Li Yunlong led a thousand men to Firestone City, bringing with him food and fodder for the entire army of 20,000 people.
It is said to be food and grass, but it is different from the food and grass used in ancient wars.
To put it bluntly, the food and grass in the cultivation world are mainly livestock, used as meat for the troops. As for inanimate things like food, they are naturally put into the space bag, so don’t worry about it (the space bag cannot contain living things)
thing).
After Li Yunlong left, Lei Ren, Ni Qiang and the other two hundred people immediately entered combat mode and rushed to the place where Su Chenglong was pursuing.
They did not dare to move closer to the dense forest over there. After all, if two hundred people were involved in a battle, they would be wiped out in almost a matter of minutes.
When they were still more than twenty miles away from the dense forest, the spies sent by Lei Ren came back in a panic and reported: "General Lei, as you expected, General Su, General Chen and the people of Liehuo City were attacked in the mountains and forests of the valley ahead.
When they arrived at the ambush, they were all vying for victory. They were attacked by others and suffered numerous casualties. They were already retreating!"
Lei Ren and Ni Qiang looked at each other and could only smile bitterly.
The expected thing still happened.
Su Chenglong died deservedly, but other people cannot be buried with him!
"Boss, what should we do? Should we go to support him?" Ni Qiang pursed his lips and asked.
Lei Ren shook his head: "When we go to support, it's just like a mantis trying to support a chariot. I guess the 20,000 people of the Fire Eagle Legion were defeated on purpose. Their ambush must have been at least 30,000. In such a large formation, we have 200 people to fill them in."
There isn’t even enough space between the teeth.”
Lei Ren was also a little at a loss at this time, and suddenly remembered that on the map, there was a huge canyon twenty miles behind the dense forest.
"Yes! If they retreat to the canyon, we can save their lives. If they don't retreat to the canyon, they will definitely die!"
Thinking of a plan, Lei Ren led two hundred people and rushed directly to the canyon.
This is a long and narrow canyon with steep cliffs on both sides.
This is an obvious ambush terrain, so the Fire Eagle Legion did not choose to ambush here, and Su Chenglong's pursuit route did not pass through this canyon, but passed through another plain area one mile away.
Now, if they are defeated, they will be taken away to the plains. In other words, if they return the same way, the Fire Eagle Legion will chase them to death without leaving any one behind.
And if you are walking from this side of the canyon, Thunder Blade has a way to block the pursuers behind you.
They were relatively close to the canyon, so they arrived early and started preparing according to Lei Ren's instructions.
After waiting for about half an hour, I finally heard the sound of the earth shaking in front of me. Then, Lei Ren looked from a distance and saw countless shadows of true energy jumping up and down, some moving forward, and some catching up.
, a mess.
And in the sky, there were dozens of ferocious beasts in front carrying soldiers to escape, and dozens of ferocious beasts in the rear were chasing after them ferociously!
Scenes like that are simply terrifying.
"Boss, they are General Chen Chao's men." The fleeing troops in front came closer, and Ni Qiang recognized the leader, Chen Chao.
Chen Chao drove one of his ferocious lion beasts and ran at the front.
At this time, his escape skills were maximized and he threw his men far behind.
"Everyone, follow us. When we get to the canyon, leave some people behind to stop the rear. One man is in charge, and no one can open it!" Chen Chao's voice roared from the other side of the canyon.
Lei Ren nodded, Chen Chao's idea coincided with his.
The canyon is long and narrow, and the space is very small. Even if the pursuers behind fly up and want to cross the canyon, it will be difficult to pass many people at once. At this time, Chen Chao's crossbowmen can play their role and directly shoot the flying enemy soldiers.
Already.
This is also the reason why the enemy troops behind are unwilling to fly after Chen Chao and others. Flying consumes a lot of energy. After landing, the energy is greatly consumed. They may not be able to defeat the deserters. In addition, the deserters have crossbows, so they will naturally
I'm not willing to take the risk.
Lei Ren saw that Chen Chao's men and horses in front were retreating rapidly. From the looks of it, there were thousands of them; and behind, there was a dense mass of darkness, all pursued by the Fire Eagle Legion, at least ten thousand or even twenty thousand!
After waiting for about a few minutes, Chen Chao's troops finally entered the narrowest area of the canyon. At this time, Chen Chao stopped and ordered the soldiers to stop: "Stop everyone! Anyone who dares to escape again will be killed!"
Chen Chao roared, and then ordered: "Those who are above the Divine Transformation stage, block here and condense the true energy barrier to stop the pursuers. Those below the Divine Transformation stage, retreat in an orderly manner!"
When Chen Chao was retreating, he organized troops to defend in the face of danger. In this regard, Lei Ren underestimated him.
However, just as he finished speaking, he heard a burly man shouting: "General Chen's troops can stay if they like. General Su's troops should retreat with me!"
Lei Ren recognized this burly man as Su Chenglong's best confidant, Shi Gang.
This person was in the early stage of the Little Immortal position and was also a general. His rank was nominally equivalent to Lei Ren and Chen Chao. However, he was a retainer of the Su family, a wealthy family in Xiandu City, so he did not appear in the court.
"Shigang, you!"
Seeing this moment, Shigang actually broke up the trouble and left his troops to break up the rear, but he himself ran away. Chen Chao was very angry.
"General Chen, thanks for your hard work, you've cut off the queen. I'll go bring reinforcements!" Shigang ignored Chen Chao's anger, laughed, and quickly fled the battlefield with about two thousand of his troops.
At this time, although Chen Chao was angry, he could not escape, because once he escaped, the pursuers behind him would catch up and he would still die. Especially if he missed this narrow terrain, it would be almost impossible to organize a defense in the future.
.
Boom!
The pursuers arrived, and the infuriating barrier formed by Chen Chao's men was strongly impacted!
Suddenly, the earth shook!
"No escape! Those who escape will be killed without mercy!"
Facing the huge pursuers, Chen Chao's men also began to flee. Chen Chao yelled and killed two soldiers, but to no avail.
He sat on the lion and beast, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Am I going to die here? It's unfair!"
"General Chen, please be patient. Reinforcements are coming!"
Just when Chen Chao roared and sighed, a voice filled with vitality echoed in the canyon. Not only Chen Chao heard it, but also the enemy on the opposite side heard it.
This is the sound of Thunder Blade.
Accompanied by the sound of Thunder Blade, Lei Ren and the other hundred people jumped directly from the top of the canyon. While Ni Qiang and the other hundred people stayed above the canyon, they threw the huge stones prepared early in the valley directly to the enemy's position.
Go down!
Boom!
Suddenly the sound was loud, the earth shook, and the entire canyon trembled!
