Chapter 436: Meeting the Enemy
At Fort No. 73, Advisor Rao hadn't slept much the previous night. When he received the message from Chen Chuan and the others early in the morning, he murmured, "Looks like everything's fine..."
Then he breathed a sigh of relief. He thought about it, gritted his teeth, went to the radio station, and activated a secret channel that led to the intelligence operations room.
He sent a telegram there, "Requesting to initiate intelligence deception."
After a while, a simple reply came from the other end: "Are you sure?"
Consultant Rao paused for a moment, then immediately pressed a series of reply signals:
"Sure!"
Next to a stream on the mountainside, the cavalry soldiers responsible for reconnaissance and communication reported the news and then quickly left.
The dedicated warrior approached the Iron Demon and reported, "Captain, the team pursuing us spent the night outside. They have a way to resist the unusual attacks in the dark. I suggest destroying them as soon as possible."
The Iron Demon, sitting upright on his horse, didn't respond immediately. After a while, a voice came from behind the mask: "Let's keep them hanging for another day or two. If they still follow us, we'll move out."
The dedicated warrior said, "But what if they continue to follow? Then we'll just have to keep dodging them. We won't be able to do anything. Besides, if we don't take this opportunity to deal with them quickly, our retreat will always be precarious."
It was the advantage of marching in the dark that allowed them to traverse this land with ease. Even a small team could disrupt the enemy's rear.
If the enemy now has this capability, the threat to them is self-evident, not to mention that they seem to be moving freely now, but are actually in the enemy's hinterland. If they are really blocked here, they may be surrounded at any time.
At this time, a cavalry soldier who was in charge of the radio station put down his headphones, came over with the translated message, and said, "Captain, we have received an insider report that one or two more teams are approaching us and are expected to reach us within two or three days.
The enemy's Fortress No. 104 has been confirmed to be blocked, and there are reports that the rear has also requested a combat airship."
The dedicated warrior immediately looked at the Iron Demon and said, "Captain, we can't delay any longer!"
One team was easy to deal with, but if another team surrounded them, they would be at a complete disadvantage. The root of all this was the team behind them. If they could deal with it, they would have a much wider range of options.
The Iron Demon seemed silent for a moment.
He had felt some kind of warning in his heart when he attacked the fortress before, but he never felt it again, including when that team chased him out. But it seemed that there was another voice in his heart telling him to try to avoid that team this time.
However, the change in the situation has forced him to make a decision.
He said, "Send the message, mount the horses, and set off in ten minutes."
"yes!"
Dozens of cavalrymen received the order and immediately sorted out their equipment and checked each other. After just a few minutes, all of them mounted their horses and galloped towards the location of Chen Chuan and his group.
In front of the SUV, Qin Qingque received the telegram and handed it to Chen Chuan with both hands. "Captain, this is a telegram from Consultant Rao. Please review it."
Chen Chuan took it and asked, "Intelligence deception..."
He thought for a moment that the Iron Demon must have an insider, which was why he dared to move back and forth in their hinterland.
The intelligence deception said that there were two other teams approaching them quickly. When the Iron Demon learned of this news, there would only be one reaction.
He raised his head, met the two people looking at him, and said, "Be prepared. If nothing unexpected happens, the Iron Demon will come looking for us soon."
Yuan Qiyuan's spirits lifted, and he eagerly asked, "Captain, are we just going to wait here?"
Chen Chuan said: "No, since they are coming to find us, we can't let them get too comfortable. Let's change the place and arrange it."
Qin Qingque immediately said, "Captain, there's a place we passed by before that I think is quite suitable."
"Okay, let's go to the place you said."
The three of them packed up quickly and walked towards the off-road vehicle. At this moment, suddenly a spear flew from the air and fell towards them.
Yuan Qiyuan suddenly turned around and grabbed the spear. His arm was steady and motionless, only the spear shaft was shaking. He raised his eyebrows, he could feel that the person throwing the spear was at least two miles away, but was hidden by the dense forest in the distance and could not be seen.
Chen Chuanze didn't even look back and walked into the car calmly. Qin Qingque also didn't care and sat directly in the driver's seat.
Yuan Qiyuan turned the spear in his hand, folded his hands, and threw the broken spear to the ground. Then he turned over and jumped into the car through the opening above the roof, and then grabbed the machine gun on it.
If any cavalrymen come close at this time, they will be fired at with a volley of bullets.
The off-road vehicle started quickly and drove towards a certain direction.
Chen Chuan sat in his seat, thinking about something in his mind.
He had been wondering what exactly the Iron Demon's sense of danger was. He thought it was probably a manifestation of his spiritual refinement reaching near perfection.
Of course, it could also be the special ability of a demon or ghost, but due to the lack of information, it is difficult to confirm at the moment.
But this seems very difficult to deal with, as if it can always avoid danger.
But he believed that even a spiritual warning always needed an object. The other party retreated that night, and the problem might be with himself.
So after he came out of the fortress, he merged with his second self and moved away from all external invasions and various strange places.
No matter whether it works or not, just give it a try first.
After driving for more than two hours, the off-road vehicle came to an open area. It was a place near a river. The river was turbulent and the view was panoramic in all directions.
And near the river there is a large area of soft mud, which is nothing for fighters, but it is completely different for heavy horses.
This place can effectively prevent the rapid charge of cavalry, and with a wide river behind it, it can also prevent the enemy from outflanking from behind.
In fact, it was just an ordinary cavalry charge, which was of no significance to them. Those horses were not as fast as they could move instantly. Instead, it would only expose more flaws to them. Besides, the machine guns on the roof of their vehicles were not for decoration.
However, these dragon-nosed horses have been modified through implants and are controlled by fighters, so they may have some special features, so they would rather be conservative in their tactical choices.
After the three of them parked the car, they used tools to make some simple arrangements outside, and then began to make pre-war adjustments.
Yuan Qiyuan took out his telescopic stick, walked to the side, took out a cloth and wiped it there, then stood there holding the stick, slightly closing his eyes, as if practicing some kind of breathing technique.
He didn't look nervous on the outside, but he was tense mentally. Qin Qingque on the other side was a little different. He was in a relaxed state, as if he had long been accustomed to this situation.
However, after more than half an hour, sporadic horse shadows appeared in front, and then gradually increased in number, but they stopped about seven or eight miles away.
After seeing this, Chen Chuan got out of the car, adjusted his uniform slightly, put on his mask, straightened his wide-brimmed hat, and then walked slowly to the front holding the Xuejun Knife.
Yuan Qiyuan came to his left side at this time, opened his legs, held a long stick across his body, and stood there steadily.
Qin Qingque took a red-tasseled spear and stood to Chen Chuan's right. She then stuck the spear into the ground, removed the halberd spear from her back, and pointed it forward.
The people in the cavalry seemed to be observing them. After a while, the cavalry split up, with two teams circling far to the sides, leaving only one team in the middle.
Three knights stood out from the crowd of cavalrymen, about ten meters apart from each other, and slowly drove their horses forward in a V-shape. When they were about five hundred meters away, the three men got off their horses and walked towards them.
They did not choose to fight on horseback because once the third-level fighters started moving, the speed of the horses was a joke and could be easily avoided in the open, not to mention that the land here was soft.
However, they did not rely on these. The teams that surrounded and killed them before tried to behead the third-level fighters first, and then get rid of the rest.
Of course, the other party usually has the same intention, but until now, they have never lost.
The two dedicated warriors walking beside the Iron Demon had great confidence in him, because their captain's spirit and body had been polished to perfection, and after undergoing that kind of transformation, he could no longer be regarded as a simple person. The potential he could unleash far exceeded the definition of a human being.
If the other party does not realize this and does not understand this, then they are destined to have the same ending as those who chased them before.
Chen Chuan stared at the man in the middle. He looked almost the same as in the photo. He was wearing heavy armor and a stab-proof robe. He should be the Iron Demon.
This man was estimated to be over 1.9 meters tall, his eyes behind the mask were blood red, and he seemed to have a strong smell of blood lingering around him.
The two people behind him were over two meters tall, holding spears in their hands and five javelins stuck behind their backs. When they walked over, their breathing and body rhythm were consistent, and it was obvious that they had a very high level of tacit understanding with each other.
Qin Qingque raised her gun at this time and shot the man on the right side of Tie Yao. When the other party saw her movement, he immediately raised his hands to cover his face. After the gunshot, his body shook slightly, but his steps did not stop.
She didn't stop and fired another shot at another of the three people, who made the same defensive move.
Next, the sound of gunfire continued to ring out in the wilderness, and bullets kept hitting three people. After the magazine was empty, she quickly replaced the magazine and continued shooting.
But the three men didn't care about the bullets hitting them at all. They just kept the original pace and walked forward silently.
Amidst the sound of gunfire, the three men gradually approached to a distance of two hundred meters. At this time, a man behind the Iron Demon suddenly took out the spear from behind him and threw it towards this side.
The point where the spear landed was exactly where Chen Chuan was!
