When the call of the gray forest owl faintly reached his ears, Sebanda narrowed his eyes. The bird's call was a signal, telling him that the other side was ready for the attack. You know, the gray forest owl only lives in the Kimo territory, there is no such thing in Hulit.

Then let's get started. After thinking this in his mind, Saibanda hooked his finger at a longbowman lying on the side waiting for orders: "Shoot the guy standing next to the hammock to death."

The longbowman nodded, glanced forward and found the target. After estimating the distance, the longbowman turned over and changed from lying to standing, because only in this way could he maximize the power of the longbow.

With a swing of the bow, a feather arrow was already on the string. With a stretch of his arms, the tip of the arrow tilted slightly upwards and instantly aimed at the person beside the hammock.

The one standing next to the hammock was naturally the spotted wolf. When the longbowman pointed the arrow at him from a distance, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"General, I'm aiming." The longbowman said softly, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, because the man he was aiming at suddenly turned his body and faced him from his original sideways position.

I don’t know why, but the longbowman felt that the man was smiling, and it was a very relaxed smile.

Discovered?! Saibanda also noticed this change. After a flash of thought, he shouted out a word at the fastest speed - "Kill!"

"Bang", the bowstring sounded and the arrow flew out.

Saibanda stared at the spotted wolf intently, because the arrow shot by the longbowman was so fast that he couldn't catch its trajectory at all, so fast that he believed that in the next moment, the spotted wolf would be hit by the arrow and fall down 100%...

The moment the arrow was about to strike, Spotted Wolf's right arm moved. From what Saibanda could see, Spotted Wolf's right hand just moved lightly, and a ray of white light swept across his chest. Then, the gray light that was about to work was fiercely bounced away...

How did he manage to shoot such an arrow so quickly at such a short distance? ! As Saibanda was stunned, a dull sound came to his ears - "bang".

The longbowman who had just shot the arrow suddenly felt his body shaken and fell sideways.

Saibanda was startled and quickly lowered his head and crouched to take a look. He saw that a large piece of the longbowman's left face was broken off by something, and the bloody mess looked particularly hideous.

"General." A centurion crawled to Saibanda's side, "It seems we have been discovered."

"What do you mean by like? It is exactly like that!" Saibanda's eyes turned cold: "Prepare for battle!"

"Yes!" The centurion nodded, pushed himself up with his hands, and climbed up from the ground.

"Bang!" The moment the second muffled sound rang out, the centurion's body shook and he knelt heavily beside Saibanda. Saibanda glanced and saw that the centurion was looking at him in horror, his two hands desperately covering his neck, and bright red blood was constantly gushing out from between his fingers.

"Hide behind the tree! Hide behind the tree! Longbowmen, shoot your arrows quickly!" After Saibanda shouted loudly, the people behind him retreated and hid behind the trees.

"Bang!" After the third gunshot, a longbowman who had just hidden behind a tree fell to the ground, and the leather armor on his abdomen instantly turned red.

"Bang!", the fourth person fell down...

"Bang!" The fifth person suddenly leaned back and fell to the ground with a look of horror...

"Bang, bang, bang, bang..." "Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish!" The longbowmen finally fired a rain of arrows. Saibanda saw it clearly. As soon as the arrows flew out, the two people beside the hammock had already dodged and hid behind a big tree. So even though the rain of arrows had covered that area the next moment, Saibanda knew that this wave of attack was in vain.

"Keep shooting! Don't stop! Suppress them! Everyone else, charge forward!" Saibanda quickly got up from the ground, but before he could straighten up, he heard a sharp and piercing whistle in his ears...

"Bang!" A loud noise suddenly sounded about ten steps behind Saibanda. Saibanda instantly felt a huge force pushing his back hard, and the whole person flew out involuntarily. As his body rolled in the air, he caught a glimpse of a large cloud of mud, dust and smoke, which was mixed with branches, leaves, broken limbs and the like.

What was going on? As soon as this thought flashed through Saibanda's mind, he crashed into a tree trunk. The sudden pain in his chest and abdomen made him faint instantly...

When Saibanda opened his eyes again, the first thing that caught his eye was a young face with a playful smile.

Saibanda stared at the face for a moment before realizing that the man in front of him was the one he had ordered to be shot.

I want to kill him. As soon as Saibanda had this thought, he found that in addition to the pain all over his body, it was also difficult for him to breathe. Not to mention getting up to kill someone, it was difficult for him to even move slightly.

"It's very painful, right?" Spotted Wolf shook his head and said to Saibanda, "Most of your ribs are broken. I'm almost certain that at least one or two of them have pierced into your lungs. So unfortunately, you will die soon."

Will I die soon? Saibanda was shocked and looked up with great pain, and saw that there were more than ten people busy carrying the body.

“All my people…” Saibanda’s heart sank completely.

"I really want to help you end your suffering as soon as possible, but unfortunately, we have a rule that people like you can only be saved and not killed, but there is no way to save you." Spotted Wolf simply sat down next to Saibanda, "Don't think I'm too nosy, I just want to talk to you for a few minutes. By the way, do you know why your attack was unsuccessful?"

Yes, why? Saibanda couldn't help but think along with what the wolf said.

"When you started your reconnaissance, the lens of the telescope emitted sunlight." Spotted Wolf took out the telescope and shook it. After a chuckle, he continued, "Also, your abilities are simply not worthy of our attention. Do you know who we are? We are the special forces company under the command of the Lord of Assyria, the Speaker of the Senate, and the Great Priest Saint Wulai. When Hulit attacked Assyria, we were the ones stationed in the Gap Defense Zone..."

As he listened, Saibanda's consciousness gradually became blurred. He felt like he had fallen into an ice hole. The ice hole was very cold, so cold that he shivered. The ice hole was also very deep, so deep that he had fallen for a long time but still had not touched the bottom.

After putting the cleaned guns back into the wooden box, Wu Lai glanced at the spotted wolf and asked the maned wolf who was carrying a bundle of longbows and quivers, "Who is the spotted wolf talking to again?"

"Report to the Lord." Maned Wolf quickly put down the things on his shoulders. "Lieutenant Spotted Wolf is talking to a dying enemy leader. Lieutenant Spotted Wolf said that the man is beyond saving. Talking to him more to divert his attention is to implement the humanitarianism you mentioned, Lord."

"Did he say that himself?" Wu Lai was stunned.

The maned wolf nodded and said, "My lord, that's what Lieutenant Spotted Wolf said."

"This brat is just itching to talk nonsense, what kind of 'humanitarianism' is this? You guys go about your business first, and wait and see how I'll deal with him later." Wu Lai waved his hand.

As he bent down to pick up the longbow quiver, the maned wolf laughed quietly. How could he not know that Wu Lai was just talking?

"The enemy is becoming more and more cunning. They even want to engage in special operations. They dare to come out with this level of training? It's really embarrassing." Wu Lai muttered to himself as he carried the gun box to the hammock. Just when he was about to do a beautiful "somersault onto the hammock", a soldier from the special forces company ran over with sweat all over his forehead.

"Report to the Lord! An urgent message from Commander Odo."

Wu Lai put the gun box on the hammock, took the letter, opened it and glanced at it, then a smile appeared on his face...

…

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

As the sun was setting, Oddo hurried down the observation tower.

The fourth regiment commander came forward and said, "Commander, everyone has been notified."

"Okay." Oddo nodded. "This time, I will be the rear guard with your four regiments. If the enemy pursues us, we must hold on and provide sufficient time for the other four regiments to arrive at the designated location smoothly."

"Don't worry, Commander. The 4th Regiment is guaranteed to complete the mission. But there is no need for you to stay with the 4th Regiment. You still have to command them. Leave the rear guard to me. You can take a company and retreat with the other regiments." The commander of the 4th Regiment suggested.

"Obey orders!" Oddo frowned. He was really not confident in letting the Fourth Regiment Commander lead the rear guard. It was not because he disliked the Fourth Regiment Commander's ability, but because the artillery must be retreated in advance. The Fourth Regiment, without artillery and having to fight and retreat at the same time, not only had to face enemies that were several times larger than itself, but was also far inferior to the enemy in terms of weapons. If they were not careful, not only would the entire army be wiped out, but even Wu Lai's plan would be ruined.

"Yes!" The fourth captain quickly agreed. Oddo always kept his word, so he didn't dare to insist any longer.

"Hurry up and check it again to make sure there are no mistakes." After giving the order, Oddo glanced around, walked to a dead tree lying on the ground and sat down. He took off his sword, took out a piece of linen from his trouser pocket and wiped it.

…

When night fell, Heger rode his horse into the new camp. He was now only forty miles away from the Assyrian army, which was obviously a very dangerous distance because it was five miles closer than yesterday's camp.

Yesterday evening and this morning, Hagrid sent out two teams of a thousand men to sneak over and harass. Yesterday evening's team was better, but this morning's team lost nearly half a centaur. Hagrid was so distressed that he was jumping up and down. If the White Shield Army on the opposite side had not sent a messenger asking Hagrid to stay firmly behind this army, Hagrid would have thought of retreating to the vicinity of Samedaya City.

When he dismounted, the general in charge of building the temporary camp came up to him and said, "General, you have worked hard. The moonlight is beautiful tonight. The enemy will not come to raid the camp. You can sleep well now."

"Anzhen? Humph, let's wait until the Assyrian army leaves Hulit." Hagrid frowned and said, he was not too worried about the Assyrian army sneaking into his camp, because as long as he was a little more vigilant, he could run away even if he couldn't defeat them. Besides, the Assyrian army didn't need to sneak into his camp.

"The general is right. Look at my memory. I almost forgot what the general said. We are attacking the Assyrian army together with the Baidun Pass army." The deputy general said hurriedly.

"Pinch attack? Oh, yes, I did say that." Hagrid nodded, thinking that the original intention of White Shield Pass was to have Hulet City send out 40,000 to 50,000 troops. Now he only has so many troops to deal with the situation, so how can he talk about pinching attack?

"Be more vigilant. The moonlight is good tonight, so the sentry posts need to be better concealed. The use of fire in the camp is strictly prohibited." Hagrid ordered again.

"Yes, General." The deputy general responded loudly.

I hope everything goes well tonight, Hagrid sighed quietly and thought.

…

After Little John lifted the curtain and walked into the general's tent, he smiled and saluted Hu Lie who was sitting behind the high desk: "Dear General Hu Lie, I'm here to report my arrival. The 19,000 soldiers and horses I brought have already set up camp. In addition, General John asked me to convey his greetings to you."

"We are all family, why be so polite." Hu Lie laughed. He was the main general who would face Oddo this time. He was the cousin of General John, but he was twenty years younger than General John and was in his prime.

"General John said that soldiers who fight in the front have the right to be honored and respected." Little John said with a smile, and then greeted several deputy generals around him, and then sat down at the position pointed by Hu Lie.

"Little John, you're here just in time. Listen carefully." Hu Lie smiled and pointed to the sheepskin map stretched on the wooden frame. "Let's continue with what we just said. According to the urgent report from the scouts, the enemy's left and right wings have begun to retreat. There is a high possibility that they will retreat tonight. My analysis is that if they retreat, there are only two directions. One is to Samedaya, because we can be sure that they came from there. Since they can come here, it means that they have opened up a passage. Second, they may not go to Samedaya, but pass through the area of ​​​​Hulet City and enter Tuban to join forces with the Assyrian army there. In order to annihilate more enemies, we now have to accurately judge where they will..."

The enemy is going to retreat? Little John was delighted, and then he was relieved. He had sent more troops, and Hurlit had also sent out troops. The Assyrian army was now attacked from both sides and might be pincered to death at any time. It was natural for them to choose to retreat.

You really know how to pick the time. If it were one day later, you would all die here. Little John thought to himself...
