Chapter 8: Temptation (II)
I gathered all the people I was going to take out, and there were more dwarves and policemen than I had ever been able to bring before. Because Milk didn't trust the old fellow, let me bring more people. So I took a few veterans of my class, and there were originally a few people, but three were killed in the last battle in Georgia, and Zhao Yi followed Nikki back to his old job as a postman after recovering from his injuries.
I discussed the route of the march with the old guy Yugovich. The old guy told me that if I can't do it here, I can only go down the road, and there will be a sharp bend after about three or four hundred meters, where the view from the opposite side is not good, and the distance to cross the road is also short.
In fact, this kind of temptation is a kind of reconnaissance, which is very dangerous, but it has to be done. Because we are in a hurry to attack, we have to figure out what kind of arrangement the other side has. And judging from the fact that our old guy was found to have retreated just now, and the other party sent someone over to test it, the other party is not just thinking about defense. They have a more active plan, and it seems that this is a trick to encircle the point and send reinforcements. They wanted to know how many of us had come and where we were located. It seems that the other side is very sure and eager to engage us, otherwise they can stay there and wait for us to attack and then defend.
The old fellow set off with ten men and me. This time the old guy led the way, and I followed them with the oil bottles, the veterans, the policemen, the dwarves, the president, and the gardener. About ten minutes later we came to that sharp bend.
"This is it." The old man said softly, "After passing is a forest, where it is steep, and the road is not easy to walk, but it is not easy to ambush. If we can climb up slowly, we will go back and probably reach each other's side. ”
"Uncle. How many people do you think will be waiting for us here? What about the two teams that were attacked? I looked across the other side and said.
Yugovich sighed a little depressedly and said: "If you just talk about this, it is estimated that there are at most thirty or forty people." This woods can't hide too many people, and there are other places to guard. But if one is attacked, people from the other directions will come quickly. As for what the two teams are doing now, I don't know. However, judging by Kostic's tone, the situation is not very good. ”
"I'm curious, aren't you in direct contact with those two teams?" I asked.
Yugovich shook his head, "No. It's weird. I can tell you at this moment that I can't contact them directly for many reasons. Only Kostic commanded. ”
"What a strange system. This is very likely to cause mistakes. I said.
Yugovich didn't want to continue the topic, he looked across and said, "I'll go over and have a look." After saying that, he greeted and quickly ran towards the opposite side with people. After about five or six minutes, one of the old guy's men came running back and said, "Follow me." ”
I signal everyone to be careful, the situation here is unknown, and I don't trust the old guy enough, so let everyone else pay attention. But after the road, I soon saw the old guy squatting by the woods by the roadside.
The old fellow pointed to the woods, "It's hard to walk from here." There are basically no roads, and there are no ambushes. If the terrain is gentle and suitable for reading, continue to walk down the road for about a kilometer. That is, another guarded place is at least about a kilometer away from us. ”
"I think you must have a way to go down such a path, uncle." I looked at him.
Yugovich chuckled and said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken you here." That's also my capital, and I've been here for a few years. After saying that, he got up and observed, and after walking forward for a while, he motioned for everyone not to move, and he continued to walk up, and soon disappeared into the darkness.
About twenty minutes later, Yugovic returned. He slowly walked down the woods, but this time with an extra rope in his hand.
"Everybody hold on to this rope. One after the other, one after the other. Carry all the equipment on your back, and if you drop it for a while, you won't be able to pick it up. ”
So we all picked up our guns and quickly checked that everything was loaded. After there were no problems, we all set off.
/
The old guy was the first to follow him, and the third was me, and the oil bottle was behind me. The road here is surprisingly difficult, the slope is very steep, and I don't know how the old guy touched it. I wouldn't have chosen to go like this at all, but because of that I have a little confidence in this operation, at least a little bit in getting closer and observing the opponent.
With the help of ropes, we quickly climbed up and came to a position almost halfway up the hill. After reaching the tree where Yugovich was tethered, he pointed in the direction we had come, "We have a little back along the mountainside, the slope here is a little gentler, and after about three hundred meters of back, we will soon see the ambushers." But you still have to be careful when you go, it's only relative to go, and everyone still follows me. ”
After we all understood, Yugovic spoke again: "You'd better remember where this rope is. If I get into an accident, you'll have to find your own rope and get out of here. ”
The way back halfway up the mountain is indeed difficult to walk, as Yugovic said, and there is still a slight uphill. After three or four hundred meters, we came to a relatively flat place. The flatness here is not flat, in fact, I can't see the specific terrain here, but I just feel that the place under my feet is a lot smoother.
Yugovich stopped and motioned for everyone to stop, he looked around, looked up at the sky, and motioned for me to stay with him and the rest of the people.
I followed him out and found myself near a cliff, and Jugovich pointed to a very slight voice at the bottom of the cliff and said, "Below." The person on the other side should be below. Then he pointed to our left, "That's where we came from." ”
I looked down and there was darkness below and I couldn't see anything. I turned around and said softly, "Is there a wide view here?" ”
"It should be good." Yugovic replied, "From here you should be able to see the people hiding underneath." However, there are more trees. ”
"Can you go down from here to below?" I then asked.
Yugovic looked to my right, "Wait for me to go over and see, it should be okay." It seems that the terrain is slightly declining over there, and there should be a place to go down. You stay here and don't move. I'll go over and have a look. ”
After about ten minutes, Yugovic cautiously touched it back, "There's a small crack there, you can jump over it and go around underneath." However, the slope is so steep that it is almost impossible to hide. ”
I nodded and said, "As long as you can see down here and you can go down from here, that's fine." Shall we go over and see how long their line is, and how many people are in ambush? ”
Yugovic shook his head and said, "It's better not to move now." As I said, it's not easy to walk down, and if you hit rocks or something along the way, they're likely to be spotted below when they're so close. We'll wait until dawn to see. ”
I nodded in understanding, and left the cliff with him, back where the others had been.
"Uncle. I'm ready to do it at dawn. Break through from here, leave some people on the front and there to feint and contain, the main attack here, do you think it can work? I asked.
Jugovic thought for a moment and said, "The opponent may also make a tentative attack on that side. As long as there are no big problems, I think this can be used as an attack point. ”
"Then what time do you think it's appropriate?" I then asked.
Jugovic looked at the sky and said, "The weather should be good at dawn." According to the current season, you can see things clearly at five o'clock, and it is more appropriate to start at four or five o'clock. ”
"Good." I nodded, "Uncle." I'm going to ask Milk to give me three more men with combat experience, and we have a total of twenty people to take charge of the attack. ”
Yugovic nodded when I said this, "No problem." But we have to move fast. I think you know it's not just us
Trying to kill them. They want to eat us too. ”
"Understood." I said and looked at Yugovich and said, "Uncle, then please take me back, let's discuss it with Milk again and bring someone over." ”
