Chapter 315: Turtle in a Jar! Ambush in a Sea of Blood!
When Zhang Ping heard the word 'Jiang Che', his pupils shrank instantly and he asked in a condensed voice:
"Is it really Jiang Che? Have you ever seen him with your own eyes?"
The South Vietnamese general who was kneeling on the ground shook his head:
"My subordinates have never seen Jiang Che, but they have seen the flags displayed by those people. It is none other than the mighty general [Jiang]. Only then can we determine the identity of that person."
Zhang Ping felt a little unsteady for a moment and took a few deep breaths. If it was just a flag, he would naturally not believe it, but if it were combined with the current situation, it would not necessarily be true.
No wonder Jiang Che never showed up. It turned out that he was not at Tiannan Pass at all, but personally led an elite force to bypass them, go straight to Licheng, and cut off their escape!
"General, this matter is of great importance. We must prepare in advance!"
Zhou Yi said in a deep voice.
"Licheng has been destroyed, and it is difficult for you and me to atone for our sins. For now, we can only continue to attack the city and take Tiannan Pass to atone for our sins. Only in this way can Zhang have the face to meet the king."
Zhang Ping glared at the pass in the distance and said through gritted teeth.
"General, please don't forget that the most important thing about the order given by the King is to capture Jiang Che and the Scarlet-Blooded Demon Lord, not to waste time for a city.
Even if we can capture Tiannan Pass, how much should we lose? And now Jiang Che has boldly left Tiannan Pass and penetrated deep into our South Vietnam territory. This is the best opportunity to pursue him. "
Seeing that Zhang Ping seemed to have made the decision to attack the city, Zhou Yi immediately persuaded him.
"This general is the commander-in-chief of this army. You should obey my command in everything. After taking Tiannan Pass, you can then turn around and pursue Jiang Che." Zhang Ping raised his hand to stop Zhou Yi's persuasion.
He didn't know about the Dragon Veins, he only knew that Licheng had been conquered, and that his guilt was hard to atone for, so he had to perform meritorious deeds to avoid punishment.
Zhou Yi's eyes moved, he was silent for a moment, and then he took out a golden round token from his arms with the words "King of Yue" on it, which exuded great majesty.
"General Zhang, this is the king's secret order."
"You Zhou Yi, what do you mean?"
Zhang Ping opened his mouth and looked at the token in disbelief. He didn't expect that Zhou Yi still had this thing in his hand. The key is that he didn't know anything about it.
"The secret order was brought by the king on behalf of the great masters. If General Zhang insists on attacking the city, Zhou will have no choice but to carry out the king's order."
"Why does your Majesty insist on chasing Jiang Che? Give me another day, no, half a day, and I will definitely be able to break through this city gate and shake the morale of our South Vietnamese army."
Zhang Ping was very unwilling at this moment.
"I don't know about this, but what I do know is that if General Zhang doesn't obey the order, the other great masters will not take action. They have also received the order from the king."
Zhou Yi was half persuasive and half threatening.
Zhang Ping stared at Zhou Yi for dozens of breaths before he withdrew his gaze, put the sword in his hand back into the scabbard, and whispered:
"Send this general's order to withdraw the troops and return to the country to apprehend Jiang Che!"
"What's going on today? Why haven't these South Vietnamese barbarians attacked yet?" On top of Tiannanguan City, Gao Qinian frowned as he looked at the dark South Vietnamese soldiers ahead.
I don’t understand why everyone beat the war drum but never took action.
Such a weird scene made him feel unsure.
There are also many Tiannanguan soldiers who are also confused. They are confused and can't figure out what South Vietnam's plan is, but they are all prepared to take precautions.
"Look, they seem to be withdrawing their troops."
Suddenly, an exclamation rang out, attracting many looks.
In their eyes, the black torrent was retreating in an orderly manner, even taking away the tents.
"It seems that the boy Jiang Che succeeded." Qi Tianhe smiled and looked relaxed. He had already felt the pressure from yesterday's battle and even made a decision secretly.
Once Tiannan City is broken, he will immediately take away Qi Ningbing and Qi Wanjun instead of fighting here.
But that was a last resort decision. After all, he had promised Jiang Che.
But if South Vietnam takes the initiative to withdraw its troops, there will be no problem.
"It's a pity that our strength is too weak. Otherwise, if we take this opportunity to fight out, we will definitely defeat the enemy." Qi Wanjun said with a regretful look in his eyes. Their strength at the moment was barely enough to support Tiannan Pass.
Without the support of a large formation, going out of the city to fight would be a voluntary death.
Moreover, she still couldn't figure out whether the South Vietnamese side had withdrawn its troops. If it was a trick to lure the enemy, once it fell into the trap, Nanguan would really be over that day.
“It’s better to be on the safe side.”
Qi Tianhe shook his head.
Under Zhang Ping's order, more than 15,000 soldiers began to retreat in an orderly manner. After establishing a safe distance, he immediately led all the elite troops in the army to join Zhou Yi and several great masters of Shenxiang.
He rushed to Li City and even abandoned most of the army.
There is only one intention.
That is to find Jiang Che and kill him to avenge him.
But no one noticed that just behind Zhang Ping and his party, Taoist Shenxu was hanging far behind, covering his aura. When South Vietnam attacked the city yesterday, Taoist Shenxu had actually been hiding in the dark.
He wanted to wait for an opportunity to help South Vietnam break the formation and mess up the situation.
But what disappointed him was that Jiang Che really left Tiannan Pass. For this reason, he could only endure it. When he saw the South Vietnamese side starting to retreat, he knew that something might be wrong.
And this is indeed the case.
That kid Jiang Che led his troops to surprise attack on Licheng, an important town on the South Vietnamese border. The momentum was so huge that the South Vietnamese side had to retreat. However, this was exactly what he wanted, so he followed the South Vietnamese side.
Thinking of finding an opportunity to kill Jiang Che.
And with his strength, he is definitely enough to be that oriole.
"Based on the time, Zhang Ping and the others should have received the news."
Standing on another city gate in South Vietnam, Jiang Che thought to himself.
He deliberately left a way for Qi Huan to survive, just so that Zhang Ping could learn about the fall of Licheng in the shortest possible time, and then come to him in person.
And this matter is almost impossible to be wrong.
He knew very well that South Vietnam's target was him. To be precise, it was the dragon vein in the hands of the Red Blood Demon Lord. As long as this thing was in hand, it would have great appeal to South Vietnam.
The only uncertainty is whether other people who want to deal with him will take action.
In fact, Jiang Che's goal from beginning to end was the 'possible' attack from the Dragon Tiger Dao Sect. Otherwise, he would have guarded Tiannan Pass with the help of the Scarlet Blood Demon Lord and Ao Kun.
The South Vietnamese side had no chance of breaking through Tiannan Pass.
The reason why he traveled in such a big circle was just for the Dragon and Tiger Taoist Sect.
After several bad encounters, coupled with the curse, he could almost conclude that the Dragon and Tiger Taoist Sect would not let it go, especially since he was getting stronger and stronger now, and even had the Grand Master of Divine Appearance to protect him.
In other words, unless he dies, the Dragon and Tiger Taoist Sect will be in trouble.
If he were the leader of the Dragon and Tiger Taoist Sect, he would only attack more swiftly and fiercely.
Using himself to save others, he felt that he was 30% sure of catching a strong man from the Dragon and Tiger Taoist Sect this time.
In order to let his traces be detected, Jiang Che barely covered his tracks and even left a lot of traces along the way, just to let Zhang Ping find him.
Because now, news has come from Aokun's side that the ambush formation has been arranged.
Can be turned on at any time.
This means that Jiang Che's ambush plan can also begin.
Thinking of this, he hardly stopped. After bloodbathing this important town in South Vietnam, he immediately led his troops, leaving traces all the way to the ambush site he had prepared.
That place was chosen by the Red Blood Demon.
It is about a hundred miles away from Tiannan City and is located in a valley.
It is very suitable for setting up a formation to ambush, not only taking advantage of the geographical location, but also the timing, and that killing formation was a method that the Scarlet-Blooded Demon Lord was once very proud of.
Heaven and earth are destined to die without life and blood sea formation!
At that time, Jiang Che also asked the Scarlet-Blooded Demon Lord, whose name was so loud and cost him almost all his wealth, how powerful he was, and the Scarlet-Blooded Demon Lord's answer was...
In the late stage of the divine phase, there is no life or death.
The venerable person in the late stage of divine appearance has a narrow chance of death and a half-life.
Coupled with Ao Kun's help and Jiang Che's methods, it was basically impossible for the Martial Saint to get out of the formation as long as he was not too strong.
Back then, relying on this great formation, he used his cultivation in the middle stage of divine form to kill a venerable person in the late stage of divine form, and he became famous in the Central Plains ever since.
On the other side, after speeding all the way to Li City, Zhang Ping looked at the city wall that had been burned into pitch black, and became furious. After many searches, he finally determined Jiang Che's route.
After that, they quickly arrived at another important town.
Then, they saw a city washed by blood. Almost all the blood and essence of the soldiers had been drained away, leaving only strange mummies.
"Jiang Che is a thief, this general swears to capture you alive, drink your blood, and eat your flesh!"
Zhang Ping roared, his voice echoing in all directions.
"Tell me, where is Jiang Che?!"
In a mountain forest, Zhang Ping raised his hand and grabbed several Tiannan soldiers in the void, questioning Jiang Che's whereabouts at this moment. He had been chasing for half a day, but there was no trace of Jiang Che.
Either it suddenly appears or it suddenly disappears.
He was confused, but maybe he was lucky enough to find several of Jiang Che's men who had been forced to fall behind due to their own injuries in a mountain forest.
"Bah, barbarian dog thief!"
A young soldier spat with disdain.
But there were also people who showed hesitation and fear of death. But before he could make a decision, another middle-aged man with a broken arm shouted loudly:
"Zhu Zhu, the general's whereabouts cannot be revealed. If you tell us, the whole clan will be implicated. If you die in battle, you will still be able to receive compensation afterwards. Don't be confused."
"Noisy."
Zhang Ping waved his hand, and the man with the broken arm instantly exploded into a ball of blood mist.
Zhou Yi frowned:
"General Zhang, these are just ordinary soldiers. There is no need to waste time interrogating them. You will know it with your spiritual sense."
"You don't need to say more."
Zhang Ping glanced at Zhou Yi. He was indeed negligent in this matter. He immediately stopped giving a few people a chance, and their spiritual consciousness invaded their minds. Under the huge invasion of spiritual thoughts.
Several Tiannan soldiers, whose cultivation was not beyond the realm of bone forging, looked sluggish on the spot and suffered severe trauma.
"Bang"
Throwing a few people aside at any time, Zhang Ping looked at the people behind him and said:
"Found it. After that kid Jiang Che made a sneak attack on Licheng and Guancheng, he went straight towards Tiannan Pass. There were a large number of soldiers beside him. As expected, his speed will definitely not be much faster. I guess if he continues You can find him in less than thirty miles."
"Which direction?"
"Falling Maple Valley!"
Zhang Ping said word for word.
"In that case, what are you waiting for? Let's set off immediately."
A great master urged.
Before coming, the King of Nanyue had promised them that if they could capture Jiang Che and the Red Blood Demon Lord, they would be rewarded with two natural treasures each.
At this moment, they were already a little impatient.
"Wait. Is there a trick here? Jiang Che is a cautious person by nature, but this time he brought soldiers with him, which may be a problem." Zhou Yi looked at the dead soldiers of the Central Plains and suddenly said.
"Zhou Yi, you are not scared by this person, are you? Jiang Che is just a stray dog now, what tricks can he have? Even if there is, the four grandmasters joined forces.
Can't he be killed?
If he has this ability, there is no need to divide the troops for a sneak attack."
Zhang Ping snorted coldly, and was very unhappy about Zhou Yi's use of the King's token to clamp him. He always felt that Zhou Yi's purpose might not be that simple, but the key is that he couldn't figure out the truth no matter how hard he thought.
Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, and then apologized:
"General Zhang's words make sense, I must be too suspicious."
In the Falling Maple Valley.
Jiang Che sat cross-legged on a bluestone, with the Wanjie Demon Sword inserted in front of him. The breeze was blowing slowly. Everything was so peaceful that there was no sign that a fierce formation had been set up here.
"Boy, do you think they will be fooled?"
The Red Blood Demon Lord couldn't help asking.
They had been waiting here for more than half an hour.
All the accompanying soldiers were also dismissed by Jiang Che and stayed away from Luofeng Valley. If Zhang Ping and others didn't fall into the trap, and if the people from the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect didn't come, then this time they would lose a lot.
"If nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely be able to find it along the traces I left behind."
"What if something unexpected happens?"
"Then they can only count their good luck."
"You kid is really cruel. You spread all the news about Luofeng Valley to your soldiers just to fish, tut tut tut."
"They can't keep up, so they can only hide temporarily. I'm just in case."
"Hehe, don't explain. Explaining too much is hypocritical."
"Shut up, they are coming."
Jiang Che's eyes condensed slightly and looked into the distance.
"Do I need you to tell me? My consciousness is farther than yours."
Red Blood Demon Lord replied.
In the distance, a black cloud approached quickly, like a scene of doomsday, rumbling sounds, like thunder, and above the void, five figures stood.
It was Zhang Ping, Zhou Yi, and three other great masters of divine appearance.
"Demon, you dared to sneak attack the Licheng Guancheng when I was not prepared, and slaughtered my Nanyue soldiers. Today, we have reached your death!" Zhang Ping held a huge axe, with a terrifying momentum and a sound like a bell.
Jiang Che raised his head and saw that several people had entered the range covered by the formation. He grinned and showed a cruel smile:
"You are finally here, it is not in vain that I have been sitting here for a long time."
"Huh??"
When Jiang Che said this, Zhou Yi and others looked at each other, and they all felt a very dangerous feeling in their hearts.
Waiting for them for a long time?
What kind of accident is this?
Is there really a trick here?
The next moment, before they could react, blood-colored lines flashed on the ground, and blood-colored lights also lit up in the void.
In an instant, the blood sea covered the area.
Caught off guard, everyone was enveloped.
