Chapter 23: The Wolf's Tactics

"How can I help those people?" the princess asked again.

"It's not hard for me to be clear about this, for them, I'm an executioner now, how can there be anything to help them, maybe one day, I need you to help me. However, I think if you go among them, you might know how to help them, and these things are not just words, but should be done. I think this should follow your own heart, not a hot brain, I think I owe people this aspect may not be very good, so you should not take my words to heart. Kong Ming thought for a moment and said.

"Well, let me think about it, I'm going to be with you from this day on, and I'm going to see those who are in the war, and those who are injured in the war, and I want to find the answer that I think. The princess said a word that made Kong Ming happy, because as long as the princess is here, then the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group is equivalent to having two sage bodyguards, more than thirty great sword masters, and twenty-five magic masters, such strength is a powerful group there, why not do it? After the princess finished speaking, she slowly walked to the side, and what made Kong Ming strange was that when the princess was walking, her body was emitting some white light, holy and solemn.

"What's going on? Is it difficult that the princess is a magician of light?" said Kongming in a low voice.

"No, maybe it used to be, but from now on, she's starting to be a spiritual magician. A sage said.

"Spiritual magicians, why haven't I heard of them?"

"Hmph, you only know about fighting and drinking all day long in Huayuan University, how can you pay attention to such things?" This sage is a magician, but I don't know what department he is, and he has never said his name, and Jing Yuan has not introduced them to Kong Ming, but Kong Ming heard some signs from some words, this sage is the protector of the princess's side, and Jing Yuan is indeed a shadow person, but he was entrusted to protect the princess during this period of time in the princess in Chu State.

"Hmm, the Sage knows about me?" asked Kong Ming, puzzled. This is indeed very strange, Kong Ming's role in the university is known to many people, and Jing Yuan has asked Xiang Tiancheng's side to know, these are not strange, but what makes Kong Ming strange is that when this sage said this sentence, the hatred in his tone was not made of steel.

"Hmph, isn't it your teacher, Fire Holy Magister Phyllis Hall, who asked me to take care of you more when I heard that I was inquiring about you?" said the Sage in annoyance.

"Oh, who is the Sage?" Kong Ming tried to ask.

"I'm a Holy Magister of the Space and Light Systems, Ka Pingxiu. I'm also a tutor at school, and this time I'm just going to come here to find something, and then protect this princess by the way. Cabinshu said.

"I think the mentor is probably the princess's royal mentor, right?" Kong Ming couldn't help but say when he heard his words. This guy is obviously the princess's mentor, so he was stunned to say it so sacred, maybe the princess was still selected by him when she came to Chu State.

"Ahem, this is too, it is, but it's mainly protection, that's all. Hmph, what are you doing when you ask so much, you are a good noble magician who doesn't do it, what do you do, what do you lose, don't do your job, you are annoyed when you see you, and you leave. After the Sage finished speaking, he disappeared directly, teleporting, but before leaving, he also used a hidden weapon to directly attack Kong Ming. The inferiority of this secret weapon technique makes Kong Ming not disdainful, and he took it casually, and it turned out to be a book, Kong Ming opened it and took a look, "The Secret of Space", mainly about the theories that can be explained in space and the methods of entry, etc., it can be said that with this book, Kong Ming's understanding of space has definitely gone up a notch.

The next day, Kong Ming took the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group to a small village, which was not very far from the place where the prisoners of war were escorted, but it was about fifty kilometers, and above the sky, you could see the air horses of the Harvey people passing by at any time, and the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group was also moving forward cautiously, for fear of being discovered by them.

"Find an opportunity to kill these riders, or it would be too passive to keep letting them fly on them. Feng Mingshu muttered to the side.

Everyone walked into the small village, there was not a trace of life in it, the whole village seemed very scattered, the road was full of various objects, and the whole village seemed to have been ransacked. At this time, Kong Ming felt that there were some life fluctuations in a house, but this fluctuation was very weak, if it weren't for Kong Ming's sensitivity, no one would have found it except for the two sages. Kong Ming walked into the house and saw a scene that made everyone angry, a young woman lying on the bed, naked, already dead, her clothes were still in disarray, and next to the young woman there was a child who was a few months old, the child seemed to be lifeless, but Kong Ming knew that the child was not dead, because the slightest fluctuation of life came from him. At this time, there was also a trace of fierceness in Kong Ming's eyes, he had gone through so many wars, but he was still very unaccustomed to such a scene, this has nothing to do with anything else, it's just that as long as human blood is not cold, there is such a feeling.

"Vomit, vomit!!" An abrupt voice came, and Kong Ming didn't look at it, because it was a female voice, and the only woman in Kong Ming's team was the princess. Kong Ming walked over, picked up the child, turned to the princess, and said, "If you vomit a few more times, then this child will die." ”

"You vomit, what?" The princess endured the discomfort in her heart, hugged the child carefully, and then, without saying any words, raised her right hand, and used the magic of the light system to release a healing spell to the child, everyone did not speak, but looked at the child quietly, and it didn't take long for Kong Ming to feel that the child's heartbeat had increased, glanced at the princess, and walked out directly.

In the hall of a house, Kong Ming had a magus cast a reconnaissance spell that could detect an area of ten kilometers in the vicinity, but apart from a few empty riders patrolling there, no other Harveys were found on the ground.

"What's going on?" Kong Ming muttered in a low voice, it stands to reason that the Harvey people stopped in front of them, waiting for other people to catch those civilians and escaped prisoners of war back, they should send a guard nearby, and the guarded place must be sent out a certain distance, otherwise, the Harvey army will not have time to react, but now, except for the air horse, there is no guard, there will only be one result, that is, the Harvey people are moving, and those air horses are not used for vigilance, but for the side of the vigilance, only this explanation will be in line with reality。

"Lao Liu, Liang Hua, when they come back, you can tell me when you want, I want to be alone and calm down and think about something. Sora said sternly.

"Hmm. Liu Mingxin replied, and walked out after speaking, but before he reached the door, Kong Ming's voice came again: "In addition to vigilance, let all the soldiers rest immediately, and don't do anything else." ”

"Good!"

Two hours later, Liang Hua returned, and several of the leaders of the Snow Wolves were gathered.

"Captain, those Harveys are gone. Ahem!"

"Did you observe closely?"

"No, we can't get close, their magicians are always watching around, as if they are guarding against something, and those air riders are also sent out far away, the range of reconnaissance is very large, I don't know why this is happening, but there are many people behind them who let them die, it doesn't seem to be long, judging from the situation at the time, it won't be more than three hours, and by now, it should be five hours. ”

"You show me their route on the map. ”

"Others went along the valley, from here, here, to that side. Liang Hua said as he painted. Looking at the route he drawn, Kong Ming and Liu Mingxin, who had been officers, couldn't help frowning, this is not right at all, they did not go straight along the road to a place, but seemed to be moving closer to the north.

"What do they seem to be hiding?" Mr. Liu said.

"Yes, what do they seem to be hiding?" Shi Zhongqiang also said.

"Isn't it avoiding us?" said Liang Hua with a smile.

"No, it won't. Kong Ming looked away, "Their actions seem to be dodging, but it can also be said that they are preparing for an ambush, you see, in this place on this road, there is a valley, this kind of place, very suitable for ambushes, and according to Liang Hua's news, they seem to be in a hurry, very anxious! In order to hurry, they even forced those who were caught to hurry, and many of them were killed for this. ”

"Could it be that in order to avoid a strong army, and to avoid a war, they are going to set up a battlefield in that valley?"

"It's possible, but I think I'm more inclined to them running away. ”

"There is so little information about the situation that there is no way to judge their purpose. ”

"Now is not the time to judge their purpose, we can only know what they can do if we follow them closely. ”

"Do you know why our mercenary group is called Snow Wolves?" Kong Ming said.

"Because the snow wolf has a tactic, this tactic is something that other monsters can't learn, that is, follow the prey, when the prey is inadvertent, take a bite, and then, quickly escape, wait until the prey's vigilance is reduced, and then come forward to take a bite, until the prey dies, in this way, you can eat a monster bigger than yourself through guò constantly one bite, one bite, this is the snow wolf's tactic, and now we can adopt this tactic, do you say yes. Shi Zhongqiang said on the side.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, so they all looked at Kong Ming, Kong Ming listened to Shi Zhongqiang's Jian yì, and his heart was very excited, this sentence really spoke to his heart.

"Okay, now let's go, let's follow Harvey's army, on the one hand, we can monitor them through Guò to see what has pushed them to this point, and on the other hand, we can also use Guò to continuously eliminate their air horses and guards to achieve our goal. All assembled, unchanged according to the original marching sequence, Liang Hua paid attention to the reconnaissance ahead, while the other teams sent out guards in appropriate positions on the left and right sides. Don't let us crash into the encirclement of the enemy. Let's go. ”

Three minutes later, the team set off, and when Kong Ming wanted to say goodbye to the princess, he found that the princess, who had never taken care of the child, actually broke out in motherhood, and after saving the child, he also let him sleep, and after Kong Ming proposed to let her stay, he did not object. In this way, Kongming's hope was dashed, and that strong reinforcement was gone at once. It seems that people still have to rely on themselves, not their own is always not, others can take it away at any time, and only their own things are truly their own.

In this maneuver, Kong Ming and the others did not hide their whereabouts as before, but moved forward as fast as they could.

"Commander, this is not the way, you see, those five air horsemen have been following us, if this continues, our goal has not been achieved, they will make dumplings for us. ”

"Hehe, you just wait and see, how can we let them be there like this?" Before the words fell, he found that the five air riders were falling one after another as if they had been attacked by something, and after a while, Liang Hua appeared in front of Kong Ming and the others with a smile on his face.

"Isn't there anything good?" asked Liu Mingxin.

"Hmm. Liang Hua rode a horse and came to the side of several people, and said as he walked.

"It has been found that a Chu army has appeared in the northwest of the enemy, with a preliminary estimate of 100,000 men, coming down from the north, to cut off their retreat, and they are now marching north, expecting to reach Ningcheng at the fastest time. ”

"Do they still have prisoners?"

"Well, with it, I heard that it was going to be used as a hostage, and now there are captives on the side of the road all the time, and at first they started beating people, but then they didn't have much time to pay attention to these things, and those who couldn't keep up were killed directly. ”

They panicked and walked at a faster pace. ”

Two hours later, Kong Ming and the others had already appeared in the field of vision of the Harvey, and Kong Ming could see that the severed Harveys were quite wary of them. In the sky, more than a dozen empty horsemen gathered, constantly rushing down to scare those war horses, but after letting Feiyu shoot down a few, they never had such a stupid action again. Kong Ming did not rest, waved the long arrow in his hand, and directly ordered to rush over, for a while, more than two hundred horses rushed up directly, although the number is small, it sounds like a thousand troops, there are more than 20,000 people in the Harvey army after the break, but there are only more than 30 people facing the snow wolf mercenary group, because Kong Ming and others did not appear very suddenly, the Harvey people did not care at first, in their opinion, more than 200 people against more than 20,000 people is simply a suicide act, so the impact of Kong Ming and others caused them a lot of suddenness。 After approaching, from the snow wolf mercenaries, more than two hundred arrows were released, and even Kong Ming bent his bow and shot over, such a sudden action made the Harvey people feel a little uncomfortable, dozens of unprotected Harvey people hung up directly, and injured more, such an attack caused a panic among the Harvey, when they did not react, a large group of Harvey people in the rear were very angry at these people who dared to challenge them, so they broke away from the team and rushed directly towards the snow wolf mercenary group, that chaotic look, there was no organization, but they were disappointed, the snow wolf mercenaries only stayed outside the range of their arrowsAs soon as the Harvey's arrows could reach them, they immediately retreated. In the process, Harvey people were constantly shot. And when the Harveys were bored and went back, the Snow Wolf mercenaries attacked forward again, firing a round of arrows, and then retreated, and the two armies were in a stalemate, with a few wounded on the Snow Wolves' side, but more Havids died. Snow Wolf's tactics were brought into full play at this time.

After stepping back again, looking at the hundreds of corpses of the Harvey people on both sides, the empty eyes had endless coldness, and the heart was infinitely inclined to an unprecedented calm, the snow wolf mercenaries were already enthusiastic, although they did not fight for long, but the Harveys who fell beside them witnessed their battle. The Harveys on the other side had now recovered from their initial shock, and they were beginning to become organized and defensive, rather than the chaotic appearance they had at the beginning. Now that two teams of different levels are facing each other, the Snow Wolves have not attacked again, and the Harveys on the opposite side have completely stopped. The two sides confronted each other like this, time kept moving, and did not stop at anyone's will. Gradually, Kong Ming saw that the rear of the Harvey people in front of him was vacant, this is the Harvey people in front of him have left, and the people behind are staying to confront Kong Ming, to prevent the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group from harassing the Harvey people again, which is also something that makes the Harvey people very helpless, because of the proximity of the Chu army, so that these Harvey people are very passive, plus so many Chu people are caught in it, so that the team's marching speed is even slower, if at this time, let Kong Ming's small team drag here, then this prisoner of war pressure team may be completely buried here, so the only way to sacrifice a small detachment, let them drag the Chu people behind, so that they can speed up their advance and avoid the huge attack that is coming.

The Harvey people, more than thirty in a row, and the number of people in the depth is not a few rows, Kong Mingtong Guò Magic Mirror looked at it, and counted the number of Harvey people carefully, a total of 758 people. Among them, the mirror shows that there is only one great sword master, that is, the supreme commander of this team. The others do not have masters above level seven, which makes Kong Ming feel a lot more relieved, under this condition, although the snow wolf mercenary group is only more than two hundred people, and it is at a disadvantage compared with the other party in terms of numbers, but the other party is pure infantry, and the snow wolf's side is cavalry, after a certain proportion of conversion, the snow wolf's combat effectiveness is only one-third lower than the other party, if you add the difference in masters, the combat effectiveness of the two sides is almost equal, but the other party did not leave a magician and the snow wolf has a magic master and more than a dozen magicians of other levels, this item will completely pull away the combat effectiveness of both sides, if you add a shape shì, that is, the snow wolf can withdraw from the battle at any time, and the Harveys must stand there and not let the snow wolf mercenary group pass guò. When these items are taken together, there is a clear difference in the combat effectiveness of the two sides.

"Do you want to do it now?" asked Liu Mingxin.

"Don't worry, wait for the distance between them and the back team to be a little bigger, in this case, don't let them break down and get into the ranks, if that happens, our thoughts just now will be in vain. ”

The distance between the Harveys and their rear team has reached two kilometers, at this time, Kong Ming began to move, the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group was the same as the original at first, close to the Harvey, and then kept shooting arrows, covering the Harvey, the Harveys could only hide under the shield, and constantly observed the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group that had gradually approached from the gap. But at this time, the magician who had been hiding in the snow wolf made a move, and a burst of colorful magic covered the entire Harvey camp, under the face of the sixth-level magic and other different levels of magic, a large number of Harvey people fell directly, and the Harvey great swordsman led by him felt infinite grievances in his heart, more than 700 people against more than 200 people, but he was stunned and made the other party unable to raise his head, which made him embarrassed? At this time, Kong Ming did not pull the team back as before, but kept rushing forward, the five great swordsmen under the leadership of Kong Ming, all in front of the entire team, when they were less than thirty meters close to the enemy, the five fighting qi slashes directly rushed towards the team of the Harvey people, this scene made the Harvey great sword master even more frightened, because these five fighting qi slashes are all horizontally chopped, not the usual vertical, in this way, so that the great sword master also has the ability to kill, these ordinary Harvey soldiers, except for the captain, where is there a great sword master-level figureAs a result, the five fighting qi slashes rushed directly from the beginning to the end, and the Harvey soldiers in the places they passed were broken in two. The Great Swordsman also wanted to make a Fighting Qi Slash, but where could Fei Yu let him succeed? One after another, the flying arrows shot at him, leaving him to take care of himself under the attack of the same level. What frightened Harvey Great Swordsman even more was that after the five Great Swordsmen's Dou Qi Slash was issued, more than forty senior swordsmen behind them sent out Dou Qi Slash towards the Harvey people's camp in three waves, and this team of Harvey people was like letting a dense rake rake over countless pieces, and when all the Dou Qi slashes were released, the only one who could stand was the Harvey people's Great Swordsman.
