city of Ulan in the Mongol Khanate, which meant that they had already traveled half the way through the steppe, because the city of Ulan was almost in the middle of the Mong Khanate.
The Mongol Khanate was heavily guarded by the Otherworldly Legion, which can be said to be a dereliction of duty for the two superpowers, the Qianghan State and the Snow Bear State, because the Mongol Khanate itself was not close to the sea, but they allowed the Otherworldly Legion to garrison a large number of troops in the Mongol and Han Kingdoms.
It's a pity that there is no way to call now, otherwise Meng Qingxiao would definitely ask Min Houde fiercely, and ask him how he became the commander-in-chief of the Northern Legion, and why would he allow the Otherworldly Legion to enter the Mongol Khanate with the help of their harbor?
Meng Qingxiao didn't care about the life and death of the people of the Mongol Khanate, he had no time to take care of these, what he cared about was the strategic position of the Mongol Khanate, and many northern nomads wanted to invade the Central Plains from the Mongol Khanate in ancient times.
In ancient times, there were choke points such as the Great Wall and Shanhaiguan that could hold off the enemy, but now, for the firepower of the Otherworldly Legion, these so-called choke points are ridiculous.
In Meng Qingxiao's view, if the Qianghan State and the Snow Bear State could not form a military alliance and form a line along the coast to prevent the enemy from coming from the Pacific Ocean from entering Asia, then their entire Asia would be in danger, but now, these two superpowers are watching this happen.
What is even more unacceptable is that they have not only put Asia in danger, but also made it difficult for them to return home.
Their massive build-up soon alarmed the enemy, and according to the scouts' reports, the enemy had already gathered a large number of armored vehicles and beast legions along the line of Ulan City, waiting for them to come, and it was difficult for them to rush through.
Meng Qingxiao used the little bee to observe the situation from a distance, and couldn't help frowning.
He convened a special meeting and told the crowd: "I can tear a hole with the Kadilina railgun, but I will soon fall into a coma, and the rest of the action will be up to you." ”
"The speed of 220 per hour is still not fast enough, but there is no way, we must protect Bao Tong's kangaroo, I will also lie down in the nursery bag to sleep, and my life and death will be handed over to you."
"Always remember that the enemy will stop us frantically, and they will stop at nothing if they can stop us."
"For us, it's just a trip home, but for them, it's probably a shame if they let us go."
"I don't know if they think so, but if it were me, I wouldn't be able to bear it."
"If I had tens of thousands of soldiers across the prairie, I wouldn't have allowed 10,000 thieves to slip out from under my nose."
Soldiers have the pride of soldiers, and I think it's not just the soldiers of our world.
"I can't imagine what they're going to do to stop us, but I think it's all possible, like mines, pits, traps...... You have to be mentally prepared for what we should do if the enemy uses these things against us? ”
"I can only fulfill my duty of reminder now, and the rest is up to you."
"You guys stay and discuss, I'll go prepare the railgun."
Everyone looked at Meng Qingxiao's back, looked at each other, and no one spoke for a long time.
"Boss, if you have an idea, you can teach us!" Many people wailed in their hearts.
Meng Qingxiao didn't teach them how to do it, and he wasn't going to teach either, because this time, the strategy was useless, and they needed to rely on their own on-the-spot adaptability to solve the crisis.
Because this time, he can't do it halfway, he has to lie down all the way, either lie down to win, or lie down and enter another world.
Instructing his men on how to save him felt rather weird.
Back in the conference room, Min Keyong and Yu Rucheng glanced at each other, and then said in a deep voice: "This is the test of the military commander for us, he hopes that we can cope with this difficulty, he said that he will help us tear a hole, he has done enough, so the rest of the things must be taken by us." ”
Yu Rucheng said unhurriedly: "Yes, if we can't do this thing well, then what else can the military commander expect from us?" ”
Min Keyong continued: "So let's discuss how to deal with this past difficulty. ”
Zhao Xuchen said: "The commander didn't just help us tear a hole, he also figured out the enemy's thoughts. ”
"Trapping horse pits, tripping ropes, and tripping horse fences are not the way the ancients played when dealing with cavalry, but now we have new rat traps and mines." Zhao Xuchen continued.
"If you want to delay the speed of the enemy's mount, it's nothing more than these ways, I don't believe they can make a formation like the one described in the fantasy, or like the science fiction writes, make an energy cover, an energy light curtain or something."
"They may have an energy shield, but they definitely can't make such a big battle of energy shields."
"So what we're going to talk about now is very simple, that is, how to dodge these traps of the enemy, which is a clear plan, although it is not so obvious."
"Deputy Division Commander Zhao is right, the army commander has really put everything on the table for us, the only thing we need to do is to find a way to get through quickly and safely, we don't even need to fight."
Next, they qualitated the combat team in this battle, on the premise of protecting the commander, they will not fight, only run with all their might, if someone is restrained by the enemy's speed, then he can only ask for more blessings, and no one will stop to save him until the large army completely rushes out.
The personnel were grouped into groups, and all the civilians of Etru entered the kangaroo space, and they did not need to participate in this battle, they would have struggled with the low-oxygen environment for a while.
The order of the mounts was also arranged.
The first group is all antelopes, they are in charge of stepping on the traps, and they will be driven forward, so there are no warriors above.
They are not afraid of being discovered by the enemy, and now humans are too small compared to wild beasts, especially in the case of running at high speed, if someone lies on the back of a beast, it is difficult for others to see clearly, and they will also think that there is no one.
The second group consisted of all mounts under 300 km/h, including Bao Tong's kangaroos.
This kangaroo jumps very high, but it still has a certain advantage, as long as it is not unlucky enough to step directly on the trap, it can avoid most of the dangers.
Since you want to protect it, you have to make sure that it doesn't have a chance to step on the trap, so you can sandwich it in the middle.
In the third group, the fastest mounts are the last to act, so that in case the kangaroos are in danger, they can also rescue them in time.
The kangaroo is the most reassuring thing for everyone, because it is so different, other animals are running forward, only it is jumping forward.
Min Ke's ape, Tarzan, will act as the kangaroo's personal bodyguard, and he will do his best to help the kangaroo block all the damage.
Zhao Xuchen also trained Bao Tong in an escape jump based on the cheetah's ability, which Zhao Xuchen called the ladder to the sky.
The so-called ladder is to jump by strength, when the mount in front of you encounters a trap or artillery fire and misses, do not stop, you can quickly jump up, step on the body of the mount in front of you and continue to move forward, as long as the speed is fast enough, you can step on all the dangers under your feet.
His cheetah is really showy, in front of everyone, he stepped on all the mounts on the scene and ran around, never landed, and finally even jumped on the head of Tarzan of the Apes, and Tarzan of the Apes let out a roar, but there was nothing he could do about it, because it was not fast enough to catch the cheetah.
1,000 cannons lined up and aimed at the city of Ulan in front of it, outside the walls of Ulan City, where there happened to be an army of enemy beasts.
The Beast Legion naturally still wants to find the Beast Legion, and Meng Qingxiao's plan is to destroy Ulan City and tear a hole in the group of beasts in front of him.
