Chapter 170 Tracking and Locking
Thunderstorms came and went quickly. It wasn't long before the entire rainfall had begun to decrease significantly. This was undoubtedly a good thing for Luo Ji and others, and for them whose living areas were mainly concentrated in the plains In other words, the difficult terrain of mountains and forests also had a big impact on them. If the rain could stop, it would be a big help.
Looking at the map, after walking for a while, Luo Ji quickly discovered a large number of footprints left by the other party. After walking for a while, the footprints began to spread out obviously, or they were deliberately trampled. Going in different directions at the same time.
"So the formation of suspicion?" Luo Ji rubbed his chin, and a thought flashed in his eyes. It was completely conceivable that the intruder probably had a sense of crisis after learning that Ye Qingxuan had brought in reinforcements. It didn't seem that it was stupid and hopeless to have just come to such a hand.
But like this kind of method, even if it is a confusing footprint, it can't be left for too long, but Luo Ji didn't plan to try it one by one, it would be too troublesome, and it would be a waste of time.
"In the mountain and forest areas after such heavy rain, the roads under your feet are muddy, and it is impossible not to leave footprints, and under this premise, the target you want to deal with has drawn reinforcements, in other words, the advantage of your own troops. It may not be guaranteed, facing this situation, what will the intruder do?" Luo Ji began to think seriously, and quickly pulled the fixed map in front of his eyes, "The other party should be a bit of a brain. Although he is irrational, he is not too stupid, and the most important thing is that he is a veteran with relatively rich experience.”
Luo Ji continued to integrate the information in his mind, and the whole idea became clearer and clearer, "Since there is no escape or escape, then you should move to the terrain that is beneficial to you to fight or ambush. Yes, and according to the information provided by Senior Sister, it seems that the other party has brought a lot of archers..."
He dragged the map in front of him unhurriedly. In this mountainous and forested area full of trees, there are very few terrains that can give full play to the advantages of an archer, but it is not all, "I remember the senior said before. However, there is a mountain spring near her camp..."
Thinking of this, Luo Ji decisively sent a message to Ye Qingxuan, intending to confirm the specific situation, "Sister, what is the specific terrain around the mountain spring near your camp? How big is the area?"
"If you ask that, I can't tell right away. However, walking downstream along the mountain spring, a rather large lake is formed, surrounded by a gravel beach."
Seeing this reply, Luo Ji's eyes suddenly flashed a hint of clarity, "Pay attention to the position of the cursor on my map, I'm going to change the route next and go to the lake downstream."
Ye Qingxuan's mind was also spinning quite fast. Through a simple exchange of information, she quickly captured the change in the situation, "That Cao Peng escaped to the lake?"
"Nine times out of ten, if he still has some brains." If the other party is so stupid that he didn't even think about this, he would be really helpless, but it's useless to think about it now, there is no one percent in this world. Hundreds of things, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, even if something unexpected happens, then he can only see tricks and tricks.
After closing the message window, Luo Ji, who had changed his path, started to move a little faster, until he confirmed that he was not far from the lake located downstream, and then everyone slowed down and approached slowly. The footprints discovered along the way undoubtedly allowed Luo Ji to verify his previous guesses.
Using the lush bushes and foliage as a cover to hide their own existence, this was quite handy for Luo Ji and the others, who had a large forest outside the tribe.
The line of sight quickly penetrated through the gap in the bushes, and the footprints were basically broken here, because as Ye Qingxuan said, outside the bushes, there was a large gravel beach, and it had just been washed away by the rain. , With a pair of naked eyes, trying to see something from this is simply a dream, and on this gravel beach, there is no one in the area that he can see!
Luo Ji didn't panic, he saw his hands make gestures. This time, the fifteen shield and axemen and five archers he brought over were all veterans. I easily understood what Luo Ji meant, and saw that ten of the shield and axe soldiers quietly left the team, and after retreating about twenty meters, they walked in the other direction, and the person in charge of leading the team was Zhou. Yue.
After they were far enough away from Luo Ji's team, Zhou Yue made a move, and the group of ten people maintained their shield posture and walked directly through the bushes towards the gravel beach outside.
That style, although not grand, still made Cao Peng, who was lying in ambush somewhere in the river, shrink his pupils, and his eyes swept to the weapon in the opponent's hand for the first time, even in the cloudy sky. Underneath, he looked at the brass battle axe that was still glowing with metallic luster.
Involuntarily, a sense of retreat rose in his heart. The reason why he dared not to leave before was because he knew that the opposite was a rookie. Once he was caught, he could only let him slaughter. The type he can bully, compared to him who is still using stone weapons, the big guy outside is decisively ahead of him by an era!
You don't have to fight at all, it's best to walk! As a result, this action was only halfway through, and he realized that something was wrong. There were so many branches and trees around, and there were so many of them. This action would definitely make a noise. When the other party came after him, wouldn't he be dead?
But if he continued to ambush here, it would only be a matter of time before he was found by the other side. This dilemma made Cao Peng feel irritable.
In this situation, he didn't know if he was in a hurry. Looking at the ten shield and axemen led by Zhou Yue outside, he suddenly had a bold idea.
The opposite side obviously knows that this is a mountain forest area, so there is no archer troop that is restricted by the terrain at all. This can be said to be a wise choice, but in some special environments, there is no long-range troop, but it becomes the opponent. The biggest drawback and weakness! For example, this gravel beach has a wide field of vision and few obstacles...
"First use a few rounds of salvos to kill four to five people on the opposite side, and the remaining few, according to my numerical advantage, the odds of winning should be very good, and in this way, I will definitely be able to beat the strong enemy who surpasses the rank. With a large amount of points, in the final system evaluation, not only can we seize a batch of weapons and equipment, but also a golden treasure chest properly?!" Thinking of this, Cao Peng couldn't help but his heart accelerated, even with the expression of the whole person. All became excited.
