Chapter 953: Heavy losses
Since Chen Ziying never showed up, Piao Piao never found a chance to deal with him.
Xiao Chen smiled and said: "There will always be opportunities, don't worry, it will be a long time in the future,"
"I know, but the surnamed Chen hides in the middle of the team all day long, letting his subordinates do everything, sneaky," she said a little unhappily, "The main thing is that I don't know if he is planning a conspiracy against the two of us, and I can't know each other, this feeling is really bad,"
"It doesn't matter, he can hide for a day, can he hide for a lifetime," Xiao Chen said indifferently,
The team continued to move forward, and soon passed through the center of the Huangming Forest, heading towards the end of the Netherworld,
On the way, the older people talked a lot about the netherworld, and some of them had participated in several encirclement and suppression operations, so they could be described as experienced.
According to them, the enemy itself is not terrible, because the cultivation conditions are not as good as the Emperor Extreme Realm, the level of those people is not very high, when it comes to fighting alone, the people of the Emperor Extreme Realm have an advantage,
But it is precisely because of the harsh environment of the netherworld that the enemy who occupies a geographical advantage can launch an endless stream of attacks, which makes people unguardable.
"The last time I entered the Netherworld, several of my companions died under the enemy's sneak attack," the old soul warrior said with tears in his eyes: "If it is an upright battle, the enemy is not an opponent at all, but they are too cunning, and we have no chance to fight head-on, after arriving in the Netherworld, the most important thing is to fight twelve points of spirit, any one of them is not careful, he may suffer from the enemy's sneak attack, and he will die,"
Xiao Chen frowned and said, "This time our team has more than seven thousand, if the enemy only uses a sneak attack, I'm afraid he won't be able to take advantage,"
The old soul warrior said: "Don't have the idea of underestimating the enemy, every time we enter the underworld, it is a team of thousands of people, I don't know how many times we have suffered the loss of the enemy, you young people, you will soon know the insidiousness of the enemy, the most important thing in fighting a war is not how many enemies you can kill, but how to save your life, only by living, can you do more,"
The young people all nodded thoughtfully, and they all put away the idea of despising the enemy,
Piao Piao tugged at Xiao Chen's sleeve and said, "There are so many of us going to the Netherworld, it's impossible for the other party not to know,"
He also wanted to know the answer, so he continued to ask questions to the old soul man,
"Under normal circumstances, the enemy will not know, and if the scattered enemy is found in the Imperial Underworld Forest, there is no need to worry too much," the old man replied, "The Netherworld is a scattered sand, and if you don't have the ability to organize an equal number of troops to resist, at least it won't be possible in a short time,"
Xiao Chen's brows furrowed even deeper: "That is to say, our main combat targets are some stragglers, how much success can we achieve by killing the past in such a mighty way,"
The old soul warrior said earnestly: "Young man, don't underestimate those stragglers who were killed by us, if you don't often go to the Netherworld to suppress, it won't take long for them to have the strength to compete with the Emperor Extreme Realm, those guys who are on the sidelines will treat us as great enemies when they are born, once they accumulate enough strength, it will be a devastating blow to the Emperor Extreme Realm,"
Xiao Chen nodded: "I understand,"
Someone in front shouted: "All detachments, please pay attention, if you go twenty miles further, you will be out of the forest, with the Ouyang family as the center, gradually shrinking the formation,"
When marching in the Imperial Forest, the team adopts a relatively scattered formation, which has the advantage of finding the beasts that can be attacked in time to ensure the safety of most people.
Before leaving the forest, the formation was reduced in order to concentrate the forces and deal with the enemy's sneak attack.
Yun Zhan opened his mouth and said: "Everyone do what is ordered, our position is the right rear of the team, we must keep our eyes open after leaving the forest, do you remember it?"
"Understood,"
Half an hour later, the team began to leave the woods one after another,
There was an indescribable stench in the air, mixed with the smell of burning sulfur, the gray sky, the lightning that pierced the sky from time to time, and the rugged terrain appeared before everyone's eyes.
The terrain of the Netherworld is very complex, mainly mountains and the Gobi, with few vegetation, few rivers, and unusually dry air.
The Ouyang family, who was at the forefront, gave the order: "All detachments, keep the formation forward, don't panic when you encounter the enemy, and destroy them with superior forces,"
A few minutes later, there was a roar on both wings of the team,
The experienced people immediately shouted: "It's a hidden arrow, raise a shield to defend,"
Everyone hurriedly raised their shields, and the slow-moving people were already hit by arrows, and the screams came and went.
Xiao Chen, Piao Piao and Yun Xue were holding a large shield, and the three of them connected the shields together, forming a ridge to block all the dark arrows shot from different directions.
"Brother Chen, what kind of arrow is this, the strength is very strong," the little junior sister complained, and there were already four or five arrows hitting his shield, so that the arm holding the shield was numb,
Piao Piao replied, "It's a god-destroying arrow, shot by a very strong crossbow, which can easily penetrate the body of a soul warrior of about five grades,"
"No wonder it's so powerful, fortunately, we have a shield," the little junior sister hurriedly changed hands,
Xiao Chenhu said suspiciously: "That's not right,"
"What's wrong," Piao Piao asked rhetorically,
He said: "There are a lot of dark arrows, and it is preliminarily judged that our left and right wings, each side has at least hundreds of machine crossbows in ambush, doesn't it mean that the Netherworld is a plate of scattered sand, how could such an attack be organized, and we have just come out of the forest, it is obvious that this is an ambush method, just waiting for us to appear,"
"You mean, we're in an enemy ambush," Piao Piao frowned,
"Apparently this is the case, the enemy has been prepared," he said in a deep voice.
The little junior sister couldn't quite understand their conversation, and said, "It's okay, there are many of us, and the head of the Ouyang family is also a qualified commander, so it's not a problem to get through a small difficulty,"
As soon as her words fell, Ouyang Tongfu's voice came from the front: "The left wing Baihua Valley and Songfengling detachments attacked, the right wing Lianyunbao, Jinghangzhai, and Sixiangshan detachments attacked, and the rest of the detachments maintained their formation and continued to advance,"
"The Hundred Flowers Valley detachment obeys orders,"
"The Songfeng Ridge detachment obeyed orders,"
"Lianyunbao ......"
“......”
The five detachments rushed out and rushed towards the left and right flanks, and soon the sound of weapons clashing and shouting was heard.
It is not difficult to judge from the sound that the enemy has a numerical advantage, and at the same time occupies a geographical advantage, and the attacking troops cannot take advantage,
Ouyang Tongfu's face became ugly, and he ordered again: "Listen to Tao Pavilion, Wuji Sect, and Jin Yulou to support the left wing, and Shangwu Hall and Wind Thunder Hall to reinforce the right wing, immediately,"
Yun Zhan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice to the more than four hundred and twenty people behind him: "It's our turn, remember to be brave, but don't rush forward blindly, you must keep in formation, don't panic when you encounter the enemy, and overwhelm them with numerical superiority,"
"Understood,"
Although reinforcements were sent, the situation was still not reversed.
Ouyang Tongfu ordered for the third time: "The Ouyang family is divided into two teams, I will take five hundred people to the left wing, Wei Yi, you and Sirui will take five hundred people to the right wing, and the people of Tianxiao Heights will stay and sweep the formation, if there is an enemy in the front, you must block it,"
