Chapter 73 Ambush

Yan Zhengqing, the commander-in-chief of Cai Guo's 40,000 troops, frowned as he looked at the small captain who was out of danger.

Next to him, the military adviser Xiang Bowen was holding a small wooden plate, on which was a distorted bullet. The small bullet was still stained with blood, but it was still shining with golden light.

Yan Zhengqing observed carefully for a long time: "It's not gold, it's darker than gold."

The military adviser said to Bowen: "It's brass. People often use brass to deceive uninformed people. But I can't figure out how this small brass bullet can shoot a team leader on the ninth floor of the refining period. No Spirituality, and there is no formation pattern.

It is impossible to launch such a small projectile with a crossbow. "

At this moment, a few more "warriors" who were wounded and survived were carried in, and the doctors nearby rushed to rescue them. With the help of self-cultivation means, coupled with the strength of the practitioner himself, the warhead will be taken out quickly, and the true essence will be able to get out of danger after a circle of rotation.

Looking at the brass bullets being taken out one after another, the military adviser sighed to Bowen, "The opponent should have mastered a new weapon that we don't know about. Fortunately, for the time being, there are not many such weapons.

However, such an inexplicable death had a great impact on the soldiers on the front line. In addition, 22 weapons of war have been damaged, general, please withdraw your troops temporarily. Attack again in the middle of the night. "

"Okay. Send an order to temporarily withdraw the troops. Also, try to collect all the dead bodies that are unknown."

The war was temporarily suspended, and the two sides sent soldiers to collect the corpses; the Daxia Kingdom hung ropes from the city wall. Soldiers from both sides did not say hello when they met, and just sorted out the corpses silently. It was a rare peace on the battlefield.

Li Xian also received a letter from his elder brother Li Liang dozens of miles away. After hearing about the miraculous thing called 'War Artifact', Li Xian had an idea - get one and study it. Naturally, Li Xian also wanted to send a few real top snipers around him to help. If the frontier defense is breached, everything will be closed.

Xu Ren was very calm: "Don't worry! Your elder brother is not an idiot. Even if the situation is the most critical, he can survive until tomorrow. It is estimated that Cai Guo's elite soldiers will come here in the early morning. After we win here, we will fully support the border. Good strategy."

"Master, I also suggest this! Dividing troops at critical times is a taboo for military strategists!" Beichen Yuqing agreed with Xu Ren's point of view.

Li Xian followed good example: "That's good. Make it quick! But send someone to Qingyun Valley to inform all the production of locomotives, guns, and bullets, and work overtime!"

With the strategy established, the team continued to lie in ambush, quietly waiting for Cai Guo's surprise team to arrive. It's just that Li Xian still has a lot of questions in his heart - will Cai Guo's team really go here? What if I miss it? What if the opponent splits up?

Not to mention Li Xian's broken thoughts here, in the early morning, Wuyang City, thousands of miles away, has already exploded. The first wave of distress letters from Anyang arrived. (The second wave of urgent information is still on the way and has not arrived yet.)

Civil and military officials were pulled out late at night to discuss military and state affairs—Cai Guo committed a crime!

"At least 40,000 elite soldiers have invaded the border." His Majesty's expression changed, "Fu Minghui, you lead the 30,000 Imperial Forest Army to support!"

Prime Minister Ouyang Wubing, Li Yulong, the Wang family and other officials all agreed.

Grand Master Kong Xiang stood up, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that you should not act recklessly. It will be dangerous if you fall into the trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain."

His Majesty the Emperor had long lost his mind, "What does the Grand Master think should be done?"

"The Imperial Forest Army cannot move. It must protect the palace and respond in the middle. In addition, order the border gates to strengthen defenses to prevent countries from taking advantage of the fire to loot, or Cai Guoming builds plank roads to cover up Chencang secretly.

Yao Jianye, governor of Kaiping County, was ordered to help defend Anyang.

What's more, Anyang has 30,000 elite soldiers, if they just stick to it, it is enough to deal with an army of 100,000. Your Majesty need not worry.

Moreover, Li Liang and Li Xian are both talents, with these two guarding Anyang, Anyang must be as stable as a mountain! "

"What the grand master said makes sense!" After Kong Xiang finished speaking, there was a group of sycophants immediately.

A trace of anger flashed in Li Yulong's eyes, but finally he did not speak.

A gleam of joy flashed in Wang Chuan's eyes - old guy, you are the one waiting for you! Just wait, when something happens in Anyang, I will definitely arrange a spacious and bright cell for you. Also, Li Xian, your time of death has arrived; if you dare to marry Xia Qingqing, hehe, I will kill you!

In the end, under the persuasion of Grand Master Kong Xiang, His Majesty the Emperor adopted the panacea-like strategy of "responsing to all changes with the same"; Fu Minghui went out to rectify the army so that he could fight at any time. At the same time, the emperor sent out everywhere to inform the local area to do a good job of defense.

After the short court meeting ended, Wang Chuan suddenly approached Li Yulong when they left, "Master Li, do you have time to talk?"

Li Yulong just hesitated a little, and then nodded with certainty.

At the same early morning hours, Cai Guo's General Wang Qisheng led 4,000 elite troops to easily "break through" the defense of Kaiping County, and more than 4,000 people swaggered into the territory of Daxia Kingdom.

After all the soldiers crossed the border safely, Wang Qisheng said with a smile to the military adviser Lu Yan: "As long as you grasp this handle, this Kaiping County will belong to Cai State in advance."

Lu Yan smiled confidently, "I think Li Xian and Li Liang were attracted by the border war. Hmph, the Kong family thought they were doing well, but they didn't know that all of this had already fallen into the prime minister's scheme. We Not only to plunder the Qingyun Valley, but also to take the opportunity to try the fighting ability of the Great Xia Kingdom.

When we succeed, as long as we announce that the Kong family helped us this time, it will inevitably cause civil strife in Daxia. At that time, an army of one million will go out to conquer the Great Xia Kingdom! "

"Yes. Let's go, let's hurry up and try to reach Qingyun Valley before dawn." General Wang Qisheng told the people around, "Pay attention, those talents, especially those from the research department, must be captured alive. If possible, capture Li Xian Also captured alive. The rest, all smashed!"

The team marched mightily, and the more than 4,000 people didn't make much noise, as if they were completely integrated into the night. After the team crossed the low and gentle hillside, they entered the Yellowstone Valley as Xu Ren expected.

The rocks in the Yellowstone Valley are uneven, and there are no established roads; it can only be said that it is relatively open and more suitable for marching and raiding.

Cai Guo's soldiers, who thought they had a plan, rushed into the attack without investigation-indeed, there was no time for them to investigate. However, for some narrow locations in the Yellowstone Valley, some people will simply check it; but for the wide locations, they are basically ignored.

After walking for more than ten miles, he was about to leave the Yellowstone Valley. Suddenly, General Wang Qisheng's heart trembled!

As a cultivator, as a cultivator at the Golden Core stage, Wang Qisheng believed in this inexplicable premonition.

"Be careful!" Wang Qisheng stopped.

"Pfft..." There was a muffled sound, and Wang Qisheng watched with his own eyes that the high-spirited strategist just now blossomed - his head blossomed!

boom! At this moment, there was a muffled sound.

"There's an ambush!" Wang Qisheng's face suddenly changed. How could there be an ambush? !
