"There is no dangerous terrain ahead. The route we are taking is still an endless plain. It is impossible to have an ambush here, because the distance we can see should be about one kilometer. Even if there is an ambush,
We can easily detect an ambush within one kilometer." Wesley thought for a moment and said immediately, "Besides, their army totals only 500,000 people, and there are nearly 500,000 who escaped in front of us.
I can't think of any other way they could set up an ambush."
"You are right. They really shouldn't have more troops to set up an ambush." Huang Botao thought for a moment and said immediately, "Order the army to rest and recuperate, and continue the pursuit in half an hour."
"Yes." Wesley responded and immediately went to deliver the order.
In this way, they chased one after another and unknowingly ran a distance of nearly a hundred kilometers. At nine o'clock in the evening, it was getting dark. Huang Botao and the others finally caught up with Beigong Zangfeng's army in front. However, at this time, Huang Botao felt a little
Hesitated.
"Wesley, how big is the forest in front of us?" Huang Botao asked hesitantly as he looked at the enemy troops who had rushed into the forest.
"It doesn't look very big from the map, because this is a small valley. The depth of this forest is only two or three kilometers, but it is very wide. There are hills on both sides. This should be regarded as a valley, but this valley
There is a plain area behind again, how about we go around it?" Wesley thought for a while and said.
"Wouldn't it be necessary to walk at least dozens of kilometers to go around? By then, the enemy troops will not know where they have fled, and this is the time when they cannot catch their breath." Huang Botao frowned slightly and said, "Since the woods
It’s not very deep. We should catch up immediately and be sure to follow closely behind the enemy, so that even if they have a trick, they won’t be able to launch it. Besides, such a small forest cannot stop my million-strong army.”
"The whole army is speeding up and must pursue the enemy through this forest." Wesley heard what Huang Botao said and felt that it made sense. At this time, he had already begun to issue orders to several generals around him.
Without any hesitation, Huang Botao led a few warriors and rushed into the woods.
It didn't take long for Huang Botao to lead the leading army through the forest, which was not very big. "Hmph, I thought Beigong Zangfeng might have some tricks up his sleeve, but it seems I was overthinking it. Wesley, there are still more people ahead."
Is there such a terrain?"
"No, a large area ahead is still a plain area. Although there are many cities in the middle, there are no good positions to hold on to. And as far as I know, 200 kilometers ahead is an important city for their Beigong family.
, that should be their base." Wesley said quickly.
"It seems that they want to escape to their lair. The whole army is speeding up. I must wipe them out before they escape back to their lair. I don't think they can last long." Huang Botao heard Wesley say this
He said he immediately felt more confident.
"Yes." Wesley responded and led a group of warriors to follow Huang Botao, following closely behind the vanguard army and chasing Beigong Zangfeng's army that fled in front. Although Huang Botao's army was already a little tired at this time,
His faith was very sufficient.
After continuing to rush forward for a while, the sky had darkened. At this moment, a messenger quickly arrived at Huang Botao's side. At this time, Huang Botao also noticed that the soldiers behind him were a little confused, and they just walked over.
There was a thick smoke coming from the woods.
"What's going on with the smoke behind?" Seeing the smoke appearing behind him, Huang Botao began to feel a little nervous again. You must know that at this time, his army had not passed a third of the woods, and the sky was already darkening.
, nothing can go wrong at this time.
"The woods behind suddenly caught fire. There were a lot of fire starters hidden in the trees, and many enemies emerged from the trees and from under the woods to set fires. There was also some fuel to support the fire, and now the flames in the woods were burning.
Now, the soldiers in the woods are in chaos." The messenger said anxiously.
"What? How could this happen?" Huang Botao suddenly shouted in his heart that something was wrong. "Stop the pursuit. Wesley, come with me to the back immediately to take a look."
The two of them quickly returned to the edge of the woods without any explanation. At this time, the fire in the woods had completely burned out, and it seemed that it was somewhat uncontrollable.
"Quick, send the order, the soldiers will leave the woods immediately, quick." Huang Botao began to feel anxious as he looked at the increasingly fierce fire burning in front of him. He didn't know what to do for a while.
"Young Master, you can't panic at this time. The army behind us is still behind the woods. I think the enemy is likely to come towards us. What should we do now?" Wesley looked at Huang Botao who was a little panicked and said.
.
"Order the soldiers in front to shrink their formation and don't panic." Huang Botao said quickly.
However, at this moment, a warrior hurriedly came to Huang Botao's side and said in panic, "Young Master, the enemy troops who had fled in front of us came towards us, and the soldiers in front of us suffered heavy losses."
"What? Come and have a look in front with me." Upon hearing this, Huang Botao's expression suddenly changed, and he led Wesley and ran towards the front.
They had not gone far when they saw a dense rain of arrows in the sky shooting down like a storm towards the panicked army on their side. The panicked soldiers suddenly fell into chaos. In just a few minutes, the troops who were originally in a panic suddenly fell into chaos.
The nearly 300,000 troops that passed through the woods lost tens of thousands of people.
"Quick, rush out, rush over to me immediately." Huang Botao frowned and shouted loudly.
"Come forward, hurry up." Wesley had already led several warriors and rushed forward crazily.
However, not long after they rushed out, the arrow rain in front stopped, and the soldiers who originally belonged to Beigong Zangfeng began to retreat like a tide, leaving Huang Botao no chance to pursue them.
"These bastards." Seeing the enemy fleeing far away again, Huang Botao was really angry, but for a while there was nothing he could do.
"What should we do now?" Wesley looked at the furious Huang Botao and said in panic.
"We must set up a formation here and defend for two days. Don't forget that there is still our 700,000-strong army behind this forest. I don't believe that they have the ability to eat up the main force of our army. They already have nearly 100,000 troops here.
There are 500,000 people, where are they going to steal people to strangle our 700,000 troops?" Huang Botao said with a frown.
"Could they have borrowed the Chinese Empire's army?" Wesley thought for a while and asked.
"How is it possible? We have investigated it in detail before. They have not been in contact with the Chinese Empire since they arrived here. Besides, there is no army of the Chinese Empire here. And the Phoenix Legion closest to here has our army of 300,000.
Look, how can they take action? What's more, it's impossible for the Chinese Empire to dare to confront us head-on." Huang Botao said with certainty, "We can get out of trouble as long as the fire is extinguished."
