Chapter 040 Surrounding the Grey Army
Early in the morning, jungle.
These two words together can always remind people of the sound of nature, the singing of birds and fragrance of flowers, the faint dew of the morning light. But in fact,
"Damn wet weather, damn jungle mosquitoes, damn... untouchables!" The middle-aged man rubbed his blood-covered eyes and muttered and cursed.
Then he looked up and the soldiers lying halfway around, the armor and weapons scattered all over the ground, and even the smoke rising from the cooking stove seemed a little listless...
"Oh, when will this day end?" Several soldiers leaning under the tree chatted.
"Ask us if you have any birds, and ask those commanders who don't know what they think in their minds." A soldier said angrily.
"Hey, I'm just asking, don't fire me if you have fire." The soldier seemed very innocent.
"What's wrong with me just attacking you?"
"You guy..."
"Okay, okay. What's the point of noisy?" A slightly older soldier raised his voice slightly, glanced at the two of them, and then said, "It's probably time to wipe out the gray-clothed army before going back."
"Extermination? We chased for three days and didn't even see a single hair."
"That's right. Didn't you say that the group of gray-clothed soldiers had no food? Anyone who had no food could run so far?"
"Fuck, can you stop eating?"
"Well……"
Silenced slightly, a soldier hunched his body a little and said mysteriously: "Let me tell you something, I have a friend who is a logistics company. He said that the reason why our food was cut in half was because the food was burned out in the fire."
"What!"
"Really? Didn't it say that supply will resume in two days?"
"Sir!"
...
Uh... the chatting soldiers turned their heads stiffly and saw the middle-aged man standing behind them with expressionless expression on the other side. An officer bowed and greeted him came over.
"Everyone is very idle, making rumors here."
The soldiers stood up with panic and stood up straight, not daring to show their vigor.
"Since you are so idle, then you can transfer to the scout team!"
Leaving this sentence, the middle-aged man shook his hand and left.
Scouts? The scouts that had most of the casualties in one night? Several soldiers turned pale.
...
"How is it?" the middle-aged commander suddenly said after walking for a while.
The officer who had just said hello followed behind and immediately said, "They are still running, but they did not have any signs of cooking last night."
"Yeah." The middle-aged commander had no extra expression, and seemed to have expected this answer.
"Sir, it's been three days, we..."
"Chasing!" the middle-aged man said firmly.
"But our food supply is only three days after half of the supply. If this continues, we may not be able to get out of the jungle..."
"Then cut the supply by half!"
"This..." the officer hesitated when he heard this, and finally did not say the possibility of mutiny.
The middle-aged commander looked into the distance: "Those untouchables can run for three days without food, why can't we?"
"Uh..." The officer was silent. He knew very well what the chief was thinking now. The gray-clothed army was not far ahead of them, and had already lost food. Maybe waiting for another day, or even waiting for a long time, the other party would collapse... But, don't they have this idea when they enter the jungle? Now it's three days...
"Sir! Sir..."
Suddenly, a soldier dressed as a scout rushed over.
The middle-aged commander frowned slightly. Could it be that the scout team was cleaned up again?
The scout came near and saluted, "The gray-clothed army has camped in front, they are building fortifications."
...The middle-aged commander and the officer looked at each other, and for a moment they couldn't believe their ears.
"You... say it again!"
"Uh, the gray-clothed army stopped, they..."
"Okay!" The middle-aged commander roared and interrupted the soldiers' words, and took two steps left and right. "Haha, can't you hold on? These untouchables, untouchables... passed my order, and the team gathered immediately and advanced forward at high speed."
"Sir, but breakfast..."
"The Grey Army is our best breakfast!"
…………
With a command, the army set off immediately.
The middle-aged commander rode on the horse, first sent a scout team to constantly inquire about the news. Then he sent the officers to urge the soldiers to advance faster. Who knew if these untouchables would suddenly run away again...
Twenty miles, ten miles, five miles, three miles...
The team of hundreds of people from the gray-clothed army finally appeared in the sight of the pursuers again.
The jungle environment is naturally full of trees, but in the places where the gray-clothed army is stationed, the trees, grasses, shrubs, etc. are all cut down, forming a huge open space.
As for the cut down trees, they are all used to pile up on all sides to form bunkers.
After the pursuit arrived, they did not attack immediately. Instead, the two wings advanced first, trying to surround the camp.
The gray-clothed army was indifferent to this and was still piled up bunkers, looking like they were fighting to the death.
Seeing that the soldiers completely surrounded the fortifications of the Gray-Clothed Army, the middle-aged commander finally felt relieved. Accompanied by a group of officers, he came to the front of the team.
"Hey, these untouchables are idiots. What do you think? They actually built fortifications in a depression... Oh, they are going to fight to the death now, so they have no way out." The middle-aged commander thought that he had thought of the intention of the gray-clothed army, so he felt more at ease. It seemed that these gray-clothed army knew that there was no hope of escaping, so he wanted to fight for it in the end...
"This fortification is too big..." An officer next to him said in surprise after observing.
The gray-clothed army had only more than 300 people, but the fortifications they built could almost twice the number of people. Of course, the larger the camp, the better. You should know that the larger the area, the greater the defense depth. If there is no corresponding number of people, it is easy to be broken.
"A bunch of unruly people know what military affairs are they doing! I guess they think they are in their backyard, so the bigger the better." The officer laughed at the side.
"Haha, too!"
While talking and laughing, everyone commented on the fortifications of the gray-clothed army. The content was naturally ridiculed and ridiculed.
It’s no wonder they are so relaxed and confident. Everyone is engaged in military affairs and is an expert. Naturally, it can be seen that this fortification is simply vulnerable. Ten minutes? Fifteen minutes? Probably that’s it…
The middle-aged commander was also full of confidence and looked at the officers: "The generals obey the order..."
"I have borrowed it, borrowed it...boiled it, burn it...borrowed it, borrowed it..."
Well……
The officers turned their heads and saw a soldier in plate armor keep shouting and jogging in from outside the encirclement.
The battle formations were not allowed to break through, so many squad leaders shouted. However, the soldier turned a deaf ear and just kept walking inside.
Finally someone couldn't help but try to take him down. But the soldier was really slippery and turned left and right in the team, like a loach, making people unable to succeed.
The noisy scene looked really funny, and the soldiers around were a little stunned for a moment.
The middle-aged commander's face turned pale, while the officers next to him looked at each other, where did he come out to live?
The fortifications of the Gray Clothes Army were built quite large, so the encirclement of two thousand people was not too dense. In addition, everyone was stunned, and after a while, the soldier was passing through it. Then... well, he actually rushed towards the fortification...
Under the eyes of everyone, the soldier was quick to climb on the wooden fortifications, like climbing a mountain wall. Finally, he jumped up lightly and flipped in. The gray-clothed army immediately cheered.
The pursuit was in a mess, what was going on?
Huh... the middle-aged commander took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart: "All the generals obey orders...uh?"
No one came to interrupt him this time. It was the middle-aged commander who suddenly stared at the front with his eyes wide open and stared blankly. In fact, it was not just him, but also the officers, all the soldiers were staring at him in amazement...
I saw a wisp of black smoke suddenly rise from the fortification, followed by another wisp... Soon, the thick smoke seemed to have a size and rolled into the sky. At this time, a fire was also hidden from the wooden bunker...
