Chapter 33: Luring the Enemy
Unlike the human army, which looked like a god, Commander Cao was united and united on his side. As Commander Cao had assured before, it only took them less than ten days to reach the area near the Donglu Pass. It's just that Commander Cao is not in a hurry to find the human army at all, but just takes people and horses everywhere to fight the surrounding tribes to fight the autumn wind.
Commander Cao's idea was decided from the very beginning, to feed the war with war. While fighting against the human army, Regiment Commander Cao also had to harass the natives in the vicinity and completely beat out the name of the raiding group. It's just that what Captain Cao didn't expect was that someone had already taken the lead before him, and he did something that Captain Cao couldn't accept!
Even if he wants to make a name for himself here, Captain Cao knows that it doesn't mean that he wants to be enemies of everyone here. There must be enemies and allies. What is Commander Cao best at? What he is best at is to befriend those good indigenous people who have little strength, and develop them into his allies. Looking back at the growth history of the raiding group, we know that getting close to the good inhabitants of the indigenous people and making them submit has always been one of the core ideas of the head of Cao. And this strategy has always been very useful, invincible, and it seems to have become one of the signboards of Head Cao.
This time, Head Cao failed to succeed. It's not that Commander Cao's ability is not strong enough, but his goal doesn't exist at all! Obviously, there can't be no small indigenous tribes in this land, and there is no shortage of homeless people who are family-based. But by the time the raiders found them, they could no longer do the raiders any more help. Dead people really can't help, and the target that Commander Cao wants to make friends with has already been harmed! Commander Cao also personally went to inspect several scenes of the incident, and almost all of them were similar, and people couldn't help but be angry at the sight of it, and evil was born to the side of their hearts.
These indigenous civilians basically do not offend anyone, and even the indigenous bandits and robbers do not necessarily embarrass them, because they have little to gain in the first place. The only ones who will attack them are humans who may be aliens. The natives who died were all different, from orcs to intelligent races with a long history of exile. They all had the same characteristic when they were killed, that is, the scene of the incident was terrible. Commander Cao saw the naked corpse of the woman who died blindly, and at a glance, he knew that she was killed by ****. And then there were the old men who had been dropped from the trees, and their skin had been whipped to the scales of a fish. There are even those half-sized children who have been disemboweled, and their intestines and lungs have flowed all over the ground! This is simply inhumane!
Head Cao's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word. The people around him could see that Regiment Commander Cao was now in a state of extreme anger, like a powder keg stuffed with gunpowder, and with just a little spark, he would explode in its entirety! The soldiers of the raiding regiment were very sensible in digging and burying these indigenous people, and their hearts couldn't help but become heavy. They all know in their hearts that this is also equivalent to a signal, they have been looking for so long, and they haven't even found a single live mouth, which means that in the subsequent battle, if they want to use the power of the local people, I'm afraid it will not be so easy.
More crucially, these indigenous people died horribly dead. What kind of frenzied people would do to these non-threatening civilians? And treat them so cruelly? If it is an individual case, it is just a case, but this is obviously deliberate, all the natives who have no strength in the vicinity have been served by people, and this can only be the other party intended to do something to these natives in the first place, which led to such a consequence.
"Why do you think those bastards did such a crazy thing? These natives have no connection with us, so they don't ask about the killers, is there really no Heavenly Principle King Law?" Rodman viciously shook his black knives, and now he wanted to rush to those human bastards to fight hard. The soldiers of the raiding regiment are ruthless, but they never disdain to attack civilians, which is the basic morality of being a human being.
"Isn't that simple? they're just afraid that it's not necessarily because of our raiding group that they're persecuting these natives. The various actions of human beings in the Exiled Realm have never been justified, and this time they have come here with such a stirring of people, naturally they also want to create more trouble. If you look closely, they killed these natives for the sake of simple plunder, and to satisfy their perverted desires by torture and killing. These sons of bitches!" Iverson looked around, and finally came to this conclusion. As he was reminded, others discovered that the aborigines had largely been confiscated. There was hardly anything of value left, neither cattle nor furs. It is not so much that the humans wanted to stop them from helping the raiders, but that the humans themselves wanted to loot them.
"Curry, what's going on around you?" said Captain Cao sat on the side and smoked his cigar vigorously until everyone came back before he spoke. On the forehead of the head of the Cao regiment, the green tendons like earthworms were beating non-stop. It is definitely not easy for a person with a fiery personality like Captain Cao to endure until now.
"I've been and I've been there, and all the victims are indigenous people who can't protect themselves. As for the indigenous tribes who are able to protect themselves, they should know about the victimization of their neighbors, but they have chosen to stand by and watch, presumably because the enemies who persecute these indigenous people are too strong, so they choose to stand on the sidelines and do not help. Curry sighed and said his analysis. Not only is Curry the best player on the team, but his attentive personality is also very trustworthy. After seeing the tragic situation of these indigenous people, Curry has already found some clues.
The people who poisoned these indigenous people were definitely not ordinary robbers and bandits, but very powerful people. There is also blood among these indigenous people, such as the young adults among them, who definitely resisted before they died tragically. And the fatal injuries on their bodies, Curry also noticed, almost all of them were sharp and tricky. Moreover, the wound is the result of a sophisticated weapon, and it will definitely not be a defective product that the bandits in the Exiled Realm can obtain.
"Is there anything else you have discovered? Can you find out where the bastard who did these things has gone?" Captain Cao's eyes were like lightning, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, obviously preparing to kill. As long as you have followed Captain Cao for a while, you know that Captain Cao is actually a hippie smile 90% of the time, and once he shows the death glare like he is now, it is time for something big to happen. Naturally, the people of the raiding regiment are all gearing up, and they are now ready for battle. The southern expedition did not entertain the old raiders, and the newcomers were eager to prove themselves. is a plundering group, and now they are desperate for battle, and what they are waiting for is just a sentence from Commander Cao.
"Strange is strange in this place. I took a look at the traces left on the ground, these persecutors of the natives of the exiled realm didn't seem to have their minds on our raiding group at all, they came from the side of the East Road mountain pass, and their route radiated in all directions like a spider web, and did not target the direction of our raiding group. It was as if they had divided their forces in many places on the side of the East Road Pass, and I also deliberately tracked the distance, and they showed no signs of turning back, and kept rushing to places we didn't know, and most of them were still heading in the opposite direction of our raiding group. Curry scratched his head and said with a puzzled expression. Curry did put his heart into investing, but he really didn't understand what these humans were intent on, and Curry had been thinking about it for a long time on the way back, but he still didn't find anything.
"Don't you hear that there are clouds in the art of war, false and real, true and false, and false and true. Those human bastards are cunning, maybe they just went to fool us, and then deliberately left these traces to mislead us. I think those bastards probably found out that we were coming over, so they went to outflank our back. Maddie played with the art of war she had heard from Commander Cao and began to show off. The cunning of human beings, everyone has seen a lot.
"Probably not, but I didn't stop for a moment, except for these detachments that came here to burn and kill the kidnappers, their main team is gathering on the eastern side of the mountain pass, I lurked over to observe, there are about 20,000 people, including about 5,000 hoplites, and they are very orderly, not ordinary miscellaneous troops. The equipment is also very sophisticated, and this idea is still a bit handy. If they knew that we had arrived at this place, why did they divide their troops? As far as their military strength was concerned, as long as they were a commander with brains, they would have rushed directly to us and attacked us. Curry directly denied this possibility without even thinking about it, although he was young, but under the training of Captain Cao, his progress was very great.
"Hmph, it doesn't matter if they have a conspiracy or a conspiracy. I won't say more, you should know that these indigenous people died because of us. If we hadn't offended the Rex Empire, we wouldn't have attracted the people of the Rex Empire, and they wouldn't have suffered such bad luck. So I'm too lazy to care about what kind of plans and plans those Rex people have now, I'm going to start with them right away!" Captain Cao viciously threw the cigarette butt to the ground, and two white dragon-like smoke erupted from his nostrils, and said, "Lao Tzu wants to make these bastards pay an unimaginable price for this blood feud!"
"But, boss, the two old men are still behind us with our logistics troops and engineering troops. They also greeted us when we left, so we must not act rashly and wait until they come. Isn't it a bit too hasty for us to start beating our butts before we even have a hot ass?" Although the head of the skin is a fanatical warmonger, he is not reckless, and after hearing the strength of the other party described by Curry, the head of the skin does not think that it is a good way to face the other party now. The other party is an elite soldier of the Rex Empire, and there are 5,000 iron frame heavy horses, which is not a joke. The enemy is outnumbered, and it must be a surprise to win. And the current head of the Cao regiment doesn't seem to be rational at all, and the head of the Pi sect feels that he needs to say a few words.
"Let go of your mother's fart!" "Captain Cao directly sprayed the spit on the head of the Pi Jiao Xingzi: "I don't care what the old man says, you are also a person who has seen the world, and you are afraid when you hear that the other party has a little capital? Do you know what improvisation is? Lao Tzu was on the front line of the Southern Expedition, and he was never afraid of facing hundreds of thousands of barbarian troops, and today Lao Tzu will be afraid of this mere 20,000 people?" It's you, Pi Er, I don't care what method you use, before it gets dark today, I must let them know of our existence, and lead them westward, all the way to the Moissanite hills!"
"Moissanite Hills?" Pi Jiaotou was stunned, this place name was not unfamiliar to him at all, because on the way here, he passed through the hilly area with quite complex terrain. If the other party is led to the Moissandians, it will be a lot smaller than the rear army brought by the two old men. As soon as the head of the Pi sect heard the name of this place, he had a guess in his heart. Commander Cao has always been a series of tricks in his wars, and when he came to the hilly area with mixed terrain, the head of the Pi sect immediately concluded that Commander Cao wanted to set up an ambush in that place. Ambush is a good thing, of course, but so are the problems. The Moissanite Hills are arguably the only complex terrain in the vicinity, and the rest of the area is a large empty wilderness.
If the Moissanite Hills are used as a barrier, then if the battle is unfavorable, you can delay the enemy's ranks. If the battle situation was placed in that hilly area at the beginning, it meant that Commander Cao's expedition had not yet started, and he had given up a piece of strategic depth first. If you don't hold that hill, you have to retreat, and then there will be no shelter at all, wouldn't the situation be even worse?
"I'll hand over to you the only one hundred timberwolf cavalry in the raiding group, and by the way, you will draw another two hundred alliance escorts yourself. Whatever method you use, you must lure them to me!...... if necessary" Captain Cao took the head of the leather sect by the shoulders and whispered a plan in his ear, although there were only a few words, the face of the head of the leather sect became as shocked as if he had eaten! )
