The next day, the scouts who had gone to investigate the Holy Fire Cult returned, and at the same time brought the news that the Holy Fire Cult had sent troops as promised.

This time, Ye Gucheng finally felt a little at ease, but even so, he still chose to let the scout continue to investigate and make sure that the Holy Fire Sect had penetrated into the hinterland of the Black Mountain Clan before reporting it.

In this regard, Zhang Yueli was puzzled, and he didn't know why Ye Gucheng paid so much attention to this allied army, but every time he mentioned it, the other party always avoided talking about it.

Of course, what really dissatisfied Zhang Yueli was that Ye Gucheng was marching slowly along the way, and a lot of time, he always took Xuanyuan Xiu to the mountains and rivers, where is this to fight, it is clearly to play!

In this regard, Zhang Yueli, who was angry, and Xuanyuan Wuji unanimously admonished, asking to speed up the pace of the march and quickly break through the territory of the Black Mountain Clan, because according to the alliance agreement, whoever attacked the territory will own it, and such a delay is not a waste of the territory included in the territory, but Ye Gucheng can't argue, so he can only be angry.

In fact, it was not that Ye Gucheng didn't want to march quickly, but he always felt that the Holy Fire Sect had bad intentions, and this march was not as simple as he imagined!

As a sales elite, what you are best at is to analyze the interests and speculate on people's hearts.

Since the Holy Fire Sect has the ability to destroy the Black Mountain Clan alone, how can it be possible for them to come to negotiate an alliance? Don't say anything, I'm afraid that Xincheng will send troops to take the opportunity to encroach on it, those old antiques believe it, but he doesn't believe it!

To put it bluntly, if it hadn't been for the Holy Fire Sect's arrival this time, he wouldn't have known anything about what was going on in the outside world! Moreover, it was unlikely that the real person in charge would have come forward until he had found out the details! But after the first negotiation, the Holy Fire Sect leader was actually willing to come in danger alone! If he was not very sincere, I am afraid that he had other plans!

He had also raised these doubts with Zhang Tao and Xuanyuan Zhuo in the conference hall, but both sides said that the Holy Fire Sect swore in the name of the clan god that they would never break the contract.

Ye Gucheng is an atheist, so he doesn't believe in any so-called oaths! People in the civilized world often betray their promises, not to mention this era of cold weapons!

Soon, the scouts who were monitoring the Holy Fire Sect came to report again that the Holy Fire Sect had entered the territory of the Black Mountain Clan, and Ye Gucheng was completely relieved about this.

The pace of the march began to pick up.

As they entered the territory of the Black Mountain Clan, they saw broken villages and tribes everywhere, piled up with blackened corpses.

"Whenever the Montenegrin relinquishes territory, they must first kill it or drive out its subordinate tribes, in order to prevent these tribes from rebelling. "Zhang Hao has been fighting against the Montenegrin tribe all year round, so he naturally understands the customs of this race.

Ye Gucheng's hand was clenched very tightly, because of extreme anger, his whole body trembled slightly, many of these bones belonged to children.

He couldn't understand what kind of person would do such a conscientious thing, and at this moment, he had decided to completely erase this inhuman race from this continent.

Soon, a scout will report that ahead of them is the first line of defense they have to face - the island!

The island is a huge rocky cliff, surrounded by cliffs on all sides, and only a slender natural passage runs straight through the connection between the cliffs!

The formation of this mountain road once again refreshes the cognition of Ye Gucheng, extending from the valley floor all the way up, cleverly crossing the isolated island and the mountains.

The most incredible thing is that the mountain road itself is very narrow, only able to accommodate four people walking side by side, and there are thousands of abysses on both sides of the mountain road, under normal circumstances, such a mountain road would have collapsed long ago!

In order to prevent the grass from startling the snakes, Ye Gucheng stationed the army in the mountains hundreds of meters away, and only took Xuanyuanxiu and several guards to hide in the forest to investigate, but, in the face of this fortress-like natural danger, he led Xuanyuanxiu back to the handsome tent with a heavy heart.

"See the lord of the castle!"

When the generals saw Ye Gucheng and others enter the tent, they stopped talking and saluted.

Because the soldiers came from different tribes, and each tribe had its own salute posture, Ye Gucheng was dazzled, and the special general salute was changed to a fist and bowed, and at the same time, the titles of each official rank were also unified according to the official titles of the Qin Dynasty, although many tribal officials opposed it at first, but at his insistence, the generals could only obey.

"The congregation will be exempt. Ye Gucheng walked to the sand table, and according to his memory, he drew the general appearance of Tongtian Rock and the distribution of defenses.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the current situation is not optimistic, and there are two main reasons: First, our army does not know the situation of the defenders of the isolated island, and the number of troops is completely unknown. Second, and most importantly, if we want to capture the isolated island, we must pass through this passage, but this damn passage is too long, about 1,000 meters in visual inspection, and it cannot accommodate the cavalry to charge and kill, let alone the infantry! Moreover, the most lethal thing is that once we attack, we must fight quickly, otherwise it will drag on for a long time, and the situation will be even more unfavorable to us as soon as the enemy's reinforcements arrive, so I would like to listen to the opinions of the officers and men of the audience. For the first time, Ye Gucheng felt helpless.

Zhang Yueli looked at the small passage in the sand table, and said in a deep voice: "I have discussed with General Xuanyuan, and we agreed that we can only send cavalry to quickly assault and kill the enemy archers, and our infantry can pass quickly, otherwise, there is nothing to do." ”

In this way, the cavalry will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and the narrow mountain road can accommodate at most two war horses to charge at the same time, once the front is blocked, I am afraid that the cavalry will either die from random arrows or fall into the abyss. Ye Gucheng's concerns are also very reasonable.

"I know that this move is too costly, but our army has no choice! If we let the infantry go up, I am afraid that there will be no chance to break through the enemy's defenses at all. "It's not that Zhang Yueli hasn't thought about these issues.

This is a dead end! However, there is no life in the dead end!

As if thinking of something, Ye Gucheng unconsciously rubbed his two fingers and stopped, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said indifferently: "Just use infantry." ”

"Infantry?"

The crowd couldn't help but be stunned.

"Yes!

A few days later, there was no moon.

The earth seemed to be shrouded in eternal darkness.

In the forest, tens of thousands of troops held their breath and stared closely at the hundreds of soldiers who were crawling forward.

The main task of these soldiers is to infiltrate and eliminate enemy patrols while it is dark, so that the army can quickly pass through and attack the enemy camp.

Black Mountain Cliff, where the headquarters of the Montenegrin clan is located.

Night, extremely dark, under the faint line of sight, a brisk pace stepped on the branches and leaves, and after a line of sight, he came to an isolated man, knelt on the ground and bowed: "Young Master Qiqi, I have sent someone to the isolated island, I believe that I have arrived on the island at this moment." ”

The man smiled indifferently, turned around slowly, and said, "Get up!"

Hearing this, the visitor quickly got up and stood aside respectfully.

"Tonight, it's been a great day!"

The visitor seemed puzzled, hesitated for a moment, and asked softly: "The subordinates are unknown, the young master has always secretly helped Xincheng, why do you want to defect again?"

The man's eyes were cold for no reason, and he said indifferently: "If you shouldn't ask, don't ask! ”

The comer's expression changed, and he hurriedly knelt down and said, "The subordinates are guilty, please punish the young master." ”

"Where is the Holy Fire Cult?"

"Returning to the young master, we are passing through the Angry Wind Canyon, and it is expected that we will attack Tiger Roaring Mountain in three days. ”

Tiger Roaring Mountain, the number one warrior of Ba Wuji, Yin Kawasaki guards! It seems that it is time to move him.

Thinking of this, the man said slowly: "Got it, let's go down! Remember, every carrier pigeon that flies from the isolated island will not be intercepted." ”

The visitor was slightly stunned, as if he couldn't understand the meaning of this move, since he wanted to help the Montenegrin clan defend the isolated island, why did he stop the isolated island's request for help?

Moreover, if most of the Black Mountain Clan's forces are led to the isolated island, the Black Mountain Cliff will inevitably be empty, and at that time, the Holy Fire Clan will be able to conquer it in one fell swoop, and there is no reason why the young master can't figure this out!

"What? Need me repeat that?"

When he came back to his senses, he suddenly felt sweating profusely and hurriedly agreed.

"Stand down. ”

"Yes!" the comer got up and walked away quickly.

Ye Gucheng! I'm curious! What will you do next! Are you as amazing as the rumors say!

In the darkness, the man's eyes were exceptionally bright, but what was hidden in them was chilling coldness.

It was cold, like an indistinct spell, instantly eroding Ye Gucheng's whole body, and in his violently open pupils, there was a red flower.

These torches came particularly suddenly, but they also fully illustrated that the defenders of the isolated island had long known that he would attack at night.

The soldiers exposed to the fire suddenly became invisible, and under several waves of arrows, they screamed to death, and of course, many were squeezed into the abyss.

Ye Gucheng clenched his fists tightly, allowing his fingertips to pierce into his skin, hundreds of elites, in the blink of an eye, the whole army was wiped out, he hated it so much! With a trace of blood dripping, he gritted his teeth and said, "Withdraw." ”

Inside the big tent.

Ye Gucheng stared at the soldiers tightly, and said in a deep voice: "I'm curious, how did the Black Mountain Clan know that we would attack at night tonight?

Hearing this, the generals' expressions changed for no reason, and they looked at each other, as if they wanted to see the clue from it.

"City Lord, if it is said that someone in the account has leaked secrets, I, Zhang Hao, am the first to disbelieve it, after all, those who can participate in the deliberations must be trustworthy people. ”

"City Lord, General Zhang is right, perhaps the defenders of the isolated island know that our army has arrived and set up defenses in advance. One of the generals also expressed his thoughts.

This kind of rhetoric has been unanimously agreed by the generals.

Of course, Ye Gucheng is the only exception.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this road of scouts has never stopped, if there are scouts on the isolated island, it will definitely not be able to escape our sight, besides, the night attack on us and others have been secretly planned for a long time, if it is not for the leakage of the news, it is unlikely that the Montenegrin clan will know about it at the first time. ”
