Eagle Canyon. Most of the people in the Demon Slayer Army are both unfamiliar and familiar with this place. Although they all knew that there was such a fortress at Nile Peak, few people dared to enter it without permission. The acquired demonic realm made the entire canyon look dark and dull.
Standing outside the canyon, you can also hear the howling of the dark wind inside, as if the dead monsters are roaring unwillingly.
qqxδnew In order to intercept the inevitable demon reinforcements, nearly ten thousand elite troops were mobilized from various regiments of the demon-slaying army. They set out as early as ten days ago. After traveling through mountains and rivers, they finally bypassed the Yinggou Canyon.
In fact, they could have been faster. Even if they climbed over enough canyons, it wouldn't take such a long time. But firstly, there were so many people that they needed to be broken into pieces. Secondly, they also needed to avoid the monsters. Patrolling, so we can only slow down the speed. It is better to go slower than to be exposed.
The army arrived at its destination one day in advance. After a day's rest, Chu Xigu, who was now full of energy and had rich leadership experience, served as the commander-in-chief of this blocking mission, and his identity was not simple.
When Zhong Wuchen was still in the Demon-Slaying Army, Chu Xigu was already the deputy commander beside Zhong Wuchen. However, Zhong Wuchen later left the Demon-Slaying Army after becoming a mortal. Before Zhong Wuchen left, he entrusted all his close soldiers and confidants to Zhong Wuchen. To the Chu River Valley.
Chu Xigu, who had a keen sense of smell, made a decisive decision and immediately resigned from the post of deputy commander. Later, when Li Siming came to the Demon Slaying Army, he also wanted to re-activate Chu Xi Gu, but Chu Xi Gu always declined due to various reasons. However, this time, Li Siming decided to hand over the important task of intercepting the demon reinforcements to Chu Xi Gu. This is also due to many considerations.
First of all, Chu Xigu has rich combat experience, and he has a deep enough understanding of the demon clan to know its weaknesses.
This is something that neither Qi Changguang nor Ling Qiao can compare with. The most important thing is that Chuxi Valley also knows enough about the demon-slaying army and has high enough prestige among the demon-slaying army. Just like now, the temporarily formed army comes from several regiments, but for these people, Chuxi Valley They all have a general understanding, and these people also trust Chuxi Valley.
Chu Xigu, who is over sixty years old, can definitely be regarded as a veteran. He has spent most of his life in the demon-slaying army. He has a calm personality and knows how to make prompt decisions. Even if he wants to break his head, he can't think of anyone better than Chu Xigu. A more suitable person.
At this moment, Chu Xigu was looking at the map, and several regiment leaders and think tanks nearby were talking about it. One of the burly men looked at the Chu River Valley and said with a smile: "General Chu, I have ordered you to go down. As long as the demon army appears, I dare not say that they will be annihilated, but if they are intercepted for four or five hours, there will be no problem at all!"
"Nonsense." Chu Xigu said angrily,
"Half of the elite members of the demon-slaying army are here, and the soldiers that Commander Zhong left behind are also here. If you can't even complete a simple task like intercepting the demon reinforcements, you and I will go to see Commander Li with your head in hand. Right." The burly man laughed and said: "Commander Li? General Chu, I remember that you were still a little unconvinced by Commander Li before!" Chu Xigu laughed.
"It's not that I'm not convinced, but I used to think that the position of commander of the Demon-Slaying Army cannot be filled by just anyone. The Demon-Slaying Army has one and only one commander, and that is Commander Zhong." Although Zhong Wuchen is older than Chu Xigu. It was a lot smaller, but for Zhong Wuchen, Chu Xigu admired him from the bottom of his heart. It is no exaggeration to say that Chu Xigu watched Zhong Wuchen rise in the demon-slaying army.
"That's true. I am really convinced by Commander Li, and he is so generous! He has never thought of breaking up the soldiers that Commander Zhong left behind. He also has high hopes for us. Moreover, this is Commander Li is here. The life of our Demon-Slaying Army has become much better. Look, we are fighting again now!" The burly man chirped, and then said: "Since Commander Zhong left the Demon-Slaying Army, how long have we not Walked out of Demon Slaying City? Now you have a chance!" Chu Xigu laughed.
Li Siming can single-handedly reverse the situation in northern Xinjiang. This alone makes them convinced.
But then, Chu Xigu felt a little sad again.
"Tell me, it would be great if Commander Zhong and Commander Li were both in Northern Xinjiang. What kind of bullshit monster tribe is not allowed to be killed by us?"
"That's right! What a pity..." The burly man also fell silent. After sighing for a few words, Chu Xigu cheered up again. At the same time, a scout team hurried towards them.
"The people are here." After Chu Xigu said that, he quickly walked forward to meet them. The burly man followed closely behind.
This scout team, which has experienced hundreds of battles and has rich survey experience, can also be regarded as the trump card among the scouts of the demon-slaying army.
The man at the front is the captain of the scout team, his name is Wang Chuan. He is forty years old this year. He is still very strong and very familiar with every road in this area of Northern Xinjiang.
"Wang Chuan, how are you?" the burly man asked.
"Report! Twenty miles ahead, there is still no trace of demon reinforcements." Wang Chuan's forehead was covered with sweat, and even though he was breathing heavily, he immediately expressed the message clearly.
Hearing this, Chu Xigu's expression became more solemn. The burly man next to him looked at Wang Chuan and then at Chuxi Valley, wondering: "What does the demon tribe mean? Did they give up support? Logically speaking, they should have arrived long ago...could it be that they Are you ready to give up on Nile Peak?”
"Impossible." Chu Xigu said without thinking,
"The demon clan is not stupid. Even if they cannot defend Nile Peak, they will not give up so easily. This is illogical. Moreover, Nile Peak is crucial to us, and it is also the same to the demon clan."
"That's right. I don't know how much effort the demon clan has put into snatching Nile Peak over the years. How could it be possible to just say no to it..." The burly man also nodded slightly, feeling a little puzzled. .
Chu Xigu stood on a high place and looked forward, still calm. He was very sure that as long as the demon clan wanted to support them, the Yinggou Canyon was the only way to go.
But now, the main force of the demon clan is missing, which makes Chu Xigu feel a strong sense of uneasiness.
"General Chu, if you ask me, this is a good thing. If the demon army doesn't come, wouldn't it be better if we take Nile Peak without any bloodshed?" the burly man comforted.
"There's no way they won't come. This is not good news..." Suddenly, Chu Xigu's expression changed.
He turned and looked toward the canyon.
"unless……"
"Unless what?" the burly man asked doubtfully. Chu Xigu clenched his fists, his eyes filled with cold light.
"Unless they have always been in Yinggou Canyon." Chu Xigu's voice was a little heavy. The burly man quickly shook his head: "This is impossible. They can't be so fast. Moreover, we have already placed scouts in Eagle Valley Canyon. Even if they passed here a few days ago, we know about it."
"Then what if they have been hiding in the Yinggou Canyon for ten days or even longer?"
"That's even more impossible, unless they knew in advance that we would attack Nile Peak. But before that, even we didn't know. This... this is impossible." The burly man shook his head vigorously.
In fact, he knew in his heart that nothing in the world was absolutely impossible, but if it was true as Chu Xigu said... it would be a disaster for the Demon Slayer Army.
...At this moment, on the other side of the Eagle Valley Canyon, the surrounding area is empty and you can see it at a glance. An army of 20,000 monsters was lining up from the canyon.
The terrain here is very open, and it is precisely because of this that it is not suitable for an ambush. Even if the demon-slaying army forces an interception here, the opponent will have other ways to go. Only by strangling the entrance of the canyon can they truly do it.
"Block" effect. The two spirit demons at the head led this army, their eyes full of murderous intent.
"With this move, the demon-slaying army can finally be defeated at Nile Peak! If we can kill them all, the so-called demon-slaying city will be within easy reach!" One of the spirit demons smiled. said.
...high, on a hillside. A team of a thousand people looked at the demon army in the distance, each one breathing rapidly and looking ugly.
These thousand people were originally left behind by Li Siming to prevent the demon army from forcibly breaking through the obstacles set up in the Chuxi Valley to support. Li Siming's plan itself had no problems, even if the other party did not care and forcibly tore it apart. The defense line was already exhausted by the time they got here. A team of a thousand people was enough to annihilate them. Even if they couldn't be annihilated, there would be no problem in holding them back.
But now, they have become the most critical level. There are only a thousand people, which is not considered an elite team. If they want to intercept the 20,000 monster army, they are still elites led by spirit monsters. In this situation where the terrain is not advantageous at all... this is courting death.
"How... is this possible? General Chu and the others, what are they doing?" He Zhijie, the commander of the Panshi Battalion, was heart-beating and completely lost his sense of control.
Fortunately, at this moment, a voice came from behind.
"Touch it first, feint to attack, attract the opponent's attention, save yourself as much as possible, and leave the rest to me." He Zhijie suddenly became furious when he heard this.
How long has this been happening, and there are still people talking nonsense. But when he turned around and saw the man walking towards him, his lips began to tremble.
"Li...Commander Li!" Li Siming nodded slightly, looked at He Zhijie, then looked around, and said softly: "Sorry, miscalculation. Now, I may have to risk my life with you." He After Zhijie confirmed that the person in front of him was really Li Siming, he was immediately overjoyed!
"Commander Li, don't worry, the brothers in Panshi Camp are not afraid of death!" He was telling the truth. Even just now, when he saw an army of 20,000 monsters coming out of the Yinggou Canyon, he didn't have much fear in his heart. He was just worried about the situation ahead. Worrying, and losing all sense of proportion, I suddenly didn’t know what to do next among my thousand people.
But now that Li Siming is here, he can completely relieve himself of all the burdens. He can hit wherever the other party points him, and even if he says a thousand words, wouldn't the worst result be death?
What's so scary about death? Who among these demon-slaying army members has not been prepared to die long ago?
As long as you have a goal and know what you want to do, that's enough! Li Siming looked at He Zhijie and nodded softly.
"That's good."
"But...Commander Li, his subordinates are still a little confused. Have General Chu and the others already lost the defense?" Li Siming shook his head: "To be precise, maybe...oh no, it is definitely, Chuxi Valley and the others have not been seen. To this monster army."
"This...how is this possible!" He Zhijie shook his head quickly,
"According to the time, General Chu and the others must have arrived at their position. Commander Li, I can guarantee with my head that General Chu and the others will have no problem!" Li Siming looked at him and laughed: "I have never doubted them. , I said, this was a mistake in my calculation, I forgot a variable."
"Variables?"...Star City. In the bamboo forest. Zhong Wuchen slapped his hand on the map, his expression was solemn, and his eyes were shining brightly.
"Prophet...the only variable is that there is an extremely powerful prophet in the demon camp!"
