Darkness can be understood as darkness, and it can also be understood as negative emotions such as gloom and darkness.

It can be a hidden weapon, it can be a secret, or it can be an assassination.

To put it bluntly, it is to complete the use of tactics without the other party's awareness. This kind of trickery is summed up by Xi Zhicai based on what he has learned during the five years he spent avoiding the Japanese on Wajima.

In fact, the word "darkness" is also in line with the rules of using strategies. The so-called strategy is to use the smallest price to exchange for the greatest profit. Starting from this basis, then no matter what strategy is used, there is no distinction between good and evil. Some schemes are too sinister, so there is a distinction between good and evil in this world.

Pang Tong prepared gifts on this road a long time ago, and it may not be able to form a certain scale, but as long as it is a gift left by him, it may come in handy at some time. If there is no purpose, then these gifts must have a long shelf life, at least they will be replaced regularly.

Guo Jia is good at seeking people's hearts. He naturally knows Pang Tong's ability, which is to play chess with several states as a chessboard. No one can guarantee that this is obviously a defeated situation, when will it become a decisive victory.

It’s just that this is someone else’s territory after all, Guo Jia is not as familiar as Pang Tong when it comes to familiarity with this place, and it will be difficult for the people of the Dragon Group to move around here, and it is even more impossible to know every road, and what surprises are waiting for them in the end them.

But it doesn't matter, he still has Xi Zhicai by his side.

Xi Zhi is good at using darkness, so he can not only intimidate the enemy, but also discover those dark tricks that are not known to the public. The two cannot say who is the principal and the deputy, but they can switch roles at any time when needed.

Now, Pang Tong should know that they will ambush here, so how to keep this army as much as possible is the calculation of Xi Zhicai, and the first prelude of this guy is to bring a flood to Pang Tong.

Of course, not many enemies were killed in the end. In fact, you just need to search hard. You should be able to find a lot of soldiers who have landed one after another on the downstream side. But just by looking at the calm appearance of Xi Zhi, you can know the so-called flood. , It's just a cover, a qualified conspirator will not make such low-level mistakes.

At this moment, Pang Tong and the others had already arrived at the exit of the mountain road. Interestingly, the scouts they sent out did not find any traces of the enemy. The army was actually behind the mountain road, at least three miles away. Erli conducted an investigation, but naturally there was no trace.

"It's strange, did Liu Mingjun not take the mountain road, but came here on the road," Li Yan asked.

"Isn't this better," Pang Tong said indifferently.

Li Yan nodded. Pang Tong's words were indeed reasonable. With the effects of the gifts left behind, once Liu Mingjun came from behind, the only result would be loss of troops. Even if he was lucky enough to avoid those gifts, his marching speed would also drop. They are like turtles crawling, it is absolutely impossible to catch up with them.

As long as the army arrives in Chengdu, all the strategies of the other party will lose their meaning.

At that time, at least our side will have more chances to counterattack.

The scouts checked the gifts they had prepared for Liu Mingjun, and it turned out that the equipment and items were well preserved, without any trace of being altered, and no enemy was found within several miles around, and no one knew where the enemy was.

"Perhaps, he is too cautious. No, Guo Jia is good at seeking people's hearts, and he will definitely not fall into the trap so easily...Damn it, what are they planning?" Pang Tong began to think wildly about the safe journey.

It is said that the smarter the person, the more things they think about. People who can play chess with several states naturally think more comprehensively, but also because of the relationship of being too comprehensive, when a certain idea is interrupted or denied, they will He began to generate more thoughts, in layman's terms, he started to think wildly at this moment.

It can be said that he knew that there would be no enemies around, and the scouts kept reporting the surrounding situation, but for some reason, Pang Tong felt that they were all enemies after all, and those enemies were still hiding in places that they couldn't see, heading towards They laugh.

"It's the sky, no...no..." Pang Tong even looked up at the sky, but there was nothing there.

Liu Ming has already researched the airship and successfully air-dropped it once, so Pang Tong naturally needs to pay attention to the biggest blind spot in the sky. He just looked at it for a long time and found nothing similar.

"How's the situation in the rear?" Li Yan asked the scouts.

Since passing that intersection, Li Yan has intentionally increased the strength of the scouts in the rear, and increased the range of the scouts to five miles. Even so, there was no trace of the enemy at all.

In the blink of an eye, one day passed, and the group was only more than 50 miles away from Chengdu. After a day of rapid march, all the soldiers only rested for more than two hours.

Fortunately, this place belongs to the plain area, and there is almost no vegetation, at most, there are a few grasses on the side of the road, but they have been checked again and again by the scouts. Even so, the mutation still happened.

The sudden change came from the ground, that is, a piece of soil was suddenly turned up, and there were several enemy soldiers inside. The first time the soil was turned over, these enemy soldiers decisively threw several grenades at Liu Beijun, and at the same time quickly fled.

Perhaps because they were afraid of the power of the grenade, everyone immediately dispersed.

It's just that after the grenade exploded, there was only a burst of smoke rising, and it didn't cause any actual damage to anyone. The only damage was that the eyes were so smoked that they couldn't open their eyes, and there were a lot of tears and a lot of snot. .

Just at this time, two muffled sounds came, but soon several officers fell like this. They were all middle and low rank officers, but they also had the function of communicating with the upper and lower command systems. At this moment, they were all Death, with a crossbow bolt stuck in his head, is the kind of strong crossbow that can be shot from hundreds of meters and kill the target.

"嗖嗖," twice, but was barely caught by the disciples of the natural sect.

This was a crossbow shot at Pang Tong and Li Yan, but it was intercepted by the disciples of the natural sect who had been prepared for a long time. However, at that time, the two crossbows were only about five centimeters away from the two of them. , A cold sweat broke out in fright.

This is actually really depressing. It is said that generals are not afraid of dying in a hundred battles, but they are too aggrieved in the dark. But it cannot be denied that assassinating local generals on the battlefield is the most effective method.

"Compared with the enemy's backstabbing, I'm more curious about how they ambushed in this place," Pang Tong said, frowning.

It can be seen from the situation that the ambush lasted for at least a day, and at least dozens of people were operating, but the scouts did not find anything, and there was no trace of the enemy around, how did the enemy do this.

But he didn't need to think about this problem soon, just in front of them, the shadow of an army was gradually becoming clear, and there was a rumbling sound coming from the ground, it was the sound of big horses running, only from the sound It sounds like there are at least tens of thousands of people.

"Damn it, it's the ace army," Pang Tong quickly realized.

Yes, at this moment the trump card army has come in front of them, and the heavy armor and the chilling aura emanating from them have fully explained everything.

Only in this way, a new problem appeared.

How did they come here? Did they send another army directly, or did they fly over.

Fly, damn it, the other party obviously ambushed him at the intersection over there, but in fact they used airships to transport soldiers directly from the mountain road to the front line. Maybe not many can be transported in one night, but [-] ace troops were transported here , it can already save a lot of trouble.

At the moment, the situation on their side is also very bad. The biggest problem is that many of their middle and low-level officers died, and a large part of the soldiers will not have any commanders to pass orders and lead them forward.

At this time, the enemy launched a charge, which was calculated from the beginning. Their purpose may not be to kill their own side as much as possible, but to disperse their own team as much as possible. The soldiers will be in a mess.

Damn it, fifteen minutes, even if these soldiers fight for fifteen minutes for themselves, this trump card army is still sure to destroy them, but depending on the situation, fifteen minutes is so difficult to achieve.

Because, at this moment, the sound of horseshoes came from behind, that is the main force is killing them, they were originally on the other side of the mountain road, but now they are just chasing along this route.

"The so-called tide is just to let you know that we may be on the other side of the mountain road. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to make your attention shift to the rear instead of the front. In the last fifty miles, you will inevitably relax a little bit. "In the rear of the main force, Xi Zhicai looked at the front with a smile and said to himself.

"A stab in the back hurts people, psychological hints, dark Chengdu, is worthy of being a master of the dark, it is really hard to guard against," Guo Jia took a sip of the wine gourd, and said to Xi Zhicai beside him.

The wine gourd has returned to his hands, which means that he will continue to serve as the current army division.

Xi Zhicai's mission has been completed, all the darkness began to turn into light, and began to play their roles, but once the light is seen, the darkness will no longer be darkness, so from this moment on, his strategy has nothing to do with the status quo ,
