Chapter 586: Ambush
"Your Excellency!"
"The terrain ahead is steep, and there are mountains and forests to cover it, I'm afraid there will be an ambush!"
"Let's let the scouts scout do some research before we move forward!"
Li Ling, who was wearing red clothes and red armor and had a resolute face, looked at the terrain in front of him, stopped abruptly, and his eyes showed hesitation, and finally he came to the position of the Chinese army in person and reported to Situ Xing.
When Situ Xing heard Li Ling's report, his eyes couldn't help but stagnate, and he subconsciously looked up, just as Li Ling said, there was a deep canyon in front of him, with steep rock walls on both sides.
Moreover, because there are no people for many years, the ground is covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves and dead branches.
If the army enters rashly, it is locked with falling rocks at both ends, and it is attacking with fire.
Situ Xing's 5,000 soldiers, I'm afraid there are not too many who can survive.
"What a dangerous place!"
"Are you worried that someone is in ambush here?"
Situ said without any hesitation.
"Yes, sir!"
"If the last general guards this place, he will definitely lie in ambush on the cliffs on both sides, wait for the enemy to fully enter the canyon, and then drop boulders to prevent the opponent from escaping. ”
"Then attack it with stray arrows, falling rocks, and open fire, and the enemy will definitely be in chaos!"
"At that time, we will only need to pay a small price to completely defeat the enemy!"
Li Ling saw that Situ was also aware of the danger of the terrain, and nodded without any hesitation.
"This matter!"
"I have to guard against it!"
"Zhuge Wuhou once used this method to burn the vine armor army. ”
"Although the rattan armor we are wearing is not the same rattan armor, if we are stopped and cut off, I am afraid that they will also be crushed!"
"Order the three armies to rest in place, and the vanguard battalion scouts are dispatched, and they must search carefully, so as not to fall into the trap of the enemy. ”
"No!"
"The last general obeys!"
Li Ling nodded heavily, hurriedly turned around, and everyone only heard a slight sound of armor rubbing, and when they looked again, Li Ling was already a few feet away.
With Li Ling's return, one order after another was issued.
The pioneer battalion, which was advancing rapidly, also stopped abruptly, and the other three battalions were also ordered, and they all quickly set up camp, huddled together, like snakes.
With such a formation, they can cope with the enemy's charge with ease.
。。。
"Commander!"
"Did the officers and soldiers find out about us?"
On the cliffs, among the lush forests of artemisia grass, there are hundreds of warriors who are sturdy and imposing, like poisonous snakes looking for fighters.
When they saw the troops led by Situ Torture stop in front of the canyon, their eyes couldn't help but show worry.
"Impossible!"
The samurai commander was also surprised, but he immediately said with great certainty:
"Impossible!"
"We are hiding very secretly, and we have applied a secret plaster made by the sect, which can not only repel mosquitoes, but also remove the smell on our bodies. So as to achieve the purpose of concealing yourself, not to mention that you can't find it under the canyon. ”
"Even if they're above the canyon, don't even think they're going to spot us if they're not close. ”
The other samurai couldn't help but nod secretly in their hearts when they heard the leader's determined tone, just as the leader said, they took great pains to ambush this time.
Not only is there a lot of hidden places, but even some drugs are smeared on the body to remove mosquitoes and expel breath.
As long as you don't get closer, you won't be able to find their existence.
"Calm down!"
"Hide your bodies so that the scouts don't find them. ”
"If someone makes a mistake and the plan fails, I'm blamed for not being merciful afterwards!"
The samurai commander looked around fiercely, lowered his voice, and said in a somewhat gloomy voice.
"No!"
"No!"
The other warriors listened to the sound full of evil energy, their hearts couldn't help but chuckle, the muscles of their whole bodies instantly tensed, and they subconsciously lowered their heads, slowed down their breathing, and wanted to bury themselves in the ground, for fear of being found by the enemy scouts.
The samurai commander observed carefully for a while, and found no mistakes, then nodded secretly, hiding his body in a pile of withered grass, and his whole body aura converged, like a piece of dead wood, and like a mottled stone.
Not to mention looking at him from a distance, even if he passes closely, if you don't look closely, you will definitely ignore his presence.
The other samurai, although not as powerful as the chieftain, still use trees, dead grass, rocks, etc. to hide their bodies tightly.
It took them less than a quarter of an hour to hide their figures.
There was a clatter of Sissoka from the cliff, and claws attached to the ropes were thrown up from below, either tangled around the trees or stuck in the crevices of the rocks.
"It's coming!"
"The scouts from the place are here!"
The samurai, who was hiding among the dead grass and rocks, ambushed like a poisonous snake, only felt that his heart couldn't help but twitch, and his eyes also showed nervousness and worry.
They subconsciously lay their bodies lower, and some people closed their eyes directly, as if someone could see the reflection in their eyes.
With the sound of armor rubbing, the rope suddenly tightened, and a human head poked up very abruptly.
The scout was also very careful, and did not take it lightly because there was no one around, but carefully observed for a long time to make sure that there was no danger, and then climbed up from below.
Seeing that there was no danger, the other scouts also climbed up the cliff one after another along the rope, and looked around cautiously as if they were afraid of being attacked.
However, they were also too worried, and now that the samurai were eager to hide their bodies in the dirt, how could they attack rashly.
After all, they were not plotting a few scouts, but a large number of Situ Xing's army.
"Search carefully!"
"Don't miss a clue!"
"There are thousands of brothers behind us, and the responsibility on us is the greatest!"
After the samurai above had taken refuge, more than a dozen sturdy scouts climbed to the top of the cliff by taking advantage of the gaps between the rocks and the crooked trunks of trees.
The scouts, dressed in light armor and with a special Yingluo mark on their heads, were looking around cautiously and vigilantly, and only after they found no danger did he put down the simple sword in his hand. He commanded with a serious face.
"No!"
"No!"
Naturally, the other scouts were aware of their responsibilities.
Scouts, because they have a special mission, so each of them is the elite of the elite.
It is for this reason that every scout has a special sense of mission on their shoulders.
"Let's go!"
After a short break, the team saw that everyone had adjusted their breath and emotions, and then said loudly.
"No!"
"No!"
"No!"
The scouts nodded heavily, and then they spilled out like a net, like a plow for ploughing the field, turning over every inch of the surrounding land.
Burst!
Burst!
Burst!
The knives in the hands of the scouts are all specially made, not only lightweight, but also extremely sharp.
I saw that with the wielding of the Pu knife, several small trees that were not very thick were suddenly cut in two, the canopy fell, and smashed to the ground, and the withered grass was suddenly pressed down, revealing some blackened soil inside.
"No one!"
"No one!"
One by one, the scouts looked around solemnly.
Using the Pu knife in his hand to spy around, as they advanced, the samurai who had been in ambush for a long time couldn't help but pinch their hearts, for fear that they would be discovered by these scouts.
They subconsciously pressed their heads lower, their cheeks pressed tightly against the ground, and their bodies curled up like an old turtle.
Everyone's eyes were tightly closed, for fear of being spied on and waiting for the clues to be discovered.
There is an old saying that what you are afraid of comes.
Just as the samurai kept praying in their hearts, hoping that they would soon end their spying and not be discovered by the scouts.
One of the scout's faces suddenly turned strange, as if he had noticed something, and his body involuntarily walked towards the place where the samurai was hiding.
"This!"
"How is this possible?"
"Did he find something?"
Feeling the distance between the two getting closer and closer, the samurai leader's eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of nervousness, and his heart was even more like turning over the river and the sea.
But he soon dismissed the idea.
If he was really discovered by the scouts, I am afraid that the scouts would not come over, but would directly blow the whistle to warn his colleagues and the army down the mountain.
"He must not have discovered us!"
Thinking of this, the samurai commander looked confident and motioned for the others not to move.
The samurai leader's heart was beating more and more slowly, and the flow of blood was like a babbling stream, slowly becoming silent, and the breath of his whole body was even more constricted, and it seemed that the whole person was like an emotionless stone.
In this state, even if a person's eyes fall on him, as long as he does not look closely, he will only think that it is just a piece of dead wood or a cold stone.
"It's coming!"
Feeling the scout getting closer and closer to himself, beads of sweat slowly oozed from the samurai leader's palms. If it is discovered and alarms others, their ambush today will be a failure.
"Dao Ancestor bless!"
"Dao Ancestor bless!"
"Dao Ancestor bless!"
"Don't make a mistake!"
Affected by this tense atmosphere, he couldn't help but pray secretly in his heart.
Even though he was from a sect and had morning and evening classes every day, he had never been as devout as he is today.
"Dao Ancestor bless!"
"You must bless your disciples, if you get through this difficulty, after returning to the mountain, you will definitely worship Gao Xiang!"
Burst!
Burst!
Burst!
The sound of the light armor grinding was getting louder and louder, and he could faintly hear the scout's tanuki-like footsteps and the sound of breathing.
Near!
It's getting closer!
He seemed to be able to feel the heat emanating from the scout's body.
It was as if, as soon as he looked up, he could see a completely unfamiliar face.
The samurai commander's heart twitched, and the tension made him feel the urge to stand up and draw his sword.
