Chapter Twenty-Six: Encountering the Enemy
"Boss, you're kidding, aren't you?" The monkey's face was pale, and cold sweat came out.
"Just kidding! Hurry up and give me a patrol ahead. Xi Bai laughed and scolded and kicked the monkey's ass. The monkey pursed his mouth, like a wronged little daughter-in-law, and walked forward step by step.
"Hurry up! When will you be able to finish patrolling like this. Remember to come back and report as soon as you see the enemy, and don't go up alone. Xi Bai first urged, and finally said uneasily. Although he said fiercely, Xi Bai was still very precious to his ten subordinates, this was the prototype of his elite team, and he couldn't easily lose one.
"Haha, monkey, you can go with confidence, even if you can't come back by accident, we will avenge you!" Kong Ming laughed.
"Yes, monkey, we won't forget you." The crowd was in a hurry.
"Damn! You bastards keep me waiting. The monkey roared angrily and sped forward, seemingly speechless to the group of animals behind him.
Xi Bai shook his head and laughed, secretly sighing at the spoof of the system, as an ancient soldier, even the word "rely on" came out.
"Chief, let's go too, although the monkey boy looks clever, but if he encounters a large group of enemy troops, it will be dangerous." Kong Liang said in a deep voice. Although these guys don't seem to be worried about the safety of the monkeys, how can they not be worried as brothers who train together.
"Well, let's go." Xi Bai answered and walked forward with a few people.
The terrain in front of Xiangyang City is very open because it is a battlefield, and it is unobstructed within five miles in front. Further ahead is a small dirt slope that blocks the view, and behind it is the camp where the Mongol army is stationed, but it is impossible to see what is going on behind it.
Therefore, although it is said that Xi Bai has to patrol within ten miles, it is safe for about six or seven miles, and in this range, as long as there is the shadow of the enemy, it will be seen, and then he will choose to run or fight, and he will come in a hurry, and the only one who really wants to patrol is only behind the dirt slope.
Since Tang San and the others were all infantry, Xi Bai didn't recruit Chiyun, because this distance was still relatively safe, so Xi Bai chatted with a few people, which could be regarded as enhancing the relationship, anyway, there were monkeys watching in front of him.
Xi Bai was thinking, if he got them horses, would they be able to ride them? After all, what he wants is an all-round special forces, and he needs to be able to ride horses and shoot arrows. "Looks like we'll have to capture a few horses!" Xi Bai said secretly.
The speed of several people was much slower than that of the monkeys, and before they had gone far, the monkeys had already climbed up the dirt slope.
"Boss, let's hurry up, the monkey was relatively safe in our sight just now, and now out of our sight, if there is any danger, then the support may be too late, and we don't know what is behind the dirt slope." Kong Liang groaned.
"Well, Kong Liang is right, let's hurry up, I don't want to reduce the staff so soon." Xi Bai nodded, and at the same time glanced at Kong Liang, feeling a little impressed by the younger brother in the twins, although the other party is just a small soldier, but this kind of calm character makes people feel stable, and he is also quite wise.
Thinking of this, Xi Bai looked at his brother Kong Ming in the twins again, compared to his younger brother's calmness, his brother seemed a little lively, and he lacked a temperament, Xi Bai couldn't help but think of the Wolong military division in the ancient Three Kingdoms period, although the two had the same name, but compared to the generation of demons who had earth-shattering, weeping ghosts and gods, and knew astronomy and geography, the Kong Ming next to him was not a little bit worse!
However, Xi Bai didn't plan to find a super military division who could lead thousands of troops, he wanted elite soldiers with outstanding strength, so it didn't matter if this Kong Ming was another Kong Ming or not.
In Xi Bai's distraction, several people also climbed to the top of the dirt slope, but the scene in front of them was just facing each other, but Xi Bai couldn't help frowning. Behind the dirt slope was a rather lush grove, and it was not to be seen from behind, but from the curling smoke, you could guess that there was a camp of the Mongol army behind it.
"Oops, that monkey guy won't go into the woods!" Kong Liang's tone was a little anxious.
Xi Bai's heart sank, the range he wanted to patrol did have to enter the woods for a distance, but he naturally understood that even if they were together, they had to be cautious when they wanted to enter this woods, let alone the monkey alone, but he didn't know that there would be woods behind this dirt slope!
In fact, this is also because Xi Bai has too little experience, or he is not a qualified leader, in the face of the unknown, the decision he made is still too inconsiderate, since he doesn't know what is behind the dirt slope, he should tell the monkey, let him wait here, or come back to report first, "It's still too young!" Xi Bai secretly blamed himself, but it was too late to say this, and he could only pray that the monkey would not have an accident, otherwise he would reduce his troops without even seeing the enemy, which is really disadvantageous.
"Boss, what now? Monkeys can't have accidents, right? Meng Liang also saw that there was something wrong with the matter, and the faces of the rest of the people were also a little unpleasant.
"Calm down first, I don't know what's going on yet, don't mess with yourself, the monkey doesn't necessarily have an accident, wait and talk about it." Xi Bai groaned, but he himself didn't believe it, the reason why the Mongolian army kept this forest was naturally to prevent the surprise attack of the Xiangyang army, and it would be strange to say that there were no spies from the Mongolian army in the woods. However, Xi Bai is now the head of several people, others can be anxious, but he can't be anxious, and he has to stabilize his position.
"Look, it looks like a monkey." Kong Ming suddenly shouted.
Everyone hurriedly looked up, only to see a thin figure suddenly burst out of the woods, and after a closer look, who was it not a monkey?
"This kid, let's worry about it in vain, isn't it okay!" Meng Liang shook his head and smiled.
"No, it seems that something has happened, and someone is chasing the monkey behind!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Kong Liang's face changed and he shouted.
The monkey's face was frightened, and as he ran, he looked behind him from time to time, and his speed became faster and faster, as if someone was chasing him from behind.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed in the woods, and Xi Bai's heart sank, at this time, apart from the Mongolian army, he really couldn't think of anything else.
I saw a black shadow burst out of the woods, but it was three horses, and it could be seen from the costumes of the people on the horses that these three were Mongolian soldiers.
PS: Changed the cover, uh...... The future editor said that the previous cover was too ugly, and to be honest, Yi Yu also felt ugly, but there was no way, Yi Yu himself could only do that. The current cover is made by the future boss to help find someone, thank you! Anyway, for the sake of such a beautiful cover, can you collect it? Can you give a few flowers to encourage me?
