Chapter 530 Blocking in the Jungle【Seeking a monthly ticket】
Tang Guoao didn't know that there were already many ambush soldiers in the jungle ahead. In his opinion, as long as he led the army into the jungle, he would be very safe. Moreover, as long as he passed through the jungle in front, he would soon be safe. If we can reach Ellar City, we will rely on the solid city of Ellar City as a defense, and together with the garrison stationed in Ellar City, we will definitely be able to block the army led by Shen Yifeng from outside the city. We will definitely be able to wait until The arrival of reinforcements from the Sky Eagle Empire.
"Shen Yifeng, you won't be proud for long. Soon I will let you know how powerful I am!" Tang Guoao said through gritted teeth, and together with Li Xiuyuan, he led the army into the dense jungle ahead. in the jungle.
We hurried forward along the way, and two hours passed in the blink of an eye. At this time, Tang Guoao's army had already penetrated far into the jungle.
Suddenly, just when Tang Guoao wanted to let people go behind to see if Shen Yifeng and the people had caught up, just when he was tired and wanted to take a rest, in the jungle ahead, dense arrows suddenly came from all directions. The shot came over, followed by screams from all directions.
"King of Heaven, there is an ambush!" A warrior rushed to Tang Guo'ao with a livid face.
"Impossible!" Tang Guoao glared at the warrior in front of him: "That bastard Shen Yifeng is behind us. They were besieged in Xuanyuan City before. How could someone ambush us in front of us?"
"ah!"
"ah!"
"..."
At this time, the screams were getting louder and louder all around the jungle. Tang Guoao's soldiers looked around in horror, but they couldn't see where the enemy was hiding. They all stood there suspiciously, their faces extremely ugly.
"Go and take a look around!" Li Xiuyuan's face became extremely livid. He turned to look at the two powerful warriors beside him and ordered loudly: "Look at what happened in front."
"Yes!" The warrior agreed and hurried forward.
However, at this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the front of the jungle: "Tang Guo'ao, you have been surrounded, and today happens to be the third day. If you don't surrender, you will all be killed." In this jungle!"
Hearing the shouting, Tang Guoao's face instantly turned extremely pale. Calculating the time, today was indeed the third day of the three-day period mentioned by Shen Yifeng.
"Did this kid have expected that the battle situation would develop like this? Did he really have sent people to ambush here? This...how is this possible!" Tang Guoao couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart. A deep chill: "If this is really the case, then my army..."
A warrior next to Tang Guoao saw the worry on Tang Guoao's face and comforted him: "King of Heaven, you don't have to worry, Tang Guodong only has so many troops there. Even if he sent people to ambush here in advance, the number of people will be absolute. There won’t be many.”
Tang Guoao frowned and said depressedly: "I really can't figure out how on earth this guy Shen Yifeng sent people to go around to the jungle in front of us to ambush. This is hard to understand!"
Li Xiuyuan was very anxious. He knew that he must not waste a moment in the jungle at this time, otherwise the consequences would be unbearable and serious. He looked at Tang Guoao and urged: "Don't think so much, the top priority now is, We must find out how many enemy troops are deployed in front of the jungle as soon as possible, and then rush out of the jungle before there is any major chaos in our army. I believe that as long as we get to Eral City, that guy Shen Yifeng will definitely kill us. There is nothing we can do."
"That's right!" Tang Guoao nodded heavily, gritted his teeth, and said loudly: "Order, everyone, charge forward with all your might!"
"King of Heaven, the people ambushing in the jungle ahead are mercenaries. I can't tell how many there are." At this time, a warrior came to Tang Guoao to report. It was the warrior Tang Guoao sent out to investigate the situation just now.
"Mercenaries! Shen Yifeng can actually mobilize mercenaries!" Tang Guoao frowned fiercely, his face turned livid: "This bastard actually has such a method!"
Li Xiuyuan actually knew that Shen Yifeng had some relationship with mercenaries. When he sent people to investigate Shen Yifeng's activities before, his subordinates reported it to him. However, although he knew some of this situation before, he never knew about it. Too many ideas. In his opinion, those are just some small mercenaries. They are unorganized and undisciplined. They only care about money. They can't achieve anything at all. He always thinks that Shen Yifeng has a relationship with those mercenaries. It's just for Shangguan Liuyun's auction house, so that the auction house can have an uninterrupted source of medicinal materials. So it has never been taken seriously.
However, what he didn't expect was that at this time, in this extremely important situation, Shen Yifeng actually thought of using the power of mercenaries to attack them, let alone that these mercenaries would actually obey Shen Yifeng was dispatched to come to this jungle to stop them. This was really something he didn't expect.
Tang Guoao actually knew that Shen Yifeng had a relationship with some mercenaries. He also did not expect that Shen Yifeng would actually use these mercenaries to deal with him. He regretted that he did not pay attention to this matter before. However, at this time, things could no longer be resolved. To save it, even if he regrets it again, it is useless.
"King, the number of mercenaries in the mercenary group has never been very large. No matter how powerful Shen Yifeng is, he will never be able to mobilize many mercenaries. I guess there will never be more than 10,000 mercenaries in the jungle. We As long as we push forward hard, those mercenaries will definitely not be able to stop us." Li Xiuyuan said.
"That's right." Tang Guoao felt that Li Xiuyuan's words were completely correct. In his opinion, the mercenaries all fought independently, and it was not easy to gather ten thousand mercenaries. The most important thing was that the mercenaries had no discipline. Sex, as long as they are disrupted, they will not be very lethal.
However, he didn't know that since Shen Yifeng established the mercenary family, since the entire mercenary system formulated by Shen Yifeng, since the mercenary academy was established, since these mercenaries have obtained After the support of the Shangguan family, the mercenaries gathered as a whole. At this time, the mercenaries of the mercenary family already had very strong lethality, and they were no longer completely scattered. They already had a strong cohesion.
Tang Guoao had already made a decision. He asked the warriors to rush to the front. He wanted to use the warriors' strong strength to break out of a gap and disperse the mercenaries ambushing in front. Then he would take the opportunity to rush out with his army.
His abacus was indeed good. Unfortunately, this is a jungle, and most importantly, there are many more mercenaries ambushing here than he imagined, and the quality of these mercenaries is also stronger than he imagined. many.
The warriors followed Tang Guo'ao's instructions and rushed forward. After paying some price, they easily opened a gap and broke out of the mercenary encirclement. Tang Guo'ao felt happy and rushed forward with his army. But , just when he thought he had broken through the mercenary encirclement, the shouts of killing suddenly rang out from both sides. The screams from all around the jungle were mixed with the shouts of killing, causing Tang Guoao's soldiers to be in even greater chaos. .
These mercenaries were extremely smart. They actually let go of the warriors sent by Tang Guoao who rushed to the front, and then launched an extremely fierce attack on Tang Guoao's army behind them. Tang Guoao's army was defeated in just a short while. There was huge confusion.
"Those who surrender will not die. If you turn back immediately, you will live. If you continue to charge forward, we will kill you without mercy!" Fierce screams and thundering shouts rang out from all around the jungle one after another. Tang Guoao's soldiers listened to the bursts of shouts. Screaming, listening to the shouts filling the sky, many people have already had the idea of surrender.
Li Xiuyuan followed Tang Guoao with an extremely ugly face. He had always thought that his strategy was superior to others, but now he was a little afraid of Shen Yifeng. At this time, some shadows had even appeared in his heart.
"King of Heaven, we can't worry so much now. We can take as many people as we can to rush out, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!" Li Xiuyuan said: "Give an order quickly. We must rush forward desperately, otherwise the situation will be dire. That’s bad!”
Tang Guoao knew that what Li Xiuyuan said was absolutely right. He really couldn't waste time in the jungle at this time. He hurriedly ordered loudly: "Everyone, listen, the enemy's army is only a few thousand. As long as we fight hard, we will definitely be able to get through. Follow Rush!"
"Come on!"
The most loyal warriors and soldiers around Tang Guoao were the first to let out loud shouts. The shouts allowed his soldiers to regain some courage and charge forward with Tang Guoao.
The mercenaries were hiding in the darkness of the jungle, and Tang Guoao's army had no experience in jungle warfare. Therefore, although they finally broke through the encirclement set up by the mercenaries in the jungle, the damage was extremely heavy. There were a total of 250,000 troops. After leaving the jungle, there were only less than 120,000 left, and more than half of the troops were lost.
In fact, less than 30,000 Tang Guo'ao's soldiers were killed in the jungle, and most of them turned around and surrendered to Shen Yifeng. At this time, Shen Yifeng was chasing after Tang Guo'ao and the others, and the soldiers he led However, the number of people was increasing. By the time he led his men out of the jungle, the number of the army had actually expanded to 300,000. Among them, 50,000 were mercenaries and 150,000 were his. The remaining 100,000 people brought out from Xuanyuan City were all the surrendered troops received by Tang Guoao.
Tang Guo'ao arrived at the gate of Ellar City with less than 120,000 people extremely exhausted. This city has always been controlled by Tang Guo'ao. The generals guarding the city had all seen Tang Guo'ao and saw him leading his army to charge. When they arrived at the city gate, they hurriedly opened the gate and welcomed Tang Guoao's army into the city.
At this time, it was getting late, and Tang Guoao was extremely tired. After entering the city, he immediately felt a lot more relieved. There were 50,000 troops guarding the city, plus the 120,000 troops he had brought. At this time, he had There are already 170,000 troops. He feels that with the army he has in hand and the supplies Ellar City has, he can definitely defend Ellar City for a long time.
At this time, Shen Yifeng had led an army of 300,000 to chase outside the city of Erlar. He did not order the soldiers to attack the city immediately, but stopped to rest two kilometers away from the city of Erlar.
Bei Mingsha originally thought that after Tang Guoao arrived at the gate of Erlar City, he would be attacked from two sides and suffer heavy losses. However, she did not expect that Tang Guoao actually entered Erlar City smoothly. Shen Yifeng was very confused. He sat down next to him and asked: "Feng, how did you arrange it? How could you let Tang Guoao enter Ellar City so smoothly?"
"Only if he enters the city, can I ensure that he cannot escape!" Shen Yifeng said with a slight smile: "Otherwise, if he brings so many people with him and is followed by so many powerful warriors, how can we kill him as soon as possible? How about annihilating them all together with his people?"
