After listening to the young man's words, the burly middle-aged ghost man thought for a moment, nodded and ordered: "Deploy the army, attack the old ghost in red, and seize the territory."
The ghost army ambushed in the crop fields immediately rushed out like a tide, and the strong and extremely cold breath rushed towards them, making all the human soldiers feel chilly in their hearts. A strong sense of panic surged into their hearts, and they felt extremely cold all over their bodies.
Feng Zhang looked at the ghost army coming in like a wave and immediately shouted anxiously: "Everyone break out and retreat immediately, quickly, quickly!"
Amidst Feng Zhang's anxious shouts, the human army immediately woke up from shock and panic, and followed their company and ran in all directions.
In an instant, the whole scene turned into human troops fleeing in all directions, and the ghost army rolling forward like a tide. Many human troops who failed to avoid the ghost army's path in time were instantly submerged into the ghost army. After the ghost army passed by, the human army in a straight line was swallowed up.
More than 20,000 human troops encountered hundreds of thousands of ghost troops. In panic, the ghost army marched across the border in just a few minutes. The commander of the human army, Feng Zhang, woke up and looked at the man who was being carried by the ghosts and sitting on the dragon chair. The leader of the ghost army had a confused look in his eyes.
At this moment, Feng Zhang didn't understand why this wave of ghost army did not attack the human army, but just passed by the human army. Under his panic command, some human soldiers blocked the path of the ghost army, causing these soldiers to be innocent. After a tragic death, a panic, grief and a deep sense of self-blame rose from the bottom of my heart.
Looking at the retreating figures of the ghost army, Feng Zhang's soldier's perseverance made him calm down. He immediately directed the gathered soldiers to collect the corpses of the tragically dead soldiers and count the casualties.
After the statistics were completed, Feng Zhang found that only five to six thousand soldiers had been gathered, and six to seven hundred soldiers had died tragically in accidents. The remaining sixteen or seven thousand soldiers had disappeared without a trace during the order to break out.
After pondering carefully for a while, there was no better way. Feng Zhang had no choice but to take the five or six thousand soldiers back to the imperial capital barracks, report the situation to his superiors first, and then see how things progressed.
The 16,000 to 16,000 human troops who escaped from the encirclement were divided into more than a hundred companies. At this time, some companies retreated towards the imperial capital, and some retreated towards various farms. The entire space was extremely open, which could greatly avoid being invaded by the ghosts. The army surrounded them, leading to a situation where the entire army was annihilated.
Wang Xiao followed Li Yun's company in the direction of retreat towards the farm, and was accompanied by soldiers from another company, with a total of less than 200 troops. They cautiously advanced towards the farm, intending to take shelter in a nearby farm first. After a while, after the ghost army left, they turned back to the Imperial Capital Military Camp.
At this time, everyone still didn’t know that the encounter with the ghost army was just a ridiculous joke, but in terms of tactical literacy, Li Yun’s approach was extremely correct. He did not compete with other company soldiers for the retreat route to the imperial capital. This can greatly avoid the concentration of troops, causing the ghost army to easily surround and annihilate the human army.
It was quiet all around. Wang Xiao looked at Farm No. 104 in front of him and felt the atmosphere of the farm carefully. After a while, Wang Xiao said to Li Yun: "There is no one in the farm. The situation should be similar to Farm No. 108."
Li Yun breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then gave the order to the company soldiers to enter the farm to rest. After entering the farm, the soldiers found some rations and drinking water from the farm buildings, replenished food and water, and alleviated the consumption of the previous battle. physical strength and fatigue.
Wang Xiao sat on the ground, with his back against the door of the house, holding a piece of sesame seed cake in his hand, eating it slowly, looking sharply outside the farm, carefully guarding against the ghosts who might attack and kill him.
After eating sesame seed cakes in several mouthfuls and drinking a bottle of drinking water, Wang Xiao began to practice to restore the energy consumed in the core of his body. His mind gradually sank into his core. As the energy slowly recovered, Wang Xiao felt that he was about to break through. Feel.
At this time, instead of breaking through to the third level, there is a high probability that he will be surrounded by ghosts. The top priority is to restore the core energy. Otherwise, if he encounters the ghost army again, he will have to transform into a ghost to have a chance to survive.
After an unknown amount of time, Wang Xiao slowly opened his eyes. The core energy in his body had been completely restored. He stood up and looked at Li Yun and asked, "How long has it been? Is there any movement of the ghost army?"
Li Yun shook his head and said in a deep voice: "For about a quarter of an hour, no sign of the ghost army was found. I plan to march towards the imperial capital. What do you think?"
Wang Xiao pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said seriously: "What we encountered should be the red-circled ghost tribe in the southeast of the imperial capital. The hundreds of thousands of ghost tribes are very likely to form a pincer attack with the red-circled ghost tribe in the east. Some of the human troops should break out towards the imperial capital, so they will be surrounded by the ghosts. The more than 20,000 human troops on this mission will most likely be in trouble."
After listening to Wang Xiao's analysis, Li Yun felt that judging from the current situation, the general situation would be similar to what Wang Xiao said. He couldn't help but feel a strong sense of sadness in his heart, but he still held on to the one-tenth-thousandth chance of a miracle.
The two of them pondered for a while, and Wang Xiao said: "I suggest that we retreat toward the back mountain, bypass this fighting position, and return to the imperial capital from the south."
Li Yun took out the map from his pocket, looked at it, and after a while he said in a deep voice: "The east and southeast are the marching routes of the ghost army. There will definitely be ghost troops staying behind. Let's get between these two directions." Pass through the corner, go around to the rear of the two ghost armies, and then return to the imperial capital from the south."
Wang Xiao and another company commander looked at the map. Wang Xiao said in a deep voice: "It's feasible. The two ghost armies will definitely not blend together. There will definitely be a gap in the middle. The ghost army will definitely not think that we will." Pass right under their noses.”
After planning the marching route, Li Yun and Wang Xiao immediately led a company of about 200 people towards the mountain behind the farm. Walking in the quiet and cold mountain forest, everyone did not dare to speak loudly and moved forward cautiously. Be alert to the situation in all directions.
After marching for about half an hour, Wang Xiao, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped and frowned, looking ahead in confusion, as if there was something puzzling on his mind.
Li Yun and another company commander stopped when they saw this and asked softly: "Have you discovered anything?"
Wang Xiao nodded and said softly: "Five hundred meters ahead, there are extremely strong cold air fluctuations. The amplitude of the fluctuations is extremely violent, as if ghost soldiers are fighting, but will the human army get there?"
