Volume 8 Chapter 7

A cloud of blue and white smoke rushed up to the sky in front of the ancient watchtower which had been forgotten by the military of the cloud and Qin Dynasties.

Lin Xi frowned at the corpse of a cave man in front of him.

When the cave savages retreated, they took away all the bodies of the rest of their companions. Only when this cave savage's body was crushed under the stone bar and was too close to the watchtower, it was left behind.

He is also the first time to see what kind of acupoint man is like from such a close distance.

Compared with the body of the cave man, the two hundred pound stone bars are too narrow, so that the stone bar seems to be embedded in the hollow chest of the cave man.

The broad forehead, the broad lips, the high bulging muscles and the posture of these acupoints made Lin Xi naturally associate with the so-called champion of the 100m race, but this acupoint is not black, its skin is bronze color, and its height is at least about 1.9m.

Looking at this burly body with only a dozen pieces of steel and leather armour hanging all over it, which has died but still gives people a strong sense of oppression, Lin Xi is even more aware of why the Empire of Baiyun and Qin has to block these caves behind the dragon and snake mountains at any cost in these decades.

In the mid autumn and winter of dahuangze, the food is short for cave savages. There shouldn't be many iron and steel minerals in dahuangze, so although these cave savages can smelt flying spears for throwing, the quantity is not large. Only some very strong soldiers are qualified to wear some extremely simple armor in the eyes of soldiers of Yunqin.

Because of their limited stature, even if they get armor from the soldiers of Yunqin who died in the war, they can only find a way to crack them and make pieces like this and put them on their bodies.

However, the food and weapons were insufficient. Almost only relying on the instinct of the body to fight, the most elite army of Yunqin still had to maintain the proportion of four to one to ensure victory. Even so, compared with decades ago, the Yunqin empire was not superior to the cave. Now the watchtower behind him is the evidence.

At that time, the watchtower of the Yunqin military could stand here, standing on a hill extending into the "Yangjiao" of dahuangze, which shows that the Yunqin military still had great control over the area close to dahuangze at that time. However, today, in order to avoid great casualties, the garrison of the Yunqin military has to retreat greatly.

In the current situation, if Xue man is allowed to cross the dragon snake mountains and have more food and iron ore than before, it will have a great and far-reaching impact on the Yunqin empire.

……

Lin Xi looks at this extremely oppressive corpse. Because of sweating all over, his body temperature begins to drop. He immediately feels that the cold and mental fatigue begin to erode his body.

From this day to now, he secretly followed the nomadic army to sneak in the mountains and forests, but he didn't have much time to rest. He just ran and shot, especially the three big stones, which made him consume a lot of physical strength and soul power in an instant. At the moment, he felt that the soul power in his body was only about half.

"This is bitter ginger juice, which can avoid catching cold and make your body feel better."

At this time, xinweijie and kangqianjue came to him and handed a water bag to him. After that, xinweijie said in a deep voice, "three brothers have been lost."

Although Lin Xi still has to learn how to truly control the army, and still put the command of the Rangers in Xin Weijie's hands, for Xin Weijie and all the Rangers, Lin Xi has been the highest officer they accept, so anything and decisions should also be made known to Lin Xi.

Lin Xi did not make a sound, but pulled out the plug of the water bag and drank a big mouthful of bitter ginger juice, which was said by Xin Weijie.

A bitter, pungent and astringent taste spread in his body.

"What kind of task does the Ranger do here?" Lin Xi took a deep breath, and slowly spit out, looking at Xin Weijie and Kang qianjue.

Xin Weijie's throat was a little hoarse. He swallowed his saliva and looked at the forest where the acupoints had retreated. He said: "the above command says that there is a group of three scouts in Qianfeng camp who are not able to return to their lives. Let's go through the two sides of Heidi canyon by noon tomorrow and search to

five li in the wilderness."

Lin Xi asked, "in the previous military information report, is there any sign of big cave brute activity around here, or has there been a big battle?"

"Xin Weijie shook his head:" no mention

Lin Xi also shook his head and said softly, "so we still don't know the origin and whereabouts of this cave."

"I don't know what happened, but these acupoints are quite different from last autumn and winter." After a moment's silence, Xin weimustard said in a voice that was difficult to understand: "Lord Lin, maybe you don't know Before last autumn and winter, in these decades, although each of these adult cavemen has amazing combat power, their brains are extremely stupid. "

"To what extent were they stupid before, you can easily understand by using this blockhouse as an example." Xinweijie inhaled deeply and tried to calm his mood. He turned to his side, reached for the watchtower behind him, and then explained to Lin Xi, "if this watchtower is not such a completely closed watchtower, the top is empty. As long as our people are not leading them, they will never think of climbing to it and jumping down to attack us , or just from the front

"Even though this climbing is very simple for their ability, they just don't think of it. This kind of cutting down the big trees to hit It has never been in the past. Let alone send teams to touch the rear and cut off our retreat. "

Lin Xi is shocked.

He is not a high-level figure in the Yunqin military, nor is he the emperor of Yunqin. He does not know many deeper things. He just heard that acupoints are pretty stupid. In his opinion, the acupoints he met tonight are pretty stupid. But he did not expect that the acupoints were even more stupid than this. They were so stupid that he did not know how to maneuver at all.

After the initial consternation, his brow was deeply wrinkled, and he was shocked. He began to understand the meaning of Xin Weijie's words. He looked at xinweijie and said, "you mean According to the original behavior style of these acupoints, they either don't escape. After escaping, they can't come back. But now we have no idea what they're going to do next? "

"They would never have done that before." Xinweijie glanced at Lin Xi, and his face became more and more ugly: "unless they find that their people have only a few left, they will escape If the number is less than four to five to one, they will win. This is also the most direct impression that they have been fighting with the border army for decades and penetrating into their blood marrow. "

"Even if we have one or two more practitioners on our side, they will never be able to leave before, even if their number is still overwhelming."

Xinweimustard's breath was a little tiny, and he swallowed his mouth hard to make a sound. He said hoarsely and heavily: "so it gives me a feeling They are only retreating on their own to avoid too many casualties. "

"That's why you want to completely block the blockhouse and stay here for help."

Looking at the soldiers of the nomadic army who have expended a lot of physical strength in the rear moving all the stone bars and other things out of the watchtower and starting to completely block the look of the watchtower, Lin Xi thought and looked at Xin Weijie seriously and said: "you can't be sure whether they are hiding in the mountain forest, waiting for us to go out, or waiting for the more powerful caveman brigade to come. If it is the former, Our response is the most correct. But if it's the latter, if there's a stronger caveman force coming before our reinforcements arrive, then we can hardly resist it. "

"No, you don't know much about the fighting of the army here."

Xin Weijie shook his head and looked at Lin Xi straightforwardly: "it should be safe for us to stay here. Because this is the horde of cave barbarians, the army of cave barbarians, not the unorganized scattered cave barbarians. More than 100 people, for Xue man, it's a very big organization. "

"The mobilization of any army has its strategic significance. Although it's stupid, it's the same. It must have a strategic purpose."

Hearing these words, Lin Xi knew that he was still paying attention to something wrong and unexpected, so he continued to be taught and listened carefully.

"What is the strategic purpose of Xue man's army?"

Xin weimusta himself is trying to think hard, while thinking, he said in a deep voice: "if it is only this team, there is no greater strategic purpose, now it is impossible to eat us hard, if there are other large parts, they must have more important strategic purpose, we are too small for them here There are so many of us that we can't stop their actions It's impossible for them to spend precious time gnawing at our tiny bone. "

"The former style of cave brutes was just like a hammer. They knocked here and there, but they could not move or pester. Although they were stupid, they also knew that the mobilization ability of the border army for the troops was not comparable to them for decades. When they fought, they would unconsciously fall into the encirclement of the border army, because some of our border troops would The overall situation of leaders is not comparable to them at all. Now there are such great changes in these cave men. If the leader is so clever, he will understand that the most important thing for the army is not to eliminate more enemies and less enemies, but to accomplish their real purpose. The chief's purpose will certainly be clearer. "

Lin Xi's eyebrows relaxed, and he had fully understood that what Xin Weijie was worried about now was not their life and death, but the real purpose of the army, because it might cause more sacrifice of the soldiers of the cloud and Qin Dynasties.

"I'll have a look."

After giving you a reassuring look at xinweijie and kangqianjue, he did not stop and began to plunder towards the direction of Xueman's previous retreat.
