Chapter 956: Another Ambush
After the large army left, the three hundred people led by Shang Wutang and Ouyang Weiyi quietly left.
They quickly came to a place dozens of miles away from the Gray River Ridge, and made a detour to the exit to find out whether the enemy had set up an ambush.
On the way to the march, Ouyang Weiyi asked: "Brother Xiao, if there is really an ambush of the enemy over there, can we destroy them with our eight hundred people?"
In the previous battle, the enemy invested more than 4,000 troops, although the individual combat ability was not strong, but they carefully prepared strong crossbows and ballistas, plus occupied the terrain advantage, so they could win,
Not to mention four thousand, even if there are only two thousand, it should not be difficult to defeat an opponent with less than eight hundred.
Xiao Chen said with a smile: "The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, of course we are the ones who suffer, but now we are in the dark, they must not have imagined that we would divide our troops and go around their backs, and the sneak attackers must be very exciting,"
Hearing this, Ouyang Weiyi was completely relieved,
Thirty miles forward, his fluttering eyebrows suddenly wrinkled, and at the same time, Xiao Chen also sensed that danger was coming,
"In the southwest, there are quite a few people in ambush," Piao Piao said in a deep voice.
"The number of enemies is no less than ours," Xiao Chen stretched out his right hand and said loudly: "Everyone rest in place,"
This team is nominally led by Yun Zhan and Ouyang Weiyi, because the two of them are only looking forward to Xiao Chen, so he is the real leader.
The crowd stopped, some meditated on the spot to recover their souls, and some drank water and ate dry food.
"Brother Xiao, why are you resting in place," Ouyang Weiyi came over to inquire about the situation,
Xiao Chen didn't say the answer directly, but said: "The terrain ahead is becoming more and more complicated, and it is necessary to send a reconnaissance team to investigate,"
"Okay, I'll arrange the reconnaissance team right away," Ouyang Weiyi turned around and was about to leave,
"Brother Ouyang is not in a hurry, let me arrange this matter," he stopped Ouyang Weiyi with a smile and said, "Investigate such a trivial matter, let the disciples of Shangwutang do it, and your people should have a good rest,"
Soon, he sent six reconnaissance teams to carry out reconnaissance in a fan shape, deliberately avoiding the southwest,
In the dense forest, there are thousands of enemies hidden, and they use various camouflage to hide themselves tightly.
The leader wore a grimace mask, and the people around him whispered: "Lord Demon General, have we been discovered, otherwise how can the enemy stop?"
"Everyone is so well hidden, it shouldn't be discovered," said the grim-faced demon general: "Besides, their reconnaissance team did not come to our side, and the problem was also explained, informing all the soldiers that no one should expose the target, the enemy will sooner or later get into our ambush circle, and then everyone will be able to kill the enemy to their heart's content, this is a good opportunity to make a contribution, if anyone dares to spoil the big thing of this demon general, this will pick his skin and pull his tendons,"
"Yes,"
The ghost general's tone sounded a little gloomy, because he was wearing a mask and couldn't see his real face,
In the Netherworld, the soul warriors are divided into five levels, the highest is the Netherworld God King, who is the person with the highest boarding, followed by the four demon commanders, whose strength is above the sixth rank of the emperor, and then the demon general, only those who have more than five grades and a certain degree of leadership can serve,
These three levels are considered nobles in the netherworld,
The fourth in line is the school captain, who is served by the emperor and the third grade, and the last is the soldier Yong, that is, the pawn who can be bullied by anyone.
Two quarters of an hour later, six reconnaissance teams returned one after another, summing up what they had discovered.
Xiao Chen quickly made a choice and said, "Great Elder, Brother Ouyang, please give the order, everyone rush to the southeast as fast as possible,"
Ouyang Weiyi was stunned: "Southeast, the terrain over there looks very complicated, and it will save time to go to the southwest,"
Xiao Chen said honestly: "There is an ambush in the southwest, and the number of enemies is not below us, so everyone must leave here as quickly as possible, and leave here before the enemy gives up the ambush position to pursue us,"
"What, there is an ambush," Ouyang Weiyi was even more surprised: "We have just broken away from the main army, how can we encounter an ambush,"
Ximen Sirui was also taken aback: "Could it be that the traitor is in us people,"
"Impossible," Piao Piao shook his head and said, "From the moment the team set off, Chen explained that he had closely observed everyone, and no one had any abnormal behavior, let alone had the opportunity to pass information on the enemy,"
The little junior sister raised her hand and said, "I can also be sure of this, the surveillance task is undertaken by me and Sister Piaopiao,"
Ouyang Weiyi admired Xiao Chen even more, he could always think of things in front, but how to explain the things in front of him,
Could it be that the so-called mole speculation before was wrong,
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Don't be suspicious, there will always be a time when things will be clarified, and the most important thing now is to get out quickly,"
"Okay, Sirui, you will immediately explain to the people of the family, obey Brother Xiao's orders, and there must be no objections,"
"Yes, young master,"
The enemy's ambush location, the demon general said in an excited tone: "Everyone keep their eyes open, the enemy is coming, the reconnaissance just now will make them relax their vigilance, as long as they enter the ambush circle, I will be killed,"
"Understood,"
At the moment when his words fell, the team of eight hundred people moved,
But those people are not coming in one direction, but in the other direction.
The demon general was stunned at that time, what is the situation,
Eight hundred masters ran away, the scene was still spectacular, and in the blink of an eye, it completely disappeared in place.
Not only the demon general was dumbfounded, but a group of subordinates were also stupid and at a loss.
After a long while, someone cautiously asked, "Lord Demon General, the enemy has run away, are we still ambushing here?"
"You stupid, is there any point in continuing to ambush," the demon general reacted at this time, directly used the man as a punching bag, pointed to his nose and said: "You like ambushes very much, right, then stay here, you are not allowed to leave without the order of the general, why are you still stunned, hurry up and chase with the general, you can't let them run away,"
"But Lord Demon General, the other party has run away, and we can't catch up for a while, we are obviously in a good ambush, and their scouts have not come here, why are they discovered," someone else said,
The demon general took off the grimace mask, threw it on the ground, and said angrily: "I thought it was foolproof, but in the end I underestimated Xiao Chen's guy, I haven't seen him for more than a year, he is still so slippery, I should have thought that I couldn't use conventional methods to deal with him, and I regretted it,"
Without the cover of the mask, the demon general revealed his true face, which was a middle-aged man with grayish hair and a hideous expression on his face.
If Xiao Chen was present, he would definitely call out a name in surprise: "Dai Xiuqi,"
That's right, this person is Dai Xiuqi, the head of the Flame Sect of the South China Sea Islands, who entered the underworld through the undersea demon cave a year ago, successfully passed several rounds of cruel tests, and finally became a demon general.
And many of his subordinates were disciples of the South China Sea Sect at that time.
