That night, Jiang Ze did not go back to find Gu Nian, but stayed with Chen Ling all night.
The next day, Jiang Ze opened his eyes and Chen Ling was no longer around.
Chen Ling has already led three thousand troops to the border between the two countries and set up an ambush.
One day later, Xiang Mao and his 100,000 troops encountered a minefield while traveling through the border mountains. The formation of the forward troops was disrupted, and the logistics troops were attacked by Chen Ling's cavalry.
However, due to the limited number, this kind of riot did not last long and was suppressed. Chen Ling issued an emergency retreat order. Although the cavalry was highly mobile, Xiang Mao's army was full of talents, and several generals trapped many people with their special powers. In the end, about 500 of the 3,000 troops were killed directly in the battle, and 500 were left behind by the opponent's control-type superpowers.
Xiang Mao did not kill these five hundred people, but gave them a chance to survive, which was to line up in long rows and charge against the mine array.
The mine array is more than 500 meters in total. As long as the minefield is cleared, those who are still alive can leave.
But what was unexpected was that the leader of the five hundred people rejected Xiang Mao's request.
Xiang Mao couldn't help but asked curiously: "Why refuse?"
The other party replied: "When we come this time, we have no intention of going back alive."
“It’s got some backbone, but is it worth it?”
"You don't have to talk nonsense."
As soon as the other party finished speaking, Xiang Mao's lieutenant chopped off the other party's head with a knife.
Xiang Mao was a little unhappy: "What are you in a hurry for?"
"He's already talked about this, so what are you waiting for?"
"In that case, then you lead people to rush to the mine array."
"Captain, can't we take a detour?"
"The terrain in this area is relatively complicated. If you take a detour, you will waste a lot of time. You must go straight to the mine array, because this road is a shortcut. Even if the road is full of potholes, it is still the fastest way."
"Okay, then I will personally lead the people to attack the mine array." the deputy general replied.
Xiang Mao turned to look at the more than 500 people and asked one last time: "Your commander has been killed. Don't you really want to fight for yourselves? With the armor on your body, you can blast through a mine several hundred meters away." Formation, the probability of survival is quite high."
No one spoke, but some people had conflicting expressions on their faces, and their hearts were shaken. After all, it is human nature to survive.
"Oh, forget it, I really don't have time for you to have an ideological struggle." After Xiang Mao finished speaking, he made a gesture to a general.
The general immediately sent out hundreds of sword and ax soldiers to kill them.
When the dead began to appear, some recruits began to scream in fear. They even shouted that they were willing to charge the mine array, but before they could shout for long, the soldier commander killed them first. Because, according to military law, they must die during this trip. If someone lives as a deserter, their family members will not receive any benefits. Of course, in addition to considering family members, another reason is the consciousness of being a soldier.
Soldiers should not be afraid of death. From the first day they join the army, they will go through layers of brainwashing and education, so most of them have already put life and death aside.
In less than five minutes, all five hundred people died.
Xiang Mao ordered that all the armor of these people be taken off and used as spare for the soldiers rushing to the mine array.
In this way, with the spare armor, the soldiers achieved zero deaths when they rushed into the battle, and most of them only suffered varying degrees of burns.
After the mine formation was broken through, Xiang Mao continued to lead the army forward.
However, after experiencing the mine formation, there are also poison formations, phantom formations, water formations, etc.
Under the constant ambushes of Chen Ling's army, Xiang Mao was delayed for about eighteen hours in total.
Near Xiao'er City, Xiang Mao ushered in Chen Ling's last ambush.
Almost all of Chen Ling's troops had been killed, and now there were only a few dozen left, surrounded by Xiang Mao's cavalry.
Xiang Mao came to these dozens of people, applauded them, and said with admiration: "After going through waves of surprise attacks, dozens of you have survived until now. I can see that you are all the elites among the elites. . I am a person who cherishes talents. If you are willing to surrender and work under my command, I can spare your life."
Chen Ling raised his sword and smiled: "Brother Xiang, you are still as naive as before."
"Yes, I was very naive. I thought I recommended you back then. Even now, I still hope to give you a chance."
"I'm sorry, we have a mission on our shoulders. This time, we can't go back alive."
"I know that your purpose is to delay me, so you can't escape. I'm curious, what is Jiang Ze's request? How long do you want you to delay? Half a day? Or one day?"
"Of course it was a day, and now we are only six hours away from our target."
"Six hours, right? Let's do this. We can stop marching and wait for six hours, allowing you to complete your mission and fulfill your wish. After that, you surrender to me. How about that?"
As soon as Xiang Mao finished speaking, several lieutenants objected: "Commander, how can we wait for six hours? Nuer City is under strong attack, and we cannot waste a moment."
"I know very well the defenses of Nuer City. They will not fall so quickly."
"But……"
"No but, you all shut up." Xiang Mao glared.
Seeing that Xiang Mao had made up his mind, the lieutenants stopped trying to persuade him.
Xiang Mao turned to Chen Ling and said, "Look, I'm under tremendous pressure just to let you complete your so-called mission. Am I not sincere enough?"
"Your sincerity really surprises me. However, it is really impossible for us to commit treason."
"Don't make a decision in such a hurry. I'll give you fifteen minutes to think about it carefully. Think about how I treated you at the beginning. As long as you figure it out, I will still be your eldest brother."
Afterwards, Xiang Mao ordered them to step back twenty steps and give them some space to discuss.
Those dozens of people, you looked at me, I looked at you, and they started discussing. However, the content of their discussion was not treason, but whether to pretend to surrender in exchange for six hours.
In the current situation, it was impossible for these dozens of people to delay Xiang Mao for another six hours. So you can consider feigning surrender in exchange for time.
Fifteen minutes later, Xiang Mao came to Chen Ling again and asked, "How was it? Has the result of the discussion been reached?"
"Okay, as long as you wait six hours, we will surrender."
"It's a wise choice. Since you want to surrender, then throw down your armor."
"That's not possible. If we throw away our armor, we will have no resistance at all." Chen Ling refused.
"I don't understand this. You are all planning to surrender, so why do you need any resistance?"
"Anyway, you agree to stay for six hours and then we surrender."
"Oh, you're not sincere." Xiang Mao shook his head in despair, made a gesture to a deputy general, and then left.
The lieutenant suddenly pulled out his sword and ordered: "Kill without mercy."
Suddenly, the battle started again.
Xiang Mao turned his back to the battle, took out his cigarette, lit it, and smoked as if nothing had happened. In his mind, he thought that when the cigarette was finished, the battle would be over.
The shouts from behind, the sound of lightning, the clang of swords...
It lasted less than five minutes and then gradually became quiet.
Xiang Mao blew out a smoke ring and threw away the cigarette butt, thinking that it was almost over.
Suddenly, he sensed four combat reactions with strength exceeding 500.
Xiang Mao's eyes widened. He looked at the battle situation and found that there were actually four behemoths over fifty meters tall who were killing each other. Xiang Mao's soldiers were unable to withstand the terrifying power and were knocked away one after another. Even Xiang Mao's lieutenants were a little unable to resist and temporarily retreated.
Looking at the four behemoths who were neither humans nor ghosts, Xiang Mao couldn't help but sigh: "Oh my God, he suddenly became a complete animal-type superpower. Does Lieguo have such technology?"
A deputy general came to Xiang Mao and suggested: "Captain, those four monsters are extremely powerful and blessed with supernatural powers. They are not easy to deal with. Why don't we leave a team of thousands of armored guards as bait, and then order The army is marching?”
"No, no, it's not as simple as you think. Even the armored guards can't delay them."
"But how do we deal with them?"
"Tiger, lion, mouse, elephant." Xiang Mao suddenly pointed at those behemoths.
"Captain."
"There are no cows. Do you look down on cows?"
"Captain, what are you talking about?"
"I like this kind of giant beast the most. Pass the order and the soldiers will retreat. Only five-star generals are allowed to go into battle with me."
Five-star generals, all at the general level, Xiang Mao now has three under his command, and two more are fighting against Zerg harassment on the western border.
"Captain, do you mean you want to do it yourself?"
"Does that need to be said?"
Xiang Mao suddenly threw off his armor, then jumped up and flew high into the sky.
When he fell again, a giant bull-headed beast nearly a hundred meters tall fell from the sky. It directly crushed the rat monster to death, and the blood spurted out, sweeping around like a flood.
The power of this giant bull-headed beast has reached 800. It is the ceiling of power in the entire land of Tianzhu, and can be called the strongest beast in Tianzhu.
When the soldiers saw the flood of blood coming, they fled one after another, but they were not fast enough and were about to be submerged.
At this time, one of the five-star generals stretched out his hand, and all the blood began to gather in his hand, forming an extremely high-density ball.
This person's superpower is to control all liquids seen with the eyes. The nature of his superpower is similar to Hongli's.
Looking back at the battle, although the rat monster was directly crushed to death, there were still three giant beasts. Their power was more than 500. Together, they could still pose a threat to the bull-headed giant beast.
The three giant beasts possess the consciousness and IQ of humans. They began to cooperate in the attack, and actually defeated the bull-headed giant beast.
But the giant bull-headed beast was also very excited. While being beaten, it fought back. Every punch carries endless impact.
On the other side, there are two five-star generals flying and circling around the behemoth, trying to find the weakness of the behemoth.
It didn't take long for them to find an opportunity and fly into the ears and nostrils of the tiger monster and the elephant monster respectively. They drew their weapons and headed towards the beast's brain.
The defense of the behemoth is very high, but the defense inside the body is relatively weak. Ordinary people cannot break through the defense, but it is no problem for a five-star general.
One of the five-star generals activated his superpower, and a space appeared. The five-star general who controlled liquids before came to the inside of the tiger monster's head, and his trick had been fully charged.
The density ball hit the brain, causing the brain to splatter with white fluids.
The huge tiger monster fell down like a mountain collapsing. The loud noise was like the sky and the earth breaking apart, frightening the ordinary soldiers to flee desperately.
