Chapter 46 Enemies meet on a narrow road
Looking back at the vaguely outlined members of Team 17 behind her, Luna smiled softly at Wang Yao beside her and said, "You have a group of very good teammates. It can be seen that they all care about you very much."

"Haha, they weren't like this before." Wang Yao couldn't help but smile when he remembered the disgust on Shi Liang Xiao Ye's face when he first reported to the 17th team. Then, he said seriously, "Okay, the leisure time is over. Luna, let's go to the front. You tell the centurion to order the main force to speed up the march."

Wang Yao knew that he was just a small soldier and it was not his turn to deploy troops, so he could only tell Luna his ideas and let her implement the tactics for him.

"What's wrong?" Luna was a little confused.

"Speed ​​is of the essence in war!" Wang Yao said with some concern, "Two days have passed. We don't know the situation in the middle and lower lanes, but what is certain is that no matter whether the result is good or bad, Wei will not ignore their top lane. What we have to do now is to destroy the enemy's defense tower as quickly as possible. Otherwise, once Lu Bu returns to the top lane, all our efforts to attack the tower will be wasted."

Luna blinked and said, "Do you think Wei has noticed our whereabouts?"

"I just think we're making too much noise." Wang Yao looked at the main force around him with a little dissatisfaction. The noise made by a thousand soldiers moving around was much louder than he had imagined. Even across the distant mountains, birds and beasts were constantly startled and flew away, not to mention people. If the Wei State also had the habit of sending scouts for reconnaissance, it would be impossible for them not to have been discovered.

Thinking of this, Wang Yao said, "To prevent the whereabouts of the troops from being exposed, you can ask the captain to send 10 elite teams to scout within a three-kilometer radius. If they encounter a large enemy force, they should report immediately. If they encounter a small group of black soldiers, they should be killed without mercy."

"I understand." Luna nodded solemnly.

The two of them quickened their pace and soon caught up with the vanguard of the main force.

"Ms. Luna." When the captain who led the troops saw Luna, he immediately retreated one meter away respectfully. This distance was neither too close nor hindering their conversation. When the captain saw Wang Yao who was quite close to Luna, a hint of surprise and displeasure flashed in his eyes.

To all the soldiers in the army, as the only female hero in Shu, Luna was like a pure lotus that rose from the mud without being stained, a noble existence that could only be admired from afar and not desecrated; and as a captain of a thousand men, he had to stay one meter away to show respect, not to mention the soldier in front of him, who was he? How dare he get so close to the noble body of the hero!

So the captain bowed and asked, "Lady Luna, who is this soldier?"

"His name is Wang Yao. He belongs to the vanguard unit and he is traveling with us this time." Luna said.

"Most of the vanguard unit?" A trace of contempt flashed across the centurion's eyes.

Although it was unprecedented for scouts to take part in the tower attack mission, Luna, as a hero of Shu, had absolute say in the legion. So even though the captain disdained to associate with Wang Yao in his heart, he still looked submissive on the surface.

Wang Yao frowned slightly at the hidden disgust in the eyes of the centurion commander. Luna, who was simple-minded, could not see it, but he knew very well in his heart that from the moment they met, the centurion commander had obviously harbored a hint of inexplicable hostility towards him.

Is it because of Luna?

Wang Yao glanced at Luna's beautiful profile without leaving a trace; the longer he served in the army, the more clearly he understood that the soldiers' worship of heroes was almost blind, otherwise Shi Liang and Ono would not be so excited every time they saw Luna. To put it in a more vivid way, the heroes were like the popular idol-level stars in modern times, and the soldiers were a group of extreme and brain-dead fans, who would have zero tolerance for anything they considered unreasonable.

Wang Yao suddenly realized that he had to keep some distance from Luna in public. Thinking of this, he subconsciously took a small step back. At the same time, the hostility in the eyes of the centurion who noticed Wang Yao's retreat also immediately faded a lot.

He is indeed a brain-dead fan!
Luna did not notice the subtle actions of the two people around her, but followed what Wang Yao said and began to instruct the centurion to order the main force to speed up, and at the same time requested to send 10 elite teams to disperse and scout the surroundings.

Although the centurion was a little confused, he still followed the order.

Soon, 50 soldiers were transferred out of the main force, and then disappeared in the grass and in front at an extremely fast speed. The pace of the main force also began to speed up significantly.

After walking like this for about half an hour, the soldiers who went out for reconnaissance came back in batches.

There were indeed several groups of Wei's illegal soldiers scouting and lurking in the surrounding mountains. Although they were wiped out in time, the news still made Wang Yao sweat.

so close!

Fortunately, he was more careful. If the news leaked out, Wei would definitely send heroes back to defend the top road. He didn't want to encounter that pervert Lu Bu again without all the equipment!

Just when Wang Yao was secretly rejoicing, Luna came over with great joy: "How did you know that the Black Armored Army was lurking around?" Smelling the faint body fragrance of the girl, Wang Yao smiled awkwardly: "It's nothing, after all, I haven't watched the costume dramas for so many years in vain."

"TV drama?"

"To put it simply, in ancient times when information was not well developed, information about both sides depended entirely on human exploration. At this time, if we strictly prevented the enemy's exploration soldiers from infiltrating our territory, we could launch a surprise attack. This was also basic common sense in ancient marches."

Luna stared, then scratched her head shyly: "Hehe, I still don't understand. I'm not good at these things. But, you are really amazing. It feels like a military advisor. It seems that you know a lot of things in advance."

Looking at the cute and ignorant expression on the girl's pretty face, Wang Yao couldn't help but smile. In his mind, Luna was a silly girl who was single-minded and had no scheming at all. It was understandable that she didn't understand these things.

But at this time, there was one person who didn't understand at all!

The centurion stared at the young scout beside him in amazement, his jaw almost dropping to the ground.

To be honest, he didn't understand at first why Luna sent 10 teams out to scout the surroundings. Although he didn't ask too many questions out of respect for the heroes, in his opinion, the main force's mission was to attack the tower, so what was there to scout?

It was not until the dispatched teams came back in batches with the news that the Black Armored Army lurking in the surroundings had been completely wiped out that the centurion realized it belatedly and broke into a cold sweat; just now, their whereabouts were almost exposed!

So the purpose of sending the team out for reconnaissance was to prevent the Black Armor Army's vanguard? He even thought of this, he is truly a hero!
Just when the centurion was about to praise his hero for his quick thinking, he heard the conversation between the scout and Luna. The centurion was surprised to find that all these arrangements did not seem to be Luna's original intention.

Could it be that all this was the intention of this scout?
Just when the centurion was about to ask, the last team that went out for investigation came back.

"Captain, we found a group of black-armored soldiers in the ruins of the defense tower ahead. There are about 200 of them."

After hearing the soldier's report, the captain was shocked: "Black Armored Army? Could it be that the heroes of Wei State have returned to support the top road?!"

"It shouldn't be the heroes of Wei who are coming." Wang Yao suddenly interrupted and asked the soldier who was reporting: "Did you see clearly? There are about 200 of them?"

The soldier was stunned for a moment. He looked at Wang Yao and said hesitantly, "Yes." At the same time, he was also wondering where this scout had come from? Why was he with the hero and the captain?
"That's great!" Wang Yao didn't care about it and just smiled.

"Not good at all!" Luna patted Wang Yao's shoulder in dissatisfaction. She couldn't understand why a soldier was not afraid at all when he heard the news that the enemy hero was approaching. She herself was very nervous!
"Don't worry." Wang Yao smiled at Luna, then turned to the captain and said, "Captain, please order the troops to split into two groups and encircle the black soldiers in front from the left and right."

The centurion frowned deeply, obviously dissatisfied that a mere scout dared to give him orders.

Wang Yao was stunned for a moment, then he realized his overstepping behavior. He looked at Luna beside him, and Luna immediately understood what he meant and said, "Just do as I say."

Looking at the depressed captain who was going down to make arrangements, Luna turned around, but was surprised to find that Wang Yao was about to catch up with the main force with an excited look on his face.

"Hey hey hey? Where are you going? It's very dangerous, do you know that?" Luna quickly grabbed Wang Yao.

"Don't worry, it's not that guy Lu Bu who's coming. You'll know once we get here." Wang Yao smiled mysteriously, then pulled Luna to catch up with the main force.

After walking for a while, a huge piece of rocky ruins suddenly appeared in front of us. It was the first defense tower destroyed by the Wei State.

At this time, there were about 200 black soldiers resting in the ruins.

really!

When Wang Yao saw this group of black soldiers, he smiled even more happily; what a narrow road for enemies! Aren’t these the black soldiers who chased him, Shi Liangda and the other two for half of the road two days ago?
