Chapter 344 Scouting the enemy
In the night, a team of about 50 people crossed the West Bridge and moved quickly towards the Sith border.

These people are all soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion of the Second Iron Division.

"Officer Xia, this terrain is good for blocking!" Looking back at the Pecos River and the Wester Bridge behind him, a middle-aged officer beside Staff Xia couldn't help sighing, "The water on the river is very fast, and there is only one bridge on the river that can pass. , it can be said that one husband is in charge of the gate, and ten thousand husbands can't open it!"

The officer's name was Charles, and he was the commander of the reconnaissance battalion.

Mogo has always regarded the reconnaissance battalion as a sharp knife, and Charles is the one who holds this sharp knife.

After inferring that the Blood God Cult might launch an attack on West Fortress, Mogo sent Staff Officer Xia to lead the sharp knife to the border with him to scout the movement of the Blood God Cult army and at the same time look for opportunities to spy on the combat effectiveness of the Blood God Cult army. , Laying the foundation for the Second Division's future battle with the Blood God Sect.

"Mr. Charles, first of all, I have to correct you. I am the chief of staff, not the chief of staff. If you are not used to calling me the chief of staff, you can call me Mr. Charlotte. Secondly, please don't compare the army of the Blood God Cult with the general army of the mainland. Otherwise, the knife from the reconnaissance battalion may be cut." Staff Xia said angrily, "Finally, what I want to say is that if you plan to be the guard, I will be happy to fulfill it." you."

Charles smiled awkwardly when he heard the words: "Chief of Staff, please forgive me. You know, the title of Staff Officer Xia is a habit brought up by the teacher, and it will not be changed in a while."

After Mo Ge arrived in the Second Division, Staff Officer Xia has been following him. It can be said that everything is inseparable from him, so that all the officers and soldiers of the division know that there is Staff Officer Xia beside the division commander.After the reorganization of the Black Hawk Corps, each division and regiment also established the position of chief of staff, and Staff Officer Xia became the chief of staff of the Second Iron Division.

Of course, this is not because Mo Ge is nepotism, but that this staff officer Xia really has extraordinary abilities.

He has a calm mind, quick thinking, and quick handling of affairs. He is able to take care of the affairs of the Second Division in an orderly manner, making Mogo's life very leisurely.More importantly, he successfully dissuaded Mogo from giving up his overheated decisions several times at critical moments in the battle, not only saving Mogo's life, but also saving the Second Division.

However, in an army with extremely strong combat effectiveness and brave officers and soldiers, he was too bookish to win the respect of most people, and this point has not improved significantly after he was promoted to chief of staff.The officers and soldiers still regard him as the popular Xia staff officer next to the division commander, but often ignore his status as the chief of staff of the second division.

Charlotte smiled wryly, "It's okay, I'm actually used to it."

He knew in his heart that if he could not lead the troops to win a battle as the chief of staff, it would be difficult for him to gain the approval of the officers and soldiers of the Second Division.And the Blood God Cult army that might launch an attack on West Fortress is his best chance to prove himself.

"I don't know what kind of monsters are coming from the Blood God Church this time. If it's just blood demons and blood-clothed emissaries, we can easily kill these guys with the Lovecraft and magic guns in our hands. We just need to place them at the head of the West Bridge A regiment equipped with sufficient firepower would not be easy for the Blood God Cult army to attack." Charles continued.

"Are you aware of the lethal effect of Love's creation and magic gun on the army of the Blood God Cult?" Charlotte wondered.

"Yes. I have some friendship with Heda, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion of the Black Hawk Special Operations Brigade. He once told me in detail about their battle experience in Sith and the blood god army. Throw it, it's a blast!" Charles said, his eyes were shining.

Charlotte was lost in thought when she heard the words.

"If the Blood God Sect really comes to fight, we can have a good time! If there is no battle in the army, it is really no different from going to jail!" Charles still said to himself.The arrival of the war made this veteran full of passion.

"If the Blood God Sect really comes this time, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to deal with." Charlotte said worriedly, looking at the endless darkness in the distance.

"Why is that?" Charles asked puzzled.

"The Blood God Sect fought against the Black Eagle Special Operations Brigade, and was later raided by the Cavalry Division. They should have a good understanding of the Black Hawk Legion. If the Blood God Sect came, it would naturally be aimed at the Black Hawk Legion. , They must have something to rely on. Therefore, our mission is very important!" Charlotte sighed.He finally understood why Mogo arranged for him to follow the troops during a small reconnaissance, because the result of this reconnaissance would determine the enemy policy of the Second Division and the entire West Fortress to a certain extent.

Charles buried his head in thought, raised his head, and looked at Charlotte as if he was meeting him for the first time.

At dawn, the scouts finally found the soldiers of the Blood God Cult army on the border.

"It seems that your guess is right. At least I have never heard of the monsters around the blood-clothed messenger." Looking at the few monsters who were carefully searching along the sides of the road under the command of a blood-clothed messenger, A bloody skeleton, Charles, who was hidden in the grass hundreds of meters away from the road, whispered to Charlotte.

Charlotte's eyes were also attracted by this new monster that had never been seen before.

"If someone tells me that skeletons can still serve as soldiers, I will definitely think he has lost his mind!" Looking at the skeleton warriors who were faithfully fulfilling their mission, Charlotte couldn't help shaking his head.

"If someone tells me that skeletons can also be scouts, I will definitely give him a fist." Charles looked at the skeletons who looked like they were walking with him, and smiled wryly.He couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart. The appearance of those skeletons made him unable to tell whether it was the world or hell in front of him.Although the blood demons and blood-clothed emissaries raging all over the mainland in the past few months were terrifying, they made him feel more disgusted, but these creatures from hell in front of him made him feel a real fear in his heart.

For many years, living skeletons have only existed in mainland legends and people's nightmares. They are called undead, and they are the messengers of death in the world.Now, as soldiers of the Blood God Sect army, they appeared in the sun alive in groups.Thinking about how he would deal with these messengers of death in the future, every knife and every sword would greet a pile of bones, Charles couldn't help feeling his scalp tingle.

Charlotte quickly recovered her composure after the initial shock.The actions of the blood god army scouts caught his attention.According to his knowledge of the army of the Blood God Cult, these inhuman monsters have killed them wherever they go in previous wars, without any scruples, and they seldom act so cautiously.The fear brought about by human nature and the low combat effectiveness of the army make it unnecessary for them to take any precautionary measures before the battle starts.

"There should be an army of the Blood God Cult behind them, we have to be careful." Charlotte said.

After avoiding several groups of blood god scouts, the scouts finally spotted the shadow of the blood god army.When densely packed skeletons appeared in sight and marched forward like human soldiers, the excessive shock and fear caused everyone to lose the ability to speak.

"It seems that there are about 4000 people." Charlotte was the first to recover. "Except for a small number of blood-clothed emissaries who are in charge of commanding, they are all skeletons."

"This blood god sect is too fucking messy. The living turned them into monsters, and the dead turned them into skeletons!" Charles cursed in a low voice.

"Dead people?" Charlotte snorted coldly, "The bloodstains on those skeletons haven't dried yet, I'm afraid they were only made out of living people! It seems that the Blood God Sect doesn't care about death at all in order to win this battle." How many people. If the cult is not destroyed, I am afraid that we will not escape such a fate sooner or later!"

Charles stared blankly at the bloody skeleton in the distance.Charlotte's words sent chills in his heart.

He seemed to see the flesh and blood of the living people slowly dissipating, and skeletons came out of the pool of blood, gradually gathering into the skeleton army in front of him.

"Don't be in a daze, hurry up and complete the second task!"

"Okay, I'll grab two bones and bring them back to the teacher."

After the gunshot, the blood-clothed emissary who was leading the blood skeleton to search along the road, suddenly a blood flower bloomed between his eyebrows, and his body fell limply to the ground.

Morse waved the magic gun in his hand: "Go!"

Several team members jumped up from their crouching positions and ran quickly towards the blood skeleton.

When the distance from the blood skull was about ten meters away, the team members raised their hands high, and a few large nets flew out behind them, and covered the blood skulls who were twisting their heads mechanically to find the source of the gunshots. .These large nets are woven with a special rattan, which is not only tough and wear-resistant, but also extremely light, easy to carry around, and is the best tool for scouts to catch their tongues.

Several blood skeletons were immediately covered by a big net.

The scouts quickly tightened the ropes in their hands.

Seeing that the monster was under control, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Tell your brothers to be careful!" Looking at the gradually tightening rope, Charlotte felt that her heart was also being tightened.

"You guys, go over and aim your guns at the monster. If there is any movement, shoot immediately!" Charles nodded and ordered the soldiers around him.He didn't dare to be too careless when dealing with this kind of monster for the first time.

At this moment, the field has changed.

"Ow!"

A blood skeleton let out a shrill scream, and its two bone arms broke through the net, grabbing the ropes wrapped around them in its hands.

The blood skull's bone arms danced wildly, and the three scouts fell out of the grass and fell towards the middle of the road.

"Shoot it, kill it!" Charlotte yelled.

The sound of gunfire was incessant.

Amidst the gunshots, blood flashed.

A soldier who fell in front of the blood skull was trampled on the chest by the blood skull.The huge force allowed the Blood Skull's feet to easily penetrate his chest, causing a spray of blood.

"Jess!" Charles wailed, and pulled the trigger of the magic gun forcefully.

The bullets of the magic gun kept hitting the blood skull and was bounced away again.

Although the figure was shaken constantly, the blood skeleton was obviously not seriously injured.

The blood skeleton stepped on the soldier's corpse, howling incessantly, and looked in the direction of Charlotte and Charles with red eyes.

"Take everyone to evacuate, I'll save those boys!" Seeing the other blood skeletons gradually break through the net and move towards the soldiers who fell to the ground, Charles hurriedly said something to Charlotte, and then Holding a magic gun in his hand, he rushed towards the field.

"Come on, you bastard!" He cursed angrily, pulling the trigger constantly, firing one shot at another target, quickly attracting the attention of the blood skeletons.

Charles was also full of fear of the blood skull, but this did not affect him at all to rush forward against the danger.

On the battlefield, a real soldier always values ​​the life of his comrades more than himself.When they trust their backs to their comrades-in-arms, it means that they can use their chests to block the enemy's sword for their comrades-in-arms.

In his eyes that were red with excitement and pain, there were only his soldiers, those soldiers who fell beside the blood skull and might die at any time.

Several soldiers in distress took advantage of the opportunity of the Blood Skull being attracted by Charles, and quickly fled the field.

The blood skull that stepped on Jess's body suddenly rose from the ground and flew towards Charles in the air.

The bullets of the magic gun have been fired.

Looking at the bloody skeleton in the air, Charles grinned grimly and pulled the fuze made by Love in his hand.

Charlotte did not lead the soldiers back.

He stood there, calmly looking at the blood skeleton in the air.Behind him, gathered the remaining forty soldiers of the reconnaissance unit, each of them raised their magic guns and aimed carefully.

Eyes—sights—blood skulls, three points and one line, and the muzzle of the gun slowly adjusted as the blood skulls moved in the air.

"shooting!"

The moment Charles unscrewed the fuse made by Love, Charlotte gave the order.

"Damn it, I don't believe it, I can't blow you up!" Love made the "squeak" sound of the fuze burning, which made Charles very enjoyable.These unkillable monsters brought him extreme frustration, and also gave him the idea of ​​desperately.

"Left hand direction, aim - shoot!"

"Straight ahead, aim—shoot!"

"......."

Love was still smoking, and Charlotte kept giving new orders.

Charles was surprised to find that the blood skeleton in the air seemed to have been hit by gravity suddenly, flew high like a kite with a broken string, and then fell heavily to the ground, struggling but couldn't get up again.

And the same thing happened to other blood skeletons.

After a while, the mighty monsters who were originally baring their teeth and claws, all lay on the ground, completely losing their fighting power.

"Charles, if you don't throw that thing out in your hand, you'll be fucking heroic!" Charlotte's laughter came from behind, which woke Charles up immediately.

"Battalion Commander, throw it away!" The soldiers also yelled.

"Damn!" Charles shook his whole body violently, holding the figure made by Love as if it had been scalded by a branding iron, and shook it vigorously, and the figure made by Love flew out with a "swish", blowing up a half-dead blood skeleton on the ground. smash.

Next, the scouts dragged several blood skeletons together, and sent the monsters to hell with a Lovecraft.

"Just now, what happened?" On the way back, Charles asked Charlotte while fiddling with the remains of the blood skeleton in his hand.

"During the battle, I have been observing these skeletons. I found that although the scattered shots of the magic gun can't hurt them, they still have a great impact on them. This impact is not harmful to them. , but it will definitely have a certain destructive effect. Although they are terrible, they are just skeletons, not steel. Seeing you standing there with a smoking Lovecraft, but the mother is anxious Kill me! In order to prevent our reconnaissance battalion commander from being heroic, I came up with the idea of ​​group shooting. You often tell me that the reconnaissance battalion is the sharpshooter battalion of the second division. I believe the soldiers will not let me down. Luckily, they managed to do it, basically a volley to take out a blood skeleton!" explained Charlotte.

"Isn't that my red eye? Seeing the enemy who killed me in front of me, but we couldn't kill him, I feel so panicked!" Charles, who had lost his life, still had lingering fears when he remembered what happened just now.If he were to stand still holding a Lovecraft that could explode at any time, he would bet that his legs would become weak.

"As a commander, no matter what happens on the battlefield, you must not lose your mind, otherwise you will not be able to control the development of the battle situation. No matter how strong the enemy is, there will be weaknesses. You must observe, think and judge calmly to find this point, Inflict heavy damage on the enemy. You must know that courage is a good thing, but if it is used at the wrong time, it will only increase unnecessary casualties to the troops." Charlotte said earnestly.

Charles sighed after hearing the words: "I always thought you were close to the division commander, so I took the position of chief of staff. I didn't expect you to have something in your stomach! Charles has been taught."

In the conference room, Mogo and Naya stared at the remains of the blood skeleton on the table with serious expressions, and fell into deep thought.

After reporting the situation, Charlotte stood quietly aside, waiting for the two to ask questions.

"It seems that what we are facing is the real elite of the Blood God Cult!" Naya broke the silence first, "The 4000 people discovered by the reconnaissance battalion are most likely the vanguard of the Blood God Cult. If the Blood God Cult army After the assembly is completed, they will definitely charge towards the fortress with a thunderous momentum, instead of advancing cautiously like now. I think it should be the explosion that occurred in the Sith territory, which broke their original battle plan, so Send [-] troops for a tentative attack."

Mogo walked to the table, pointed at the stump of the blood skeleton, and said in a heavy tone: "Four thousand such monsters are not easy to deal with! The magic gun can't do much to them, although Luofu made it, But the quantity is really limited. I have tried it just now. Even if you smash this bone with a hammer, it will take about ten blows to break it. Staff Xia also mentioned just now that these monsters are several meters high in a single leap. The ten-meter-high city walls of West Fortress can't stop them at all."

"Officer Xia, do you have any good suggestions?" Mo Ge habitually asked his chief of staff.

"Master, I have two suggestions. First, these skeletons of the Blood God Sect have no human thoughts, and are all commanded by the blood-clothed messenger. We can concentrate the sharpshooters in the fortress to snipe and kill the blood-clothed messenger. It's so easy Cause confusion in the enemy's army and disrupt the enemy's offensive rhythm. Second, gather the Luofu of the [-]st, [-]nd and [-]rd Iron Division and use them at critical times. The mountain base should try to mobilize as many Luofu as possible. In addition, I think it is not an option to stick to the fortress. Considering the amazing combat power of these skeletons, once the enemy attacks the fortress, our army will face huge casualties." Charlotte replied.

After hearing what Charlotte said, Naya couldn't help but nodded slightly: "Officer Xia is right. We must try to destroy the enemy's command system. Once we succeed, the threat of these skeletons will be much weaker. How about this, I will immediately order to mobilize The sharpshooters of the first division and the third division brought the Luofu of the two divisions to station in the fortress. After these people arrive, you, General Mo, will be in charge of arranging them. As for asking for help from Priseli City and Dahangshan Base, I don’t think it is necessary for the time being Yes. The production capacity of the Dahangshan Base has reached its limit, and Priseli City also needs to prepare for war, so let’s rely on ourselves first.”

With that said, Naya walked to the front of the map.

"The defense system of the fortress is extremely powerful for the human army, and it can also play a role against the undead creatures of the Blood God Cult. However, I don't intend to stick to the fortress. I will lead the Fire Phoenix Army to take the initiative to attack and give The vanguard of the Blood God Cult set up an ambush on the marching route, give them a head-on blow!"

Mogo frowned and said: "If we take the initiative to attack, our army will lose any defensive advantage. The most important thing is that those skeletons are hard to kill. If they launch a counterattack against us, our casualties will definitely be serious."

Naya said: "I've considered this. I don't plan to confront the Blood God Cult head-on, but plan to use the terrain to complete an ambush."

"General Mo, please look here." Naya pointed to the map.

Mogo also walked to the map.

"Sillman Hill?"

"Yes. Once the enemy army crosses the Pecos River, they must pass through the jungle at the foot of the mountain to reach Fort West. The terrain here is complex and overgrown with trees and weeds, which will have a certain impact on the actions of the blood skeletons and lay an ambush for us. It's very beneficial. Besides, the weather is dry right now, which is also conducive to launching a fire attack." Naya nodded.

"En." Mo Ge nodded, "Then leave this task to the Second Division! Your Highness, you are still in command of the fortress. You are the commander of the entire fortress, so you cannot easily risk yourself!"

Naya said with a smile: "Don't fight, general, you will have to take part in this battle. Naya has experienced many battles in her life, so you don't have to worry about my safety."

"Then please order, Your Highness!"

"Judging from the reconnaissance information, I have run out of time to lead the Fire Phoenix Army to complete the ambush preparations. I need the Second Iron Division to start immediately, and fight a beautiful blocking battle before the Blood God Cult army reaches the foot of Mount Silman. Buy me a day!"

"Okay, I'll go back and prepare right away!" Mo Ge was refreshed when he heard that.

"Remember, you must persist for one day!" Naya reminded.

"Yes! The Second Division will resolutely complete the mission even if it is the last one soldier!" Mo Ge snapped to attention and gave a solemn military salute to Princess Naya.
