"What are you talking about? Leaving overnight!" The village guard seemed unable to accept it.
"Yes, village defense. If we wait for tomorrow, even if we can escape unscathed, the prey will be taken away by the Shankui tribe. If we take it away overnight, there is still a chance." Tuba persuaded patiently.
"But what if the Shankui tribe comes to attack us again? Or what if we are surrounded on the way?" Tu Dageng immediately raised his worries.
"Village Defense, hurry up and give the order. I will explain it to you when I get the chance." Tuba was too lazy to explain and said directly to the Village Defense.
"The order is given. All teams must gather and set off in ten minutes." The village guard gave the order with an ugly expression on his face. Then he looked back at Tuba.
"The village defense and the Shankui tribe have suffered a defeat and will never dare to attack rashly. They will only keep a close eye on us. If we wait until dawn and we are surrounded by them on the way down the mountain, we will be even more passive." Tuba explained.
"But if we abandon the team at the first outpost and we retreat, what will they do? Tu Da stood up again and asked.
"It's better than all of them being trapped and dying here!" Seeing that Tuba hesitated and didn't answer, Tuyu stood up and said.
"Xiaoyu, it is absolutely not okay to abandon your comrades on the battlefield. You will be cursed." Tu Da said in a lecturing tone.
"We have to think of a perfect strategy..." After being reminded by Tuba, the village guard immediately hesitated. He did not want to bear the curse of abandoning his comrades. "Tuba, tell me what you think. Even if we don't need prey, we must not abandon our comrades.
"
"I, I'm thinking about it." On the way just now, Mao Qi was only busy telling Tuba how to lead the prey to retreat, and forgot about the retreat of the sentry team. As a result, Tuba had no idea at this time.
"Village defense, I suggest you wait for dawn, assemble the team, rush down the mountain, and fight for the shameless group of Shangui. We can't take the prey, and we won't leave it to these shit-eating dogs." Tu Da's mood suddenly became high.
, said impassionedly.
At this time, Tu Yu was also a little shaken and turned his gaze to Mao Qi unconsciously.
After hesitating for a long time, Mao Qi took a deep breath and finally stood up.
"Village defense, you and Tu Bao will retreat first with the prey. After Tu Ba and I are separated, we will definitely bring Tu Bao and the others back." Mao Qi said with confidence.
"Only you! Just you as a slave? Where does the confidence come from? By the way, who asked you to come back? Have you forgotten my order..." Seeing Mao Qi interrupt, Tu Da immediately suppressed the emotion before making the decision.
All the emotions poured into Mao Qi.
"Tu Da, you are going too far. The changes that the ancient mountain tribe has achieved today are not due to me, but to him. When the ancient mountain tribe was in despair, it was the tiger and leopard beast he brought back..." Tu Ba also broke out,
Tell the truth directly.
As soon as Tuba finished speaking, Cunfang and Tuba looked at Maoqi in surprise and fell silent.
"Village defense, the remaining team can form a complete Lixian Formation. This is what I rely on. Without worries, it is more conducive to the team's combat effectiveness; at the same time, we also need them as cover for tonight's retreat."
Mao Qi said calmly.
"Li Xian Formation and Xuan Wu Formation were also made by you?" Cun Fang did not express his position and asked after compiling his emotions.
Mao Qi nodded in acquiescence.
"Tu Da, let everyone hurry up." After receiving Mao Qi's recognition, the village guard suppressed his inner shock and ordered to Tu Da.
"Tuyu, what are you still doing? Hurry up and get ready." Tuda, who received the order, urged Tuyu.
"Captain Tu, I decided to stay." Tu Yu said firmly.
"Tuba, what about you?" Tuba continued to ask.
"I have to stay. Without me to deliver orders, I'm afraid it will affect Mao Qi's command." Tuba replied.
Tu Da clenched his fists and hesitated to speak. In the end, he carried out the order without saying anything.
"Tuba and Maoqi, you can go too. Leave this place to me and take good care of Hou Tuyu." The village guard then said to Tuba and Maoqi. Before leaving, he added: "Maoqi, the future of the ancient mountain tribe.
It’s up to you.”
The village guard's sudden instructions made Mao Qi stunned. He turned around and looked at the village guard for a moment, then rushed towards the outpost with Tuba and Tuyu.
"Cun Fang, why do you trust him so much?" Following Cun Fang's gaze, Tuda suddenly asked with a trace of regret that he could not stay.
"If the Gushan Tribe wants to make a comeback, there will be a battle sooner or later, and wouldn't it be better if this battle could be commanded by someone who is well versed in formations." Village Defense said meaningfully.
"I still don't understand if we have to fight again after making a comeback." TU asked confused.
"On the day when Tuba and Maoqi brought back the tiger and leopard beast, I was so excited that I went to the ancestral hall. I was originally going to tell my ancestors the good news, but by accident, I entered the bookstore and was immersed in the ancient mountain tribe's past.
The glory of the world made me realize the truth that only by changing can we survive. Over the past hundred years, the ancient mountain tribe has been getting worse day by day because we don’t want to change, are unwilling to change, and dare not change. In the end, our family fortune was completely ruined, and even
We almost starved to death. If our ancestors had spirits, they would be angry to death from us. Now it’s time to change. If we don’t dare to fight head-on with the Shankui tribe, we won’t be able to keep the hope we just gained, and we won’t be able to take the step to change.
The first step." Cun Fang explained as he walked.
"I seem to understand a little bit." Tu Da touched his head and said half-understanding.
"Let everyone move quickly, we can't lose this batch of prey." The village guard ended the conversation with Tuba, his expression became more solemn.
…
Mao Qi didn't say anything along the way, which made Tu Ba feel very unsure.
"Maoqi, what should we do next?" The more uncertain he became, the more worried he became, and finally couldn't help but ask.
"Tuba, is there anyone agile in the team? I am going to take a few people to hunt." Mao Qi did not answer directly, but carefully asked about the specific situation of the team members. He planned to select a few team members who are good at and stronger.
Go down the mountain to harass the Shankui team to better cover the village's retreat.
"Hunting?" Tuba touched his head in confusion and followed closely.
At this time, the Tubao was leading his team on a large rock not far from the outpost. Under the dark boulder not far away, several shadows flashed quickly and disappeared after a moment.
In a temporary tent, several tall men stood quietly, while Shanba in leather armor paced back and forth with an eager look on his face.
Seeing the person inquiring about the information return, Shan Ba suddenly raised his head and asked eagerly.
"Have you found out the situation clearly?"
"Captain, we were plotted and a few people were killed. I'm afraid we have alerted them." The scout replied with a depressed look on his face.
"Sure enough, we came here prepared. How many of them are there?" Shan Ba asked while thinking.
"The number of people who attacked us was about 30 at most, but not long after, another group of people came. It seemed that there were at least a hundred people, and they dared to walk out of the outpost to patrol openly."
"Sure enough, there is a big move. Pass the order and block all the roads down the mountain. Don't act rashly without my order." Shanba showed a smile on his face and issued the order calmly. At the same time, he secretly said in his heart: "There are nearly a hundred people on one sentry.
, it seems that this harvest is somewhat unexpected.”
"Captain Maoqi, Captain Tuba, according to your request, the six of us meet the requirements and come here to report." Tuyu reported loudly to Maoqi and Tuba.
"Captain Maoqi? Tuyu, are you mistaken?" The group looked at Tuyu in confusion and asked.
"There are still questions about the order given by the village guard himself." Tu Yu didn't even turn his head and looked at Mao Qi and said, as if he was obeying orders.
Even Tuba could see Tuyu's intention of deliberately exaggerating Maoqi's identity.
Among the people selected by Tuyu, there were two bows, one spear, and three shields, which were suitable for forming a Lixian Town. Moreover, Mao Qi's serious expression and natural movements were like ordering troops on the battlefield, and he instantly got 6
people’s recognition.
Seeing Mao Qi examining themselves, everyone puffed up their chests.
"Do you have the guts to go hunting with me?" Mao Qi asked in a calm but sonorous tone.
"How long have you been, and you are still hunting?" Tuba was a little puzzled, and even had the urge to stop him with words.
"Captain Maoqi, give the order." Tu Yu said excitedly but solemnly.
Tuyu's words interrupted Tuba's thoughts, but stimulated Maoqi's idea of hunting, which he had stopped. "Hunting at this time is simply not doing your job properly." Tuba reviewed it in his mind, and just about to speak, Maoqi continued.
The words made him shut his mouth completely.
"Tuba, take the people to guard the sentry post while Tuyu and I go to meet the Shankui tribe."
"Okay, okay!" Tuba nodded mechanically, but in his heart he was glad that he didn't stop Mao Qi.
"Two shields in front, one shield behind, follow me." Mao Qi simply said, took a spear, and led Tuyu and the others out of the outpost.
"Everyone, remember, this operation is very dangerous. You must kill with one strike later. If I say retreat, you have to retreat. Don't be reluctant to fight." After leaving the outpost, Mao Qi lowered his voice and reminded.
The six people nodded excitedly and nervously, followed Mao Qi, and walked carefully down the mountain in the darkness.
After turning a few corners, you can vaguely see the lights in the distance. It is obvious that the Shankui tribe's temporary residence is there.
Mao Qi made everyone stop, and then lowered his voice and said: "We have arrived at the enemy's territory and may encounter a sneak attack from the enemy's hidden sentry at any time. Everyone should keep a distance of 3 meters, no more than 4 meters at most, and move forward in parallel with 2 shields.
Pay attention to the front, the others form a triangle, each pay attention to one direction, and explore forward."
At this time, Mao Qi was fully focused. Although he could not use Baihui Dantian, his usual practice still made Mao Qi's ears and eyes much more sensitive than normal people.
Originally, Mao Qi was only preparing to attack the sentry post and retreat after achieving the purpose of covering. Unfortunately, Mao Qi did not guess that because the Shankui tribe did not set up a sentry post.
The Shankui tribe violated the common sense of marching and setting up formations, and actually increased the risk of Mao Qi's operation several times. Because although the success rate of the sneak attack was higher, the enemy's pursuit would come faster.
You can already see people in the tents, and sometimes you can hear some loud voices.??
