Three hundred and ninetieth chapters before the war
In a snow-capped mountain forest, thousands of people were busy setting up camp.
This group of people is the army of the Dajiang Dynasty that sneaked into Dali territory. There were originally two thousand people. A few months later, they clashed with Dali again and again. Although they avoided fighting every time, they suffered a few casualties and now
There is only a little over a thousand left.
Especially in the past few days, we lost nearly 500 people at once, which is a heavy loss!
The mountains here are high and the forests are dense. The more than a thousand people hiding here are inconspicuous and cannot be noticed at all from a distance. It is an excellent place to hide.
The leader of this enemy army is called Pei Mo. He is less than forty years old. He is dressed in pitch black mail armor and is very heroic. His face is very cold, especially his eyes, which are like knives. Few of his men dare to look at him.
He has early stage Xiantian cultivation, and has been at this level for almost ten years. He has accumulated a lot of experience and is honed on the battlefield. He is also among the top at this level in the early stage of Xiantian.
Cultivation and strength are not equated. Pei Mo relied on his sharp Yunguang Sword Technique to kill many people in the middle stage of Xiantian. Even when facing the bottom of late stage Xiantian, he was confident that he would not lose miserably.
There is even a chance to counterattack!
On this day, Pei Mo and his subordinates moved the camp to this mountain forest.
In the cowhide tent that was set up for him first, Pei Mocuo noticed a map in his hand and drew a cross on a certain area on the map with a pen.
There are many places with crosses on the map, occupying most of the areas on the map. Those places with crosses are all areas where they have been stationed and searched before.
Looking at the area where they were currently located on the map in his hand, Pei Mo's eyes flickered with endless anticipation. At the same time, there was also a look of ambition brewing in his eyes.
'There are not many places left. Even if the thing cannot be found around this place, the remaining places can be searched for at most a month. Once I get that thing, not many people will be able to stop my rise!'
Recalling the message left by his deceased grandfather, Pei Mo's heart felt hot and he thought of the bright future.
Forty years ago, the Dajiang Dynasty and the Dali Dynasty almost went into full-scale war as they do now, and the cause was what Pei Mo is looking for now.
The reason why there was no real fight back then was because the thing disappeared and the two sides ended up settling the matter.
Strictly speaking, that thing did not disappear, but was secretly taken away by people from the Dali Dynasty and hidden somewhere, and that place was an area of several hundred miles around Luocao Slope.
Along with that item, the Dali troops who took it away also disappeared...
That thing almost triggered a full-scale war between the two countries back then. Why did it take Pei Mo's turn to look for it after so many years? Logically speaking, it should have been obtained by Dali a long time ago. If not, the Dali Dynasty should have tried its best to search for it in recent years.
.
Pei Mo knew the reason.
His grandfather was a personal participant in that incident. From the message left by his grandfather, Pei Mo knew the reason.
Not many people knew about that thing at first, and because the thing fell into the hands of people from the Dali Dynasty, the Dajiang Dynasty did not hesitate to spend great efforts to kill everyone who knew about it, including both the enemy and ourselves!
Therefore, that thing was sealed in history.
Pei Mo's grandfather also died in the Dajiang Dynasty's annihilation operation, but he secretly recorded the truth. Later, Pei Mo found out that he had always hidden this secret in his heart, and imagined that one day he would get the original thing.
Until now, Pei Mo felt that his strength was no longer weak, his status was no longer high, and the time was ripe. The higher-ups wanted to send people to stir up trouble in the Dali Dynasty. He couldn't bear it anymore and volunteered to come. The real purpose was to find that thing.
thing.
That thing was left behind by a real person from the Dajiang Dynasty. The real person from the Dajiang Dynasty was equivalent to the mythical master from the Dali Dynasty.
That thing was left behind by the Dajiang Dynasty master when he was dying. It can be said that a lifetime of hard work was condensed. For that thing, the master worked hard and lived nearly a hundred years shorter than other people in the same realm to complete it.
He succeeded, but died from exhaustion.
When he was dying, the real person wanted to contribute something to the Dajiang Dynasty to increase its national power, but the news was learned by the hidden ant tower members of the Dali Dynasty, and then they took it away unexpectedly...
In order to recover that thing, the Dajiang Dynasty did not hesitate to launch heavy troops, and Dali also sent a large army to respond. In the end, there was a battle at the border. In the confrontation between the two armies, the thing disappeared.
Before the members of the Dali Ant Tower who snatched the thing could explain what it was, they were chased to death by people from the Dajiang Dynasty. And because the thing disappeared, Dajiang was afraid that Dali would know about it.
Because of the importance, we simply killed the insiders on both sides, so in the end it was settled.
Pei Mo knew from the message left by his grandfather that the things did not disappear, but were secretly escorted away by a small elite force from Dali. However, the force disappeared without a trace after arriving at Luocao Slope.
, as if the world has evaporated.
So, now Pei Mo came to look for him.
His grandfather was the one who secretly followed the Dali escort army. When he went back and learned that the higher-ups were purging people who knew the truth, he knew that he would die, so he left the truth and the general location of the disappearance of the Dali army in a secret place, and then
There's no after that……
Back then, people from the Dali Dynasty robbed a real person from the Dajiang Dynasty who worked hard and almost triggered a national war. In the end, he gained and lost it. It was not a glorious thing after all, and everyone who knew the truth was dead, so the world only knows that it almost happened
They started a full-scale war, but they don’t know the specific reasons.
With this information flashing through his mind, Pei Mo was looking forward to what his predecessor had left behind.
He also only knew that it was something that a real person worked hard and sacrificed his life to create. The specific content would only be known after he obtained it.
"Back then, the high-level officials eliminated everyone who knew the truth, and there was no way to find things that were lost in Dali. Dali didn't even know what they were, and they didn't know where they were lost, so they didn't care too much.
, and I am probably the only one who knows the general location of where the things were lost, this is my chance!"
Thinking secretly in his heart, Pei Mo raised his head, looked outside the tent and said in a deep voice: "Here comes someone!"
"What are your orders, general?" As soon as he finished speaking, a personal guard came in, not daring to look directly into his eyes.
Pei Mo said: "How is the situation now?"
"General, the camp is almost ready. The next step is to send out manpower to search the surrounding suspicious places," the guard replied.
Nodding, Pei Mo said: "Well, the old rule is to dig three feet into the ground and search a thirty-mile radius area in three days. Don't worry if you encounter Dali's army. Just avoid fighting. It's ours to find things."
Purpose"
"My subordinate understands. Does the general have any other instructions?" the guard said solemnly.
With thoughts flickering in his mind, Pei Mo narrowed his eyes and said, "Chief Zhang and the others went there and never came back. Is there any news?"
"Go back to the general, this matter is being investigated. There is a high probability that Captain Zhang and the others will never come back," the guard shook his head and said.
After pondering for a while, Pei Mo said: "There are some innate ones among them, and they never come back. It seems that the plan failed. Zhou Dahu is a person. Don't pay attention to it. After you find what I want, I will get rid of it when I leave."
,Go down”
After the guards left, Pei Mo looked at the map again and thought to himself, where are you? I can feel that I am getting closer to you...
On the other side, after learning where the Dajiang Dynasty army was stationed, after a brief discussion, Zhou Dahu personally led the army to quietly come here, intending to annihilate them in one fell swoop to complete the mission.
On the way to the large troops, the scouts would always give feedback on the situation ahead to avoid alerting the enemy.
This time the troops marched very fast. In addition to knowing the exact location, they also had sledges, which were sharp tools in the snow. The soldiers marched on the sledges and did not have to waste energy on walking. Even if they started to work as soon as they arrived at the location, there was no problem.
"According to the report from the spies, the enemy troops are stationed in a mountain forest. There is a mountain on one side of that place, which is usually difficult for ordinary people to climb, let alone the thick snow now. But there is a place more than ten miles north of them.
The canyon is a hundred feet wide and is so steep and bottomless that any innate expert would be smashed into a pulp if he fell. Therefore, that direction is a dead end. In other words, our army only needs to guard two directions, and they will be unable to fly.
, According to the plan we have deduced many times before, after we arrive, we will block off the two directions. Don't rush in at that time, sneak up on them, kill them by surprise, and be sure to annihilate them in one fell swoop!"
On the march, Zhou Dahu discussed with the main members of the army the next plan to annihilate the enemy.
Yun Jing and Hou Xicai also followed, but Lu Wencheng stayed in the camp. He learned from the logistics Mr. Deng, so things like going on an expedition did not fall on him.
Adjutant He frowned and said: "I'm afraid it's not easy to approach secretly. The sky is completely white and we are too conspicuous."
"That's true, but this is the best opportunity. We can only get as close as possible. If we miss this time, we don't know when we will go there next time. Once they find something and leave, we will be the least likely to blame them.
They all were beaten into little soldiers," Zhou Dahu also said in confusion.
Yun Jing said: "You don't have to be so entangled. The enemy didn't know that we knew their whereabouts in advance, and the place we chose was probably for the convenience of finding things. We didn't think too much about the situation where we would send out the entire army to encircle and suppress us. Our
People have already known the location of their sentries in advance, so they can get rid of them first and then use the cover of the woods. I'm afraid they won't react until they touch them right under their noses."
"Young Master Yun is right. This is the advantage of early deployment. Thanks to Mr. Yun this time, if you hadn't analyzed their location in advance, you might have had to deal with it for a long time, or they might have found something and left."
, Zhou Dahu looked at Yunjing and said gratefully, thinking that if Yunjing had come earlier, that group of enemy troops might have been taken care of long ago.
Yun Jing shook his head and said: "General Zhou is serious, I am just talking. I can know their whereabouts in advance, thanks to the soldiers who went to investigate."
After a pause, Yun Jing continued: "Having said that, it shouldn't be a big problem to destroy the enemy. On the contrary, I am a little curious about what they are looking for. They almost triggered a national war in the past."
"No matter what they are looking for, killing them is our goal. After so many years, there has been no movement from the upper levels. Thinking about it, it is not worth mentioning. But if we have a chance to capture the leader of the enemy army, it will be.
Let’s take a chance to find out more,” Zhou Dahu said with a smile.
Just talk about catching the enemy leader. From the known information, that person is very dangerous. It is best to kill him as soon as possible. And even if he is just killed, it will probably cost a lot!
At noon, Yunjing and the others had appeared three miles away from the enemy.
At this distance, if we advance any further, we may be noticed by the opponent at any time, so Zhou Dahu ordered his troops to reorganize and deploy, first to deal with the enemy's sentry, and then to quietly surround him and catch him off guard.
With such a close distance between the two sides, every move of the enemy can be said to be under Yun Jing's observation.
Unfortunately, what they were looking for did not happen to be known to Yunjing.
