Chapter 44 Ambush
Xiyun City Military Aircraft Department.
"Dismantle the trebuchet? Dig the trench?"
Mr. Jing, who looked indifferent, listened to the report of Xu Qing, the leader of the city defense, and his eyes flickered slightly.
"Mr. Jing, if you let that kid do this again, my subordinates are afraid that Xiyun City will be in danger!"
Xu Qing was half kneeling on the ground, his face extremely anxious.
"Did you do what he asked?"
Mr. Jing was indifferent and asked Xu Qing a question that shocked him.
"He has the military plane token in hand, so his subordinates can only do as he is told, but..."
"Just do it."
Mr. Jing didn't give him a chance to continue, he waved his hand and interrupted: "Just follow the orders, there is no need to come and report to me!"
thump!
As soon as he said this, Xu Qing's other knee also fell to the ground.
"Why are you doing this?"
Mr. Jing frowned slightly.
"Sir, I dare to ask you to take back the military aircraft token and personally command Xiyun City to resist foreign enemies!"
Xu Qing clenched his fists and shouted these words with almost all his strength.
"I?"
Mr. Jing glanced at him and said, "You have forgotten that people from the military aircraft department cannot march and fight."
"My subordinates know that, but the matter is urgent and only you, sir, can turn the tide. Please put the overall situation first!"
Xu Qing gritted his teeth and shouted.
silence.
"You...just follow Chen Ze's orders."
In the end, Mr. Jing gave a response that disappointed Xu Qing.
……………………
One mile outside Xiyun City.
"stop!"
The advancing army came out of the woods. The leader, a heavily armored general, focused his eyes and raised his hand to stop the army from advancing.
boom!
As soon as the order was given, the whole earth trembled at the sound of thousands of people stopping in unison.
"General, it seems they have been prepared!"
The rugged man next to him with a heavy ax slung across his back came over on horseback and sneered disdainfully.
"Gang Leader Xu must not be careless, we are bound to win today's battle!"
The heavily armored general glanced sideways at him and spoke with a sonorous tone.
"I can save this for you!"
The big man who was called Gang Leader Xu laughed cheerfully and said, "I just hope that General Fang will not forget his promise after everything is done!"
As he said that, he glanced back, and seven men with evil faces nodded at the same time. When Gang Leader Xu mentioned the word "promise", everyone's eyes revealed a hint of greed.
"You can rest assured about this!"
General Fang said loudly: "I, Old Fang, have seen everyone's hard work this year and will remember it in my heart. As long as this battle is successful, not to mention the small Xiyun City, what if I give you seven more?"
?”
"If the Qingyang Empire dares to come to you for trouble in the future, I, the Great Zhuyan Empire, will step in to solve it!"
When Gang Leader Xu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he laughed and said: "Okay, I am worried that one city is not enough. If there are seven more, we don't have to rob them, don't you think?"
The seven people behind naturally laughed and echoed.
Chen Ze's guess was not bad. The Zhu Yan Empire had indeed been planning the Poison Mist Forest for a long time.
As early as three years ago, General Fang quietly sneaked into the Poison Mist Forest with a few followers and began to secretly cultivate his own power. In the following two years, elite soldiers from the Zhu Yan Empire gradually joined him.
, gradually formed a powerful force.
During this period of time, General Fang kept making small moves secretly. On the one hand, he caused the various forces in the Poison Mist Forest to fight continuously. On the other hand, he also tried his best to investigate and destroy the intelligence system of the Qingyang Empire here.
Finally, a year ago, he completed the integration of the entire Toxic Mist Forest.
Except for Gui Jianchou, who was abandoned long ago, today's Poisonous Mist Forest is no longer as the outside world thinks, with hundreds of forces entangled in each other, but has formed seven major forces headed by Gang Leader Xu's Soul Chaser Gang.
Later, General Fang made his identity clear to these seven major forces, and made a serious promise, asking Gang Leader Xu and others to help him capture Xiyun City. After this was accomplished, the entire Xiyun City was used as a reward, and was awarded to Poisonous Fog.
The fugitive in the forest.
The reason why the seven forces were left behind was because General Fang himself kept a secret. This not only prevented one family from becoming the dominant one and not obeying his own instructions, but also allowed the seven forces to supervise and monitor each other so that the plans would not be leaked.
After reaching a consensus, they blocked the news and conducted militarized training in the Poison Mist Forest for a year, training the unruly imperial criminals into an elite division, and also used the wood in the forest to build siege equipment.
.
It wasn't until everything was ready that General Fang sent the news back to the Zhu Yan Empire. The two parties cooperated internally and externally and jointly launched this battle!
After planning for three years, I know today that the general is determined to win this battle!
"Okay, let's discuss the distribution of benefits after the war. Let's focus on the present!"
After everyone laughed for a while, General Fang interrupted in a deep voice.
"This is nature, this is nature!"
Gang Leader Xu put away his greed, stared sharply in the direction of Xiyun City, and hummed softly: "They were actually prepared!"
Xiyun City was already in sight, and the reason why General Fang stopped the troops was because he saw the trench dug by Chen Ze five hundred meters away.
"What's the point?"
While talking to everyone, General Fang had seen these trenches dug like fields more than once, and was puzzled as to why the other party did this.
"I think... they are probably not fools!"
However, Gang Leader Xu laughed out loud. He had also obtained military rank in the past and was no stranger to marching and fighting. These trenches in front of him seemed like a joke to him.
General Fang was still cautious. He pondered for a moment and waved his hand to summon ten archers. They all set their bows and arrows and shot into the ditch.
No reaction at all.
"I just said it was a joke."
Gang Leader Xu shrugged, relaxed.
"Someone, go fill those gullies!"
After giving the order, the soldiers rushed to the rear to mobilize the engineering brigade.
……………………
"Sir...Sir, how long are we going to stay here?"
At the same time, at the edge of the woods where the Poisonous Mist Forest army was marching, several heads poked out from under a few piles of fluffy dead leaves. One of them was so nervous that his forehead was sweating and he looked towards the other side who was spitting dust.
Brain asked.
These people turned out to be Guo Zi, who was previously sent by Chen Ze, and the one hundred soldiers assigned to him.
"What are you in a hurry for?"
Guo Zi glared at him and said, "Young Master's signal hasn't arrived yet, so just stay still!"
Just now, Chen Ze selected a hundred of the most powerful elite soldiers from the barracks and handed them over to Guo Zi. These people did not stay in the city, but marched quickly from the edge, and finally ambush in the woods before the general's army passed by.
inside.
Their position was very close to the side and they were carefully disguised. Even though General Fang kept asking people to conduct inspections during the march, their presence was not discovered.
"Damn it, when that team of cavalry came over just now, who was so scared that he peed his pants?"
Chapter completed!
