Chapter 247, Trap

ps: Fellow Daoists, brothers and sisters who have not yet cultivated, continue to rob monthly passes!

Having to chase into the desert, the army recruited several guides in a small town on the edge of the desert.

With these guides on their way, the royal army doesn't have to worry about getting lost in the desert.

What's more, there are oases along the way in the desert, so that the water will not be cut off, except that the march is harder, and nothing else is wrong.

Jia Kedao, who followed behind, was even more comfortable, before leaving, Jia Kedao filled the Tao Te Ching with a lot of food and water, if he ate it himself, there was no problem in supporting it for more than half a year, even if the green dragon's food was included, it could support several meals.

Of course, the green dragon doesn't have to worry about Jia Kedao, as a top creature in the sky, the green dragon can easily catch a large sand beast to fill its stomach even in the desert, and any dragon can not eat for a long time after a full meal, as long as it is not injured or in a fierce battle.

While entering the fifth oasis, the unexpected appeared.

Not long after the thirsty soldiers gulped down the clear water, they spat out black water and rolled on the ground.

Poisoning!

Apparently, the water in the oasis was poisoned.

Fortunately, due to the small size of the lake and the fact that there were not many people drinking at the same time, the soldiers were fortunately out of danger thanks to the rescue of the priests.

The next problem was that the guides were missing.

By this time, even fools would have understood the hot-headed aristocratic officers.

Hit the trick!

Obviously, whether it was the previous cavalry routs or the large army entering the desert smoothly, being able to find the oasis very comfortably and so on were all planned by the desert church.

Even those guides were arranged by the other party.

After all, even if these aristocratic officers are prone to hot brains, after calming down, they still have basic judgments.

The current situation is that even if the water of this oasis can be eaten after the priests' painstaking expulsion, it will not be able to supply tens of thousands of people for too long.

The water of the lake is very clear. However, the area is small, and the amount of water gushing from the bottom of the lake is very small, and if it is supplied for a long time, it can only supply less than 1,000 people at most.

In other words, if tens of thousands of people are stationed here, the lake will be drunk in a week at most.

And after losing the guide, the road ahead is basically cut off.

Without a guide, an army marches through a strange desert, and that is to seek death.

Immediate withdrawal is king.

At least those noble officers had a little more brains when they marched, and the routes along the way were drawn on animal skins. Guaranteed that the way back will not be lost.

"Reserve as much fresh water as you can, and withdraw your troops tomorrow!"

With this order given, at the behest of Count Libod, the priests of the wilderness did their part, and together with the mages who accompanied them, they each released their magic spells, and the spells detoxified the lake.

That's the benefit of the Otherworld.

If you change to the army on the earth, if you really encounter water poisoning, you can only give up.

As clusters of milky white balls of light fell on the lake. A streak of green mist rose from the lake, and was then blown clean by the fierce wind summoned by the mage.

When the lake had been detoxified, the soldiers swarmed up and began to fill the water with various animal skin water bladders.

But. The face of the Earl of Libode was not very good-looking, and the faces of those noble officers were not good-looking.

Although the problem of water has been solved for the time being, in the next withdrawal process, the Desert Church will honestly watch itself leave?

There's so much to take advantage of.

Just on the way back from the withdrawal of troops along the way. Frequent sneak attacks are enough to exhaust the entire army.

The noble officer's face was not good, but the high priest of Trilu was still drowsy, even when he was shocked to hear that the lake water had been poisoned. Didn't open his eyes either.

Looking at his appearance, he didn't come to fight, but came out to travel.

In the evening, what the noble officers feared happened.

A large number of desert cavalry appeared around the oasis and launched an attack on the royal army stationed in the oasis.

These desert cavalry had never appeared outside the desert, and their mounts under their crotch were large and low-sized lizards, which traveled on the gravel, and although they were not as fast as the six-legged horses, they were able to defeat the six-legged horses in this desert terrain.

Of course, such a mount cannot be ridden out of the desert.

In just half an hour of raiding, more than 300 of Wang's troops were killed and more than 200 wounded.

This was still the battle damage that occurred in a completely defensive situation, which made Count Libode's face even more gray.

Just a thousand desert cavalry had done such damage, and if they were to be attacked like this when they were evacuated, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, the Desert Church probably only has more than a thousand desert lizard cavalry who are good at raiding, and it is not difficult to hold on.

But the next day, more than 3,000 infantry appeared around the oasis, and the plan to withdraw the next day was over.

No one dared to withdraw under the watchful eye of thousands of enemy troops, it was simply a test of the soldiers' courage, not to mention that in addition to these enemy troops who appeared, there must be more ambushes, after all, this is already close to the other party's lair.

Of course, Jia Kedao, who was hanging from afar, saw it clearly from the sky.

That's probably all the strength of the Desert Church.

After all, the desert area is a little too barren compared to the wilderness area, and only the oasis can live in people, so even if the desert is extremely wide, it can't raise many soldiers.

To be honest, to be able to gather an army of nearly 5,000, this desert church is also quite powerful.

Due to their familiarity with the environment, these more than 4,000 desert troops can withstand at least 6,000 troops in the desert area.

Of course, in any case, with Wang Jun stockpiling a lot of water, the final element that determines the outcome is still to open the scene and fight.

To say that the previous strategy of the Desert Church is relatively advanced in the Otherworld, and the next battle is a direct flesh and blood collision.

After a stalemate for a long time, the desert army took the lead in attacking, and hundreds of desert lizard cavalry rushed straight over, causing the king's archers to shoot arrows in this direction, but as soon as they rushed to the range of the arrows, they spun around and left.

On the other side, the same number of desert lizard cavalry also rushed over, and left in a circle.

After several times, the noble officers of the royal army also realized the problem.

If this continues, it won't be long before the arrows run out.

But after the shooting stopped, the desert lizard cavalry rushed straight at him, causing the king to shoot another rain of arrows, but the frequency had to be much lower. (To be continued......)
