"They have retreated, should we stop?" The old guy asked Diao Si again after seeing that the imperial troops had lost all their weapons and were about to retreat.
Diao Si was still quite nervous. He focused all his attention on the battlefield and hesitated for a moment before he had time to think about the old guy's words. Those imperial troops were indeed about to flee, and they were no longer a threat at all.
"Okay, let them go." Diao Si said hesitantly. In fact, he was quite conflicted. If he put them back like this, the Imperial Army team over there would definitely know about the situation here, which would become a threat.
Diao Si knew the story of the Hongmen Banquet, but he really couldn't do this to kill these imperial troops who were no longer able to resist. Just when he was caught in a conflict like this, the imperial troops had gradually withdrawn from the trap he had set, so it was better to let them go.
"We won, we could actually defeat them..." The old guy over there was so excited that he almost fell off the tree.
Diao Si glanced at him. This was not worth getting excited about. He had fought many such battles in the game before, and it was a piece of cake for him. The next big problem is that the enemies will come back soon, and they are all hungry.
"Go to the ground and pick up the arrows immediately, and then get out of here!" Diao Si ordered as he climbed down carefully. Now they don't have many arrows on them, and there are still many tough battles waiting for them.
Although the long-eared guys still couldn't understand why Diao Si was so anxious, they all understood Diao Si's temperament and began to respect him. He seemed to really know how to fight.
"By the way, deputy captain, I need a few particularly accurate archers. Pick a few for me right away. I'm going to set up a sniper unit." Diao Si recalled the last time he shot the guy in silver armor. A new idea came to mind when the army was in chaos.
Because judging from their current situation, they are completely incapable of fighting a protracted war. They must win a quick victory, and the best way to win a quick victory is to snipe the opponent's leader.
"Listen, your job is very important. It can also be said to be very simple. The only task is to kill the enemy leader, so before the time comes, everyone must lurk quietly..." Diao Si didn't care about these elites. Whether they understood or not, he taught as he walked.
"By the way, Captain, why are we taking such a troublesome path in such a direction?" The old guy also had a lot of questions, probably because an experienced archer like him had never encountered a strategy like Diao Si's.
"It's very simple. This is a path that the enemy thought we would never take." Diao Si replied. The scouts he arranged in front of him discovered the situation, so everyone immediately squatted down.
It seems that it's the hawk-eyed birdman again, and those imperial troops are really going to come back. Diao Si thought about it and said to the team of elite archers: "You have one more task next. You cannot let the birdmen who are approaching leave. This will be the same in the future. Just treat it as training."
"Let the soldier at the back move to lure it over." After Diao Si gave the order, the archer at the back shook the small tree behind him, and sure enough, an eagle-eyed birdman flew over.
Although the shooting elites of these sniper teams could not meet Diao Si's requirements, their archery skills were still good, and the birdman was shot down quickly.
"It's not dead yet, do you want to execute it?" the archer over there asked Diao Si after catching it.
"Wait..." Diao Si said immediately and walked over. If the birdman was not dead yet, it would be of great use. Diao Si could just use it to understand the situation on the Imperial Army's side.
"There is no way you can leave alive. It's best to let me go quickly..." The birdman was not seriously injured. This may be because it was flying in the air, and the gravity weakened the arrow's attack power.
"I don't want to talk nonsense to you. There are two ways: one is to tell me the situation on that side of the empire, and the other is to be killed by them immediately." Diao Si knew that the imperial army would soon know that they had left, and then they would find this place. , can’t waste time with this bird man.
This move seemed to be effective. The birdman saw the long-eared guys drawing arrows and used it. From its mouth, Diao Si learned that the Imperial Army had sent another squad over. This squad was mainly composed of archers, because they knew about the disastrous defeat last time.
"What are archers afraid of most? Who can answer my question?" Diao Si knew that these long-eared guys, as archers themselves, must know the weaknesses of archers.
"...I'm most afraid that my vision will be affected." It took a long time for the old guy to spit out this answer. This may be their only answer. Diao Si already knows them well. They are relatively stupid.
"Then who can give me a map of this forest?" No one answered this time. Diao Si looked around for a week before focusing on the injured birdman. As a professional scout, perhaps no other species understands the terrain as well as it does.
"If you can give me a satisfactory answer, I will keep you here and guarantee that you will have a good life from now on. Otherwise..." The birdman naturally understood Diao Si's words, and he quickly agreed.
After understanding the terrain there, Diao Si quickly knew the approximate route those archers would take. There were many more enemies than them, and they were all archers of comparable strength. It was no longer easy to win. Diao Si also had to preserve his strength, which required a lot of thinking.
There's not much of an advantage in ambushing them, as they can counterattack from range just as well. The old guy has already said that bows and arrows are most afraid of affecting their sight, so how should they affect their sight? Get a fallen leaf? But if it didn't work, they would suffer heavy casualties.
Diao Si looked at the dense forest and noticed the dazzling sunlight coming through the gaps. There is a way. They still have to hide in the trees to ambush the enemy, but if they hide in a position where the enemy faces the sun, their eyes will be illuminated by the sun, making it difficult to counterattack accurately.
So he started to choose a location there again. While walking, he also came across a dry creek bed with fewer trees. The running water once exposed a lot of round stones here, and they can easily roll down here.
Great, there is no such thing as a perfect road. When Diao Si was about to take action, he noticed the birdman who was guessing. Now he needed to let the Imperial Army know his location, so he asked the long-eared guys to release it and told it to go help see the Imperial Army's situation.
In this way, the birdman ignored his injuries and fled with all his strength, flying and jumping. After it left, Diao Si began to deploy his plan. This plan was actually not complicated, but those guys with long ears wouldn't understand it.
First comes the deployment of stones, then the main attacking archers, and finally the newly selected sniper archers. To ensure nothing goes wrong, Diao Si is constantly considering improvements, leaving those guys with long ears even more confused.
Some time later, while Diao Si and the others were still moving rocks, a report from the sniper team suddenly came, and another birdman was shot down. This time the birdman was unlucky and died.
This was a signal, indicating that the injured birdman had gone back to inform him, and it also meant that the Imperial Army's team was about to find this place. This is their fighting habit, and the Hawkeyes are professional scouts.
Those imperial troops must know that they are here, so the enemy must not know where they are hiding now. The main ones coming this time are archers, and it is much more difficult to defeat them than before.
Just when the long-eared guys who were scouting in front gave a signal that the enemy was approaching, the arrows from the Imperial Army rained down on their previous position. The enemies were very careful this time. They knew there was probably an ambush here, so they fired arrows around without multiple tubes.
Someone in Diao Si's team had already been hit by an arrow. Although they still endured being silent, their fear made them anxious.
Diao Si never gave the order, and the imperial troops finally appeared. Sure enough, they were a large group of archers. They bent over and moved carefully one by one. The number was more than expected.
Diao Si waited in silence, but the imperial troops did not gather together, they were scattered, and not many stood at the target position he designed. If this continues, they will be discovered sooner or later, and they will become passive by then. (To be continued)
