() Under the charming night, the small valley was peaceful. A few lights shined through the tents, and at the same time, the laughter of humans also shined through.
Most of the demon warriors took advantage of the rare opportunity to meditate or fall asleep. But the scholars were all laughing and laughing.
A few days ago, when Xie Ning decided to leave them in this hidden valley that was finally discovered, but he took most of the magic war and all the sleds and set off on the road alone. The scholars were naturally panicked, and several came from the Western Continent.
Some scholars even thought that these Chinese demon warriors, seeing no hope of escape, were going to abandon them and run away alone.
Fortunately, Academician Qian and Mr. Yuan, who is gradually recovering, are quite popular among scholars. The tradition of China's magic war and Xie Ning's background also gave people some reassurance - during the Thousand Years War, except for a few
Except for a few traitors, there has never been a demon who surrendered or feared death. And the heroic Xie family... is extremely famous throughout the entire continent.
After waiting for two days in this hesitant and worried mood, Xie Ning and the others did come back, but they brought an extremely happy surprise - the pursuit and interception troops of more than a thousand people were actually killed by this small group.
After several battles, the small guard group was wiped out one after another!
How could this not make scholars ecstatic and sleepless at night?
…
Not far from the big tent where the scholars gathered, there was a small tent faintly surrounded by the tents of the demon warriors, but it also had a little starlight.
Xie Ning and Yang Xiao were sitting in the tent holding a small hot pot, eating barbecue.
Academician Qian was also sitting aside, but he was slowly cutting the roasted monster meat on the plate in front of him with a knife, and occasionally putting a piece of meat into his mouth.
"Your Highness, your barbecue skills are really good." She looked at Xie Ning, who was roasting the meat on the rack with gorgeous purple flames, and praised her heartily.
"Tch, academician, don't be deceived by this bastard. In fact, he has weird magic power. He can control the temperature at will, so he can roast the meat until it's cooked inside and out. Our pure fire magic power is too strong.
I can't control it." Xiao Ledong curled his lips, but said vaguely while holding a magic pig leg and biting it.
…
"Haha..." Academician Qian laughed softly.
"By the way, Your Highness. In the past two days, we have stayed in this valley with nothing to do, but we have studied the ring again. It seems... we have found some principles of its operation, but if we continue to study in depth, it may require more complicated research.
The equipment—we don’t have that equipment yet,” she added.
"Oh?" Xie Ning immediately looked at her curiously: "Academician, there is no need to worry now. I first thought that since this thing is a magical tool for barbarians to open passages, I have always dreamed of using it to open passages to the extreme.
Just run back to the passageway of the North Fortress."
"Thinking about it now, it's not realistic. To open the passage, the space in both places needs to be weak. The space on the far north fortress must be very stable. Moreover, the barbarian opening the passage is a teleportation between alien planes. I have high hopes.
It must also be teleported from the same plane - if it can really be teleported like this, I'm afraid we will be the ones who suffer. The barbarians are spreading it everywhere, who can stop it."
He shook his head with a smile and said.
…
"Haha... It's impossible to teleport from the same plane. It's easy to go from one weak place to another weak place, but as long as one place is strong... just cutting the solid space is probably not something that can be done by releasing space magic energy.
If the barbarians could do this, they would already be the founding gods or space stars, or in other words, space controllers? Then they still use
Are you going to fight us to the death? Just cut a crack in space and throw us all in."
Academician Qian suddenly couldn't help laughing.
"Actually, I guessed that you had that plan at the beginning. At the beginning, we were almost at the end of our rope. Even though the hope was slim, we had to seize on the glimmer of hope. This is also the case for us these days, we kept running while running.
Research the cause of that ring like crazy."
Academician Qian said with a smile on his face: "But it's really good now. The pursuers are gone. The worries I've been having have finally come to fruition."
Xie Ning was also smiling, but he didn't speak. He cut another large piece of meat from the grill in front of him and handed it to Academician Qian: "Academician, it's finally possible to relax and have a good rest during the escape.
, I have to be on the road again tomorrow. Eat more, please."
He said with a smile.
…
While the four people and one beast were eating and their mouths were full of oil, the tent curtain was opened, and the mistress walked in happily. Seeing this, without saying a word, he took a large piece of magic rabbit meat from the grill and stuffed it in his mouth.
Li swallowed loudly.
"I asked you to do reconnaissance, why did you come to me?" Xie Ning said with a smile.
"I was about to report to you." The mistress chewed hard on the large piece of meat in her mouth, but swallowed it slowly with difficulty.
"Brother Ning, what you expected is indeed correct. We did have an army to the north back then! He seemed to be the leader of the Earth Demon War level - in short, I detected that the strength of his soul spiral was stronger than that of those stars.
The level is a bit higher. However, the strength level of the team is similar to the one we finally annihilated yesterday. It may be a little weaker and there are not so many people."
he said cheerfully.
…
"Oh? The Earth Demon War? Damn it, are these barbarians crazy? They sent the Earth Demon War to chase us? And they are also the elite among the elite in the team? Are they the same group as the team we killed yesterday?
’s… Then where are they now?”
Xie Ning suddenly became nervous and asked again and again.
"Brother Ning, what are you worried about? As long as there is no sky where you can fly, the earth cannot run on two legs? I just walked a few miles and buried myself in a snow nest. About half an hour ago,
Moxian detected a wolf riding in front of him hurriedly passing by, but it ran wildly to the west. Didn't I detect the movement of those idiots and come back to report to you? "
The mistress smiled happily.
…
"Don't think others are fools."
Xie Ning also calmed down, but rolled his eyes at him: "They must go back to the place where we last appeared to find traces, otherwise in such a big forest, we are wandering around, who knows where we went? They
So we marched all night, probably because we were afraid that the traces would disappear under the heavy snow—we just hoped that the traces of our swaggering retreat would confuse them for a while."
"Whatever."
Xiao Ledong said with a smug smile: "They marched all night, and it took several hours to get there. Then even if they only continued to rest for a few hours, they would start chasing again in the morning, and even if they woke up immediately,
It is analyzed that our ultimate goal is still to go east - but after we rested for a night to recuperate, we ran far away early, so what are we afraid of?"
…
"Lele is right. By the way, brother nai, I'm more concerned about how you came up with this series of actions. It's so awesome. It can probably be included in the classic battle analysis class of the Royal Magic War Military Academy.
It’s in.”
Yang Linkai on the side looked at Xie Ning with great interest and asked.
"Didn't I say it was taught by Grandpa Taizu? Generally speaking, it is to use logic to deduce the enemy's direction, supplemented by various targeted tactical maneuvers and tactical deception. Use maneuvers to disperse and defeat the enemy, and then concentrate superior forces
Surprise yourself, destroy the enemy in motion, and eat them one by one at the last bite." Xie Ning said with a smile.
"Don't come here." Yang Linkai curled his lips.
"Lele and I have been studying for a long time, but we still can't find where Taizu has spread such a tactic. This method seems to be quite simple now, but it is intertwined and eventually turned into a big pit. Moreover,
At the beginning, none of us really thought about it - we all thought you were getting anxious and making random moves."
…
Xie Ning smiled and said nothing.
In fact, the night before their small team set off, they were almost at the end of their rope. If they were discovered, they would basically be dead.
However, while Xie Ning was thinking hard about countermeasures, an idea suddenly came to him - it seems... Isn't this a smaller version of the Long March from another world?
Then, everything seemed logical. After discovering the enemy's presence, they immediately went south to obtain food and carry out tactical deception; they found a good place to leave Academician Qian and the others to free up their mobility; then they moved back and forth with piston maneuvers and used mobile warfare to attack the enemy in surprise.
As long as the barbarians are deceived by tactics, they will inevitably divide their troops because their whereabouts become uncertain. As long as the barbarians do not expect that they can accelerate suddenly, they will be caught off guard and be attacked by them. After that, everyone will think that they will escape eastward after breaking the encirclement.
, who could have expected that they would turn back and be the pursuit force behind the surprise attack?
All of this is basically a plagiarism of Mao Taizu's Four Crossings of Chishui in his previous life... Mobilizing the enemy with tactical maneuvers, creating opportunities, and then destroying the enemy in mobile warfare.
You must know that on an earth without powerful people, war can be said to have been developed to the level of art by our great Chinese civilization, which has been fighting life and death with the northern nomads since the early days of civilization. It is the tradition of the Yankees to win by crushing with strength.
, but our great Chinese tradition relies on ingenious strategies and tactics to win victory.
As for Sidu Chishui, which is known as the most proud work of Mao Taizu in his life, even though Xie Ning imitated it, it is more respected and relied on in this world where the brilliance of the art of war is already half taken away by the powerful...
How could you imagine that there are people who are mere barbarians with strength who would do this?
…
Now, I just hope that God will not make a joke at this time, at least it will continue to snow tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Otherwise, if the barbarians calm down quickly from the rage, are smart enough, and coupled with the maneuverability of the wolf riders, the team will still be able to
It is possible to be caught up.
After all, it was necessary for the liberation maneuver not to leave Academician Qian and the others behind, but this also determined that they had to turn back to pick them up.
It is even more necessary to rest for a night to recuperate one's physical strength, rather than to quickly advance eastward after destroying the intercepting and pursuing troops - there is nothing to be afraid of when the magic energy is used up, and there is nothing to be afraid of when the physical strength is used up. There will be no more battles, and once you reach the seaside, you will be saved from despair.
.But he also brought a bunch of scholars with him... Without good physical strength, I'm afraid the demon warriors wouldn't be able to drag the scholars down.
However, the weather in the far north has always been snowy... I don’t believe it happened to happen that the snow stopped for two days, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow! As long as two days pass tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, it will be impossible for the barbarians, even the wolf riders, to catch up with us.

The young man thought deeply, and a relieved smile finally broke out on his face.
