Chang Poyu stared helplessly at the crazy captive in front of him, and he didn't seem to be able to ask anything, but he finally understood what the hopeless charge was about by Captain Tianzhen.

"Captain Tianyao, have you released spies to see how many people there are in these madmen?"

Captain Tianzhen shook his head helplessly, "We have released three batches of carrier pigeons, but there is not a single brother who has returned." ”

Carrier pigeons, refers to the Xia army selected clever and fickle scouts, good at dressing up as people from various countries, to find out the enemy's news, three batches of carrier pigeons, nearly fifty good hands, is already most of the reconnaissance force of Tianzhen. Captain Tianzhen knew that he would have to rely on these reconnaissance forces in the next battle, so he was reluctant to let the last carrier pigeon team go to the enemy's situation again.

"Well," Chang Poyu knew that it was not easy for the border army, but as a commander, he couldn't have too much sympathy, and the old general who was killed in the sea of corpses and blood naturally understood the truth that Ci was not in charge of the army and was obligated not to manage money, he pointed to another personal soldier behind him,

"Bobcat, you lead a team of carrier pigeons, be sure to find out the number of the other party, where they are coming from, and, as the madman just said 'them', you must also find out who it is. ”

Instead, he ordered Captain Tianyao, "Don't you still have a team of carrier pigeons, hand them over to the cats, and release them now." ”

Captain Geng straightened, "General, this is the last carrier pigeon in our Tianzhen, and if we release it again, it will only make them lose their lives in vain......"

The captain still wanted to continue, but he might as well be kicked in the stomach by Chang Poyu, and in an instant the whole person flew out backwards, until a few steps away before falling to the ground, before he could recover his senses, the white-haired general quickly followed, stepped on the captain's chest, and asked with a gloomy face,

"How did you get into the position of captain, do you only have the life of carrier pigeons? Have you ever seen thousands of defenders and nearly 10,000 people in this Tianyao, have you ever seen that behind Tianyao, those cities without city defense in Great Xia, and those unarmed people in Great Xia!"

After a reprimand, the captain was speechless, he turned over, didn't care about cleaning up the sticky loess, and didn't care about the pain in his chest, and viciously ordered his subordinates beside him, "Let the carrier pigeons take their guys and listen to the command of Lord Bobcat!"

Chang Poyu nodded slightly, and then released two fast horses, one to inform the two nearby cities to be on guard, and the other to Shule to inform Geng Zhong and Huo Ping, the enemy situation has changed, if not, let the two quickly return to Tianyao.

The old general always felt that something was still inappropriate, and asked the quartermaster, "How many firearms are there?"

Firearms are still left, but they have been consumed a lot recently, and seeing that the captain who had been beaten by himself is still busy re-arranging firearms, and the city defense has doubled the patrol camp at night, which has made the veteran of the battlefield feel a little more stable.

But the uneasiness of the impending war was like a lingering shadow that always haunted the old general's heart.

The Bobcat also set off with the last team of pigeons. This bobcat relied on his own strength to win the trust of Chang Poyu, although he was young, but he has been in the army for many years.

Every few years, Chang Polu would personally go to the border army to patrol the camp, pay attention to the selection of those beautiful military talents, and bring them to his side to be trained and promoted, which is also the habit left by the civilian-born Tiankuihou back then.

Chang Polu was also discovered by Tiankuihou in this way, Tiankuihou once said to Chang Polu, "I hope you can also create more opportunities for these young generals in the future, they have no one in the court, and they are often buried in the hands of those powerful people who take advantage of power in Great Xia, and once there is really a war, the only thing the empire can rely on is these talents with real talents." ”

Although the lynx is still just a low-level captain next to Chang Poyu, he can be favored by General Chang in this capacity, and he naturally has his good qualities.

Before leaving, he first went to interrogate the silly prisoner again, although he did not get any more comprehensive information, but he also found out that there was no unified coordination and command between these teams that constantly launched a hopeless charge, and those soldiers who were like walking corpses could not tell why they would join such a charge, they only had one belief, the high walls and fortified cities in front of them were the only way to survive, because behind them, there were more terrifying enemies constantly approaching.

What are those enemies? They themselves can't tell.

Bobcat analyzed the situation and explained to Tianyao, the last ten carrier pigeon squads.

"After leaving the city, we should not act in unison, ten people are divided into five teams, separated by three hundred paces, to investigate the enemy's situation. If you are in distress, don't fall in love with the battle, the front must first pass the enemy information to the back, if you are glued by the enemy......" Lynx looked at the few people with solemn faces around him, "Two people in each squad have designated a team member who is responsible for sniping and blocking the enemy's movement, and try to ensure that at least one person can escape." ”

"Remember, intelligence is more important than our lives!" the lynx gave his final order to the crowd.

The ten carrier pigeons knew the fate of those comrades who had gone to investigate the enemy's situation before, and although they were all a little uneasy in their hearts, the quality of their years of training made them each solemnly nod yes to the strange commander.

"Let's go!" The team with the mission set off in teams of two according to the plan designed by Lord Bobcat in advance.

At this time, it was almost evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun was sprinkled on the scorched earth in front of the city wall, and it was impossible to distinguish which ones were the remnants of the fire and which were the fiery sunset, and the carrier pigeons quietly descended with ropes, bypassing the corpses, avoiding the hidden clouds and thunder, and sneaking towards the bushes that kept pouring away the corpses.

Three hundred steps is the distance estimated by the bobcat according to the current lighting conditions, and it is the limit distance that the front and rear teams can look at each other before entering the dense forest in the distance.

The lynx himself, the two men who followed the second team, also gradually approached the bush jungle in the distance, and at this moment the afterglow of the setting sun had been blocked out of the jungle, and the countless darkest shadows in the jungle seemed to be greedy mouths ready to devour human life.

Finally, they had reached the edge of the jungle, and the figures of the two in front had completely disappeared into the shadows scattered everywhere. The lynx looked at the third squad three hundred paces behind, and the two sides each gestured in response, and the lynx and the two people beside him flashed, each hiding into the darkness of the jungle.

Darkness is the fear that has been passed down in the blood of human ancestors, I don't know how many lives have been torn to pieces by those fangs and claws hidden in the darkness, when the sunlight is blocked from this world by the Night King, the poor people can only use the light of fire to disperse the death hidden in the darkness.

However, for the warriors of the carrier pigeon team, darkness is the best disguise.

According to the prior agreement, every hundred steps, the lynx will pay attention to the marks engraved on the trunks of the trees by the two people in front of them, as long as the marks continue, it means that everything is going well for the two people in front of them.

At the same time, the Bobcat's squad will also add its own signal under the existing mark, which is also to allow the squad to echo each other and ensure that all the reconnaissance teams rely on each other.

After about a stick of incense into the jungle, the lynx gradually felt abnormal, and the boundless darkness around him never saw the end, and suddenly, the mountain wind gradually rose, and the sound of branches and leaves shaking and flapping against each other was like countless footsteps surrounding from all directions.

Once such a setting comes to mind, the sound of those mountain winds suddenly makes people feel creepy.

"That's not right. ”

Intuition made the lynx stop, and the two carrier pigeons on the side did not know where to go, and they also hurriedly bowed down beside the lynx, and strengthened their vigilance on the left and right.

"Lynx-sama, what's wrong?"

"If memory serves, this is the fifteenth time we've seen the mark. ”

"Yes, my lord is not mistaken. ”

"Then you see, this fifteenth sign is the same as the previous one. ”

The other two carrier pigeons looked at it, and sure enough, as the lynx said, this mark was exactly the same as the previous one.

The two carrier pigeons were suddenly shocked in their hearts, and the brother in front of them had already had an accident......

Because the previously well-trained carrier pigeon team had no news, the lynx was also extra careful, according to his agreement, not only asked the front team to leave a secret mark, but also required these secret marks to hide a lot of news beyond the mark, for example, every five marks, must be on this fifth mark, add a special secret mark that will not be easily discovered, in case the enemy imitates these marks, inducing the carrier pigeon to follow astray assyray.

This fifteenth sign has been manipulated, the lynx is determined, and the carrier pigeon has been targeted by the enemy who is secretly hidden.

"Let's not go any further, retreat according to our own markers, and join up with the squad behind. ”

"Yes!" the two pigeons pulled out their weapons from behind their backs, small repeaters for the pigeon squad.

Although the range is limited, within twenty paces, it can fire ten short arrows in bursts, and the firepower is enough to allow the carrier pigeon to win more with less in hand-to-hand combat, and to be able to get out quickly.

But when the Bobcat team retreated to the previous marker, something that made him even more uneasy appeared, and the latter pair of carrier pigeons did not follow!

According to the Lynx's design, there is only one mark between the teams, but if they can't meet the latter team when they retreat to the previous marker, it only means that the enemy has divided and surrounded them.

"What should I do? The two nervous pigeons looked at the young commander together.

The lynx frowned, before leaving, he had imagined many short-handed plans, but he did not expect that the enemy was so strong that in his meticulous plan, he could still hunt them unnoticed.

"News is more important than our lives. The lynx remembered the instructions he had given to his men, and now, he was not afraid of death, he was only afraid that he would not be able to convey the situation in the jungle until he died.

But what puzzled him was, what was the purpose of the other party, since he could lead the pigeon team into the net so easily, but why didn't he show up, or attack the prey?

Outside the dense forest, the sunset has completely disappeared into the distant sky, and the old general Chang Lao, who is still monitoring the movement on the city tower, his snow-white beard fluttering in the cold wind, he watched the lynx Tianzhen carrier pigeons disappear into the distant jungle in pairs, but until the stars shine in the sky, they still did not see their return.

General Chang didn't doubt the Bobcat, but if the last Tianyao pigeon was still lost, he would continue to send more reconnaissance teams.

No amount of enemies is terrible to General Chang Polu, but the terrible thing is that you don't know anything about your enemies.
