Chapter 522: Routine
Chengzuo and they encountered a problem, and the army would never be able to quickly shuttle through the jungle in the dark. But Chengzuo had to catch up with Adou as soon as possible, otherwise I was afraid that something would happen.
After discussing with Zhuang Yexiang, the two decided to act in the limelight, and Cheng Zuo took the lead in leading a thousand elite soldiers to catch up quickly. And Zhuang Yexiang led the rest of the people to move forward slowly, and after the two discussed, Cheng Zuo immediately named a few generals, brought a thousand elite soldiers, broke away from the shackles of the army, and quickly disappeared into the dense forest.
The morning light shone on the earth, and the night finally left, and the unknown birdsong sang in the silent woods.
Adou still hadn't closed his eyes all night, and he had been carefully observing the hole on the platform, for fear that Li Zicheng would run away when he wasn't paying attention. And Adou had another worry in his heart, and at this time, he still didn't wait for Chengzuo and them to arrive, which made Adou anxious.
The longer the time drags on, the more there is no overflow for the encirclement and suppression of Li Zicheng. Just when Adou was quite anxious, there was a slight strange sound behind him.
Adou was shocked, and immediately took a closer look, and after a while, he was the first to spot Chengzuo's figure.
Adou didn't dare to slack off, and immediately turned over and got off the tree, and quietly ran towards Chengzuo and them.
After the two converged, Adou didn't talk nonsense, and directly took Chengzuo's thousand people to take the lead in surrounding the small platform in front.
"Li Zicheng is hiding in that cave, right?" After Cheng Zuo checked it, he asked Adou beside him.
"I watched him walk in, but I didn't see him come out again, and there were ten men guarding outside. Judging from these circumstances, Li Zicheng should still be in the cave at present. However, it cannot be ruled out that there may be other exits from this cave. Adou confessed that he had been worried all the time.
"Well, I guess there must be another way out." Cheng Zuo pondered and quickly came to a conclusion.
Judging from Li Zicheng's escape method in the col last time, there is a great possibility that there will be another way out of the cave in front of him.
"I was worried that this would be the result, so I didn't do it. What to do now, you take the idea. Adou shrugged his shoulders and agreed with Chengzuo's remarks.
"It's difficult!" Cheng Zuo muttered and fell silent.
After a long time, I heard Cheng Zuo's words: "For the time being, let's not startle the snake, this time we must be foolproof." So we'd better wait until the army comes, and then surround the entire neighborhood, and then it's not too late to do it. ”
Adou had no opinion, nodded in agreement, turned around and went up the tree again. He hasn't closed his eyes for two days, and he urgently needs a good rest, just right, now Chengzuo and they can completely replace it, staring at the cave, Adou can take the opportunity to take a good rest.
Cheng Zuo consciously replaced Adou's guard, and waited until Zhuang Yexiang arrived with the army, it was almost noon. The army did not have time to rest, and Chengzuo immediately ordered the whole army to disperse and surround the entire cliff.
After everything was ready, Cheng Zuo ordered someone to wake up Adou, and then he and Zhuang Yexiang led the army into the cave.
Ten men guarding the platform outside were killed in an instant, and Cheng Zuo and Zhuang Yexiang were the first to kill them. However, the situation in the cave was unexpected by the two.
There is a cave in this cave, only the entrance of the cave is less than 100 meters, after all, it is narrow, in the depths of the cave, it is actually a huge karst cave, and the top of the cave is actually open.
In fact, Cheng Zuo didn't know that this was not a cave at all, but an extinct volcanic crater.
Whether it was a crater or a cave, Cheng Zuo and Zhuang Yexiang didn't pay attention to this, the two of them only wanted to catch Li Zicheng at the moment and then execute him. However, in this cave, the two did not find Li Zicheng and others.
waited until Adou arrived, and under his careful investigation, he soon found some clues. Adou continued to follow the traces of Li Zicheng and others along these clues.
It wasn't until Adou and the others walked out of the cave and arrived at the back exit of the cliff that it had confirmed their previous guess that there was indeed not only one exit from this cave.
"Damn, we're a step too late after all." Cheng Zuo looked at the empty woods in front of him, and suddenly trembled with anger.
Adou frowned and continued to look for the clues left by Li Zicheng, and after nearly half an hour of checking, Adou finally found that Li Zicheng was leaving to the east. Judging from these remaining traces, Adou said with certainty: "Li Zicheng has been out of here for almost half a day. ”
"You mean, Li Zicheng left this cave before he came outside?" Cheng Zuo is even more angry now.
Adou nodded and said, "Indeed, obviously, this is just a smoke bomb that he dropped. This guy should have another more hidden hideout, as the saying goes, the cunning rabbit has three litters, and this guy is indeed cunning enough. ”
Cheng Zuo frowned and said, "Then can you track Li Zicheng's traces now?" ”
Adou said uncertainly: "There should be no problem." ”
Chengzuo was immediately overjoyed: "Then let's not separate this time, and take the army to catch up directly." ”
Adou nodded and said, "Okay, that's the only way to do it now." ”
After the two discussed, they immediately assembled a large army, and under the guidance of Adou again, they chased after the traces left by Li Zicheng.
Fortunately, Li Zicheng's third hiding place is not far away, only about a thousand meters. Adou and Chengzuo soon discovered Li Zicheng and others.
This time they were staying in a small village, which was halfway up the hill, still hidden among the dense trees, and it was difficult to find such a place from a distance without approaching.
After Cheng Zuo was sure that it was correct, he immediately ordered the encirclement and suppression, with 30,000 Dongjiang troops in charge of encirclement and defense on the periphery, while the other 20,000 Dongjiang troops rushed directly to kill.
In an instant, a series of killing sounds sounded in the quiet mountains, and Adou and Chengzuo killed them directly. And Zhuang Yexiangye was not far behind, she had two knives in her hands, rushing more anxious than anyone else.
Li Zicheng had actually arrived here not long ago, and before he could even eat, he suddenly heard movement outside.
"King Chuang, it's not good, there are a large number of Dongjiang troops outside, and the outside can't stand the ......" Before the old man finished speaking, suddenly a sharp arrow shot directly through his chest from his back.
The old man had a pair of old eyes open, and his body collapsed to the ground weakly, and he died for some reason, a typical look of death.
Compared with the old man's unclear death, Li Zicheng's movements were much faster, he rushed to the inner room as soon as possible, and then kicked the bed open. There seemed to be a black hole on the ground, and Li Zicheng jumped into it without any hesitation.
