Chapter 575: Assassination
On the dimly lit boning mountain, Ji Ye's face was painful, staring at the childish water mirror in front of him.
In the small mirror, you can vaguely see that the coalition army is like a pack of hungry wolves, tearing at the helpless and hesitant Southern Army from all directions.
They trembled like lambs to the slaughter, waiting for the butcher's knife to fall.
Death, it's not terrible, the southern army is not so fragile, what is terrible is to be blindfolded and die for no reason, to die senselessly, and to die you can't see where your opponent is. The knife in his hand, the strength in his body, and the cultivation that he has worked hard for many years, there is no place to show it at all.
This feeling of powerlessness makes people angry, helpless, numb, and dead.
There was no fighting in front of the Luling Ridge, and the battle was stretching towards the ponding platform and the stronghold camps on both sides. Four of the original seven hills of the Southern Army have been lost, and then there is the former army camp and the bone mountain.
From time to time, people come in to report how many people have been brought back. But this poor number is not only not exciting, but even more depressing, and there are too few people coming back.
These are relatively large and unbroken teams, and the rest of the scattered people can only be resigned. Relying on such a large childish water mirror to find one or two people is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Wu Yan sat aside, he had ordered that in addition to the necessary defense needs of the Northern Army, all the Zhishui mirrors were used to save people from return, and the battle was no longer able to fight, and the most important thing now was to hold these camps, hold the Luling Ridge, and wait for a possible turnaround.
"Alright, don't give me this look like I'm going to live or die. The battle is not over yet, let's hurry up and discuss the later arrangements, otherwise, I am afraid that we will not be able to withdraw from Catching Luling, and we will all have to die here." Wu Yan violently pulled Ji Ye up and threw him a pot of wine.
Ji Jing's expression was gloomy, he glanced at Wu Gan, and also persuaded: "Young master, the matter has come to this, we can only look back, the lives of our subordinates are all in our thoughts, and we still need to discuss a proper method."
Ji Ye picked up the wine jug, took a few big sips to his mouth, and slapped the table heavily, "If I don't take revenge, I Ji Ye will not be able to see my father and brother again." Wu Gan, Ji Jing, tell me how our army should respond to such a situation."
"Shrink."
"Hold on."
Wu Gen and Ji Jing spoke at the same time, but the meaning was very different. can no longer go forward, according to the current situation, the southern army can only seek its own death.
In particular, Fang Cai also saw in the mirror that the group of people and horses led by Gu Baicao, although there was no miracle outside, but in the mist, they came and went freely, and it was like a god-killing existence. It is estimated that no less than 5,000 soldiers of the Southern Army died under their hands. With such an opponent outside, how can you resist it.
The only way to do this is to stick to the camp and resist the opponent's assault with the help of a limited water mirror. As for the withdrawal of these mists, whether they can be withdrawn or not is another matter. Since the Gu family can set up such a barrier, they can let the fog continue to extend.
Moreover, leaving the fortified camp to fight the enemy in the field, when the morale of the Southern army is so low, is tantamount to self-defeat.
Ji Jing glanced at Wu Gan, and a ray of light flashed under his eyes like a cold pool, "Wu Zhenfu has wiped out most of the Flying Tiger Army this time, and has discovered the secret of breaking the barrier pupil, if you have any ideas, please say it directly, at such a critical juncture, please don't hide the pearl in your body."
Wu Yan raised his eyebrows and glanced at the other party, knowing that Ji Jing doubted himself, he sighed slightly, "Ji Zhenfu, the clear self-purifying." Indeed, as you said, at such a juncture, we must work together to fight against the stubborn enemy.
If our army lost this battle, it lost on this fog, and we were caught off guard. Now if you want to break through the fog, there is no good way to do it in the short term. The only way to do this is to pull our opponents into the same situation as we do. Fang just interrogated the people of the Gu family, and the reason why the Zhishui Mirror could see the situation in the fog was precisely because of the existence of the broken pupil.
Therefore, my idea is that each army cannot hold out and be careful to withstand the attack of the other side. With the childish water mirror, it is not a problem for me to hold the camp. In addition, send some elite warriors to sneak attack where the obstacle is. Since this thing is so important, the enemy will definitely send powerful people to guard it. So I'd like to ask the Calm to come with me, and I've broken this thing. Only when we can not see clearly what is going on in the fog will we have a chance to engage the enemy fairly."
"Yes." Ji Jing groaned slightly and nodded in agreement, "How many people are needed."
"It's useless to have more, the enemy must have sent heavy troops to protect it, and it won't help if a few thousand people go over. It's enough for the two of us to bring a dozen people, and it's best to sneak up on it." Wu Yan took off his sky-shaking bow and handed it to the other party, "This thing is handed over to the suppression for use, if you get the opportunity, shoot that strange eye down with one arrow."
Ji Jing stroked the big black bow, his brows slightly relaxed, "When to act, as you said, that strange eye can't see the movement outside the mist, do you need to go around this fog and make a detour to sneak attack."
"If you act at night, you might as well pretend to be a rebel and kill him directly through the fog." Wu Yan got up and picked up a piece of paper on Ji Ye's handsome case, and drew the approximate location of the barrier-breaking pupil, which was still a hundred steps away from the mist.
"We'll touch the edge of the mist directly, please calm down the thought and shoot the barrier-breaking pupil down. However, since I have already been out of the fog once today, I want to come to the coalition forces to take precautions. We will send a man from the northern military camp to attract the attention of the coalition forces and create an opportunity for us to sneak attack."
"That's a good move." Ji nodded and replied, "But who are you going to pick for this sneak attack?"
"Just pick some capable people, I'm going to take only Zhang Wuyang, Luo Zhang, and Zhuo Ke, and as for calming down here, it's up to me." Wu Yan thought about it and prepared for the northern army to send four people.
"I'll go too." Ji Ye spoke indifferently on the side.
Wu Yan and Ji Jing were both stunned, and turned their heads to look at Ji Ye, "No, you are the governor, you have to guard the Chinese army, otherwise there will be no big moves by the coalition army during this period, and there will not even be a person in charge in the army."
"Huh." Ji Ye laughed miserably and shook his head again and again, "If the northern and southern armies lose this battle, what face will I have to see my father and eldest brother. Success or failure is here, don't persuade me, I will let Ji Rui bring a few people to follow."
Wu Yan turned his head and glanced at Ji Rui, who had been standing behind the case, and he didn't react at all, as if the sneak attack had nothing to do with him.
As a result, after several disputes, ten people were involved in the sneak attack. In addition to the four members of the Northern Army, there were also Ji Ye, Ji Rui and two tomb guards, and Ji Jing only brought one of his own personal guards.
Wu Gen and the others simply rested in peace on the side of the camp of the Deboning Mountain to recuperate. Now that the big fighting outside has subsided, the coalition forces are entering Jishuitai one after another to exterminate the remnants of the Southern Army.
This is the way it is to fight, the two sides may have a quick result, but it is not so easy to clear the scattered soldiers of the other side. Especially in the fog, although the coalition forces have childish water mirrors, after all, their eyesight is limited, and they are cautious when they walk, for fear of taking a wrong step.
In addition, the terrain of Luling is complex, and it is not easy to find someone on weekdays, so the process of clearing and suppressing has been relatively slow. Moreover, after all, the scene of the Zhishui Mirror is limited, and the large corps can see it clearly, and those ten or twenty people can't be found in the mirror at all, so they can only push it over little by little like a grate.
While waiting, Ji Xie suddenly hurried into the big tent, holding a helmet in his hand. This item was seized from the ancient white grass, and some of it was handed over to Ji Xie by Ji Ye, wondering if he could figure out its purpose.
Ji Xie walked up to Ji Ye's side, leaned over and whispered a few words. Himeya looked up suddenly, "Really, so fast."
Ji Xie took a step back and leaned over and said, "My subordinates once knew a talisman master of the Gu family, and he was quite interested in his rune attainments, so he used some means to get something from him. This helmet uses the Heavenly Eye Talisman, but it is slightly changed according to each person's soul power, and it is not difficult to transform it."
Looking at this ruthless old man, Wu Yan couldn't help but slander when he heard this, he didn't know if this ancient family's talisman master could survive if he used this method.
"Not bad." There was a smile on Himeya's face, "Ji Xie can adjust these helmets slightly, so that our people can come and go freely in the fog after putting them on. It's better to break through the obstacles with this sneak attack, and we will borrow the armor of these ancient families, and it will be more convenient to act."
Speaking of this, Ji Ye suddenly remembered something, "Wu Gan, this helmet needs to be driven by aura, you can't practice qi, what should be done." I'll go with Ji Zhenfu, you might as well stay in the middle army and arrange the affairs in the army."
Hearing Ji Ye's words, Ji Jing's face changed slightly, Ji Ye is going to hand over the military power of the Northern and Southern Army to Wu Gan, is this appropriate.
"Hitting people doesn't slap their faces, exposing people doesn't expose their shortcomings, Young Master Ji, it's too much. Isn't it just that I can't practice qi, and with the childish water mirror, I can still charge into battle." Wu Yan snorted angrily and retorted, but he was secretly shocked in his heart, Ji Ye's move was really inappropriate, commanding the northern and southern armies was the qualification of the young master, and he was an outsider, if he did this trespassing, if he really took it recklessly, after the war, he would not be impeached by many people.
Ji Ye, I've read so many books of the human race, and I still haven't learned the way of the emperor.
"That's good, in order to prevent the enemy from discovering it, we don't need to illuminate the naïve water mirror for this sneak attack, you lose behind Ji Rui, and he will take you away. How about waiting for the fog to come out and then let go of the enemy." Ji Ye thought for a while and suggested.
Being carried behind his back to fight, the corners of Wu Gan's mouth twitched, this Ji Ye can really think of it, but this is indeed a good way. But is this Ji Rui reliable, he won't attack himself in the fog.
Seeing Wu Qian's careful thoughts, Ji Ye smiled slightly, "Ji Rui is loyal to the Ji family, don't worry, he will protect your safety."
The sky is getting darker, and the offensive of the coalition forces is gradually slowing down, after all, killing people is also a very tiring thing. However, they did not withdraw to the main camp, but gathered in the Luling Ridge one after another, preparing to attack the southern army camp again on the second day.
The Southern Army has limited naïve water mirrors, and after retracting into the camp, they dare not take the lead, where do they dare to counterattack. Therefore, these coalition forces are talking and laughing and eating on the spot, and they don't have to worry about being attacked at all.
As for the northern army, the coalition army also gathered some men, but after stepping on a few traps, they did not move, it seems that the other party's intention is to stabilize the north and attack the south, and the focus of the attack is still the southern army.
In the camp of the Deboning Mountain, Ji Ye and the other ten people have all changed into the armor of the Gu family, and even Wu Gan, who can't practice qi, has also changed a set. net
Ji Rui walked in front of Wu Gan, turned his back and bowed slightly. Wu Yan looked at the strange gazes of everyone around him, gritted his teeth and jumped onto Ji Rui's back.
Ji Rui was tall, and Wu Qian landed on him like a half-grown child, but he didn't look heavy.
It felt bad to be carried by a man, it was very bad, and Wu Gen instantly got goosebumps. I helped the cylinder with the snake carving behind me to relieve my embarrassment.
This trip is a sneak attack, in case you meet any high-level people, there is a snake carving on your body, and you can also have a means of self-defense. Shen Lang was confined to his identity, and he categorically could not appear in front of these people.
Zhuo Ke and Luo Zhang followed Ji Rui's side quietly, out of the scope of the childish water mirror, Wu Jian became blind and slaughtered by others, and the two of them were a little uneasy.
"Let's go." Ji Ye took the lead in rushing out of the camp with a long sword in his hand today.
As soon as he entered the mist, his front suddenly became gray, and even his voice was much quieter. Wu Gan's body suddenly tensed, this is an instinctive reaction of people, facing a situation that he can't control, he will unconsciously feel nervous.
Under him, Ji Rui's body rose and fell rhythmically, walking on the rugged mountain road, as if walking on the ground. Looking at the darkness in the distance, Wu Yan thought of the ghost for no reason, remembered the Fu Ming Pass, and remembered the ups and downs along the way.
Walking through so many strange places, Wu Gen quickly adapted to this kind of invisible environment, and rarely had the leisure to think about the past, and think about the girl who was far away in Zhao Kingdom.
I don't know how long it took, when I was sighing with emotion, Ji Rui under him suddenly stopped, the fog in front of him seemed to have faded a lot, and some starlight stubbornly squeezed into the fog.
