The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

After returning to the camp, Duan Tianyang immediately began to arrange tactics.

This time they secretly crossed Fengming Mountain and went deep into the heart of the Panda tribe. The deployment of troops had to be just right, neither exposing their whereabouts too much nor too little to lose their power.

After careful consideration, Duan Tianyang decided to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to the battle, plus 3,000 "Hongxing Army" led by Sa Ding, a total of 13,000 people.

These ten thousand people were all elite troops carefully selected from twenty legions, and there were hundreds of brave warriors among them.

Late that night, when the moon was dark and the wind was strong, Duan Tianyang and Sa Ding led this elite force to quietly leave the camp, sneak into the jungle, and quickly move towards the direction of the mountain crevice.

After arriving at the destination, the members of Tianyan Hall were the first to go out of the forest to explore and make sure there were no enemy spies around.

Afterwards, Sa Ding led three thousand "Hongxing Army" into the mountain crevice first to clear out the poisonous substances and dense vines inside.

When Sa Ding led his men to open up a passage and successfully crossed the mountain crevice to the other side of Fengming Mountain, Duan Tianyang led the entire army in.

After passing through the crevice in the mountain, they came to the other side of Fengming Mountain. There was a vast grassland here. The grass stalks were more than half a person's height, which was very suitable for hiding.

Duan Tianyang and Sa Ding each commanded their soldiers to blend into the grass and lie down in it.

Sading hid in the dense grass and said to Duan Tianyang in a low voice: "Master Duan, I will leave a few of my tribesmen as your guides, and I will lead the rest to the Panda people's residence."

Duan Tianyang frowned when he heard this, and after a moment of hesitation, he asked, "Can you handle this with only 3,000 people?"

Sading raised a confident smile and replied, "Don't worry, Master Duan. Most of the warriors of the Panda tribe gather in Fengming Mountain. Most of the people living there are old and young, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

However, this is only Sading's speculation, and the truth is still unknown.

Duan Tianyang was worried, so he turned around and waved to Zhang Liao, Wang Qiang and Xiao Si.

When the three approached, he solemnly ordered: "You three will lead two thousand elite soldiers and follow Sading to the residence of the Panda tribe to carry out a surprise attack."

After all, Sa Ding is the son of Kuang Lang. If anything happens to him, Duan Tianyang will have a hard time explaining to Kuang Lang.

Upon hearing this, Sa Ding smiled and waved his hand to decline: "Master Duan, you need to set up an ambush halfway to stop Panda's reinforcements. Ten thousand men are already stretched thin for such an important task. If you divide my two thousand men, it will be even more difficult."

Duan Tianyang looked solemn and said firmly: "I have made up my mind, Brother Sa Ding, please don't refuse anymore."

Sading was silent for a moment, and finally bowed his hands in thanks: "Then I will respectfully obey your command. Thank you, Master Duan."

At Duan Tianyang's insistence, Zhang Liao and his two companions led two thousand soldiers and went to the residence of the Panda tribe together with Sa Ding.

He personally led the remaining 8,000 soldiers to ambush on the road between Fengming Mountain and the Panda tribe, waiting for the arrival of enemy reinforcements.

In this ambush site, there is a vast grassland on one side and a dense and deep forest on the other side, both of which are excellent places to hide.

After careful consideration, Duan Tianyang sent Qiu Tieyi to lead 5,000 men to hide in the woods, while he himself, Lu Jingyuan and Hua Duoer led 3,000 men to ambush in the grassland.

As time passed quietly, the eastern sky gradually turned light blue, heralding the arrival of dawn.

Hua Duoer looked at Duan Tianyang, her eyes flashing with anxiety: "Brother Tian, ​​when will Zhang Liao and his men arrive at the Panda tribe?"

Duan Tianyang shook his head slightly, his tone steady: "I'm afraid they haven't even completed half of the journey. When it gets bright, they still have to avoid the checkpoints and hide their tracks, which will slow them down even more."

The Panda tribe’s residence is not close to here, and it will take at least a day to walk there.

Hua Duoer couldn't help but sigh when she heard this: "So, don't we have to wait here until tomorrow?"

Duan Tianyang smiled leisurely, leaned back slightly, and lay flat on the soft grass, with his hands behind his head, looking contented: "It's a good opportunity to take a break and recharge my energy."

Hua Duoer smiled bitterly and shook her head. She knew in her heart that the mission was arduous and it was difficult for her to calm down and rest.

A day passed, and there was still no news from Sading. The group of 5,000 people seemed to have disappeared into the sea.

The next morning, at dawn, Duan Tianyang was sleeping soundly in the grass when he was suddenly awakened by a distant and clear eagle's cry in the sky.

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked upwards in the direction of the sound, only to see a falcon soaring in the sky.

After circling for a few weeks, the falcon gracefully landed on the arm of a member of the Wild Wolf Tribe not far away, holding a bamboo tube in its claws.

The man deftly took down the bamboo tube, unscrewed the lid, and gently poured it out. A roll of paper slid down leisurely, with a few words on it: "We have begun to launch an attack."

Upon learning that Zhang Liao and his men had successfully infiltrated the Panda tribe's residence and launched an offensive, Duan Tianyang finally felt relieved.

He took a deep breath and said solemnly to Lu Jingyuan and Hua Duoer beside him: "Pass the order down, tell the brothers to be on high alert, the enemy reinforcements may arrive at any time."

"Yes!" The two responded and quickly conveyed the message.

It was not until noon that the road at the junction of the grassland and the dense forest finally encountered changes.

I saw a dozen riders and horses galloping from the west, including men, women, old and young, all of them were in tattered clothes and covered in blood, obviously having experienced a disaster.

Lu Jingyuan hid in the bushes, stretched his neck to observe carefully, and then reported to Duan Tianyang in a low voice: "Brother Tian, ​​these people should be refugees from the Panda tribe, and they want to go to Fengming Mountain for help."

Duan Tianyang nodded slightly and whispered, "Let them go. Our target is their reinforcements."

He did not give the order to attack. The soldiers of the Hongxing Army stood still like stone sculptures, allowing the dozen or so extremely embarrassed Panda people to ride their horses and disappear from their sight.

This release will mark another long and agonizing wait.

As night fell, a soldier rushed out from the dense forest opposite and ran into the bush where Duan Tianyang was. He was still catching his breath and reported in a hurry: "Sir, urgent news from the front line, Panda's reinforcements have arrived!"

Duan Tianyang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was refreshed. He asked anxiously, "How many people are here?"

"About thirty thousand people," the soldier replied.

"30,000?" Lu Jingyuan and Hua Duoer were secretly shocked when they heard this. They all looked at Duan Tianyang and said in unison: "Brother Tian, ​​the enemy is numerous and we are few. Should we still fight this battle?"

Duan Tianyang looked determined and did not hesitate: "Fight! Of course we have to fight! Even if all the enemy troops come, we have to meet the challenge head-on!"

After saying this, he turned to the soldier who reported the news and said in a deep voice: "Report this to General Qiu immediately and order him to prepare for battle immediately. No chance of error is allowed!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Duan Tianyang summoned the surrounding battalion guards and calmly deployed: "When the enemy arrives, don't rush to act. Let their vanguard army pass through first, and then listen to my orders."

"As ordered!"
