Chapter 1078: The Three Armies Dispatched
This is something I never expected, because at present, the only known existing forces in Dongkou Province are the wanderers, voodoo and us, even if you count the people of Taoyuan Island, there is no one who can save Zhao Youkuang.
Therefore, I also asked in particular what happened to these people who were looking for information.
The people who found out this news belonged to the three bounty hunters under Lu Ming's command, and they claimed that the news came directly from the wanderers themselves near the Life 2 stronghold.
Although those wanderers appeared near the Life No. 2 stronghold, they did not belong to the life No. 2 loiterings, let alone under Qin Yao's jurisdiction, but rushed from the Qinhuai Mountains to the Life No. 2 to inform the heralds of the loitering in the stronghold to participate in the resistance.
Since the bounty hunters who were looking for the news had already done a good job of disguising the loiters, the heralds mistook them for loiters in the Life II stronghold when they saw the three of them.
The news also came from their mouths, and these heralds ordered the wanderers of the Life No. 2 Stronghold to quickly correct their positions, so that they had better join the Resistance Alliance led by Zhao Youkuang as soon as possible, and arrest those dangerous elements who might participate in the rescue of Qin Yao as soon as possible.
Therefore, those bounty hunters only learned about Qin Yao's rescue, and according to the three bounty hunters, the reliability of this news must be very high, because they later inquired about more people near the Qinhuai Mountain Range, and the answers they got were basically the same.
After all, it is also big news that Qin Yao was tried to be robbed of the entire wanderer, so it is definitely not fake, if you insist that there may be an accident somewhere, it means that the whole thing is a strategy set up by Zhao Youkuang, but I really don't understand what such a strategy can be for......
After explaining so much, it is actually just a sentence, there are really people who planned to save Qin Yao before us.
So......
With this prerequisite, what can those who save Qin Yao for?
First of all, they saved Qin Yao's living people, so they must use some of Qin Yao's own excellent qualities to do things for them, and so far, the biggest trait that Qin Yao has shown in my eyes is his superb ability to command his subordinates.
So......
This seems to indicate that the people who rescued Qin Yao may also be "a group of people".
Could it be ...... Are the total number of these people larger than our current "legion"?
It's not impossible, after all, I don't have enough people on hand, but if that's the case, why haven't we met them before?
Or is it that the main scope of activities of these people is not in South China, North China, and the current Dongkou Province? Then if they are in other provinces, how can they know so much about the affairs of Dongkou Province? So much so that even Qin Yao's imprisoned location can be found out?
This last message brought back by the bounty hunters, in addition to reminding me that there were other people spying on Qin Yao, also reminded me that I must be extra careful when rescuing Qin Yao, because since someone has already failed to hijack once, it means that the wanderers will definitely greatly increase their guarding of Qin Yao.
In this regard, those loyal guards under Qin Yao urged me to start acting as soon as possible, because once Zhao Youkuang found out that things were out of control, he was very likely to kill Qin Yao.
After all, it has been more than half a day since the post, and with Zhao Youkuang's eloquence and scheming, it is very possible to change people's views of Qin Yao during this time, maybe Qin Yao will not need Zhao Youkuang to do it, and he will have been killed alive by "public opinion".
I know the seriousness of it, but that doesn't mean I'm going to do anything to save her.
In the final analysis, although Qin Yao is very important to me, I can't let a large number of our people get involved in danger just because she is alone, if I want to save people, I have to wait until nine out of ten are stable.
And this timing ...... It still has to rely on the attack of the Vodoo Church to "cooperate".
I quickly set the first step of the battle order, I led a part of the bounty hunters, plus He Yunsong, Amy and Chenxi, and then brought those Qin Yao's personal guards members to us as guides, our group of people as the first echelon, first marched towards the vicinity of the Life No. 2 stronghold, on the one hand, we can let the loitering in the Life No. 2 cooperate with us, on the other hand, we can also further investigate the current battle situation on the loitering front, so as to judge the next attack opportunity.
Of course, among the personnel of this first-echelon operation, Duan Xiaoxiao is also indispensable, I originally wanted her to follow the follow-up team to "lead the Chinese army", but Duan Xiaoxiao stubbornly asked to go with me, plus our first-echelon people are likely to enter some mountain and forest areas, and it is inevitable that they will encounter cold, so I finally readily agreed.
And because of Duan Xiaoxiao's joining, it means that those cold freaks in the Evergreen Valley will also march with us to act as the first echelon of people.
Most of them are wary of these cold freaks, but I trust Duan Xiaoxiao very much, and I can actually detect these cold freaks when they are aggressive and hostile, so I'm not worried about this.
In addition to the cold freak, the sentry and the ice flower also began to follow Duan Xiaoxiao like a fart, especially the sentry, feeling that it had completely "abandoned" me now, and instead switched to Duan Xiaoxiao's arms.
But that doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't get into the Luna or the Wanderer's side.
The follow-up force consisted of the remaining bounty hunters, all the former members of the Salvation Army led by Bai Ye, a small number of survivors who could fight, a small number of Burmese Gu masters sent by Gochai, and about a quarter of the semi-infected.
This is our main force, and once the rescue operation is established, they will have to fight with the wanderers or voodoo teams in the eastern part of the Qinhuai Mountains, that is, in the mountain range adjacent to the Life 2 stronghold, and be sure to divert the attention of the wanderers.
This plan of action seems quite simple to say, because there is only one goal, but it will definitely be quite difficult to really implement, and there will even be casualties, but this is also inevitable, and the scale of the battle is no longer the previous level of a dozen or dozens of people...... Now that we are close to a real war, it is no longer possible for me to guarantee that my men will be unscathed.
And if I want to accomplish this, I must be able to know people well, and among our group of people, the most suitable person to serve as the commander of the "Chinese army" is actually Zhao Tian.
First of all, he already has excellent combat command skills, secondly, he is also quite familiar with the terrain around the Qinhuai Mountains, and more importantly, he has no living space in the wanderers now, so even from a selfish point of view, he should work for us, and it seems that I can put his loyalty aside for the time being......
But even so, it is impossible for me to hand over all the power to him alone, I finally chose to let Lu Ming take charge of the overall command of the follow-up army, and Zhao Tian marched with the army as a staff officer, only responsible for planning, and the final decision is still in Lu Ming's hands.
Lu Ming seemed surprised that I had entrusted him with this important task, and I directly told him that he had already won my absolute trust in the series of events that had happened before, and as for whether he would fail me, it was his own business.
It looked like Lu Ming was about to cry, and I couldn't help but feel that I had more or less learned some "the art of leadership".
With the vanguard and the Chinese army, the troops behind the palace are naturally indispensable, but because I have too few chess pieces at hand, after sending two large forces of military force one after another, the remaining available manpower is extremely scarce.
In the end, I could only ask Xia Ran to bring a group of survivors with average combat effectiveness to act as a logistics team in the rear, who was responsible for transporting some supplies for us on the one hand, and bringing back the wounded we had withdrawn from the front line on the other hand.
The camp was guarded by Chen Mengyu, Zhou Qiqi and Lan Xing, as well as a large number of survivors and semi-infected people, but they could not just "sit still", but after we set off, they should quickly carry out a carpet search for the surrounding information, in order to eliminate all hidden dangers, and once they found danger, they had to send someone to notify me as soon as possible.
In addition, Liu Yong was also left in the camp by me, because his role in the next operation no longer matters, because I don't expect people like Liu Yong to be of any help in the battle, and his identity is not convincing among the wanderers now, so I decided that it would be better for Chen Mengyu and others to watch him than let him cause chaos on the front line.
Moreover, with the containment of the Gu worms over there in the Evergreen Valley, Liu Yong will definitely not dare to act indiscriminately in the camp, and I can also let Chen Mengyu and them focus on monitoring this kid's movements.
For the means of communication, we have actually conducted many researches, the simplest method is naturally the spiritual communication and dialogue brought by lucid dreaming, but this means is far from reaching the standard of proficiency, and secondly, the climate and environment in Dongkou Province are really not friendly enough to psionic users, and most people still can't use the effects of psionic energy smoothly.
And the communication of lucid dreams is done by both parties, so this kind of long-distance communication is still useless even if I can use psionic energy effectively alone.
In addition, I also want Duan Xiaoxiao to try the communication of cold qi, but the principle is still the same as spiritual energy, and the communication of cold qi seems to need to be completed by both parties...... I couldn't understand the mystery of cold communication for a while, so this method also failed.
However, there is no way to be endless, Duan Xiaoxiao finally brought me a good way to transmit information, what she used was those cold weirdos, Duan Xiaoxiao could macroscopically control the action path of a cold weirdo at a considerable distance within a certain period of time, as long as we wrote the information on paper and tied it to the body of the chilling weirdo, as long as we ensured that this chilling weirdo did not go missing, then the transmission of information could be completed.
Since the Chill Geek is already as fast as a vehicle when moving at full speed, the speed at which this information is transmitted is also within an acceptable range.
After all the initial plans were decided, the three of us began to march towards the Life No. 2 stronghold, and on the way to the Life No. 2, we also encountered many small groups of wanderers who had passed by before, and the loiters in these communities were not particularly enthusiastic about Zhao Youkuang's alliance because they were still far away from the Qinhuai Mountains, but because of Qin Yao's previous efforts, their relationship with the Life No. 2 stronghold was better.
Therefore, when we passed by these loitering communities, we implemented a "annexation policy", which was to give these loitering people two choices, either to join us with all the supplies, or to be exterminated by us on the spot.
To my surprise, none of the wanderers opposed us, and these people, after seeing our "army overwhelming the border", collectively chose to surrender, or rather, ...... They collectively chose to help Qin Yao.
I can't figure out if they are afraid of us or if they love Qin Yao......
But in any case, with the addition of these wanderers along the way, our front army has grown a lot.
However, He Yunsong reminded me that in the next operation, I must not let these new wanderers participate, and I naturally understand this truth, and let them participate, firstly, it will make it more difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and secondly, I dare not guarantee their absolute loyalty.
So I simply sent these wanderers to the rear to support the team behind the palace.
In the end, we arrived at the Life No. 2 stronghold at dusk when the sun was about to set, because there were members of Qin Yao's personal guards in our team, and although these people were "entourage" in front of Qin Yao, they were definitely "big names" in front of the people in the stronghold, plus a few of us who had been to the Life No. 2 stronghold before , and the purpose of rescuing Qin Yao together, so that these wanderers in the No. 2 Stronghold of Life almost did not reject us in the slightest, and even took the initiative to ask to join the rescue operation.
My attitude towards these wanderers has not changed, they still belong to the category of "strangers" relatively speaking, and it is impossible for me to involve them in the core operation, so I at least warn them that if they want to help save Qin Yao now, the best way is to hold on to Life No. 2 for me, as long as they hold here, they can open up a smooth supply line for us, and the main part of the rescue operation will be left to us to solve it ourselves.
