No one expected that the originally optimistic situation would become so heavy, and before that, they all held that as long as they joined up with the Buddhist monks in the two states of West and Mi, they could easily defeat the three major legions that were unaccustomed to the land and scattered military morale here, and let them flee from the two states.

Now, not only did the three major legions not escape, but they also brutally slaughtered the Buddhist monks in the western and Mi states in one fell swoop, and lost at least more than 100,000 Buddhist monks in this battle.

In addition to Yifeng and the others, there were also two Ten Thousand Monks and seven or eight important Thousand Monks who participated in this battle discussion, they were all the backbone of the Wind Roar Army, but they also knew what it meant.

In the battle of Qingping Town that day, only more than 20,000 Buddhist monks were killed, and in their opinion, they were already miserable, and now they have not seen the shadow of the three major legions, and they learned that more than 100,000 Buddhist monks were killed and injured under their hands.

Everyone can't imagine what a cruel and bloody scene it was, that canyon called "Mountain Dragon Mouth", there must be a river of blood, piled with the corpses of Buddhist monks, and I don't know how many dead souls have nowhere to take refuge tonight.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Liu Yi looked at the hanging map, pondered for a moment, and said:

"At this moment, the morale of the three major legions has been greatly boosted, especially the continuous retreat with the humiliation of fleeing before, now is the time for them to vent the grievances accumulated in their chests, they still have at least more than 100,000 combat strength, and we only have 20,000 people."

"No matter how you think about it, at this time we should retreat first, and when they can't catch up, we will join up with the Buddhist monks who have fled to us, regroup, and kill back."

At this time, hearing Liu Yi's words, the two ten thousand monks and several thousand monks all nodded.

Ichikaze's gaze swept over them, and then fixed on the fire monkey's face.

The fire monkey looked at the map, shook his head slightly, pointed to the map, and said slowly: "You don't have to run away. You see, from the mouth of the mountain dragon to us, it is also a divided mountain range, but there is also a canyon thirty miles away, why don't we treat others in the way of others, and also arrange ambushes on both sides of this canyon, and when the three major legions chase and kill, we will kill them. ”

"They don't know that we only have 20,000 men, and we can bluff while attacking them, scare them out, disturb them, and we will be able to inflict heavy damage on them!"

Xiao Fudie and several other thousand monks all nodded in agreement, but Liu Yi asked: "This plan is indeed good, but this canyon of 'other horses' is already nearly seventy miles away from the battlefield, will the three major legions chase and kill so far?" ”

Xiao Fudie said in a condensed voice: "At this time, the three major legions are trying their best to release the anger of being beaten all the time, and after the great victory of the mountain dragon mouth, I am afraid that they will not easily let go of the Buddhist Sangha, as long as there is still value in chasing, then they will definitely chase and kill to the end." ”

"This opportunity is very rare, it should be their deliberate plan, everyone knows, next time they want to play this kind of trick to get away with it, I'm afraid it won't be so easy."

Yifeng looked at Liu Yi at this time and said, "If we want to arrange according to the plan of the second senior brother, then can we arrive in time for these thirty miles and arrange them properly?" ”

Yifeng knew that most of the monks and soldiers of the Wind Roar Army were ordinary people, and they could not forcibly fly through the dense jungle to reach their destination like Liu Yi, they had to use their feet to walk over step by step, so they had to take into account the speed of the march.

In particular, the extremely fragmented and complex terrain is the biggest influencing factor.

Liu Yi pondered for a moment and said, "The terrain here is complicated, and the soil is soft and slippery, so if ordinary monks and soldiers are in a hurry, it will take two hours to arrive. ”

"Two hours? It's too slow. Yifeng's eyes flashed, and he said: "Now we are here to rescue the Buddhist monks in the two states of Ximi, and every time we delay for a moment, I don't know how many Buddhist monks die." This is different from the soldiers who died in the Dawu Legion, under the current large-scale extermination of the imperial court, there is no chance to re-recruit monks, the number of Buddhist monks will be one less than one death, our strength will be weaker, and if this continues, the stronger the enemy, the weaker I will be, and sooner or later we will have no power to resist. ”

Liu Yi suddenly knew in his heart that Yifeng was going to adopt the plan of the fire monkey and try his best to rescue the Buddhist Sangha, he thought for a while and said: "If we abandon the baggage in the rear and we go into battle lightly, we should be able to double the speed of the rapid march." ”

Hearing Liu Yi's words, Yifeng fell silent.

The baggage in the rear is of course important, but he thought of keeping the little senior sister in the rear to take care of it, in this situation, it is likely to have attracted the attention of the bandits here, what if the little senior sister can't take care of it, what if she is damaged?

Liu Yi saw through Yifeng's thoughts, he looked at Yifeng's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I know what you are thinking, but I have been in the army for a long time, and I often hear a sentence called 'Ren does not lead soldiers, and righteousness does not do Jia'. ”

Yifeng raised his eyes and looked at Liu Yi, his eyes lit up, as if he wanted to see him through, to see if the person who escorted the little senior sister all the way was sincere to her, especially when this kind of choice needs to be made, it can test a person's sincerity the most.

Liu Yi met his gaze, this was the first time he faced a wind with this mentality, and the complex meaning could only be understood by the two themselves.

Yifeng finally looked away, he looked at the fire monkey and the ten thousand monks and thousands of monks standing behind him, and his tone was firm: "Let's go!" Rescue the Southwest Buddhist monks! ”

This is the first regular operation since the establishment of the Wind Roar Army, and even under Liu Yi's dispatch, the monks and soldiers of the Wind Roar Army who received the order are inevitably a little flustered.

What's more, it is necessary to march rapidly through such complex mountainous terrain, which makes them feel uneasy when they lose their basic supplies and travel lightly for the first time.

But in the end, with Liu Yi's orderly coordination and the active cooperation of the fire monkeys, the army set off, heading southwest, aiming at the Bema Canyon.

Yifeng is the vanguard as usual, leading the army to attack, the fire monkey responds in the middle of the road, Liu Yi Palace, Xiaofu Die and Xuanluan, who will only appear at the critical moment, are supported by Yifeng.

After a tense and difficult trek, Ichikaze led the Wind Roar Army to finally reach the mouth of Bema Gorge, and after arriving here, he found that the real terrain and the map were really incomparable.

The canyon is wide, with undulating hills on both sides and steep mountains covered in jungle, but on either side of the canyon, the jungle gradually sparses and is replaced by low shrubs and tall weeds.

Liu Yi and Yifeng converged, and after looking at the terrain here, he said to Yifeng:

"There are two points in the terrain here that may seriously interfere with the battle, the first is that the mountain is too steep, and when the ambush troops rush down, they will inevitably be injured and will disrupt the rhythm of the attack. The second is that the trees are too dense, which will affect the judgment of the timing of the ambush, and there must be a person to go to the canyon to ambush and release the signal in time to facilitate our action. ”

Yifeng nodded, and looked back at a monk of ten thousand, his Dharma name is Hun Jian, and there is a scout group in the monk regiment under his command who is responsible for spying on intelligence and reconnoitering the battle situation.

He asked, "Senior Brother Hun Jian, how is the current situation in the southwest, and how far is the Buddhist Sangha in the two states of Ximi from us?" ”

Hun Jian saluted him and replied: "Buddha, just now a scout came to report that the Buddhist Sangha is still fifty miles away from us, and the soldiers of the three major legions behind are still chasing after us, and it seems that they are going to be wiped out. ”

Yifeng looked up at the sky, it was already ten minutes of dusk at this time, if it was night, then there were two uncertain factors, the first was to aggravate the uncertainty that affected the timing of the ambush attack just mentioned, and the second was that it was impossible to determine whether the three major armies would continue to pursue after nightfall.

The fire monkey looked at him from the side and said, "Yifeng, it's useless to think too much now, we have already arrived here, if the three major legions do not pursue after nightfall, then it will also be good news for the Buddhist monks in the two states of Ximi." If we are to chase, then our ambush will inevitably play a key role. ”

"It's just that we really need a clever person to go and wait in the canyon, and be nimble and sharp-eyed, and be able to give us a visible signal in time."

Yifeng nodded, and asked Hun Jian and another monk with the Dharma name Zhenwu, "Two senior brothers, do you have a suitable candidate under your command?" ”

Before they could reply, a voice came from next to them: "What else do you need to think about, isn't this my task?" ”

Everyone turned their heads to look, and Yifeng's eyes suddenly lit up.
