"Everyone, we have not found the enemy until now, which means that the enemy has not set up a hidden sentry, but this also makes our operation more dangerous. Once the enemy surrounds us, it is very likely that we will not be able to escape." Before the operation, Mao Qi analyzed again.
Understanding the situation, his tone was extremely serious.
"Captain, I'm not afraid, but I want to know the purpose of this operation." Although Tu Yu was nervous, he had no intention of giving up.
"Yes, if it's so dangerous, why should we take the risk." The spearman also expressed his opinion.
"Everyone, the purpose of our operation is to attract the attention of the Shankui tribe and protect the village from their evacuation. Only by launching an attack can they be afraid and dare not deploy troops at night. Now, there are still people who want to withdraw.
Opportunity, but after returning, we must tell Captain Tuba that he must lead the team to retreat along the village defense and their evacuation route." Facing the battle of life and death, Mao Qi became extremely focused and even temporarily forgot about his own situation.
"I won't retreat."
Neither do I...
"Okay, after entering the range later, no matter whether it is successful or not, you can only launch one attack. Then separate and retreat in groups of three. Don't be too eager to fight, otherwise it will be easy to fall into the enemy's siege." Mao Qi repeated again.
After a while, the six people were close to the enemy's camp. By the light of the fire, even the enemy's expression could be seen clearly.
After Mao Qi gestured with his hands to allocate attack targets, he stood up and threw the spear in his hand towards a sentry guard standing on the sentry tower. Seeing Mao Qi's action, the other two archers and spearmen immediately followed suit.
Launched an attack.
"Withdraw..." Before Mao Qi could finish his words, three sentry guards in the enemy camp fell to the ground, and at the same time they howled like pigs.
"There is an enemy sneak attack, give chase!" A moment later, a voice came out from the camp. Mao Qi and others took advantage of the moonlight to quickly retreat up the mountain.
"Captain Shanba, the enemy attacked our camp and killed three more of us."
After listening to the report, Shanba frowned and fell into deep thought, and did not immediately issue an order. On the contrary, the person who came to report had a worried face, but did not dare to disturb him.
"Chase me and kill these desperate guys." After a moment, Shanba issued the first order. Then he continued: "Gather the team together. There is no need to block other passages for the time being. Strengthen the camp sentry.
, set up a few more hidden sentries to prevent the enemy from making sneak attacks again, and wait until dawn for action."
"Shan Ba, I'm afraid that the enemy is attacking in the east and west in order to cover the evacuation of the hunting troops." A deputy captain heard Shan Ba's order and promptly reminded him.
"Although the ancient mountain tribes dare to hunt in our territory, the purpose of our trip is not to fight with them, but to collect the prey that belongs to us. If they are willing to give up the prey, I don't mind them escaping from the trail; if they are really killed,
If they are trapped to death, with their troops dispersed, once they struggle to the death, there will be a lot of casualties." Shanba sat down gently and said.
"But what if they take the prey away with them?" the deputy captain asked still worriedly.
"If you want to take your things along the Jueluya trail, it's still at night, unless you don't want to live. Their sneak attack just proves that they also know that taking the trail won't work." Shanba's attitude is extremely tough. And Shanba understands a truth better.
That is, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Such a large-scale hunting by the ancient mountain tribe this time must be at the end of the war. If there is a head-on confrontation, I am afraid that the loss will be not small, but nibbling step by step is the best way to completely defeat the ancient mountain tribe. Otherwise.
Once they choose to fight to the death, the Shankui tribe will not get any benefits.
…
Mao Qi and the two of them had not retreated a hundred meters when countless torches appeared behind them and chased him in the direction of his retreat.
Mao Qi quickened his pace, but he still couldn't keep up with the enemies chasing him from three sides.
"Captain, what should I do? I can't seem to run away."
"If you fight for them, just kill one of them and that's enough."
"Give me the bow and arrow." At this moment, Mao Qi changed his plan, turned around, took the bow and arrow, and shot it smoothly.
A few seconds later, shouts came from the chasing team: "They are right in front, everyone, be careful."
"Withdraw." Mao Qi returned the bows and arrows to the team members and continued to order.
"Captain, we have been discovered. They have torches. We will be caught up sooner or later. We might as well fight for them." One of the team members suggested.
"Be careful of the rocks under your feet and follow me closely. The closer they follow us, the safer Tuyu and the others will be. Not to mention our life and death, they don't count." Mao Qi gave up going up the mountain based on yesterday's memory, and
It's a retreat along the foot of the mountain.
Mao Qi's words gave the two of them great encouragement. The impulsive words suddenly became much less frequent, and the speed also increased a lot.
Tu Yu led three team members and quickly retreated up the mountain, quickly opening up a distance from the pursuing enemy.
"Captain, the enemy can't catch up, we are safe." A team member looked back and said excitedly.
"What did you say?" Tuyu stopped, turned around and looked at the fire getting further and further away from him, and instantly understood the reason. "It's Captain Maoqi who is covering us."
"Captain Tuyu, let's go rescue Captain Maoqi." One of the team members said without thinking.
"Withdraw, follow Captain Mao Qi's plan." Tu Yu hesitated for a moment, then decisively chose to retreat.
Mao Qi looked back at the pursuing enemy from time to time, and thought to himself: "Judging from the speed of the enemy's pursuit, I can escape safely at my own speed."
"You should keep going along this road and you should be able to meet up with Tuba's team." Mao Qi observed the terrain and said to the other two team members.
"Captain, what about you?" A team member understood the meaning of Mao Qi's words.
"I'll cover you," Mao Qi said.
"We must stay and die together."
"This is an order." Mao Qi shouted seriously.
"But Captain..."
"Don't worry, I won't die. Execute the order!" Mao Qi said in a stern tone.
After saying that, Mao Qi stopped and fired another arrow at the pursuing enemy.
One of the pursuers couldn't dodge and fell down.
Seeing Mao Qi stop, the two team members looked at each other, gave the remaining arrows in their hands to Mao Qi, and then accelerated their pace according to Mao Qi's instructions.
Mao Qi saw the right moment and took action again, instantly shooting two more people down.
"Shield, shield, put it on me. The team spreads out, be careful of being ambushed by the enemy." Mao Qi heard the command clearly while chasing the enemy. The enemy's speed also slowed down.
Although the enemy's speed slowed down, it disrupted Mao Qi's plan. Originally, Mao Qi planned to use speed to get rid of the enemy, but the enemies were scattered, making it difficult to use his speed advantage. Once exposed, he would be surrounded.
dumpling.
At the critical moment, Mao Qi once again tried to summon Lingying and the others, but there was still no response.
The enemy's figure is getting clearer and clearer, and the closest distance to Mao Qi is less than a hundred meters.
"There's no way to escape this time." Facing a dead end again, Mao Qi still looked extra calm. "If I get caught, I'm afraid I won't have a chance. It seems I can only take a gamble."
After making up his mind, Mao Qi hid his bow and arrow under the stone, and then rushed towards the enemy.
"Stop! Who is that?" Mao Qi had just rushed out less than ten meters when he was spotted by the chasing enemy.
"Don't kill me, I surrender." Hearing the enemy's cry, Mao Qi hid under a stone and shouted loudly in a panic.
"Put your hands up and get out." A slightly excited voice replied immediately.
Hearing the sound, all the chasing teams at the front gathered around, fearing that if they were slower, they would lose a share of the credit.
"Xiaoer, go and hand over his weapon." A big man quickly walked to the front of the team, his eyes firmly locked on Mao Qi not far away, and he said vigilantly.
"I don't have any weapons." Mao Qi raised his hands in the air and replied in a panic.
"Do we really want to be captured without mercy? If the other party doesn't fall for the trick, wouldn't it be even more dangerous for me... Hey! I don't know what these two boys, Lingying Lingyi, are doing. The boss has already reached a critical moment of life and death, and he hasn't shown up yet. It's really not fulfilling his duty."
In just a few seconds, Mao Qi's calm state of mind began to fluctuate again, until the tip of a cold spear touched his waist.
"Captain, this kid is not from the Gushan tribe." Xiaoer used a spear to restrain Mao Qi and reported with some disappointment.
"Even if you are not from the Ancient Mountain Tribe, you still have something to do with it." After hearing Xiao Er's report, the captain frowned, walked forward quickly, and then shouted, "Boy, please tell me where your accomplices are hiding.
.”
"Sir, please forgive me. I'm just a businessman. When I arrived here a few days ago, I was robbed by a group of people, so I had to sleep outside. Just now, just now, a group of people came from nowhere and robbed me.
I woke up from a dream, and fiercely snatched away the little food I asked for, without saying a word, and forced me to run in the direction of the master with a bow and arrow. I, I, was forced to have no choice, please forgive me." Mao Qi quickly calmed down.
After losing his mind, he tried to slow down his speech and said pitifully.
"Where are they?" The captain glanced into the darkness, then turned to Mao Qi and continued to ask.
"Just ahead." Mao Qi pointed at the dark place and said, but the direction was 30 degrees off.
"If you dare to lie, I will pull out your skin. Xiaoer, take this person back to the camp, and the rest of the people will follow me." The captain warned Mao Qi fiercely, and continued to lead people toward what Mao Qi pointed to.
Chase in the direction.
Having temporarily saved his life, Mao Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
Along the way, Mao Qi suffered a lot of abuse. He received more than ten blows on the handle of the spear alone. The pain made Mao Qi's eyes flash with stars. As soon as he entered the camp, he was teased like a monkey by a group of people again, until
After being pushed into a dark room, everything calmed down.
Finally having a quiet space, Mao Qi had to worry about the next inquiry.
"Come here, bring me the prisoner." As soon as he heard the news, Shan Ba couldn't wait to meet the prisoner who was running a business.
Before Mao Qi could adjust his mentality, his peace was broken again. This feeling of fear made Mao Qi exhausted physically and mentally.
