Seven days passed like this, and everyone was hunting and patrolling, but the food they brought with them was almost consumed, and they could eat for three days at most, but there was no one to deliver supplies.

Wang Yong muttered to himself: "It is estimated that they have been played again, and the people in the logistics force have long forgotten about them." "In the past four days, the food has been completely gone, and the wild vegetables near the outpost have been dug up and there is not much left, and now Lord Reagan is also in a hurry.

Three days ago, there was still no news of the guards sent by Lord Reagan to the military station to find supplies, and the nearest military station was only two days away, and the guards were on horseback, and they could run back and forth in almost a day, which made people more and more anxious.

At the current outpost, one squadron of militiamen stands guard hungry, one squadron sleeps to maintain physical strength, and the other three squadrons all go out to dig wild vegetables and hunt, hoping to fill everyone's stomachs.

During this period, many people began to complain: "This fucking is a soldier or a refugee, not to mention that I can't eat, and now I don't even have food, and I have to come out to dig wild vegetables to eat, I think it's better to open up the wasteland and farm here." "That's it, you can't even see anyone in this broken place, otherwise it's better for Lao Tzu to rob again than to wait here to starve to death." ”

But it's useless to complain, you have to do what you have to do, at most it's a happy mouth. In the evening, everyone returned to the outpost, and Wang Yong and his first squadron were on duty, still four squads were standing guard, and one squad went out to patrol.

Lord Reagan couldn't sit still, so he called everyone above the squadron leader to his room to discuss the issue of food, and Wang Yong and Kevin also participated in the discussion.

Lei said straight to the point: "We have no food at all now, the supplies have not been delayed, and the people sent to inquire have not returned, what can you do?"

The captain of the Nuolin squadron said with a face full of indignation: "My lord, I think there is a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for us, deliberately not to give us food, we should send more people to the military station to transport supplies by ourselves, so as to reduce the consumption of the outpost, the nearby wild vegetables are enough for two squadrons to last for a few days, send out two squadrons to transport food, four days back and forth is about the same, I don't believe it, let's go to so many people, the gang of grandsons at the military station still dare not give us supplies, or we will rob it." ”

Everyone is sunk, considering the feasibility of this solution. At this time, Wang Yong said with a solemn expression: "I don't think so, even if someone targets us, at most, they will give us less food, they will not dare to starve us to death here." After all, we are on the front line here, and our existence also has a certain role for the empire and this war, if the matter of us starving to death here is known to the above, no one can afford such a responsibility. ”

Lei nodded after hearing this, feeling that Wang Yong's analysis was very reasonable, so he motioned for Wang Yong to continue.

Wang Yong continued: "I think there must have been some accident on the team sending supplies, but I really can't think of any accident that can happen in this place where birds don't? Could it be that they encountered a magical beast?"

Ray pondered for a moment and said: "If you want to tell what happened, there are no powerful beasts in this forest, and it is impossible for demonic beasts to come to the periphery of the forest, even if they really encounter any powerful beasts, it is impossible for no one to run away, I heard the former officer of the outpost say that every time a supply is sent, a squadron of soldiers will come over, and fifty soldiers are together, even if they encounter a powerful beast, it is impossible to be in great danger, the only possibility is that they meet someone stronger than them." ”

When Reagan said this, Varney stood up sharply and said, "Enemy, it must be an enemy, but we haven't noticed any enemy passing by?"

Nuo Sen also said with a solemn face: "Go and call the people who patrol outside to come back, everyone be vigilant, send two squadrons to stand guard at night, and then send people to check in a distant place after dawn." ”

After hearing this, Wang Yong and Kevin hurriedly ran out, because it was Wang Yong's team patrolling outside.

Wang Yong had just run to the gate of the outpost when he heard the militia on the wall shouting in horror: "Enemy, it's the enemy." ”

As soon as the words fell, the militia fell from the wall, and Wang Yong could see clearly that the man had a crossbow arrow crossed in his throat. When Wang Yong and Kevin saw this, their hearts tightened, and what they were most worried about still happened.

The two did not hesitate and shouted loudly: "Enemy attack, enemy attack." People on the wall pay attention to concealment. The two of them shouted and ran to the wall, trying to go up to see what was going on.

When he arrived at the wall, Wang Yong passed through the lookout and saw that the enemy was assembled more than 300 meters away from the gate, and there were three or four hundred people as far as he could see, and there were vague figures shaking in the distance, and the corners of Wang Yong's mouth twitched, "How many people must be here." ”

At this time, the people in the outpost were alarmed by their shouts, and they each ran up the wall with their weapons, and Lord Reagan and a group of squadron leaders also hurriedly came out to organize the militia and sent them to each wall guard.

At this time, the enemy outside already knew that he had been discovered, so he simply stopped hiding, and blatantly lit torches to illuminate them, without paying attention to the outpost at all.

After arranging the other militiamen, Vani also came to Wang Yong and Kevin's side, and looked out with everyone, when the torches outside were lit, Wang Yong saw sadly by the light of the fire, and saw the two unusually eye-catching rectangular military flags with red backgrounds in front of the enemy, and couldn't help but curse "Damn".

Seeing the military flags, it has been completely determined that those on the opposite side are enemies, because the military flags of the Lawson Empire are rectangular, and the armor they wear is very different from that of the Elder Empire.

Looking at the two military flags with a red background, Wang Yong scolded in his heart: "Your grandfather's, two battalions and two thousand regular troops came to fight our two hundred militiamen, and this fucking still makes people unable to live?"

Wang Yong turned his head and asked Vani, "What should I do?"

Varni looked at the two military flags and looked at the enemy troops who were gathering more and more, and he didn't know what to do, but he analyzed: "The contrast between our strength and the enemy is too great, this battle can't be fought at all, even if we defend to the death, we can only hold out for less than an hour at most, this is still in the case that the enemy is not attacking with all his strength, if the enemy attacks regardless of casualties, it is difficult to say." Also, the purpose of so many enemies appearing here must be to quietly go behind our line of defense and attack logistics and transportation, so it is impossible for them to leave a living mouth to go back to ventilate and report, and it is impossible for them to take prisoners to fight. Varney said this to the Lord Thunder next to him, hoping that he would make a rational decision.

After listening to Vani's analysis, Lei frowned, then looked at Wang Yong and Kevin expectantly and said, "Do you have any good solutions?"

Because it was Wang Yong's words just now that reminded him that there might be an enemy invasion, Reagan felt that Wang Yong's mind was quick, and Kevin had a lot of ghost ideas, so now Reagan came to ask the opinions of the two.

Wang Yong hesitated for a while and said, "Since we can't beat it, I think let's change our strategy." ”

After hearing this, Kevin said with a look of disdain: "If you run away, you will say run away, and our militia will still be strategized and transferred." ”

Wang Yong said disdainfully: "You don't understand this, talking about strategic transfer, if these enemies don't cause any major incidents, our responsibility will be very small in the future, or even no responsibility, but if we say escape, even if nothing major happens, we will have to bear the charge of desertion." ”

Lei He looked at Wang Yong with a surprised expression, and said in surprise: "Ivan, you know the nobles very well." ”

Then without waiting for Wang Yong to answer, he asked eagerly: "We only have one gate here, and now that the door is blocked by so many enemies, it is impossible to rush out, if you have any way, just say it quickly, the situation is urgent now." ”

Wang Yong didn't talk nonsense, pointed to the south wall and said: "I just looked, there are no enemies outside the other three walls, there is a hole under the wall of our south stable that can lead to the outside, this is still a few days ago when we were feeding the horses, we didn't deal with it much, just casually covered the hole with a wooden plank, let's remove the plank and get out, the hole is quite big, two people can go out at a time." Before you retreat, remember to sprinkle more oil in the outpost, I'll stay here as long as I can, and when everyone is out, I'll burrow and leave. Also, when you go out, find some stones, and when I get out, plug the hole, and then set it on fire, Lord Regan, you put a magic signal, and then we run into the forest. The reason why I ran into the forest was because I thought it was impossible for them to send only two battalions to attack our logistics and transportation lines, there must be more enemies on the outskirts of the forest, and if they ran into the forest, the chances of survival would be greater. ”

Wang Yong's plan and analysis were very detailed, and everyone felt that it was feasible, so Lei nodded and said, "Okay, just do it, you go first, I'm here to delay time." ”

Wang Yong patted Regan's shoulder and said in an unquestionable tone: "It's better for you to go first, I'll stay to delay time, I'll run faster than you, so that's it." By the way, tell all the militiamen to put their spears on the wall, don't take them away, and pretend that we are still on the wall, if the enemy discovers us in advance and is ready to move, then none of us will be able to escape. ”

Lei also knew that he was not good at physical fitness, and he was not as fast as Wang Yong, so he didn't insist anymore, patted Wang Yong's shoulder and said, "We'll wait for you outside." Then he took Vani and the others and quietly informed the other militia to go.

At this time, the enemy outside the outpost had already assembled and was ready to attack the outpost, so according to the practice of first persuading to surrender and then attacking, a burly soldier came to a place not far under the wall with a large shield, and shouted with a big grin: "Listen up, the people inside, we are the first and second battalions of the Pegasus Legion of the Lawson Empire, and there are three battalions of other legions behind, it is useless for you to resist, hurry up and lay down your arms and come out to surrender, we can guarantee the safety of your lives." ”

Wang Yong looked back and saw that the militiamen had begun to evacuate, and a few others were pouring fire oil everywhere, Wang Yong stood up, only showing his head and shouting outside: "If we surrender, how can you guarantee the safety of our lives?"

The soldier outside didn't have much hope, but just said it as usual, and the soldier was about to turn around and go back after finishing speaking, but he didn't expect that the people inside were really stupid to come out and surrender.

Hearing Wang Yong's words, the soldier summed up in his heart: "If these stupid Bs really come out and surrender, then they can occupy this place without a single soldier, and in this way, they can be regarded as making a contribution." ”

After waiting for a while, Wang Yong heard the soldiers outside shouting: "You have to believe us, our Luosen Empire is the most faithful to its promises, I can swear that as long as you come out and surrender, we will definitely not embarrass you, and we will give you the treatment of noble prisoners of war." ”

Wang Yong pursed his lips and thought: "Yes, you don't kill us, but you can let others kill us, we have watched too much of this routine on TV, do you really think I am a mountain artillery?"

But in order to delay time, Wang Yong said: "Our people are not in agreement now, give us some time to discuss, you won't miss this time, besides, there are so many of you around, we can't run." ”

Just when Wang Yong was nervous, the soldier's voice sounded again: "Give you ten minutes to think about it, when the time comes, if you still don't surrender, we will start attacking, and we will not survive at that time." After that, there was no sound.

Wang Yong and Kevin saw that the militia had almost retreated, so the two quietly walked to the gate and slowly took down the crossbar that closed the gate, in order to let the enemy come in more people at the first time, and burn more when they set fire in the future.

When Wang Yong and Kevin got out of the wall, they saw Vanni, several squadron leaders and Carl guarding the entrance of the cave, and there were many large rocks next to them.

Seeing the two of them coming out, everyone worked together, blocked the entrance to the cave with stones, and then ran into the forest together.

After running for more than 200 meters, everyone stopped, looked for cover, and watched the direction of the outpost sneakily.

Wang Yong and Kevin had already lit a torch and told Carl to shield them from the flames with their shields so that they would not be discovered by the enemy. Varni and a few of the guards had already picked up their bows and arrows, with oilcloths wrapped around them, and were waiting for the enemy to enter the outpost and set it on fire.
