This is one of the rules when escorting a dart by sending a scout ahead to explore the road. After exploring for twenty or thirty miles, they will turn back once, about a quarter of an hour apart. Once there is no return, then naturally Even if there is a problem in front, then the escort team following behind will know to be on guard.
However, generally speaking, the tour operators who are responsible for exploring the road are all veterans in this way, and accidents rarely happen. Once they sense that something is wrong, they will turn around and run away. It is undoubtedly quite serious to go without any return for two consecutive trips like this. It's a rare thing, and this third expedition is actually the last one.
At this time, the sun in the sky has just begun to slowly slide a little towards the west. It is not difficult for experienced people to judge that it is probably the last moment of the last hour, and this period should be this time. Southwest Avenue has the most passenger flow, but in the past quarter of an hour, there were no oncoming pedestrians. In fact, this is enough to explain the problem.
¡°Xilulu~~¡±
¡°Duh duh duh~~¡±
Under the control of the driver, the huge convoy lined up in three columns began the process of slowing down. The Daxia frontier army and the barbarian army marching in front also returned to normal marching from running, and the heavy footsteps were still on the road. It echoed on the ground with great momentum, like a hammer. It was a powerful shock and pressure for anyone.
Without hesitation, all the 150 soldiers of the Great Xia border army took out the water bags from their waists. While continuing to march, they took the water bags and drank a sip of spiritual spring or spiritual wine to restore their newly lost physical strength. and energy to achieve the best fighting condition.
The government soldiers at the rear of the convoy also acted in the same way. Moreover, they were much more embarrassed than the frontier soldiers in front. They were all panting like cattle and felt as if they had been soaked by rain. They were in urgent need of replenishing their physical strength. In terms of performance, , undoubtedly much inferior to their colleagues in the front. Fortunately, no one could care about this trivial matter at this time, and they did not need to compare with another group of barbarian soldiers.
Although the three hundred barbarian soldiers on the side of the Daxia border army did not have the treatment of spiritual springs and spiritual wine, they did not need such treatment. The rapid march just now was just a warm-up for them, just enough to They took a few breaths, broke out into a sweat, and moved their muscles and bones.
Of course, it would be even better if there was a spiritual spring or a few sips of spiritual wine. Therefore, following the orders of the three barbarian officers, the three hundred barbarian soldiers also took out the water bags around their waists. After drinking the unique medicinal wine of Nanman, although it is not as good as the spiritual wine in the hands of the Daxia border army, it is not much inferior to the ordinary spiritual spring.
Behind the three hundred barbarian soldiers, the barbarian general and three barbarian officers were riding a third-level monster "Lizard Beast" unique to the Southern Wilderness. Its biggest feature is that it has a lizard that is more than one meter long. heads. Among them, the lizard dragon beast ridden by the barbarian general is not only bigger, but also has a red lizard head, while the ones the three officers ride are only green, which is the same as the green scales on the four-meter-long beast. of.
The four green hooves of this lizard beast are nearly two meters long. They are very similar to horses. However, on the horse's hooves, there are soles with five sharp claws each. Five forest-blue sharp claws appear. It was arranged in a plum blossom shape, and a three-meter-long lizard tail grew out of the part that was originally a horse's tail. Moreover, on the tail, there was a row of weird black feathers, which made people's attention at first glance. Quite impressive.
In addition, there were thirty barbarian soldiers, ten of whom were riding second-level dark cloud horses, while the remaining twenty were forced to act like the three hundred ordinary barbarian warriors because they wore heavy full-body armor. After marching urgently with a heavy load, they still looked calm and relaxed after returning to normal speed. They did not need to drink medicinal wine to restore their strength. However, their nerves were tense, and their eyes were looking around, and their left hand might be ready at any time. He raises his shield to block, and his right hand may pull out the heavy ax behind his back or the flying ax on his waist at any time to launch a long-range attack.
Obviously, at this time, without too many words, these barbarian warriors from the Baishan tribe also felt that a battle was very likely to occur next, and it might be a sudden outbreak, so naturally they all prepared in advance. In preparation, in addition to the barbarian generals and three barbarian officers, even the ten barbarian soldiers dismounted. At the same time, all the bodyguards and martial artists on horses in the entire convoy also dismounted and led their horses away. , Firstly, this is to be able to enter the battle at any time, and secondly, it is also to avoid becoming a conspicuous target.
At this moment, the only ones still riding horses, apart from Yang Hu on the Lightning Chasing Horse and Luo San on the Iron-armored Demon Lion, were the only twenty black-armored guards. They were covered in black armor and were still riding fierce horses. The dragon-scaled horse stood on the side of the convoy.Walking on the ground, nothing changes.
For these black-armored knights, the most lethal time is when they are riding spiritual beasts. In the past, they rode sixth-order ligers, but now they can only ride fourth-order dragon-scale horses, but , at least these mid-level spiritual beasts covered with dragon scales can not only attack the enemy, but are also not afraid of ordinary attacks. They are invulnerable to swords and guns, allowing them to charge at will in the enemy formation and exert their strongest attack power.
In addition, about a hundred meters in front of the entire convoy, the black-armored captain Di Nu, who was chilling under the scorching sun, was still stepping forward unhurriedly on the road, his head wearing a black helmet Slightly drooping, seemingly unaware of all the changes in the outside world
Finally, when the slow-moving Luofu convoy continued for six or seven miles and came to a mountain ridge, Di Nu and two large groups of elite soldiers in front of the convoy saw the seven horses parked in the distance. The tall horse beside the avenue, as well as the seven bodyguards and foremen who had just set out to explore the road, of course, these seven people are alive and have no problems, and they do not need to report back anymore.
At this moment, six of the escorts and guards were standing outside a very common Daxia military bunker, waiting for the arrival of the convoy, while the other escort was standing on top of a huge white rock in the distance. He jumped down and ran back quickly towards the convoy. His speed was quite fast, which showed that his qinggong was quite strong. Perhaps, this was also the main reason why he dared to run to the top of the rock alone to observe the surrounding situation.
Here is the famous "Baishi Ridge", about thirty miles away from the Western Pass of Feiying Stream. Here, there is a military bunker and a brigade of Daxia border troops stationed there. Needless to say, its role is Yes, and the white boulder on which the escort was standing condescendingly to observe the surrounding situation was the reason why this place got its name, and also the reason why the garrison was built here.
There is actually a beacon tower on the top of the white jade boulder.
Then, the next thing is simple, because this very important garrison is now empty, and the one hundred border soldiers who were supposed to be stationed here are all gone.
This is the reason why the seven escorts and escorts stopped exploring the road. As for where the two teams of escorts who were responsible for exploring the route went or what they encountered, they didn't know, nor did they know. We need to look for the answer again, because at this moment, the answer is obvious - it is more likely to happen than not! !
"Fire the flare!!"
When Luo Sanzongshi came to the garrison and observed it carefully, he immediately shouted to the rear.
This deserted garrison was the last garrison before entering Feiying Stream. Now, these soldiers are gone. In addition to allowing Luo San to confirm the existence of the enemy, Luo Mansion, which has now completely stopped, For the convoy, this fact has another important role, which is to send an emergency signal for help.
Before there is real "evidence" to confirm the existence of the enemy, this distress signal cannot be sent in advance, because "false reporting of military information" is a very serious behavior, and this is why Li Yuanyan has not been able to make more Daxia The main reason why the border troops have been escorting them all the time - if you want to mobilize a battalion of border troops, you must have reasonable reasons or clear evidence. Just "suspiciousness" cannot be used as a reason to mobilize the border troops. In this Great Xia The border army is not a private army. One hundred and fifty border troops can accompany and escort them. This is already the limit of Li Yuanyan, a counselor noble, or Luo Qi, a second-class county uncle.
"boom!!"
As the first signal flare was fired from the hands of a guard captain of Luofu private soldiers, it shot straight into the sky. However, when it rose to a height of about 700 meters in the air, it suddenly stopped as if it hit something. It stopped, and then collapsed directly, exploding a group of black fireworks in the air and making a dull sound.
Witnessing this scene, more than a thousand people in the entire convoy, including Lin Zhong, Yang Hu, Di Nu, Luo San and other powerful leaders, all looked unhappy. Obviously, this was not a sign that the flare was successfully released. , a height of more than 700 meters is far from enough for the signal flare to be visible to people within 300 miles.
So, this shows that "someone" just took action to intercept the launch of the signal flare, and the method used was not ordinary. This also shows that the person who took action secretly was well prepared and would release them as soon as possible. They were even more wary of signal flares, even if they stopped suddenly.
¡°Put it out again!!¡±
Luo San shouted again.
"Whoops!!"
¡°ßÝßÝßÝßÝ¡«¡«¡«¡±
The second signal flare was launched immediately, and then the third, fourth, fifth, and a total of seven flares were fired at seven Luofu private buildings in different locations at the same time.Fired from the hands of soldiers and Daxia soldiers, trying to stop so many signal bombs, and the range is still so large, is undoubtedly a considerable test for the hostile strong men hiding in the dark. To a certain extent, This can be regarded as a kind of test to force the enemy to show up.
Anyway, the Luofu convoy carried quite a lot of flares this time. Since they had been on guard for a long time, they were naturally well prepared. For Li Yuanyan, the flares that are difficult for ordinary people to obtain are just a matter of words. They can have as many as they want. , if you want to completely intercept the Luofu convoy¡¯s call for help, unless
