Chapter 448: Deployment of Defense Overnight

"Interesting."

Ganymede looked at the vultures in front of him, a smile gradually appeared on his face.

He looked at the wolf, and the look in his eyes was quite playful, which made the wolf have a bad feeling.

"What did you see?"

The wolf asked.

These vultures are Ganymede's eyes. He can watch the scenes that these vultures have seen through the eyes of the vultures. "People from your tribe are here."   The wolf was surprised by his words, his eyes widened, and he was speechless for a while.   The shadows of the broken tribes flashed through his eyes one by one, and he seemed to see the future of this team. "Do you want

to be an   enemy of the God of Fire?"   He questioned, wanting to use the God of Fire to drive away the enemy, even though he knew that it was impossible. This was just his instinctive reaction.   "I can't find what I want among these tribes. I don't mind looking for it in the east."   Ganymede no longer had any interest in forcing these scattered large tribes. He was ready to take action against the Fire Tribe Alliance.   Perhaps he had this idea a long time ago, but he had never implemented it.   The Greedy Wolf watched Ganymede order the beasts and tribes to devour the tribe in front of him, and then summoned the army to go east.   That was the direction of a tribe they had devoured before, and it was there that the team led by Shi found the remains of the tribe.   The beasts and the tribal coalition rumbled eastward, and the Greedy Wolf was led by Ganymede to float above the team.   This time the Greedy Wolf did not attack Ganymede violently, not because he gave up, but because he knew it was meaningless.   He was thinking about how to send a message to the people of the Wolf Tribe and ask them to evacuate, but he had no answer after thinking hard for a long time.   …………   "They are following us."   Ju said to Yu while looking at the vultures hovering in the sky.   Yu nodded and nervously grasped the longbow in his hand. He had tried to shoot down the vultures in the sky before, but it was too far away.   "It would be great if the leader of the Sun Tribe was here."   At this distance, only the Sunset Bow could shoot, and other bows and arrows would be useless.   "There are no ifs in war, only results."   Ju said, no longer paying attention to the vulture above his head, and rode forward to the front of the team.   They were looking for favorable terrain. They had previously made short camps on three hills, but they were all rejected by Shi after he woke up.   According to Shi's request, they need to find a mountain that is steep enough, preferably steeper on both sides, so that they can cause an avalanche and prevent endless wild beasts from rushing up.   The scattered reconnaissance warriors have found such a place and are rushing over.   The sky gradually darkened, and before the last ray of light fell, they finally arrived in front of this mountain.   "It's very steep. It's too dangerous to go up at night. Let's wait until tomorrow."   Ju said, looking at the steep mountain.   Yu nodded. He also did not recommend climbing this slope at night, which could easily cause unnecessary casualties.   "Clear the snow and go up on solid ground. It's not as dangerous as you think."   Shi's voice came from behind, and the two of them turned around and saluted.   "There's no need to be so anxious. We haven't seen any trace of the enemy yet."   Ya expressed a different opinion. Shi shook his head and pointed to the left and right.   "It's not suitable to stay here. If the enemy comes at night, they will go around the mountain and rush down from the top, which will be disadvantageous to us."   When Ya raised the question, Ju had already arranged people to remove the snow. He never questioned the orders of his master.   "Too cautious."   Ya still felt that Shi's request was a bit excessive. After all, climbing such a steep snow slope at night was too dangerous for both warriors and war horses.   He was not looking for trouble, nor did he want to butt heads with Shi. In fact, his idea made sense. At least Ju was much more careful when arranging the climb.   But even so, climbing a snowy mountain slope in the dark and windy night is still very dangerous. When the whole army reached the top of the mountain late at night to reorganize the team, they found that more than a dozen people had disappeared.   These dozen people should have fallen down the slope halfway, or were seriously injured and couldn't climb up, or were still climbing again from below.   "I'll go down to find them."   Yu looked down from above, and the mountain slope was like a beast that devoured life, which made him a little scared.   "There is no time, the enemy is here."   Torch interrupted him and looked at the restless wolves on the side.   Humans' foresight of danger is far lower than that of beasts, and the five senses of the totem tribe beasts with totem power are sharper than ordinary beasts.   "Line up, get ready to repel the enemy."   Seeing this, Yu immediately drew out the stone knife from his waist, shouted as he walked towards his team and began to organize defense.   This kind of terrain is not suitable for cavalry combat, so all warriors must be transformed into infantry, and the giant wolves can also be used as infantry, which is something the Wolf Tribe has rehearsed long ago.   But the mountains are not neat, and there is more than one path up from below, so how to deploy defenses becomes very sophisticated, and he must do all of this before the enemy comes up.   Compared to Yu's busyness, Ju is much better.   The team's combat skills are extremely high, and the captain-level sergeants can find a way to defend themselves, so he doesn't have to worry about it at all.   He put more attention on observing the enemy and found that the giant wolves in the west were more agitated, while those in the east did not react much.   "The enemy may attack from the west, change defense."

Ju found the busy Yu and directly asked the team to switch guards with the Wolf Tribe team.

Yu was busy for a long time before finding the western defense point. In the end, he heard such a sentence. He found it hard to accept it for a while, but he quickly adjusted his mentality and agreed.

Although the Wolf Tribe warriors had practiced infantry combat, it was not the most important method after all, and it was far inferior to the team.

In addition, facing unknown enemies, the infantry combat formation deployed by the Wolf Tribe warriors was not tight enough, which might cause problems. It would be better to let the team take the lead. They are all professional warriors and can handle any situation.

"Chief Shi hasn't woken up yet?"

Yu asked Ju during the gap of switching guards.

Ju shook his head to indicate no.

When Shi wakes up is decided by himself, and it is difficult for them to wake up the sleeping Shi.

But Shi himself said that when he was sleeping, he also had a certain perception of the outside world, and he would wake up at the critical moment.

It seems that he did not think this was a critical moment.

"We can only rely on us."

Yu sighed.

Ju glanced at him, nodded and said nothing.

Yu's words exposed his fear and dependence on Shi, but Ju was not like that. He believed in himself. Even if he knew that Shi would handle it better, he believed that he could do it well.

Such self-confidence came from Shi's teachings to him.

Shi once told him that if you are a soldier, the most important quality is obedience.

Obey the leadership of your superiors, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, even if there is an abyss ahead, as long as it is a military order, you must step over it.

That time he asked Shi, what if it was a general? What is the most important thing?

Confidence.

Shi answered without hesitation. He said that self-confidence can allow a general to maximize his war talent and still have the possibility of turning the tables when the war is unfavorable.

Ju was puzzled at the time, because Zhuo, the first general of the Fire Tribe Alliance, did not seem to have such self-confidence and was loyal and simple. How could he win?

Being simple is his self-confidence.

This is the answer given by Shi. Self-confidence is a kind of belief. With your belief in yourself, you can do whatever you want and survive in desperate situations.

From then on, Ju kept these deeply in mind and acted in accordance with this principle.

He asked the soldiers to obey orders and he asked himself to act with confidence. He has done a good job in recent years. Not only he thinks so, but everyone, including Shi, thinks so.

"Come on, eat millet, check your weapons, the front team should be alert, the back team should rest, and we will change guards after one alert period."

Ju came to the front of the team and began to issue military orders.

There were 2,000 soldiers in the team, more than 400 in the front team were on alert, and 1,600 in the back were resting, some were eating, some were wiping their weapons, and some were just lying down to take a nap.

Ju kept walking among the teams to confirm the defense points they chose and whether the alert soldiers were lax. After checking several times, he borrowed some giant wolves from Yu and placed them in front of the team.

These giant wolves are responsible for vigilance, and they will be alerted immediately once the enemy approaches.

If a battle occurs, the giant wolves will bypass the front team and retreat. The team's style of play is not suitable for these giant wolves. After

about an hour, the team began to change guards, from the front row to the back row. Most of the warriors who had just arrived at the back row fell asleep directly, so that they could recover their strength faster.

After three changes of guard, the enemy still did not come up, and the giant wolves in the front row became more and more vigilant, which proved that although the enemy did not attack, it was indeed approaching.

Time passed slowly, and Shi woke up once during this period. He simply checked the position and rested again.

Slowly, the morning light began to appear through the clouds, and the sky and the earth were clear.

"Change guard."

Ju accelerated the pace of the change of guard and asked all the warriors to eat.

He guessed that the enemy would attack after daybreak, because the enemy who had prepared all night did not rest, and waiting any longer would become disadvantageous to the enemy.

"Do you want me to send some warriors to help?"

Ya came over and said to Ju who had not slept all night.

He also guessed that the enemy would attack in the early morning, and it seemed that they would choose the west.

Ju shook his head, licked the snowflakes that fell on his lips, and tried to look down the mountain.

Now the area within his sight was completely lit, and the snowflakes blown by the north wind blocked his vision.

"Be careful of enemy sneak attacks, just guard your side."

Ya nodded, took another look at the western line of defense, and walked towards the direction he was guarding.

Shortly after dawn, the giant wolf in front of the team became more and more restless, and the roar of wild beasts could be heard faintly from behind the wind and snow.

"Someone is suppressing the beasts' ferocity. If they were not restrained, they would have attacked long ago."

Shi's voice came, and Ju immediately stood up to salute.

Shi bowed, took a few steps forward, and looked down from a high position.

"Can an avalanche be triggered here?"

The surrounding environment was not clear at night, and the situation would change after dawn.

"No, the mountains on both sides are low, and the sound cannot resonate."

Ju said regretfully.

Shi nodded without much surprise, and the black mist shrank and entered a resting state again.
