The speed of the march was not fast, the Demon Legion and its reserve army were in front, and the more than 2,000 people from the Xuanling Sect and the Dongjun Sect followed, a few hundred meters apart.

After more than an hour, the troops stopped.

When Xiao Nan looked around, the officers of the other teams also gathered beside him.

"Pan Cheng, this is the place you are talking about, right?" asked Xiao Nan.

"Commander Xiao, this is the place, only this mountain is located here, and the surrounding terrain is open, which is convenient for reconnaissance, easy to defend, and conducive to evacuation, and there is. Pan Cheng said this, and stretched out his finger to the several undulating mounds in the east, "It's an ideal training place over there." ”

Xiao Nan nodded, this is indeed a good place, it is less than fifty miles away from Ikeda City, and the two form a left and right horn trend with each other, but their current position is about fifteen miles ahead, and the large army of evil spirits will pass through the route thirty miles in front of them and go straight to the location of Ikeda Castle.

"Regimental leaders, let them rest on the spot, not allowed to move around, wait for scout news, and be ready to fight at any time!"

The officers agreed, but they just shouted a few simple and powerful commands loudly, and the more than 2,000 people of the demon army sat down in place according to their respective formations.

More than 2,000 people from Han Yusheng and Dongguo's family, who arrived later, also settled in the other direction of the forest.

"Miss Gu, Uncle Wei," Xiao Nan called to the two people who were a little behind, and when the two flew forward, Xiao Nan said sincerely: "The reserve army of more than 2,000 depends on the two of you." ”

As soon as his words fell, the two spoke almost at the same time, but Uncle Wei San immediately shut up and let Gu Mengluo speak first, only to see her raise her hand and shake the few strands of cloud-like hair hanging on her chest to the back of her head, and said with a solemn expression: "Isn't there a war coming soon, I want to go to the battlefield with my troops." ”

The troops she was talking about were naturally the long-range magic attack team with three hundred soldiers.

Some fat Uncle Wei San also laughed a few times, and said, "I also mean Miss Gu." ”

Xiao Nan snorted coldly, "You two don't know how important your mission is, do you?"

"They have been training for so long and they know the training process, so they can either send two team leaders or platoon leaders to supervise. Gu Mengluo's pale purple gaze stared at Xiao Nan.

"You're going to get me out of the squad now? This team is going to a beast cart moving at high speed, how dare you pull a few nails and wooden wedges out of the frame of the beast cart?"

When Xiao Nan said this, Gu Mengluo wanted to argue, but Xiao Nan raised her hand to stop her and continued: "The tasks of the two of you are as important as theirs. Xiao Nan pointed to the leaders of the surrounding regiments.

"It's even more important, what we are short of now is qualified soldiers, after half a month, we will find you two to ask for two hundred and fifty qualified soldiers, and a month later, we will find you two to ask for more!"

He saw Gu and Wei glance at each other, and chuckled: "You are not allowed to have any objections, you two will immediately sort out the establishment of the reserve army, according to the standards of the demon army, and use people according to their abilities and talents." ”

Hearing this, the two of them didn't say anything, they just nodded cautiously, and Xiao Nan said again: "You also have to send more vigilance around here, and also form a scout team of fifty people, and it is a reason to detect the enemy's situation. ”

The two of them received the order, and with the same loud orders, the reserve army drove neatly towards the undulating terrain.

"Brother Xiao, I really admire your way of leading soldiers. Han Yusheng, who had already come, said with a smile.

"I'm also forced, these are all living people, I don't want any of them to lose their lives casually. ”

This was the first time Xiao Nan said this, and the people present, regardless of whether they were men or women, heard it in their ears, and their hearts were filled with strange touches.

For them, such delicate emotions are rare. Everyone tries to keep a calm expression, they are cultivators, and the feelings of death, their own or others', are almost the same as the most basic external expressions: horror, unwillingness, grief, etc., etc.

But only this Xiao Commander puts other people's lives on the same level as his own.

Han Yusheng sighed at this time, Xiao Nan's words touched his mind, a few months ago, nearly a thousand people fell in front of his eyes.

He raised his eyes to look at Xiao Nan, "Halfway through the previous year, I met several teams from Ikeda Castle, I asked them, and they said that the evil spirits might attack Ikeda Castle today. ”

"Well, I asked too, that's what I said. ”

These people spoke, although they were calm on the surface, but their hearts were boiling, waiting for news of the scouts.

After sitting idly for more than half an hour, I saw two people from the southwest leaping towards this side one after the other.

"The scout is here with a message!"

All of them stood up, nervously looking at the approaching scouts.

"Commander Xiao ....... ”

"What's the situation?" Before he could finish speaking, Xun Qianhu asked.

"An army of evil spirits has appeared, in the direction of Ikeda Castle. ”

"How far is it?" Xiao Nan asked.

"When we found it, it was more than 300 miles away from us, and it would take some time for the two of us to rush back, and at their speed, it was estimated that there might be more than 200 miles now. ”

"How many evil spirits are there?" someone asked.

"The Evil Spirit Army is divided into two parts, the two are less than ten miles apart, the front is estimated to be more than 100,000, and the back may be 50,000. The scout who arrived later said in a deep voice.

"So many?" Dong Guo Jing's second aunt frowned, and the expressions of the others were also a little solemn.

Xiao Nan

But he was silent, and called Pan Cheng, Pan Cheng immediately came closer, Xiao Nan took out a piece of paper from the dragon ball, pointed to an area in the map and asked him, "Is this map accurate?"

"Absolutely, I was here last night and drew it by hand. Pan Cheng nodded affirmatively.

"Go as fast as you can. After Xiao Nan finished speaking, he didn't wait for everyone to agree, so he walked down the hillside, but just after walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around, and said to Han Yusheng and Dongguo's family with a smile on his face: "You two, can you only watch the battle today?" Hidden on the two mountains on the far right, don't be alarmed by the evil spirits!"

Everyone in the two families was stunned, but they also nodded immediately, and the corners of Han Yusheng's mouth showed a helpless smile.

After more than ten minutes, I came to the place marked on the map, five or six mounds covering a wide area, as if holding hands in a row.

Xiao Nan smiled knowingly, he was very satisfied with the terrain chosen.

In the open space below the mountain, it stretches for several kilometers to see the high mountain opposite.

And this open space, almost charred black, is difficult to see vegetation, even the original mud yellow of the land. The reason for this, all the cultivators knew well, it was the traces left by the burning of corpses after every battle.

When the breeze picks up, you can smell a strong burnt smell with a hint of rancid odor on the tip of your nose.

Xiao Nan motioned for the Han family and the Dongguo family to occupy the rightmost hill, and once again begged the two families to do a good job of concealment.

Xiao Nan sent his demon army to three hills, the soldiers first lay in ambush on the back of the mountain, and the officers watched on the mountain, ready to give the order to attack.

Gu Jiao's long-range attack team was in the center, and there were also one hundred elites of Xun Qianhu, and the ambulance team led by He Xian and Yi Feng was also among them.

And more than 1,000 people headed by Fan Tuan are on the right, and Han Tuan is on the left. This team was originally from three families, the Offshore Sect, the Xingyue Sect, and the Songhe Sect, and the disciples of these three families had already been mixed and unified at the beginning of the training.

After everything was prepared, Xiao Nan finally said solemnly to all the officers: "I repeat it again, you have remembered it for me, act according to the signals I sent, and absolutely obey my orders, and those who violate it will be killed!"

More than 2,000 soldiers lay in ambush behind their respective mountains, like the mud and rocks that already existed in the mountains, and even breathing seemed to have been trained countless times, and the sound was slightly weaker than that of ordinary people.

Xiao Nan, Gu Jiao, Xun Qianhu and a few people were lying on the hill, Lu Miaoying, Wei Shuangling and several other women were also lying on their stomachs silently, and Hongmei was hiding in a bush, Xiao Nan had already had the intention to take it to receive training.

"It's coming. Gu Jiao said softly, and several other people also felt a slight tremor on the ground, and they had been waiting for nearly half an hour.

"Huh!" Wei Shuangling suddenly exclaimed, and it turned out that ten kilometers away on the right, a large group of black and oppressive people also appeared.

"That should have been the army sent by Ikeda Castle to stop it. Lu Miaoying said softly.

This unexpected thing made their minds flutter.

"Commander Xiao, what should we do now?" Gu Jiao asked solemnly.

"It's even better than I expected. Xiao Nan raised his eyebrows and smiled.

As they spoke softly, they first saw the dust flying in the distance, and then the army of evil spirits finally appeared in the field of vision of several people.

The rumbling march was getting closer and closer, and a few minutes later, the huge army appeared in front of everyone's eyes, a mixture of beast and human form.

Some of them were covered in tattered flesh, while others were pitch black as steel, with a metallic sheen.

Xun Qianhu looked at Xiao Nan, Gu Jiao also followed the sideways, but Xiao Nan glared at the two of them angrily, "I know when to give the order to attack." ”

The evil spirit walking in front should have discovered the troops in the distance, and the speed suddenly increased dramatically, one after another, and the roaring sound was like a stormy wave, passing backwards, so not spectacular.

The army of 100,000 evil spirits rushed through the eyes of everyone from beginning to end, and it took more than ten minutes, and everyone who was lying on the top of the mountain watching was surprised and inexplicable: What kind of fame is this? Aren't we here to exterminate evil spirits? How can we ambush and not fight?

Han Yusheng and everyone in the Dongguo family were also puzzled.

"Hmph, high-sounding. Dong Guo Jing's second aunt just said this disdainfully.

Han Yusheng also smiled and muttered: "In this way, I will definitely be able to ensure that my soldiers will not die in a single battle, and they will be undefeated." It's ridiculous, starting from Jingcheng and delaying it for several months now, I thought I would see some earth-shattering scenes....... ”

"It's already handed over over there, brother, shall we join?" asked Han Yuzheng.

In their disdain and frustration, Pan Cheng suddenly appeared on their mountain.

"Master Han, Mrs. Dongguo. He bowed.

"What's the matter?" Han Yusheng asked in a disdainful tone.

"Our Commander Xiao asked me to pass on a few words to you, so that you must not be impulsive, he will not let you down. As he spoke, he pointed his hand in the direction where the evil spirits were coming from, and an army of evil spirits behind him was rushing towards him quickly.

"Hmph, I know, we don't move, I want to see how he meets the enemy and puts on a good show for us!"

He was able to make such a promise, so much so that it was in line with Xiao Nan's wishes, Xiao Nan was most worried that this side would act rashly and disrupt his plan, and he did not draw up a better record than the original plan.

The army of evil spirits behind them is also huge, and it has been mixed up in front of them.

"I know, you calm me down!" Xiao Nan yelled at the few people who threw puzzled glances at him again.

The confusion of everyone on the top of the hill gradually increased, and all the officers under him

Some people have already begun to curse in their hearts.

The second Evil Spirit Legion also sped up its speed at the moment when it discovered the melee ahead.

A minute later, the evil spirit had passed half past their eyes, and another minute later, it was already at the end.

Xiao Nan stared intently, staring at the tail of the Evil Spirit Legion, three meters, four meters, ten meters, he was looking for the most suitable ambush distance.

When he was twenty meters away, he suddenly shouted loudly to Feng Yan in front of him, and sent an attack signal to the troops on the left.

"Boom, boom, boom" There were three loud bangs, Feng Yan got up, and with a wave of his hand, three red fireballs shot in the direction of Han Tuantou on the left.

"Brothers, rush me!" was the rough roar of the head of the Han group.

The more than 1,000 soldiers who were lurking rose up, and in less than ten seconds, they appeared in the open space under the mountain, and the formation was like that, without the slightest chaos.

Xiao Nan looked at it, laughed heartily, and proudly said to the people around him: "The effect of this training is excellent and in place." ”

The Evil Spirit Army, which had already left forty or fifty meters away, suddenly saw the figure rushing out from behind, and began to turn around and pounce, and in the blink of an eye, they were in one place.

"Seal the flames, signal to the right and get them ready to charge. ”

Immediately, a fireball exploded in the sky above Fan Tuanshou, and this signal only made them ready, but they still had to hide.

"The head of the Gu battalion, set up a formation on this mountainside, attack freely, only hold on, and are not allowed to charge. ”

Gu Jiao received the order, and in just a moment, these more than 300 long-range attackers were scattered all over the mountainside in front of him, and Lu Miaoying, Xun Yue and Dong Guo Jing were also among them.

And the thousand people who were already fighting were fighting extremely easily, because this army of evil spirits was just attacking this group of people in batches, and most of the evil spirits were still pouring forward.

Looking at the situation of Han Tuanshou moving forward bravely and pressing step by step, Xiao Nan frowned, turned his head and said to He Xian beside him: "You hurry up and inform Han Tuanshou and ask him not to rush in, and gradually retreat with his people to lead the enemy to our side." ”

He casually pointed to a place, which was the position to be fought, roughly more than two hundred meters to the left.

In less than ten minutes, the head of the Han regiment followed his order and retreated to that position, and at this time, there were more and more evil spirits that came back from the reversal, and they became more and more dense.

And Han Tuanshou and Gu Jiao and the others still seem to feel that it is not enough, their soldiers cooperate seamlessly, in this short attack, none of the soldiers of the Demon Legion were killed, and the evil spirits killed were not to mention two thousand.

Gu Jiao and several of his retainers stood at the front of the three hundred people, holding a silver longbow in their hands, and the arrows were like meteors, each arrow with a whistling sound, piercing through the head of the evil spirit.

Behind him, all kinds of magic merged, and they shot at the densest ranks of evil spirits.

It is not entirely accurate to say that it is shooting, because in addition to bows and arrows and flying daggers such as Lu Miaoying's hand, there are also ice picks, meteorites, rapid fireballs, scimitars that rotate around, and so on.

The most evil spirits rushed towards them, and they could be eliminated the fastest, destroying hundreds of evil spirits in a minute.

"What about us, just watching?" Wei Shuangling, who had already come to Xiao Nan's side, pulled his sleeve.

"Wait, you see, those evil spirits are coming madly. ”

But when the few pieces in his mouth rushed over, most of them were killed, and Xiao Nan still didn't issue a new order to rush and kill.

"Follow me!" He Xian said suddenly, the person he called was of course his ambulance team, because he had already seen that someone in Han Tuan's team had been injured.

The seven or eight people who went with him may have itchy hands, and when they rescued the wounded, they did not forget to bombard a few evil spirits.

At this moment, the situation on the field is becoming more and more severe, and twenty or thirty thousand evil spirits have gathered in front of them.

And the situation Gu Jiao faced was also the most urgent, hundreds of evil spirits who didn't know what death was, stepping on the mountains of accumulated corpses of their companions, soaring and rushing wildly.

It had been difficult for the evil spirits to get within fifty meters of them, but now it had narrowed to less than thirty meters.

Han Tuantou, who was two hundred meters to the left, also went from being able to do his best to the current situation, and more than a dozen injured people had been rescued by He Xian and Yi Feng in turn several times.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Xiao Nan said coldly: "Send a signal and let the right army attack." ”

Feng Yan, who had been nervously clenching his fists for a long time, sent three crimson fireballs to the right almost as soon as Xiao Nan spat out the last word.

The sound of killing shook the sky, and the thousand or so people who came down the mountain like a fierce tiger rushed towards the dense evil spirits like cutting melons and vegetables.

The messy and disorganized Evil Spirit Legion attacked in the direction of the left and right, and after a few minutes, Gu Jiao's pressure suddenly eased a lot, and the same was true for the head of the Han group.

"What about us?" Xun Qianhu asked as he stepped forward and turned sideways to face Xiao Nan.

"Wait!"

At this time, Pan Cheng also stood up, showed a flattering smile to him, and said: "Commander Xiao, you see that the head of the Han regiment has been fighting for so long, and he is a little weak, and I still have nearly thirty scouts here, I can rush down to help them!"

glanced at him, then turned his head to look at Xun Qianhu, who was extremely unhappy, but said to Pan Cheng: "Well, go quickly!"

"You ......!" Xun Qianhu looked at him, "What do you mean!"

"You are our last safeguard. Xiao Nan pointed to the side of Ikeda City, during which there were still sparse evil spirits rushing towards this side, and when Xun Qianhu turned his head to look, Xiao Nan continued: "At the most critical juncture, you can fight, especially when we are defeated, we need to retreat, and the sharp knife battalion you lead needs to drag the enemy and cover our retreat." ”

Xun Qianhu's face was still unhappy, but he didn't speak again.
