Chapter 18: Mushroom Tactics
"We agree with you in principle, and, in order to show our sincerity, we will pay a deposit of ten thousand gold coins first, and those people will arrive later. Jing Yuan came back after a while, obviously, his superiors had some hatred for that sword saint for killing his father and taking his wife, and he had to leave that sword saint in the Chu country forever, and he had to pay a great price for it. At the moment, several people were together and slowly waiting for those people to arrive.
"Jing Yuan, how did you sneak into the Harvey barracks?" Kong Ming asked casually.
"Isn't it just with the people they captured back, where do you have to go so hard to get in?"
"Hehe, you still don't want to pretend to be stupid here, do you think of us people who are so stupid?" Liu Mingxin teased on the side.
"Ahem, it's hell cold. Saying that, he didn't care about the faces of the three of them, "They should have arrived, how could it be so late, it's really strange." ”
A few people were also there talking some unnutritious words without pain, and more than ten minutes later, there was a sound of the hooves of a demonic beast in the distance, Kong Ming listened carefully, it was not the sound of the hooves of the war horse, but a more powerful, more powerful demonic beast. Sure enough, just before Kong Ming figured out what it was, those mounts had already arrived in front of Kong Ming, coming quickly, and stopping quickly, it can be seen that these monsters are strong and well-trained, and they stopped at a place thirty meters in front of Kong Ming and the others, and the snowflakes that were trampled up accompanied by the sudden wind blew on the bodies of Kong Ming and several people, but seeing this powerful mount had already made Kong Ming, the old cavalryman, ecstatic, where did he care about other things, Liu Mingxin was the same, only Feng Liren was disgusted by this. Jing Yuan was obviously afraid that Kong Ming and the others would be dissatisfied, but when he saw Kong Ming's eyes glowing, he knew that he didn't need to say more, otherwise he would be suspected of adding to the snake. This kind of monster is like a horse, but it is taller, and there are scales on the skin, under the light of the snow, it looks mighty and robust, and its four feet are powerful and powerful at a glance, and then take a closer look, this monster is obviously above the third level, which makes Kong Ming have some doubts, this kind of monster is called a dragon scale horse, it is a kind of mount that only big forces can have, and it has always been something that the country does not pass on, although the shadow organization is not small, but in a short period of time, it seems impossible to bring so many dragon scale horses, so what kind of organization is after the shadow?
Just when Kong Ming was still staring at these mounts, a person jumped down from the dragon scale horse, dressed lightly and wearing a white cloak, and walked towards Kong Ming. When he walked to the front, he actually bowed to Kong Ming and saluted, Kong Ming returned a salute, but it also surprised Kong Ming, what kind of person can make a big sword master do such a big gift when he sees Kong Ming, this is simply an incredible thing, but in Kong Ming's mind, it is just a stroke like this, for the things in the back, Kong Ming will not touch, otherwise the big forces will have big troubles, and the small forces will have small forces, if you don't figure out these things, then until they are eaten up, you have to count the money for others, this kind of thing Kong Ming will not do, let alone such a courtesy, let Kong Ming be moved, it seems unlikely, but people respect me a foot, I respect people a foot, this is still certain.
"Let me introduce myself, I am the captain of the Dragonscale Cavalry, Thorn, I have been ordered to report to you with thirty-three great swordsmen and twenty-five mages, and we are completely under your command until this mission is completed. Your Excellency Kong Ming!" Kong Ming's eyes were hot for a while, what is called professionalism, what is absolute obedience, what is the model of the army, what is called the elite, what is called the guard, from this word and deed reflects the soul of an old soldier. But in addition to being excited, Kong Ming couldn't help but think about the origin of these people, these people are definitely not something that a country like Chu can cultivate, and it is not something that a small organization like Shadow can cultivate, their style and actions are all showing Kong Ming, this is the confidence that only a big country can have, and from their appearance, there is also a certain difference with the Chu people, and from their eyes, there is no objection to the seemingly absurd decision to obey Kong Ming, which is incredible, you know, a person has feelings, no matter what he wants him to do, they will have their own ideas, have different opinions, but, When Thorn said the first sentence, when Kong Ming glanced at the people behind him out of the corner of his eyes, Kong Ming saw respect in their eyes, and he did not despise Kong Ming because he was less than twenty. In an instant, this Ming knew that this was the team from where, because Kong Ming used to be their opponent, Kong Ming had fallen in front of them, and Kong Ming was just a fifteen-year-old boy at that time, even if there was no one in front of him who was fighting face to face with Kong Ming, but that temperament would not change. They are the royal guards of the Huayuan Empire, the people who once forced Kong Ming to commit suicide.
"I know!" said Kong Ming with emotion. Then I remembered the day when the snow fell, the valley where the four seasons were like spring, the tragic battle, how many brothers fell at the hands of the group of people in front of them and died in front of them, but now they have become comrades in the team, and the world is really hard to fathom.
"I'm sorry, I think it was a battle yesterday, so I'm not comfortable now, so let's do it, Jing Yuan, you lead the way, Lao Liu, you come to command the team, Thorn, you just keep up, let's go to a place only twenty kilometers away from the Harvey, take a look at the terrain again, I will rest for a while." After saying that, Kong Ming turned his head, returned to his horse, and looked blankly at the falling snow in the sky, and the day when the snow fell. I don't know if I always think of those sad things on snowy days, when I was a child, when it snowed, I was on the street and grabbed those dry and cold steamed buns with people, when it snowed that year, I fought to the death with a thousand Kari soldiers in a Jedi, and it was also snowing, but I saw my parents, but I was helpless, or when it snowed, I was captured, maybe it was sad things that are always easy to remember, and happy things are easy to amnesia, alas!
In the afternoon, Liu Mingxin led the team to a hill next to the town where the Harvey people are located, all the people were hidden, only a few leaders were still standing on the anticline of the hill to observe the movements of the Harvey people, but they didn't know what to see, and then looked at the Kongming next to them, it had been a whole day of lost soul, but they hadn't come back to their senses, could it be that these guys made Kongming afraid, and they didn't look like it, otherwise they would have rushed up directly with Kongming's character, how could there be a lost soul, could it be those wives who robbed Kongming, this is a big enemy, but...... Just when Liu Mingxin was thinking nonsense, Kong Ming let out a long sigh, and his eyes became sharp, Kong Ming knew that sooner or later there would be such a situation, but he didn't expect this day to come so early. But no matter what, that's in the past, they are the winners, they are a kind of straight and respectful people, no matter how they tear up on the battlefield head-on, it is the confrontation of the country, and left, there is nothing between people that cannot be put down, just like how many soldiers died under the hands of Kong Ming, if everyone comes to find Kong Ming, then where can Kong Ming still deal with it? Moreover, the root cause is just that Donk wants to fight for the so-called throne, and the soldiers in Kari are just some tools, thinking of this word, Kong Ming can't help but think of one point, that is, a warrior like Kong Ming fights to the death outside, and if he wins, it is just a "reward" Then two pieces of meat, and dead is a hundred, but those who want to figure out the guò war to get benefits, but just a few words, although, if the war is lost, they will also have a certain loss, but no matter what, their bodies will not disappear, these or is the government, and the soldier is just a sword in the hands of the government, and the need to swing, do not need to go to an unknown corner, but for the idea of the sword, and few people to experience, and once the sword has this or that idea, then he is not a sword, but the person who holds the sword, and this kind of person once he holds the sword is undoubtedly the most terribleBecause they were born with the sword, they know the need for the sword, they know the ability of the sword, and they are not like those who do not come out of the sword, they are dispensable with the sword, and once they are dispensable with the sword, then it proves that they can no longer wield the sword, this is a reality, and in that kind of struggle, the sword in the hand is an irreplaceable thing. If you want to win the fight for that kind of place, when not to put the sword aside.
Shaking his head, putting those things aside, Kong Ming looked at the town, at this time, the town has long since lost the feeling of being as dense as ants yesterday, except for the town itself, there are not too many people in other places, and some people who did not escape yesterday are collecting those corpses in twos and threes, and there are no Harvey people around them to supervise, just when Kong Ming is still thinking about why there is no Harvey supervising it, a civilian at the very edge wants to escape, but let an arrow come from a long distance, straight out of it more than a hundred meters, nailed to a tree, those civilians after seeing, can't help but be shocked, only bow your head and continue to work.
"Flying Feather?" Kong Ming whispered.
"That's the archer. Fei Yu replied, this person Cheng dù's arrows can only be shot by archers and above, and now there are no people guarding around the town, so I think they are using a group of archers as guards, at this time, if a large group of people attack, the first thing is to pass their territory, which should have a lot of losses, not to mention that there are only more than two hundred people on Kongming's side, even if it includes more than fifty shadow personnel, it is only more than three hundred, and it is tantamount to three hundred people to attack a well-defended town, which is tantamount to a meat bun beating a dog, there is no return, it seems that a good way is needed to break this situation, although there are few people on Kongming's side, There are only more than 300 people, but there are many masters, more than 30 great sword masters and more than 20 magic masters, plus those senior sword masters and magic wizards in the Kong Ming team, with this group of people, plus a certain amount of wisdom, who said that this cage cannot be broken?
"Tell me how you can defeat the Harvey?" said Kong Ming in a low voice.
Everyone thought for a while, "It's difficult, we don't have so many people, and even if we get in, we can't get out." Liu Mingxin said, this is a truth, although it is not very good.
"We can wait until it's dark before we touch it, so we don't have to worry about the advanced archers. Jing Yuan said that for the Assassins, the night was their favorite, and only the night was their paradise.
"Ranged magic blast is enough, so tiring to use?" said one of the magisters.
"I'll flash and create another mess, make those Harveys show their heads, and shoot them with an arrow. ”
......
Everyone whispered, Kong Ming looked at the town from afar, and kept thinking in his mind about how to use to eliminate these people, if he couldn't force it, if he did, his small capital would be consumed, and there was no profit in this way, he wouldn't do this kind of thing. You can't force it, you can only outwit it, but the Harvey people are huddled in the town, how can they outwit? This is a difficult problem, but, wait, this matter, in the final analysis, is to destroy the Harvey, the town is just a place, in this case, we can't let the Harvey people come out, but we can let them come out on their own, and only in this way can we save troops, and we don't have to worry about the difference in strength between the two sides as we do now. Only in this way can these Harvey people be eliminated more completely.
Kong Ming looked at it and suddenly asked, "Jing Yuan, are you ambushing the Sword Saint in place?"
"What's in place, we're enough to destroy that one Sword Saint......" Jing Yuan suddenly felt a strange look, raised his head and looked at the people around him who were looking at him with wide eyes, and suddenly knew what was wrong, but there was nothing he could do, he was discussing with others how to attack this town, and his nerves were focused on this matter, so that Kong Ming's sudden answer was just a subconscious answer, but now it was useless to make up for it.
"Hehe, let me guess, the combat power of a sword saint can be said to be super strong, but if a sword saint is just a sword saint, even if you add these fifty people, there is still no guarantee that you can eliminate him and not let them escape, then you should have at least two eighth-level powerhouses, mixed in our team, and want to take advantage of our attack to make a surprise attack on that sword saint, hehe, it is indeed a good calculation!!" There is something unkind in Kong Ming's voice, after all, no matter who it is, if people play it, the mood will not be much better.
"You listen to me......" Jing Yuan hurriedly explained, if it was in the past, he would definitely not have made such a trip, but now that there are two great gods here, where is his turn to be in charge?
"Don't say it," Kong Ming waved his hand, "I don't care what you think, on the contrary, there are a few masters here Our plan will be more stable, and we don't have to think about it so much, you want that Sword Saint to die, and we let those Harvey people die, everyone has the same goal, then only by working together can we achieve the goals of the two families together, I don't care about the rest." Kong Ming's heart was annoyed for a while, but what can be done, now that I don't know how many saint-level powerhouses are around, and before they themselves are exposed, no one knows which ones, if they turn their faces now, it is just self-inflicted humiliation, such a thing Kong Ming will not look for, anyway, he also has a layer of Huayuan Baron title here, these people will not harm themselves, and they have not offended anyone in Huayuan. In short, it is to command this battle with peace of mind, and then, it is true to gather and disperse.
"Now we're setting up the tactics, we're going to put any questions at the end, and we have time anyway. "Can there be no time, if the other party's sword saint comes, among the fifty people in Jing Yuan, some people are happy enough, if someone else comes, then Kong Ming is happy, anyway, now the initiative is in their hands, not like before, although they take the initiative, but they can't help them, they can just catch the fighter, not like now, they can create a zào fighter, although the two are the same, but one is active, the other is passive, the difference can be said to be thousands of miles away.
"The team went to the woods around the town to set up all kinds of dummies, stay away from the town, don't let them find out that they are dummies, even if they find out, it doesn't matter, just set them up, even if we start fighting, we have to keep setting them up until the battle is over. The other teams, after they left thirty minutes later, assembled, marched in the order of one, three, and two, and you more than fifty people were mixed in the three teams, and dealt with the masters of the enemy in the battle, by the way, you pick ten great sword masters to be with one team, otherwise, our soldiers will not be able to afford to lose. After the battle started, we moved along the flanks of the town, between two hundred and three hundred meters from the Harveys, which should be the distance of the Magus attack, right?"
"That's right. Zhan Tianhang replied.
"Then Jing Yuan, those twenty of your magisters will act as magicians and use this level of magic to carry out face attacks. Then we will leave with one blow, do not stop, let them feel that our magic power is not strong, but just a few great swordsmen. The third team is the same, attacking when approaching, at that time, Flying Feather, the mage among the enemies is your main responsibility. Remember that we only need to strike and then evacuate, and don't fall in love. ”
"Why just one hit?" Jing Yuan asked.
"Hehe, have you ever heard of the word mushroom?" said Kong Ming with a smile.
The crowd shook their heads.
"That's a slang term on our side, which means to do it slowly. We only need one blow, before the enemy reacts, we have disappeared, and when the enemy reacts, we move to the other side to rest, and then, another blow, and so on, as long as the initiative is in our hands, we will fight whenever we want, so that they are always in a high-pressure state, so that they are mentally exhausted, and when the time comes, they will not think of staying in the town, they will withdraw from the town and move to their army, and this is the best time for us to destroy the enemy. ”
"Hehe, that's what our people over there say, thick knives, painful death, haha. Feng Liren said. Everyone laughed when they heard it, but after laughing, someone asked, "What if they chase them out?"
"If they chase them out, pull them farther away, and after leaving the town for some distance, turn around and eat them, I don't think it's possible for them to send thirty great sword masters, so it's best. It is far better to annihilate the enemy in the field than to attack a place like a small town to rely on. ”
"So will they all come out, or will all the masters come out?"
"It's unlikely that the whole army will come out, because they had some wounded soldiers yesterday, and these people need someone to take care of them, after removing this part, they still need someone to defend this town, so as not to be taken advantage of, in this case, they will remove another part of the troops, and the rest, when they attack for the first time, they will not react immediately, so they will not have too many worries, and from the second time onwards, there will be some concerns about this, if they come out together, it will be the best, we can kill them by fishing, okay, the plan is set, it depends on our actions。 Kong Ming explained.
