C48 (2/2)
After Han Zaixin and Xu Keding received the scout's report, they immediately adjusted their direction, drew a large arc in the air, and madly rushed towards the Wolf Drinking Town.
If one were to look at it from high up in the sky, with Surging Waves River as the upper boundary, and Tiger Roar City as the lower boundary, the four troops would draw four arcs on the canvas with the Great Prairie as the background, and the lines would coalesce into a huge dragon at a place very close to the Surging Waves River.
Actually Xiu'er and the rest didn't want to rush it either. Their original plan was to cross Surging Waves River and use Surging Waves River as a barrier. Three hundred people was simply too few. In such a vast land with such a vast Moqiu State, not even a single ripple could be felt. Since that was the case, he might as well create a commotion. When Fire Phoenix Empire's red cloak appeared near the Moqiu City, it meant that a piece of history had been born.
Not long after they left the city, they heard that the reinforcements from the three Tiger King s had arrived at Tiger Roar City. After that, they scouted the surroundings and discovered that the three squads were actually following them like madmen. They practically ran without rest, quickly closing the distance between them.
Qu Feizhi calculated that if everything went according to plan, then they would be caught up to by the other side just before crossing the river. At that time, if three hundred against fifteen thousand, he would still be nailed to the riverbank, which meant that he would have no chance of winning at all.
Chen Chu frowned as he searched the map inch by inch. In the end, he pointed to the Wolf Drinking Town and said, ”Here, you can enter directly at the Moqiu City and if you retreat, you can go straight down to the Wulian Mountain Range. You can also cross the river to the south and go straight to the Phoenix City Pass.”
strong man also stared at it for a while, before pointing to a place four to five kilometers away from the Wolf Drinking Town: ”I think we can think of something here?”
Qu Feizhi's eyes lit up, and slapped strong man's back: ”Sure, this place is really okay.”
The Xiu'er suddenly asked, ”Can you rely on your subordinates? Um, Brother strong man, don't misunderstand, I am not questioning the strength of the Wulian Border Army brothers, but rather, I am worried about whether the new people you have created can do it or not, so you must not plan this according to the strength of the Wulian Border Army. ”
strong man laughed, ”If we don't let this group of people fight a real battle, then we can never. ”We'll have to force them to break all ties with Mo Qiu.”
”This is called a voting position.” Chen Chu grinned, ”Relax, even if there were 1000 people, there would only be 100 left. These 100 are all elites, it's better than the 1000 that never fought. Don't you think so? ” Saying this, he deliberately leered at Fat Cui.
Fat Cui was already used to Chen Chu's viciousness. He stared at the spot where strong man's finger was pointing, gritted his teeth and said, ”Masters, you are right! It's time for them to see the blood! ”
Since several people had made up their minds, the next step would be to formulate a battle plan. Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi led the troops and advanced towards their target, the Wolf Drinking Town. Xiu'er, strong man and Fat Cui led the new set of battalion and turned towards the ravine outside the town. They purposefully slowed down their pace to create a false impression that they had been left behind by the cavalry. He believed that, due to their mastery of intelligence, the enemy general would come looking for him on his own accord.
Everything was going as Chen Chu and the rest had expected, the cavalry was deliberately controlling their speed, while the new set of battalion was being flung further and further away, like an innocent hero who had been abandoned by his enemies. They followed the previous route, wanting to find a place where they could hide and escape into the chaos of battle.
The borders of the Moqiu State were mostly flat grasslands, but that did not mean that there was not a single mountain or ditch. Especially around the Surging Waves River Basin, there were quite a few famous valleys and trenches. Most of these places were traces of the ancient river. The roads were narrow and crowded, the interior damp and cold. Although it was impossible for humans to live here, it was more than enough to hide for a while.
According to the Fat Cui, this place was called Sunset Ditch and it was once a branch of the Surging Waves River billions of years ago. Then the water level dropped and the vein ran out of water, becoming a long ravine. The reason it was called Sunset Ditch was because this ravine extended east-west, and was also high east, west, and low west. It was extremely suitable for observing the setting sun. Plus, the bottom of the ditch was relatively flat, allowing three to five people to ride in a straight line, so this place was now considered a pretty decent spot. If it really was the strong men who were being carried away, then it was reasonable for them to come here to hide for a while.
When it was later that day, Xu Keding's scouts had already contacted them. Under the cold gaze of the Xiu'er and strong man, the Fat Cui replied smoothly to the scouts. He truthfully explained the forces, equipment, and even the ranks of Chen Chu and the scouts from afar.
In the end, he hoped that the scout would pass on a few words to General Xu. Even though he had been brought out from the Tiger Roar City by them, he was also an officer of the city guards with Tiger Roar City back then. Right now, he wanted these strong warriors who had never fought before to be placed in Sunset Ditch, then he hoped to join General Xu's side, to help Moqiu Army charge into battle, to wash away his shame! At the same time, Fat Cui made a suggestion. The location of the Sunset Ditch was concealed, so General Xu could lead the troops to enter the Sunset Ditch and circle to the other side of the Wolf Drinking Town. This way, they could form a pincer attack against the fire phoenix army and completely eliminate the hidden danger, ensuring that not a single one would remain!
The scout quickly brought back Xu Keding's reply.
Xu Keding was anxious about this matter, the main thing was that he did not want to see Bai Wusheng snatching the contribution points away. Bai Wusheng was someone with a high eyesight, so both he and Han Zaixin couldn't see through him. If he were to snatch the battle's top prize, wouldn't he have to look at his face in the future? He decided to follow what the Fat Cui said. After leading his group through the Sunset Ditch, he directly circled to the other side of the Wolf Drinking Town. Not only could he stop the chaotic Fire Phoenix Army, he could also take the opportunity to obstruct Bai Wusheng's troops a little. As for Han Zaixin, he followed the original route to block them off, and with the help of the Surging Waves River of both sides, he would definitely destroy the fire phoenix army!
After making up his mind, Xu Keding gave the order: The entire army must hurry to Sunset Ditch! He wanted to kill two birds with one stone, stop Bai Wusheng, and destroy Fire Phoenix Army!
