A puff of blue-white smoke rushed straight into the sky in front of this ancient watchtower that had been forgotten by the Yunqin military.
Lin Xi frowned slightly and looked at the corpse of a cave barbarian in front of him.
When those cave barbarians retreated, they took away all the bodies of the rest of their partners, only this cave man's body was pressed under the stone bar he threw out, and it was too close to the watchtower, so it stayed.
It was also the first time he had seen so closely what the previously rumored cave barbarians were like.
Compared with the body of this cave man, the two hundred and dozens of catties of stone bars seem to be a little too narrow, so that this stone bar seems to be embedded in the hollow chest of this cave man.
The broad forehead and broad lips, the high bulging muscles on his body and the posture of these cave barbarians when they ran before made Lin Xi naturally think of those 100-meter race champions who were known as flying men, but this cave man was not black, the skin on his body was the color of bronze, and his height was at least about one meter nine.
Looking at this burly body with only a dozen pieces of steel and leather armor hanging from his body, dead but still giving people a strong sense of oppression, Lin Xi understood even more why the Yunqin Empire had blocked these caves behind the Dragon Snake Mountain Range at any cost for decades.
The Great Wilderness Mid-Autumn and Winter Seasons Food is short for the cave barbarians, and there should not be many iron and steel minerals in the Great Wilderness, so although these cave barbarians can smelt flying spears for throwing, there are not many of them, and only some particularly strong warriors are qualified to wear some draped armor that is extremely simple in the eyes of the Yun Qin sergeant.
Due to the limitation of their stature, even if they get armor from the Yun Qin soldiers who died in battle, these cave barbarians can only find a way to crack them, make them into pieces like this, and wear them and hang them on their bodies.
However, even if there was a shortage of food and weapons, and almost only relying on physical instinct to fight, Yun Qin's most elite army still had to maintain a four-to-one ratio in numbers in order to ensure victory.
Even so, compared with decades ago, the Yun Qin Empire does not have an advantage over the cave man, and the watchtower behind him is proof of this.
At that time, the watchtower of the Yunqin military was able to stand here, standing on a hill in the "sheep's horns" that stretched into the great wilderness, which shows that the Yunqin military still had great control over this area close to the great wilderness, but today, in order to avoid great casualties, the garrison of the Yunqin military has had to retreat greatly.
Under the current circumstances, if the cave man was allowed to cross the Dragon Snake Mountain Range and have more food and steel ore than before, it would be difficult to estimate how big and far-reaching the impact it would have on the Yunqin Empire.
Lin Xi looked at this extremely oppressive corpse, due to the heavy sweating, his body temperature began to drop, and he suddenly felt that the cold and mental exhaustion began to erode his body.
From this day to now, he has secretly followed the patrol army in the mountains and forests, and he has not had much time to rest, and the wild running and shooting, especially the three big stones, made him consume a lot of physical strength and soul power in an instant, and at this moment he can feel that the soul power in his body is only about half left.
"This is bitter ginger juice, which can avoid getting cold and make the body feel better."
At this moment, Xin Weijiao and Kang Qianjue walked to his side, and after handing him a water bladder, Xin Weijiao said in a deep voice: "I lost three brothers. ” Although Lin Xi still has to learn how to really control the army, and still puts the command of the patrol army in the hands of Xin Weijiao, but for Xin Weijie and all the sergeants of the patrol army, Lin Xi is already the highest commander they accept, so everything and decisions must be known to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi didn't make a sound, just pulled out the plug of the water bladder and drank a big sip of the bitter ginger juice that Xin Weijiao said.
An extremely jerky, spicy bitter taste spread through his body.
"What kind of mission is the patrol army carrying out so far" Lin Xi took a deep breath, slowly spit it out, looked at Xin Weijiao and Kang Qianjue and asked.
Xin Weijiao's throat was already a little hoarse, he swallowed his saliva hard, looked at the dense forest in the distance, and said: "The order above says that there is a three-person exploration team of the forward battalion that has not been able to go back to restore our lives, let us pass through both sides of the Black Land Canyon before noon tomorrow and search to."
Five miles in the Great Wilderness. ” Lin Xi asked: "The previous military intelligence report, is there any sign of large-scale cave brutality activity in this vicinity, or has there been any major fighting?"
Xin Weijiao shook his head: "I didn't mention it." ” Lin Xi also shook his head and said softly: "So we still don't know anything about the origin and whereabouts of this cave man. ” "I don't know exactly what's going on, but they're completely different from last autumn and winter."
Xin Weijiao was silent for a moment, and then said with some incomprehensible meaning, "Lord Lin, maybe you don't know that before last autumn and winter, in the past few decades, although each of these adult cave barbarians had amazing combat power, their heads were extremely stupid. ” "How stupid they were before, just use this watchtower as an example, and you can easily understand it."
Xin Weijiao took a deep breath, trying his best to calm down his emotions, he turned his body sideways, stretched out his hand and clicked on the watchtower behind him, and then explained to Lin Xi: "If this watchtower is not this kind of fully enclosed watchtower, the top is empty, as long as our people don't lead them from above, they will never think of climbing to the top, jumping down from above to attack us, or will they only blindly rush from the front." ” "Even if the climb is easy for their abilities, they just don't think about it.
This kind of joint force by cutting down a big tree has never been seen in previous battles.
Not to mention sending a squad to touch the rear and cut off our retreat. ” Lin Xi was stunned.
He is not a high-level figure in the Yun Qin military, let alone Emperor Yun Qin, he doesn't know many deeper things, he just heard that the cave barbarians are very barbaric and stupid before, in his opinion, these cave barbarians encountered tonight are already extremely stupid, but he didn't expect that the cave barbarians were even more stupid than this, so stupid that they didn't know any maneuver at all.
After the initial stunned, his brows furrowed deeply, and he was a little shocked in his heart, and began to understand the meaning of Xin Weijiao's words.
He looked at Xin Weijiao and said, "What do you mean is that according to the original style of these cave barbarians, either they don't break and flee, and after they flee, it will be impossible to chase after them."
But we don't know what they're going to do next."
"They never had that before."
Xin Weijiao glanced at Lin Xi, and his face became more and more difficult to look at: "Unless they find that there are only a few of their people left, they will escape more than four or five to one, and they will win, which is also the most direct impression of their blood marrow in the past few decades of fighting with the border army." ” "In this situation where they still have an absolute advantage in numbers, even if there are one or two more cultivators on our side, they will never be able to retreat before."
Xin Weijiao's breathing paused slightly, and he swallowed hard before he could continue to speak, and said hoarsely and heavily: "So it gives me the feeling that they just retreated on their own to avoid too many casualties." ” "That's why you want to completely block this watchtower and stay here for help."
Seeing that the sergeant of the patrol army in the rear, who had consumed a lot of physical strength, moved out all the stones and other things in the watchtower, and began to completely block the appearance of the watchtower, Lin Xi thought about it, looked at Xin Weijiao seriously, and said: "You can't be sure now that they are lurking in this mountain forest, waiting for us to go out, or waiting for a more powerful cave barbarian brigade to come, if it is the former, our response is the most correct."
But if it's the latter, if a stronger force of cave barbarians arrives before our reinforcements arrive, then it will be almost impossible for us to resist. ” "No, you don't know much about the war between the armies here."
Xin Weijiao shook his head, looked at Lin Xi bluntly, and said, "It should be safe for us to stay here."
Because this is the cave barbarian brigade, that is, the army of the cave barbarians, not the unorganized scattered cave barbarians.
There are more than 100 people, which is already a large number for the cave man. ” "Any movement of the army has its strategic significance, and although the cave barbarians are stupid, they are the same, and they must have a strategic purpose."
Hearing these words, Lin Xi knew that he still had some things wrong and unexpected, so he continued to be taught and listened carefully.
"What is the strategic purpose of this army?"
Xin Weijiao himself was thinking hard, and while thinking, he said in a deep voice: "If it's just this team, there is no greater strategic purpose, it is impossible to eat us now, if there are other departments, they must have a more important strategic purpose, we are too small for them here, we only have so many people, it is impossible to intercept their actions, and it is impossible for them to consume precious time to gnaw off our very small bone." ” "In the past, the style of the cave barbarians was like this, like a hammer, knocking here, knocking there, and they would not be entangled if they couldn't move, because although they were stupid, they also knew that the border army's ability to mobilize troops was not comparable to theirs for decades, and they would unknowingly fall into the encirclement of the border army, because the overall view of some of our border army generals was not comparable to theirs.
Now these cave barbarians have such a major change, if it is because of the groundbreaking leader for them, then since this leader is so smart, he will naturally understand more that the most important thing for the army is not to destroy a few more enemies and fewer enemies, but to complete the real purpose of their dispatch.
The purpose of this leader will certainly be clearer. ” Lin Xi's brows relaxed, he already completely understood that what Xin Weiyao was worried about now was not their life and death, but what was the real purpose of this cave barbarian army, because I was afraid that it would cause more sacrifices of Yun Qin's soldiers.
"I'm going to investigate."

After giving Xin Weijiao and Kang Qianjue a reassuring look, he didn't stop and began to sweep towards the direction where the cave man had retreated before
