Chapter 408: An appetizing dessert battle
In the wilderness, the huge barbarian army on the march is like a rumbling unstoppable chariot, majestic. However, after being fettered by a pebble, the chariot finally had no choice but to stop its wheels.
In the middle of the team, Tiu led dozens of people back to the corpse just now. If there is only one such situation, then there is nothing unusual. As mentioned earlier, this is a time of war, and this is a battlefield, and corpses are a common kind of roadside decoration. But now that several other roads have encountered similar situations, then this matter is a bit not simple, and it is worth paying attention to.
Examining the corpses were several tall but emaciated barbarians with black cloth masks and scimitars wrapped around their waists. This type of body outfit is still relatively rare among barbarians, but if Don was here, he would definitely recognize their origins. These people are all from the same tribe and have a common name - the Dark Serpent Guard!
As a special elite class of troops in the Northern Wilderness, the role of the Dark Serpent Guard should not be underestimated. In addition to forming a team to run long distances, the barbarians' reconnaissance, assassination and other tasks are also completed by them. At present, examining corpses is also a familiar way for them, after all, as long as they are proficient in assassination, they naturally have a hand in judging corpses.
There is naturally a big gap between the naked eye observation of ordinary people and the careful inspection of professionals, and in the middle of the sound, these dark snake guards will report the results of the examination...... These were all killed yesterday, and there is no doubt that the perpetrators were Bran soldiers.
The latter sentence seems like nonsense, but there is a difference between speculation and judgment with detailed facts as evidence. The wounds of these barbarians came from three weapons, spears, swords, and battle axes, and the wounds caused by Bran's weapons were very small. It's easy to tell.
In addition to these. Other results are more ambiguous. After all, these corpses have been passive, and the mountain roads here have been trampled, so it is impossible to accurately reconstruct the scene at that time.
Of course, in the absence of factual basis, it is still possible to make up for it......
"Thiu, you've investigated it thoroughly. There are five such conditions, all of which are more than 100 corpses. The first to be spotted was the Right Wing Ranks, and it was last night. But they didn't care, they didn't care. As the scouts went back and forth between several teams, the details were soon told by Yuan Fang.
Tiu was squatting next to a barbarian corpse at this time, nodded when he heard this, and said with great interest: "There are more than 100 people in five places...... Well, the other party's direction of travel is also east. Number...... It should be no less. Since it was here, the Bran team was supposed to be a garrison outside a nearby checkpoint, but instead of rushing to escape, they killed all the way around...... Hehe, the demonstration, venting anger, kind of fun!"
A casual remark that shifts the subject. Tyu was still quite stunned when this was brought about. However, after guessing the other party's purpose, he became quite excited. That look, like that of an eagle when he saw a hare on the grass, did not rush to start, but observed the other party's appearance when he fled in a panic.
"Do you want to kill it?" Yuan Fang asked lightly after seeing Tiu's expression, his attitude was very casual. Originally, no matter how many people there were on the other side, in front of their army, they could only be crushed and kneaded at will.
The order went down, and the team sped forward. Clapping his palms, Tiu stood up and stretched, "Depending on their luck, if it's really in our direction, I don't mind crushing them to death." Hehe, it's like a dessert before a big meal, tsk, appetizing. ”
Just like the habit of killing horses and drinking blood, the barbarians are destined to be strong. The ecological environment of the countless hills and grasslands in the Northern Wilderness also allowed them to truly walk on the ground when crossing the mountains and mountains. The order was given, and the whole barbarian team suddenly picked up speed, if this behemoth-like team was a rumbling chariot before, now it was like a galloping heavy cavalry regiment, the ground shook and the mountains were unstoppable.
Running like this, the formation naturally can't be taken care of. But then again, even so, who would dare to ambush such a team?
Not long after the rapid march, news came from the left flank that more than 100 corpses had been encountered again on the mountain road, and the scars were the same as the previous ones, but this time the corpses were not yet stiffened.
After hearing this, Tiu did not pause, but still let the team move on. This time the interval was longer, about two hours later, close to noon. News came from the left flank again, in the same situation, this time the body was still warm, and the blood was still flowing.
At noon, it was time to make food, and while Tiu ordered his team to stop and rest, he randomly dispatched several teams of five hundred barbarians to continue to advance, circling the front from all angles, and finally forming an encirclement.
"Haha, Uncle Yuan Fang, do you want to take a gamble?" Biting the bloody flesh, Tiu made a heartless suggestion, "I bet that our side will suffer four hundred casualties." Wager...... I won, don't talk to me for three days. ”
"Ridiculous, how can we gamble with the casualties of our warriors...... And this bet......" The middle-aged barbarian couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, but he seemed to be familiar with the other party's temperament, and then shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Okay, I'll bet on two hundred casualties." If I win...... Well, we'll turn around and go back now. ”
"Haha, I'll give you another chance. You know, that's a bet that I'm going to make if I lose. Tiu choked on the piece of meat, and his expression was very reasonable.
Shaking his head speechlessly, "Well, if I win, you must consider my advice when fighting against the Zichen Legion." Kindness. Even if I don't accept it, at least I have to give a reason that can convince me. ”
Smacking his lips, Tiwu tilted his head and groaned: "Tsk, this is negotiable...... But what if you can't listen?"
“...... Do you think I am you?"
"Okay, deal!" Seeing that Yuan Fang was a little resentful, Tiwu spread his hands, nodded briskly and agreed to the bet, and then smiled, "Haha, Uncle Yuan Fang, you lost." Although the other side has been looking for a small team on our side to start, this does not mean that they do not have the strength to challenge the large team. You also saw the scene of those corpses, and if you think about it, you will find that it is a real one. And some of the corpses were scarred on their backs...... What does this mean? It means that our soldiers have broken down by the end of the fight and are about to turn around and flee. Hehe, that's damn it!"
"But if you want to do that, either the other side is a really elite team...... Well, this is very unlikely, and the elite team will not be running around outside at this time. Then there is only one possibility left, that is, the opponent has an absolute advantage in numbers...... Well, the attacking Bran soldiers are counted as a thousand, and the number of people surrounding is at least five hundred. In this way, even if it is encircled and annihilated, the casualties on our side will be four hundred, haha...... Look at this tactical analysis, I hate myself so much, how can I be so talented, haha......"
In the midst of wild laughter, the more Tiu spoke, the more excited he became, and Zuihou rolled around on the ground, very happy. The surrounding barbarians looked very calm when they saw this, obviously not surprised.
However, if you put aside Zuihou's narcissistic words, Tiu's analysis of the hostile situation is still justified. This young man, who looks a little crazy, does have a sharp insight and excellent strategy that is different from his external image.
The middle-aged barbarian named Yuan Fang couldn't help but nod when he heard this, showing a look of appreciation, and then spread his hands and said, "I admit that your analysis is very reasonable, and the number of people on the other side should be the same." However, under the siege, it is still difficult to say how many layers the opponent's combat power can play, well, the casualties are about two hundred. ”
"Haha, let's wait and see...... Rub, warm is warm, animal skins are not good!" Rising from the ground, Tiu replied as he laboriously patted the grass clippings stuck to the fluffy hides, rather distressed.
To put it mildly, the two made a bet agreement. This gamble seems to be no problem, but in fact, there must be a precondition, that is, the other party must die, and this side must win.
Of course, the two of them can think of this. However, after thinking about the result, at most, Tiu consciously improved the opponent's combat effectiveness. Rao so, in their opinion, the outcome of this hors d'art like battle is decided, and there is no suspense at all.
But is that really the case...... (To be continued......)
