Chapter 069: A Feast
Click...... The scattered and heavy sound of horses' hooves rang out constantly.
Dozens of laden wagons covered in oilcloth drove slowly on the mountain road, and the road was rough, so the walk was very difficult. When encountering potholes, they still need to be pushed behind, which can make the soldiers who accompany the team feel bitter in their hearts.
"If you insist on it, we will rest after a while. A man who looked like a captain shouted from the front.
"Yes......" The soldier responded weakly, and kept slandering in his heart, damn, he said it lightly, you have the ability to get off the horse and push and see......
Needless to say, just look at this jiashi and know that this is a small transport team that sent supplies to the army in front.
The road to the 100,000 mountains is notoriously complicated and difficult to navigate, and in such a situation, it is undoubtedly difficult to transport supplies. Therefore, the rear armament department simply sent troops to defend the road in a large area, and then dispersed the materials into pieces, so that the transportation would not be smooth because of the blockage along the way. Besides, no matter how many turns and turns the mountain road is, Zuihou can reach it anyway, the difference is only one day later and one day earlier.
"Uh, captain......" The soldier who was opening the way in front of him was stunned for a moment, and suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?" asked the captain. Because there are soldier checkpoints every dozen miles, there is no need to send any scouts. The captain was also stunned when he came over, "This is ......"
More than 1,000 meters in front of them, a building about ten meters high similar to an arch rises from the ground, and it looks like a majestic cottage from a distance.
"It's ...... What idiot came up with an idea, is there nothing to do?"Indeed, in this barren mountain and wilderness, Jiashi who is so serious is really a feeling of idle egg pain.
As the transport team gradually approached. The arch building is also seen more clearly. The entire body is made of wood, and below it are a dozen or so thick logs used to support it. On top of it, there are layers of short wood, as if to make something like an observatory.
The soldiers tilted their heads and looked at the towering building in amazement.
"Hey, there's no door yet, what's the point of this?" a soldier had sharp eyes and noticed that the arch was empty in the middle of the building. There is no cover at all. Even if it's boring to make a defensive bunker, you have to at least build a door or something, or else this defense is not zero?
"Then there is no horse barn, maybe the gate has not been built in a hurry. ”
"Hey. Did you think these guys were carpenters before they joined the army?"
"Haha, it's very likely!"
......
With this joyful mood, the convoy came to a place a few dozen meters outside the building. At this time, seven or eight plate armor soldiers from inside greeted them.
"Well, it turned out to be a lord soldier. No wonder it's so weird. ”
"This plate armor style...... It's Lord Hogan. Well, do you think this building is a little unstable? I don't think I'm going to collapse. ”
"Bah, you crow's mouth, shut up!"
The guards came up and saluted the captain who was sitting on his horse.
"Haha, I said brothers. The captain waved his hand and said with a smile, "What are you going to do here?
The soldiers behind the "haha......" couldn't help but laugh.
"Huh. The squad leader's face was also smiling. Quite embarrassed, "Let the chief see it." It's a mess of the brothers. ”
"I see. The captain smiled at the corner of his mouth, and then asked, "Why are there only a few of you, and there are still people?"
The guards were all in groups of twenty, and there were only seven or eight of these people in front of them.
"This ...... Some of the brothers went to cut down trees. Scratching his hair, the team leader said embarrassedly.
"Uh!" the captain opened his mouth, a little speechless. Dare to love this group of strange soldiers in front of you to build this project successfully......
After all, it's not his own soldiers, so it's hard to say anything. So the captain just pouted disapprovingly and waved his hand back: "Send your brothers' provisions." ”
The soldiers guarding the checkpoint naturally also need food and drink, although they set off with military rations, but that is only a day's reserve, and the rest needs to be supplied by these convoys along the way.
"Hey, xiexie, xiexie...... How dare you bother, we come by ourselves, by ourselves. After nodding his head, the squad leader asked a few soldiers behind him to step forward and carry it.
Hehe, it's also interesting...... The captain chuckled and did not object.
Twenty or so people naturally don't have much to eat and drink, even if it is a three-day ration, it is only a few bags.
Suck...... The captain of the squad commanding the carrying of things suddenly moved, then took a few deep breaths vigorously, and then looked fixedly at a carriage behind him.
"It's olive oil...... Why, brother, do you want it?" the squad leader's exaggerated demeanor naturally aroused the minds of the people around him, and one of the soldiers pouted and smiled.
"Hey, want, want. I haven't had oil or water in my stomach for a few days. The squad leader laughed twice, as if he was beating a snake with a stick.
"This ......," the soldier looked at the captain in front of him. This is material for the army, and he doesn't dare to act rashly.
The captain looked at this face to beware of the soldiers, and a sense of superiority couldn't help but arise, and he waved his hand unconcernedly, "Give them a bucket." ”
"Haha, xiexie, xiexie......" The squad leader's face was full of excitement, and his ordinary face was full of smiles.
"What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and move the rejection fence away. The squad leader rushed back with a bucket of olive oil and shouted at his soldiers to move out of the way.
Then he said with a courteous face: "You please, you please......"
"Haha!" the captain let out a cheerful daxiao, full of smugness. With a wave of the hand, the convoy slowly entered the circular arch.
The mountain road behind the arch is lined with wooden planks and tree branches, which must have been used for construction.
"Please, please......" The squad leader kept bending over with the oil drum.
Being a soldier is naturally a bit fleshy, and seeing that this squad leader is so boneless, the soldiers of the transport team can't help but smile contemptuously and don't even look at him. So...... No one noticed the captain's courteous smile, which turned into a weasel's laughter watching the chickens enter the nest.
Halfway through the line, the squad leader straightened up. The smile on his face did not diminish. The long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and he burst into tears.
"Do it!"
The words fell, and as soon as he stepped on the ground, the team leader instantly jumped on the roof of the car. The oil drum in his hand, which he opened at some point, was sprinkling the yellow liquid on the oilcloth. Immediately, the figure flashed, and he went to another car......
“haha...... Break it off for me!" A strong soldier beside the arch raised his heavy sword and instantly slashed at a supporting log.
Bang! The sword broke through the wood, and then the giant arch more than ten meters high creaked and swayed from side to side.
"Break it for me again!" the greatsword raised again. Bang! Another piece of rough wood breaks. Then he took off his sword and left, not looking at the result.
Squeak squeak...... The huge arch behind him could no longer hold on, and began to smash down the logs with a bang.
Everything happens in an instant. Those soldiers looked at the scene in front of them stupidly, completely unable to come back to their senses, what was this for...... If you are not satisfied with the construction, you want to demolish it?
Waiting for the log to hit the ground. On the mound, a large number of trees rolled down at both ends of the procession. The front and back are tightly blocked.
Neighing - the war horse chirps. Frightened by the sight, he raised his front hooves.
Bang! The stunned captain was thrown straight to the ground. But this time he also woke him up, and he didn't care about the pain in his body, so he got up and shouted: "Enemy attack...... There is something wrong with this group of soldiers, kill them!"
Boom! Boom!
As soon as the words fell, the log more than ten meters high over there finally fell down.
Bang! Bang!
The carriage fell apart, and the branches flew around.
"Ah......h
The soldiers below who couldn't react were smashed and screamed and wailed. Such heights. Such a weight, as long as it is hit. No matter how thick your armor is, it is directly crushed and non-negotiable.
"Kill them!" It was only the soldiers in the middle who were smashed, so the soldiers on both sides of the front and back drew their weapons and looked around murderously, uh...... At this time, except for the one who was still jumping on the various cars, the other soldiers disappeared.
"On the mound!"
The only place they could hide in was the mound with trees on either side, but before they could rush up, they saw the fires fall......
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh –
More than a dozen rockets passed over their heads, and in between, they were smashed straight down with burning planks. The arrow was not dense, but the effect was really not small, and when it landed on the tarpaulin, it was immediately a fire.
"Not good!" the captain looked at the burning material, and for a moment, his heart stopped beating for a few seconds. Then he let out a miserable howl that was not like a human voice, "Hurry up and put out the fire!"
He is the highest commander of this convoy, and if this material is damaged at all, he will not even be judged, and he can go directly to the gallows.
"Firefighting, firefighting...... Damn, kill the one who poured the olive oil!"
The captain looked at the little tarpaulin and wanted to slap himself in the mouth. It was just his own sense of superiority that gave olive oil to this person, but he became an accomplice in this fire.
"Haha!" a long laugh as the figure that had jumped over dozens of cars suddenly jumped up and kicked on top of the oil drum in the air. The figure took advantage of the momentum to float towards the roadside mound, and the oil drum smashed directly at the captain.
Bang!
The oil drum was smashed by the angry captain with a sword, but then a little yellow aroma liquid inside fell on him.
Whoosh, whoosh –
"Not good!" the captain reacted quickly, threw away his sword, and rolled quickly on the ground a few times. Although the yellow and gray on his body were very ugly, he managed to avoid being burned to death.
"Luke, leave him alone, our goal is to burn things!" said the figure that had fallen back into the hill quickly.
"Yes, Boss!" the rocket shifted again, this time igniting the branches of the planks scattered along the roadside.
Needless to say, this group of people is none other than Don and the members of the Grey Space. After confirming that it was the material team on the top of the mountain, he had this plan to burn grain in his heart.
The seemingly majestic giant arch is actually nothing more than a tofu scum project. The only thing that supported it was a few tree trunks, and if two of them were broken, the gate would collapse. As for the rolling logs that fell from above, they were not just meant to hurt the enemy, but to fuel the fire.
So now the fire in the middle of the convoy is the most violent, and the materials are all pressed under the burning wood, and they can't be saved.
"David, smash that wagon, it's olive oil in it. ”
"Howler!" a piece of burning wood was thrown straight down. The target was too big, and David didn't miss it.
Call...... The fire in front of the team instantly burst into the sky, startling the soldiers on the side to keep retreating.
"Haha......" the crowd shouted daxiao above the mound.
At this time, the neighing of panicked war horses, the wails of wounded soldiers, shouts for fire, and so on rang out. Hope is like ...... A feast!(To be continued.) )
