Chapter 769: Counter-killing
After Yu Kai received Cheng Yang's advice, he immediately began to deploy.
First of all, the reconnaissance cavalry of all walks of life are distributed around, and they all have sound transmission jade talismans, and once they find an unexpected situation, they will convey the news to the headquarters as soon as possible.
Yu Kai himself undertook the reconnaissance task in the front, because it was easiest for the enemy to set up an ambush in the front.
However, Yu Kai and Liu Hao led the army and walked dozens of kilometers, and they didn't even see the shadow of the Hell Clan.
"Lao Yu, do you think this is the lord suspicious? The Hellfolk weren't prepared to ambush us. Liu Hao looked at the map, and the target they were about to attack was already sixty kilometers away.
Yu Kai smiled disappreciatively and said, "It's always right to be careful." ”
Suddenly, Yu Kai frowned, his face showed a look of surprise, and said, "It turns out that these hell people are waiting for us here!" These guys are cunning. ”
"What's wrong? Could it be that they are in ambush ahead? Can...... Aren't there just a few small hills ahead? There is simply no terrain suitable for ambushes. Liu Hao asked puzzled.
Yu Kai said: "They didn't plan to ambush at all, but hid people in the station we were going to attack, imagine it, if we still attack the city according to the previous steps, don't we break the bloodshed?" Moreover, the Hellfolk have laid an ambush on the outskirts of the garrison, and while I'm not sure what the purpose of that army is, it's certainly not good for us. ”
Liu Hao said dumbly: "These guys are too cunning, right?" We have not been attacked by the other side all this way, so naturally there will be no vigilance in our hearts, and the other side has ambushed the army in the garrison, which is indeed a great threat to us. ”
"Now that we have discovered the other party's purpose, they have no threat to us." Yu Kai said, "Haozi, why don't you go with Chu Qiang." Bring all the heavy shield orcs with you, and bring a group of instrumentalists to wipe out all those hell-people there. ”
Liu Hao nodded and said, "No problem, how many hell clansmen are there?" ”
Yu Kai said: "There are less than five thousand people, and the strength is only around the middle of the third order, and the strongest one is the middle of the fourth order. There should be no problem, right? ”
Liu Hao said: "Of course it's no problem, isn't there still a heavy shield orc." ”
Subsequently, Liu Hao contacted Chu Qiang and set off with nine heavy shield warriors, two thousand instrument masters, and some priests. In Liu Hao's hand, he held a scribbled map, which was drawn by Yu Kai. It marks the exact spot where the Hellclan ambushed.
And after Liu Hao left, Yu Kai slowed down slightly, and he wanted to leave enough time for Liu Hao.
……
Liu Hao hid all the way and rushed to the front, his speed was vividly played at this moment, it was Cheng Yang, and he was not much faster than Liu Hao in terms of speed.
The Hell Clan also laid a lot of eyeliner along the way, even if the purpose was to accurately grasp the whereabouts of the Luofeng City army. However, on the map in Liu Hao's hand, as long as it was on his marching route, any sentry was marked on it.
Even if the sentries move. Yu Kai's humanoid radar will also explain the situation to Liu Hao one by one, so that Liu Hao can destroy the enemy as soon as possible.
With Liu Hao's current combat strength, these sentinels with only third-order strength could not pose a threat to him at all.
All the sentries didn't even see Liu Hao's shadow, so they were restrained on the spot. Then comes a storm of attacks that drain its health.
Not long after, Liu Hao and Chu Qiang led the instrument master to quietly touch the top of the small mountain pass.
This is indeed just a small col, and the mountain packs on both sides are no more than 100 meters high. Instead of tall trees, small bushes grew inside.
In the bushes, strange-looking guys crouching one by one can be faintly seen. These are a branch of the Hellclan, the Shadow Fiend.
Shadow Demon is a kind of Hell Clan with a strong talent for rapid growth, although it is not as good as a war horse or something, but it is also two or three times stronger than an ordinary Hell Clan of the same level. The rarest thing is that Shadow Fiend has a racial talent, and that is stealth.
This talent is not strong, but it is also of great value if it is not strong. Depending on the Shadow Fiend's qualifications, its stealth duration ranges from five to ten seconds, and its cooldown time is up to 24 hours. It may seem like it's only a few seconds, but at some point, it's going to be incredibly powerful, like the Instrument Masters who attacked humans this time, and only these Shadow Fiends can come in handy.
However, Shadow Fiend also has a weakness, which is that its defense and HP are very low. Once entangled, the likelihood of death is very high.
Liu Hao and the others hid on the top of the mountain, observing the shadow demons below.
After a while, Liu Hao said: "Lao Chu, I will divide all the instrument divisions into two teams, and the other team will be sent to the opposite mountain bag. When we're ready, you lead those heavy shield orcs down to entangle the Hells, and we'll attack them from above. ”
"Okay, you go ahead and arrange it first." Chu Qiang said that although he needed to rush into the Hell Clan's army to fight for a while, he was not worried about anything.
His own defense is definitely the most powerful in the entire territory except for Cheng Yang, with those third-order hell clansmen below, it is impossible to pose a threat to them, the only thing that is a little troublesome is the small number of fourth-order shadow demons, but isn't there also a heavy shield orc, with the strength of the heavy shield orcs, killing those hell clansmen is not as simple as chopping vegetables and cutting melons?
Soon, Liu Hao arranged for the instrument master to complete the ambush on both sides, and Chu Qiang took the nine heavy shield orcs to pounce directly down the mountain.
Before they were halfway there, the Shadow Fiends had already spotted them.
For a while, the pot suddenly exploded in the small mountain col.
The Shadow Demon Leader was shocked by the creatures that appeared in front of him, as he discovered that they were actually a group of orcs.
How did the orcs come to Italy? Is God kidding?
What puzzled the Shadow Demon Commander the most was that he couldn't even see the depth of the strength of these orcs. Doesn't this mean that these orcs are stronger than him? He was a master in the middle of the fourth order, and he could be regarded as a strong man among the Shadow Demon clan.
Suddenly, the Shadow Demon Leader stared at him, and he found a diminutive creature in the midst of the group of orcs, similar in size to their Shadow Fiend, not at all as tall as those orcs. Shadow Fiend's first instinct was that it was supposed to be another orc of a different breed.
But soon the Shadow Demon Commander realized that this was not the case, and he vaguely felt that this small guy was the leader of this group of orcs, and that little man was not an orc. It's a human being.
Despite the fact that the opponent's equipment had wrapped him tightly, the Shadow Demon Commander sensed that the opponent was a human.
But now the Shadow Demon Commander didn't have time to think about it, he had to get rid of this group of damn guys as soon as possible, because just a few minutes ago, he had received an order from above, and the main army of Luofeng City had arrived about thirty kilometers away from them. As soon as the opponent enters the battlefield, they will rush out and kill the opponent's group of equipment masters.
Now that such a group of troublemakers have suddenly jumped out, if they don't get rid of them, I'm afraid the follow-up plan will not be able to proceed.
"Kill me! Not a single one is left. ”
"Kill me! Not a single one is left. ”
The previous sentence was shouted by the Shadow Demon Commander. The latter sentence was shouted by Chu Qiang, and the two sides burst out with the greatest anger as if they had an enmity against each other.
The speed advantage of the Shadow Demons was vividly reflected at this moment, and they swept towards Chu Qiang and those heavy shield orcs like dark lights and shadows.
How can the heavy shield orcs be easy to mess with? Although their growth in speed is not as good as that of these Shadow Demons, it can't withstand their high rank! In the middle of the fifth order, he completely threw off a few streets of these shadow demons, and if he really talked about speed, it was the shadow demon commander, and he could only eat dust behind these heavy shield warriors.
These heavy shield orcs have no weapons in their hands. Some only have that huge heavy shield, but with the physique and strength of these guys, that heavy shield is undoubtedly the best weapon.
At that moment, I saw these heavy shield orcs raise their shields and sweep towards the shadow demons who rushed up.
A terrible howl rang out. One by one, the emaciated shadow demons were shot out and struggled in the air, and before they could land on the ground, they had already lost their breath.
No Shadow Fiend could resist the heavy shield sweep of the orcs. Above the battlefield, shadows flew up and down, like a wind blowing through fallen leaves.
The Shadow Demon Commander also rushed forward. But he never expected these orcs to be so powerful, and at that moment, he had the urge to turn around and run away. It's not that the Shadow Demon Leader is afraid of death, it's that he wants to report this situation to the upper echelons of the Hell Clan, as this situation is not in the hands of the current higher-ups.
With such a big variable in this war, if the Hell Clan does not take precautions in advance, I am afraid that the ending will be tragic.
However, no sooner had the thought of him risen and his footsteps had just stopped, when a violent sound of breaking wind was heard, followed by even more terrible screams, including those of the Shadow Fiend's own command.
This was the instrument master who launched an attack, and with the incomparably powerful attack power of the instrument master, even this mid-fourth order shadow demon commander was also killed on the spot.
Thus began the massacre......
The crossbow bolts formed a dense network in the air, and all the shadow demons who entered the attack range were directly killed on the spot, and in just a few seconds, the huge shadow demon army had already been buried by one-third.
"We are surrounded, if you don't want to die, flee quickly, and we must report the situation here to the king." The Shadow Demon's lieutenant made the wisest decision, and some of the quicker Shadow Demons took stealth and prepared to flee.
However, the slaughter of crossbow arrows continued, and one by one the Shadow Demons were shot.
In the process, the vast majority of the dead Shadow Demons were killed, and a very small number of the remaining ones actually escaped.
Chu Qiang and Liu Hao were helpless about this, although they had already detected that the other party had stealth talent skills before, but after all, they couldn't guard against each other.
In order to prevent accidents, Liu Hao immediately led the instrument division to withdraw first, and at the same time informed Yu Kai to speed up the march, trying not to leave more time for the Hell Clan to respond.
After the call, Liu Hao let out a long breath, he got a good news that Cheng Yang had joined Yu Kai's main army at this moment.
The name Cheng Yang is like a reassuring pill, which makes the people lose their worries and are full of confidence in the next war.
……
After receiving the news that the Shadow Demon ambush army had been killed, the upper echelons of the Hell Clan were instantly furious, their first reaction was that there was a traitor among their clansmen, otherwise how could the other party find the location of the Shadow Demon ambush so accurately and kill them?
What makes these Hell Clan high-level people feel most suspicious is that they have planted so many sentry agents along the way, but the other party's thousands of troops have touched the vicinity of their own city, and they don't know anything, which is difficult to convince people if there is no spy to tell each other the location of the sentry.
For a moment, there was a gap in the upper echelons of the Hell Clan, and they were all wondering who had leaked this information.
The most angry person was the Prince of Hell, a powerhouse of the Hell Clan whose strength had reached the middle of the Fifth Order, who was sitting on a high position with a blue face at the moment, coldly looking at the subordinates below.
"Go check it out for me! It is necessary to figure out how the hell those humans know about our plans. The Prince of Hell spoke with a strong killing intent.
Beside the Prince of Hell, a strange guy covered in black mist spoke, "Your Excellency, now is not the time to investigate this, let's quickly think about how to deal with the next human army." ”
The Prince of Hell said in a deep voice: "What is there to think about, come and kill one by one, and kill one by two." Our great Hellland has never feared our enemies, and their bones are our greatest glory! ”
With the incendiary words of the Prince of Hell, the Hellclan below shouted, "Glory! Glory! ”
The voice of the black mist was as cold as ever, and he said, "Your Excellency, if we confront that human army like this, I am afraid that it will not be them who will be turned into bones, but us. ”
The Prince of Hell was like being splashed with a scoop of cold water on his head, but he had always trusted the other party immensely, so although he was dissatisfied, he still said, "Tell me your reasons!" What if there are a few powerful orcs on the other side? In our city, there are more than 30 clansmen above the fifth order, and it is not a problem to kill those orcs. ”
The black mist said: "Although those orcs are powerful, they will not affect the overall situation. But did the Lord have thought about it, since the other party already knew about the shadow demon we ambushed in advance, wouldn't it be possible to know the army we ambushed in this town? It's nothing else, but if Cheng Yang's guy joins the army in advance after learning about the situation, does the king think we can have a chance of winning this battle? ”
"This ......" The Prince of Hell was speechless, he wanted to refute what the black mist said, but he couldn't, because all of this could happen, and it was extremely likely. (To be continued.) )
