Chapter 352: Conspiracy
Among the main human camps, Lan Jiu sat cross-legged, and the huge and terrifying aura made several generals below stunned.
Although they heard that Lan Jiu had killed a demon king, they all thought that it was a team that had killed him, and it was only then that they finally realized that they seemed to be thinking wrong. However, the general surnamed Zhang spoke first, and asked tremblingly, "I don't know what General Lan's personal strength is now?"
Lan Jiu smiled slightly, and said in a low voice, "Strength is a thing, you can't say it... It's not easy to judge, but there is one point, the first level of the trial, I completed it alone!"
Although Lan Jiu didn't say it explicitly, the implication was also very clear, that is, with his personal strength, it would be easy to kill a demon clan king. As soon as these words came out, a kind of human general finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the situation seemed to be a lot clearer all of a sudden.
On the battlefield, the strong can always play a role that cannot be ignored, since they have Lan Jiu's strength as a backing, what else do they have to worry about?
However, at this moment, Lan Jiu spoke, "However, according to General Li's meaning, this second level, he hopes that we can use our own strength to complete... Therefore, until the last resort, I am only responsible for planning, and I will not make a move!"
If you think about it, this is the only way to make the most sense. Otherwise, with Lan Jiu's strength to kill the Demon Clan's king, wouldn't it be easy to capture the head of the enemy general in the big tent?
The corners of Lan Jiu's mouth were slightly raised, and the palm of his hand counted the time, and then asked in a low voice, "I don't know how the situation is on the front line?" According to the speed of the demon clan's march, it should have already stepped into the forest at this time and encountered an ambush by our crossbowmen, right?"
As the saying goes, one trick is eaten all over the world.
The strategy of defeating the Demon Clan's advance army was naturally beneficial in the eyes of Lan Jiu and the human race. Therefore, even if the army is pressing, their strategy and tactics have not changed much. The previous high ground was destroyed, but in the forest, there was more than this high ground, and in another place, the crossbowmen continued to lie in ambush, preparing for a new round of attacks.
This is, only to hear a general step forward, puzzled and said, "Our crossbowmen have long been ambushed, but the demon army has stopped outside the forest and has not come in for a long time... Our scouts still seem to see them carrying barrels, and they don't know what they're up to!"
After pausing for so long, Lan Jiu was slightly stunned, then his brows tightened, and his brain was also running rapidly.
Anchors, barrels, intrigue, forests.... Countless words quickly appeared and disappeared in his mind, and his mind entered a highly focused and focused personal world. This is a quality that a senior general must have, to be able to stand in the position of the enemy general and figure out the thoughts of the enemy army.
Just like at this moment, Lan Jiu connected these keywords together, restoring them little by little. If he is the great leader of the demon clan, what method do you want to use to break the trap of human beings at this moment?
Suddenly, Lan Jiu was startled, and a bad thought appeared in his heart. Hurriedly pinched the collar of the general's coat, and said solemnly, "Quickly call those crossbowmen back... Hurry!"
"Ah, what? Aren't you going to ambush those demon clans!" the Commander asked in confusion after a moment's pause.
Lan Jiu's eyes were a little red, and he scolded angrily, "There's no time to explain, go quickly!"
The commander was also startled, and he didn't ask any more questions at the moment, got up and flashed, and ran into the distance. Several other commanders also realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran out with him, and in an instant, the main camp that was originally lively was suddenly left with only Lan Jiu and San.
"General Lan, don't you know what's going on, why were you so excited just now?" asked the general surnamed Zhang.
Lan Jiu patted his chest and said helplessly, "Hopefully, it's that I'm thinking too much... Yes, it must be me thinking too much!"
didn't explain much, but the tense atmosphere made the rest of the generals on the side a little anxious, and the waiting time was extremely anxious. Finally, after a while, the commander who had gone out finally rushed back to the main hall, and said profusely, "Oh no, no! The demon clan actually ordered to set fire to the mountain, and now there is a raging fire in the forest!"
As the words fell, Lan Jiu's pupils contracted, and then he sat down. The mouth muttered weakly, "Sure enough!"
The commander was also stunned when he saw Lan Jiu's appearance, and hurriedly added, "Fortunately, General Lan is far-sighted... After all, the fire of the demon clan was still half a step slower, and when all of our people retreated to the edge of the forest, the flames in the sky really ignited, so there was no loss of personnel!"
Lan Jiu sighed and said, "Hey... I really didn't expect that the demon clan would dare to do it so resolutely, but it was a pity for that forest. After this fire, I'm afraid that the traps and plans we originally laid out will also disappear!"
The general surnamed Zhang stepped forward at this time and comforted, "That's fine, presumably the demon clan army will also be blocked by this fire outside the forest, and it won't be able to enter the mountain for a while!"
Lan Jiu's gaze became a little deep, and he said in a low voice, "Generals, how about accompanying Lan to take a look outside the tent?"
The words fell, and the bodies of several people gradually disappeared in place. Although Lan Jiu promised Li Xiaofeng not to participate in the war, it did not mean that in ordinary times, he could not use cultivation. The wind elemental, with the bodies of several generals, appeared on the city wall in the distance.
This front is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, otherwise, Li Xiaofeng would definitely not let Lan Jiu take 30,000 people and fight 100,000 people.
If the demon clan wants to attack the lower realm of the human race, it must first cross the jungle, the first line of heaven and the swampy land, and these natural advantages have helped the survival of the human race. Behind it is a vast plain, which will be chosen as an engagement zone if it is a close battle.
Crossing the war zone is the last and strongest line of defense of mankind.
The moat, a huge river, is a stagnant water, but if the demon clan wants to cross it, it will inevitably pay a heavy price. After the moat, there is the city wall, this dangerous pass, surrounded by mountains on three sides, so the height and solidity of this city wall are naturally not so easy to cross and crack.
And behind the city are 30,000 human soldiers.
Although the number of this army is small, there are all kinds of cavalry, crossbowmen, and infantry, and even recruit many cultivators.
And on the side of the generals, it is not bad, the general surnamed Zhang is a cultivator of the Yuanying Realm, and the rest of the generals are mainly Jindan, and the worst strength also has the strength of the late stage of foundation building. More importantly, their leadership ability should not be underestimated, and all of them are veteran generals who have experienced a lot of battles.
Lan Jiu stood on the highest point of the city wall, his deep gaze, like the bright moon and stars, sprinkled into the distance.
A light breeze blew, and his white robe swayed, and a strand of long silver-white hair was blown up. A sense of desolation inexplicably hit the hearts of the generals, and they realized that the responsibility and experience of the young man in front of him may be really too heavy.
At this time, Lan Jiu couldn't care about everyone's eyes. His brain was racing as he searched, looking for the best strategy and tactics.
Ignoring it, with a flash of inspiration, Lan Jiu only felt that his brain lit up all of a sudden. Hurriedly beckoned the generals beside him to come over, and quickly assigned this task, a kind of yang conspiracy taste, among the human generals, quietly rising.
The collision of conspiracy and conspiracy is also the leader of the two parties, the most gorgeous game.
On the other side of the line, in front of the raging fire, the demon army also did not dare to advance half a step. The Great Commander's gaze condensed slightly, and he whispered, "This fire is almost burned out, I don't know how many human crossbowmen have been buried?"
A demon clan elite beside him stepped forward and laughed wildly, "Haha, not to mention the annihilation of the entire army, at least it can be lost by half." They couldn't have imagined that we would be so clever as to come up with a clever plan to burn down the forest!"
Immediately, the demon clans behind him also heard a burst of smug laughter.
Finally, the red flame slowly dissipated. The terrible heat slowly returned to normal, and after a fire, the originally green forest was now shrouded in layers of carbon black.
"Okay, now that the fire is gone, it's time for us to continue our departure! Kill this group of humans earlier, and we can go back sooner, drink wine and eat meat!" The commander waved his palm, raised the military flag, and gave orders into the distance.
The orderly iron hooves stepped into the depleted forest.
In front of the first line of heaven, the army stopped again, but only heard a demon clan elite ask in a low voice, "Big brother, presumably this is the valley where the advance army was ambushed, shall we go in directly?"
But I saw that the Great Commander's gaze was slightly condensed, and he said lightly, "Hehe, that group of wastes said how terrible it is to ambush here, but after all, it is just a group of wastes." We are 80,000 people, but we are an elite army, why should we be afraid?"
After speaking, the Great Commander glanced at him, but saw a few demon clan leaders behind him take off into the air and rush directly towards the top of the sky.
Then, with a wave of his palm, the Great Commander did not hesitate at all, and walked towards the first line of heaven with the demon army.
Only this time, the boulder that had been ambushed did not come as expected. The corners of the Great Commander's mouth were slightly raised, and he nodded to the elite of the demon clan who were in the sky, and he was even more relieved at the moment. This trap, whether it is manually manipulated by humans or set automatically, he believes that these demon elites will help him deal with it.
A smug look flashed in his eyes, and he whispered softly, "Hehe, the advance army of 20,000 is really just a bunch of waste, what's so difficult about such a trap?"
It's just that his words are too soft, and no one else hears them, and gradually disappears into this line of heaven.
