Chapter 410

Looking at him, he disappeared in an instant. There was a glimmer of envy in Ye Zhiqiu's eyes. His martial arts aptitude was only medium, roughly equal to Zhuge Yan, Bai xugguang and others. Even Duan Muye and Lin Qingyu couldn't match him, not to mention the lack of Lu who built the foundation successfully. This kind of qualification only needs to work hard to enter the Lingtai realm more than ten years or decades later. It's enough to keep fit and prolong one's life. But if you want to go to a higher level, you need a great chance.

And it's almost more difficult to be Lin Mingxuan's top robber than to be Prime Minister of Da Qian.

Thinking of this, ye Zhiqiu can't help but think of Lu que, who is his age. He can't help feeling a little disconsolate. Lu que is really loved by heaven. He not only has a far superior talent and unparalleled intelligence, but also has a rare talent in the world. In addition to his family background and birth, as well as his gentle and peaceful personality, he is almost perfect.

"Lu que, do you mean you have nothing? Or did God send you to make up for the great drought? " Ye Zhiqiu looked at the north and murmured.

"The military division and brothers have been arranged properly, and the wind beast and the thread wildebeest have been fed. As long as you rest for one night, you can recover your strength." Meng Cang went to Ye Zhiqiu, took off his helmet and wiped the rain on his face.

"What about the secret sentry? Are you sure there's no problem?" Ye Zhiqiu asked again.

"All of them are good at hiding and killing assassins. I just went to see their secret sentry. To tell you the truth, it's much better than ours. If I didn't know someone was hiding in advance, I'm afraid I couldn't find it." Li Chang said with admiration.

The predecessor of the Changqing scouting camp under the control of Li Chang was the ace of the Yulin Legion. After three thousand people were made up, and Lu Chun, the Duke of Wei, trained himself in the Changqing camp. Even if the current scouting camp can't be called the top three in terms of concealment and sentry, it's absolutely no problem to rank in the top three among the battalions of the 12th army and the 24th guard. But even so, in the aspect of Scouting camp, it is not as good as those killer assassins who wander around the edge of light and dark all the year round.

"That's good. We can have a night's rest with dark Huang. At least we don't have to be as nervous as before when we were in yanlingyuan." Ye Zhiqiu nodded. What he said to Li Chang was not surprising. If Dark Phoenix didn't have some means, it would not have been able to rise rapidly in the recent less than 20 years and become a killer organization that can keep pace with thorns.

Moreover, ye Zhiqiu also heard about the lunar night rebellion more than two years ago. At that time, the leaders of the eight divisions of the Dark Phoenix had the cultivation of martial arts in the realm of catastrophe. Such strength could easily destroy the royal clan of a small country. How can the Dark Phoenix group trained by these experts be the easy group.

In fact, in Ye Zhiqiu's opinion, some skills of Dark Phoenix and thorn capital are not just tricks in the Jianghu, but also can play an unexpected role in the army. Just like now, they can't get rid of the animal tide too quickly or catch up with it too slowly because of the animal tide they pull along the way, so every soldier is very tired. At this time, Lin Mingxuan's members of the Dark Phoenix Department took over the responsibility of patrolling at night. In Ye Zhiqiu's opinion, it was very appropriate, because even the formally trained scouts and soldiers in the scouting camp were not as good at this aspect as the old men who had been hiding in the dark all the year round and killed invisible people.

"What about tongge grass?" Ye Zhiqiu thought and asked.

"I have sent people to spread the powder all around the mountain forest, but although the continuous drizzle is not big, the water in the forest is flowing down, and it may be washed away soon." Li Chang replied.

Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said, "let's wait until the rain stops. Now it seems that beast tide will stay in Hexing fortress tonight, and there will be no more action. We are very tired along the way, and these mountain beasts may not be much better than us. We need rest, and they also need it. "

"Through the observation in recent days, I found that some beasts in the animal tide run faster in a short period of time than the gale beast and the screw horned horse, but they can't have enough endurance. I hope the herds can continue to use their life potential to maintain their speed. In this way, most of the beasts will die of Qi and blood exhaustion before they wait for Ning'an River, which saves us a lot of trouble. " Meng Cang said with some schadenfreude.

With Meng Cang's words, ye Zhiqiu and Li Chang nodded. In terms of long-distance attacks, these beasts in the mountains and forests are certainly not as good as the carefully selected thread wildebeest and gale beasts. The reason why they maintain a balance of power in speed is that these beasts constantly overdraw their life potential under the influence of karma. But all things have their limits. There is no immortality under the way of heaven. Even the supreme beast has a day when its life is exhausted.

It was because of this that Lu qiaozheng dared to lead the herds off the South Bank of Danshui, and it was because of this that ye Zhiqiu and other three people dared to take on such a task. If the time is not too tight, they can even mobilize a group of gale beasts and thread wildebeest in the grassland of Northern Xinjiang, so that one person can ride two horses, or even one person can ride three horses. In this way, only by competing for speed and endurance, they can kill the animals behind.

"It's raining harder and harder." Listening to the sound of rain beating on the armor, ye zhiqiuwei frowned. Under their feet was a piece of land that had not been developed for hundreds of years. Except for an official road leading from Danshui to Huangyan River, there was not even a proper road. Originally, he thought that the drizzle would be similar to the last night, but now the growing rain is obviously telling him that things are not like this. At the thought that the wet and muddy wasteland after the rain would affect their marching speed, ye Zhiqiu could not help but flash a haze in his eyes.

"The weather in southern Xinjiang is as changeable as a baby's face. I once heard the brothers in the camp say that when Lu Shuai and Gu Hou led them to rush to hexingyuan from Danshui, they also encountered such downy drizzle, and they did not stop after the battle of hexingyuan." Li Chang naturally understood what ye Zhiqiu was worried about and said.

"I've heard about it now, but it's one time after another." Ye Zhiqiu shook his head and said, "when Marshal Lu and deputy marshal Qingcheng led the army to attack, although time was short, they were able to show consideration for the physical strength of soldiers and war animals. But we are not the same. 30% of the herds from xiyuanze are behind us. Once we relax, they will catch up with us. Just like the rest and breathing opportunities we have now, they are all bought by spreading doubts, so the muddy wasteland under the rain has a greater impact on us. "

"Yes." Meng Cang also said, "at the beginning, it took Lu Shuai seven days and seven nights from Danshui to hexingyuan, while we only took more than five days for the same army and the same fighting beast. And now, we are not in the heyday of Danshui. After five days of hard work, it is impossible for us to have a night's rest. The next journey is more difficult for us than before. "

Looking at the taxi drivers sitting on the tree trunks in the rain, Li Chang said, "in fact, the problem we are facing now is not the muddy land in the rain, but the food problem. Just now, Sima in my camp came to me and asked me if I could raise a bonfire for the soldiers to get warm, and cook a few pots of ginger soup for the soldiers to get rid of the cold. I refused. But since we set out in Danshui, we have been using dried meat to satisfy our hunger and mountains and streams to quench our thirst. We haven't eaten anything hot for several days. "

"Yes, it's a matter of physical exertion for the Royal control war beast to keep running. It's hard to supplement the physical exertion only by clean water and dry food. To tell you the truth, even I can't bear it now." Meng Cang sat down beside a big tree beside Ye Zhiqiu, patted his sore legs and whispered.

Because the speed of the wind beast is faster than that of the screw horned horse, the task of attracting the beast away from the herd is basically done by the wind Riding Camp. In order to show sympathy for the soldiers, Meng Cang usually takes people to do such things himself. These days, he is really tired.

"Even so, we can't make a fire." Ye Zhiqiu shook his head. "To make a fire in this kind of weather, there must be heavy smoke. The animal tide is not far away from us. There is no need to put everyone in danger for a meal. Let the soldiers stick to it again. Maybe they won't have to do it again after passing zangfeng mountain."

"Zangfeng mountain?" Meng Cang and Li Chang look at each other. They both take out a map from their arms and look for the place name in Ye Zhiqiu's mouth.

"Commander ye, zangfeng mountain is about two to three days away from us. It's just when the soldiers and beasts are close to their limit again. Moreover, it's still a few days away from the North Valley of Ning'an and ten days away from the river of Ning'an. Why do you say that the situation will get better there?" Meng Cang, who is more frank, asks directly, while Li Chang, who also finds a place to sit down, looks at Ye Zhiqiu, waiting for his answer.

Meng Cang and Li Chang believed that ye Zhiqiu had something to rely on when he said that. However, as the specific leaders, they must know that ye Zhiqiu's plan is related to the lives of thousands of elite riders under his command, which has never been a trivial matter.

"It's like this ~" Ye Zhiqiu told Meng Cang and Li Chang about his previous conversation with Duke Lin Mingxuan of the state of Ning, including the plot in his heart. They have been together for more than half a year. He knows that Meng Cang is rough outside and delicate inside, brave and loyal, while Li Chang is steady and prudent, and he is shrewd in both major and minor matters. Their personalities complement each other, and they all come from poor families. This may be the reason why Lu que arranged them together. So one person counts the short, and the others count the long. He also wants to hear if they have any supplementary ideas.

"That's possible." Li Chang looked at the map and thought for a while, and said, "however, the terrain near zangfeng mountain is flat. Apart from this isolated mountain, it can be said that it is a flat river. After we lead the animal tide there, how can we get rid of the pursuit of the herd?"

"It's not difficult." Meng Cang said, "before you arrive at zangfeng mountain, you lead the scouting battalion and ye Junshi to speed up the escape, and the responsibility of leading the animal tide will be given to our Fengqi camp. In the past five or six days, the brothers have already done it well. As long as the purple Leopard doesn't come out to make trouble, with the foot power of the fast wind beast, we can speed up the escape from the sight of the animal tide when we approach zangfeng mountain."

"I think so, too." Ye Zhiqiu nods. Meng Cang's idea coincides with him, because before Zang Feng wants to attract the animal tide to the cave with human fireworks, they can't use this method any more. The only thing they can rely on is the speed of Feng Qiying. It's just that this time node is difficult to grasp. In his imagination, the best time is when Meng Cangfeng's camp disappears in the sight of beast tide, just when the beast tide arrives at the foot of Cangfeng mountain.

"You can rest assured that we will make no mistakes in this matter. I guarantee that the animal tide will lose our trace when it reaches the foot of zangfeng mountain. " Meng Cang stretched out his hand and pointed out the location of Cangfeng mountain on the map.

Just then, there was a roar of beasts in the direction of hexingyuan fortress. It was like a roar of stones through the air. It could be heard dozens of miles away. With the roar, the soldiers who were half asleep and half awake sat up straight, picked up the weapons they had put around them, and looked at hexingyuan, And those who eat bean cake and alfalfa cake in the rest of the wind beast and thread wildebeest, also have opened their eyes and stood up.

Ye Zhiqiu, Meng Cang and Li Chang look at each other. They can see a trace of worry from each other's expressions. Now they have just rested for a short time, and they are at the most tired moment. If the tide of beasts comes at this time, both men and war riders will not have enough physical strength.

"Duke Lin, but does the tide of animals in hexingyuan move?" Just when the three wanted to send someone to investigate, Lin Mingxuan's figure suddenly appeared beside several people. Ye Zhiqiu's eyes brightened when he saw the visitor. He quickly asked.

"No Lin Mingxuan shook his head and said, "there is no change in the animal tide. I just came to tell you the news because I was afraid of your worry." Lin Mingxuan's cultivation and eyesight can see hexingyuan fortress in the rain, but it's not clear. But even so, he can tell if the tide is active or not.

"The roar of the beast just now?" Ye Zhiqiu asked again.

"It's from the purple leopard, but it's also the most worrying one." Lin Mingxuan looked back at the hexingyuan fortress in the distance. If the black turtle had been lying on the ground, he said.
