"Commander, there is a fork in the road ahead, and there are enemy footprints on both roads." Cao Ba led his army to pursue the Blackwater Banner, and a sentry scouting the road suddenly came to report.
"***, these bastards are so cunning. They led us around seven times. Now that we are in hot pursuit, they split into two directions again. Huh, but do they think they can escape my pursuit, Cao Ba, by running like this?"
Cao Ba cursed, turned around and said to a mighty-looking warrior: "Li Bao, you lead three hundred men to pursue from the left. The rest of the brothers, follow me to the right!"
"Commander, no!" Wen Zhouzi hurriedly stopped Cao Ba and said: "Commander, this is probably a trap by the enemy. They deliberately want to separate us, so that we will have the opportunity to defeat each other!"
Cao Ba smiled proudly and said: "Wen Zhouzi, your worries are justified, but seeing the enemy right in front, how can we shrink back and bring shame on the Shang Kingdom? Besides, the mountain roads on both sides only go around the mountains in front, and then again
They will come together, and the farthest distance between the two is only a dozen miles. Even if one party is ambushed, the other party can arrive in time to rescue."
"But……"
Wen Zhouzi was still worried, but his words were interrupted by Cao Ba: "Okay, Wen Zhouzi, aren't you still reassured by the strength of our brothers? Even if the other party is the regular army of Xia Kingdom, we can persist until we rescue each other.
"
Seeing Cao Ba's persistence, Wen Zhouzi had no choice but to tell him: "Li Bao, once you encounter an enemy, you must send a signal immediately."
"Yes!" Li Bao responded, but his expression was no different from Cao Ba's, and he didn't take Xia Jun seriously at all.
In the woods, Hou Shun ran to Su Le like a smart monkey and said excitedly: "Boss, the enemy has indeed fallen into the trap. The team of nearly 600 people is divided into two teams, one of which is heading in our direction.
Come."
After hearing this, everyone in the Blackwater Banner cheered up. Wang Yuan was excited and mixed with some anxiety, and asked again: "Flag Chief, the mountain roads on both sides are only thirteen miles apart. Is it true that the enemy can't come to rescue?"
"
Su Le smiled slightly, with a proud look on his face: "Haha, maybe it won't be too late after we take a nap after we deal with this wave of enemies!"
"pull!"
Seeing that the merchant army had all entered the ambush circle, Su Le gave an order. In the woods, more than a dozen ropes were suddenly pulled. The twenty or so soldiers in the back row of the merchant army immediately screamed and fell into the pit. Then, before the merchant army could wait,
After reacting, hundreds of spears shot out from both sides of the forest, instantly bringing up dozens of bright blood flowers.
"kill!"
Another row of sharp arrows was shot out, and while the enemy was still in shock, the Blackwater Banners launched a fierce attack.
The merchant army was in chaos. In just a short moment, nearly one-third of the team's casualties were lost. Li Bao roared with all his strength, trying to reorganize the formation, but as soon as he roared twice, a sharp arrow fell silently.
penetrated his throat.
"Master Li is dead, send the signal quickly, send the signal quickly!"
Next to Li Bao, a soldier raised his hand in panic, but Su Le's arrows were already coming one after another.
"Destroy the enemy with all your strength, leaving no one behind!" Su Le coldly pronounced the fate of the merchant army.
On the other side of the mountain forest, Cao Ba was marching quickly with his troops, but suddenly, Wen Zhouzi's expression changed drastically: "Commander, have we been to this place just now?"
"Huh?" Hearing this, Cao Ba looked around and saw dense forests and lush weeds. The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, glowing with a faint golden color. The scenery in all four directions was similar.
Cao Ba said hesitantly: "Everywhere in this mountain forest is very similar. Wen Zhouzi, did you remember it wrong?"
But when he returned to the same place for the second time, Cao Ba's face instantly became solemn: "The whole army is on alert, move forward carefully, Wen Zhouzi, please mark it, I still don't believe that I can't get out of this ghost place!"
Wen Zhouzi nodded in agreement, but the next moment his expression suddenly changed: "No! Commander, the enemy's purpose of trapping us is probably..."
Cao Ba also reacted and said with an embarrassed expression: "You mean, Li Bao and the others! Wen Zhouzi, please find a way to take us out!"
Wen Zhouzi tried his best to calm down, but he still couldn't hide his anxiety and said: "Okay, okay! Commander, don't worry, maybe we are overthinking, I will think of a way right away, I will think of a way right away."
On the battlefield on Su Le's side, as the last Shang soldier fell with a scream, in less than a stick of incense, Blackwater Banner once again created a miracle, annihilating an enemy three times stronger than itself.
However, only one person in Blackwater Flag was killed and thirty others were slightly injured.
"Bandage the wounded, clean the battlefield, and prepare for the next battle!" Su Le gave the order with a cold expression.
"Flag Commander, let's go. What's this little injury? We're fine!" the injured soldiers shouted, not caring about their injuries.
However, Su Le shook his head and insisted that everyone bandage their wounds before setting off. Having had experience in his previous life, he knew very well the damage that injuries would cause to soldiers and an army. Almost all armies, especially low-level armies, had three points.
More than two-thirds of the troop losses were due to these injuries.
Even many talented warriors eventually died sadly due to accumulated hidden diseases over time.
He wants to train his team, and even hopes that the soldiers in front of him can break through to the realm of samurai in the future, so these inconspicuous injuries must be contained from the beginning.
Everyone quickly passed through the mountains and forests and headed towards Cao Ba and others' team.
When he saw Cao Ba and others, Su Le showed a hint of surprise. The opponent was about to come out of the maze. Although the maze he had set up was very simple due to the rush of time, it was definitely not something that ordinary soldiers could break.
In front of them, the opponent gradually found the direction of the formation by carving marks on the big trees at each intersection.
Although this method is very stupid, it is very practical.
Su Le couldn't help but take a high look at the merchant vanguard. No wonder they were able to break out of the heavy siege of the Xia army.
Unfortunately, the opponent met him. Su Le waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him circled the maze from both sides and lurked into the maze.
"kill!"
Cao Ba and others looked anxious. They were trapped in a confusing formation but no enemy attacked. What did it mean? They were increasingly worried about the situation of Li Bao and others.
Just as they turned another intersection, suddenly, a shocking sound of killing rang out, like a hurricane blowing through, and a green wave rolled up in the woods on the right.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
A hail of arrows shot out, and countless Shang soldiers fell down screaming.
"Who is it?" Cao Ba shouted, and the team turned to the right in panic, but except for a sway of branches and leaves, no enemy was seen at all.
A dozen soldiers bravely and cautiously walked toward the woods on the right, but the woods in front were empty. There was no trace of anyone anywhere.
But the Shang soldiers never expected that just twenty meters in front of them, under the trees, dozens of Blackwater Banner soldiers were wearing clothes densely packed with leaves, motionless like vegetation.
"Get back, strengthen your vigilance, and keep moving forward!" Cao Ba stopped the soldiers and continued to advance, saying with a gloomy face.
But the team had just advanced a few dozen meters when a dozen soldiers walking in front suddenly screamed, and their bodies instantly rose from the ground and were hoisted high into the sky.
By the time Cao Ba and others reacted, more than a dozen soldiers had already lost their lives.
"You hiding cowards, come out here! Fight with me if you can!" Cao Ba was furious and roared repeatedly, but Xu Qingfeng was the only one who responded to him.
Next, Cao Ba and others were attacked by various attacks almost every few dozen meters. Although not many soldiers died each time, the whole team was extremely frightened.
They were not afraid of death, otherwise they would not have dared to attack the Xia army's camp with three thousand men. But what was terrible was that they watched their comrades around them die one by one, but they could never find the shadow of the enemy. The enemy was like a ghost, appearing and disappearing.
Even if they faced the elite regular army, they dared to fight, but facing this ghost-like enemy, the Shang soldiers gradually lost the courage to resist.
"Hahahaha, boss, it's so exciting. Look, those Shang guys are going crazy with fear. Boss, I admire you so much. You're so powerful at killing enemies like this!" Hou Shun said to Su Le excitedly.
Next to him, all the soldiers of the Black Water Flag also looked at him with admiration.
Su Le smiled, but suddenly said with a hint of emotion: "Although conspiracy is an excellent means to win the battle, many evenly matched and even weak parties rely on it to win, but you remember, if you want to always win,
Your own strength is the most critical! As long as you are strong enough, all enemies will crawl at your feet!"
Seeing everyone's expressions of half-understanding and hard thinking, Su Le nodded secretly in his mind. The road ahead would be extremely difficult, and he was prepared to teach everyone the experience he had gained before the time-travel in a subtle way.
He always believed that as long as he learned enough knowledge and had a platform to show off, even the humblest martial artist could shine in the Tianfang Continent.
"Okay, the enemy's morale has dropped to the lowest level. Send the order and launch a general attack with all flags!" Su Le waved the battle flag and gave the order.
He was the first to rush out, and his target was Cao Ba, the leader of the Shang army. The strength of the enemy soldiers in front of him reached the eighth level of martial soldiers, making him the strongest opponent he had faced since his rebirth!
He had seen the opponent's power with his own eyes before. The iron birch wood fired by a bucket of water was enough to kill dozens of ordinary soldiers, but it was shot into pieces by Cao Ba.
Although the victory was determined, he did not want to give Cao Ba a chance to fight against the trapped beast.
Seeing Su Le and others coming out, Cao Ba shouted angrily: "You damn cowards, have a taste of how powerful I, Cao Ba, am!"
Su Le shot an arrow, but Cao Ba easily blocked it.
"Boy, do you only know these low-level methods?"
Cao Ba's spear thrust forward with an overwhelming momentum. The tip of the spear thrust out a white line in the air, as fast as lightning.
It was too late for Su Le to dodge. No, Su Le didn't dodge at all. Instead, he stabbed out with the same sharp spear, as if he was risking his life.
But just when Cao Ba's spear was about to hit Su Le, Cao Ba strangely discovered that the air in front of Su Le surged slightly like a wave. His spear hit Su Le, but it hit Su Le's heart.
Off by a full inch!
And the tip of Su Le's spear had penetrated his throat!
No! This is impossible!
I am a master of the eighth level of martial arts. Even Xia Jun's martial arts can't keep me. How could I lose to a boy who has just broken through the martial arts?
how come!
Cao Ba slowly fell down, with a look of reluctance on his face!
