The white-haired old man was not only good at arranging troops, but was also good at observation. He found that the villagers in the confused village were working day and night without sufficient food rations, but showed no signs of weakness or exhaustion. He suspected that the villagers had hidden food.
Once, in front of Nahao, he proposed to clear out the villagers who were confused.
Nahao is not a confused person, and he cherishes his reputation even more. Although he also found that the confused villagers were suspected, he could not find any evidence. If he killed them without any evidence, wouldn't he destroy his reputation? Besides, the villagers have been confused for generations.
He has lived by farming for generations, and his farming technology alone is unique in the Dead Continent. No one has dared to bring trouble to Mu Mu Village during all the wars in the past. If Mu Mu Village is really destroyed by his own hands, he will definitely bear the infamy of the ages.
So whenever the old man mentioned this matter, Nahao politely refused.
"Nahao is on guard. From what I've seen, the last time the granary was attacked, the Foolish Village must have been involved." The white-haired old man was stubborn and had an attitude of not giving up if he failed to achieve his goal.
"There is no need to worry about this matter, Na Laodu. Even if the foolish villagers hid food secretly, they will not be punished to death. What's more, the confused village is still the face of our Heavenly Royal Family in the Dead Continent. If it is destroyed, it will be cast aside. Think about it.
Look, a group of farmers colluded with bandits for what purpose; as for hiding illicit grain, the Mudong Village can feed the Heavenly Royal Family with the produce of one village, so what if you give them a little." Nahao smiled and explained sincerely.
"That's what Master Nahao said." Nahao's analysis was thorough and reasonable, and his vision was superior to others. The white-haired old man was so convinced that he could only reply with a dry smile.
Everyone has their own mission and tasks. For example, Nahao is responsible for rebuilding the defense of Mudong Village; the death team has to continue to harass the rear of the three major tribes.
After leaving Mudong Village, the death team wandered among the mountains and forests, focusing only on training and no longer harassing them. The suffocating Qu Qihu and the death team members had itchy hands and felt uncomfortable.
But Mao Qi was not in a hurry. He had just experienced a series of battles, and new people had joined. Under this situation, it was not easy to fight. Moreover, the three major tribes' coalition forces were attacked by the granary. They were angry and needed to avoid the edge.
But Mao Qi has not been idle, and has been looking for the most suitable target to attack. When the time is right, Mao Qi sets the target as Wudu Village based on the intelligence of the scout team. The purpose is not only to disturb, but also to replenish weapons and equipment.
Wudu Village is the arrow and crossbow manufacturing base of the Tianwang Tribe. Since the war with the Taoshan Allied Forces, Wudu Village has been operating at full capacity, providing countless murderous weapons to the three major tribal alliances. The village is not large in area, but its defense is
But it is extremely strong. It is surrounded by a city wall about seven meters high, with a city gate at the front and rear. There are five checkpoints on the city wall, with countless arrows and crossbows inside. The most important thing is that there is an open space 100 meters outside the wall. Generally,
Under such circumstances, everyone can only enter through the front gate and must undergo interrogation. It is very difficult to sneak into the city.
Although it was difficult, the decision was made. Mao Qi summoned the deputy captains to discuss siege strategies.
When he heard that there was a combat mission, Qu Qiaohu immediately became excited. As soon as the meeting started, he asked Mao Qi to fight regardless of the situation. He couldn't wait to carry out the mission before he even understood what he was going to do.
"Qu Qiehu, I agree with your request." Seeing Qu Qiehu's anxious look, Mao Qi said speechlessly.
Qu Qiaohu's head felt like it was caught in the door, and he actually stood up and prepared to fight. But as soon as he stood up, he realized that he didn't know where he was going or who he was fighting. He scratched his head in embarrassment and sat down.
A simple and honest smile appeared on his face.
Mao Qi introduced the situation of Wudu Village in detail and prepared to solicit everyone's opinions.
Sun Panghai and Qu Qushi listened very seriously, and when they were asked to come up with ideas, they were like Qu Qiuhu, waiting for arrangements with big eyes and small eyes.
In fact, we can’t blame the deputy captains for not being able to come up with an idea. Even Mao Qi himself found it difficult to make a move. Especially the open space of about a hundred meters outside the city wall, which was unobstructed and unobstructed. Once an attack was launched, it would be a complete attack with arrows and crossbows.
target.
But no one was willing to give up like this. So Mao Qi took Qu Qushi to the outside of Wudu Village to see if there was any way.
"Brother, the defense of Wudu Village is no weaker than that of Mudou Village, and there are two defenses from the Tianwang Tribe around it. Once a war starts, they will definitely come to support, and the terrain here is not suitable for the death team. If we force it, there will be casualties.
It's too big. And if it is surrounded by reinforcements, the consequences will be more serious." Ququshi frowned and analyzed the terrain while observing the terrain.
Mao Qi did not answer hastily, but carefully observed the positions of the crossbows. He found that the five checkpoints were just enough to cover the 100 meters of open space outside the wall for attack, and there were also heavy crossbows inside.
"It seems that we can only borrow some arrows to use. It is really difficult to capture Wudu Village." The reason why Mao Qi gave up was because he did not want the death team to suffer too many casualties, but he was unwilling to give up.
You can take a step back and get some benefits from it.
"Brother, how can I borrow it?" Seeing Mao Qi's confident expression, Qu Qushi asked impatiently.
"Let's go! We'll talk about it when we get back." Mao Qi hadn't thought about his plan in detail yet, so he had to go back to the meeting and discuss it in the long term.
"Captain, just give the order. We will obey your orders, mountains of swords and seas of fire." Before Mao Qi could speak, Qu Qiuhu couldn't wait to express his position, fearing that Mao Qi would give up.
"Qihu, be quiet." Qu Qushi reminded. Then he looked at Mao Qi eagerly, waiting for him to make a decision.
"I'm not too sure about this battle, but I'm not willing to give up like this." After a moment, Mao Qi stopped thinking and said when he saw everyone looking at him.
Mao Qixian set a minimum goal for this battle, to obtain 100,000 arrows, and also made preparations to capture Wudu Village.
Then the order was given directly.
"Vice Captain Pang Hai, you immediately arrange for a special team to make two shields. The bigger, the better. The outside of the shield is covered with a layer of hay, which is convenient for collecting arrows. Once the shield is made, hand it over directly to Vice Captain Ququshi. At the same time, transport the arrows.
Preparation for the arrow."
"Brother, you send four assault teams to guard the front and rear city gates. The enemy must not have the opportunity to seek foreign aid. At the same time, arrange two teams to take the shields."
"Vice Captain Qihu, you lead the combat team and are ready to attack the city at any time."
After the arrangements were completed, Mao Qi asked the scout team to disperse and keep an eye on the defense situation at all times.
In the evening, the death team, led by Mao Qi, arrived outside Wudu Village.
In Wudu Village, a heavily armed team suddenly appeared outside the city. They had never encountered such a formation before. The guards at the checkpoint suddenly became a mess, and their panicked shouts could be heard hundreds of meters away.
Before the battle, Mao Qi carefully checked the quality of the large shield, and after confirming that all personnel were in place, issued the attack order.
Two assault teams were seen carrying large shields and launching an attack on Wudu Village. At the same time, Qu Qiaohu commanded the combat team and prepared for the attack. For a moment, shouts rang through the sky.
The commando holding the shield kept Mao Qi's instructions in his mind. "Don't be afraid of exposing your intentions, and don't go too deep."
As soon as the commandos entered the range of the crossbow, arrows sprayed out from the checkpoint like rain. Through the shield, the impact of the arrows could still be felt.
After the panicked shouting continued for a while, it gradually quieted down, and the frequency of attacks also gradually slowed down, possibly because they had adapted to the non-threatening attacks from outside.
The afterglow of the sun quickly became dim. When the situation outside was no longer clear, Wudu Village's attack intensity increased again, for fear that the team outside would take the opportunity to launch an attack.
The general stationed in Wudu Village finally came to the city wall. After listening to the report with a drunken face, he stared outside the city. After a while, he smiled slightly and said: "They are just a group of thieves, they just want to get some arrows and crossbows.
Send the order, stop firing arrows, and light the beacon fire outside the city to prevent them from sneak attack."
Judging from the composure and wisdom of this general, he did not look like a loser. Moreover, after giving the order, he was not in a hurry to leave, but rested at the checkpoint.
Mao Qi looked at the changes on the battlefield and felt extremely calm. As long as there were no reinforcements, it was not impossible to capture Wudu Village.
"Captain Qihu, send people to pick up arrows and crossbows, but don't stop shouting."
Regarding Mao Qi's order, Qu Qiuhu carried it out without hesitation. After a wave, the death team harvested at least nearly 10,000 arrows.
When the team that picked up the arrows retreated, they stopped shouting.
As the death squad's shouts disappeared, the atmosphere at the checkpoint suddenly became relaxed.
"They are indeed a bunch of thieves."
"Having been hiding under the shield, are you trying to hide and seek for us?"
The soldiers at the checkpoint were chatting and laughing. They looked at the members of the death squad who were busy picking up arrows outside the city and smiled disdainfully. In their eyes, only the bandits could appreciate these arrows.
"The shield group, approach their fire." Mao Qi changed his plan and ordered directly.
"Sir, they, they seem to be rushing over." The crossbow guards at the sentry post were chatting when suddenly panicked shouts came from the observation post on the city wall.
"Damn it, you are really not afraid of death, let me shoot them with arrows." The general who was resting at the checkpoint was startled, disturbed his sleep, and roared angrily.
In an instant, the arrow rain was like locusts crossing the border again, falling densely towards the shield in the dark night.
At first, the generals in Wudu Village were really afraid that the other party would extinguish the beacon fire, but after repeated attempts, the crossbowmen at the checkpoints began to relax and even began to take a break. Although the generals wanted to go home, they still wanted to go home.
I was afraid that the enemy would really attack the city, so I had to be patient and stay in the checkpoint for one night.
Mao Qi also asked the assault team to change shifts and hold shields, happily collecting arrows. The two sides remained in a stalemate until dawn, and the death team harvested more than 30,000 arrows.
After struggling all night, although it failed to achieve the expected goal, it was enough for the Death Team to use for a long time.
Mao Qi asked the team members to load the arrows into the car and wait for dawn.
Although he could retreat immediately, he refused to retreat. Sun Panghai didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the Maoqi gourd. He wanted to ask several times, but he endured it.
When it was already daybreak, Mao Qi ordered all the soldiers to come forward, shouted at the checkpoint: "Thank you for the gift!", and then arrogantly pushed the cart back slowly.
The general who had spent the night in the checkpoint was already full of anger. When he was awakened by the shouts of the soldiers of the death squad, he was even more angry and gnashing his teeth.
Seeing such provocation from the other party, a deputy general couldn't hold back and finally couldn't help but said: "Sir, according to my observation, this group of thieves only has a few thousand people at most. You ask me to lead the garrison to rush out and destroy their
arrogance."
Hearing that the deputy general was preparing to leave the city to fight, the general of Wudu Village hesitated and thought to himself: "This is already the hinterland of the Tianwang tribe. I have never heard of any thieves. Could it be that they came here from the front line."
At the thought of this possibility, the generals of Wudu Village became excited, and the rewards offered by the coalition headquarters of the three major tribes came to mind. It is said that there must be brave men under the heavy rewards. There are more than 5,000 people in the Wudu Village garrison, and there are more than 5,000 people on the checkpoint.
With the cover of arrows and crossbows, you can advance and attack, and retreat and defend. The more you think about it, the greater your chances of winning, so you give a loud shout, rectify your team, and personally lead the garrison to chase and kill.??
