By the time Liu Yishou and them arrived at their destination, it was already late at night.

It is still twenty miles away from Zhumen Mountain.

An order was given from above to rest and attack in three hours.

"Captain Gu. ”

When Liu Shen walked into this tent, there were already six people standing inside, except for Gu Xiang and Fang Tianqi, the other few were the captains who participated in the operation.

In addition to Shi Shangliu, the captain of the third team of Yunying, and Gao Lu, the captain of the fifth team of Jade Shield, who appeared in the battle of ambushing the Golden Scale Leopard not long ago, the other two are the captains who are responsible for leading the other 400 people to wait between the bamboo gate and the village.

They are: Song Yezhou, captain of the sixth team of Cangshui, and Xia Ting, captain of the fourth team of Yunying.

"Well, here we are. ”

Gu Xiang beckoned, motioning for Liu Shen to get as close as possible, and the group of them was gathered around a square table with a map on it.

"Art of War: Surprise, attack unprepared, we should attack immediately, let me lead the team, I promise to defeat the beast herd within an hour!"

Through the light, Liu Shen saw clearly the captain who spoke, Yunying's Xia Ting.

It is not surprising that this man has always been known for his radical boldness.

However, he was telling the truth.

"I just got the news, there are now more than three hundred and twenty spirit beasts on the mountain, and the beast king is a wind fox of the three-turn Dan Xuan Realm. ”

"Do you know why this wind fox stopped here?"

"Because it's in production, it can't be moved. ”

Gu Xiang looked at Liu Shen, "This is an excellent opportunity, originally we were going to rest for three hours, but now it seems that this time is going to be shortened." ”

"What?" Liu Shen's expression suddenly changed slightly, the wind fox is a relatively rare spirit beast, known for its speed, if the information is true, it means that they can also harvest five to ten wind fox cubs!

This is also the reason why Gu Xiang decided to attack in advance, once this wind fox finds out that the situation is not right, it is likely to leave with its cubs.

"There are two ways up the mountain. One east and one west. ”

Gu Xiang looked at the other captains standing at the table, everyone's expressions were either calm, excited, or contemplative.

"We went up in two ways, one from the east and the other from the west. ”

"It's still this afternoon's configuration, one route is led by Liu Shen, Shi Shangliu, and Gao Lu, and I personally supervise the formation, and the other route is led by Captain Fang Tianqi, Song Yezhou, and Xia Ting, and Captain Fang Tianqi is in charge of commanding. ”

In this case, just divide the three soldiers and horses in half.

"I'm going from the east, and Captain Fang has to work harder all the way and make a detour to the west. ”

"Let's attack together and try to eat most of the spirit beasts in the shortest possible time. Finally, merge all the way and take the wind fox directly!"

Gu Xiang took out a thumb-sized round object.

"Now proofread the time. ”

"It's a moment now, and we're going to attack tomorrow when we're ugly. ”

"The two roads are on the same page, and the results are evenly divided. ”

Gu Xiang's last sentence stabilized everyone's careful thinking.

"Head Gu, I'll ....." Xia Ting wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Gu Xiang.

"Obey orders. ”

"Yes. ”

After all, he is Yunying's person, and aside from the command of the coalition forces, Deputy Regiment Commander Gu is also his superior.

"Let's go back and prepare, it's not too early. ”

Gu Xiang still looked at the map on the table, "Liu Shen, Shi Shangliu, and Captain Gao Lu are left." ”

Fang Tianqi saluted and walked out of the tent quickly.

"You fought a good ambush this time, and I heard that you also captured the golden leopard alive. ”

Liu Shen and the three of them glanced at each other, and the casualty report had already been reported at the end of the battle.

"Captain Liu Shen's men suffered 18 minor wounds, 5 seriously wounded, and 1 killed; Captain Gao Lu's men suffered 25 minor wounds, 8 seriously wounded, and 3 killed; as for you, Shi Shangliu, the three teams suffered 20 minor injuries, 6 seriously wounded, and 2 killed, and the three teams suffered a total of casualties. ”

Gu Xiang picked up a piece of parchment in his hand, on which were written the casualties of this ambush.

"Excluding the dead and minor and serious wounded, and then removing each team left to clean up the battlefield, there are still two hundred and twelve people in your three teams, plus my two escort teams, a total of two hundred and sixty-two people. Among them, there are fifteen people in the eighth-stage True Martial Realm, four people in the nine-stage True Martial Realm, plus the three of you, two of them are in the Dan Xuan Realm, and one is in the second Dan Xuan Realm, a total of twenty people. ”

Putting down the parchment in his hand, Gu Xiang's eyes swept towards the three of them.

"On the other hand, there are now three hundred and twenty spirit beasts on the mountain, excluding the beast king, there are two nine-stage true martial realm spirit beasts, five eight-stage true martial realm spirit beasts, a total of seven. ”

Why did you choose the Eight-Stage True Martial Realm as the standard, because among the selection criteria of these mercenary groups, the Eight-Stage True Martial Realm is the selection standard for the squad leader, and the squad leader is the commander of the smallest combat unit.

"If we get first, I'm afraid it's going to be very difficult for us to win in a short period of time. ”

After all, spirit beasts still have a numerical advantage. They themselves have a physical advantage over humans, and generally speaking, two spirit beasts of the same level are equivalent to three humans of the same level, or even more.

Moreover, spirit beasts also occupy the advantage of the terrain.

Then let the lightly wounded brothers also go into battle. Shi Shangliu took over the conversation, "Our Yunying's brothers are all men, and this injury is nothing." ”

If you add minor injuries, then the number is comparable to that of spirit beasts.

"Head Gu, actually, I know that in addition to these two roads, there is a small road that can lead directly to the mountain. ”

Liu Shen hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Gu Xiang this important piece of information.

"Oh?"

Gu Xiang raised his eyebrows.

"It was the kid Liu Yishou who told me, he often collects medicine in this area, and he told me that there is a hidden path that leads straight to the mountain. ”

"Really, you call him now!"

In fact, Gu Xiangbing is divided into two ways, which is a little selfish.

Although this operation was commanded by Gu Xiang, it was actually part of Deputy City Lord Song's plan to defeat the beast tide, and it was just an appetizer for the entire operation.

The village ambush battle was fought beautifully, and the casualties were much less than expected, so Gu Xiang was a little tempted.

If he can win this battle with the same or slightly less number than the spirit beasts, he may be able to gain the appreciation of the Song City Lord. In this case, he, the deputy head of the regiment, may remove the word 'deputy'.

It's so tempting. He's been in this position for ten years.

"I've asked him to wait outside. ”

"Let him in!"

Liu Shen opened the curtain door and beckoned outside.

As soon as Liu Yishou got into the camp tent, he saw Gu Xiang hurrying to meet him.

"Little Brother Liu," Gu Xiang patted Liu Yishou on the shoulder, "You have made a great contribution to ambushing the Golden Scale Leopard, I have heard Liu Shen say it!"

"At that time, thanks to Brother Liu for stopping the golden-scaled leopard, otherwise the beast would have run away. Liu Shen added on the side, "His skills are also very good!"

On the side, Shi Shangliu and Gao Lu glanced at each other. They were also there at the time, but Liu Shen said this as if they had done nothing.

"Really?" Gu Xiang glanced at Liu Shen, and then at Liu Yishou, "Although the Golden Scale Leopard is also a true martial eighth, it is indeed very good to be able to stop it!"

"Captain Liu has won the award. Liu Yishou smiled shyly, "If Captain Shi hadn't seriously injured that beast at that time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to stop it!"

"Haha! Sure enough, the hero is a young man, little brother, you are so young and have such skills, you must have a bright future!"

“......”

couldn't think of anything else, Liu Yishou could only laugh awkwardly.

"I heard Captain Liu say, do you know a shortcut up the mountain?"

"Yes. ”

Liu Yishou looked at the table behind Gu Xiang, bypassed Gu Xiang and walked straight to the table, only to see him glance at the map and trace a route with his fingers.

"This is it. ”

Gu Xiang also walked over quickly, looking at the route drawn by Liu Yishou, his brows furrowed slightly.

"It's a slope with a lot of weeds and trees. Are you sure?"

"I'm sure. Liu Yishou nodded, "Once I slid down the slope and found this path. ”

"It's hiding under this weed, and now it's the beginning of summer, and the weeds have grown again, so I can conclude that the spirit beasts on the mountain don't know. ”

"Great!" Gu Xiang slapped the table and looked at Liu Yishou, "Can you show us the way?"

"Yes. Liu Yishou nodded, he was here to participate in this battle.

"Okay, let's work out the details. Gu Xiang looked at Liu Shen and the others, "You guys also come over together." ”
