"General, they are coming!"
A deputy general lowered his voice and excitedly reported to Chen Ping.
Chen Ping's eyes were sharp. He didn't say anything, he just raised his hand and made a gesture not to do anything yet.
The Poison Corpse Soldiers who came from thousands of directions, numbering about five thousand in number, were led by a Yuan Kingdom general and hurried towards Phoenix Ridge in the north.
They were completely unaware that something was wrong around them...
When the team completely entered the ambush circle, Chen Ping's hand suddenly waved down.
"Fire arrows!"
In an instant, arrows rained down from the sky, and dense arrows covered the entire team of poisonous zombies.
The poisonous corpse soldiers at the front were instantly shot into hedgehogs, but the following poisonous zombies still charged forward numbly.
"Kill!"
Following Chen Ping's order, the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty who were ambushing on the hillsides on both sides descended the mountain like tigers, shouting and rushing towards the enemies in the canyon.
The soldiers of the Demon Suppression Guard are all elite, and it is easy to deal with these poisonous corpses.
The Yuan general saw this and hurriedly ordered a retreat.
Although his order was issued in time, more than three thousand poisonous corpses were lost...
Looking at the remains of poisonous corpses on the ground, Fu Jiangmen under Chen Ping had a look of pleasure on his face.
They raised their hands to Chen Ping and said, "The general has a brilliant plan! He is invincible in the world!"
Chen Ping smiled and said, "You are so ridiculous. This battle is all your fault, what does it have to do with me?"
After being humble for a while, a deputy general asked, "General , Do we need to chase them?"
Chen Ping shook his head, "No, let them escape."
"What?" the deputy general asked in confusion. "Why? General?"
"Do you know why I only let some of the demon-suppressing guards join the battle?"
This question is exactly what everyone wants to ask. Half an hour ago, Chen Ping suddenly ordered that only three schools of troops were allowed to go into battle this time.
Leading hundreds of thousands of troops to ambush here, but only allowing three thousand to attack...
This is the point. All the lieutenants were confused.
"Because I can't let them know how many people we have..."
"Guess what the general will tell Yuan Lie after he escapes?"
"Exactly. Then Yuan Lie will take it for granted that our ambush troops only have a few thousand people."
"Guess...what will he do next?"
"Only send more than 10,000 poisonous corpses?"
"Exactly!"
Hearing this, the lieutenants finally understood Chen Ping's intention.
"General, are you trying to induce them to use refueling tactics to deplete the troops at Heifeng Pass little by little?"
"Smart."
Chen Ping nodded with satisfaction, "If this After we wiped them all out this time, Yuan Lie will definitely be alert. The next time they come, it may be all the main force of Heifeng Pass.
By then, even if we can win here, we will definitely suffer heavy losses, and it will not be worthwhile.
We have eliminated all the elites. What will Your Majesty use to deal with backstabbing by allies in the future? "
"So, we must use the most reliable tactics to complete the goals set for us by General Yecheng."
"In this way, we will not violate military orders, but also preserve our country's elite, which is the best of both worlds."
"Congratulations, General!" said the lieutenants.
Chen Ping did not respond to their compliments, but just set his sights in the direction of Phoenix Ridge.
After a while, he said, "Give the order, clean the battlefield, and set up an ambush again.
Tell the brothers, the fun has just begun."
The lieutenants nodded heavily and went to convey the order.
Chen Ping stood alone at the wind outlet of the canyon, with no waves in his heart.
He knew that his plan was already half successful. Next, it depends on how Yuan Lie will respond.
He raised his head and glanced at the sky, thinking silently in his heart.
"Uncle Ye, my fighting style, Chen Ping, may be different from yours.
But our goals are the same.
In this battle, I not only want to win , but also to win beauty.
I want the people of the world to understand that not everyone can be used as cannon fodder by our soldiers!"
A confident smile appeared on the corner of Chen Ping's mouth.
"Read the songbook on a donkey, let's wait and see..."
As Chen Ping expected, in the next three days, Yuan Lie sent reinforcements one after another in the direction of Phoenix Ridge.
On the first day, two supporting armies, each with about 5,000 men, came together.
Being beaten to a pulp by Chen Ping.
The next day, there were three groups, each group increased to 8,000 people, and they all came together.
They were divided and surrounded by Chen Ping and almost annihilated.
On the third day, Yuan Lie seemed to have finally lost his patience and directly sent out two large troops of 30,000 people.
But... he was beaten to a pulp by Chen Ping and was embarrassed for the second time.
Chen Ping accurately calculated the enemy's number and marching route every time, taking full advantage of his military strength.
He ordered his troops to take turns to attack and rest, so that his troops could always maintain strong energy and combat effectiveness.
On the third night, in Huanglong City, Yuan Lie’s palace.
Yuan Lie angrily threw the battle report of Yixiantian's defeat on the ground.
He cursed, "Waste! You are all waste! Why should I feed you!"
In just three days, he had lost nearly 70,000 troops, but he did not even see the shadow of Phoenix Ridge.
The support army sent out was in a panic for the second time.
The news brought back by the defeated soldiers was also vague, saying only that the enemy troops were extremely powerful.
The number of enemy troops changes every day. Yuan Lie now doesn’t even know how many people there are in Phoenix Ridge...
"Your Majesty, please calm down!" A confidant general knelt on the ground and said tremblingly, " Judging from the news sent back by the defeated troops, there are a large number of enemy troops in the ambush.
They have set up an ambush and their tactics are tricky. Wei Chen suspects that... this may be the main force of Da Zhou or Da Yan! ”
"The main force?" Yuan Lie's eyes narrowed and he asked doubtfully, "Isn't Yecheng's main force in the direction of Duanhun Pass? Isn't Chen Ping's demon-suppressing guard attacking Phoenix Ridge?"
"Your Majesty, maybe that's just a cover!"
The general hurriedly analyzed, "Ye Cheng is a man of many tricks.
He openly asked Chen Ping to attack Fenghuang Ridge to attract our attention, but secretly he transferred all the main forces to the Yixiantian Canyon. They may be encircling the point for reinforcements!"
Yuan Lie paced back and forth in the hall, his face uncertain.
This speculation gave him a chill.
The defeats in the past few days can almost verify this guess.
But Phoenix Ridge had to be saved.
Because although the poisonous corpse army is tireless, it is not afraid of death.
However, the generals and wizards who control them are living people and need to eat.
Moreover, some important places that cannot be guarded by poisonous zombies are guarded by living people.
Once the granary is destroyed, the hundreds of thousands of living troops under his command will be in chaos without a fight.
