Chapter 31: Breakthrough

The next day, Li Xingyun set off first with the 3,800 Longxiang army stationed in Jiuli Village.

When they came to the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, the entrance had been blocked by the poisonous insect array, and in the face of such a situation, Li Xingyun and the others had no experience in leading troops, so they could only listen to the fence tell about the method of cracking, and then let Hou Qing Imperial Corpse crack the array.

By the time Guo Wei arrived with the army in the evening, everyone hadn't even broken a formation.

Seeing everyone break the formation like this, Guo Wei endured it for a long time, and still went to offer advice to Li Xingyun.

"King, we have tens of thousands of elite troops, and we can break through the formation with our strength."

Li Xingyun had never led a large army, and he didn't like these, so he heard that Guo Wei had an idea, and he didn't listen to what his specific plan was, so he handed over all the military power to Guo Wei.

"General Guo, although Shi Wei is not afraid of the general's jokes, I don't know anything about military affairs at all."

Hearing this, Guo Wei had a great impression of Li Xingyun, and after giving up his orders, he divided the army into four teams.

The first team is protected by torches.

The second team used branches to shoot down poisonous insects.

The third team used sand to cover the poisonous insects that were taken down.

The last team carried buckets of water, and after it was covered with sand, they sprinkled it with water, and when the sand and water met, it became dirt, and the poisonous insects lost their ability to fly anymore, and the threat to people was basically gone.

After a little preparation, Guo Wei took the four of them as a team, covered his mouth and nose with kudzu cloth dipped in water, and began to advance with a long snake formation, like a wall, the effect was really extraordinary, but in more than a moment, he swept away a large number of poisonous insects, advancing six or seven zhang, at this speed, but two hours, he was able to break this poisonous insect array.

Looking at Guo Wei, who was in command, Li Xingyun praised from the bottom of his heart:

"General Guo is really powerful, it turns out that the army can still be used like this."

Guo Wei heard Li Xingyun's praise, and hurriedly bowed down and said:

"The king has won the award, and the last general is just learning from Zhuge Wuhou to conquer the Southern Barbarians back then."

Li Xingyun said "oh", only then did he know that this was not Guo Wei's original.

Zhang Zifan heard this, and said on the side:

"The general is too modest, and he can think of this method in a very short time, which shows that the general is familiar with the art of war and strategy, and his knowledge is also extraordinary."

Li Xingyun nodded in agreement and said:

"Yes, the general has made great contributions, and I will definitely ask the imperial brother for the general's credit."

Guo Wei was overjoyed in his heart, but his face was not obvious, and he saluted the two of them:

"Thank you for raising the king, thank you Mr. Zhang for the compliment."

When a few people were talking, as many soldiers became more and more proficient in cooperating, the speed of advance became faster and faster, and it was originally said that two or three hours could break the formation, but it was just an hour, and the sky was not completely dark, and the poisonous insect array outside was swept away.

"King Qiqi, the poison array has been broken, what should I do next?"

Li Xingyun hurriedly helped Guo Wei up, and after thinking about it, he said:

"The only ones who are guilty are the poisonous prince and Li Siyuan, the general invades the valley, and he must not kill ordinary people at will, just punish the evil."

The nightmare on the side also nodded frantically and said:

"Yes... Right... Yes, the eight poison kings are the most hateful, and everyone else has been deceived by him. ”

Guo Wei nodded, and after bowing down to receive the order, he rode on his war horse and went to the whole army to train him.

I saw that more than 10,000 troops were divided into three divisions under the command of Guo Wei, with more than 1,000 heavy cavalry in the front, and 3,000 light cavalry in the middle about 100 zhang behind the forward.

In the end, the main force of more than 8,000 people was protecting Li Xingyun and others, about two miles away from the forward, and marched slowly.

After Li Xingyun and the others entered the valley under the escort of the army, they saw that the entire valley had been cleared by the forwards, and the ordinary Miao people were hiding in their houses and shivering, although there were corpses on the ground, there were not many, and the battle was obviously not very fierce.

After a while, I saw the general who led the vanguard, with millions of prisoners in the poison cave, come to report it.

"King Qiyu, General Qiyu, did not find Chi Li and Li Siyuan, the last general interrogated the prisoners, according to him, Chi Li disappeared after the arrival of the king's troops."

Li Xingyun didn't find Chi Li when he heard this, frowned, and asked Chi Meng:

"Are there any back doors and secret passages in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave?"

Chi dreamed for a moment, and after a moment said:

"There should be, but I don't know too much, I'll have to ask my dad to find out."

Just in case, Li Xingyun and others were responsible for attacking the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, while Chi Fence was refining the Gu worms that controlled the God of War in a hidden place, and they were not in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave at this time.

Li Xingyun nodded and looked at Hou Qing, the corpse ancestor with the highest skill among all the people.

"Corpse Ancestor?"

Hou Qing ignored Li Xingyun and studied the bone flute in his hand.

Nightmare snorted coldly and shouted:

"Little... White... Face. ”

Hou Qing heard the sound of the nightmare, immediately put away the bone flute, hugged his fists and said:

"It's Master, I'll go now."

After saying that, a few vertical leaps disappeared from everyone's eyes.

After Hou Qing walked away, Li Xingyun said to Guo Wei:

"It's not early, the general will arrange for the soldiers to be stationed down first, and when we know where Chi Li fled, we will set off tomorrow."

Guo Wei bowed down to receive the order and retreated to arrange for the army to be stationed.

After Guo Wei went down, Li Xingyun said in a deep voice:

"I'm afraid the Gu King's estimation is inaccurate, the terrain of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave is dangerous, and it is its base camp. It is already the best place to block the army, but Chi Li gave up so easily, obviously trying to buy time, and the Altar of the Soldier God Monster is probably about to become. ”

Zhang Zifan also said with a solemn face:

"Brother Li is right, if this soldier god is really as powerful as the Gu King said, we have to be prepared, although the Long Xiang Army is elite, but after all, it is still human, I don't know if we can stop it, we have to prepare for the worst."

Li Xingyun nodded and asked:

"Brother Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Zifan pondered for a moment and said:

"As the saying goes, capture the thief and capture the king first, and after the corpse ancestor returns, we will go directly to kill the poison prince, and the army will be handed over to General Guo to follow later, Brother Li, what do you think?"

Li Xingyun pondered for a moment and then nodded and said:

"Okay, that's it."

The three girls heard it unconsciously, and they really couldn't imagine that the two of them could think of so many things just from a little thing, so they could only nod their heads in agreement and obey the orders of the two.

It was not until the middle of the night that the corpse ancestor came back suddenly, came to the handsome tent, and told the secret passage that he had asked from the fence, Li Xingyun and Zhang Zifan studied the map, and asked about the situation of Miaojiang in the dream, and unanimously concluded that the poison prince was located.

After Li Xingyun handed over the army to Guo Wei, he took everyone and rushed to a place where Miao Jiang specialized in refining Gu overnight.

......

When the sky was about to dawn, everyone rushed to the place, this Gu refining place was a natural huge karst cave, and there was a valley not far away, where poisonous insects gathered, which was where the natural Gu refining was.

But at this time, it was quiet, and even the poisonous insects in the valley next to it seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

Li Xingyun's face was solemn and he said, "Be careful."

Everyone nodded, and walked cautiously towards the cave.

"You did."

Suddenly, an extremely strange sound came from inside the cave, a bit like a ghost, but more often than not, it didn't even look like a human voice.
