Chapter 61: Isolated Island Ambush
"Okay!Xiu'er, eat quickly!" Ye Gucheng slowly handed the grilled fish in his hand to Xuanyuan Xiu.
Xuanyuan Xiu smiled sweetly, took the grilled fish and feasted on it.
"I still don't know something. Zhang Yueli took the grilled fish handed by Ye Gucheng and said with a full of doubts: "If there is really a detailed work in the army, what is the point of us dividing our troops to fight like this?
Ye Gucheng swallowed a piece of fish meat and said indifferently: "So, I use the elimination method! If the Montenegrin clan knows about the division of our army, it means that the detailed work is in the accompanying army; at the same time, I have ordered all the generals to pay close attention to the movements in the army, and if anyone releases carrier pigeons, take them immediately." On the contrary, it shows that the fine work is very likely to be in the left-behind army of the isolated island. β
"What?" Zhang Yueli was anxious at this time, and hurriedly said: "What if there is really a small work on the isolated island?"
"Don't worry! The isolated island is safer than ever at this moment, before the Black Mountain Clan has defeated the Holy Fire Sect, it is impossible to attack our army, if there is an enemy to attack, it must be the Holy Fire Sect, and the fine work should be on the side of the Black Mountain Clan, and it will definitely not let the isolated island fall into the hands of the Holy Fire Sect. β
"Holy Fire Sect?" Zhang Yueli was stunned again, and said puzzledly, "Isn't the Holy Fire Sect our ally, how could they attack us?"
"I hope so! You can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to defend people!" Ye Gucheng didn't seem to want to explain more, and concentrated on eating grilled fish.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yueli also ate the grilled fish silently.
In fact, Ye Gucheng still had reservations, he didn't tell Zhang Yueli that he had planted spies in the Holy Fire Sect and the Black Mountain Clan at the same time, of course, provided that the people sent out could complete the task!
Xuanyuan Xiu noticed that Ye Gucheng only ate one grilled fish and stopped, and couldn't help but be curious: "Gucheng, why don't you eat it?"
"Xiu'er, the soldiers are more tired than us!
Xuanyuan Xiu was suddenly stunned, and after a moment of silence, he said solemnly: "Then I won't eat it either, and the rest will be given to the soldiers!"
Zhang Yueli glanced up at Xuanyuan Xiu, and suddenly felt that the other party was not as annoying as he imagined!
"Xiu'er! I'm sorry! When we return to Xincheng, I will definitely let you eat enough!" Ye Gucheng knew that Xuanyuan Xiu was simple by nature and didn't understand the world!
"Lonely City, I'm going to eat the biggest and biggest grilled fish. Xuanyuan Xiu thought of that scene, and couldn't help but leave a trace of saliva.
Ye Gucheng felt a pain in his heart, and said softly: "Okay! I will definitely make you the biggest and most delicious grilled fish!"
"Don't forget, there's mine!" Zhang Yueli stared at Ye Gucheng coldly.
"Okay!" Ye Gucheng couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Three days later, a ride of wind and dust rolled in, whispered in Ye Gucheng's ear for a moment, and then left quickly.
The generals didn't know what the herald said to Ye Gucheng, but it could be seen that Ye Gucheng seemed to have become a lot more relaxed.
The pace of the march began to slowly pick up.
To the south of the island, 10,000 cavalry were secretly marching.
Broken Soul Cliff, under the endless abyss of the isolated island, 10,000 cavalry are slowly advancing.
The road to the bottom of the valley was very difficult to walk, and there were many forks in the mountain road, which can be described as nine turns and eighteen turns, and the army was soon divided into multiple teams and marched cautiously.
"An Dongxin, are you sure it's this road?" Wan Yanhui looked at this mountain road that was becoming more and more tortuous and narrow, and his doubts were even more serious, not to mention horseback riding, walking began to become difficult.
"Returning to the military division, there is nothing wrong with this road, and it will be there soon. Although An Dongxin replied, he did not look back, but accelerated his pace.
I don't know why, Wan Yanhui began to feel that something was wrong, and inadvertently, he saw An Dongxin with a white cloth tied to his left arm, and he was suspicious, and after a glance, he found that most of the affiliated tribes had white cloths tied on their arms.
Not good!
As if realizing something, Wan Yanhui's face changed greatly.
The screams confirmed his suspicions.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
In the midst of the screams, the subordinate clan soldiers who were at the forefront suddenly slashed the Holy Fire Sect clan soldiers around them, and then quickly rushed forward.
The ambush battle has officially begun!
I saw the gravel and arrow feathers all over the mountains flying down like a waterfall, and this time, the Holy Fire Cult cavalry suffered, and they all screamed to death, either by the gravel or by the arrow feathers.
"Quick, rush forward!" Wan Yanhui knew that he had been fooled, and he couldn't help but hate itchy.
Soon, the cavalry that was crowding forward was forced to retreat!
"Military division, we can't cross the front, the road is too crowded, and the soldiers of the Xuanyuan clan are guarding, our army can't break through, let's retreat quickly. β
Listening to his subordinates' reports, Wan Yanhui was even more angry, and roared angrily: "An Dongxin, I must kill you!
"Retreat!"
The Holy Fire Cult cavalry hurriedly stepped on the gravel and the corpses and retreated, but unfortunately, a large area was taken away by the rain of arrows and rubble.
"Oh no! The retreat route is blocked, and it is full of soldiers and horses from the new city, and our army can't get out. β
Wan Yanhui listened to the continuous screams in front of him, raised his weapon in despair, and roared: "The holy flame will not stop, and the clan will last forever!"
"The flame will never stop, and the people will live forever!"
The trapped cavalry of the Holy Fire Cult looked at each other with compassion, raised their machetes, and went forward to kill one after another.
It's a killing without suspense!
In this battle, all the cavalry of the Holy Fire Sect were buried in the canyon, and even if Yan Hui had extraordinary intelligence, he could not escape the death of random arrows!
The night always comes very fast! At night, the wind passes without a trace, and the shadows of the trees are swaying!
On the flat ground surrounded by two mountains and forests, tents were lined up, and patrols were vigilant.
Ye Gucheng sat quietly on the boulder, staring ahead with blank eyes, as if he was thinking and worrying!
A valley in the distance, it was exactly what he needed to conquer the last barrier of the Black Mountain Clan, the Snake Valley!
Snake Valley does not refer to the valley where poisonous snakes are rampant, but refers to the winding mountain path that looks like a giant mountain range that has been crushed by a giant snake.
Such a road is simply unable to accommodate the army to rush and kill, plus the enemy army is holding on, only need to deploy defenses on both sides of the valley, let alone 10,000 troops, even if he transfers the 20,000 troops hidden in the mountains and forests to attack together, I am afraid it will be extremely difficult to overcome!
What worries him the most is that he has been blocked here for several days, coupled with the strict order not to plunder the resources of the surrounding villages, there is a serious shortage of water and food supplies in the army.
Every time he thought about it, he had a terrible headache.
Suddenly, the patrol shouted, dozens of people quickly rushed into the forest, and soon, two enemy scouts were escorted out.
The enemy scouts seemed to be very frightened when they saw Ye Gucheng, and their bodies were shaking all the time.
"Lord Castle, what should these two scouts do? β
Ye Gucheng was about to speak, but was attracted by a commotion.
It turned out that the soldiers of the Zhang family saw that the soldiers of a subordinate clan drank water, and thought that their status was more noble than them, so they took it away and drank it, and the latter refused to accept it, which triggered a fight between dozens of people from the two clans.
The two sides began to quarrel with each other, then began to push and shove, and as it escalated, some soldiers were ready to draw their knives.
Ye Gucheng was very angry, he thought that after such a long run-in, the soldiers had already eliminated racial discrimination, but now it seems that he is still too naΓ―ve!
Seeing that the soldiers of the two tribes were silently waiting for the attack, his heart moved, and he ordered the troublemakers of all tribes to be arrested on the spot, and they would be dealt with tomorrow together with the enemy scouts.
Nothing was said all night.
Under the scorching sun, 10,000 troops stood in neat shape in the clearing.
Directly ahead, dozens of soldiers were forcibly pressed to their stomachs on the grass, and behind each soldier stood a soldier with a baton on standby.
Compared to the two Montenegrin scouts who were guarded by the side, everyone's eyes were more focused on these soldiers.
Zhang Yueli's pretty face was cold, and she stared coldly at the initiator in front of her.
"Last night, there was chaos in the army, the cause was that the soldiers of the Zhang family snatched the drinking water of the Hemu soldiers, and the soldiers of the Hemu tribe did not report it afterwards, and they did it privately, both sides were at fault, according to the law, each of them was responsible for twenty rods. Ye Gucheng didn't seem to see Zhang Yueli's face, stared coldly at the dozens of soldiers lying on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Let me ask you, do you accept it or not?"
"Lord of the city, we are not convinced, the Hemu clan is a subordinate clan soldier, and their status is low, how can we compare with our Zhang family. A family soldier looked angry and struggled to refute.
"Lord of the city, we are not convinced, the soldiers of the Zhang family are arrogant and rude, they have been oppressing us, we are just forced to resist, we are not guilty. The Hemu soldiers also protested.
Hearing this, Ye Gucheng's face was cold, and he reprimanded angrily: "If you don't repent, the sin will be increased by one degree, and the rod will be punished for thirty years, and the execution will be carried out." β
The Xuanyuan soldiers suddenly raised their sticks and fell, causing dozens of soldiers to scream and shout in disbelief.
Zhang Yueli couldn't hold back any longer, pointed at Ye Gucheng and scolded: "Ye Gucheng, you dare to turn the noble and lowly upside down, don't say that the soldiers of our clan are just robbing the water of these lowly clans, even if they are killed, what does it matter? Have you forgotten, if it weren't for the recommendation of our clan, how could you be the lord of the city? Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge like this, aren't you afraid of the soldiers being cold?"
"General Zhang, it's serious, don't forget your identity, do you want to rebel?" Ye Gucheng's eyes flashed with murder.
"Ye Gucheng, you are really majestic, you are afraid of the battle in front of the mouth of the snake valley, but you are making things difficult for our soldiers in every way, and now you are buttoning me up with a high hat, what do you want?"
"General Zhang, pay attention to your words, if it weren't for Ling Zun's face, do you think I would be able to tolerate you so far?"
"Yo, you still want to kill me?"
Seeing the city lord and General Zhang facing each other-for-tat, all the soldiers couldn't help but look at each other, even the soldiers in the execution couldn't help but stop.
"Who told you to stop? Beat me, beat me to death. β
When the executioner heard Ye Gucheng's violent roar, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly raised the wooden stick.
"Who dares to do it?" Zhang Yueli stepped forward, held the hilt of the sword with her jade hand, and said coldly: "My clan soldiers are not your turn to practice, come and take the clansmen away." β
Hearing this, dozens of soldiers from the Zhang family quickly came out of the ranks.
"Bold, Zhang Yueli, do you dare to disobey the order of the city lord? Do you really see that there is no one in our clan? The generals will listen to the order, whoever dares to take away the prisoner will be killed. "Xuanyuan Wuji couldn't stand it anymore, and preempted Ye Gucheng to make trouble.
"Yes!"
The Xuanyuan warriors quickly came out and stood in front of the Zhang family.
At this moment, the city soldiers composed of various affiliated tribes were completely stunned, and they didn't know where to go in such a situation.
The Montenegrin scouts saw the enemy army actually fighting in the civil unrest, and the scene became more and more uncontrollable, and they looked at each other and saw a glimmer of joy in each other's eyes.
Ye Gucheng's fists clenched tighter and tighter, and suddenly, his hands loosened, and he said slowly: "General Xuanyuan, stand down." β
"Obey!" Xuanyuan Wuji glared at Zhang Yueli fiercely, and waved his hand to signal the clansmen to retreat into the ranks.
Zhang Yueli raised her eyebrows and shouted, "Why are you still stunned? Bring the clansmen back." β
The dozens of Zhang family soldiers who were standing in a daze trembled slightly, and quickly went up to help the tortured clansmen away.
Ye Gucheng didn't stop it, just looked at Zhang Yueli coldly, and said in a deep voice: "General Zhang, do you know the consequences of doing this?"
"The consequences?" Zhang Yueli smiled indifferently and turned around suddenly. "Ye Gucheng, I, Zhang Yueli, have never been afraid of any consequences, the Montenegrin clan, you go by yourself, our Zhang family will not accompany you, the Zhang family will listen to the order and withdraw to the new city. β
"Zhang Yueli. Ye Gucheng was furious, his eyes turned black, and he fell to the ground with a bang.
"Lord of the Castle!"
"Oh no, the city lord has fainted, come on!"
The generals suddenly became in a hurry, and they could no longer take care of Zhang Yueli, who was leading the troops away.
