Chapter 487: Suzaku Shengdao Three-Rank Skill - Nine Ghost Cars
On the barren mountains, among the rocks, patches of wheat grew.
The soldiers peeled the grains from the ears of wheat and chewed them directly in their mouths.
No cooking is required. For soldiers who are about to starve to death, these wheats are the best delicacies.
For these grains, all cultivators of fifth grade and above are exhausted to the point of exhaustion, but they don't have much time to rest.
It was already dark, and there was still a fierce battle waiting for them.
There is no possibility of victory in this fierce battle. The only thing they can do is to let the soldiers leave as alive as possible.
Yan Huan ordered everyone: "I will break out to the south first. When the enemy troops gather in the south, you can rush to the east."
He wanted to use himself as bait to attract enemy troops.
A fourth-grade cultivator shouted: "Da Fengchang, it's not your place to do this. None of us are afraid of death. Let's rush east, and you and the sergeants will fight out a way out!"
Yan Huan said: "Who said you are afraid of death? I am reluctant to let you die! I have to let you live!
Our good sons and daughters of Dayu have to stay alive, and we have to count on you to drive out all the poisonous species in the future!"
"Da Fengchang!" A fifth-level cultivator shouted, "You can't die. If you die, our backbone will be gone!"
Yan Huan smiled and said: "What the hell, who said I'm going to die? I have a third-level cultivation, how can I die so easily! I have a way to escape. As long as you all live well, I won't die!"
…
In the camp, Xiao Songting was doing divination with a fortune teller.
As the hexagram gradually became clear, Ju Liang asked, "Xiao Situ, is this hexagram good or bad?"
Xiao Songting smiled and said: "It's a sign of good luck, there will be a war tonight, and the enemy will break through tonight!"
Ju Liang heard this and stood up quickly: "Since we have seen the hexagram, we should let the sergeants send troops earlier."
Xiao Songting smiled and said: "Why send troops? Didn't I say that before? Let the enemy stretch his neck and die. The enemy is in a desperate situation with only one way to die. Why should our army be entangled with a group of trapped beasts? Order the sergeant
, send additional patrols and prepare for formation."
The messenger received the order and walked out of the camp.
Xiao Songting's camp is very ordinary and looks no different from an ordinary military tent.
The messenger walked out of Xiao Songting's military tent and walked into the Chinese army's tent.
There were no officers in the Chinese army's tent, only a few other messengers.
An orderly soldier left the Chinese army's tent, walked to the tower, waved a flag, and ordered each battalion to send additional patrol posts and prepare to form formations.
…
Han Chen used a magic circle to cover Xu Zhiqiong and others, and watched silently not far from the military camp.
This is the strength of a third-grade Onmyoji.
They were only more than 200 steps away from the enemy camp, but the enemy was unaware of it.
Han Chen lowered his voice and said, "Have you seen the location of the Chinese army's tent?"
The Chinese army's large tent is the key to this battle!
They were on a higher ground, and Xu Zhiqiong's eyesight was very good. Not only could he see the Chinese army's tent, but he could also clearly see every move of the ordering soldiers.
The messenger came down from the tower and strode back to the central military tent.
Seeing that Xu Zhiqiong was silent, Han Chen asked again: "Have you seen it clearly?"
Liang Zhenjie turned into a mist and whispered in Xu Zhiqiong's ear: "I always feel something is wrong, but I don't know what is wrong."
Han Chen frowned and said, "Let's listen together if you have something to say!"
Liang Zhenjie thought he was hiding well, but in fact Han Chen had sensed his presence long ago.
Han Chen also knew that Xu Zhiqiong's Taoist sect was special, so he didn't ask about some things.
Xu Zhiqiong frowned, and he also felt that something was not quite right.
Not long after, a messenger walked straight into the Chinese military tent.
After a while, another messenger came out, climbed up the tower and shouted the semaphore again.
The Gu tribe continues to increase patrol posts.
Order soldiers coming in and out, this is very common in the Chinese army's big tent.
Han Chen frowned and said, "What abnormality did you see?"
Liang Zhenjie also stopped covering up: "I always feel that the messenger should not look like that."
Han Chen was puzzled: "What should the messenger look like?"
Liang Zhenjie couldn't answer, but when he saw the ordering soldiers coming in and out several times, Wu Shanxing, who was standing aside, finally saw the flaw.
"This messenger is too casual. Look at the way he walks. There are no rules at all. How can he look like he is entering a Chinese military tent?"
Liang Zhenjie fought all his life, and Xu Zhiqiong and Han Chen also spent time in military camps, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they all have a certain status in the military.
Going in and out of the Chinese military tent is nothing special for them.
But Wu Shanxing has always been a low-level officer, and entering and leaving the Chinese military tent is a very serious and important matter for him.
"Look at him going in again, with his head held high and his chest held high. How can he look like a messenger?"
Liang Zhenjie finally understood: "The strange thing is not the messenger, but the Chinese military account. This Chinese military account is fake.
I have seen this kind of camp on the battlefield before. The real Chinese military tent is not here, it is mixed in the military tent, so that the other side cannot detect it, and a fake Chinese military tent is used as a cover in front, which is best for dealing with breakouts and hijacking camps."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiqiong's heart began to stir again.
He took out the copper coins and tossed them casually. Five coins came up heads up, which increased his chances of winning.
Only then did they discover a piece of key information that could determine victory or defeat!
Han Chen puzzled and said, "What hexagram are you predicting?"
Xu Zhiqiong lowered his voice and said: "Brother Han, you use the magic circle to protect me. I will go to the enemy camp to take a look."
Han Chen said in shock: "Why are you crazy? It's full of Gu seeds. Once discovered, you will definitely come back without your life!"
Xu Zhiqiong must find the real Chinese military tent, otherwise the battle cannot be fought.
He insisted on going, but Han Chen had no choice but to build a magic circle and slowly extended it to the edge of the military tent.
Xu Zhiqiong's heart was stirred again, and he felt as if several copper coins were turning over in his arms.
"We can't go any further, the magic circle ends here."
Han Chen hurriedly stopped, not knowing what Xu Zhiqiong's intention was.
Xu Zhiqiong had a hunch that if he continued to move forward, Han Chen's formation would be noticed by the enemy, and all preparations would be in vain.
He walked along Han Chen's formation to the edge of the enemy camp, clutched the hidden mirror, hid his figure, and quietly entered the enemy camp.
A patterned soft whip suddenly appeared in front of Xu Zhiqiong. Xu Zhiqiong held his breath and remained motionless.
The soft whip hovered around Xu Zhiqiong for a moment and then was suddenly taken away.
Looking along the whip, Xu Zhiqiong saw a row of short and wide armors extending forward.
This isn't armor, it's a bug's back armor.
It was a centipede, a centipede more than one foot long, lying on the ground, more than two feet high.
The soft whips I saw just now are the tentacles of a centipede.
The tentacles could sense Xu Zhiqiong's breath. Before the centipede was fully aware, Xu Zhiqiong carefully walked around the centipede and continued walking towards the military tent.
The ground suddenly trembled, and Xu Zhiqiong almost fell. A dark worm emerged from the ground, two feet in diameter and two feet long. It circled around Xu Zhiqiong and slowly left.
It crawled to a sergeant and rubbed the sergeant's back, trying to stutter.
The sergeant, with a mouth full of sharp teeth, was chewing on a sambar deer, sucking a mouthful of brains. He looked extremely satisfied and ignored the worms behind him.
The worm rubbed against the sergeant for a long time, but there was no response.
It suddenly stood up, opened its toothless mouth, suddenly thrust its head, and took the sergeant's head into its mouth.
The sergeant couldn't scream and could only struggle hard. A sergeant next to him scolded him twice, and the worm was also obedient and spit out the sergeant's head.
Unfortunately, the sergeant's head had lost all flesh and blood, and his brains had been sucked dry. There was only a clean skull left on his neck, but his body was still squirming.
When fighting against the Gu tribe, Xu Zhiqiong would not be surprised at what kind of monsters he encounters.
He came to the fake Chinese military tent and quietly observed the order soldiers coming in and out.
He didn't care where the messengers went, he just wanted to see where they came from.
After observing the meal, Xu Zhiqiong saw two messengers walking out of an ordinary military tent and entering the fake Chinese military tent.
Is this ordinary military tent the real Chinese military tent?
Xu Zhiqiong approached the military tent. He had just taken two steps when his heart suddenly felt full again!
He curled up and looked around, but saw a familiar figure walking towards the military tent from a distance.
This figure almost made Xu Zhiqiong's hair stand on end. The hidden mirror certainly couldn't hide from his eyes. Xu Zhiqiong immediately used the invisibility technique to leave the military camp at an extremely fast speed.
Sui Zhi!
He's actually here!
The biggest enemy was not discovered!
He has the third-level cultivation of Gluttonous Taoist and the fifth-level cultivation of military strategist. His existence was not taken into account in the tactics jointly formulated by Xu Zhiqiong and Liang Zhenjie. This is a very fatal problem.
A fake Chinese military tent.
An overlooked superpower.
Xu Zhiqiong suddenly thought of the two copper coins with their backs facing up.
The two copper coins with their backs facing upward are some kind of hints, hinting at two decisive factors.
The first time I encountered those two copper coins, I knew it.
This proves that I have the ability to perceive these two decisive factors.
Wu Shanxing discovered the problem of the messengers, Liang Zhenjie discovered that the Chinese military account was fake, and Xu Zhiqiong was heartbroken again.
After the divination, a copper coin turned face up, which proved that Xu Zhiqiong had grasped an element.
After meeting Sui Zhi, Xin Ji once again proved that Xu Zhiqiong had obtained another element!
…
Sui Zhi looked around the military tent and felt that there seemed to be a strange smell just now.
If the military camp was a little quieter, Xu Zhiqiong would never be able to escape Sui Zhi's perception.
It happened that everyone in the camp was waiting for the battle, and the soldiers were in a commotion. Sui Zhi did not find Xu Zhiqiong, but he always had some worries in his heart. After entering the military tent, he still looked out from time to time.
Xiao Songting had just finished calculating this hexagram and exclaimed: "It's really a good fortune, tonight is bound to..."
Before he finished speaking, Sui Zhi walked up to Xiao Songting absentmindedly and accidentally kicked over the book.
The calculations were scattered on the floor. Xiao Songting looked up at Sui Zhi and said, "Da Sima, what has disturbed your mind?"
Sui Zhi turned around and said, "I just noticed a strange energy. I'm worried..."
"Are you worried that the enemy will break through tonight?" Xiao Songting said with a smile, "Da Sima really knows things like a god, but it is exactly the same as the hexagram."
Upon hearing that the enemy was about to break out, Sui Zhi looked at the barren mountain and said: "Yan Huan is of the third grade after all. It is a desperate battle, but it is difficult to fight. You need to find a few people to help me."
Xiao Songting nodded: "Don't worry, Da Sima. I have prepared sixteen masters for Da Sima, all of whom have fourth-level cultivation."
Sui Zhi added: "After this battle, I want to go to the former residence of Exing to have a look, and I hope that Situ Xiao will give you some advice."
Xiao Songting lowered his voice and said: "When the war is over, Xiao must inform the Grand Sima of everything he knows. But whether he can do so depends on the Grand Sima's methods."
…
Xu Zhiqiong returned to the original place, let out a long breath and said, "We found the location of the Chinese army's tent."
He made some dots on the ground, and everyone could see the position clearly. Liang Zhenjie sighed: "If I hadn't accidentally discovered this flaw, I would have suffered a big loss in this battle."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Besides this flaw, there is another important thing. There is a third-level cultivator in the enemy camp, who is the Great Sima of the Sui Dynasty."
"Sui Zhi?" Han Chen was surprised, "He is a ruthless man. It seems that I have to deal with him alone."
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "Although his cultivation is comparable, he is a Taotie cultivator and can swallow qi. Yin and Yang techniques are difficult to work on him. Taibu also suffered losses on the Taotie Way."
Han Chen frowned and said, "It's really not possible, so we can only fight at close quarters."
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head.
Fighting at close quarters is tantamount to giving up the strengths of yin and yang cultivators, and is the most unwise way to fight.
"I have two helpers here who can help Brother Han."
Xu Zhiqiong called Chang Decai and Yang Wu.
When they saw Chang Decai, Chu He, Niu Yuxian and Wu Shanxing all opened their eyes.
How come there are such beauties in this world!
Xu Zhiqiong said: "This is my best friend Chang Ruyu, Miss Chang!"
Han Chen gritted his teeth and remained silent.
Yang Wu wore a mask, covering his face tightly. There were too many acquaintances here.
Niu Yuxian looked at Yang Wu's figure and felt that he looked familiar, so he asked: "Who is this brother?"
Yang Wu said nothing, fearing that his voice would be recognized.
Chu He recognized Yang Wu and didn't know how to explain it.
Xu Zhiqiong introduced: "This is the Buyang Taoist cultivator, Wu Yang, Wu Daxia!"
Niu Yuxian was stunned for a while, then turned to Xu Zhiqiong and asked: "What is Buyang Dao?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "There is no time to explain now, the tactics have to be changed."
Xu Zhiqiong and Liang Zhenjie renegotiated the tactics. After the discussion was completed, Xu Zhiqiong took out six copper coins and tossed them again.
Six copper coins, all face up, greatly increase your chances of winning!
The two decisive elements have been grasped!
Why do you know Ji? Why do you perceive the elements of victory and defeat?
Is this talent, luck, or help from experts?
While I was thinking, I suddenly heard a roar of filial piety from the barren mountain.
A colorful giant bird with a wingspan of nearly ten feet soared into the sky.
Han Chen mobilized his Qi and concentrated on saying: "Suzaku has a third-level Taoist skill, a ghost chariot has nine skills, and Yan Huan is working hard!"
