Chapter 562 Unexpected Variables
Seeing this, everyone immediately squatted down, although it was about hundreds of miles away from the place of the firelight, and although it was late at night, everyone understood that at their level, these factors could be completely ignored.
Of course, they can ignore it, and so can the people of the underworld on the other side.
There were all kinds of beast meat roasting on the fire, and there were at least more than ten people around each fire, Li Yichen and they could even faintly hear some of their conversations, but for fear of arousing the other party's attention, even Li Yichen did not dare to easily spy on his spiritual power.
"Let's rest here tonight, anyway, now that we have entered their hinterland, there is no need to rush for a while!" Li Yichen observed the situation and said, "When they leave tomorrow, we will go over!"
"How do you know they're going to go!" Zhao Qianjun asked in a low voice.
"You're going to test me!" Li Yichen smiled and said, "There are so many people, but there is not a single tent, obviously they are just passing by here, right?"
Zhao Qianjun smiled a little embarrassedly and said: "Although you are a disciple of Lord Junshen, you have not really experienced the baptism of the battlefield after all, so I will be a little worried, and please don't mind, captain." ”
"That's good!" Li Yichen nodded and said: "Although I became your captain because of my understanding of the formation of the underworld, if I talk about actual combat experience, I am very likely to have a lot of shortcomings, so in the next action, if there are any objections, you can raise them, after all, we are now deep in the enemy's belly, and any carelessness may plunge us into a catastrophe." ”
"Frankly speaking, we were a little worried at first, although we knew that with your foundation, maybe after a few years of tempering, you would definitely surpass us, but we were still worried that you would have some inexperienced problems. Zhao Qianjun said with a little admiration at this time: "But on this day, your arrangements will definitely not be worse than ours, and many details are even more detailed than ours, and now we can be said to be completely convinced." ”
"Then take a good rest, it takes a lot of strength to travel for a day, take this opportunity to recover well!" Li Yichen nodded and said.
No one knew that when his cultivation encountered a bottleneck in the first life, Li Yichen had participated in a battle between the four worldly empires in order to seek a breakthrough, hide his cultivation and enter the world.
That battle was under the command of Li Yichen, laying the foundation of the Tianhong Empire at that time, and that battle has always been cited as a classic battle in the Qingyun Continent, although at that time Li Yichen led only some ordinary soldiers to fight and there will be some differences between this kind of battle now, but some battlefield experience is the same.
Everyone nodded and began to carefully operate the technique, constantly replenishing the consumed spiritual power, waiting for time to pass.
As the minutes passed, everyone lay motionless on the ground, as if they were one with the whole heaven and earth, and even at the dawn there were many small birds that stayed on everyone, and they did not find that it was people and not grass and trees under their feet.
The sun rose slowly, and the morning of the day finally came, but the people of the underworld on the other side had no intention of leaving, but began to set up tents one by one.
"It looks like they don't plan to leave for the time being!" Looking at the other party's situation, Jing Hao couldn't help frowning, "Could it be that they discovered the location of the second array of eyes?"
Li Yichen frowned slightly and shook his head, "Probably not, if they can really calculate the location of the second array, the garrison will not be in this position." ”
"Then what should we do? Shall we go around from both sides?" Jing Hao, who was already completely convinced of Li Yichen at this time, naturally made up his mind that everything would obey Li Yichen's orders.
"No! In the next two days, there will be a lot of troops passing by on our left and right sides, and if we go around, we will most likely encounter a stronger team!" Li Yichen immediately shook his head and denied.
"Then what should we do? According to your previous analysis, we must rush to the first predetermined position within two days, otherwise we won't be able to catch up even if we know the location of the second array by then!" Before the operation, Li Yichen and Jing Hao had already deduced the route of action several times, and almost made an accurate budget for which position to reach in each time period.
Since Li Yichen has seen through the great array of the underworld, he can naturally deduce the direction of action of their troops, if they can't reach the designated position on time, then they will encounter the interception of the underworld army on the next route, with the strength of their dozen or so people, it is absolutely impossible to rush through the pass.
"How could such an army be stationed here?" Li Yichen's brows tightened, "Let me think about it!"
The crowd, who had everything in their budget, entered the place smoothly, but suddenly an unexpected situation occurred, and their actions were immediately at an impasse.
And according to Li Yichen's calculations, there should not be this army here anyway.
Seeing Li Yichen fall into deep thought, Jing Hao, although they were secretly anxious in their hearts, no one dared to disturb Li Yichen.
They knew that every step at this time was not just a simple military action, but also contained Li Yichen's understanding of the formation, even if they had countless combat experience, it would not play a big role at this moment.
"Now we are similar to the people of the underworld in appearance and breath, if we can touch a few of them, change into their clothes, and then mix directly with them, do you think it will be successful!" It was Zhang Xiao who spoke, although he usually seemed brave and unscrupulous, but when he arrived on the battlefield, he often relied on his extraordinary courage to launch some unexpected attacks on the enemy.
"I don't know if it will succeed!" Qian Tong, who had always been silent, shook his head and said, "But I know that if we fail, it is impossible for any of us to leave alive!"
Although there were only a few hundred people on the other side, according to the regular army configuration, it might not be possible for even a Fa Yuan Realm powerhouse, and it was not impossible to kill them all with the strength of ten of them.
But the army fights different warriors, and if they want to slaughter their opponents, it is estimated that it will take at least two hours or more, and now in the hinterland of the enemy army, two hours is enough time for the opponent's reinforcements to arrive, once they are entangled, it is not so easy to get out again.
"Our trip is an adventure!" Zhang Xiao insisted on his thoughts, "If we can't get to the first designated place within the estimated time, then our infiltration will become equally meaningless." ”
"Let's see if the captain can come up with a way first, if there is really no way, I can only take a risk!" Jing Hao is also a clever woman at this time, if he is also at this time with a team of hundreds of people, he can naturally rush over, strangle the opponent with the power of thunder and quickly leave the battlefield, but in today's situation, except for this extremely unreliable method, he really has no other way.
"Let's search separately, there should be a water source nearby!" Just when everyone was at a loss, Li Yichen suddenly opened his eyes and said.
"It's impossible that there's no indication on the map at all. Jing Hao immediately shook his head and denied.
"This is the hinterland of the underworld, do you dare to guarantee that the information will not be mistaken?" Li Yichen immediately asked rhetorically.
"What are you looking for water for? Are you going to poison it?" Thinking of Li Yichen's identity as a sorcerer, Jing Hao immediately reacted, but then shook his head and said: "Even if you poison it, it's useless, with their cultivation, even if you put the poison in the water, they may not be able to drink it, after all, even if you don't drink water and eat for a month, it can't have any effect at this level." ”
"The poison must be down, it's useless to go down in the water, but it's not necessarily on the spirit beast!" Thinking of the countless fires on the opposite side last night, Li Yichen said with a smile: "The focus now is to determine if there is a water source nearby, which will be related to our next actions!"
"Does this have anything to do with the formation?" Jing Hao immediately reacted and asked.
"That's good!" Li Yichen said solemnly, "If there is a water source nearby, then there is a high probability that there is a Saint King Realm among the hundreds of people on the other side." ”
"What?Saint King Realm?" Originally, hundreds of people were enough to give everyone a headache, but if there was another Saint King Realm, then there would no longer be an army of hundreds of people in front of them, but a chasm that they would not be able to cross no matter what.
"All this is really my guess, I hope I guessed wrong!" Li Yichen said and took out hundreds of spirit stones that had already been carved and distributed them to a few people, "Next, I will assign each person's route, and while you follow your own route to find a water source, bury the spirit stone in the location I designated." ”
"Yes!" Seeing Li Yichen assigning the task, although everyone had countless doubts in their hearts, they immediately agreed.
Next, Li Yichen first laid out a random formation to completely cover the aura of this place, and then projected a map of this place from the military card, and then arranged everyone's tasks one after another.
"Let's do it now, no matter what step we take, we must rush back here to meet before dark today. Li Yichen said and took out a few sachet-like pendants, "You all hang this around your waist, don't bother with it, as for what effect it will have, you will know when the time comes." ”
"Yes!" the men checked their mission on the map again and began to disperse.
"It's better that I guessed wrong!" After everyone left, Li Yichen also began to act, sighing helplessly, because Li Yichen knew that if he guessed correctly this time, then if he wanted to complete the task of this trip, the opponent in the first battle would be the existence of the Saint King Realm.
Although he had made a lot of preparations in advance, Li Yichen was still not sure of victory.
Li Yichen didn't look for a water source, but quietly sneaked down, he needed to get close to the opponent's military camp and confirm a problem before making a move......
