Indiana Jones

Chapter 479 Trying to Fend off the Enemy (02)

As a local, Yin Lu knows the mountains, waters, plants and trees here very well. He led Si Xuanyi and Li Siming to search for a suitable ambush location among the mountains and rivers. , it is impossible to be easily fooled, but this may be the only effective method they can think of so far that can make more enemies with fewer enemies. If the plan is successful, they can kill and weaken the enemy to the greatest extent. Impossible missions increase the hope of victory. This is not a frontal battlefield, and they can't defend against the enemy head-on. They don't have the strength.

After careful investigation, Si Xuanyi was dissatisfied with several alternative locations, all of which had problems of one kind or another, and were not suitable for ambushes. They were already at a disadvantage due to insufficient manpower, so these problems became more obvious, but time It is urgent that they must find a more suitable place in a short time.

Although they can find the traces of the ghosts coming here last time and go to that cave, but now they have cooperated with Yin Lu and the others, and they can't force it. Yin Lu also said that the place they want to go is not easy, not because of how difficult the road is. Walking is not because of the distance, but because there are guards from other tribes inside. If you want to reach that place without permission, you will be attacked. After all, it is a cooperative relationship, so you can't make things too rigid.

After confirming that there was no suitable place, Yin Lu decided to go back and try. If the higher-ups agreed, he would take Si Xuanyi and the others to investigate the cave that was attacked by devils before. In fact, he was unwilling to lead the war there again, but if he really found If they didn't get to a suitable place, they might all die in battle, and then let the little devil go to that place. This is not what he hoped to appear, so he decided to give it a try.

"Why are you so sure it's the right place?" Zhao Chenggong knew what Yin Lu was doing when he didn't come back.

Si Xuanyi didn't answer immediately, but sat down and chose a comfortable position to lean against to light a cigarette, and then said slowly: "I'm not sure, it's just a tendency, I haven't found any satisfactory place around here. , although this is deep in the mountains, as long as you search carefully, you will eventually find a suitable place, but if you stay away from here, it will be a big problem to lure the little devils there. Who can guarantee that these little devils will be fooled? If you can't lure the little devils to arrive, then Even the best places are useless. From another point of view, last time they successfully ambushed and drove away the little devils, it may be partly due to luck, but using cold weapons to deal with the devils with steel guns is not enough to win. It's as simple as luck. We've learned that their losses in the last operation were not as great as any night this time. What does this mean? That environment was quite powerful for them, and the reason why the devils finally withdrew and fled It is not because they are not strong in combat, or because the indigenous equipment is too poor. The ability to beat the little devils into that virtue with cold weapons alone shows that they can give full play to their advantages in that place, and there may also be little For the devil's destination, we don't have to think about luring the enemy to go deep, just sit back and wait, so I am very inclined to go to that place to see if we can use that environment again. Although the little devil will definitely be more vigilant, but in that kind of Under the environment, no matter how vigilant the little devils are, it is impossible to be foolproof. We still have a chance to attack. Another point is that it is impossible for all the little devils to go in. This virtually reduces our pressure, and we can also eliminate them in batches. , to maximize the odds of winning.”

"But we can't go to that place." Zhao Chenggong said, "If we don't cooperate with these natives, it won't be so troublesome."

"Then we have a group of more enemies." Li Siming said, "The little devils are enough for us to deal with, and we have no chance of winning if we are enemies of these aborigines."

"I really don't know whether these natives are here to help or make trouble." Zhao Chenggong shook his head, as if he said helplessly.

"We need such allies in this kind of place." Si Xuanyi said, "Even if they can't increase our combat power much, they can still become qualified guides. Their familiarity with this place can increase our chances of winning to the greatest extent. What's more, they are warriors who are not afraid of life and death, and they will pay any price to protect their homeland. Such people stand by our side and have no harm."

"I always feel uncomfortable here with my hands and feet tied." Zhao Chenggong didn't think so.

"I hope Yin Lu can succeed." Li Siming didn't seem to have much hope in his tone.

"Is it time for the old man to come back? Will something happen?" Zhao Chenggong was a little worried about the woodcutter's disappearance.

"Since Yin Lu has gone back, there shouldn't be any problems. The old man should be able to handle it, so don't worry too much." Si Xuanyi said.

That afternoon, the devil suddenly changed direction and chose a place farther away to camp. The reason why he chose the camp in the afternoon was to build a more comprehensive defensive position. He dug trenches around the camp, buried picket piles inside, and used stones and The logs were set up with walls, and there were shooting holes and observation holes. This was obviously a fake setting, which minimized the possibility of being attacked.

"These little devils really put their heart into it." Zhao Chenggong looked at the devil's camp and said, "I'm afraid it's impossible to touch it."

"The little devil is indeed prepared, but is it necessary for them to set up such a strong camp here?" Si Xuanyi felt that the little devil's move was a bit too much.

"It seems that they are really scared of being beaten." Li Siming said.

"The previous camp was simpler than this." Liu Xiaotian said, "Why do you spend so much effort on such a thing? Judging from their progress and time, they can't finish it before dark."

"It should be that they have learned the lesson of the last encounter and felt that they have entered a dangerous area and it is necessary to carry out further defenses." Si Xuanyi said.

"But this is a bit too exaggerated, isn't it? A temporary camp, as for? There must be something wrong." Zhao Chenggong felt wrong.

"In short, their arrangements are not conducive to our actions." Si Xuanyi frowned.

"What's that?" Li Siming frowned looking at a position, and after looking carefully for a while, he handed the telescope to Si Xuanyi, and said with an uneasy face, "This is troublesome, they even brought a flamethrower. "

"Damn it...Aren't they afraid that they will burn this mountain down and they won't be able to escape?" Si Xuanyi cursed. He knew the power of the thing very well. It can be killed, and it is more powerful in a closed space.

"Will they take this into consideration? This thing is really powerful, and it can set half of the mountain on fire at once." Zhao Chenggong also felt that this thing was difficult to deal with.

"Will the operation continue tonight?" Liu Xiaotian asked.

"Of course." Si Xuanyi said firmly, "Even if they can't cause effective damage, they can't let them sleep peacefully for a night."

The little devil's camp was in full swing, and it didn't stop until dark, but it was not completed. The entire camp had basically taken shape. Although it was an exaggeration to say that it was impenetrable, it was very difficult for people without heavy weapons to attack. , the possibility of sneaking in is also greatly reduced.

Yin Lu and the woodcutter came back at around seven o'clock in the evening, and Si Xuanyi could see two words on their faces: no play.

"The patriarch disagrees, and will never tolerate anyone invading that place again, but..." Yin Lu did not continue.

"What?" Si Xuanyi felt a little strange, and Yin Lu's behavior was a little abnormal.

"Their people found that the devils had already camped not far from there, and their clansmen have sent a large number of people to defend after urgent discussions." The woodcutter said, "It seems that the devils have made all the preparations. You should have figured out the situation over there, right?"

"Where is it?" Si Xuanyi was very surprised, but after thinking about it again, he felt that there was nothing surprising. No wonder the little devil was so troubled. They wanted to stay there for a long time when they first arrived.

"Yes! It's right there. Although we sealed the entrance, the little devil still found it." Yin Lu said dejectedly, "I always thought that we were prepared this time to keep them farther away. I didn't expect them to come so quickly and actually set up a solid camp."

After hearing this, Si Xuanyi immediately said angrily: "If you had said earlier, we would not have allowed them to start work so easily, nor would we have allowed them to approach that direction. Fortunately, they have already arrived there, and everything is done. It's a foregone conclusion. Instead, we became the last group of people who knew where that place was. What a joke. As a partner, we can't be trusted, because your distrust has led to the current consequences. The devil found the exact location and successfully built it. We got up to camp, but we were watching the excitement there stupidly, looking for opportunities to attack at night, you really..."

"No one expected them to come so quickly." Yin Lu knew she was wrong, but she still defended, "Besides, we never expected that they could find that place so easily and accurately, and wait for our people to send the news to It was too late to go up, which was completely beyond our expectations."

"On the battlefield, you are delaying the opportunity to fight. If you are my subordinate, I will kill you directly." Si Xuanyi gritted his teeth and said, "Now that the deal is done, you can think of a way to stop him from destroying the holy land of your ancestors. Do you just rely on your bows and arrows and long knives? Success is enough. If you fail, can the situation be saved? How many people do you think the devils have come this time? Can you stop it? If you I can guarantee that I will not care, I am happy that my subordinates can complete this task with ease."

"At this time, your patriarch still doesn't agree with us to go in, does he?" Li Siming asked, "I can't wait to hesitate. All of you will die in it. Go and see what the little devil brought this time." Flamethrower."

"What is that?" Yin Lu didn't know what a flamethrower was, he had never seen or heard of it.

Li Siming opened his mouth, and finally didn't know how to explain it. The woodcutter thought about it and made some descriptions. Yin Lu took a lot of effort to figure out that the thing can breathe fire, but he still can't fully understand it. , but he could also understand that it was just a powerful killing weapon.

"Then what should I do?" Yin Lu panicked, "Then I'll go back and inform the patriarch, hoping he can change his mind."

"I hope you can make it in time..." Si Xuanyi said angrily, "Let's make preparations first. Anyway, things are already like this, and accusations won't solve the problem."

"We also need to change another place to conduct a comprehensive surveillance of the devils. You tell us where the entrance is first, and we will focus on defense." Li Siming said to Yin Lu.

"This..." Yin Lu hesitated, wondering if she should say it.

"Even if you say so, we may not be able to go in. The little devils can camp there, which means that they are very close there. How can we sneak in under their noses first? Your worries are unnecessary, we are now I can only monitor them first, and then think of other ways; the initiative was abruptly given to you by the brat, I... don't know what to say about you..." Si Xuanyi gritted his teeth again, feeling like I wanted to eat him straight away.

"Decision as soon as possible, we don't have time to delay. If the little devils act overnight tonight, it will be too late. If you want to save the lives of the people before you, hurry up." At this time, Yin Lu was still hesitating. Li Siming was also a little annoyed.

"Do you have other entrances, not just this one? If so, your people should have already entered. Warn them and the guards inside. If the little devil has already entered, don't easily confront him. You are not opponents." "The woodcutter said, "At this time, your best choice is to take us in. We will try our best to use the environment to help you and prevent the little devil from further destroying this place. There is nothing to hesitate now. , you only have this one chance, if you continue to let it go, we will not bear any consequences."

Yin Lu gritted her teeth, but in the end she turned and left without saying anything.

"He still doesn't believe us..." Si Xuanyi sighed.

"He has no idea how serious the situation has become." Li Siming said, "It seems that this situation may be difficult to change. We have to prepare for a tough battle."

"Let them die first..." Zhao Chenggong said angrily, "Good words are hard to persuade, damn it, what else can we do? It's not that we don't want to help them, it's that they don't want us to help at all."

"This will definitely implicate us." Ye Feng said.

Si Xuanyi said helplessly: "There's nothing to get involved, this is our mission, we can't count on them, don't talk nonsense, move the position, we have to watch the little devil."
