The Shang State launched a fierce offensive in less than two months, and the army reached Xixia City, the last line of defense in Xia State's western frontier.
In order to stabilize the situation and delay time, the Xijiang Camp had to make a decision. Chen Bing established a posture of fighting for every inch of land among the mountains nearly a hundred miles west of Xixia City.
The Kaishan Battalion and several other cannon fodder battalions were still not qualified to enter Xixia City. They received orders outside Xixia City and went straight to the battlefield to guard the twenty-mile mountain range at the southern end of the mountain.
However, after Su Le and others set off, an extremely elite troop suddenly emerged from Xixia City behind the team. There were only a few thousand in number, but their momentum was like that of thousands of troops. Compared with several large cannon fodder battalions, they were simply nothing.
One in the sky and one on the earth!
"Oh my God, the weakest warriors among them are all warriors at the fifth level of martial arts. Such an elite unit must be a unit directly under a certain master, right?"
Countless soldiers showed curious eyes, and low voices of discussion gradually arose in the ranks.
"You guessed it right. Did you see that blue flying dragon flag? That is a battle flag that only adults above the level of a warrior should own."
"Hey, look at that white horse under our banner. Isn't that the most famous Night Moon Meteor in Western Xinjiang? I heard that it is second only to the Pegasus spirit beast and is one of the top war horses in the world. We only have three horses in the Western Xinjiang military camp.
.”
"The one on the horse is Lord Yang Qi! No wonder he is riding Yeyue Meteor. The Yang family is one of the owners of the three Yeyue Meteor. Is it possible that Lord Yang Qi is commanding us in this battle?"
When the soldiers heard this, they were full of expectations. If there was a strong warrior commanding them, their chances of winning would be much greater.
Su Le looked at Yang Qi who was surrounded by people and smiled faintly. Yang Qi was dressed very stylishly at the moment. He was wearing silver fish scale armor, holding a two-foot-long pear flower gun, wearing a clear white jade crown on his head, a night moon meteor horse on his waist, and matching
With a handsome face, he is simply the dream lover of countless young ladies.
Unfortunately, Yang Qi's outfit is not practical at all on the battlefield in the mountains.
The steep mountains would make it impossible for Yeyue Meteor to use its speed at all. Yang Qi's white armor made him an even more attractive target for artillery fire.
Three hours later, everyone finally reached their destination, a steep mountain forest.
The closer to the front line, the more intense the atmosphere of war became. Even if everyone was only on the edge of the possible attack route of the Shang Kingdom, they felt the ubiquitous tension.
"Su Le obeys the order!"
After setting up camp and setting off, the generals above the school flag were immediately summoned for a meeting, but soon, Dong Sheng came back with a smile on his face.
Arriving in front of the Blackwater Flag, Dong Sheng smiled broadly and said to Su Le: "Su Le, good news! Because you performed bravely in the battle, when arranging the tasks of each flag team this time, the camp leader specially
I mentioned you and asked you to lead the Blackwater Banner to patrol thirty miles northwest of the military camp. This is a perfect opportunity to make a contribution!"
Dong Sheng's smile seemed to come from the bottom of his heart, making it impossible to see any flaw in it. In his words, he only felt that he was full of joy and encouragement for his subordinates.
Su Lecheng said in fear: "Sir, our Blackwater Flag is of low strength. I have only just become the flag commander. How can I take on such an important task? Please take back your order. The meritorious service of my subordinates is small. If I delay the opportunity to fight, I will be in harm's way."
All the comrades in the battalion and you, my lord, will be blamed for your death!"
"Hahaha, you are young, neither arrogant nor impetuous, good!" After listening to Su Le's words, Dong Sheng's smile became even brighter, and he encouraged: "Su Le, you don't have to worry, our mountain camp is just a large camp in Western Xinjiang.
It's an inconspicuous low-level military camp. The enemy won't bother us at all. Moreover, we are located on the edge of the battlefield and there is almost no danger. You can go with confidence and don't let down the camp master and my expectations for you!
"
When Su Le heard this, his face was filled with infinite emotion, and he said firmly: "Don't worry, sir, my subordinate will definitely complete the task and live up to your expectations!"
"Okay, okay, okay! It's true that a hero comes from a young age! Go get ready immediately!" Dong Sheng praised with a smile on his face. When Su Le turned around, a cold smile flashed across his eyes.
Su Le informed the order, and all the Blackwater Banner soldiers were eager to give it a try.
Having experienced the last breakout, no one had any worries about the patrol mission, and after more than a month of hard training, everyone was confident.
Su Le was like a passionate young man. After receiving the order, he quickly set off from the camp with the Blackwater Flag. The entire flag team was high-spirited, in sharp contrast to the teams in other opening camps.
Watching the Blackwater Flag leave majestically, Dong Sheng smiled as brightly as a flower.
To the northwest of the camp, there is a relatively flat mountain range. Under the dense forest of the mountain range, a stream more than ten feet wide flows through it.
Su Le led Heishui Qi through the thirty-mile mountain range in no time, and silently memorized the topographic map of the entire mountain range in his mind.
The hillside where Kaishan Camp and several other military camps are stationed seems steep and steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, if the enemy comes from two sides, it is easy to lose sight of one and even fall into a desperate situation with no way out.
However, Su Le was not really passionate about making these suggestions. He led the team to a stop in a dense forest. Su Le used tree branches to draw a simple topographic map on the ground.
Looking at the twelve corps commanders in front of him, Su Le said: "Everyone, the time has come to test everyone. Although we, as a cannon fodder battalion, played a very small role in the entire war, the enemy will not spend too much effort.
Come and deal with us, but this time the Shang Kingdom is coming fiercely, we must not be careless at all."
Su Le pointed at the map on the ground with a branch and said: "This is a rough map thirty miles northwest of our camp. From now on, our flag team will be divided into three groups and conduct cross patrols."
Su Le divided the twelve soldiers into three groups, each responsible for three directions. At the same time, he divided the soldiers in each group into one light and one dark to prepare for any unexpected events.
He believed that if Dong Sheng deliberately arranged for him to go out on patrol, the enemy would definitely come.
After arranging the task, Su Le said seriously: "Everyone, this task is difficult. Everyone must be careful. Once you find the enemy, do not confront the enemy head-on. Send a signal immediately and retreat to this valley."
"Yes!" The twelve corps commanders took the order and left.
In the mountain forest during the day, the sun is shining brightly, the wind is light and the clouds are light, and it is quiet and peaceful. However, the bright sunshine cannot hide the smell of storm in the air.
Boom!
In the middle of the night, an earth-shaking loud noise suddenly sounded from the mountains, making people's souls tremble. Countless rays of bright divine light broke through the sky and illuminated the heaven and earth.
Between the several large mountains in the center of the mountain range, majestic power surged out, like a volcano erupting, tearing the wind and splitting the clouds, and the blue and yellow light struck in all directions like a tsunami.
Waves of violent shaking spread from the depths of the mountain.
"Flag Commander, the battle has begun?" The soldiers crawled beside Su Le, like birds in the storm, their faces full of fear.
Although this was not the first time for everyone to participate in a battle, the intensity of this battle far exceeded everyone's expectations.
Su Le comforted him: "Don't worry, everyone. Those earth-shattering battles are the affairs of the big shots and will not affect us. Besides, with Master Yang Qi here, we will definitely win."
After hearing Su Le's words, everyone felt a little relieved, but the fear on their faces still couldn't dissipate.
However, in the next three days, the battle in the center of the mountain became more and more intense, but the mountains patrolled by Su Le and others remained calm. It seemed that as Dong Sheng said, the enemy would not attack from here.
But Su Le became even more vigilant. Although going to Xixia City through the mountains where they were located would require a detour of nearly fifty miles, and the mountains would be more rugged, in memory, An Ruyi liked to use these weird tricks.
"Snapped!"
A soft sound woke Su Le up. When he saw the brittle crystal in his arms, Su Le's heart trembled. The enemy was finally here.
It was the fourth watch at this time. According to the enemy's forward speed, if there was no obstruction, they would arrive outside the camp on the eve of dawn, and that was the time when everyone was most relaxed.
Su Le waved his hand and led everyone quietly to the top of the slope, looking in the direction of the trap.
In the dark night, dark figures emerged from the end of the forest and turned into long black snakes, swimming quickly.
"Flag Commander, there are about 3,000 enemies." Ma Hao, the commander of the ninth corps, with his face covered in green grass juice, moved gently from the side and reported.
Su Le stared at the night in the distance and shook his head: "No! It's more than three thousand. These three thousand people are just the forwards. There are more troops behind them."
A group of dark green faces looked at Su Le in surprise. They had finally judged the three thousand enemy troops in front through experience. Further away, it was pitch black. How could Su Le see so far?
Su Le ignored everyone's surprise. He retracted his body and quickly ordered: "Lü Liang, take the two of you back to the camp immediately and report the enemy's situation. Han Zheng and Pan Feng, you two go to notify the second and third groups respectively and let them
Retreat to the valley secretly and wait for my next order. The rest of you will follow me."
Su Le quietly lurked in the dense forest with everyone, watching the actions of the merchant army. Although the patrol mission had been completed, he did not want to lead the troops back to the camp immediately. He believed that Dong Sheng would never welcome him back.
For him, instead of going back to the military camp and being controlled everywhere, it would be better to stay in the mountains. Based on his experience in his previous life, even if the Black Water Flag's combat power is still very weak, he can still be at ease.
He ordered his subordinates to tie their heads with leaves, and smear their faces and arms with green grass juice. In the lush mountain forest, it would be difficult to detect their presence unless you look carefully.
Su Le stared at the merchant army's forward, watching them rush towards the Xia army's camp like ghosts. If nothing unexpected happened, this merchant army's forward would be completely defeated, but whether the Xia army could work together to make the main force of the merchant army fall into a trap, this depends on
It depends on the methods and courage of the Xia army leader.
But to Su Le's disappointment, as soon as the Merchant Army forwards rushed into the camp, there were loud shouts of killing in the camp, and fire dragons surrounded the Merchant Army forwards.
Su Le clearly saw that in the mountain forest more than ten miles outside the camp, countless shadows quickly stopped and began to slowly disappear into the darkness.
