Chapter 259 Ambush
[You choose to take the initiative to ask for a fight. 】
[Faced with the situation where Chengzhou is about to be handed over to others, you can't bear it anymore. 】
[With your life as guarantee, you borrow 10,000 elite troops from Emperor Qi, named Tianfeng Army. 】
[Three thousand new troops and ten thousand strangers are all the power in your hands. 】
[You will fight against the elite army of the demon army. 】
[It’s hard to recover when water falls. In this battle, we can only win but not lose. 】
Of course, this battle can only be won but not defeated.
If he loses, he will be the "sinner" of the Daqi Dynasty.
After all, according to the officials, as long as they do not retreat and defend to the death, the demon army will be defeated without any attack.
It is equivalent to a stable victory, but before that, the people of Chengzhou need to endure the ravages of some demons.
Once this battle is defeated, it will be like handing over the upcoming victory to the demons.
Having lost both his elite army and his victory, isn’t he an “eternal sinner”?
When he is defeated, the officials will definitely try their best to discredit him in order to show his wise vision.
…
[You don't pay attention to the rumors. At this time, you just want to find the flaws in the demon army and hone your fighting skills. 】
[You know in your heart that although the Demonic Army is powerful in numbers, Chengzhou is vast and has many cities. Although it is vast and flat, there are too many small towns. 】
[Although the demonic army is cruel, they are all human beings. They will never kill everyone along the way, massacre cities and burn towns, but mainly focus on conquering and enslaving. 】
[Even though they burned, killed and looted a lot, these towns also divided the demon army's strength in disguise. 】
[Generally speaking, the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, but if we look at individual locations in detail, our own troops have the upper hand. 】
[As long as you grasp the opportunity of fighting and pull repeatedly, you may not have the chance to use the opportunity of the demon army to divide the troops to kill the troops, and then destroy them in one fell swoop. 】
【So, you choose...】
[A. Exploring the enemy’s situation B. Frontal combat C. Crouching and ambush D. Personal intervention]
Chen Ming first ruled out the option of frontal combat.
After some thought, the option of exploring the enemy's situation was ruled out.
The reason is simple: the Demon Army's vanguard has many cavalry and its mobility is too high.
Information on the battlefield changes rapidly. Even if you don't consider the issue of exposure, your own scouts will be sent out to get information about the enemy before returning.
The time difference in the middle may make the military information outdated and ineffective.
Moreover, the enemy's situation is quite clear.
Judging from the reports coming from the captured towns, the demonic army was divided into at least six main armies and multiple scattered raiding cavalry teams.
In other words, after breaking through the Hengjian Pass and entering the pass, tens of thousands of demon troops initially acted together.
But soon, after discovering that Nan Qi's resistance was too low, the demonic army, which played rough and wild, believed that the large force was moving and the conquest speed was too slow.
So they simply spread out, covering Chengzhou from all directions like a net.
What is madness? This is called madness. When Kuang's lone army penetrated deeply, he was still dividing his troops to fight, as if he was in a deserted land.
For hundreds of years, Nan Qi has been suppressed and beaten. In the eyes of these demon soldiers who practice demon arts and have violent tempers, Nan Qi is synonymous with weakness.
The key is, Nan Qi is really so cooperative and so weak.
If Li Guanting hadn't guaranteed his life, he would have led the troops to fight.
The entire Chengzhou was surrendered to this demonic army that was marching on horses and wielding swords.
However, the demon army's direct and open-ended tactics also gave Li Guanting an opportunity to take advantage of.
[You choose to crouch and ambush. 】
[You observe the topographic map of Chengzhou and estimate the progress of the demon army. 】
[In the end, you chose to stay in ambush outside Kuangming City. 】
[By estimating the progress of the demon army's division, you estimate that a five thousand-man Flame Demon army will advance towards Kuangming City. 】
[So, you leave a thousand Tianfeng troops in the city to guard the city, just in case something unexpected happens. 】
[Then, you set up an ambush in the "One-line Sky Canyon", which is the only way for the Flame Demon Army to march. 】
[In this battle, you only lead your 3,000 Qing Wang Army. As for the remaining 9,000 Tianfeng Army, you divide them into three places to ambush outside. 】
[One day later, the five hundred vanguard cavalry of the Flame Demon Army passed through the Yixiantian Canyon. 】
[The Qing Wang Army, which had already used military force to hide the aura of the entire army, was not discovered. 】
【So, you choose...】
[A. Ambush the cavalry B. Continue to ambush C. Deliberately expose D. Intervene personally]
[You choose to continue the ambush. 】
[In order to crouch behind the Flame Demon Army, you deliberately let go of the five hundred vanguard cavalry to make the Demon Army relax their vigilance. 】
[Half a day later, a mighty five thousand Fire Demon Army marched towards the Yixiantian Canyon, intending to invade Kuangming City. 】
[Seeing the Flame Demon Army enter the ambush range, you choose...]
[A. Immediate ambush B. Sneak attack from behind C. Frontal combat D. Personal intervention]
[You choose to ambush immediately. 】
In the distant sky, a fiery red thin line appeared.
The ground began to shake, and as the gravel beat more intensely, a burning flame appeared in the sight of the ambushing Qing Wang Army.
It is the Flame Demon Army who wears fiery red armor. The name of the Flame Demon Army comes from this armor that looks like burning flames.
Seeing the Flame Demon Army that was about to successfully enter the encirclement, Linda's hands and feet were trembling with excitement.
As a remnant of the original Guards, Lin Da, who lived and died with Li Guanting, has become the deputy commander-in-chief of the Qingwang Army.
Now in the army, he serves as deputy general to Li Guanting together with the commander of the Tianfeng Army.
Linda said softly: "Your Highness! The Flame Demon Army is here as you said! It's just waiting for your order!"
Li Guanting nodded slightly.
When the Flame Demon Army completely entered the encirclement, Li Guanting stood up and shouted loudly: "Get up!"
The golden light rose up in the Yixiantian Canyon, and finally merged into Li Guanting's body!
Li Guanting raised his dragon-horned bow like a full moon, with dark red arrows on the string.
The next moment, accompanied by the sound of air explosion, a dark red candle dragon took away all the light amidst the dragon's roar and became the only one in everyone's sight.
With a roar, the three-meter-tall Fire Demon Army commander who was riding on the horned mammoth was shot to pieces.
It's too late, it's fast. All this happened in an instant.
After several days of arranging and lurking, we only waited for this moment!
The Fire Demon Army, which had been wreaking havoc at will in recent days, had already relaxed to the extreme. It never occurred to them that there would be an ambush in the canyon that the vanguard army had traveled through!
Before the Flame Demon Army could take off, the commander was instantly volleyed and killed by Li Guanting.
Then, Li Guanting took advantage of the might of the army to still draw the arrow and bend the bow, and all the remaining five dragon energy gathered into the arrow.
Five arrows were fired in unison, and five candle dragons roared away!
The arrows turned into real dragons and wreaked havoc. Instead of dissipating in one blow, they charged into the Flame Demon Army's formation first and disrupted the formation.
"Enemy attack! Get ready!!"
A Balrog officer roared angrily, but before he could say anything else, a dark red arrow penetrated him.
Li Guanting took a deep breath, suppressed the fatigue caused by attacking with all his strength, and shouted: "Follow me and charge! Kill!"
