Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 116 They are here!

The seventh day of October.

On the fifth day after the fall of Chiba Pass, the Second Division finally started to move. The [-]th Brigade stationed in Yiyi Mansion and the [-]st Brigade stationed outside Zhaoyao City were ordered to rush to Pi County for reinforcements.

After preparing to join up with the remnants of the third brigade, we will stop the Leopard Demon Army.

At the same time, the second brigade stationed at Tengsheguan also strengthened its combat readiness, and the entire second division immediately entered a state of combat readiness to deal with the sudden invasion of the Leopard Demon Army.

The situation in Yiyi Mansion is certain.

Although the Leopard Demon Army is fierce, the Second Division is not so easy to deal with when it is serious. The Leopard Demon Army in the Red Viper Pass dares to leave the pass, and I am afraid that it will not be able to win.

In order to conquer the red viper pass, the leopard army also suffered a lot of damage.

…………

It's night, Hulao Pass.

After reading the battle report of the Yiyi Mansion, Hu Qiu frowned slightly. The enemy's response was slightly beyond his expectations. Now it seems that although the Dagan internally fought fiercely, they were still consistent externally.

Not really broken.

Chiba Pass failed to effectively contain the main force of the Qingqiu Security Division. In the next battle, the Fox Demon Army will be a bit difficult to fight. Is it really going to attack Zhennan Pass?

This is the worst possible scenario.

Since the start of the war, under the command of Hu Qiu, the Fox Demon Army has maintained continuous suppression of Zhennan Pass, but even Hu Qiu himself has no confidence in conquering Zhennan Pass in one fell swoop.

The resilience and tenacity of the First Brigade of the Qingqiu Security Division have been clearly demonstrated in this battle.

Not to mention, there are other troops behind the first brigade who can send reinforcements at any time. If they want to break through, how many casualties will the fox demon army have to pay?
Three thousand?four thousand?Or five thousand?

After finally being promoted to a magic general and guarding one side, Hu Qiu really didn't want to become a poor commander again.

The Fox Demon Army was formed on the ruins of the Tiger Demon Army. Nearly [-]% of them were newly recruited this year. Although the demon clan is said to be strong, they have not experienced actual combat after all.

During this period, except for the first day, Hu Qiu deliberately adopted a rotation system, letting each department take turns to attack Zhennan Pass, and temper the team through actual combat.

But after all, the time is too short.

The weakness of the Demon Fox Army has been constantly exposed in this battle. The new recruits are easy to get ahead, have poor discipline, and are not tenacious enough when encountering tough battles.

Head-to-head confrontation is really not what Hu Chou thinks.

After thinking about it, Hu Qiu couldn't think of a better way for a while, so he rushed out the door and shouted: "Come here!"

"General!"

"Go, call the intelligence officer."

"Yes!"

Leaning slightly, the intelligence officer of the Fox Demon Army, a wolf demon walked in, "General!"

"Is there any movement at Yize Pass?" Hu Chou asked.

The wolf demon said: "I was about to report to the general. I just received information that the enemy's second brigade stationed at Yizeguan sent three teams of scouts one after another early this morning to cross the ruins of Manniuguan and go deep into our border for investigation."

Hu Chou was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, "So the fish took the bait?"

"Very likely." The wolf demon knew the ambush plan, and was very cautious, asking Hu Qiu for instructions: "General, it might alert the enemy, do you want to take our scouts away?"

"It's about shrinking, you can arrange it."

"promise!"

The wolf demon saluted and left in a hurry.

Hu Qiuyi lay back and leaned on the chair, "Hey, it's wonderful to lose the east corner and harvest the mulberry elm!" Now that the fish was hooked, he didn't have to worry about whether to attack by force.

Just keep suppressing Zhennanguan.

As long as the enemy's second brigade is wiped out, the strength of the Qingqiu garrison division will be greatly reduced. At that time, the coalition forces will be able to attack from Yize pass or Chiba pass.

"It's time to report this hatred." Hu Chou's voice was a little cold.

…………

The ninth day of October.

After two days of investigation, the Second Brigade of the Guard Division stationed at Yize Pass, as Hu Qiu expected, left Yize Pass under the leadership of brigade commander Yue Yun, brazenly crossed the ruins of Manniu Pass, and marched towards Hulao Pass.

After confirming the information, all the Yaozu's scouts in this area shrank.

I don't know if it was because of going deep into the enemy's territory, the second traveling army was very slow, stopping and going, sending out scouts one after another to conduct a dragnet-style investigation.

At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, we had only walked half the way.

After that, he stopped moving and chose a hillside to set up camp, planning to spend the night here.

…………

At night, in an unnamed valley.

The valley here is less than an hour away from the second brigade camp.

The valley covers an extremely wide area, with lush vegetation and weeds as high as a person's waist, lying in the grass, no one can see them.The edge of the valley is rocky and rugged, with only two openings, one in front and one in back.

A dirt road winds through the middle of the valley.

The four thousand leopard demon army has been stationed here for more than a week. In order not to be exposed, they are not even allowed to deliver supplies from outside, and they are all supported by the food and grass they carried at the beginning.

Today, food and grass are almost exhausted.

Just as the Leopard Demon Army gradually lost their patience, the good news they wanted finally came from the front line. The enemy moved and was moving towards their station.

The resident was full of joy, and finally there was no need to nest in this bird's place.

In the camp of the Chinese army, two monster clans were having a secret conversation, one of them said: "The enemy is very cautious, why don't we act tonight and take advantage of the cover of night to sneak attack on the enemy's camp?"

"inappropriate."

The other demon is obviously more respected, and his voice is very majestic, "If you are so cautious during the day, the enemy will definitely take precautions at night. Don't make a sneak attack, but you will fall into the enemy's trap."

"Just by them?"

Four thousand against two thousand five, it was a surprise attack, and it was still a local battle, he never thought about the possibility of losing.

"Needless to say, it's settled like this. Fighting at night can't form a tight encirclement. Once the enemy breaks through, they will be scattered all over the border. It's too troublesome to pursue. Don't you want to be reprimanded by your lord?"

When I chose to set up an ambush here in the valley, I took a fancy to the unique geographical advantages of the valley. Once the enemy entered the valley, they could directly encircle them.

None can escape.

"Alright then." Yi Yao nodded helplessly.

…………

Early the next morning, the Second Brigade pulled out of camp and continued to march.

I don't know if it was because there was no abnormality yesterday, the marching speed of the second brigade was obviously faster than yesterday, and it arrived outside the valley at about ten o'clock in the morning.

"Go to a team and go into the valley to investigate." Yue Yun was very cautious.

"promise!"

While speaking, a team of ten people rode into the valley on demon wolves.

It was very quiet in the valley.

The scouts held bows and arrows and walked carefully on the winding dirt road in the valley, looking at both sides of the road from time to time, not letting go of any clues.

And further afield.

Behind the withered grass, among the strange rocks, countless monster warriors are watching the strangers who invaded here with great interest.

Although they dare not speak to each other, they express the same message with their eyes.

"They're here!"

The soldiers held their breath, their bodies clinging to the ground, trying to control the obviously accelerated heartbeat.

The scouting team patrolled along the dirt road and found nothing abnormal, and then returned along the original road. When they got to the middle, the captain waved his hand, "Go and check in the grass!"

"promise!"

Ten scouts entered the grass on both sides of the road in groups of five.

Seeing this, those Yaozu warriors lurking on the edge of the valley became tense all of a sudden, staring fixedly at the slowly approaching enemy, their hands already quietly clenched their weapons.

Breathing is inevitably heavy.

The big demon kept making gestures, pressing his hands down, signaling to the soldiers to keep calm and not move without orders, not even blinking.

The air seemed to freeze at this moment.

"Quack~~~"

At this moment, an old turtledove was frightened and flew into the sky from the grass.

"what?"

The scout team was instantly alert and moved closer to the incident, but in the grass less than 100 meters away from the old turtledove, there was a group of demon warriors lurking.

At that moment, the hearts of the soldiers rose to their throats.

An impulsive young dog demon was about to get up and rush out, but was pinned down by the centurion's sharp hands and eyes. The dog's face was pressed into the soil with the fragrance of weeds, and he took a mouthful of mud.

The air became stuffy.

"Captain, it's a bird." The scout who was ordered to investigate reported back.

The alarm is temporarily lifted.

"Captain, there is nothing unusual, go back!" It is impossible to search carefully in such a large valley.

"What do you mean there is no abnormality? Search carefully."

The scout captain was very conscientious. He bent his bow and set his arrow without aiming. He shot directly towards the grass farther away. The refined iron arrow drew a beautiful arc, swished, and sank into the grass farther away.

"Woo~~~"

It was a coincidence that the arrow hit the ass of a pig demon lying on the ground, and bright red flowed out.

The Yaozu warriors lurking around turned pale with fright, for fear of being exposed just like that. The pig monster was so brave, although the cold sweat broke out from the pain, he didn't make a sound and gritted his teeth.

"Good job!"

The surrounding soldiers gave thumbs up.

The pig demon didn't dare to bark anymore, and didn't even hum, and even put on an expression of "it doesn't hurt at all, this injury is nothing, it's a trivial matter".

This proves his bravery.

What a hero!

The surrounding Yaozu warriors gave thumbs up again.

The other scouts followed suit, bowing their bows and setting arrows one by one, shooting randomly at the grass in the distance.

Most of the arrows returned in vain, and only a few hit the lurking monster warriors. In this way, there were a few more heroes, and a few more legends that would be enough to brag about for a lifetime after returning to the tribe.

Of course, the premise is that they can go back alive.

Until all the arrows in the quiver were shot, except for a frightened sika deer, the whole valley was quiet without any noise, just like a paradise.

"Let's go back!"

The scout captain waved his hand and left first.

huh~~~
Seeing the enemy scouts disappear at the mouth of the valley, the thousands of demon warriors who were lurking almost all heaved a sigh of relief, and the tense string in their minds loosened instantly.

This scene is quite spectacular.

Seeing this, the commanders of thousands and centurions said in a low voice, "Get up and get ready to fight!"

"Ah."

The Yaozu warriors clenched their weapons tightly and stared at the entrance of the valley. They only waited for an order before rushing out, smashing the enemy's corpse into thousands of pieces.

Not long after, teams of human soldiers appeared at the entrance of the valley.

Here they come!
