Doomsday Code

Chapter 446 Annihilation

"The previous reconnaissance intelligence was wrong. We don't have enough troops now. We must request support."

The vice-captain next to the captain frowned and spoke.

This is not because he is afraid or cowardly, he is just stating a fact as a military commander.

Although the scenes in vernacular novels where the weak defeats the strong and the few defeat the many seem heroic and exciting, in reality, if the commander takes risks even though he has the opportunity to gather a large force, it does not show that he is brave, but that he is stupid.

War has never been a duel between knights. It has never been about any heroic and passionate head-on combat. If you can fight in a group, then fight in a group. If you can find a better way to kill the enemy, then use whatever method you can.

"Then the movement of these guys means that a large caravan is coming. What should we do with that caravan?"

"This is easy to solve. We can send someone to notify them first. Large caravans usually have sufficient guards. Let them camp and wait for one night. I believe that with the bandits on guard, they will not dare to attack again."

When the deputy captain said this, Chen Cheng thought of something and then said:

"I have a suggestion, Captain, you guys can listen to it."

"Since this is a large caravan, can we temporarily recruit the caravan guards to cooperate with our operations?

Let the caravan stop here and let us hold back the gang for a while, then we can ambush them here and fight our way out later."

Chen Cheng said this while pointing to a location on the map.

The place he pointed to was a good location for an ambush. The captain thought about it and nodded. Then he said to the deputy captain beside him:

"In order to save time, you should take a small team and rush there as quickly as possible."

The deputy captain received the order, then picked out a small group of people to follow him to the caravan ahead.

The captain then asked everyone to get ready and rush to the preset ambush site.

After arriving at the place, Chen Cheng originally wanted to teach these people how to use tree branches as camouflage, but the captain and others reminded him first.

Then Chen Cheng felt funny. How could they not know about this disguised ambush?

After waiting for a while, Chen Cheng and his companions felt some noise in the woods behind them. It was obvious that the gang of bandits had also set their sights on this location.

However, these bandits were so brave that they didn't even put on any disguise. But judging from the order of their formation, it was obvious that they were using military tactics.

Through the gaps between the branches, Chen Cheng and his companions could see a huge caravan coming up the official road ahead.

This caravan was the largest one Chen Cheng had ever seen in his life. The horse-drawn carriages loaded with goods stretched for hundreds of meters with no end in sight.

In addition to the coachman, each carriage has one or two guards.

Looking at the flag in front of the caravan, Chen Cheng knew that this was not a single caravan, but several caravans joined together.

At this time, the bandits on the mountain were looking at this huge caravan. They were first filled with fear, and then with excitement.

Because the guards of this caravan were too loosely dispersed, although they outnumbered them, they could not organize any effective resistance when they formed an army formation and attacked them.

When the caravan approached, Chen Cheng, who was lying in ambush, began to get nervous as if his heart was beating like a drum.

Although he was confident in wiping out these bandits, he was still a rookie and was nervous about this kind of real fighting on the battlefield.

When the caravan approached, Chen Cheng's eyes focused, because he saw two familiar figures at the front of the caravan.

At this time, in front of the caravan, Monet was riding on a horse and nagging to Florina beside him.

Originally, the caravan that Florina had taken on a mission was headed to the Governor's Mansion in the Western Territory, but when they arrived, the prices there were not as ideal as the owner had hoped, so they decided to come to Huidun City on a temporary basis.

In order to retain the adventurers who had come to protect them along the way, the caravan owner raised the original escort price a lot.

But Florina came here to make money, so she didn't leave the caravan.

And on the way, the caravan she was protecting happened to meet the family caravan that Monet was following.

Being a merchant in this world is a dangerous job. Not to mention the monsters roaming in the wild, the bandits who rob houses are the biggest worry for the caravan.

Therefore, as long as the caravans we meet on the road have no grudges against each other, they will generally merge together and travel together.

Chen Cheng quietly crawled to the captain's side, then pointed at Monet in the front and said:

"That flamboyant guy is the heir of the Siduo family. You must protect him later, otherwise Your Highness will have a hard time explaining to the Siduo family."

Chen Cheng did not expect that these two guys would show up, and he even sent people to notify them. Monet is still so flamboyant.

Although they have a good relationship with Monet because of the ruins, this is no longer an ancient ruin. If Monet gets hurt here, the Siduo family will definitely turn against Huidun.

And now Huidun is in the middle of a fight for the throne. This political struggle requires making fewer enemies and more friends.

The Siduo family, a large family in the southern province, is one of the people Huidun needs to win over.

The captain was not an ignorant man, and he naturally knew about the priest family.

And even if Chen Cheng didn't say this, he would never let the caravan members suffer losses.

Just as Monet was chattering to Florina beside him, a feather arrow shot directly towards his throat.

Just when the arrow was about to hit him, Florina beside him jumped up on the horse's back and kicked him off the horse in mid-air.

At this time, no one in the caravan was paying attention to this side. They all seemed to have been prepared and quickly gathered together to face the bandits who were rushing down from the mountain in formation.

Although these bandits were skeptical about the speed at which the mountain team's guards were gathering, when they saw the trucks full of cargo, they threw all their doubts behind them.

The sound of close combat rang out on the official road, and Flora, who had kicked Monet away, changed her moves in mid-air and stabbed the leader of the bandits with a sword.

With a clang, the big sword in the leader's hand was cut off by Florina's sword, and he was also knocked away by Florina's huge force.

The leader got up from the ground and looked at his broken sword. He knew that Florina was a gold-level master.

Just when he was about to order the archers behind him to aim at Florina and shoot her, Chen Cheng and his men who were in ambush rushed out from behind and killed her.

They attacked unexpectedly, and the archers were completely unprepared, so they were killed in no time.

Looking at the city guards attacking from behind, the leader knew that he was defeated this time.

Just as he was lamenting that he was at the end of his rope, Monet got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and said to him:

"What are you sighing about? Watch this."

Immediately, wood magic was activated.

"Spike cage."

In an instant, thick, thorny vines grew out from the ground, forming a cage that wrapped up the leader.
