Chapter 129: Before the Great War
Jiuqupo, only about ten miles away from Guangwang City, is the only way from Xinwang City to Guangwang City, and it is also the ambush site selected by the Emperor.
Nine curved slopes, winding almost a mile, the slope is a snake twist and turn, it is difficult to walk, and it is not suitable for the army to unfold, it was a good ambush point.
However, because the slope is too low, it is not easy to hide. Once someone passes by, it's easy to spot, making it not a great ambush spot.
On the Jiuqu Slope, Lin Xiao led a group of masters to stand down, and an army of 800 people stood neatly behind him. Hundreds of people had grim expressions and did not smile, and the solemn atmosphere of the battle was obvious.
This time the great war was different from the previous 'engagement' between the two countries, it was a battle of cultivators. Therefore, in such a big battle, ordinary sergeants could not play a role at all.
For this reason, Lin Xiao deliberately jumped out of the guards of Guangwang City and masters above the martial spirit to form this ambush army.
After some screening, the number of people was beyond Lin Xiao's expectations, and there were more than 800 people. Lin Xiao originally thought that it would be good to have a hundred such masters in a city.
Later, Lin Xiao found out. Today's Guangwang City Guards are no longer the Guangwang City Guards of the past, and the masters of several Wangcheng behind Guangwang City are all gathered in the army.
Today's Guangwang City Guards are concentrated in the four major royal city guards, and the masters in the four major cities are also an important part of the defense line of the Eastern Imperial Palace.
The masters are concentrated in the three cities, which is the purpose of the defense line of the Eastern Imperial Palace. Among them, not only the Martial Emperor and the Martial King, but also the Martial Marquis and the Martial Spirit were mobilized.
Although there are only 800 people, which is not much compared to the tens of thousands of Guangwang City guards, this is most of the combat strength of the Guangwang City guards.
In addition, the Black Guard, Jian Yi, Jian Yan, eighteen Martial Kings, and nine Martial Emperors, the combat power of this ambush army is already very strong.
With such a team, Lin Xiao's confidence has increased greatly.
Lin Xiao glanced at Jiuqu Slope and said suspiciously: "Why did you choose this place? This place is not suitable as an ambush point. ”
Although Lin Xiao has been in the army, he can also see the disadvantages of Jiuqupo at a glance.
Emperor Bo replied: "But this is the place where the aura is strongest outside the Guangwang City. ”
Seeing that Lin Xiao and the others were puzzled, the Emperor explained: "The Seven Killing Array is the most powerful killing array in Daxing, and this array needs to mobilize a large amount of spiritual energy to exert its power. If the aura is not good, the formation will collapse halfway. ”
Lin Xiao nodded.
After the emperor said this, Lin Xiao had nothing to say. Since it was for the sake of the Seven Killing Array, Lin Xiao would not interfere.
At this time, a figure suddenly appeared at the foot of the Jiuqu slope, the figure flickered, and within a while, this person came to Lin Xiao's side.
The person who came was dressed in a black robe, and he was a small captain of the Black Guard, named Black Dust.
Heichen came to Lin Xiao, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Report." ”
Lin Xiao didn't ask, and said directly: "Bring it." ”
Black Dust handed over a note, and then returned to the Black Guard to stand down.
Lin Xiao opened the note, glanced at the content of the note, and his expression suddenly became suspicious.
The Emperor asked, "What happened?"
Heichen was the person Lin Xiao had arranged to pick up Lin Mo earlier, and once Lin Mo had any news to spread, he would tell Lin Xiao through Heichen.
This page of note was 'handed over' by Lin Mo to Hei Chen, and it recorded what happened after he left Guangwang City and the situation of the four major forces supporting the army.
Lin Xiao didn't answer the Emperor, but said to himself: "Five middle-level Martial Emperors, three low-level Martial Emperors, how can this be?"
According to the note, after Lin Mo left Guangwang City, he rushed to Xinwang City. Consistent with Lin Xiaochai, before he rushed to Xinwang City, on the way, he encountered the reinforcements of the four major forces supporting Guangwang City.
This army numbered a thousand men, and at first glance, it was imposing.
At that moment, Lin Mo pretended to be in the desert and ran to the army.
With its appearance and aura, many of the four major forces present can sit for it, and Chu He naturally passed the level of identity verification.
Coupled with the fact that he was seriously injured, no one doubted him.
From the mouth of the Chu River, the commander of the army learned some of the circumstances in the previous battle of Guangwangcheng.
When he knew that the previous three hundred people were all defeated, and he was the only one left to leave Guangwang City alive, he was taken aback.
But after learning about the strength in Guangwang City, the commander immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Mo didn't lie, but told the situation of the masters in Guangwang City in one fell swoop. This is also Lin Xiao's order to visit the other party.
If the other party retreats in the face of difficulties, Lin Xiao is also happy to relax. The order Lin Xiao received was to take over Guangwang City, and the other Lin Xiao didn't care.
The two high-level Martial Emperors, the four middle-level Martial Emperors, and the three low-level Martial Emperors are very powerful lineups, but the commander does not take it seriously.
At that moment, Lin Mo began to inquire about the cultivation of the masters in the army. After many inquiries, the answer Lin Mo got turned out to be that there were only eight Martial Emperors among the thousand people, and none of these eight people were high-level Martial Emperors.
Lin Xiao didn't believe it at first, but after multiple verifications, this was the result, which made Lin Mo feel suspicious, and then sent the news to Lin Xiao.
Although Lin Xiao's muttering voice was small, all the people who could be here were masters, and naturally they all heard what Lin Xiao said.
Previously, Lin Xiao attached Chu He and was sent by Lin Xiao to listen to the news, and everyone naturally knew that the news of reinforcements was recorded on the piece of paper.
As soon as they got in touch, everyone immediately knew the meaning of Lin Xiao's words.
When Emperor Bo heard this, he laughed and said, "What? They only have this bit of strength, if this is the case, they don't need to use the Seven Killing Array at all. Kill the 'chickens' with a knife, and I can kill them with a 'chaotic' chop. ”
"What do you think?"
Lin Xiao ignored the Emperor, but looked at the Bottle King and asked.
The Bottle King had a solemn expression and said, "It's hard to say, it depends on whether the enemy knows about the previous battle of Guangwang City." ”
It's much easier to talk to smart people, and the words of the bottle king get straight to the heart of the matter every time. If Lin Xiao and Qin 'Lang' didn't have such a big hatred, Lin Xiao was very willing to become friends with him.
Lin Xiao nodded and said, "I know." Not only did the enemy know that these 300 people were all wiped out, but they even knew what masters there were in Guangwang City. ”
Lin Xiao said, the bottle king didn't think about it, and replied: "Then there must be fraud in this." ”
Lin Xiao nodded, and the Bottle King's opinion was the same as his. Knowing that there are so many masters in Guangwang City, the other party does not care, and dares to come here, the enemy army must have something to rely on.
After thinking about it for a long time, Lin Xiao said cautiously: "The Seven Killing Array must definitely be used, this group of people is definitely not simple." ”
After a little bit of the bottle king, the emperor also saw the killing intention, and nodded immediately.
Then, Lin Xiao turned around to face the army, and said sharply: "The enemy is only twenty miles away from us, and he will rush here soon, this time I am afraid that it will be a bloody battle, everyone must fight with all their might, and be sure to annihilate the enemy." Those who dare to steal the living will be killed. ”
The army replied, "Yes." ”
"All dispersed, and the heads of the various armies came to this vanguard. ”
After Lin Xiao's words, all of the 800 people, except for a few people, scattered and ambushed in a predetermined location.
When everyone gathered, Lin Xiao only said a few words: "We have to strike first." As soon as the enemy army appears, before they can spot us up close, you will lead your army into attack. ”
"Yes. ”
All were ordered to retreat.
Then, the Bottle King, the Bohuang and others all went down to prepare. On the Jiuqu Slope, there were only three people standing there, and these three people were Lin Xiao, Jian Yi, and Jian Yan.
Lin Xiao looked ahead, and after a long time, he sighed deeply: "I'm afraid this battle is only a bloody battle. ”
