Chapter 70 Confrontation

"About two miles to the north of Niuxi Village, there is a forest, and the thieves entered that forest." The investigating soldier continued to introduce.

"How big is the forest? How far is it from us?" Ouyang Yuanfeng asked.

"Return to the school captain, that forest is a lonely forest, about [-] acres in length and width, about ten miles away from here."

Ouyang Yuanfeng continued to ask the scouting soldiers: "Is there any dangerous place there?"

In fact, the scouting soldiers did not dare to fly too low after one of their companions was shot down. They just watched from a distance in the air, and could only see clearly that the 'Wolf Thieves' had entered a forest. The situation, because he didn't dare to get too close, and the trees in the forest were too luxuriant, and the most important thing was that his cultivation base was not high, so that he couldn't have extraordinary eyesight to see the movements of the thieves under the shade. movement.

So the scout could only simply return: "There are no high mountains there."

Ouyang Yuanfeng turned his head to Zi Shang and said, "President Zi, it's not a dangerous place, but they hid in the forest, so it's really troublesome."

Zi Shang thought for a while and asked: "Captain Ouyang, do you think those thieves already know that we are chasing them?"

Because of the death of his brother Ouyang Yuanming, Ouyang Yuanfeng was already very afraid of the 'Canglang Thief'. Hearing Zishang's mention at this time, he certainly felt that it was very possible.

Ouyang Yuanfeng thought for a while and said: "President Zi said that, I also think it is very likely that the thieves already knew that we were behind them, so they hid in the forest. The forest is not conducive to the surprise attack of our war horses, and for us It is very advantageous for them to use the wolf as a mount!"

Zi Shang smiled faintly, with a strong confidence in his smile, and he said in a steady tone: "It's a pity! They didn't know that the beast hunters from our Yutian Guild Hall were also here to encircle and suppress. It is our battlefield!"

Ouyang Yuanfeng felt that what Zi Shang said was reasonable, so he felt much more relaxed. He slightly relaxed his tense muscles and said, "How does President Zi think he should encircle and suppress those thieves?"

"Don't worry, let's get a good night's sleep first, and let the brother on the 'Cangyun Eagle' take a good look at it first. At dawn tomorrow, 150 of us from Yutian will go into the forest first and beat them one by one. If you are caught off guard, Captain Ouyang, you will take your troops outside and wait for the opportunity."

After hearing Zishang's opinion, Ouyang Yuanfeng immediately felt that this was an excellent suggestion, and there was one excellent point in this excellent suggestion, that is, he didn't need to lead the charge by Ouyang Yuanfeng, but just let him Leading people around to wait for the opportunity, and the so-called waiting for the opportunity, to put it bluntly, is to let his men and horses outside to clean up the fish that slipped through the net. Ouyang Yuanfeng is of course happy to spread such a beautiful thing.

Ouyang Yuanfeng's joy does not mean that he does not have the blood of a soldier at all, but that he is more greedy for life. Greedy for life does not mean that he is afraid of death, but that he cannot die, because his elder brother Ouyang Yuanming is dead, and his father There are only two sons. If he dies, then the line of his father may be broken.

Ouyang Yuanfeng came here this time not because of Ouyang Yuanming's death, but because Ouyang Yuanming did not keep the Ouyang family's ancestral hall even after his death. The dead naturally cannot face the wrath of Ouyang's clan relatives, but the living Of course, he had to face the huge pressure, so Ouyang Yuanfeng came, the purpose of coming was very simple, so that he could go back alive.

Zi Shang's suggestion is undoubtedly a strong guarantee for returning alive, so Ouyang Yuanfeng said with a smile all over his face: "Guild Zi is really far-sighted and resourceful, just saying it casually is such a good suggestion! Yuan Feng I am so impressed!"

Zishang seemed very uncomfortable with Ouyang Yuanfeng's sudden enthusiasm and closeness. He was covered in goosebumps, trying to make his voice calm and said: "Since Captain Ouyang agreed, then let's implement it according to this. Set up camp now and consider Since our men and horses will be in charge of the main attack tomorrow, then your ministry will be responsible for tonight's security."

"Of course, President Zi, of course you all need to recharge your batteries! Just leave it to me to be vigilant at night!"

Zi Shang looked at the smile on Ouyang Yuanfeng's face, not because he didn't like it, but because Ouyang Yuanfeng made people laugh at such a ridiculous thing as being greedy for life and fearing death, and he didn't know how to restrain himself, so he said in a cold tone: " Now that the captain agrees, let's set up our own camps."

Camping refers to the things of setting up a tent and eating and sleeping. Many people can do these two things. Although the effect of doing it will vary from person to person, it is not too difficult after all, but it is difficult to set up a tent. Naturally, it was nothing to the beast hunters in the Yutian Guild Hall, but to the soldiers under Ouyang Yuanfeng, it seemed a bit reluctant.

After a while, the tents on Yutian's side sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, while on Ouyang Yuanfeng's side, it took a long time for those tents to sway in the wind.

After the camp was set up, the men and horses of the two departments each ate the dry food they brought. The people on Zishang's side mostly brought dried barbecued meat, while the soldiers on Ouyang Yuanfeng's side brought sesame seed cakes made of wheat flour. The dry food can be regarded as a combination of meat and vegetables, but the contrast is stronger, and the strong contrast makes some people feel unhappy.

While Zishang was eating the meat, he was thinking about the biscuits in the hands of the soldiers and the problems behind the biscuits. At this time, Chen Xiaofan who was beside him had passed the physical examination and called him in a low voice: "My lord father-in-law."

"What happened to Xiaofan?"

"Father-in-law, I always feel that something is inappropriate, and I always have a bad feeling in my heart."

Zi Shang held the meat with one hand, patted Chen Xiaofan's back with one free hand, and said in a comforting tone: "Xiaofan, it is inevitable that you will be a little nervous when you come out for the first time, but you have to get used to this feeling. No, how can I arrange for you to go to the Northern Territory Army with confidence?"

Chen Xiaofan explained: "Father-in-law, I'm not nervous, I just always feel that this matter is a bit strange, but I haven't figured it out yet, I think it's better to be careful."

"Right now we are only facing thieves. If even the thieves cannot be defeated, then when you face those powerful orcs in the future, then you will have no chance to resist at all!? Xiaofan, don't think too much, eat Rest quickly after you are done, and you will be able to achieve something tomorrow if you have enough energy."

Chen Xiaofan thought maybe he was really worrying too much, so he smiled at Zishang and said, "Father-in-law, Xiaofan understands!"

After a while, the setting sun had all gone and everyone had finished their dinner. According to the agreement, the beast hunters got into their tents to rest, while the soldiers were divided into groups according to Ouyang Yuanfeng's request. The three groups took turns guarding the camp, and what did Ouyang Yuanfeng have to dare?

Ouyang Yuanfeng himself got into the crumbling but not collapsed tent very naturally, ready to sleep.
