Chapter 228: Ambush
Secluded Pass, a pass at the front of Douxue City, across the river from the demons. Standing on the city tower every morning, you can clearly see the training of those demon armies with their teeth and claws.
Here are stationed the most sophisticated soldiers in the border passes, who fight against the demon army all year round, almost every three days a small battle, five days a big battle.
Outside the pass, there are countless corpses buried, including soldiers of the Xia Kingdom and demon army.
For many years, the demon army has never given up.
They always want to cross here, capture Douxue City, and then lead a large number of sons into the Xia Kingdom, burn and loot on a large scale, and completely destroy this strong country.
But the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom, generation after generation, swore to guard here, protect the gate of the country, and never left a step.
Originally, the demons were desperate to attack the Xia Kingdom from here, and wanted to bypass here and march from the southern mountains, but in recent years, it seems that they have heard the news that the Xia Kingdom is incompetent and incompetent, and the appointment of traitors has gradually caused the Xia Kingdom to decline.
Thus, a new round of conspiracy began to be carried out again.
A large number of demon armies have gradually gathered here, harassing and provoking every day, wanting to make the soldiers defending the city tired, and waiting for the faint monarch in the capital of Xia Kingdom, who may listen to the rumors and replace the good news of Meng Yan.
After a long period of dormancy and quiet infiltration, it was only for a certain unpredictable day in the Xia Kingdom to suddenly erupt and take the border gate city that was vital to the Xia Kingdom in one fell swoop.
And to take Douxue City, the entire Xia Kingdom will be in the pocket of the demon race, and they will follow the flat avenue, like a bamboo, or slowly and leisurely eat.
The rich resources of the Xia Kingdom, the cultural treasures of the Xia Kingdom, as well as the flesh and blood of the men and the bodies of the women of the Xia Kingdom, are the most delicious food of their demon clan.
Therefore, they are always thinking about breaking through the secluded pass and occupying Douxue City.
In addition to the daily provocations and attacks on the surface, the demon army also sends several teams to bypass the secluded pass and explore from the towering snow-capped mountains and deep ancient forests next to it, hoping to find a shortcut through the secluded pass and the hidden passage behind it.
But many times, it is all in vain.
Those squads were either devoured by the natural environment and wild beasts, or assassinated by the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom Hidden Wolf Team who were hiding everywhere.
Very few people are able to reach the depths, or return.
However, the demon army never got tired of it and never gave up.
On this day, the sun has not yet come out, the weather is overcast, and the sky is still sprinkled with snowflakes, and there is a white expanse everywhere.
The Red Blood Demon Army, which was stationed closest to the Hidden Pass, had quietly dispatched two well-equipped demon armies at this time, and the troops were divided into two ways and marched towards the towering snow-capped mountains.
And the scouts who were distributed in front of the seclusion had already discovered them, and soon passed the news back.
Yuan Butong, the general of Youguan, personally ordered to send the soldiers of the Hidden Wolf Team to intercept one of them, and let the other one deliberately let them go.
Two days ago, Yuan Butong received the news that those civil and military recruits were going to come to the front to hone their training, and this other demon army was naturally handed over to them and asked them to try the results of their training.
These demon soldiers who came to send them to death are not very high in cultivation, except for the squad leader, the rest of the soldiers seem to be only demon cultivators.
It should not be difficult for those recruits to cooperate with Chinese martial arts and do them all.
What's more, Yuan Butong also secretly sent someone to stand by not far away, and if the situation was slightly wrong, he would go to the rescue.
This is the first time that the recruits have come out to fight the demon army, and almost all of them have not really seen the demon army, let alone know how they fight, so naturally they can't make mistakes.
Early in the morning, the people in the Xiuwen Barracks and the people in the Xiuwu Barracks met together, and under the leadership of Ren Tie and Wu Fan, another squad leader of the Youguan Hidden Wolf Team, they ambushed on the mountainside of the Snow Mountain.
Heavy snow falls here all year round, every day without stopping, the ground has long been covered with thick ice, the whole snow-capped mountain looks crystal clear, like a finely carved jade mountain.
And under the ice, there are many small animals and insects, as well as some extremely tenacious plants, and even many strange fruits.
Under the leadership of Wu Fan, Yang Ye and the others quickly used tools to dig a deep cave in the hidden place on the mountainside, and then dug a horizontal tunnel to dig out.
Everyone was ambushed below, and after only half a day's work, the original cave entrance was all sealed by heavy snow, and there was no trace of fresh snow falling on it.
Due to the barrier of ice, those demon armies who are good at smelling the breath of humans are not aware of the abnormalities below.
Staying in the cold and thick ice, those girls with delicate physiques had purple lips and shivered all over, but they didn't dare to use the qi in their bodies to resist.
Wu Fan said that the demon army is very sensitive to the breath of human beings, and it is naturally extremely familiar with the tone that once made them suffer a lot in battle.
A little bit of the horse's feet are exposed, and they are likely to fall short.
So, no matter how cold it is, how hard it is, they have to persevere.
"You are new recruits, you must feel comfortable when you first come here, and when you persist for a while and slowly get used to it, you will feel that it is actually much warmer down here than above. ”
Wu Fan looked at these frozen recruits who were struggling to endure it, his look as hard as steel, slowed down slightly, and explained in a low voice.
It was still early, and those demon armies were likely to have just come up the mountain, so he wanted to find some topics to relieve the nervousness and apprehension of these recruits.
Zhang Nannan's cheeks were red and cold, but his whole body was stiff, and he didn't dare to move, for fear of breaking the big thing.
At this time, seeing that this squad leader, who had just been silent and ruthless to the extreme, spoke up, she suddenly felt relieved, hurriedly stomped her feet and rubbed her hands, and said with a hint of complaint in her mouth: "Team Wu, the demon army has not come yet, you spoke earlier, I was frozen to death, but I couldn't move, and I almost stiffened into stone." ”
Wu Fan smiled when he heard this, glanced at the girls who were holding their breath and concentrating nervously, and said, "Let's move first, the movement is a little smaller, the demon army is still climbing the mountain at this time." We'll be notified when they're about to get here. ”
"Whew-"
When all the girls heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief and began to stomp their feet and rub their hands like Zhang Nannan.
Zhou Qi was also not lightly frozen, his hands were red, cold like ice cubes, and he couldn't avoid it at this time, baring his teeth and stuffing them to his chest.
And Jiao Heng's recruits who cultivated martial arts, because their physical fitness was much better than that of these cultivators, they obviously didn't need to use the vitality in their bodies to keep out the cold.
At this time, looking at the frozen faces and red ears and red noses of these cultivators, I couldn't help but gloat.
But no one dared to laugh at it.
Because the scene in Xiuwen's new barracks that day scared them a lot.
Yang Ye's identity and ruthless methods also made these proud young martial cultivators bow down and dare not be presumptuous in the slightest.
"Hey, Yang Ye, you are also a cultivator, aren't you cold?"
Seeing Yang Ye sitting there quietly with his eyes closed, seemingly not affected by the climate here at all, Zhang Nannan couldn't help but ask with a puzzled face.
Chen Yuxiang glanced at Yang Ye, and said angrily: "People are dignified marquis, what is this cold, even if you take off your clothes and sleep here for a few days and nights, it will not be a problem, how can we little people compare with others." ”
Speaking of this, she looked at Yang Ye, and said with a hint of ridicule on her face: "Am I right, Young Master Yang, Young Marquis Yang?"
Zhang Nannan glanced at her, and said with a puzzled face: "Yuxiang, why have you been getting more and more wrong in the past two days." Yang Ye doesn't seem to have offended you, why do you always taunt him in a weird way?"
"I'll tell you the truth, what's wrong, Zhang Nannan, are you little girl also fascinated by that bastard? You never helped him speak, why are you turning your elbow out now?"
Chen Yuxiang didn't know where the resentment came from, and stared at Zhang Nannan and said.
Zhang Nannan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm also telling the truth, you really wronged me when you said this." I don't really have the slightest idea about that kid. ”
Chen Yuxiang snorted, glanced at Sima Xiaowei beside Yang Ye, and said, "Yes, Nan Nan, I believe in you." You don't look like someone who looks at him and spends his days around that bastard, like you're lost. ”
Sima Xiaowei blushed a little at her gaze, and wanted to refute, but she didn't know how to justify.
Ren Tie and Wu Fan glanced at Chen Yuxiang, they both shook their heads secretly, their faces were full of helplessness, they both knew Chen Yuxiang's identity, so they didn't bother to pay attention to their bickering.
"Yang bastard, I heard that you are still a martial arts cultivator, saying that you are a fool, not wronging you, you have such a good talent, but you are self-destructing your future, it's really sad. ”
Chen Yuxiang saw that Yang Ye ignored him, and his heart became even more dissatisfied, and he said in a weird way.
"What? He's still a martial arts cultivator?"
When everyone heard the news, they were taken aback, and they all looked at Yang Ye with shocked faces.
"No wonder even if you don't use your style, Zhang Kui and I are not his opponents, it turns out that he is still a martial artist. ”
Jiao Ao said secretly in his heart.
"No wonder you're not afraid of the cold, but Yang Ye, what did you think in the first place, how could you make such a stupid decision?"
Zhang Nannan was puzzled.
Yang Ye opened his eyes and ignored their discussions, but smiled at Chen Yuxiang: "Chen Yuxiang, it seems that you have a lot of research, and you even know the news." ”
Chen Yuxiang snorted coldly and sneered: "You are really self-inflicted, the reason why I know about this is not that Xiaowei used to babble in front of me all day long about your affairs, it is not me who studies you deeply, but her." I really don't know what she's proud of, you bastard who cultivates both civil and military, obviously looking for death, she still shows off all day long, just like you, she is a stupid. ”
Sima Xiaowei's eyes were bright, and she couldn't help but argue: "Yuxiang, Yang Ye's dual cultivation of civil and martial arts, there must be a reason for him, which is not something we can understand." He is so talented and has more truth than we know, and he will definitely not be self-restrained. ”
Yang Ye's heart moved, she glanced at her with some surprise, and said secretly: This girl is really smart and can always understand me.
"Hmph, you're really infatuated, you believe him unconditionally in everything. ”
Chen Yuxiang snorted coldly.
Sima Xiaowei was also shy, and said frankly: "Infatuation is not infatuation, I don't know, I know, I believe in him, no matter what." ”
