Global time travel

Chapter 187 Riverside Fortress
A moment later, two more foreign awakened were brought over, and a French-speaking soldier was also found.

"Ask him if he has ever encountered a werewolf since he traveled here?" Duan Qi first asked the French camp leader.

After the two chatted for a while, the soldier replied to Duan Qi: "Battle Commander, he said that he has never seen a werewolf, but before us, there was a very powerful human army that came here and forcibly captured more than 50 awakened people." , because he swore to die, not only was he not taken away, he was also elected as the new leader because of a blessing in disguise."

A very powerful human army?Duan Qinong frowned slightly, pondered for a while and said, "When exactly did it happen?"

The soldier asked and said: "About a month ago, he said that it was because the most elite awakened people were taken away, and nearly half of their food and firewood were taken away, that they would be reduced to what they are now. If it wasn't for us, It is estimated that all their ordinary people will have a hard time surviving this winter.

Duan Qi thought for a while and said: "Ask him clearly, how many people are in the human army that came, what is the equipment, and who is the main force?"

After another round of communication, the soldier said: "The battalion commander, he said that there are about 300 people. The weapons and armor are all made of metal. Most of them are white people. The military discipline is fairly strict. The leader is a German. He has been very strict. Hate the Germans, so I wouldn't die to join that army."

"Why do they forcefully recruit awakened people? Is it to fight against half-werewolves?"

"It should be that he heard a French compatriot say that there were six to seven thousand people gathered in those camps, and the number of troops was two to three thousand. As for other situations, he didn't know much about it."

"So many?" Duan Qi was slightly shocked. The last intelligence survey showed that the camp with the largest population in the Taining Plain should be around [-] to [-] people, and the number of soldiers capable of fighting would not exceed [-]. Some were beyond expectations. There were not only human camps with two or three thousand troops, but also an unprecedentedly powerful half-wolf tribe.

This is naturally not good news for the expeditionary force. The reason why they were able to fight against the half-wolves with the Seven Heroes Alliance last time was mainly because the Seven Heroes were all Chinese forces and there was no barrier between them. There is a lot of prejudice.

Based on Duan Qi's understanding of Liu Zhi, he must first solve the foreign aggression, and then find a way to quell the internal strife among human beings. Now, no one can guarantee whether foreigners will stab him in the back!

Thinking of this, Duan Qi ordered to the left and right: "Send the order, the [-]nd, [-]rd and [-]th companies will be divided into squads and disperse to the northwest, due north, and northeast of the camp to be alert to the incoming semi-werewolves, and let the cavalry team expand the scope of exploration. Before the sun goes down, I want to see the distribution map of the power distribution of the half werewolf tribe within a radius of [-] kilometers."

His big white and black bird is not a monster bird. Under such low temperature conditions, it cannot fly long distances at all, and its flying height is also limited. If it encounters a sharpshooter, it will be shot down easily. Therefore, as soon as the expeditionary force enters In the Taining Plain, he never released the big bird again, and intelligence detection relied entirely on the cavalry squad.

"Battalion Commander, isn't it too big for a radius of [-] kilometers? We only have a total of [-] cavalry!" A personal guard reminded.

"The current situation is a bit serious. We must grasp the information and take the initiative as soon as possible. Do as I say, let them pay attention to safety, and don't fight the enemy unless it is absolutely necessary, especially the half-wolf." Duan Qi solemnly instructed.

"Yes."

After the soldier left, Duan Qi turned to another soldier: "When will the leader arrive?"

"It is estimated that it will be at least noon. With so many ordinary people, the marching speed will definitely be greatly affected. It is not bad to have half of us."

"Send a few people back and report the specific situation to the leader."

"Yes."

…………

Over the past three days, the expeditionary force has discovered a total of 22 human camps. Most of the camps are not in bad condition. With the survival booklet, it should not be a big problem to survive the winter. However, there are also three camps that are the same as the one below. It was the critical moment of life and death, and the expeditionary army had no time to help them rebuild the camp that had been devastated by the wind and snow. They could only take everyone on the road, otherwise many ordinary people would freeze to death in this cold winter.

Liu Zhi's plan is to take one step at a time. If he encounters a well-developed and well-managed human camp, he can keep some of them depending on their material reserves. He has already taught these people the method of transforming spirits. Awakening can be completed in eight days.

However, along the way, there were not many camps with surplus food. Ordinary people came and went, came and went, and kept at around seven or eight hundred, and the marching speed was slowed down by nearly half.

After receiving Duan Qi's report, Liu Zhi left the Second Dragon Battalion and hurried up with the soldiers of the Yanlong Battalion. When it was close to noon, he saw Duan Qi who had been waiting for a long time at the gate of the camp.

Duan Qi reported in detail the news he received later. Liu Zhi couldn't help frowning after hearing it. The situation was worse than he had imagined at the beginning. During the investigation, the cavalry team found a tribe of half werewolves with 2000 people Surrounded by four other half werewolf tribes, they looked like military strongholds. There was no development of production, and there were no old, weak, women and children. They were all composed of young and strong fighters. Most likely, they were supported by other half werewolf tribes. The total strength of the five tribes is at least more than [-].

The human camp on the opposite side built a small fortress covering an area of ​​hundreds of acres close to the Kuangyu River. The three walls were all made of sand, seven or eight meters high.

Liu Zhi suspected that this fortress was temporarily built. The last time the intelligence team entered the Taining Plain, they had been traveling along the river. This fortress was so conspicuous that it should not have gone unnoticed.

In fact, such a small fortress is not difficult to build at all, especially in the current low temperature weather, as long as there are enough awakened people, it can be completed in at most two or three days, because the riverside of the plain is full of sand, and the sand poured into it Water, when water freezes, it will become as hard as iron and stone. The temperature at night will reach minus [-] to [-] degrees, and the speed of solidification of the city wall will be very fast. It is not difficult to pile up two or three kilometers overnight.

The specific situation in the fortress has not been investigated yet, only that there are soldiers guarding three sides, and they are still building high walls.

Liu Zhi sent a team proficient in multiple foreign languages ​​to negotiate, hoping to contact the leader of the fortress to discuss the possibility of military cooperation.

However, that night, the cavalry responsible for the response reported that after the five members of the negotiation team entered the fortress, they did not come out for a long time, and they were probably detained by the other party.

Liu Zhi quite agrees with this guess. Although the negotiation team did not bring weapons such as six-party guns and six-party crossbows, the protective gear and six-party daggers they are wearing are considered very sophisticated equipment. If they encounter a strong leader Or, after finding out the details of the expeditionary army, they will probably capture them directly and use torture to interrogate the secrets of the Yanhuang tribe. After all, this fortress near the river looks quite strong, and they have enough troops to guard it. They are not necessarily afraid, let alone only a thousand expeditionary forces.

In the morning of the next day, when there was still no return of the negotiation team, Liu Zhi finally decided not to wait any longer, and led the Yanlong Camp and the Third Dragon Barracks to the gates of the fortress.
