Chapter 276 Successfully ambushed and went around behind the enemy
As night slowly fell, some monsters bravely came to the stove to pick up leaks. After eating and drinking, they urinated on the heads of some unlucky soldiers. But even though their heads were full of stinky smell, no one made a sound.
, just gritted his teeth and endured it.
After discovering the Ancient Palace Clan team, the soldiers at the front retreated in accordance with Mao Qi's order. However, until they retreated to the Shanhe Fortress, they did not find the 7,000 people who had stayed behind. They were wondering where they had gone.
The soldiers hiding in the cave did not know day or night, they only knew how to pass the day like a year, and everyone experienced the four seasons of warm, hot, cool and cold.
Just as everyone was enduring the torment, a rumbling vibration came from the distance. As the vibration got closer and closer, the torment slowly turned into tension, and the hearts of the people in the cave were in their throats.
After the pioneers of the Gudian tribe discovered the marching stove left by Mao Qi and others, they reported the situation to the Marshal Gu Xun of the expedition.
After hearing the report, ancient teachings told the vanguard to retreat 500 meters first.
According to the ancient teachings, the ancient mountain tribe should huddle in the defense of Shanhe Village at this time, waiting for the arrival of the crusade army. However, judging from the situation of the scouts in the past two days, first there was a small team, and now it is a marching stage, indicating that
The Gushan tribe had already dispatched a team. This unexpected move made Gu Xun a little more interested in the war and a little more worried in his heart.
Most of the generals of the Gudian tribe felt that there was no need to worry about the ancient teachings. Three hundred thousand troops were approaching from three directions. Even if they encountered an ambush, as long as they were not on a cliff, they could be surrounded and destroyed in a moment.
Gu Xun carefully analyzed the terrain ahead and the ambush methods the opponent might use. He had a 100% chance of winning, and a complete victory. But there was another possibility, that is, they were not ambushing, but setting up a trap.
The analysis of ancient teachings was instantly recognized by the vast majority of generals.
In order to verify his idea, Gu Xun personally investigated the terrain.
Looking at the ups and downs in front of us, with few trees and piles of rocks, although the terrain is complex and changeable, it is not suitable for setting up an ambush. Because overall, the terrain here seems too flat and does not have the terrain advantages required for an ambush, but it is suitable for setting up an ambush.
trap.
If the opponent is preparing to set up an ambush, they will not take the initiative to reveal their whereabouts. However, these marching stoves are now preserved, which are obviously the opponent's enchantment formations. Gu Xun carefully observed several nearby stoves and found that there were monster feces next to the stoves.
, I feel more certain about my analysis.
This place is only 20 kilometers away from Shanhe Village. Originally, Gu Xun planned to use this place as a temporary command location, but now he can only change his mind. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly made a bolder decision, that is, to move forward 15,000 meters.
meters, the command building was built on the mountain opposite Shanhe Village.
Just as the plan in Gu Xun's mind had just been formed, several guards discovered a trap, and this discovery just confirmed his conjecture. However, in order to completely uncover the other party's conspiracy, Gu Xun was ready to conduct an in-depth investigation.
But Gu Xun's idea was blocked by the guard captain. Because the duty of the guard is to protect the safety of Gu Xun. Although they are not afraid of the Gushan tribe, Gu Xun's current position is indeed too far forward. There are not many experts around him at this time.
If they were really besieged by the opponent's masters, the variables would be too great, and they would definitely not be able to bear any uncertainty.
At the moment when Gu Xun hesitated, someone touched the mechanism, and a guard who was half a step too slow to react was pierced by an arrow in the thigh. The sudden change made the entire guard team tense instantly, and they quickly retreated to protect Gu Xun.
.
Although Gu Xun was not afraid of enemy attacks, he still issued an order for the vanguard to bypass the range of the marching stove and continue to advance.
At this time, the nearest Gushan soldier held his breath, his body was covered with sweat, his heart was beating violently, his head was blank, and his hands and feet were as weak as if his soul had left his body.
In fact, it's not that Mao Qi never thought about capturing the thief first and capture the king first, he just held back. Because he knew that once he took action, everyone here would not be able to get out alive, and he was not sure that the king just now would be dead.
He must be a real king.
Even though Gu Xun gave the order, there were still some brave soldiers from the ancient palace who walked directly through the marching stove for the sake of convenience. The soldiers from the ancient mountain hid in hidden caves. After experiencing the initial fear, they gradually adapted to the enemy.
The sound of action.
As the number of soldiers from the ancient palace outside the cave became fewer and fewer, Mao Qi finally issued the order to attack.
Upon hearing the order to attack, the Gushan soldiers, who had long been unable to hold back, jumped out of their caves. Regardless of fatigue, they pounced on the enemy like tigers.
At this time, what was passing by was the logistics supply team of the Gudian tribe. With the soldiers in front clearing the way, in order to save physical strength, these logistics teams chose to pass through the ambush area of the Gushan tribe. They were still worried about being discovered by Guxun and being punished.
.
Being suddenly attacked, the soldiers of the ancient palace were frightened and became confused. Although the soldiers of the ancient mountain stayed in the cave for two nights and one day, they were caught by surprise and the opponent was a logistics team with relatively weak combat effectiveness. After a fight,
, beheaded more than 3,000 people.
"Stop the pursuit. Take what you can and burn what you can't." Seeing the soldiers in the ancient palace fleeing, Mao Qi ordered.
After hearing Mao Qi's order, Gushan's soldiers were a little puzzled and thought that they should pursue the victory. However, thinking back, the military orders were overwhelming, so they had to stop the pursuit, reluctantly took the spoils, and then burned the remaining provisions.
After experiencing the initial panic, the soldiers of the ancient palace gradually came to their senses and launched a counterattack together with the soldiers who came to the rescue.
Mao Qi led the Gushan soldiers and ran all the way. These soldiers were already extremely tired, especially after experiencing the battle just now.
Mao Qi was also very depressed. These pursuers had chased for nearly fifteen kilometers, but they still didn't give up. Seeing this, Mao Qi had to stop and prepare to break up the rear.
Seeing that Mao Qi was about to be cut off again, Shan Ping also wanted to stay; seeing that Shan Ping was staying, the members of Shan Kui's vanguard also wanted to stay.
The other soldiers were confused about Mao Qi's behavior and began to speculate. Because in their knowledge, there would never be a situation where the commander would be single and cut off his post.
"Shan Ping, execute the order." Mao Qi's face turned gloomy. Now he was deep behind enemy lines. Everywhere was full of danger. If he was not careful, he would lose everything.
Seeing Mao Qi's anger, Shan Qi had no choice but to lead the team and move on. The dissatisfaction and complaints among the team began to spread. When these comments reached Shan Qi's ears, Shan Qi instantly became irritable.
"Shut up, everyone. If you don't want to live, just stay. And you should know very well who is suffering these hardships for. Anyway, it is not for me, Shanqi."
Although Shanqi's words don't sound good, they are very effective.
"Captain Shanqi, you said that we had just won the battle and had not yet had time to collect the spoils, so we ran away like this desperately. Why?" A general who was awakened by Shanqi's scolding asked in confusion.
After hearing the general's question, Shan Qi was speechless and cursed a pig head in his heart. But he still explained to him seriously.
After hearing Shanping's explanation, the general woke up from a dream, and all the fatigue in his body was gone. Before that, he had always thought that he was hiding in the cave to fight an ambush, so he didn't understand why Maoqi wanted to retreat.
"If Marshal Mao Qi stays, wouldn't it be more dangerous?" His tone was full of worry at this time, and there was no longer any complaint.
Shanqi glanced at this guy with approval, but without explaining, he just urged the team to speed up.
Before the ancient palace army even approached Shanhe Village, both wings were attacked, and even the logistics team was attacked. Two or three changes occurred in succession, and the situation began to be beyond the control of ancient teachings.
Although he admitted that he underestimated the strength of the Gushan tribe, Gu Xun actually showed a strange smile on his face and murmured to himself: "This is more interesting."
After listening to the battle report, Gu Xun retracted his smile and issued a series of orders with a serious expression: "Suspend the attack on both wings; stop pursuing the ambush team, tighten the team, and strengthen the logistics protection; before tonight, we must be on that mountain peak.
A temporary command post has been set up."
As for the ancient palace team that was chasing Mao Qi's team, they felt more and more powerless as they chased after them, and now there are less than 3,000 people left in pursuit.
But even though there were only 3,000 people left, they still did not pay attention to the team of the Ancient Mountain Tribe, and just sighed that they could not catch up.
"Shicheng Fang, should we continue to chase?" a general asked depressedly.
"No more chasing. They are just a bunch of cowards who only know how to run away and have blinded so many people in vain." Gushi City Defense said contemptuously.
Having said that, he was about to lead the team back when news came from the front that the enemy had been discovered.
This news instantly made Gu Shi's interest soar. A hallucination of being rewarded for meritorious service appeared in his heart. He shouted and prepared to fight, and quickly came to the front of the team.
But when he saw the enemy in the distance, Gu Shi was stunned, because there was only one enemy on the big rock in the distance. This scene reminded him of the scene where he was ambushed just now. So he looked at Mao Qi with both eyes.
Among the plants and trees behind him, he suddenly saw that a tree behind Mao Qi seemed to be shaking, and he became frightened in his heart.
"It's the same old thing again. I'm really easy to deceive. The front army changed to the rear army and retreated in an orderly manner." After hesitating for a moment, Gu Shi's courage was exhausted, and he forgot about meritorious service and awards, and quickly issued the order to retreat.
Order.
Seeing the enemy retreating, Mao Qi breathed a sigh of relief, dispersed the condensed realm energy, then increased his speed to the extreme, and chased in the direction where Shanping and others retreated.
"Shanping City Defense, I heard that you are very familiar with Marshal Maoqi. Can you tell me his story?" Although tired, some soldiers became interested in Maoqi.
When it came to the topic of Mao Qi, Shan Ping also became interested, but when he was about to speak, he didn't know where to start. After holding back for a long time, he only said two sentences. One was about unfathomable strength, and the other was about hunting ability.
It’s still unfathomable. I gave two examples at the same time. One was the feeling of challenging Mao Qi for the first time; the other was that he didn’t have enough to eat for three months and solved it half a day after meeting Mao Qi.
Although Shanping's speech was not lively, the soldiers listened very seriously, and the more they listened, the more they felt at ease. As he was speaking happily, Mao Qi had already rushed back to the team.
As soon as he returned, Mao Qi asked Shanping to immediately select the top 100 soldiers in the realm, set up sentries along the road according to the mutual cooperation between dark and bright posts, and let the other soldiers rest in place.
