Chapter 901 Murderous Intent Hidden
"Captain Bai, what exactly is going on here?"
Chen Dong pointed blankly at the mountains of black cow carcasses below.
At this point, the matter came to an end, and with the opportunity to take a breather and rest, I was finally able to ask my doubts.
What secret is hidden in this absurd hunting that lasted for three hours?
Hear the words.
Meng Dabiao, Sun Kong and Zhou Yao all looked at Bai Qi.
Bai Qi rubbed a handful of snow off his beard, then stuffed it into his mouth, and while chewing, he said: "Most of the Yi tribes outside the territory make a living by herding. Once, a herd of cattle rushed to the town.
The city, our defenders did not pay attention, and eventually the killer hidden among the cattle climbed up the wall. That night, three hundred soldiers died!"
Boom!
A word of thunder.
Chen Dong and the other four were stunned on the spot.
Using the cover of cattle, hidden killers climbed up the city walls to hunt.
Such means are really unpredictable!
After all, who would have thought that there might be a killer hidden among the charging cattle?
The probability of a herd of bison appearing in a deserted land like the northern border is really high!
You must know the difference between humans and animals, that is, where there are many people, there are few animals, and where there are few people, there are many animals.
Using cattle as cover is perfect in a place like the northern border.
"That night, if the Golden Guards hadn't reacted quickly and immediately brought heavy troops to kill the killers who climbed up the wall, and also killed tens of thousands of cattle, maybe it wouldn't have been as simple as just killing 300 soldiers."
Bai Qi's voice was a little heavy. While chewing the snow water, he looked at Chen Dong and the others: "So, do you still think the shooting just now is unreasonable?"
"Perhaps...if we rummage among the cattle carcasses below, we can find the killer's body?"
Chen Dong's voice was low, and when he looked at the mountains of cattle carcasses below, his eyes changed.
In siege warfare, the most important thing is to seize the initiative at the top of the city.
Once someone tears down the wall defense and spreads it point by point, it will be a tearing and rapid invasion.
If a city is occupied and the city gate is opened, it will be a disaster!
The three hundred soldiers who died are really insignificant compared to the possible final results!
After receiving Bai Qi's explanation, Chen Dong no longer felt that the shooting just now was absurd, but felt that it was necessary.
"Are all the Yi tribes outside the Northern Territory so skilled?" Meng Dabiao said in a deep voice.
Zhou Yao and Sun Kong also frowned and looked at the mountains of cattle carcasses below.
At this moment, everyone became solemn.
If the cattle had not been shot immediately and allowed to run wild, perhaps at some point of carelessness, a sharp knife would have been placed across the neck.
In the biting cold wind and staying up late, no one can guarantee that they will be on high alert at all times, even tigers may take a nap.
"call……"
Bai Qi let out a heavy breath and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, we can go out to collect the cattle tomorrow morning, and have a full cattle feast. In addition, with this shooting, we can also end the watch early."
The mission is over, it’s time to change shifts, damn... I’m freezing to death!”
Hear the words.
Chen Dong and others all showed smiles.
Three hours of continuous high-intensity shooting is a huge drain on every soldier.
Meng Dabiao, Sun Kong and Zhou Yao were suffering from soreness in their arms and could not lift them up, and it was not limited to them.
After experiencing such a heavy consumption, the vigilance and combat effectiveness of the soldiers staying on top of the city have been greatly reduced. Changing defenses is the best way!
Bai Qi looked back at the cow carcass below, then spit in his mouth.
He said with a ferocious smile: "Damn it, those Yi fools, do you really think that if you succeed once, you can succeed again and again? They haven't been shot to death, they haven't been trampled to death by cows, it's such a cold day, even if they stay up all night, they'll freeze to death.
, if there is really a corpse tomorrow morning, it would be a good time to hang it on the wall to shock those Yi tribes outside the territory!"
Chen Dong smiled slightly and didn't think there was anything excessive in Bai Qi's words.
It's always like this on the battlefield.
Even this was just a scene he saw from a peeping eye.
If you don't become more ruthless, how can you deter the Yi people from outside the region?
If we don’t scare them and treat them cruelly and cold-bloodedly, how can we just let them go south?
By then, will those people be kind to the common people in this territory?
Obviously impossible!
On the battlefield, the killing is decisive and thunderous, this is how it should be!
really.
Just like Bai Qi said.
Waited for about ten minutes.
Then one team after another went up to the wall and began to change defenses.
Chen Dong and others followed Bai Qi down the city wall and returned to the barracks.
As soon as they entered the house and took off their clothes, Meng Dabiao, Zhou Yao and Sun Kong climbed directly onto the bed and fell asleep.
Already shivering from the cold, coupled with the high-intensity exertion, the three of them were already exhausted.
"It will take some time for them to adapt."
Bai Qi shook his head helplessly, turned to Chen Dong and smiled and said, "It's you who surprised me."
"how?"
Chen Dong shrugged: "I only rely on my own strength to perform like this."
"No, it's because of your calmness and composure in dealing with things. Many times, even excellent soldiers will move awkwardly and appear panicked when they arrive in an unfamiliar environment."
Bai Qi pointed at the three Meng Dabiao who were sleeping soundly on the bed: "Just like just now, you were the first to follow me with the bow and arrow before the three of them. This is your performance!"
Chen Dong smiled noncommittally.
Suddenly, Bai Qi changed the topic.
Looking at Chen Dong mysteriously: "Speaking of your strength, you have never been curious about why your strength has increased so fast?"
Chen Dong was startled, and then said helplessly: "I was curious, but I couldn't find the reason."
Bai Qi was stunned for two seconds and shrugged: "Maybe you suddenly had an enlightenment. Anyway, some geniuses may have been mediocre for half their lives, but suddenly one day they had an enlightenment and became famous."
"It shouldn't be me."
Chen Dong denied Bai Qi's guess. He never thought he was a genius.
If he is a genius, his first twenty years may have some color.
"Um?!"
Suddenly, Bai Qi let out a cry of surprise, his eyes flashed with light, and he stared out the window of the barracks.
Chen Dong was startled. He turned around and saw a figure standing outside the window. However, because of the ice on the window, he couldn't see the figure clearly.
"follow me!"
Just as the two of them looked over, the person standing at the window said softly.
Plop!
Bai Qi knelt on one knee on the spot, lowered his head, clenched his right hand into a fist and placed it on his heart, but did not make a sound.
Chen Dong's expression softened and he walked out of the barracks.
Huo Zhenxiao was standing in front of the window. As Chen Dong walked out, he slowly turned around and looked at Chen Dong.
Huo Zhenxiao smiled slightly: "Follow me, I will start training you starting tonight."
Chen Dong was immediately startled and stared at Huo Zhenxiao strangely: "That's not how the word drill is used, right?"
Huo Zhenxiao: "..."
