"Fortress leader, we're here." Zhuo Ke reached out and carefully helped Wu Gen down, and pointed to a tall pillar in the distance.
Wu Gen moved his hands and feet, held up his knife and looked around. The fog here has become extremely thin, and you can see the stars in the eastern sky.
Looking from a distance, under the dark blue sky, a bright eye hangs in the sky, constantly spitting out gray-white light, which looks very conspicuous in the night sky.
"The journey went smoothly. Did the other party notice us?" Wu Gen asked as he watched. He was blind and deaf along the way, so he didn't know what was going on around him.
"Fortunately, I have this armor with me. I met some small groups of thieves, but I didn't ask any questions. Now the coalition forces are also scattered in the ridge. Our small group moved without the other party noticing." Zhuo Ke quickly replied.
"When are we going to sneak attack on the barrier-breaking pupil?" Ji Ye leaned over and asked in a low voice.
Looking at the dark shadow under the barrier-breaking eyes, Wu Gen leaned forward slightly, "Let's go, let's approach the military camp first. When our people mobilize the coalition forces, someone will help us in."
"Who?" Ji Ye looked slightly stunned. Wu Gen had never mentioned this before coming.
"Bu Kuan." After hesitating for a moment, Wu Gen told the truth.
"Is it reliable?" Ji Ye was a little worried.
"His daughter is in my hands." Wu Gen took out a finger cymbal from his arms and handed it to Luo Zhang, "I guess Yang Houzheng taught you how to activate it before coming here."
"Don't worry, Master, Yang Houzheng has already taught you." Luo Zhang said in a deep voice, putting the cymbal between his fingers.
"Wu Zhenfu, if you have any other backup plans, you might as well tell them all." Ji Jing's tone was slightly dissatisfied.
"Okay, now that we are here, I will tell you all about the plan." Wu Gen gathered a few people together and found a place with dense grass. "Because there are so many people in the camp, it is inconvenient to say more. , and also asked Ji Zhen to caress Haihan.
In order to protect the barrier-breaking pupil, the coalition forces placed it in the Chinese army camp. I have sent people to contact the Lu family's governor. After a while, he will send his closest people to lead us into the camp. After I pretend to move my troops out of Yiwu, Bu Kuan will find a way to mobilize more men and horses in the camp to create opportunities for us to attack by surprise.
When you reach the barrier-breaking pupil, ask Ji Zhenfu and Ji Rui to take charge while the others cover. In addition, I have already informed the captain of the water school and asked him to participate in the raid when the time comes.
Everyone, if things don't work out, immediately find a way to retreat to Yiwu and use the advantages of armor to quickly return to the camp.
If we can get away with destroying the barrier-breaking pupil, we still have to return to Yiwu. According to the prisoners of the Gu family, without the barrier-breaking pupil, although Zhishuijing can no longer see the scene in the fog, it can still illuminate the road. In this way, the enemy and I can at least be in the same situation, and the Gu family will no longer be able to retreat. "
After hearing Wu Gen's plan, Ji Jing's expression brightened slightly, "Thank you Wu Zhenfu for being honest. The barrier-breaking pupil must be broken. Before I came here, I originally thought about whether I could get out of the fog, but after exploring the surroundings, I found that The scope of the fog has expanded again. It seems that the thieves are still sending people to expand this formation. They want to drag us into the fog.
As soon as we leave the strong military stronghold, the thieves will definitely attack aggressively. The lives of more than 20,000 brothers from the Northern and Southern armies depend on whether you and I can capture this barrier-breaking pupil today. "
Wu Gen frowned, "More than 20,000 people? Why were so many killed in battle?"
Ji Ye looked gloomy and let out a long sigh, "Before coming, I counted the troops in each camp of the Confederate Army. Only 13,000 people were left, and a total of 10,000 horses were lost. Although there may still be some people scattered in the mountains. , but how can we find them at this time. I have sent people to sneak out to deliver a message and asked Yuan Xin to send 10,000 troops to support them. "
"Yuan Xin's place is going to be very difficult. Anyway, the current plan is to defeat the enemy as soon as possible. If we delay it, I'm afraid we won't be able to sustain food and grass." Wu Gen looked worried and tore off a tree beside him. Grass stems.
Nowadays, both the Northern and Southern armies are trapped in the fog, and there are so few Zhishui mirrors at the moment. It is not easy to ensure the use of each military camp, and it is difficult to transport food and grass from outside. Now that the initiative in the war lies in the hands of the coalition forces, even if they waste their time, they can slowly drag down the Northern and Southern armies to death.
"Now that the thieves have gathered in Jishuitai one after another, if I can get rid of the mist, I will have a way to kill a large number of coalition soldiers.
Soldier, in this way, the contrast between the enemy's and our own forces will not be as disparity as it is now. Seeing that Wu Gen was a little depressed, Ji Ye patted him on the shoulder and told him not to worry too much.
"Is it Lingwei?" Wu Gen's expression changed slightly, and he turned to look at Ji Rui, who was alert to the surrounding movements.
"Yes, we originally set up the camp in front of Jishui Platform with such a plan, but we didn't expect the thieves to resort to such methods." Ji Ye shook his head slightly, with a look of reluctance on his face.
"Have you contacted that person?" Wu Gen glanced at him, moved a few steps closer to Ji Ye, and asked quietly.
"Contacted, but the other party didn't respond. They were obviously waiting and watching." Ji Ye's face showed anger and he clenched his fists.
"If possible, I plan to contact him face to face and try to persuade him." Wu Gen was not surprised by Ji Ye's answer. "When the time comes, tell me what kind of reward you plan to give him."
At this moment, there were flickers of fire in the Chinese army camp opposite, and a column of men and horses came out of the camp and galloped north.
Wu Gen stood up straight and stared at the fire dragon as it meandered away. "Let's go to the camp. Luo Zhang, activate the cymbals and be careful to sense the other party's response."
Luo Zhang quickly moved the finger cymbals. The finger cymbals were as light as cicada wings but did not make any sound.
The group of people crouched down and quietly walked in the direction of the camp, carefully avoiding the soldiers patrolling around them. After walking less than two miles, Luo Zhang's brows suddenly twitched, "Fortress leader, the other party has responded."
"Okay, be careful and follow the thumb cymbals to guide you forward." Wu Gen's heart gradually rose. Although he sent Yang Zheng and Bu Kuan to get on the line, and the other party agreed to help, the situation is still unclear. If they regret it, , if you set up a trap and bring yourself into the camp, you won't be able to escape even if you want to, and you have to catch up with Ji Ye and others. .
There is no other way. Now that the Northern and Southern armies are in dire straits, they can only take a gamble.
Under the cover of night and terrain, the group finally stopped in front of a crooked-neck tree outside the coalition camp. Under the tree, a person was waiting silently.
Luo Zhang winked at Wu Gen, who quickly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Your Excellency was sent by Bu Zhenfu."
The person who came was a young man, his whole body wrapped in armor. When he saw Wu Gen, he nodded, "Follow me." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the camp.
When they reached the camp gate, someone opened the gate and let a group of people in. The man waved his hand, and the village door quickly closed again.
After taking a look at the dazzling white armor on Wu Gen and others, he waved, and someone sent ten black robes to put on Wu Gen and others.
Wu Gen looked around. This was a small independent village. Compared to the crowded military village in the north, it was much quieter here.
Walking through large and small tents, we stopped in front of a small tent. In another military camp not far across the way, a tall iron tower stood impressively, stretching straight into the night sky.
At the top of the tower, a giant eye with a radius of five feet was rolling in the night. Like a huge torch, it kept emitting light and illuminated the black night sky.
The barrier-breaking pupil quietly looked at the mist not far away, like a giant hidden between heaven and earth, looking at the prey in the trap with indifference, polishing his teeth, ready to devour it at any time.
The cold light swept over Wu Gen and the others, and a chill surged through their hearts. Even Ji Rui, who had always been expressionless, had a slight expression on his face.
Being able to create such a huge eye and set up such a large formation shows the strength of the Gu family. If it hadn't been for the rebellion among several families this time, given time, the power of the Gu family, which had been dormant for a long time, would have greatly increased, and I'm afraid the Iron Hand Province would really have to change its surname to Gu.
"Everyone, please." The man leading the way opened the curtain of the small tent.
Wu Gen and others gathered their thoughts and ducked into the tent. There was only one candle lit inside, which made it look much darker than outside.
"Everyone, the governor has taken the initiative to encircle the troops who are trying to attack. He said that if you want to take action, now is not the best time. You must wait until he leads the troops back on the road before taking action. Because he will Send the news of driving away the thieves in advance, and then people will relax their vigilance.
Zhen Fu said that due to the barrier-breaking pupils, the entire Chinese army was light in front and heavy in the back.
There are fewer people in the mist. Regardless of success or failure, please retreat from here. The old man will mobilize most of his troops to intercept tonight.
Zhen Fu also said that this time the Gu family specially sent a master from the fifth realm to guard Breaking Barrier Tong. Together with Ba Yueze, Gu Gan and others, there were at least three masters from the fifth realm in the camp. There are also other soldiers and horses, so please hurry up if you take action.
The governor also explained that the coalition forces were expanding their camps and were preparing to stay here for a period of time, as if they were waiting for someone.
The last sentence is what I said. If we are defeated and surrounded this time, I hope you all die early and don't implicate my family. "
In the small tent, the young man had an expressionless face and spoke as if reciting.
Just as Ji Ye was about to speak, Wu Gen put his hand on his arm, stood up and saluted, "Thank you for your help, brother. I don't know what to call him."
The man glanced at Wu Gen coldly, "I am the adopted son of the town, Bu Balcong. My sister is fine."
"It's very good. Qiyin eats well and sleeps well at my place. I just miss Zhenfu and Xiongtai a little, and I hope that the family can be reunited soon." Wu Gen looked at the other party with a smile.
The man sneered, did not answer, and opened the curtain and left the small tent.
Wu Gen was not at all annoyed by the other party's impoliteness, so he turned around and sat down. It's strange to be happy when you take advantage of someone else's sister. However, this just shows that Bu Kuan has no intention of attacking his group, otherwise the other party would definitely not have such an attitude.
"Wu Gen, even though Bu Kuan has made many arrangements, the ten of us still have little chance of winning in a sneak attack. Cong Yue has made good arrangements." Ji Ye looked worried and tightened the sword at his side. hilt.
"Don't worry, Cong Yue, he will definitely come." Wu Gen gently patted Ji Ye's shoulder and glanced at everyone around him.
"Everyone, we only have one chance for this assault. We will discuss it in advance. Please ask Ji Zhenfu to use the Sky-shaking Bow to shoot down the barrier-breaking pupil, ask Ji Rui to try to cut off the tower, and I, the Second Young Master and others will intercept and support enemy.
If the attack fails, don't be reluctant to fight and retreat quickly. I just took a closer look and found that there are only about 150 steps from the tower to Yiwu. I have fewer people this time, so if we run faster, the enemy will not be able to stop us. Until then, we just wait for the opportunity. Wu Yang, go watch what's going on outside. "Wu Gen repeated the task again and sat down safely. There is no use being anxious at this time, it is better to recharge your batteries.
In the small tent, time passed little by little, and everyone remained silent, silently adjusting their breath. The movement in the military camp to the north gradually subsided. It must be that the Chinese army saw that the camp was safe, and many people returned to the camp to rest.
Finally, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and Zhang Wuyang walked in, "Zhao Master, Bu Ba Cong is here, you can take action."
Wu Genteng stood up, his eyes bright, "Everyone, prepare to attack, success or failure depends on this."
