Chapter 660 Find a Solution (Part 2)
[Wow, so smooth? ]
Xie Liancheng was a little surprised. Considering some unexpected situations, he had thought of some coping methods, but now they were of no use.
Regardless, it's always a good thing.
Thinking of this, Xie Liancheng spoke again...
"Do you want to be in charge of the day or the night?"
Xie Liancheng directly gave the choice to the deputy general. After all, he was well aware of his situation and did so to avoid being suspected.
At the same time, he was sure that the other party would give the answer he wanted.
As expected, the deputy general hesitated for a moment before speaking cautiously...
"Then I will be in charge during the day?"
This answer can be said to be within Xie Liancheng's expectations.
When he was speaking before, he specifically mentioned several times that there were Centaur mercenaries on the opposite side who were good at operating at night.
As long as the deputy general is not stupid, he should be able to think that if he chooses to go at night, there is a chance that he will encounter the Centaur mercenaries on the opposite side, which is much more dangerous than encountering ordinary human troops.
Even to avoid this risk, he would choose the relatively safer daytime.
In this case, facing this answer, Xie Liancheng naturally would not refuse and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll be in charge of the night, and you can go lead the team to investigate now. I'll get some sleep first."
Since Xie Liancheng said he wanted to take a nap, the deputy general naturally didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly took his leave.
As he walked outside, the deputy general secretly groaned in his heart.
We have just arrived on this journey and haven’t had time to rest for a while before we have to go on patrol duty.
However, compared with the risks of night patrols, he would rather get tired now.
During this period, Huangsha City undoubtedly also sent out patrol teams to carry out daily patrol tasks outside the city.
The reconnaissance team led by the deputy general had just arrived when their whereabouts were exposed.
Fortunately, the distance was still far at that time. In addition, after being exposed, the deputy general was terrified and did not dare to fight with them. He immediately led his team to retreat. He did not fight with the patrol team of Huangsha City. It was a close call.
On this side, the news that the enemy reconnaissance team had been discovered soon reached Zhou Xu's ears.
Although Zhou Xu would not directly ignore the appearance of this reconnaissance team, he would not care too much about it either.
Under the premise that they occupied Huangsha City and repelled the opponent's siege troops many times, no matter what the opponent did next, sending out a reconnaissance team to keep an eye on their movements was inevitable and there was nothing surprising about it.
Of course, Zhou Xu didn't just do nothing.
"Let Drogo and his men form a reconnaissance team. After nightfall, they will find out the location of the enemy's reconnaissance camp and destroy it if they have a chance."
Since they were just sitting around anyway, the Centaur soldiers with night vision had obvious advantages over human troops after nightfall. Zhou Xu didn't mind causing more trouble for the enemy.
During this period, before it got completely dark, the deputy general successfully returned to their garrison camp on the front line and reported to Xie Liancheng, who had just woken up and was having dinner, that the other side had discovered their presence.
The deputy general who said this had obvious uneasiness on his face.
However, Xie Liancheng just said "Oh" calmly without any reaction. After a simple dinner, he led the team out of the camp. In fact, he was very happy in his heart.
From the very beginning, he went there with the intention of exposing his deputy general.
After the deputy general was exposed, Zhou Xu would most likely send out a reconnaissance force from Huangsha City to investigate the situation, so that he would have a chance to make contact with the other side.
Sure enough, as the sky darkened, traces of Centaur soldiers appeared on the outskirts of Huangsha City.
When the two sides met for the first time, Xie Liancheng bent his bow and shot an arrow at the opposite side without saying a word, then pulled the reins.
"The Centaur mercenaries have too much of an advantage this night, let's retreat!"
The soldiers under his command were already afraid of the existence of the Centaur mercenaries. Now, after hearing Jie Liancheng's order, they all did not doubt it and hurriedly followed him to retreat.
As for the arrow that Jie Liancheng shot just now, they just thought that the other party was shooting an arrow to restrain the other party and didn't think much about it.
Meanwhile, on Drogo's side...
Looking at the arrow that fell from the sky and landed diagonally opposite him, Drogo felt a strange feeling in his heart.
Normally speaking, there are roughly two methods of archery in their army, one is flat shooting, and the other is overhead shooting.
To put it simply, flat shooting means aiming directly at the target and shooting arrows in a straight line. Within the range, flat shooting is the fastest, but it is relatively rarely used during large-scale battles.
The lob shot is to shoot the arrow upward and forward. The arrow will draw a long parabola in the air and then fall from the sky.
Compared with flat shooting, lob shooting is not as fast, but it has a longer attack range and is more applicable.
For example, in the previous city defense battles, the archers on the defenders used overhead shooting, which allowed the arrows to fly over the wall in a long parabola and attack the enemy troops outside the city. This was very common in large-scale battles.
However, in this kind of mutual testing between small-scale teams, using this kind of hanging shooting technique doesn't make much sense, not to mention that there is only one arrow shot.
And this is exactly what Drogo found strange.
"Huh?"
With this doubt in mind, Drogo's eyes fell on the arrow, and then he quickly discovered that the arrow seemed a little different.
After a slight hesitation, he took the initiative to step forward and pick up the arrow stuck in the ground, only to see that there was a small bamboo tube tied to the arrow.
They also had similar things in the Great Zhou. After pulling out the stopper from the bamboo tube and pouring it out, a rolled-up note fell into Drogo's hand.
He unfolded the note and took a look. There were some symbols written on it that looked like words, but unfortunately, he couldn't understand a single word.
Thinking of this, Drogo rolled up the note and stuffed it back into the bamboo tube.
"Joseph, you must quickly deliver this bamboo tube back to the city and give it to the king."
"yes!"
After taking the bamboo tube, Joseph rushed towards Huangsha City at the fastest speed without saying a word.
At this time, Zhou Xu had already fallen asleep, but due to the special circumstances, Silk, who was guarding outside, decided to wake up their king after a little hesitation and presented the bamboo tube to Zhou Xu.
"Joseph, tell me about that time."
As Zhou Xu spoke, he unfolded the note in the bamboo tube.
There was nothing special about the situation at that time. Zhou Xu just wanted to confirm it just in case. In comparison, the note in the bamboo tube was what surprised him.
Of course, Joseph and his companions could not understand the words on it, because what was written on it was the language of their original world.
Moreover, probably to increase confidentiality, the contents of the note were basically written in the dialect and grammar of their hometown.
Just based on this point, Zhou Xu could be sure that the note was definitely sent by Jie Liancheng.
