Outside Cao Su's military tent, Taoist Qingxiao suddenly paid a visit.
"Master Cao."
Um?
Cao Su, who was practicing, opened his eyes.
Then he saw Taoist Qingxiao coming in a hurry with a sword on his back.
"Taoist Priest, why are you so flustered?"
Taoist Qingxiao looked serious.
"Lord Cao, there was a wave of spiritual power just now. It seems that someone is using Taoism to spy on the rebel camp. I suspect that there is another powerful monk in the Danjie stage in Guyue City."
When Wang Meng left, he also left Taoist Qingxiao with Cao Su.
He was worried that Cao Su's 5,000 men would not be able to withstand the tens of thousands of troops in Guyue City.
Cao Su still lacks sufficient understanding of the methods of this type of ascetic.
As for being watched in the middle of the night, he really didn't notice it at all.
Only after hearing Qing Xiao speak so bluntly did he realize the seriousness of the matter.
"Taoist Master, are you sure? It's not common for monks in the pill-forming stage."
"Although monks in the Danjie stage are not common, there are still many in Wanping Sect and Taoist Palace. Although the spiritual power fluctuations of that person just now were hidden, they were still captured by me. I will not make a mistake."
After saying that, Taoist Qingxiao opened his palm.
Only a faint green fluorescence was seen, like a firefly, flowing quietly in his hand.
When Cao Su saw that Qingxiao actually had physical evidence, he naturally believed what Qingxiao said.
In fact, he had made preparations long ago, and he could only conceal the truth about the rebel army for a while.
Cao Su immediately sent an order to Zhao Xi: "Zhao Xi, please order the lieutenant colonel and centurion of the army to come to discuss matters."
Zhao Xi immediately agreed.
Cao Su turned to Qingxiao and asked: "Taoist Master, will he notice that you have captured his spiritual power?"
Qingxiao smiled very confidently: "You don't know something, sir. My method is very subtle and it is impossible for ordinary practitioners to detect it."
........
Ancient Yue City.
On the city tower, Bai Cai and Gu Bo learned about the reality of the rebel army.
Gu Bo was so angry that he ordered his men and horses to rush out of the city at night and launch a night attack to defeat the rebels.
Bai Cai was not as impulsive as Gu Bo, but he was still very angry.
Unexpectedly, Elder Xi stopped the two of them directly.
"You two commanders, it's getting late today, so you'd better not use your swords lightly."
Are you teaching me how to fight?
What do you, a monk, know about the art of war?
Gu Bo was a little unhappy. He was already simmering with anger, but he was stopped by a layman. He suddenly became even more angry. If Elder Xi hadn't been a profound practitioner and had a respected position in the sect, he would have given him a slap in the face by now.
Bai Cai also looked ugly and said in a cold voice: "Elder Xi, don't worry. There are only 5,000 men and 50,000 men under my command. I can kill them all in no time."
Elder Xi smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Two commanders, although I don't understand the art of war, I dare to say that if you go to rob the camp tonight, you will definitely be ambushed by the other side."
What?
You don’t understand the art of war and you still want to curse us to defeat?
Gu Bo couldn't help it anymore, his eyes widened angrily, and he shouted loudly: "Elder Xi, isn't that true? Do you really look down on our ancient Yue Wanping Army so much?"
Bai Cai stopped Gu Bo, narrowed his eyes and remained silent.
Elder Xi was not afraid of the fierce Gu Bo at all. He shook his head and said: "You two handsome men, let's take a look at my spiritual bird."
Elder Xi swayed slightly, and the spiritual bird that had just flown out of the flag suddenly appeared from Elder Xi's body again, silently, and landed on Elder Xi's shoulder.
What's so cool about your bird?
Bai Cai was not interested at all, he just wanted to know what medicine Elder Xi sold in his gourd.
Elder Xi didn't have a few drinks just now, so he shouldn't be talking nonsense.
Elder Xi saw that these two people didn't understand at all, so he didn't give in and said directly: "This spiritual bird is the result of my hard work. It is separated from the magic weapon and stored in the spiritual platform. It can go to heaven or enter the earth."
, I clearly understand every change in the spirit bird."
"But just now, after the spirit bird entered the body, I clearly felt that the spirit bird was missing a little faint spiritual light."
"Ling Guang was captured by the monks in the rebel army. He should be the master of the Dao Palace you mentioned."
"Hmph, it's really amazing. It can actually detect my spirit bird."
"Both of you, so the rebel army knows that Pindao has already explored their camp, so they must be on guard tonight."
Everything Elder Xi said makes sense.
Only then did Bai Cai and Gu Bo understand why the elder objected to the two of them robbing the camp tonight.
That would have been the end of it if I said no, and I would have to look down on them.
Bai Cai's face softened and he said solemnly: "If the other party really knows that we have explored them, then they must be on guard tonight, and it is really not appropriate to rob the camp by force."
Gu Bo also calmed down at this moment and suggested to Bai Cai that they should fight again tomorrow.
"Brother Bai, why don't you gather your troops first and let the men prepare early? When it gets bright tomorrow, with three cannon blasts, we will directly attack the rebel army and flatten their camp."
Elder Xi worriedly said: "They won't carry the camp and escape overnight, right?"
Bai Cai shook his head and said: "No, if they run away, we can escape and go to Xun Mountain to fight. No matter how many fifty thousand troops I have, Qin Hu won't be able to hold them back."
I see.
Elder Xi had bright eyes. Although he didn't understand the art of war, seeing Bai Cai's confident look, he knew that what he said must be true.
Bai Cai accepted Gu Bo's suggestion and began to send orders to the three armies to prepare for war overnight.
.........
at the same time.
The rebel camp outside the city also began to become noisy.
The five thousand troops returned to their respective groups according to their establishment, and Cao Su urgently summoned middle- and high-level officers to directly issue military orders.
At daybreak, all the five thousand troops were integrated. The soldiers were fully dressed and walked out of the camp with Cao Su.
The bright flag was unfurled and the word "Cao" was flying in the air.
The sword is as long as a forest, and the blood is soaring to the sky.
Boom!!
There was only a sound of the suspension bridge falling down, and the gate of Guyue City, which had been closed for many days, opened.
Tens of thousands of soldiers from the city slowly walked out. Under the leadership of Bai Cai and Gu Bo, they formed a square formation and approached the rebel camp step by step.
"Woo——"
The thick and desolate sound of the horn resounded throughout the earth.
Cao Su rode a black war horse and passed in front of five thousand soldiers.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Brothers!"
His inner energy is powerful and his voice is like thunder.
The voice of the speech reached the ears of every soldier.
"The Wanping thieves came out of the city. After waiting for half a month, they finally stopped being 'cowardly'!"
"Today, the Wanping Army is wreaking havoc on the Central Plains, harming the people, burning my farmland, destroying my home. They are really the great thieves who have stolen the country. Everyone can find them and punish them!"
"As an army to fight against rebellion, our duty to fight against rebellion is decreed by the Emperor. Anyone who wins the rank of commander of the Wanping Army will be granted an official title and will receive a reward of five thousand taels!"
"Brothers, a man born in troubled times should carry a three-foot sword and make immortal achievements!"
“Today is the day to make great achievements!”
Cao Su rarely encouraged his subordinates, but it was different today. It was a risky move to face the opponent's army several times larger. He had to give his soldiers some blood first.
The effect of his speech was very good, and his inner strength had its own amplification, which made his words full of inspiration.
Five thousand sergeants responded with a roar, drawing out their swords one after another with a rainbow-like momentum.
At the same time, the sergeants arranged by Cao Su set fire to many fishing boats behind the camp.
The fishing boats that brought rations to the army and the stoves used for cooking were all sunk or set on fire by Cao Su. Li Li galloped on his horse and set fire around the camp. In front of all the sergeants, he completed this series with a dark face.
operate.
Li Li was scolded to death, but he was just a helpless tool.
Cao Su is the protagonist of "Burning the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat".
After the 5,000-strong army walked out of the camp gate, they saw the entire camp turned into a sea of fire, and there was not even a stutter on anyone's body.
Everyone looked at the camp that turned into a sea of fire after a moment, and fell silent.
Cao Su roared angrily: "Brothers, I am with you. Cao has no intention of retreating today. Only by moving forward, killing the enemy and entering Guyue can we gain a chance of survival!"
"Brothers, charge forward and charge into Guyue!"
"Come into Guyue!"
Amid Cao Su's roar, the five thousand troops were ignited with high morale. Now they had no way out and their brains were very hot. They had no choice but to follow Cao Su and fight for their lives!
The army rumbled across the wilderness, and Cao Su took the lead and rushed to the front.
The entire 5,000-strong army turned into a black arrow, piercing directly into the formation of the ancient Yue Wanping army that was advancing slowly.
But in the ancient Yue Wanping army formation, Bai Cai and Gu Bo were still complacent.
"The enemy's camp is on fire. God helps me!"
"Brothers, let's kill each other. The enemy's camp is on fire, and we are attacked from both sides. It's like one side is defeated."
A phalanx composed of fifty thousand troops advanced rapidly.
“Dong dong dong dong!!!”
The drummers of the two armies beat the war drums crazily, making a sound that urged the army to charge.
It was like two black torrents, rolling together after a moment.
"kill!!!"
In an instant, dark clouds covered the city.
The scorching summer heat stirs up a murderous aura that fills the north of the former imperial capital!
