That night, the convoy hid in a mountain recess. Fortunately, so many horned carriages were blocked by the surrounding trees, otherwise they might have been exposed. At this time, Wood and others were sitting together, and no one caused any disturbance in the dark night.
Bonfire, they seemed to be discussing something at this time.
Sal said:
"Now that the Gangze people have begun searching the mountains, it is becoming increasingly difficult for us to hide."
Zorro said:
"That's right, Sal and I checked the surrounding road conditions today and have already killed 5 of the mountain-searching teams. According to this process, we are likely to be exposed."
After listening to the report of the two people, everyone frowned. If there is a fight, everyone is really not afraid of the Gangze people, but what will happen to the food? If there really is a fight, everyone can stay safe, but no one dares to guarantee the safety of the food.
.
At this time Andy said to himself:
"I think it's really difficult. If I were the commander-in-chief of Gangze, I would order the mountains to be set on fire. The people of Gangze are not afraid of being burned, but they are afraid of our food and grass."
As soon as everyone heard Andy speaking out his thoughts, Laura hurriedly said:
"Shut up, what if Gangze really orders the mountain to be burned?"
Everyone looked at Andy with resentful eyes, and Andy lowered his head in grievance, but Wood suddenly thought of a good idea. The suggestion Andy said was indeed good, and then Wood said:
"What a good idea. If the Gangze people don't set the fire, we will help them set it."
Everyone was stunned, and Palu said hurriedly:
"Set fire, Wood, don't you want to destroy yourself?"
Wood ignored Palu, but stood up and looked around. Wood stretched out his hand as if feeling something. Everyone saw that Wood was so strange, and they all became curious, and Andy hurriedly said:
"Boss, I just said it casually, don't take it seriously!"
Laura also spoke:
"Boss, if we set fire, we can escape, but the grain truck cannot escape so easily."
Then Wood squatted down and drew something. When he finished drawing, he said:
"We are here. Gangze's army has surrounded us, and we have to get here tomorrow morning. The reinforcements from the sect will join us tomorrow. But in the current situation, we cannot escape with the grain truck at all, so
We can set fire while blocking Gangze's pursuit, and we can escape directly in this direction."
After Wood finished speaking, Palu refused directly and said:
"No, this is too risky. Why don't we choose a few people to distract the pursuers, and we can escape separately."
Wood explained:
"It's impossible. Gangze's mission is to find the grain truck. Even if they find our bait, they won't care about it. Instead, it will expose the location of the grain truck."
At this time, only Sir Ma responded. Sir Ma nodded and said:
"This method is indeed feasible!"
Everyone looked at Sir Ma in confusion, and Sir Ma continued:
"The wind is blowing from the southeast now. We have to go northwest. The fire will not burn us. As long as we set fire while walking, Gangze's pursuers and the ambush troops on both sides will not be able to approach us on a large scale. By then we will
We will definitely reach the pick-up location safely.”
Now everyone understood, and then they all looked at Wood. It was Wood who came up with this idea, and everyone was waiting for Wood to give the order.
Wood stood up hurriedly and said:
"Andy, Susan, and Kerry, the three of you will set fire to the car while the others drive on."
Then everyone started to take action. After a while, a fire began to burst into the sky nearby. The fire spread quickly and covered the entire forest in a short time.
The commander-in-chief of Gangze's surprise attack force was laughing like crazy while looking at the fires all over the mountains in the distance, and while laughing, he said to himself:
"Ahaha! Why didn't I think of it? Hahaha, let's see how you hide it. You want to transport the food to the Fire City. Just dream! Hahahaha!"
Just when Commander Gangze was happy, a guard hurriedly came up and said:
"Commander, all the ambushing troops were blocked by fire. They asked when to assemble!"
"Gather?" Commander Gangze said happily:
"What are you gathering for? Do you think the grain transport convoy can escape this fire? Let them wait until the fire is extinguished and go into the mountain to search for corpses. By the way! If you ask them again who set the fire, I will give him a big credit!"
The guard turned around and left after receiving the order, but after a long time, the guard came back to report:
"Commander, we did not set this fire."
Commander Gangze sneered and said:
"It wasn't us who set it up, or they did it themselves. Forget it, since they don't want to take credit, I won't force it."
At this moment, a small sergeant major from Gangze rushed to the commander-in-chief. After seeing the commander-in-chief, this man bowed and said:
"Commander, there is something wrong with this fire!"
Commander Gangze asked disapprovingly:
"What's the problem!"
The young sergeant major said:
"Commander, judging from the intensity of the fire, the fire started in that direction, and now it has covered the entire southeast, while there is no fire at all in the northwest. But the strange thing is that the northwest has also started to catch fire, but the fire is burning.
It's very slow, but this fire just blocks the connection between our armies. If the enemy breaks out from the northwest, we should take precautions in advance."
Commander Gangze listened to what this man said indifferently, and then said casually:
"Okay, according to you, this fire was probably set by the enemy, right?"
The young sergeant major said:
"Very possible!"
Commander Gangze said disdainfully:
"Do you think those people are stupid? They set fire to their own escape route?"
The young sergeant major had a troubled expression on his face. Seeing that the commander did not believe him, the sergeant major suddenly knelt down and said:
"Commander, please give me a team of people. I can take them to check it out!"
Commander Gangze was originally in a good mood. After the sergeant major persisted, the good mood was gone. However, Commander Gangze still gave the sergeant major a team of people. The number was not much, a hundred people.
.
Wood and others were driving the convoy as fast as they could. It should be early in the morning, and there should still be three hours before the rendezvous. Now everyone felt hope. As long as they persisted for three more hours, then their
Your efforts are not in vain.
But at this moment, a group of Gangze soldiers suddenly appeared on the hills in the distance. When these people saw the grain transport convoy, they turned around and ran away. Wood and others also reacted quickly. Everyone hurriedly started to pursue them, but they were about to catch up.
At that moment, someone in the group blew the horn, and everyone was dumbfounded.
Seeing that the situation had changed, Wood quickly ordered to abandon the pursuit, then returned to the convoy and ordered to move forward at full speed.
When Commander Gangze heard the horn, he was completely stunned. At this time, he could not completely believe that this was true. Could it be that the enemy was a fool and actually set fire to his retreat.
Just when Commander Gangze was in a daze, the sergeant major ran back in a hurry, and then said breathlessly:
"Commander! The grain transport convoy has been discovered. It is not far from here. Please give the order to pursue it!"
Only then did Commander Gangze react. He hurriedly ordered the entire army to pursue him. However, he found that there were not many people nearby and the pursuit was of no use at all. The sergeant major said hurriedly:
"Commander, please bring over the ambushing troops in Death Canyon! If it's a little later, it will be over!"
Commander Gangze began to issue mobilization orders in a daze, then looked into the distance and said:
"They must be lunatics to escape in this way."
The sergeant major explained the benefits of doing so. After Commander Gangze listened, he asked blankly:
"What's your name?"
The Sergeant Major of Gangze said:
"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, my name is Dick."
Commander Gangze then said:
"Dick, now I order you to command all nearby troops to pursue and intercept the food transport team in front of Death Canyon. According to what you said, I doubt they will enter Death Canyon. You are right! Everyone knows death.
The canyon is an important ambush point, and they won't be stupid enough to go in by themselves."
Dick then bowed and accepted the appointment.
From today on, Dick, the genius commander of the Gunze Empire, begins to emerge. From today on, the man who has the commander-in-chief of the Gunze Empire officially enters the stage of hegemony. After that, the Magic Empire led by Wood
, the Gunze Empire led by Dick, and the Ice and Snow Empire led by Eva, launched a war of unification that overturned the history of Divine Grace, and Dick was also one of the only commanders who could compete with Wood.
