"What? Weird thing?" Cao Xiu was startled when he heard this and immediately turned his head to look. From the corner, he could vaguely see the outline of Liyang City several miles away, but Cao Xiu did not see any weird shadow. But since the young general claimed to be
If you have good eyes, it is indeed possible to notice signs that others have not seen.
"What kind of weird thing?" Wu Yan asked.
"Uh... report to the commander, that monster has a pair of big horns, looks a bit like a deer, but very tall..." The young general who was questioned by the commander was very nervous, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and stammered in his report
"The body is probably made of wood, and it runs very fast... A caged car is being chased by it, ah, it has passed..."
As the young general reported, everyone gradually saw the shadow of a suspected monster in the distance. They saw that the shadow did indeed have antlers like a stag, and its body was light brown similar to a tree stump. It was running happily on the wilderness with its hooves raised.
.
"Is it a wood monster? Deer-shaped ones are relatively rare."
Wu Yan observed with great interest.
Metal, stone, grass and trees can contain wild monsters, and wood monsters are much more agile in movement than other types of wild monsters. But even so, no one has ever seen a deer-shaped wood monster galloping like this.
. Of course, it was surprising. A mere wooden deer did not attract the attention of Liyang's senior management. It was just that the timing of its appearance was too coincidental. If it broke into the school grounds like this, it would definitely bring chaos to the exercise.
The wooden deer galloping in the wilderness was obviously unaware of the danger ahead of it and ran quite happily. Cao Xiu on the hillside watched the wooden deer's direction, and after a moment he snapped his fingers and issued a simple command.
"Tell the Three Cavalry Team to deal with it."
"yes."
The messenger who received the order immediately raised the signal flag and played a series of semaphores on the hillside.
A moment later, a hundred-man cavalry team near the outside of the school grounds suddenly turned around in action and charged towards Mulu in the direction of the attack. Cao Xiu had no doubts about the cavalry team's ability to deal with Mulu and focused his observation on it.
At the neat turn of the cavalry, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Huh? Hide, hide?"
The young general over there shouted. Cao Xiu was shocked when he heard this and quickly moved his eyes forward.
Probably aware of the dangerous atmosphere ahead, Mulu suddenly turned around when he was still one or two miles away from the cavalry, changing from a straight charge to a diagonal charge. Looking from the hillside, Mulu's diagonal charge seemed to be able to avoid the cavalry.
The team's charge.
"Hmph, the beast is quite clever."
Cao Xiu spat, observed the situation on the campus and issued two orders in succession.
After the messenger raised the signal flag, two cavalry teams broke away from the exercise and chased Mulu from different angles. During the gallop, the cavalry reorganized themselves into a flat-pushing formation according to the instructions, like two large pliers, one on the left and the other on the right.
The deer carried it away.
"That's pretty much it."
Cao Xiu murmured to himself.
In fact, not only him, but also all the generals on the slope had a sense of absurdity. In order to deal with a panicked and fleeing absurd monster, two cavalry teams were used. They even used tactics such as galloping to change formations and attacking from left to right. In fact,
It feels a bit like killing a chicken with a knife. But today is a drill, so it doesn't hurt to treat it as a practical exercise.
The generals who looked at the school grounds with this mentality soon felt full of surprise again.
"Huh? It changed direction again?"
"That speed is so fast! Is it really a wood monster?"
"Planning to pass through the gap? Not good!"
Everyone was able to see the school formation clearly based on their commanding position. Mulu, who was in the middle of the situation, could not grasp the situation. However, Mulu was clearly aware of the two cavalry teams approaching from the left and right.
And as if there were eyes in the sky, it turned around and rushed towards the only gap in the bag. The panicked Mulu even ran out of the high speed of the hammer-headed bird, and finally managed to escape before the bag closed.
The Yuqi camp's coercive tactics failed, and all the generals on the slope gasped.
"Hey, what the hell is that?"
"It's not an ordinary weird thing, at least it's a pawn...or a general?"
"You mean like the Lord of the Palace? You're kidding!"
The generals were talking a lot, and Cao Xiu also took a deep breath to calm down.
A mere deer-shaped wooden monster actually made the Yuqi battalion miss twice in a row. It was a huge humiliation in front of everyone. However, Cao Xiu could not blame his men for their gaffes. The three cavalry teams showed extremely good tactical qualities in the pursuit.
This failed to intercept the target. It can only be said that Cao Xiu's command was improper, or the opponent was too difficult to deal with.
At this moment, the wooden deer had run into the middle of the school grounds in panic, and it was impossible to ignore it and practice again.
"Master, please allow me to take command of the last general."
Cao Xiu clenched his fist and begged Wu Yan.
After the drill, the top priority now is to intercept the wooden deer. If it is really a general among the monsters, the Yuqi camp cannot let it get close to the hillside where the commander is located, even if they risk their lives.
There was such determination in the veteran's eyes.
"Go ahead and leave it to your Majesty."
Wu Yan smiled bitterly and nodded, but he couldn't help but feel funny in his heart.
But it was just a wooden deer that broke into the training ground, and in the end, the entire Yuqi battalion was mobilized to intercept it. If this ridiculous and joke-like situation could not be dealt with early, if word spreads around the Yuqi battalion, the Yuqi battalion will probably become the laughing stock of all countries.
.
Wu Yan shook his head, frowning and looking at the school field below.
With Cao Xiu personally taking command, the Yuqi battalion indeed showed a different situation from before.
I saw that Cao Xiu first ordered three cavalry teams to line up in a horizontal formation and press towards Mulu. The horizontal columns overlapped in front and back, eliminating the opportunity for Mulu to take advantage of the opportunity. When Mulu turned to escape, the two cavalry teams that had previously missed were already on the way.
A formation spread out behind them, blocking the way back.
Mulu, who had no way to retreat, turned and sprinted towards the angle of the diagonal formation, trying to repeat his old tricks and escape through the gap. Unexpectedly, Cao Xiu had already sent his cavalry to pack bags there, and Mulu rushed out of the gap in the angle and immediately
He was caught in action. At the moment when Mulu was tripped by the ambush, several cavalry teams also surrounded him from different directions, and it was like a drama of catching a turtle in an urn.
"Tsk, tsk, the soldier's sword is still young!"
"Well done! As expected of me, Li Yang Shuangzhu!"
"Look at how that evil beast can run away now!?"
The Mulu was surrounded by five hundred feathered cavalry and froze in place unable to move. Everyone looked proud and proud, and Wu Yan also relaxed the strength of his palms. Unexpectedly, he heard another low cry from the other side.
"Anything else?"
Everyone's hearts trembled and they all looked at the sharp-eyed young general. The young general was so stunned that he blushed and immediately lowered his head, not daring to speak again.
"If you have anything to say, just say it." Wu Yan looked over.
"It's... that, reported to the commander-in-chief, the general just saw it, it looked like there was someone on the back of the deer..."
"What? There is someone on the back of the monster?" These incredible words made everyone look at each other, but Wu Yan's expression turned serious as if he had thought of something.
"There is someone on the back of the deer, are you sure you read that correctly?"
"Yes, I did see someone on the back of a deer..."
Before the young general finished speaking, Wu Yan suddenly clicked his tongue, then grabbed the bird's belly and urged his mount to rush down the hillside.
