Chapter 57 Ambush
"General, everything is fine!"

Half an hour later, figures flashed and hundreds of scouts returned from different directions. They checked the mountains on both sides and found nothing unusual.

Having said that, Chu Zhuang still didn't relax.

He always felt something was wrong.

Not intuition.

Instead, put yourself in other people's shoes and think from their perspective.

This mountain range is perfect for ambushes.

If he was the enemy's commander, when attacking Luojing City, he would definitely deploy an army here to block Luojing City's reinforcements.

Without completely annihilating the enemy, it can also have a delaying effect.

He could think of it.

That means the enemy commander could also think of it.

wrong.

Any general who has fought in many battles will know the importance of this place.

"No more searches!"

Chu Zhuang thought about it for a while, but didn't dare to take any risks, so he ordered again: "This time, expand the search area a little bit and make some noise!"

"As ordered!"

The scouts saluted and took off into the air.

After a few flashes, he disappeared without a trace like a ghost.

Chu Zhuang was not idle either. He rose from the ground like a roc and hovered in the sky. His eyes were shining brightly as he overlooked the surrounding area.

The whole area within a radius of more than ten miles is in sight.

"still none?"

Chu Zhuang personally inspected the area but still found nothing unusual. He frowned slightly and couldn't help muttering, was he being too suspicious?
Also a possibility!

It has only been a month or two since Ye Jiuxing rebelled. Being able to mobilize an army is already the limit, and it is impossible to set up an intelligence agency.

Perhaps, Ye Jiuxing and his side had no idea that he was rushing to Luojing for help.

Since we don't know, it would be reasonable not to station troops here.

Chu Zhuang thought about it, dismounted from his warhorse, and waited for the scout's report.

After a while, scouts continued to come back, but they found nothing new.

normal!

Chu Zhuang let out a breath, thought no more, and led his troops forward.

Travel at night!
According to Chu Zhuang's original plan, he would wait until tomorrow morning before crossing the mountains to ensure safety. After all, visibility is poor at night, and it would be difficult to break through if he really encountered danger.

But at this moment, the situation in Luojing City is critical and the city may be breached at any time.

He can't control that much.

can not wait anymore!

We can't just watch Luojing City fall, can we?

The army moves forward.

The sound of horse hooves was like thunder.

It reverberates on both sides of the mountains, producing waves of echoes.

at the same time.

On the other side of the mountain.

Cao Chun realized that Chu Zhuang had fallen into a trap, smiled, and ordered loudly: "Brothers, the time to make achievements has come, follow me to kill!"

As he spoke, he swung the whip and whipped hard.

The dragon horse neighs.

It rushed forward at an extremely fast speed, like a flash of blood-red lightning.

Behind him followed three thousand Tiger and Leopard Riders. Each dragon horse carried four armored soldiers, one of whom was a Tiger and Leopard Rider, and the other three were archers.

If it were an ordinary warhorse, carrying four people, it probably wouldn't last long.

But the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are different.

The war horses under their crotches have the bloodline of monsters, and their cultivation level is at least in the Kailing realm. Whether it is speed or endurance, they are far superior to the warriors in the Zifu realm.

After a while, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry disappeared into the depths of the jungle.

Next.

They had to make a circle, rush to the exit of the mountain range before the Wind Controlling Army, and set up an ambush.

And this is also the reason why Chu Zhuang did not discover the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

Ambush? Definitely!
But Cao Chun's method was more sophisticated. He wanted to wait until Chu Zhuang was sure that there was no ambush and had relaxed his vigilance before setting up an ambush to catch the enemy off guard.

No matter how hard Chu Zhuang tried, he would not realize this.

Who would have thought that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry’s mounts were so powerful?

This is a crushing of strength.

In less than half an hour, Cao Chun arrived at the selected ambush site. He immediately hid on both sides of his body, hiding in the dense jungle, holding his breath and concentrating.

Soon, the sound of horse hooves came closer and closer.

Getting closer.

Faintly, you can see flickering torches.

Just like that, after waiting for another half a quarter of an hour, Chu Zhuang led the Wind Controlling Army into the encirclement.

Cao Chun narrowed his eyes and did not make a move. The enemy had just entered the ambush circle and had not yet gone deep into it. He would have to let more people in to fight in order to have more fun.

When you are a hunter, you must stay calm!

You must not show your true colors and scare away your prey!

There was no doubt that Cao Chun was a qualified hunter. He had been waiting patiently until the Wind Controlling Army had completely entered the encirclement. He suddenly stood up and shouted, "Attack!"

"Shhhhhh!"

A harsh sound broke through the air.

Ten thousand archers took the lead in launching the attack, and the arrows they shot were not ordinary arrows, but were blessed by Cao Chun and were extremely powerful.

Arrows rain down!

But it did not lose its sharpness, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and as if it had eyes, it shot towards the soldiers of the Wind Controlling God Army.

Its speed is so fast that it is frightening, like a beam of light, leaving people unable to react.

"what!"

Suddenly, many soldiers of the Wind God Army were hit by arrows. The violent force exploded, directly torn their bodies into pieces. Even if they were just scratched, they could not escape death.

Blood splattered everywhere.

Soldiers of the Wind Controlling Army fell one after another.

"This"

Seeing thousands of soldiers killed in the blink of an eye, Chu Zhuang's pupils shrank sharply and he was filled with anger, but he quickly reacted and shouted loudly: "Set up the formation and kill them!"

Damn!

His hunch was accurate.

The enemy had indeed set an ambush, but why in this place?

He had sent scouts to check this place before!
boom!
The Wind Controlling Army was an elite force with extremely fast reaction speed. Under the dense rain of arrows, they began to deploy a defensive formation and launched a charge forward.

Even so, their casualties still reached a huge number of 20,000.

"Keep shooting!"

Cao Chun ordered in a cold voice.

shhhhhh!
Another round of arrows rained down.

But this time, thanks to the defense of the military soul, the army was not harmed.

However, it still weakens the power of the military soul.

Chu Zhuang ignored him and looked at the two sides of the mountain. A hint of anger and annoyance flashed in his eyes, and he shouted loudly: "Speed ​​up!"

Among the mountains, the cavalry could not deploy their troops or form a strong battle formation.

Only by leaving the mountains and reaching the plains can we display our strength, gather our military spirit and launch a counterattack.

This is also the limitation of the military!
The army is strong!

It can even allow Chu Zhuang to unleash the combat power of the Saint Realm.

But in this case, the biggest flaw is exposed.

"Fire arrows!"

Cao Chun saw Chu Zhuang's plan, raised the corner of his mouth, revealed a sneer, and said in a deep voice: "Until they get out of the encirclement, keep shooting arrows, don't stop!"

After saying this, Cao Chun's body shook and disappeared out of thin air.

At the foot of the mountain, in a relatively flat area, three thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry stood quietly, holding their weapons, with solemn expressions, ready to charge at any time.

"kill!"

Cao Chun appeared out of nowhere, gripped his sword tightly, and led the army to charge out.

hunting!

It’s officially started!

The arrows shot from the mountain are just appetizers!
