Chapter XVIII: Ambush
Since learning that the Terrans were preparing to retreat on a large scale, the two Lich Clans have been keeping an eye on the movements of the Terrans, and under the powerful information gathering capabilities of the two Lich Clans, the causes and consequences of the Terran retreat have also been clearly investigated by the two Clans, and Ling Xuan has also entered the eyes of the Lich Clan
The news obtained from the Terrans confirmed what the Demon Fox King and the Witch Shadow said that the strategy of the Terrans against the two Lich Clans had changed greatly, and from then on, the two Lich Clans would not cooperate in tacit cooperation to attack the Terrans, and would turn into a three-race struggle for hegemony.
Although they are aware of the future situation, the two lich clans do not want the Terrans to retreat in peace. In order to reduce casualties, the two Lich clans decided to attack the armies under the Qing Emperor, the White Emperor, and the Xuan Emperor, and hunt down these three emperors.
After the news that the three emperors had begun to withdraw from the turbulence, the two clans immediately ordered the demon king and witch generals guarding the front line to lead their troops to catch up. They are required to take advantage of dangerous terrain while chasing the Terrans.
The White Emperor, who was leading the army to retreat, learned that the demon clan was chasing and killing, and asked calmly, "Which demon king led the troops to chase and kill, and how fast was it?" ”
After learning that the demon clan was chasing and killing, the White Emperor would deal with it so calmly, but he was proud and listened to the essence of the art of war explained by Ling Xu. The courage of the soldiers, the generals should not be surprised, and Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his face.
The scout replied, "The leader of the troops is the Lion King, and the speed is extremely fast, and it is less than a thousand miles away from the rear army. ”
When the White Emperor heard this, he pondered for a moment, but he was calculating the marching speed of the demon army. After calculating, the White Emperor laughed and said, "This lion king doesn't know whether to live or die, and he didn't even explore the way to chase and kill us, he deserves our success!" ”
"Shaodian, you continue to lead the army and retreat, and the rest of the generals will go with Emperor Ben to kill the burden of the attackers"
"Yes, Father!"
"Yes, Emperor!"
Shaodian is the son of the White Emperor Taihao, and has been following Taihao for many years, although he only has immortal cultivation, but he is familiar with military affairs, so the White Emperor is relieved to hand over the army to Shaodian.
The White Emperor took his generals above the Xuan Immortal level, and met with the rear army that intercepted them, and found a dangerous place on the road of the march, and ambushed them on the spot, preparing to ambush the pursuing Lion King.
The ambush of the monk's army is much more cumbersome, not only to arrange a concealment formation, but also to arrange an auxiliary attack formation. Only with the help of the power of the formation can it be possible to hide the ambushed army, and only with the help of the formation can the effect of the ambush be maximized.
It's just that the formation is difficult to learn, and for the White Emperor, who has never been in contact with the way of the formation, he can't learn it in a short period of time. Looking at the army that had been successfully ambushed, as well as the large array that had been hidden in front of him, the White Emperor had to admire the intelligence of Ling Xu.
When Ling Xuan was teaching them the art of war, he handed over the formation diagram that he had already prepared and might use to the Emperor of the Five Directions. Before Ling Xu went down the mountain, he expected that the army would fight, and the formation assistance was indispensable, and the battle of the monks, the ordinary military formation was useless, so Ling Xu deliberately refined a batch of possible formations, and this formation specifically used for ambushes was the combination formation diagram refined by Ling Xu.
After the Terran army passed, the White Emperor immediately urged the formation to hide the ambushed soldiers and horses, and at the same time concealed the attack formation, and then waited for the Lion King, who was chasing after him, to break into the trap set for him.
The Lion King, who was following closely, didn't know that on the way ahead, the White Emperor had laid a trap for him that was enough to swallow all his subordinates, and after receiving the order to pursue, he hurriedly chased after several demon generals and tens of thousands of demon soldiers under his command.
Soon the Lion King's demon soldiers broke into the formation preset by the White Emperor, and the White Emperor quietly urged the big array, so that the demon soldiers who entered it were lost in their Zheng This is the psychedelic effect of the formation.
However, after the demon general of the Golden Immortal Realm broke into the formation, he found a difference, and when he wanted to exit, he found that the way he came had disappeared.
Seeing more and more demon soldiers breaking into the big array, including the two demon generals under the Lion Throne, the White Emperor was extremely excited in his heart. After the Lion King led all the demon generals to break into the big array, the White Emperor ordered to urge the formation with all his strength to attack the demon soldiers and demon generals who broke into the array.
At the same time, he led the ambushed soldiers and horses to attack, first defeated the demon soldiers who had lost their generals, and then led the army to rush into the large array and slaughter the demon soldiers trapped in the formation.
At this time, the Lion King had been completely stunned by the White Emperor, and he was trapped in the array, except for the thousands of demon soldiers who had been following him, but he couldn't see his other subordinates. However, the roar of the beast told him that his subordinates were being slaughtered by the Terrans.
Listening to the screams of his subordinates from time to time in the formation, the Lion King quickly woke up, and after realizing that he could not crack the big formation according to the formation, the Lion King had no choice but to break the formation with force.
The Lion King, who didn't want too many of his subordinates to die, hurriedly sacrificed his Lingbao-level mountain opening knife, frantically slashed the big array, and the sharp sword qi swept through the array, swept away a large number of creatures trapped in the array, and hit the formation map.
After the Lion King began to attack frantically in the formation, the White Emperor ordered the Terran army to retreat, while he led the generals to stabilize the formation with all their might, hoping to hold on for a moment longer.
However, the cultivation of the Lion King Taiyi Golden Immortal is not something that the White Emperor and others can offset by using the big array, after the Lion King slashed ten knives one after another, the big array finally couldn't withstand the attack of the Taiyi Golden Immortal, and it shattered, but fortunately, the White Emperor reacted in time, quickly put away the formation map, and then hurriedly fled from the cluster with his generals.
After the Lion King broke through the big array, he found the fleeing White Emperor and others, but he was anxious to check the casualties of his subordinates, but he did not immediately catch up.
The large array was broken, and the fog around the demon soldiers dissipated, and the Lion King also saw the remaining demon soldiers in the array. Seeing that there were less than 10,000 demon soldiers and two demon generals left in the array, the Lion King's eyes turned red, and he roared angrily in the direction of the White Emperor's escape.
The White Emperor, who had already fled far away, seemed to hear the roar of the Lion King, and while running away, he laughed and said, "This battle is very enjoyable, haha!" ”
Several other generals also let out hearty laughter when they heard this. How long has it been since the human race won such a big victory, four demon generals, tens of thousands of demon soldiers, only used a very small number of casualties in exchange for such a big result, and the accompanying generals smiled and shed tears.
The White Emperor noticed the change in the mood of his subordinates, but he did not stop to comfort them, but led them to speed away.
It didn't take long for the news of the White Emperor's successful ambush of the Lion King to spread throughout the three clans of humans, witches, and demons, and when the Terrans learned the news, they naturally celebrated and celebrated the first great victory in the history of the Terrans. When the two lich clans heard the news, they were shocked and inexplicable, and hurriedly ordered the pursuing soldiers and horses to retreat immediately, but unfortunately they were still a step too slow.
After the news of the White Emperor's victory came out, it was reported one after another that Emperor Xuan had successfully ambushed the Wu Clan, killed more than 10,000 Wu soldiers, and seriously injured a Wu general; The Green Emperor also ambushed the witch clan and the demon clan one after another, killing one demon general, tens of thousands of demon soldiers, and killing more than 10,000 witch soldiers.
For a while, the Terran swept away the previous decline, and once again raised the morale that had been hit.
