Shangguan Xiu's tactics were indeed very bold, with 1,000 people to sneak attack 20,000 people, and it was a sneak attack from 500 miles, Xu Rui, Wei Tian, Xiao Jue, and Wu Yufei looked at each other, and no one spoke, or they didn't think it was a rational decision.

Just looking at the silence of everyone, Shangguan Xiu guessed what they were thinking in their hearts. Wei Tian coughed low and said: "My lord, the task given to us by the county lord is to withstand the attack of the Ningnan army, even if it is only for three days, now that the Ningnan army has been forced to retreat by us, we have already completed the task assigned by the county lord very well, so why risk attacking again?"

Shangguan Xiu took a deep look at him and said: "Whether it is a minister in the court or a general in the army, just to complete the task is the practice of mediocre people, and the real pillars of talent will try to seek greater and more benefits while completing the task." Defending against an attack of 30,000 with 3,000 is nothing, throughout the ages, such examples are common, and defeating 30,000 with 3,000 is an astonishing feat, which can not only deter the Shah tribes, but also deter the Ningnan Imperial Court, so that the Ningnan army will not dare to rashly come to attack my Zhendi!" Speaking of this, Shangguan Xiu's eyes lit up, and his eagle eyes were beating with excitement, he glanced at the people left and right, and asked: "Now that the excellent opportunity is in front of us, don't you all want to fight for it?"

Xu Rui's blood was surging, and he said with a straight face: "Since joining the Shura Hall, the orders of the subordinates have been given to Brother Xiu, Brother Xiu said how to fight, and the subordinates will follow how to fight, go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, and the subordinates have no words!"

Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei nodded beside them, although the two of them did not speak, the expressions on their faces were very firm, and they were both willing to follow Shangguan Xiu to fight. Seeing the statements of the three of them, Shangguan Xiu smiled with relief, he turned his head to Wei Tian and said, "Old Wei, you are not from my Shura Hall, your task has also been completed, you don't have to go on an adventure with me in this battle, you just need to take your brothers to stay in Xibu Mountain." ”

Wei Tian raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "Can adults think that I, Wei, am greedy for life and afraid of death?"

Shangguan Xiu waved his hand and said, "I don't have this intention, I just think that there is no need for the brothers of Tongtianmen to go out with me to fight this uncertain battle!"

Wei Tian took a deep breath and said categorically: "As long as it is a battle for the country, none of the disciples under the Tongtianmen will escape from the battle, let alone those who are greedy for life and afraid of death!

Shangguan Xiu was waiting for Wei Tian's words, although Wei Tian and the others were only a dozen people, but all of them were superb cultivators of the dark lineage, and with the help of these dozen people, it was very important to win this battle.

He looked at Wei Tian, patted him on the shoulder again, and said meaningfully: "If this battle can be successful, we will go back to Xibu Mountain to drink all night!"

Wei Tian looked up and smiled, and arched his hand and said, "It is also a great blessing for us to be able to fight side by side with Lord Shangguan!" He said this not as a compliment, but from the bottom of his heart.

Shangguan Xiu fights, does not follow the rules, and has no tactics to speak of, it seems to be arbitrary, whimsical, but often unexpected, the enemy is caught off guard, and the capture of Tongyang is the best example, which turned the tide of the battle in Xibu Mountain in one fell swoop.

And this time, Shangguan Xiu used his unbridled imagination in military affairs, the retreat of the Ningnan army was obviously a narrow escape for the Feng army, and if people didn't come to fight them, they should burn high incense on Xibu Mountain, but Shangguan Xiu was good, and he wanted to take the initiative to attack the Ningnan army in turn.

In the next two days, the spies of the Feng Army continued to return to Xibu Mountain to report to Shangguan Xiu on the whereabouts of the Ningnan Army. As Shangguan Xiu expected, the Ningnan army really retreated to the territory of the Qixi clan.

In fact, this is not how accurate Shangguan Xiu's calculation is, the retreat of the Ningnan army must be to retreat in the direction of the Shah and Ningnan borders, and retreat five hundred miles in this direction, which is the territory of the Qixi tribe.

On the third day of the retreat of the Ningnan Army, Shangguan Xiu took the 1,000 Feng troops of Xibu Mountain to change into the military uniforms of the Ningnan Army, and quietly descended the mountain at night, and at the same time took Tong Yang, who was captured by him.

Before they left Xibu Mountain, Shangguan Xiu also made a series of arrangements, such as arranging a large number of straw men wearing the uniforms of the wind army around the top of the mountain, looking from a distance from the bottom of the mountain, there was no sign of the wind army on the mountain being reduced, and the mountain was still heavily guarded, mainly to deceive the spies of the Ningnan army lurking near Xibu Mountain.

The Ningnan army is an army of more than 20,000 people, which also has a large number of wounded soldiers, even if the large baggage is left at the foot of Xibu Mountain, but the speed of the march cannot be too fast, and the wind army is the real light armour, people only bring rations, there is no extra sundries on the body, to say that there is an inconvenience, that is, the steel armor of the Ningnan army is too heavy, so that the wind army that is used to wearing light leather armor is not very adaptable.

Don't look at the wind army left two days later than the Ningnan army, but the time when the two armies arrived at the territory of the Qixi tribe was about the same, the difference is that the Ningnan army arrived during the day and entered the bright light, while the wind army arrived at night and quietly infiltrated the territory of the Qixi tribe under the cover of night.

As Shangguan Xiu said, the military quality of the Ningnan army is extremely high, even if it is only a short camp, the camp of the Ningnan army is still well arranged.

The camp is based on pine trees that can be seen everywhere, and is divided into the middle camp, the front camp, the back camp, the left camp, and the right camp, and a large number of pine trees are cut down to build the wall of the camp.

Now the biggest headache for the Ningnan army is that there are too many wounded soldiers, seriously wounded soldiers plus lightly injured wounded soldiers, there are as many as two or three thousand, and now it is the height of summer, the weather is hot, there are many mosquitoes, and the wounds are easy to infect, and the medicine in the Ningnan army has been almost used.

For this reason, the Ningnan Army also specially sent people to the garrison of the Qixi tribe to buy medicinal materials from them.

The people of the Qixi tribe were not polite, and they asked for 10,000 taels of silver as soon as they opened their mouths. Although the soldiers of the Ningnan Army were depressed, in order to take care of their own wounded soldiers, they could only accept the lion of the Qixi tribe.

After several days of hurrying, the Ningnan army was exhausted, and after arranging the camp, the sky had already darkened, and the soldiers finished dinner and went to bed early to rest, and even Jiang Ting warned the soldiers that they needed to take advantage of this time to rest and recuperate, if Shangguan Xiu rebelled and did not release the general, they had to return to Xibu Mountain at any time and fight to the death with Shangguan Xiu.

Even Jiang Ting, a strategist, thinks that he is very safe in the territory of the Qixi tribe, the Qixi tribe only loves money, and will never dare to attack and disturb him, as for the Feng army, it is far away in Xibu Mountain, and it is impossible to come to the territory of the Qixi tribe.

This idea was generally shared by the whole Ningnan army, which also led to their big losses in the end.

Late that night, more than a thousand wind troops led by Shangguan Xiu silently infiltrated the territory of the Qixi clan. In this completely unfamiliar forest, there is no guide to guide the way, and the disciples of Tongtianmen play an important role.

They relied on the strange body methods of the secret cultivators, shuttled freely in the forest, and took the lead in approaching the vicinity of the Ningnan Army camp, finding out the path and the environment around the camp, and then returning one after another, leading the way for Shangguan Xiu and others.

Shangguan Xiu was walking forward when a Tongtianmen disciple came to him, pointed ahead, and said in a low voice: "My lord, go over the mountain in front, and in the col below the mountain, it is the camp of the Ningnan Army. ”

"How is the defense of the Ningnan Army battalion?"

"The defense is very lax, the enemy has only a few secret posts left around the camp, and no patrolling soldiers have been found!"

"Okay!" Shangguan Xiu nodded, turned back to Xu Rui and said, "Pass the order, let the brothers rest in place, and when it's ugly, we'll take action." ”

"Yes! Brother Xiu!" Xu Rui agreed and conveyed Shangguan Xiu's order.

The wind army of more than 1,000 people rested on the spot, simply nibbled on a few mouthfuls of dry food, and then fell to the ground and fell asleep. One of the advantages of Zhenjun people is that they can bear hardships and stand hard work, which is related to the harsh environment of Zhenjun, and the people who can survive in Zhenjun are the strongest group of people in Zhenjun.

Shangguan Xiu, Xu Rui, Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei, and Wei Tian sat together, and everyone ate a few dry foods, and then under the guidance of the disciples of Tongtianmen, they quietly climbed to the top of the mountain and looked down the mountain.

The camp of the Ningnan army mingled with the jungle of the mountain pass, and there were a few fires flashing in it.

Xu Rui stood beside Shangguan Xiu, looking at the big camp under the mountain, his palm kept on his body, and said: "Brother Xiu, the enemy's camp is in the forest, and it is not easy for us to storm it!"

As far as the eye can see, the dense woods are the best obstacle. If you want to win, you have to fight a speed war, but the dense woods will greatly hinder the speed of your attack.

Shangguan Xiu showed a thoughtful expression, and while he was pondering, the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of Xu Rui's hands rubbing against him, and he frowned and asked, "What's wrong with your hands?"

"It's okay, Brother Xiu, it's just stained with pine oil, slimy. Xu Rui said disappreciatively.

Shangguan Xiu said: "The Ningnan army really likes to camp in the forest. When they came to attack Xibu Mountain, they camped in the forest, and now that Tong Yang is not in the army, they retreat to the territory of the Qixi tribe and still camp in the forest. ”

Wei Tian answered: "It's hot, camping in the forest, you can escape the heat, presumably the people of Ningnan also think so." ”

"So, they're looking for death!" Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes, shook his head at a few people and said, "Let's go back!"

Shangguan Xiu led everyone down the mountain, and after returning to his own station, Shangguan Xiu leaned on a stone and sat down slowly, he was about to close his eyes and sleep, when a sneer suddenly came from the side, "Shangguan Xiu, are you so anxious to take your brothers to reincarnation?"
