Chapter 434 Cat and Mouse Game
Chapter 434 Cat and Mouse Game
Jiang Lili poked her head out from under the heavy protection of five Xin family soldiers: "Panda's subordinate, Rat, has already gone to investigate. Once they find their traces, Rat will lead the way for Xin Che, and Xin Che will lead the troops to stop them."
Wen Qiao felt refreshed when she saw that Jiang Lili didn't have her cheap brother-in-law by her side. She joked, "No wonder I didn't see your bodyguard sticking to you today."
Jiang Lili hugged her backpack tightly and blushed slightly: "Don't tease me, I can protect myself! I won't hold the team back!"
Wen Qiao shrugged: "It's okay, it's the same as long as I'm here."
"set off!"
On the way, Wen Qiao observed today's weather conditions. It was cloudy, humid, the soil was damp, and the road was a bit slippery.
Looking through a telescope at this time, one can vaguely see the edge of the eastern rainforest. Observing from a distance, the rainforest is completely silent, without even a trace of flying birds.
She discussed with Jiang Lili Shengzhixing: "Why don't we act after dark? We have animals to lead the way at night, and we also have infrared equipment, so surprise attacks are very advantageous."
Sheng Zhixing agreed deeply after hearing this: "I think this proposal is feasible!"
Jiang Lili of course absolutely agreed with the commander's order: "I will sort out the infrared equipment and distribute it to the team leaders of each team."
In this raid, the eldest prince brought one hundred Xin family soldiers and two thousand foreign soldiers. The two thousand soldiers were divided into one hundred groups, each led by a Xin family soldier.
These Xin family soldiers are brothers who have been through thick and thin with Xin Che, and after Xin Che was exiled, they still followed Xin Che wholeheartedly. They can be completely trusted, so Jiang Lili and others have been training them to use modern equipment for combat.
Panda took into account Sheng Zhixing's physical condition: [Old Sheng and I will set up a temporary camp on the edge of the rainforest, responsible for organizing the intelligence reported by our animal friends and dispatching the animal army under our command.]
[Once you are sure you can capture the eldest prince, we will send Lao Sheng over to teach this rebellious son a lesson! ]
"Okay, then let's wait until dark and have the animal sentinels observe the situation over there with the Crown Prince."
Wen Qiao felt very at ease when he saw his classmates had a clear division of labor and a full sense of accomplishment. This kind of team atmosphere makes people feel strong.
Jiang Lili and others had the same feeling. It was great to be able to fight side by side with partners they had known for many years.
An hour later, everyone arrived at the edge of the rainforest, found a secret location, and began to build a temporary camp.
The animals around Panda whose hometown is in the eastern rainforest are now dredging the fish to return to the sea. Their figures disappear into the rainforest one after another, and they go to contact their relatives and friends.
*
In the eastern rain forest.
The rainforest, which was originally sparsely populated, was now filled with people hiding everywhere. Within a day, the eldest prince's subordinates had set up various traps in the rainforest. If anyone broke in, they would die if they were not careful!
In front of the bonfire, the subordinates of the eldest prince Sheng Wei handed over five skewers of roasted grasshoppers: "Eldest prince, have something to eat."
Sheng Wei glanced at the fried grasshoppers, a look of deep disgust on his face.
The guards around the eldest prince stared at the five skewers of roasted locusts and swallowed their saliva quietly.
They had been in the rainforest for a whole day, their supplies had been used up, and everyone was starving.
At first, some people were able to hunt rabbits, pheasants and other prey, and one game was enough for two people to share.
But there were as many as 4,000 people hiding in the rainforest, including 700 to 800 wounded. Everyone was exhausted after the battle of Anemone City. If every two people shared a pheasant, 2,000 pheasants would be needed, which was almost like a swarm of locusts.
At the end of the day, all the animals in the rainforest seemed to have disappeared, as if they were intentionally avoiding them, and no one knew where they had hidden.
The eldest prince's people could only pick some wild fruits and fry some insects to fill their stomachs. Except for the eldest prince, no one else was full.
"Guji~"
When Sheng Wei was hesitating about exploding the insects, his stomach growled loudly. The lieutenants pretended not to hear it and looked up at the sky or the ground.
He couldn't help but snatch the five strings of fried insects and asked while eating, "Why is there no news about the five thousand people who were sent out to retake the camp?"
The deputy general quickly comforted him, "Maybe they are on their way to deliver supplies to us."
"Don't worry, eldest prince. Five thousand men are fighting against the thousand men under the Third Prince who are not even up to the task. How can they lose?"
Sheng Wei nodded, "Come to think of it. If I can't even win, I might as well not live anymore."
He changed his mind and asked, "What about the other 5,000 people who came to support us?"
The deputy general took out a small note from a carrier pigeon from his sleeve and said, "I came here for this matter. A quarter of an hour ago, we received a message from a carrier pigeon saying that they are only thirty miles away from the eastern rainforest. If we hold on for a while, they will be here with supplies!"
The soldiers around were cheered up when they heard the news.
Sheng Wei's expression finally looked better: "Okay, spread the news quickly to boost morale!"
*
As time passed, the sun in the sky gradually set in the west, the sky darkened, and dusk enveloped the entire rainforest.
In Jiang Lili and Wenqiao's temporary camp, various animals came out of the rainforest one after another and came to Panda to "report the situation". Some animals even stayed in their camp after reporting the situation and chatted with other animals in the camp.
The makeshift camp suddenly became as lively as a zoo.
Jiang Lili looked at the little animals that were rushing to report the news: "These animals are so cooperative? It seems that almost all of them are out, right?"
Panda shook his head in a humane way: [They said that the 4,000 people hiding in the rainforest had no food, so they used local materials and almost plundered the rainforest. They ate any non-toxic animals and insects. Everyone avoided them and didn't dare to show up.]
[When they heard that we were going to catch these people, everyone was very enthusiastic and asked us to quickly drive away these bad guys who destroyed their homes. ]
“It turned out to have caused public outrage.”
Jiang Lili touched a little squirrel that jumped onto her shoulder and said, "The eldest prince is really a man who will eventually perish if he does too much evil."
With the information actively provided by the animal sentinels, Jiang Lili and his team have learned the specific location of the eldest prince and the distribution of ambushes in the rainforest.
Wait until it's completely dark.
Wen Qiao led his men into action, and under the guidance of the animals, they went into the rainforest separately.
A silent slaughter game is being played.
