Chapter 376: Barbarians are not scary, but they are afraid that barbarians are educated!
PS: Bow down and thank the book friend "jht121" for the tip~!
The next morning, they left the Paso checkpoint early, and about 300 people marched into the wilderness.
The monotonous sky, although the complexion is bleak, but looking up, just like the soaring goshawk dotted with it, the realm is extremely magnificent. Looking down, looking into the distance, the low mound that circles and circles is endless, and it seems that it stretches until the end of the sky.
"It's so fast, I thought we had to rest for two days to get used to it. That's good...... Just arrived last night, and sent us out this morning, do you expect us to hang up so much?" he made a stretching motion, glancing left and right, and David pouted.
It was no wonder that David was so viciously speculating, as he said, they had just gotten up this morning, and before they could walk around the checkpoint, they received orders to go to battle as fast as they could, to a high ground where a Bran heavy sword battalion was trapped.
"Hehe, it may mean that, but it shouldn't be at all. Frey smiled bitterly, and then continued, "I went to look at the map of the march last night, and as expected, we are now on the edge of those hundreds of kilometers of irregular strip. However, the situation here is indeed tense, the Northern Wilderness has already seized most of the initiative, and the signs of barbarian activity are becoming more and more rampant. I guess there should be a big move recently, and the level won't last long. ”
After a pause, "Besides, didn't Bran soldiers also send out a lot this morning, hehe, if they didn't find suitable people for a while, do you think they would be willing to let us go to the rescue of the Gray Army?"
"I rub, dare not believe us. David slapped his palm and waved his hand angrily. "Yes. Why don't we just take a walk around here? When I went back, I said I couldn't find a place. ”
Luke on the side shook his head: "Forget it, after walking such a long way, you have come here, at least you have to see what the barbarian looks like." ”
Luke has a point. Frey smiled and nodded, "You always have to fight the barbarians, so it's good to feel it now." Well, the horror of the barbarians is not only manifested in their combat effectiveness, their strength is definitely not as high as yours. But it should be noted that they carried out their battle orders to the letter, as well as the state of madness when they actually fought. Hehe, ordinary barbarians are basically well-developed limbs and have not very good brains, but they are terrifying here...... The quality of intelligence sometimes only needs to be possessed by the commander. ”
Tang En raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and nodded secretly. Although they have a good personal relationship, the gray space is not Frey's team after all, so some of his words are not easy to say too thoroughly.
However, Don also understood, and Frey was worried that they would underestimate the enemy. As a result, they fall into a passive dilemma. Know that this is the battlefield, here. Strength is not the only criterion for judging survival. Even sometimes, people with higher strength will die faster, which is not a lie because the higher the strength of people, the more they like to change the situation by their own force, although it is simple and direct, but the result is often to attract more enemies, fall into a state of siege, zuihou die of exhaustion.
As for Frey's zuihou words, it should have been said to him. It's true that Gray Space is joining the Spear Breaking camp, but in the end, it's still Donn's people. If there is any contradiction, David they will definitely listen to him, not Frey.
This is often the most lethal, because many facts have been made clear, all a soldier needs is an order and then carry it out, and as for tactics and other things, it is better to leave it to the commander. If there are smart people among the soldiers, they will question tactics, knowing that thinking too much is one of the signs of a smart person, and the result is that the execution is not decisive. The consequences of this may not be serious in other places, but on the battlefield, it is likely to change the tide of the battle, affecting the lives of hundreds of people in the team, and Frey cannot afford to ignore it.
After a little hesitation, Tang En said seriously: "Brother Frey has been fighting on the battlefield for many years and has rich experience, if there are no special circumstances, we will naturally listen to you." ”
This is not a disobedient word, until the location of the Sesman is found, Tang and the others can only stay in the spear breaking camp. This is a battlefield, not a place to wander around. And since he wants to stay here, the command will naturally have to be handed over to Frey. Rengui is self-aware, and Don is a killer, not a general. What he is good at is absolute fine control of small scenes, and he really doesn't know anything about directing the legion to make various tactical instructions like this.
Frey's heart was relieved when he heard this, knowing that Tang En had understood what he meant, and then he couldn't help but be overjoyed, after all, having a team like Gray Space on his side, whether it was the success rate of the mission or the survival rate of the soldiers, it would undoubtedly be greatly improved. Just like now, there are members of the Gray Space doing scout scouting, and he feels more secure than ever when he walks the battlefield for the first time. As for that particular reason, Frey could also think that Don had joked that he was going to come to the front line to kill someone who didn't like it, and that should be the case. This does not conflict with their actions, and it is clear that no one has shown up yet.
waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hehe, it's just that I haven't died after a few years." The so-called experience, in fact, only needs to fight a few battles. ”
"Excessive modesty is pride, I really can't see that Brother Frey is such a person...... Haha!" After a joke, Don immediately changed the subject and asked, "What is our action when we reach our destination?"
"Uh, don't you ......" Shaking his head, Frey lost the opportunity to argue, and said with a wry smile, "The first thing we have to do is to observe, and if we get there and find that the battle is over, or that there are many barbarians, we will go back the way we came." Of course, if you happen to run into a scarred barbarian, this cheap will still have to be picked up. Well, if those Bran soldiers are alive, then take a hand to save them and make a good fate...... In a word, our principle is that you can save yourself, but you can't put yourself in it. ”
Tang En nodded, and was about to answer, but someone took it first, "It's really treacherous...... It turns out that time can really change people. Turning his head, the thin monkey behind him looked embarrassed, "I can't imagine that Captain Frey, who could kill three in and three out for the sake of his allies, has become such a person today." ”
"I'm rubbing, I dare you guys are joining forces to entertain me today. Frey's face darkened, and he couldn't help but explode into a foul mouth, and then rolled up his sleeves and was about to go over and beat someone. Don couldn't move. I can't beat it. But it's still okay to clean up the skinny monkey.
"Oh, no, this is to kill people. Brother Donn, for the sake of the same life and death, come and pull the brothers ......"
"You're looking for death...... Huh?"
At this moment, there was a pause in his footsteps, and Freyhoran turned his head to look at the two people who were running down from the mound a hundred meters ahead. That's their scout. It is the initiative of the gray space personnel.
The right hand is raised, "Stop!"
The team had just stopped on the side of the road, and the two had already rushed to the front, this was the second phase of the gray space, Mi Xiu's subordinates. The two of them didn't dare to delay when they came over, and walked straight towards Donne, but after seeing Donn's gesture halfway, they turned to Frey again.
"Lord Frey, ahead is the destination on the military order, and the two sides are currently fighting. ”
"Good!" Frey nodded in understanding. Then he said to Donne, "Let's go and see?" Don saw the gesture Frey made just now, but even if there was no such thing, with the friendship between the two, Frey would not have been able to snub Don.
Don shrugged his shoulders, naturally agreeing indifferently.
Immediately, Don took David, Michaeu, and the sharp-eyed Luke, and Frey took the thin monkey and a few other old brothers to climb up the slope to the top of the mound......
About 200 meters ahead, there is the tallest hill in the place. Of course, this height is relative to the low mounds around it. The hill sloped gently on both sides, a little steep on both sides, and on that slight slope the rudimentary fortifications had been built out of logs and earthen ditches, and it was on this basis that the soldiers in Bran armor fought fiercely against the attackers.
As for this attacker, it is naturally the Northern Barbarian. This was the first time they had seen a real ordinary barbarian soldier, and the previous situation of the Dark Serpent Guard was somewhat special and unrepresentative.
The rudimentary skins cover the majestic bodies, some of which are unclothed, but their black fur is very long, forming a second layer of warmth like animals. The weapons in his hands are varied, such as huge swords, thick iron rods, etc., the only thing in common is that they are all big enough, and they are amazingly wielded. Although it was a bit far away, because of the tailwind, you could hear the roar of those barbarians like giant beasts when attacking, which was quite intimidating.
The current situation can be said to be very unfavorable to Bran's side, although it is condescending to occupy the position, and has the assistance of simple fortifications, but the attack power of the barbarians is very amazing, under the single battle, Bran soldiers can hardly resist a few times, only many people besieged, it is possible to force the other side back.
However, this situation obviously did not last long, and the strength of a heavy sword battalion mentioned in the intelligence has now suffered more than half of the casualties, and only about 150 people can still fight, and most of them are wounded. The barbarian attackers, though there were only fifty or sixty men, had the advantage in the scene, and defeated the Bran soldiers one after another. And if these soldiers retreated another twenty meters or so to reach the top of the hill, then the battle would be over.
"Tsk, this is an encounter, it seems that our allies are not very lucky. Smacking his lips, the thin monkey said rather gloatingly.
They are all veterans of the battlefield, and after a little observation, you can conclude that this Bran heavy sword battalion inadvertently encountered this group of barbarians, and they can't get rid of it, so they can only choose to stick here and wait for help.
"Look there!" Luke suddenly gestured to the depression below the slope of the hill.
Everyone turned their eyes and couldn't help but secretly take a cool breath, there were still about a hundred barbarians guarding there, some were bandaging their wounds, and the rest looked up at the fierce battle on the hills.
"Is this to annihilate this group of Bran soldiers at the lowest cost?" said Frey's other old brother, called Bamboo Pole, who was stunned after seeing it, and then scratched his head, "Grass, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, these barbarians are growing in their brains, and they all know how to fucking use stratagems!"
The situation is obvious, the slope is so large, fifty or sixty barbarians are enough to perform, and no matter how many people there are, it doesn't make much sense. Therefore, these barbarians adopted a rotation system to attack the high ground and minimize casualties. This is just like the saying goes, barbarians are not terrible, but they are afraid that barbarians are educated.
"How about it, Brother Frey, do you want to make a move?" David asked, the situation was very uncertain now, as long as they waited another half a minute, this group of Bran soldiers would be properly hanged.
"One hundred and fifty barbarians...... muttered, and after a little hesitation, Frey decisively slapped his palm, "Damn, it's done!"
