Chapter 179: The war begins

Lao Zheng looked at Old Man Zhou's slightly sinister smile, frowned slightly, and said, "What do you have to ask?"

Old man Zhou said, "If I win, as long as you agree to my request! How about it, do you dare?"

"Hmph! If you ask me to give the Zheng family to you, will I agree?" Lao Zheng said coldly.

Old man Zhou shook his head gently and said, "Don't worry, the Marshal is here to testify again today. My request is easy for you..."

After looking at Lao Zheng who was still hesitant, Old Man Zhou smiled and said, "Don't you really dare not?"

Old Zheng's serious expression froze and said seriously: "I even dare to send the legitimate son of the Zheng family into the plan. What's the point of making a bet... Okay, I agree, I'll see how Xia Zhanhong, who is a successful martial arts school, has two high-ranking martial arts school and ninety soldiers, how can he beat my Zheng family's children!"

"The Marshal is here to testify. Even if our bet is made, we will not be allowed to repent at that time!" Old Man Zhou smiled and looked extremely serious.

Old Zheng glanced at Old Man Zhou with disdain, shook his sleeves gently, and said lightly: "You and I have known each other for seven hundred years. Have you ever seen what I, Zheng Long, say, and there is still a time to regret it!"

He seemed to have not heard the bet between the two. Ji Huanyu looked down quietly and murmured to himself: "This child's talent is indeed excellent. A few miles apart, he can discover the other party's existence..."

Old Man Zhou turned his eyes to Ji Huanyu and said with a smile: "Master Marshal, I told you in the first level that he is the only person who can't even find cheating! At that time, you said that he was what he learned... If I guess it is good, it must be that his bloodline is special and he has used it very skillfully!"

Old Zheng frowned slightly and said in confusion: "If so, why didn't they avoid other teams before and fought three consecutive games?"

Old Man Zhou said: "The previous few times, the team appeared at the same time in two or three directions, so he lost the other... Hehe, Lao Zheng, it's too late for you to regret it now..."

"Repent!" Old Zheng sneered: "Hmph! In terms of talent, Zheng's skills are higher than his elder brother. Regardless of cultivation or tactics, they are the best choice! If Xia Zhanhong had only these methods... you should not be reluctant to leave the seven insects and seven flowers in the end!"

Old Man Zhou laughed sinisterly, then stopped talking, lowered his head and looked down.

Xia Zhanhong dealt with three spies and ran quickly, and soon caught up with Lang Yue and the others.

Seeing Xia Zhanhong coming back, Lang Yue hurriedly asked, "Brother Xia, how are you doing it? Have you solved it?"

"It's solved temporarily!" Xia Zhanhong nodded and said, "However, one of the other party has a very strong person, and they have six players and three hundred soldiers, so they will never let go! Let's go back quickly and make a defense first..."

Xiao Zhu said from the side, "Why don't we go around a few circles first and get rid of them!"

"No!" Langyue shook his head and said, "There are too many teams on the edge now. Once we encounter other teams, the trouble will be great... In addition, we have no time to erase the traces left when we move, so we can't get rid of them!"

Speaking of this, Lang Yue took a deep breath and said solemnly: "We must rush back and seize the time to set up defenses... and in the No. 2 area, we must stick to it for more than three days!"

Xiao Zhu frowned tightly and hesitated: "The three of us, less than one hundred soldiers, can we resist the six opponents, three hundred soldiers! It will take more than three days?"

"That's right! Only in this way can we support it with the two arranged places in the next to it until the end!" Lang Yue said solemnly.

"Even if we can hold on for three days, such a big noise will definitely attract other teams..."

Before Xiao Zhu finished speaking, Lang Yue waved his hand and interrupted him: "With such a strong strength on the other side, it must be one of Zhou Yong, Qian Ning, and Zheng Gong. Even if there are teams here, they will not dare to participate!"

After the words came, Lang Yue turned to Xia Zhanhong: "Whether you can make the second game this time depends on you! I know that you have a perfect martial arts school and your cultivation is higher than that of Xiao Zhu and me. If you can't hold on, you will run away with the token, and they will definitely not be able to catch up with you!"

Xia Zhanhong shook his head gently and said, "Brother Wolf, you are too pessimistic. You want to lose before the battle. This is a big impact on your momentum... We have made so many arrangements in advance, and we can definitely win even if we fight against the masses!"

Hearing this, Lang Yue was slightly stunned, then looked at Xia Zhanhong and nodded vigorously.

Xiao Zhu, who was originally depressed, had a blood boiling in an instant, and raised his tone and said, "That's right, I'm afraid he's a bird! We must win!"

While speaking, an extremely dense forest appeared in front of me. From afar, behind the forest, two cliffs connected together could be vaguely seen.

Just a quarter of an hour after Xia Zhanhong and his friends entered the dense forest, Zheng Gong had already led his men to follow him.

When he arrived in front of the dense forest, Zheng Gong stood still and looked up. After a moment, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly and sneered: "I want to use the terrain here to resist stubbornly! Humph, you think that if there is a two hundred meters high cliff blocking both directions, it can support you for five days..."

Turning back, Zheng Gong whispered: "Everyone should pay attention, enter the forest, and ten people will form a group. Everyone should try to get closer together and not be distracted. Five players are on the outermost side, be careful of the other party's sneak attack!"

After the words came, Zheng Gong turned around and entered the dense forest first.

The forest was densely covered with trees and was not suitable for the brigade, but Zheng Gong's method was extremely effective. All the soldiers were divided into thirty groups, moving closer to each other and defending each other, without any scattering in the formation.

Looking for the traces left by Xia Zhanhong and the others, the team moved forward little by little, and everyone was paying close attention to the movements around.

Xia Zhanhong was quietly lurking in a bush. Looking at the cautious and slowly moving forward, his brows frowned slightly: "This Zheng Gong is indeed amazing. In such a dense forest, he can keep the formation so complete... If he wants to disturb them, he can only take the risk to get closer!"

Thinking in his heart, Xia Zhanhong sneaked quietly and moved closer to the other party's team.

There was a dead silence in the forest. Except for the sound of the team as they marched, and even the sound of insects and birds, everyone's heartstrings were tense to the extreme.

Suddenly, a bang of bowstring sounded, and a cold light shot out from the right side of the team, ten meters away from the bushes, and shot into the crowd in the blink of an eye. Although they were always cautious, they could not defend themselves at such a close distance.

"Ah!" A screamed, and a soldier fell to the ground. The soldiers around him reacted almost immediately. As soon as they lifted the crossbow in their hands, the crossbow arrow was fired.

The cooperation of these soldiers was extremely tacit. As the continuous bowstrings sounded, nine crossbow arrows shot to different positions, almost blocking the upper, lower, left and right of the bushes.

However, although the soldiers' reaction was fast, they were still a step slower. As they pulled the crossbow trigger, a black shadow suddenly jumped up, pulled up more than ten meters high on the spot, and dodged all the crossbow arrows.

Xia Zhanhong shot an arrow and immediately jumped upwards, avoiding the opponent's counterattack. Then he reached out and slapped his hand on a branch, and his body kept turning, and suddenly drilled into the dense canopy. At this moment, the second wave of dozens of crossbow arrows shot out, hitting the branch he had just leveraged.

The whole process was as fast as lightning. In an instant, the forest fell into silence again.

Zheng Gong looked at Xia Zhanhong's disappearing tree canopy and smiled coldly: "Xia Zhanhong, it turns out that it is you... who want to use the method of disturbing the enemy to restrain our speed... It seems that you are not ready yet. I thought you had left a backhand here long ago and wanted to stay in a strong position and defend!"

Thinking of this, Zheng Gong waved his hand and shouted: "Don't pay attention to him and speed up the speed of the journey. They are not far from us!"

As he said that, Zheng Gong quietly winked at the other two contestants, turned around and strode forward.

The speed of the entire team suddenly increased, and the sound brought out immediately broke the silence in the forest.

"Huh?" Xia Zhanhong, who had already hid in the distance, his brows tightened and his face darkened: "Zheng Gong did not chase him, but instead accelerated to chase forward... No, Lang Yue and the others must be not ready yet!"

As soon as this thought changed, Xia Zhanhong was about to set off again to harass the other party. But at this moment, he suddenly realized that the other party's originally compact team was a little disconnected. The last ten groups of 100 people were nearly five meters away from the team ahead, and they even scattered out slightly.

"No, Zheng Gong made arrangements and wanted to lead me into the underworld!" Xia Zhanhong made a judgment in an instant, paused his body, took a deep breath, and a series of whistles rushed out of his mouth.

"You are very smart and not fooled!" Zheng Gong glanced at the direction where the whistle was coming, and then continued to move forward quickly.

The Wolf Leap was setting up, and suddenly he heard a whistle. He stopped suddenly. After a moment, he shouted loudly: "Leave ten people to erect the wooden wall in the north, and the rest of them rushed to the west to prepare the rattan, and the other party was about to come!"

A quarter of an hour later, Zheng Gong saw that the brightness in front of him increased, and there were obviously no trees blocking the light. He quickly walked closer and saw that there was a gap of space within seventy or eighty meters in front of him, and there were hundreds of wooden stakes left after being cut down.

Looking up, there were three wooden walls dozens of meters away, each of which was twenty meters long, composed of two-meter-high logs poking side by side on the ground. Between the three walls, there were two gaps that could only pass through one person. Looking back, the hundreds of meters behind the wall were already cliffs.

"There are 100-meter cliffs on the southeast sides, and there are blocking them on the northwest sides... It turns out that we must stay in a strong position and defend!" Zheng Gong sneered disdainfully and said, "However, just relying on these two-meter-high wooden walls, you want to stick to them for five days. It's too simple for you to think!"

As he said that, Zheng Gong's smile suddenly subsided and ordered loudly: "The two players in the first team led fifty soldiers to attack. Don't go through the gaps between the wooden walls, pay attention to defending against the opponent's crossbows! The second group of soldiers prepares for crossbows and covers the first group!"

As soon as Zheng Gong finished speaking, the two contestants rushed out with fifty soldiers.
