Chapter 24 Breakout 4
Green Flag Campground.
When the thin officer discovered that Army Leader Harold and Deputy Army Leader Ban had attracted the attention of Ou Yun's four intermediate fighters, he immediately ordered Team No. 3 and Team No. 4 to start breaking out together.
The breakout direction of Team No. 3 was the south of the Green Flag Camp, where the military road had been built, while Team No. 4 was heading towards the other three directions except the south.
The number of people participating in the breakout in each direction is about the same, and this is also the plan formulated by the command.
Use Harold, the only intermediate warrior in the Green Flag Camp, and Ban who can cast the Wind Spell to attract Ouyun's intermediate warriors, and then let the real breakout team break out from the military road. Once they shake off the pursuit of the Ouyun natives, it will be difficult for the Ouyun natives to catch up with the breakout team on the military road.
Looking at the teams breaking out from four directions, the thin officer began to command the remaining people to burn the camp and the remaining food and grass.
The Ouyun Continent is still in an agricultural society and has a huge demand for food. This time, hundreds of thousands of natives were suddenly mobilized to encircle and suppress the Green Flag Camp, so the food reserves are definitely insufficient.
He took the officers of the command center and hid in a makeshift cellar, which contained a lot of food and water. As long as they were not discovered by the natives of Ouyun, they would have no problem living in the cellar for a month or two.
This is also the reason why he wanted to burn the food and grass. Without food and grass, if the natives of Ouyun did not want to face the attack from the Jeff Empire from the military direction, they would definitely have to give up garrisoning in the Green Flag Camp. Then they could come out of the cellar.
If the Ouyun natives were to risk everything and defend the Green Flag Camp, they would be dead.
……
To the south of the Green Flag Camp, Richard looked back from his horse. The Green Flag Camp had now turned into a sea of fire, and Richard's handsome face was also flushed red.
Hansen rushed over from behind and said, "The Green Flag Camp is probably going to be burned to the ground now. We should evacuate as soon as possible."
Richard calmed himself down and used the Light Body Technique on Hansen. Since Hansen was an official knight, the effect of the Light Body Technique was also applied to his mount, increasing its speed by 10% within ten minutes.
Due to his talent of multitasking, Richard can keep himself in a state of meditation and his magic power recovers very quickly.
In addition, the duration of the light body technique is ten minutes, so Richard cast the light body technique on his warhorse, Hansen, Pine and George.
Team No. 3 was basically composed of officers and their followers, and they quickly approached the battlefield of Team No. 1.
"Oh no! These despicable Ouyun natives actually dug up the military road."
"What should I do now?"
"How about we go around it from the side."
Richard also discovered something was wrong. From the shouts of the people in front, he could tell that the besieged military roads must have been dug up by the Ouyun natives.
The current military road is full of potholes, just like rabbit holes on the grassland. It would be fine if only people were breaking through, but war horses do not have such high resolution ability. In addition, it is a night operation, so it is definitely impossible to ride through on horseback.
Fortunately, there is a deputy commander in the No. 3 team. He quickly discovered the abnormality and ordered: "The natives of Ouyun can't dig many military roads in just a few days. We will go around the jungle first and return to the military road when we find a complete military road."
Then several hundred people from the No. 3 Army turned to the nearby jungle.
Richard frowned. Since the Ouyun soldiers had thought of digging a military road, they must have been prepared to break out of the Green Flag Camp in the direction of the military road.
If we continue to move in this direction now, we will probably run into an ambush of the Ouyun soldiers. I don't know how many Ouyun natives' deployments have been disrupted by Team No. 1.
However, Richard himself had little influence, so he told George about his guess. After listening, George felt that Richard's guess made sense.
George immediately rode his horse to catch up with the deputy army commander in front and told him about Richard's guess.
Richard didn't know how George communicated with the deputy army commander. The deputy army commander looked back and then said something to George. George gestured for Richard to come over.
"You mean what you said about us being ambushed by the natives of Ouyun?" The deputy commander had a face full of flesh and muscular body, and his arms were trained to be thicker than Richard's legs.
Richard nodded and said loudly: "Since the Ouyun soldiers have already dug a military road, it means they must have guessed that we are planning to break out from this direction. If they continue to break out from this direction, they must have arranged an ambush."
The deputy commander smiled playfully and asked, "Oh? So what do you think we should do now?"
Richard thought about it carefully and said, "Our soldiers are strong in their quality, while Ouyun's soldiers are strong in their numbers. Now that Ouyun's soldiers are powerful, we definitely can't fight them with eggs, but should avoid their sharp edge."
"Since we are now marching in the jungle, we might as well stay away from the military road and continue marching in this direction."
"Since the Ouyun soldiers had planned to ambush us long ago, the military tunnels they dug must be quite long. Although I don't know exactly how many military tunnels they dug, I was attacked by Ouyun soldiers before I arrived at the Green Flag Camp. Their radiation range must be very wide."
"Even if we are marching in the jungle, our speed will be much faster than that of the Ouyun soldiers. If the Ouyun soldiers want to intercept us, they can only rely on encirclement and interception. We can avoid the enemy's ambush and break out more easily."
In order to save his life, Richard gave a long speech of his own opinions. He didn't know if he could convince the deputy army leader. If he couldn't convince the deputy army leader, Richard couldn't leave the team without permission and had to stay with them.
The deputy commander nodded and said, "That makes sense, but why don't you call those Ouyun people indigenous people like us?"
Richard wiped the non-existent sweat off his face. He just still retained some of the ideas before the time travel that everyone is equal, but it would definitely not be okay to say this to the deputy army commander.
"Reporting to the deputy commander, I am despising the enemy strategically and taking him seriously tactically. Only by taking the enemy seriously tactically can we avoid making mistakes due to despising the enemy."
The deputy commander smiled and said, "What a good strategy of despising the enemy strategically and taking him seriously tactically."
"If we can break out this time, I can recommend you to serve in the General Staff."
George on the side suddenly said, "Deputy Army Commander, Richard is already a Level 2 wizard at the age of sixteen. It would be a waste of his talent if he went to the General Staff."
The deputy commander was surprised and stopped talking about Richard joining the staff. Although the army attached great importance to the staff, it did not prevent the discrimination against the weak in places that valued strength. The status of the staff was not high in the army.
"Pass on my order, stay away from the military road and keep moving forward."
