Chapter 118: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada and the Yellow Sparrow
Wantang is located more than 30 miles east of Lishui County, is a swamp with interlaced waterways, it is extremely inconvenient to enter and exit, and I don't know what kind of whim King Yin Ye had, he chose to camp here. This is extremely unfavorable for marching, and if a thousand-strong army loses its mobility, any side can be easily annihilated. The only benefit is that while the Aquila Cult is restricted, it also restricts the enemy brigade from attacking. If the Aquila Sect wants to take root here for a long time, it is a good choice, provided that there is enough food and grass.
As soon as Zhao Yu and Zhang Wuji approached the pond, they found a secret sentry hidden in a hidden place, looking sleepy, and Zhao Yu didn't even notice when he touched him.
After overturning several dark sentinels one after another, Zhao Yu and the two had gradually approached the Sky Eagle Sect camp, and the glimmer of the bonfire could be faintly seen in the night. The first time Zhang Wuji did such a thing, he was inevitably in a hurry, and slipped into the mud pond several times, and was muddy. Although Zhao Yu didn't say anything, his own face was hot, and Ai Ai said: "Am I particularly useless?"
"What's the point of saying this, taking you out, I don't expect to accomplish anything. ”
Zhao Yu said frankly, not caring about Zhang Wuji's feelings. He also knew that it was almost impossible to sneak straight into the enemy's tent, and most of his visit this time was to try his luck for distraction. Although he took down a few outposts on the periphery, the information that could be heard was not necessarily more in-depth than the intelligence detected by Zhuang Zheng and a few people.
Hearing this, Zhang Wuji felt ashamed, and took the lead without saying a word, wanting to give a brilliant performance. Before he had walked a few feet, he leaned and stepped into a puddle covered with turf several feet in a square circle.
Zhao Yu chuckled as he pulled Zhang Wuji out of the puddle and said, "Okay, although your skills are not good, you are very tough." If you change to another one and keep planting in the pit, you must always have some scruples to slow down the pace, only you are still the one who jumps straight into the pit without hesitation. This skill can't be learned by others. ”
Zhang Wuji shook off his body in mud, and said angrily: "Go forward yourself, I'll wait here, so as not to drag you down." ”
"Be careful, then. ”
Zhao Yu didn't refuse after hearing this, anyway, King Yin Ye was still Zhang Wuji's blood uncle, even if it fell into the hands of the Heavenly Eagle Sect, there would be no danger.
Getting rid of Zhang Wuji, Zhao Yu's speed increased sharply, and he soon touched the outside of the Heavenly Eagle Sect camp. Through the faint moonlight in the sky, you can see that the Heavenly Eagle Cult camp is set up on a meadow several miles in a circle, surrounded by sparkling waves and surrounded by water. Seeing this situation, Zhao Yu couldn't cry or laugh, and like Zhuang Zheng and others, he was completely confused about King Yin Ye's plan. Could it be that after he attacked the vanguard camp of the Chuzhou Army, he took his subordinates and planned to hide here as a fisherman for the rest of his life?
Outside the camp, the shore around the water was heard from time to time, and it was the soldiers who were keeping vigil fishing with large nets, and I didn't know if they were fishing or in case someone sneaked in.
Zhao Yu observed around the meadow for a week, and then gave up his plan to sneak into the meadow. Although the mere waterway could not hinder him, and it was very simple to avoid the fishing nets that were salvaged, the camp on the other side was extremely chaotic, and it was impossible to see where King Yin Ye's Chinese army tent was located. This scene reminded him of Xu Da's evaluation of "Yin and Yang are afraid of ignorance", and secretly said that this Yin Ye King's repeated designs really put the Heavenly Eagle Sect in an undefeated situation. The only way to do this is to block the paths and trap them here until they are cut off from food.
With nothing to do, Zhao Yu returned the same way, and there were regrets in his heart. For the sake of today's plan, if you want to fight a quick battle, the only way to force them out is to touch the grain depot and baggage camp of the Heavenly Eagle Sect and put a fire on it. It's a pity that King Yin Ye's otherworldly method of camping, I'm afraid that Xu Da can't figure out where he stores the grain and grass here.
He seriously pondered, if there was a conspiracy behind the Heavenly Eagle Sect's move, then what was the purpose of camping like this? Look at its posture, it looked fearless, fighting without fighting, retreating without retreating, as if it was bent on attracting the attention of the Chuzhou army. And the main force of the Heavenly Eagle Sect is in Danyang, even if there is a real conspiracy against Chuzhou, it cannot be implemented, could it be that they still have the same party?
Thinking of this possibility, Zhao Yu's mood gradually became solemn.
When he returned to the original way, Zhang Wuji was gone. When Zhao Yu's mood was not good, he became more and more irritable when he saw this, and was about to look around, but found a mark carved with a knife from a tree. His heart moved, and he followed the direction indicated by the mark, gradually walking into a hidden swamp more than ten miles away from the Aquila camp. There is no road here, and the foothold is extremely muddy, even with Zhao Yu's light skills, he is covered in mud and embarrassed.
"I'm ...... here"
When Zhao Yu was hesitating and unable to settle down, he suddenly heard Zhang Wuji's low call, and followed the voice, only to see Zhang Wuji, who was wrapped in mud and grass, waving to Zhao Yu in a bush.
Zhao Yu leaned over cautiously and said in a low voice: "You don't stay where you are, what are you doing here?"
"Shhhhh......h ”
When Zhao Yu heard this, he was quite surprised: "But what did you find?"
Zhang Wuji sneered: "My light skills are not enough, and I can't hide my whereabouts if I go further, so I have to lie here and wait for you." ”
"Then you are here for a while, and I will go back as soon as I go. ”
After getting the clues found by Zhang Wuji, Zhao Yu stood up and swept into the distance like a frightened fly.
Zhang Wuji saw Zhao Yu's disappearing figure, and his expression became pale. Counting up, the two of them have known each other for six or seven years, Zhang Wuji watched a young man who was initially reckless and almost died under the Tartar sword grow into a powerful little demon lord in the world, but he has not achieved anything so far, and he is not without loss in his heart. Although he has no ambition to become famous in the world, he also wants to be as happy as Zhao Yu, but his heart is always blocked.
Not to mention Zhang Wuji, who was hiding in the grass, Zhao Yu swept forward with light skills, and after a short time, he saw a figure moving in the night not far away. He slowed his pace and crept through the mud, gradually hearing the sound of conversation in the night wind.
“...... What kind of little demon lord, isn't it that we have been fiddled with by our Yin Hall Master's tricks......"
"Don't be careless, that Xu Da has repeatedly defeated the Tartar soldiers, it's not easy to ...... with his generation"
"Altar Sealing Master, you are too careful, no matter how resourceful they are, they don't know that we hide the grain and grass more than ten miles away from the camp......
Zhao Yu gradually approached, and saw a bamboo raft on a shoal, on which full of grain bags were piled up. Nearly 200 people are waiting here, all of them are elite people with martial arts foundations. Seeing this scene, he became more and more sure that King Yin Ye must have a plan for his stay in Wantang, otherwise he would not have taken great pains to figure out these tricks.
He weighed it and felt that he would not be able to defeat more than two hundred martial arts masters on his own, so he noted down the direction and quietly retreated.
picked up Zhang Wuji, and the two rushed back to the Bowang military camp together. This time there was such an unexpected gain, thanks to Zhang Wuji's awakening, Zhao Yu did not hesitate to praise: "I was wrong before, you kid really has some luck and helped me solve a big problem." This time, I should give you a credit!"
Zhang Wuji said with a little shyness: "I don't want to be a general in your army, what's the use of taking credit." The cold poison on my body is clear thanks to your help, and it is also the right to help a hand. However, you must promise me that you will not harm the lives of my uncle and the people of the Aquila Cult. ”
Zhao Yu waved his hand and said: "If they know each other and come out to surrender, everything is easy to say." If I still have to resist to the end, I will not be relentless. After all, I am still responsible for the tens of thousands of troops in Chuzhou and southern Anhui!"
Zhang Wuji knew that it was not easy to get Zhao Yu's promise, and it was no longer difficult for him to be strong, so he only hoped that his uncle Yin Yewang would not continue to be stubborn.
Back at the Bowang military camp, the sky was already bright, Zhao Yu immediately lit the soldiers and horses of the Five Elements Banner elite battalion, led by Zhuang Zheng, Xin Ran and Tang Yang, and sent troops to the place where the Tianying Sect hid grain. He himself led a large army to besiege the swamp in Wantang, so that the Heavenly Eagle Sect and the following people from King Yin Ye could not escape.
Although it was lucky to find out where the Aquila Cult's food and grass were, he could force them out of the bay. However, Zhao Yu's mood was not relaxed, and when he thought of the helpers of the Heavenly Eagle Sect hidden in the shadows, he couldn't help but tense his heartstrings.
