Chapter 807 The Patient Hunter

When Delgado was learning hunting techniques when he was young, an old hunter once taught him a truth. The patience of a hunter is as important as the skill of hunting wild animals. Without enough patience, you cannot become a successful hunter. Delgado has always believed that

Keep this in mind and keep this characteristic to this day.

Delgado asked Lopez to come forward and give the departure order to the two people in the last team, and then he followed them and slipped down the city wall along the rope. Because he had personally planned the breakout route, he could not see the two people in front even in the dark night.

Although he was a cannon fodder, he could still accurately grasp their direction and approximate speed. Delgado fell far behind and carefully observed the surroundings. He knew that there must be an enemy night sentry somewhere nearby.

Lurking, since the opponent has deployed troops to besiege the city during the day, it is natural to think that people in the city may arrange for people to sneak out at night to ask for help. Delgado's plan is to paralyze the enemy's nerves and make the opponent think that they have captured all the messengers asking for help.

Then take the opportunity to sneak out.

Before Delgado left the city, sporadic gunshots were heard from the fleeing direction of several other messenger teams. Apparently they had not been able to successfully avoid the encirclement and suppression by the Haihan Army, but it was not yet known whether there was anyone among them.

He was able to successfully escape under the cover of night. However, this was what Delgado expected. The purpose of sending multiple teams to break out from multiple directions was to expose the hidden sentries of the Haihan Army lurking in the night and disrupt the situation at the same time.

Their deployment made it difficult for them to judge the defenders' true intentions and direction of action.

Delgado believes that even if the Haihan Army deploys some combat personnel outside the city, it can only block a few main channels out of the city, and it is unlikely to block the entire area as it did during the day - if the Haihan Army's

If the commander really does that, then probably no one will have enough energy to continue fighting during the day. If Haihan only deploys troops several times his own in the area around Santo Domingo City, there is indeed a high chance that he can be deceived.

Pass. Of course, the one with the greatest chance of success is definitely Delgado himself.

The two people who acted as pathfinder cannon fodder in front seemed to have good luck. They passed two high-risk areas that Delgado expected and were still safe. This made Delgado think that maybe the previous teams had played a role in diverting the tiger away from the mountain.

, and asked the Haihan Army to transfer its limited manpower to other directions to intercept the messengers leaving the city. If they walked a short distance ahead, they would be able to leave the most dangerous area and enter the dense forest. Even if the Haihan Army found their traces, they would not be able to escape.

You may not be able to catch anyone.

However, this idea did not remain in his mind for too long. Just when the two people in front passed between the two bamboo shacks where farmers lived, and then sneaked into the dense forest, a few black figures came out of nowhere.

The place jumped out, and fishing nets were thrown at the panicked two people in different directions. There was no suspense. The two people in shock did not even have time to make a struggle, and were tightly covered by several layers of fishing nets.

In fact, there is absolutely no way to get rid of it.

Delgado didn't know how long these enemies had been lurking in the dark, but it was obvious that their patience was terrifying, because the two cannon fodder he arranged had been lurking in the dark for a full stick of incense before the last step.

Time, and after confirming that there was no movement around them, they took action. Unexpectedly, there were people in the dark places that they did not observe who were more patient, and in the end they could not escape the fate of being trapped prey.

Putting himself in their shoes, if Delgado himself were in the position of cannon fodder, he would probably relax his vigilance after observing for such a long time and choose to take a risk. He felt that if these enemy sentries acted as hunters, they would definitely

He will also be a very powerful candidate. Fortunately, he was thoughtful enough and arranged for two people to go out in front of the mine, drawing out all the opponents' manpower lurking here. Delgado believed that in such a sudden attack just now,

In an emergency situation, it is unlikely that someone would be lurking in the darkness nearby and not activate.

These Haihan soldiers, who had been lurking for a long time, were sure that the target of their capture could not escape, so they lit torches and slowly surrounded them. The leading soldier looked at the prey in the net and muttered: "There is no real owner."

…”

The soldiers in the special operations battalion now know that the target of this mission is the Spaniards. Although few of them have dealt with the Spaniards before, through popular science from their superiors, they also know that the Spaniards and the Portuguese look similar.

And these soldiers, who are mainly of Annan origin, are certainly no strangers to the Portuguese. After all, before Haihan entered Annan, almost all the country's coastal ports were a paradise for the Portuguese.

However, since the landing, the special operations battalion has not captured even a single Spaniard. All the people captured so far are indigenous people from various parts of Southeast Asia who have surrendered to Spain, and there are even Chinese people. Faced with this situation, the special operations battalion has

Each company and platoon was secretly competing to see who could capture the Spanish prisoners first. In order to boost morale, Takahashi Minami also offered a reward of one hundred yuan.

Since these two cannon fodder are not Spanish, they are not of much value in the eyes of the soldiers of the special operations battalion. Several soldiers slowly untied the fishing nets on their bodies. At this time, one of them took out the dagger he was carrying with his backhand and prepared to fight to the death.

, but before he could dance the dagger, a Haihan soldier hit him on the wrist with a stick. There was a muffled sound, and the man screamed, fearing that his wrist bone was broken by this blow.

"Search carefully! Don't let them hide other murder weapons on their bodies!" the leading Haihan soldier ordered.

Several other people took ropes and tied their hands and feet before searching their bodies. Sure enough, a dagger with almost the same appearance was also found on the other person's body.

"They don't have much ability, but they have a lot of tricks!" The leader sneered and said, "Take them away and escort them back to pay their dues. Although they are not Spanish, the bounty of these two guys is enough for the brothers to have a few good meals together."

Already."

At this time, someone took out the handcuffs and shackles and replaced the ropes used to tie them up. Someone held a torch to lead the way, and everyone pushed the two prisoners and slowly marched toward the Haihan camp in the east.

Seeing this group of people escorting the prisoners farther and farther away, Delgado was secretly glad that his method worked. This group of people will definitely not turn back here in a short time, at least until they finish interrogating the prisoners and learn that Delgado

Countermeasures will be taken only after he has made a comprehensive plan. At this time, it is not difficult to cross the blockade from this place. However, out of caution, he still waited for another stick of incense to ensure that this

There were indeed no other enemies lurking near the passage, so he quietly moved his body, bent down and rushed out from the same position, quickly rushing through the most dangerous open space and rushing into the forest.

Although Delgado has had many adventures and even desperate experiences in the past, he has never felt so nervous that his heart would jump just by walking through a no man's land. These Haihan soldiers are undoubtedly extremely powerful.

Hunter, but he was still less patient than himself. After confirming that he had entered a safe zone, Delgado stopped to adjust his breathing, took out a water bag to add some water, and then re-determined the direction of travel.

On the way down, he still had to deal with various poisonous insects in the forest and avoid the native tribes in the mountains, but compared to the difficult Haihan army, these guys were obviously much easier to deal with.

At almost the same time, in the Haihan camp, Gao Qiaonan had not rested yet and was listening to reports from his subordinates on arresting enemy personnel leaving the city.

"...According to the prisoners' confessions, there are a dozen of them, organized into teams of two to three people. After leaving the city, they break out according to different marching routes. Their mission is to break through our army's blockade and then cross

Shanshan went to Jilong Port to ask for help. In addition, each of their teams had a letter, which had been read by the translator. It contained the identity certificate of the messenger, which saved us a lot of trouble in checking the identity. According to our current arrest situation

, no one on the list escaped, but three of them were shot by the brothers and died on the spot..."

"Are there any Spaniards among the prisoners?" Takahashi Minami asked. He didn't care about the life or death of these people, but he was more concerned about their identities.

"No, they are basically Nanyang natives, but there are a few who understand Chinese."

"Since they can think of breaking out in a scattered way, there must be a plan and a plan. Have you caught the person who led this operation?" Minami Takahashi was not dazzled by the victory, and quickly grasped the key point.

"No..." The officer in charge of the interrogation also looked confused: "According to the prisoners' account, the person who planned and directed this operation was designated by the Spanish officer in the city, but this person did not go out of the city with them, and his name was not

Appears in several letters we already have."

"That means this person may be acting alone?" Takahashi Minami frowned: "And we haven't caught him yet."

"Maybe he never left the city at all..." His subordinates had different views on Takahashi Minami's inference: "If he didn't come out, of course we wouldn't be able to catch him."

Takahashi Minami shook his head silently and said: "Why did he send so many teams of messengers? It was because he expected that we would deploy a blockade outside the city, so he wanted to disperse and break through. But even so, there is no guarantee that someone can break through our blockade.

, if it were me doing this, I would definitely personally participate in the mission just to be on the safe side. Look at the map..."

As Takahashi Minami said, he pointed out several places on the map where he would capture the courier: "Just as we expected when we made the plan, they are all passages into the mountains, and the timing of their departure in batches is also very clever.

, if I hadn’t arranged enough manpower, it would easily have resulted in a situation where one cares about one thing and the other is at the expense of the other. I don’t believe that the person who can formulate this action plan will leave the result to luck. If my prediction is good, he probably

We have entered the mountains."

"But the main passages into the mountain are all targeted by us. How could he sneak past us silently?"

"No matter how hard you stare, there will still be loopholes. Think about it, what did you do next after you caught someone?"

"Take the prisoners back for interrogation..." When the officer said this, he suddenly realized what Takahashi Minami was referring to: "Battal Commander, are you saying that after we take the prisoners and leave, the real owner will appear in the same place?"

"After all, our manpower is limited, and it's impossible to arrange several groups of people to squat in one place in the middle of the night." Takahashi Minami said with regret, "It's so sparse and sparse!"

"Didn't the reconnaissance platoon already enter the mountain in the afternoon? Maybe they still have a chance to fill this hole." The officer still had hope for this.

"I arranged for the reconnaissance platoon to go into the mountain. I wanted them to explore the activities of the nearby indigenous tribes first. I did not give them the task of intercepting the Spanish messenger... But it is hard to say. This matter can only depend on God's will." Takahashi.

Nan currently has no way to contact the reconnaissance platoon that has entered the mountain, and naturally it is impossible to issue new instructions to it. As for whether they can meet the Spanish courier who escaped in the mountain, it will only be left to chance.

For a soldier, it is really unpleasant to leave the outcome of the battle to God. As a commander, what you pursue is the pleasure of being able to control the changes in the battlefield, but an uncontrollable situation like this is indeed difficult.

It was inevitable. Although Takahashi Minami felt helpless, he could only accept the fact. Fortunately, judging from the fighting situation on the first day, Haihan had already taken the complete initiative and was very hopeful to win with extremely low casualties.

Santo Domingo City. Before the messenger moved in from Jilong Port to reinforce the troops, Gao Qiaonan thought that he would have enough time to conquer the fortress here.

Taking a step back, even if the courier can get to the chicken coop within a day or two, and the reaction speed there is fast enough, and people and horses are immediately organized to come to the rescue, Gao Qiaonan is confident that he will be repelled or even annihilated. Regardless of water or land

, Takahashi Minami made corresponding arrangements in advance in order to prevent the opponent's reinforcements from stealing his escape route.

But all the worries seemed to be unnecessary. Early the next morning, the reconnaissance platoon that entered the mountain suddenly returned to the special operations battalion's base camp two miles east of Santo Domingo City ahead of schedule. And they were not empty-handed.

When they came back, they also captured a dejected Spanish soldier - even though the man was dressed like a local native, the reconnaissance platoon found a letter written in Spanish on his body.

"...We met this guy when we were getting water from a mountain spring in the morning. He ran away as soon as he saw us. When I saw his reaction, I knew he was not a native of the mountains. This bastard ran pretty fast.

, the brothers chased him for two miles and almost ten miles up the mountain road before they caught him, caught him and searched him, hehe, there is indeed something fishy!" The scout platoon leader proudly boasted about his experience to Gao Qiaonan.
