In Shacheng, several commanders of the Gangze Army in charge of the siege were discussing what to do after the victory. Judging from their expressions, it was clear that everyone believed that this victory was inevitable, but the development of things was often not as expected.
A guard hurried in and said in a hurry:
"Reporting to all commanders, the Magic Empire's army has not fled towards the Western Fire City."
"What!" Everyone was stunned, and one of the commanders asked hurriedly:
"Then in which direction did they escape?"
The guard continued:
"Northwest."
Everyone looked at the map. The locations of Sand City and Fire City happened to be one to the east and one to the west. The two legions that attacked the Fire City were now preparing to come back to attack Palu's fugitive army. However, this fugitive army did not follow the plan.
They retreated towards the Jishi Mountains in the northwest. In doing so, they just avoided the flanking attack of the two legions?
Several commanders frowned and thought for a long time. None of them expected this unexpected situation. At this time, one commander said:
"Otherwise, let's ask the envoy how to attack!"
And another commander said angrily:
"You can't ask her about everything. After all, she is from the Ice and Snow Empire. We can still destroy the remaining legions of the Magic Empire without her."
All the commanders nodded in recognition, and one commander continued:
"Now we order the two legions attacking Fire City to intercept them in front, and we also start to pursue them. Don't let them escape."
Then these commanders gathered their legions one after another. If they told Eva about this, it is estimated that Wood would not be able to escape so easily. Later, the Gangze legion would not be defeated, and Wood would not be able to rise so easily, but
This is all for later.
Wood led the legion to escape towards the Jishi Mountains in the northwest. The entire army was moving very fast. However, the legion fled in a hurry and did not bring much food. The food that Wood brought was only enough for 20 days. Calculated in this way,
As long as they enter the Jishi Mountains, the fleeing army will quickly run out of food.
Now they have been running away for three days. During the night break, Wood discussed the issue of food with several partners. Nowadays, Shen'en Continent has been fighting all the year round, which has caused the food in various places to be very compact, and the Fire City is not a place where food is produced. Now
There is not much food left in Huo City. Even if we take the airship back to Fire City to get food, Huo City probably won't be able to get much.
When everyone was worried, Palu brought a group of people over and asked directly:
"Wood, we are now thinking of escaping from the Jishi Mountains, so that we are getting farther and farther away from the Fire City. If the two legions from Gangze flank us on the edge of the Jishi Mountains, what will we do?"
Wood said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I have already arranged this. As long as we can get to the vicinity of the Jishi Mountains, we will have a chance to win."
Pallu smiled and said:
"I admire your confidence. Since you have already made arrangements, I won't ask. But I want to know how long will we have enough food?"
Wood frowned and said:
"Not much. We are trying to find a way to transport food here."
Palu sneered and said nothing. Indeed, in this situation where there is a dead end in front and pursuers behind, there is no possibility of transporting food. However, Palu did not know that Wood had an airship, so Palu thought so.
Pallu said:
"Since you already have a countermeasure, I will listen to your arrangements. I'm leaving and you can continue talking."
After Palu left, Wood had an idea and said:
"Sal, how about you become a thief for once!"
Sal looked at Wood in confusion, and Wood then said:
"We have burned most of the food and fodder that attacked the Fire City Legion. They must now rely on the only food in Shacheng. But as soon as Gangze's reinforcements arrive, they will have enough food. You can go and steal their food.
.”
Sal smiled evilly and said:
"Guaranteed to complete the task."
Wood took out a space ring and handed it to Sal and said:
"Take as much as you can."
Then Sal left, and everyone began to direct the troops to continue their escape. Because Wood temporarily changed their route, their escape went smoothly this time, at least they did not encounter the pursuing enemies now.
At this time, Gangze's two legions did not want to pursue, but one was following behind. Wood's legion did not have a convoy to escort grain and grass, so it retreated quickly, but Gangze's legion was different. The grain escort truck marched very quickly in the desert.
Slowly, this resulted in Gangze's pursuers being unable to catch up with Wood and others.
Just seven days after Wood's army escaped, Sal came back and said excitedly:
"Boss, the mission has been successfully completed. I have brought all the food from all the warehouses in Shacheng."
Wood smiled and said:
"Okay, let's see how we fight back."
Everyone looked at the Jishi Mountains not far ahead. At this time, the army was not far from the Jishi Mountains. It only took half a day to walk and they should be there. Wood was muttering silently in his heart, Brother Rufu, Sister Yuna,
Whether you can succeed or not depends on the two of you.
At night, Wood and others finally arrived at the edge of the Jishi Mountains, and Wood ordered everyone to rest where they were. This made Palu very anxious. When Palu went to find Wood in confusion, Wood comforted Palu and said:
"Your Majesty, I have arranged everything. Please rest assured."
Seeing Wood's confident eyes, Palu could only believe in Wood again, but Palu was still puzzled. The army rested for three days. On the third day, Gangze's pursuers finally came in pursuit. Wood smiled and ordered
said:
"Enter the Jishi Mountains."
There is no other way, the legion can only enter the Jishi Mountains, but Palu can guess what Wood means. According to the current situation, Wood may want to use the monsters in the Jishi Mountains to stop Gangze's pursuers, but what's the use of this?
Will Warcraft be at the mercy of Wood?
But when the army entered the Jishi Mountains, Gangze's army followed closely, and Wood asked all the soldiers to stop. When everyone was puzzled, Wood sneered and said:
"Let's see how I fight back."
After Wood said these words, dense arrows were suddenly fired from the top of the mountains, and the Gangze Legion entering the Jishi Mountains fell into Wood's ambush.
Then Wood laughed and said:
"Haha! Enemies of Gangze, I want to tell you a fact. Don't chase deserters!"
After Wood finished saying this, he looked at the legion behind him and used mental magic to say:
"Everyone stays where they are. The disciples of the sect obey orders and we will fight back."
After Wood finished speaking, the sect deacons following Wood's rescue flew into the sky one after another, and Wood waved the Guandao and shouted:
"Start fighting back!"
Then the whole mountain range suddenly heard roars all day long. Since Wood and others flew into the sky, countless figures flew out of the mountains. Looking at the densely packed high-level practitioners in the sky, everyone was dumbfounded, including
Gangze and Palu et al.
Wood rushed at the front. When he was about to meet the Gunze Army, Yuna came to Wood on a flying shuttle. After reaching out and handing the space ring to Wood, Wood took it and said with consciousness:
"Soul body, long time no see, I miss you a little!"
And the soul body smiled and said:
"You! You don't have time to miss me, so you should seize the opportunity to counterattack!"
Wood then glanced at the Gangze Army below with cold eyes and said:
"After chasing us for so long, I'm going to let you taste what it's like to be double-teamed! Attack!"
As soon as Wood finished speaking, high-level cultivators all over the sky rushed into the Gangze Army Formation. At this time, many cultivators wearing fine armor came down from the Jishi Mountains. It was hard to count how many people there were in the mountains and plains.
.
The commanders of Gangze were shocked and ordered to retreat one after another, but by this time it was already too late. The high-level practitioners who rushed into the military formation were like tigers rushing into the flock of sheep. In just a moment, the Gangze army caused huge damage.
Now Gangze's two legions attacked Huocheng, plus one legion besieging Shacheng, plus three reinforcement legions. This legion of 600,000 people actually lost morale under this sudden attack. In the chaotic scene
, the first thought of all commanders was to retreat, and they did not consider the idea of attacking.
In the chaotic military formation that had just fallen, several commanders were urging the withdrawal of troops, and Wood had already arrived in front of them waving the Guandao. Then Wood pointed at the commander-in-chief coldly and arrogantly and said:
"Those who surrender will be spared death! Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
