Chapter 24: Counter-Ambush

Li Jingxiao was still a little hesitant at the moment, but he had already made a decision, Li Jingxiao didn't want to change it, and after taking a deep breath, he said: "I think I know the whereabouts of your palace master, but I can't say it yet." For the time being, you go back to Jingxiao Palace first, let the elders in the palace decide on the matter of cooperation, and then come to the Northwest Land to find me with the answer and your opinions on Yuan Junxuan, and after you arrive, directly send out your Jingxiao Palace's unique code, and I will go to you. Remember, I only wish you were the only one!"

After speaking, Li Jingxiao decisively turned around and left. Mo Shiqing wanted to stay and ask for clarification, but was stopped by Xiao Da and others, and then let him leave.

Mo Shiqing saw that Li Jingxiao was really reluctant to say it, so he left decisively with questions. Since Li Jingxiao has already said that when he goes to find him again, it is the time to tell the whereabouts of Yuan Junxuan, then what needs to be done now is to hurry back to the palace, make a decision as soon as possible, and then find Li Jingxiao to know the answer.

This matter is absolutely confidential, although I believe in these people who follow him, but after all, there are many people, and the less one person knows, there is one less chance of being passed on, so Mo Shiqing chose to keep the matter in his heart, no matter how Mo Qingqing and others asked, Mo Shiqing did not answer.

After leaving, before returning to the army, Xiao Da couldn't help it, and asked Li Jingxiao, "Palace Master, why don't you admit your identity?"

"Admit your identity, will they believe it? They are different from you, and what is the situation in the palace now, do you know? If it is because of my return, there are great changes in the Jingxiao Palace, then I might as well disappear completely. There has already been a crisis in Jingxiao Palace, and I don't want to do it again. Li Jingxiao replied with a heavy heart.

Xiao Da wanted to say something, but what Li Jingxiao said was not wrong, after all, Yuan Junxuan had disappeared for eleven years, how many eleven years could mortals have, what would happen to Jingxiao Palace in these eleven years?

With a heavy heart, Li Jingxiao returned to the army. In order to prevent Li Xiaoyi from having other thoughts, Li Jingxiao still showed calmness in front of Li Xiaoyi and did not reveal that emotion. However, because his mood was too heavy, Li Jingxiao didn't want to say anything, so he chose to retreat again.

Li Xiaoyi is also accustomed to this, he doesn't care about it in particular, everything is still according to the previous arrangement.

More than ten days later, the army was very close to the northwest.

Approaching this place, Li Jingxiao had a very bad feeling in his heart, so he asked the sword soul to use soul power to probe the situation ahead a few days ago.

On this day, just as Li Jingxiao was cultivating calmly as usual, the sword soul suddenly appeared in Li Jingxiao's mind, and said to Li Jingxiao: "There is another ambush ahead, and there are more than 20,000 people on the other side, and they are ambushed in two places, you should be careful." ”

After learning the details from the sword soul, Li Jingxiao walked out of the carriage.

Seeing Li Jingxiao appear, Li Xiaoyi immediately went forward and said to Li Jingxiao: "Prince, not far ahead is the place where we are guarding, and I ask the prince to wait patiently for a day." ”

Li Jingxiao didn't pay much attention to Li Xiaoyi's words, and after he came out, his attention was always in front. Seeing Li Jingxiao like this, Li Xiaoyi was puzzled and asked him, "Prince, is there anything wrong ahead?"

After speaking, Li Xiaoyi also looked at the front curiously, but he didn't gain anything. Not long after, Li Jingxiao seemed to have discovered something, and ordered Li Xiaoyi: "Order the army to stop immediately." ”

Li Jingxiao said it with an ordered tone this time, and Li Xiaoyi didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly asked Vice General Li to go and pass the order. After Vice General Li left, Li Xiaoyi asked, "Does the prince have something to deal with here?"

As soon as Li Xiao spoke, Li Jingxiao interrupted: "The front is too quiet, the quiet is a little weird, didn't the marshal think that there would be an ambush?"

After Li Jingxiao finished speaking, before Li Xiaoyi could speak, Deputy Marshal He, who came with Li Xiaoyi, said: "The prince is filtered, this is still the boundary of my Dayong, the barbarian tribe can't reach here, and the front is the place where our army is guarding, if they dare to come, they will definitely be besieged and killed by us." ”

Hearing Deputy Marshal He's words, Li Jingxiao sneered twice. And Li Xiaoyi was reminded by Li Jingxiao at this time, and he also found something, and when Deputy Marshal He was dissatisfied with Li Jingxiao's sneer, he said to him: "It's not good, I'm afraid there is really an ambush, the front is really too quiet, it is impossible to have no sounds of birds and beasts here." ”

As soon as Li Xiao's words came out, the army that had just stopped at the strongest was attacked, and there were heavy casualties.

"It's not good, you wait here to protect the prince, and Ben Shuai will go to meet them in person. ”

"Slow. As soon as Li Xiao was about to act, Li Jingxiao suddenly spoke. When Li Xiaoyi looked at Li Jingxiao, Li Jingxiao continued: "The army has just stopped, and it's not sure if we really found them, and they won't be so reckless." ”

"Prince, you mean"

Seeing Li Jingxiao nodding, Li Xiaoyi did not continue, but ordered to Deputy Marshal He beside him: "Deputy Marshal He, this marshal will go with an army of 500,000 to exterminate those people, and you will take the remaining 500,000 troops to search the surroundings." ”

"Marshal, please give me 30,000 horses. Since the Holy Lord sent me out to experience this time, he can't let me stay behind and accept protection. ”

"But"

"No, I can't sit and wait. Li Jingxiao didn't want to hear so many reasons, so he said toughly.

"Okay, then please be careful, the battlefield has been many times, please put yourself first. After giving Li Jingxiao 30,000 horses, Li Xiaoyi turned to Vice Marshal He and said: "Vice Marshal He's prince will be handed over to you, no matter what, you can't let the prince be hurt in the slightest, otherwise military law will be involved." ”

After that, Li Xiaoyi and Deputy Marshal He took their own actions, and Li Jingxiao also took the 30,000 horses arranged by Li Xiaoyi into the jungle, and slowly approached the place where the sword soul told him. When did Deputy Marshal He become a person who had experienced a hundred battles, he realized that there might be enemy troops hiding in the shadows at this moment, and quickly judged the possible potential place of the enemy army, so he also thought about going in that direction, and that direction was the direction in which Li Jingxiao slowly lurked in the past.

Li Xiaoyi chased after with an army of 500,000, and the barbarian army that sneaked up on the vanguard of Dayong in front immediately withdrew to the rear. Li Jingxiao took his 30,000 horses and soon lurked in another place with more than 10,000 barbarian troops hidden in the dark. Because the birds and beasts here were easily dropped in advance by the barbarians, Li Jingxiao and the others lurked all the way over and were not discovered.

Soon after, Deputy Marshal He also entered there with people. Unlike Li Jingxiao, Deputy Marshal He had more than 400,000 troops behind him, and although the barbarians in front of him were very brave, there were only 10,000 people after all, so after discovering it, Deputy Marshal He did not hesitate and immediately ordered the army to attack.

Deputy Marshal He's sudden attack surprised the barbarian army that was lying in ambush there. After seeing the number of Dayong clearly, these barbarian armies did not dare to confront it, and chose to retreat one after another.

However, just as they were retreating, Li Jingxiao appeared even more suddenly with the 30,000 troops who had been hiding on their retreat path. Seeing those people approaching, Li Jingxiao and Li Jing ordered the arrows to be released, wanting to stop them at once.

But Li Jingxiao underestimated the barbarian army a little this time, the barbarian army has thick armor to protect the vital points and joints on no one's body, and those arrows can't cause any damage to these physically gifted people at all, even if some of them are hit by arrows in their limbs, but they are only a little slower.

Finding that the arrow array was useless and could not cause any damage to the other party, Li Jingxiao immediately changed his strategy and ordered again: "Collect the bow, everyone will take the trees as the foundation, and gradually shield the formation." ”

Li Jingxiao's order spread, and everyone acted instantly, and after a while, in front of Li Jingxiao's eyes, a long shield array was formed.

The shield array was formed, and the barbarian army in front of him had also rushed in front of him. The huge impact force caused a gap in the shield array, but it did not completely break the shield array.

At those gaps, Li Jingxiao immediately safeguarded the personnel and went to intercept them, where they re-formed the shield array. And where they were not broken, the soldiers hiding in the rear pierced their spears through the gap between the shields and stabbed their spears at the barbarians who were fighting the shield array.

The close-range spear attack was different from the long-range arrow attack, but this time it was more powerful, and some powerful soldiers even pierced the opponent's armor with a single blow, piercing the vital point. And those who can't do it wisely choose to attack the opponent's limbs and seriously injure the opponent at one time.

Under such a strategy, the barbarian army suffered heavy casualties, and after just one battle, there were more than 1,000 casualties among the 10,000 people of the barbarians.

Soon, Deputy Marshal He also arrived with his personnel, and the more than 400,000 troops behind immediately surrounded the barbarian people inside, and gradually isolated the barbarian people and scattered them.

Seeing that the situation inside had stabilized, Li Jingxiao was about to make a move, but Li Xiaoyi, who was chasing in front, led his troops to retreat, and it seemed that there were certain casualties.

Before Li Xiaoyi came, Vice General Li beside Li Xiaotian rushed to pass the word: "Prince, the marshal asked the last general to bring back the news, there are 200,000 barbarian troops in front, we can't parry, let the prince retreat quickly." ”

After listening, Li Jingxiao understood the situation, looked at the situation in front of him, and ordered Deputy Marshal He, who had already come to his side: "These people have already suffered casualties, leaving 200,000 to continue to clean up, and the remaining 300,000 people will form a battle formation on the spot, waiting for Marshal Li's return, if the other party wants to fight a decisive battle here and fight for both sides, there is no need for us to escape." ”
