Chapter 77: Tactics
When the sky darkened again, Xiao Qi and his party set off again. They continued to walk along the mountain road, and green gradually began to appear in the mountains, indicating that the Fengyi River was approaching.
After walking through a meadow and shrub area, before dawn, Xiaoqi arranged a team to stop in the bush forest. In the camp, he could hear the roaring sound of water from Fengyi River coming from afar.
Xiaoqi, Xiao Yun, Zhao Yi and Lei Fu held a brief meeting.
"We will go through the action plan again. There is a ferry of the rowing tribe about two kilometers away in front, which specifically charges the cost of ships passing through the Fengyi River. This is an important source of wealth for the rowing tribe. From the west ferry to the east ferry, there are ships that can come and go."
Xiaoqi opened the 3D terrain map and pointed and said.
"The ferry has certain guards, but its strength is not strong, especially at the Xi Ferry. Since people are rarely visited, they are only responsible for intercepting ships in the river that want to forcibly rush to block the junction, and their strength is even weaker."
"Now the boating in Fengyi River is used to the charges of the rowing tribe, and the cards at Xidukou are basically useless. They are considered an outpost to guard against the attack of the Truth Cult. According to the information provided by the Truth Cult, the entire Xidukou only maintains the defense of six or seven people for many years."
"Our plan is to try to exterminate the guards at Xidukou and quickly as quietly as possible, and then all the people cross the river and seize the East Ferry Crossing. The East Ferry Crossing is much stronger than Xidukou."
"Our purpose is to make some noise at the Dongdukou, so that the troops of the rowing tribe will be dispatched to attack the Dongdukou. Xiao Yun is responsible for commanding the transformed soldiers to defend the Dongdukou, and we will pass this path and go straight to the tribe center."
"After the troops of the rowing tribe returned to defense, Xiao Yun and the others followed this main road to attack the tribe center, and finally stayed there with us, waiting for the people from the local branch of Guoxing to come and take over the defense."
"We will fight the main battle. Since the Guoxing Branch has to arrange goods in and is also in the suddenness of the attack, they can only provide limited support for Xiao Yun's defense. Do you have any questions?"
"What if the guards of the tribe do not retreat? The places we pass by have clamps of the tribe." Zhao Yi pointed to the defensive point of the rowing tribe displayed on the map.
"Run over, and if Xiao Yun's defense pressure is not high, they will also make a tentative attack forward."
"The key point is to say it again. First, attack the drone control center of the tribe, then the artillery position, the combat targets are first transformers, then combat mechas, and finally ordinary soldiers. If the tribe civilians do not resist, it is not recommended to massacre." Xiaoqi said.
"Put two more nutrient solution. If you have that thing, feel relieved." Lei Fu said.
Xiao Yun sent two more nutrient solution from the package she carried with her. In order to reduce the supply, the supplies they had along the way were not only water, but also all the nutrient solution to support them.
"These two branches are from the sixth generation, so everyone can save some use." Xiao Yun reminded. They used the first generation of nutrient solution before, which was just used as energy supplements and would not last long to transform.
After the meeting, Lei Fu and Zhao Yi returned to rest in the tent. Xiao Qi left the camp alone and followed the road he was about to take to the ferry, intending to touch the situation.
From the camp to the edge of the ferry, the trees are lush and hidden. The entire terrain is steep down. Standing halfway up the mountain, you can see the surging Fengyi River like a long snake bound in the mountains, swimming without stopping.
The last hundreds of meters of the road ahead was dug along the mountain wall, and there was no barrier around it. Even at night, it was easy to be noticed by the people at the ferry. The ferry was at the end of the road, close to the Fengyi River, and two armed hovercrafts were parked there on the river surface on one side of the ferry.
There is also a much smaller patrol boat next to the hovercraft, like two big ducks floating there with a duck. The ferry is a simple two-story building with a satellite antenna on it. It is obviously the equipment used by the ferry to communicate with the tribe.
Xiaoqi looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see a tribal soldier coming out of the building. In fact, the environment at the ferry was not bad. No one came out to walk around for a long time, which made him very surprised. Moreover, there was no sign of cooking at the ferry at the meal time. This... Is there no one in the Xidukou?
The rowing tribe established three such ferry toll stations on both sides of the Fengyi River controlled by them. The entire Fengyi River is barely accessible to ships by the rowing tribe, and has become an important upstream and downstream transportation hub on the western foot of the Fengyi Mountains.
Because it blocked the transportation throat to Truffle City, the second largest city in Hongtu Country, the traffic on the river was still very busy. However, the reason why Xiaoqi and the others chose this ferry to attack the three ferries was of course because this Xidukou was just like what Xiaoqi said before, it was a decoration.
Lingjian Duo is divided into three ferries, one of which is the busiest, and the second ferry is the busiest. Most of the goods in Bailan City enter the river at the Edu Xidukou, and then go ashore from the Yidu Xidukou to the Truffle City.
Xiaoqi and his friends chose Sandu, which was originally important because it was the main road for cargo from Yuji City, the third largest city in Hongtu Country to Bailan City and Truffle City.
But now Yuji City has been occupied by the True Cult, and the trade with the True Cult is restricted, so the ferry is much more depressed. After watching for a long time, only three boats were sent out from the East Ferry. Moreover, due to the simple equipment at the ferry, the loading efficiency is extremely low.
However, compared with the busyness of Dongdukou, the desertedness of Xidukou was far beyond Xiaoqi's expectations. He had always been a person who would do it when he thought about it. Seeing this, he thought about going down to Xidukou to take a look.
If there is really no one, just take it first. The hundreds of meters of uncovered mountain walls and plank roads made him a little daunting.
He thought about this and was about to set off when his back was suddenly patted gently. He turned his head and found that Xiao Yun had actually touched him.
"Why don't you go to bed?" Xiaoqi asked.
"I can't sleep. What are you doing?" Xiao Yun leaned down and looked down.
"I plan to go to Xidukou alone to see it. Such a long plank road is coming to attack at night. It is unobstructed and blocked. The firepower is easy to block." Xiao Qi pointed to the plank road under his feet and said to Xiao Yun.
"But..." Xiao Yun was hesitant when she heard that he wanted to go down alone.
"Nothing, but now it's dawn, and the people at the ferry will not be too alert. I'll go down and take a look. If there are fewer people or no one, I'll take it first to save trouble at night."
"But it's broad daylight now, and the other side of the shore can see this clearly. Even if there is no one here, what should I do if I am discovered by the other side?" Xiao Yun asked.
"It's okay, I'm just alone and can't arouse much noise." Xiaoqi shook his head.
"No! Let me think of a solution. Stay here and don't act without permission. I'll go." Xiao Yun reminded Xiao Qi and turned around and walked away.
Xiaoqi waited for a while, and Xiao Yun came back.
"Take them with you, you shouldn't be able to see the other side." Xiao Yun said. Two black guns appeared behind her, and the two guns pressed against Xiao Qi's body as soon as they appeared.
"This is..." Xiao Qi suddenly understood that this was transformed into a warrior. Since the transformed guns occupied little, Xiao Qi's body could cover it enough. Even if it could not be covered, it was just like a person carrying a gun.
In this poor and bad place, it is really normal for a man to sway with a gun on his back.
"After you pass, leave them behind and come back by yourself." Xiao Yun reminded.
"I'm talking, can they understand?" Xiaoqi looked at the two black guns beside him, and felt confused. Although he had presided over the construction of the transformed warrior training camp, he had never had much dealing with the transformed warriors and had no idea how to command.
"I have entered the order to stay behind for them. They will not leave with you. You just need to take care of yourself." Xiao Yun said.
Xiaoqi then felt relieved, flashed out of his body, and walked down step by step along the plank road excavated between the mountain walls.
There was a cave covered by trees in the mountain wall not far away. Pan Youzhi was holding a telescope and looking here. When she saw Xiaoqi walking onto the plank road alone, her eyes couldn't help but widen.
The sunlight outside is very good, but when it hits the cliff, it feels like the energy and spirit is being pulled away. The sunlight becomes much gentler without realizing it. Xiaoqi slowly walked down the mountain wall, looking at the opposite shore from time to time.
For him, there is no suspense at the Xidukou under his feet. The key is that it is at the opposite Dongdukou. What will happen if the other side finds it? If there are people in the Xidukou, will his battle alarm the guards of the Dongdukou?
The terrain on the east coast is much smoother than the west coast. There are about a dozen cargo ships parked along the ferry. On the east side of the ferry is a large open area with many greenhouses built, which is probably a place for stacking goods. Two cranes slowly loading goods next to the ferry.
Not far from the crane is a three-story building, which looks much newer than the one on Xidukou. Going westward, there is a shanty town built on the bank of the river, which is probably a temporary place for the workers and guards at the ferry.
Xiaoqi looked at him for a long time and saw no one. It was probably far away. Otherwise, there must be someone in the crane on the boat. Xiaoqi didn't know if the other party could see him. Standing alone on the plank road without any obstruction was much more conspicuous than on the boat, in the crane.
Before he approached Xidukou, the sound of water was deafening. Xiaoqi couldn't help but admire that driving in such a hurrying river was not simple, and he couldn't help but have a new understanding of the rowing tribe he was going to fight.
The downward plank road starts from where Xiaoqi starts, and there are only four or five hundred levels. The more you go down, the more the tide the more you get, the louder the water sounds.
Xiaoqi saw that the Xidukou closed the six upper and lower windows of the plank road in front of the Xidukou. The two lower ones were black in the open windows and could not see clearly what was inside. He only noticed that there were green vines clinging to the window, as if they were to weave some decorative patterns.
These windows were obviously for shooting, and were more than twice as small as normal windows. Xiaoqi looked up and found that the satellite antenna was already rusted.
"Stop!" Suddenly, the sound was not loud. Even though Xiao Qi was always alert, he was almost covered by the rumbling sound of water.
"Don't shoot, I'm here to inquire about renting a boat and shipping goods!" Xiaoqi hurriedly raised his hands and shouted. Only then did he find a black barrel poking out from a window upstairs in Xidukou.
"Give up the gun and come over by yourself." The other party shouted.
After hearing the other party's order, Xiaoqi's head suddenly became big and threw down the gun. If he knew how to throw it away, he would not be able to order these two guns at all!
"Boss, it will be troublesome if you lose your self-defense baby. Look, I just carry it on like this. Just point the gun at me. Isn't that wrong?" Xiaoqi had to stand there begging.
Perhaps because he found that Xiaoqi was not a local, the guards at the ferry hesitated for a moment, Xiaoqi took the opportunity to raise his hands and move forward again.
"It's too noisy here, and the sound of water is so loud that I can't hear it. I just walked closer and left after inquiring. I have a batch of cargo to be transported to the truffles. How much does the ship cost?" Xiaoqi shouted as he walked.
"If you go to Erdu, it is not convenient to get on the boat here." The opposite shouted.
"What? Adu? My surname is not Du! My surname is Hu, Hu, what did you say? How did you get on the boat?" Xiao Qi pretended to be unable to hear the other party's words, and his feet increased their speed, and he could reach the downstairs of Xidukou in more than a dozen steps.
The upstairs cursed and put away the gun. Xiao Qi was very happy. He radiated forward and leaned against the wall of the Xidukou building. Then he turned his body and came to the front of the building. However, there were three doors arranged side by side in the front of the building, both sides were closed, and only the door in the middle was wide open.
Through the door, you could see the stairs inside. Xiaoqi quickly entered the room. He saw a man in a dirty black robe suddenly appearing on the stairs and was walking down cursingly. Xiaoqi suddenly rose up and rushed up the stairs.
The man had only had time to widen his eyes, and his throat was instantly broken by Xiao Qi, who seemed to fall from the sky.
After gently putting down the man's body, Xiaoqi checked the entire Xidukou up and down, left and right, and found that no one was here except this man. He probably thought that this place was too leisurely, so the tribe cut off the people guarding the place.
He was curious about why the man was huddled in the house all day and didn't come out. When he went upstairs, his nose was almost pissed. The boy was actually using the satellite antenna on the roof to watch a movie about Yunqiguo next door.
The two major religions of Hongtu Country are relatively abstinent, so many people began to fall in love with the luxury and decay of Yunqi Country. However, they did not know that Yunqi Country has abundant resources and people could not be hungry even if they lay down, so there were many strange tricks, which made these bandits of Hongtu Country confused.
There were a few pieces of dough cakes on the side of the TV, a plate of dipping sauce with extremely suspicious colors and smells. I guess this kid was fascinated by the sight, but somehow he was distracted. When he looked up, he happened to see himself coming down from the plank road.
The two transformed soldiers had already recovered from their human form when they entered the room. One stayed in the middle of the downstairs, and the other somehow opened the house to the north and hid in it.
Xiaoqi looked around and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something that he almost missed.
Chapter completed!
