Shi Ziling arranged for Wei Hu to be in charge of staying in the military camp, and he himself took Yu Wei, Yin Qi and others to lead 500 martial arts masters to explore the road overnight.

Li Xiaoyao has lost his mind since he was hit by Shi Ziling's soul ** in Yanzhao Pass, and he has no interest in anything like a walking corpse, but he is completely obedient to Shi Ziling's orders, and this time he also rushed to Black Dragon City with Shi Ziling's special attack division.

Shi Ziling considered that if he encountered the men and horses of Li Yuan's army, maybe Li Xiaoyao could come in handy, so he specially took him with him. Although Li Xiaoyao was mentally controlled, he still retained the strength of a first-class martial arts master, and Yu Wei Yin Qi and the others felt an indescribable strangeness in their hearts as they watched this famous Tongtian Sect Young Sect Master silently follow Shi Ziling's side.

The group of them carried out the longitudinal technique and galloped through the night, the speed was not much slower than that of horseback, and by midnight they were gradually approaching more than thirty miles away from Black Dragon City. Shi Ziling took Li Xiaoyao, Yin Qi, Yu Wei and others to the front of the team, and soon found that there would be some figures flickering near a forest in front of him from time to time.

This forest is still a long way from the next intersection that leads directly to Black Dragon City, and Shi Ziling estimated that these people were likely to be swimming sentry posts, and immediately signaled his subordinates to retreat quietly.

After everyone retreated to a hidden place to hide, Shi Ziling said to Yin Qi and Yu Wei: "It seems that there is a secret sentry ambush ahead, you wait here first, Li Xiaoyao and I will go over to check the situation, and when we figure out the situation ahead, we will come back to meet you." ”

Although their group of more than 500 people are all martial arts masters, the strongest of them are Shi Ziling and Li Xiaoyao. Everyone understood that these two masters would definitely be able to find out the situation ahead, so they immediately stayed where they were and waited, and by the way, they also took the opportunity to breathe and cultivate their spirits, so that they could cope with the next battle.

Shi Ziling said to Li Xiaoyao: "We will quietly go to find out the situation, if you find anything, you must tell me in time, but you are not allowed to act rashly without my order." ”

Li Xiaoyao replied expressionlessly: "Yes, we will quietly go to find out the situation, if there is anything found, I will tell you in time, but I can't act rashly without your order." ”

The two of them carried out the longitudinal technique and moved forward, encountering a lot of secret sentinels patrolling along the way, and obviously had entered the warning range of a certain army.

Due to their excellent skills, the two easily evaded the surveillance of these secret sentinels, and walked a short distance forward, and after turning the woods, they finally found that a large number of sergeants were stationed here on both sides of the road leading to Black Dragon City.

After some careful observation, Li Xiaoyao told Shi Ziling in a low voice that the men and horses here should be the direct troops of Li Zhun, the leader of the Blue Wolf Legion, and it seems that they have set up an ambush on this necessary road.

Once the outpost in front of them finds that the enemy is approaching, Li Zhun's men and horses will soon lay in ambush on the small slopes on both sides of the road, and as long as the enemy enters the ambush circle, they can immediately attack them in groups.

Shi Ziling was secretly frightened, thinking that it was fortunate that he did not rush in overnight in order to maintain the combat strength of the legion, otherwise this time it would really be more auspicious. It seems that there are as many as 30,000 people in ambush here, and Li Zhun, the commander of the Blue Wolf Legion, is personally commanded, and it is estimated that he must be the elite of Li Yuan's army. If you are caught off guard and fall into an ambush, even your own special attack division is afraid that you will suffer heavy losses.

Since this road is the closest and most direct road to Black Dragon City, if you want to avoid the ambush here, you have to go over the mountain and go around a large circle, which will take an extra day or two in vain. Shi Ziling thought about it, and finally decided to use Li Xiaoyao's special identity to win.

After thinking clearly about the countermeasures, Shi Ziling and Li Xiaoyao both returned and came to the hiding place of five hundred special attack masters. Shi Ziling said to Yu Wei: "There is an ambush of Li Zhun's 30,000 elite soldiers on the road leading to Black Dragon City in front, I want you to return to the camp immediately to inform Wei Hu of the situation, and ask him to rush in early as soon as possible according to the original plan." ”

Yu Wei was taken aback, and said in surprise: "There are 30,000 elite soldiers in front of you and you let Wei Hu lead the team to come, so ...... Isn't that a self-defeating trap?"

Shi Ziling said: "It's still early before dawn, I will take these five hundred people to find a way to let Li Zhun's ambush evacuate, you just have to inform Wei Hu." Of course, you should be careful when turning through the woods in front of you when you come, and if the enemy is ambushed and evacuated, I will have someone inform you from the other side of the woods. ”

"In case the ambush is still there, then our rescue of Xiahou Yuan this time will have to end here, and you can let Wei Hu take the team behind him back to Yanzhao Pass to find Ma Yu. ”

Yu Wei was shocked: "You only take 500 people to deal with Li Zhun's 30,000 elite soldiers? No, I'll go with you, or everyone will go back, don't save Xiahou Yuan!"

Shi Ziling said: "I am going to use Li Xiaoyao's identity to trick Li Zhun into withdrawing from the ambush, and I am not going to fight with five hundred people, if it is not successful, it will be easier for me to get out with five hundred martial arts masters, but we will definitely fail to rescue Xiahou Yuan this time." Now that time is pressing, what are you messing around!

Yu Wei only then understood a little, it turned out that Shi Ziling was going to repeat the old tricks, and once again dismantle the ambush in front of him without blood. He was very confident in Shi Ziling's set, and hurriedly said: "I see, you can make it clear, I'm scared to death! I'll go and inform Wei Hu, you must be careful!"

After Yu Wei left, Shi Ziling pulled Li Xiaoyao aside and instructed him carefully, and then set off with five hundred special attackers. However, this time they did not hide, but deliberately swaggered down the main road, and were soon discovered by the secret sentry swimming and patrolling in front.

Li Zhun was dozing off in the improvised camp, the progress of the front line in the past few days was not good, and he was also very anxious, but Li Yuan ordered him to set up an ambush here early, and did not let him participate in the battle against Xiahou Yuan at all, he could only be anxious and helpless.

In Li Zhun's mind, there is no need to set up an ambush here so early, not to mention that Yanzhao Pass is guarded by 50,000 elite soldiers led by Li Xiaoyao, and the possibility of being broken is extremely small, even if Yanzhao Pass is really lost, it is impossible for Shi Ziling to rush to Black Dragon City so quickly.

Sure enough, eight days have passed, although Li Zhun has sent many swimming secret sentinels to patrol the front every day, he has not even seen half of the enemy's shadow, and his soldiers have gradually complained, and everyone thinks that there will be no enemy troops to rescue Black Dragon City at all.

Although Li Zhun thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to disobey Li Yuan's military orders, so he had to send people to inquire about the news of the front line from time to time, hoping that the front could take Black Dragon City as soon as possible, so that they could return to the west to deal with Shiziling.

At this time, Li Zhun was dozing off boredly, and suddenly a subordinate from outside came in to tell him, saying that the young sect leader Li Xiaoyao came late at night with five hundred followers, and it seemed that he had something important to go to see Tongtian Sect leader Li Yuan.

When Li Zhun heard that Li Xiaoyao had suddenly arrived here, he was taken aback, and he didn't understand that Li Xiaoyao was not guarding Yanzhao Pass, so what did he suddenly come here to do overnight? Could it be that something really happened to Yan Zhaoguan?

He immediately walked out of the tent with a few personal soldiers, and sure enough, he saw Li Xiaoyao coming here with five hundred followers.

As soon as he saw Li Zhun, Li Xiaoyao walked forward quickly and saluted: "Third uncle, it turns out that you are leading the team here, judging by the situation, you seem to have set up an ambush, I don't know which way of people Lu Dao wants to deal with?"

Li Zhun said: "Of course, it's to deal with Shi Ziling! Doesn't it mean that Shi Ziling has already succeeded in sneaking up on Mijing City? The eldest brother is quite nervous about this, and he is deeply afraid that the Yan Zhao Pass that you are guarding will also be lost, so let me set up an ambush on this road early to prevent Shi Ziling from leading the army to raid. By the way, how did you come here, what happened to your Yan Zhao Pass?"

Li Xiaoyao said: "As the third uncle said, after Shi Ziling's sneak attack on Mijing City was successful, he immediately led the army north to take my Yanzhao Pass, but fortunately, I was well prepared and repaired the fortifications above and below the city tower as soon as possible, and finally kept the city alive for the time being." ”

"But now that Shi Ziling is besieging Yanzhao Pass continuously, and with the help of Nangong Xia's men and horses, if I only rely on my 50,000 elite soldiers to defend, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold out for too long. For this reason, I continued to fly pigeons to ask for help, but they were all like a stone sinking into the sea without a response, and as a last resort, I had to temporarily hand over Yan Zhaoguan to Li Feicheng, the master of the Heavenly Eagle Hall, to be in charge, and I personally led five hundred elite soldiers to ask my father for help, hoping to lead the rescuers back to deal with Shiziling as soon as possible. ”

Li Zhun was surprised: "We didn't receive your request for help, the eldest brother is still very worried that Yan Zhaoguan has been taken by Shi Ziling, and he repeatedly asked me to be more careful!"

"It turns out that Yanzhao Pass has not been lost yet, let me say, Yanzhao Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is the most dangerous pass in the northwest, how can it be so easy to be breached! Besides, there are 50,000 elite soldiers who are free of you, no matter how powerful Shiziling is, it is impossible to succeed so quickly. Okay now, I don't have to stay here anymore to ambush and ambush, let's go and tell the eldest brother tomorrow, and let him immediately divide a group of people to go back with you to deal with Shiziling. ”

Li Xiaoyao said: "Third uncle, although the city defense of Yanzhao Pass is strong, it is impossible to hold out for too long under the siege of Shiziling and Nangong Xia's coalition army, so I rushed over to move the rescue troops." I'm going to see my father now, hoping to get a reinforcement to fight back to Yanzhao Pass with me immediately. Li Zhun said: "It's okay, although it's midnight now, but the eldest brother has always rested very late, if he knows that Shi Ziling has not yet succeeded in Yan Zhao Pass, he will be very happy." You know that the recent war has been unfavorable, and the eldest brother must be very upset. ”

"The war is unfavorable?"

Li Xiaoyao asked expressionlessly, "Haven't we broken through Black Dragon City yet?"
