Otherworld Qin

Chapter 371
Shengxuan strolled around the empty camp, and found a lot of messy footsteps. Obviously, the Calais soldiers in this camp were still in a hurry when they retreated. He didn't find any useful clues, so he continued to move towards Walk outside the camp.

The footprints of tens of thousands of people were very messy at first, but after walking out of the big camp for several miles, it became very obvious. Following the footprints and walking a certain distance, Cheng Xuan suddenly realized a problem, so he couldn't help but let him squat down to check what was left on the ground. Mark of.

These footprints are too neat, even if a soldier of the legion is well-trained, I am afraid that they will not be able to walk such a neat pace. Then he stood up to identify the direction, and he couldn't help showing a smile, "Calais, you can say that you are Fei. I tried my best, but this time I am afraid it is self-defeating."

Going down this distance is likely to meet Tian Xiao, so it is unlikely that the people of Calais will go this way, so Sheng Xuan summoned the wind snake to return to the camp again, after a careful inspection, he suddenly found that there was no The trace of attention is a blurred mark. If you don't look carefully, it is easy to be mistaken for the trace of the wind, but if you look closely, you will find that it is left after the footprints were deliberately erased.

"Could it be this direction?" Shengxuan became a little confused, because this is the most impossible direction, because this direction leads to Yingtoujian, "Both directions are wrong? Then where did the Calais go?" ? Could it be that they can all fly in the air?"

This is absolutely impossible, because if you want to fly in the air with fighting spirit, you need at least a holy level of cultivation, and the distance is not too far, so where did they go?Is it the escape?This is even more impossible, even if Sheng Xuan's cultivation base of the earth system magister wants to lead tens of thousands of people to flee the earth, it is absolutely impossible.

Sheng Xuan couldn't help riding the wind snake up into the air, and then looked down at the entire Calais camp from the air, trying to find some clues, suddenly a strange phenomenon appeared in his eyes, "Huh?" I saw some tents in the camp with blurred marks It was almost imperceptible, where there should be some tents, but now these tents are gone.

"Could it be taken away by someone? But a lot of supplies were left behind in the camp. It is obvious that the people of Calais intend to move forward lightly. Why do they have to carry heavy tents?" At this moment, a sudden gust of wind blew past the camp. The blowing of the imprint became more blurred, which made his heart move. He walked out of the camp against the wind, and suddenly saw a slow rocky cliff.

At that moment, Sheng Xuan finally understood the way these Calais used to cover up their traces, "Is it by the wind? You are really smart." Thinking about it, he jumped off the ground, and saw a trace of roughness in the cracks in the rock. Take a closer look at the hemp thread. It is the material used by the people of Calais to make tents.

Everything is understood, these Calais must have cut their tents into small pieces, wrapped them around their feet, and slid slowly down this rocky cliff, leaving almost no traces, even if there were some tiny ones. Because this side is facing the wind, all the traces will be eliminated soon after the wind blows. If you follow the traces you just discovered, it will only waste time.

Under the rocky cliff is a rugged valley, where the dry river bed full of gravel lies quietly. Maybe only in the rainy season will there be water flowing here, and a large number of rocks will be brought down on the mountain. After years of rain erosion, The rocks on both sides of the bank are exposed, forming a natural stone road. Although it is a bit steep, it is not impossible to walk, especially when the feet are wrapped in rough sackcloth.

"It seems that this General Calais has also taken great pains." Sheng Xuan walked along the road he found, and then found several traces. He couldn't help but be sure that the Calais must have taken this road.

After a long wolf howl, echoes came from around after a while. Although Shengxuan didn't know some too complicated howls, he was very familiar with the simple communication. It was very easy to pass the news through this howl Soon a golden wolf warrior came.

"Tell Langya that the battle here is over, and let him mobilize [-] wolf cavalry and [-] infantry to gather at the foot of the mountain in front, and the rest of the soldiers will all return to the camp to obey the command of the Golden Wolf King. There should be no more surprises this time, just Just ask them to surround Calais’ southern army, if they encounter a strong attack from Calais, open a gap in the mountain leading to the Moon Dance Forest, and let the Calais break out from that direction.” Sheng Xuan said himself After carefully explaining his orders to a battalion commander and writing a short message to the Golden Wolf King, he drove the Wind Snake to follow the Calais' route.

At this time, Shengxuan wanted to track down the traces of the Calais, fearing that those traces would disappear after a long time, but after he reunited with Langya, he realized that these worries were unnecessary, because those magic wolves could distinguish them through their sense of smell. Given the scent of a few days ago, tracking these Calais was no problem at all.

Chased along the winding mountain road for dozens of miles, but still did not find any traces of the Calais. Seeing that the sky was about to darken, Shengxuan couldn't help feeling a little impatient. It is not a good thing to enter the swamp late at night in this early spring season.

Although the ice and snow have not completely melted, there are also some sunny places that thawed ahead of time, making the entire swamp look wet, but it will drop to freezing point at night, making the ice water that melted during the day freeze into a thin layer. A layer of ice looks very clean and smooth under the starlight, but it happens to hide the murderous intent in the swamp.

The fallen leaves and weeds deposited in some swamps, with the arrival of early spring, began to ferment slowly under the baking of the sun, which caused the temperature in the swamp to rise suddenly, and also accelerated the speed of thawing of the surrounding mud, so that these The swamps have regained their ferocious faces, but now they are hidden under thin ice, making this mysterious and terrifying swamp full of murderous intent.

As long as you go around a small hill in front of you, you can see the swamp. At this time, a small group of golden wolf warriors is exploring the way in front of your head. Suddenly, a crossbow bolt shoots fiercely at the magic wolf that is chasing ahead. The golden wolf warrior was taken aback, and immediately shouted loudly while looking for cover, "Be careful, there is an ambush ahead!"

At this moment, Shengxuan was only two miles away from the pathfinding warriors in front. Hearing the chaos ahead, he hurriedly left the brigade and rushed up. At this moment, the small group of pathfinding orc warriors had been suppressed under the hillside. Calais heavy crossbow let them They didn't dare to raise their heads, and several people in the team couldn't dodge the crossbow arrows in their bodies. Although they avoided the vital points, they were seriously injured.

"How many people are there?" Sheng Xuan directly asked the captain next to him, but the captain became nervous when he saw Sheng Xuan, "Master Angel." He was about to salute in a hurry, but was stopped by Sheng Xuan, "tell me first Let’s take a look at the situation of the enemy, how many of them have been investigated?”

"My lord envoy, we haven't had time to investigate. It is estimated that there are hundreds of heavy crossbowmen, and others..." "Okay, you continue to hide here, lest the Calais find out and escape." After finishing speaking, he quietly returned Among the group, he called Lang Fang and said, "Take two thousand wolf riders and quietly go around behind the Calais. When you give the signal, we will attack back and forth. Let's go."

In fact, Chengxuan had already expected that the ambushing here was just a suspicious soldier, and the number of people would not be too many. I am afraid there were only a few hundred heavy crossbowmen, but he still did not dare to be careless. Since he has a large army at hand, why would he take the risk? No need to risk it?Even if a male lion faces a rabbit, it must exert its full strength. This is the attitude towards the enemy.

But what he was worried about was another thing. This place was not far from the swamp, so why did the Calais lay in ambush here?Is it really impossible to cover the army into the swamp?You must know that entering the swamp rashly at this time is very dangerous.

If it is not to cover the retreat of the army from the swamp, then why arrange an ambush here?Just thinking about hearing the signal from Spike Fang, he couldn't help but attack the small hillside. Only then did he realize that the Calais arranged these crossbowmen very cleverly. They were in groups of ten. Several groups of people guarded a simple offensive, and the distance between each other was only tens of feet, but they were able to respond to each other. In addition, they had enough crossbow arrows in their hands, so the orc warriors couldn't get close for a while.

Shengxuan was not in a hurry for these, but was carefully considering what the Calais' intentions were. Could it be that they really wanted to rely on these hundreds of crossbowmen to cover the army's retreat?You must know that without the cover of other arms, these heavy crossbowmen can't leave their simple offensive at all, which means that they have been abandoned here, and they only pose a threat to the limited range below the hillside. , can completely avoid this ambush.

Judging from these, it is obvious that their purpose is not to stop themselves, so there is only one most reasonable explanation, which is to let themselves make mistakes in judgment. Thinking of this, Cheng Xuan hastily called the wolf rider beside him, "You immediately take a The White Wolf Rider went around here and rushed to the edge of the swamp to check, if you find a large group of Calais, don't get entangled and report to me immediately, if you don't find it, then look northwest along the swamp."

For this small battle, Shengxuan didn't take it seriously at all. Victory is only a matter of time. He was also happy to let the soldiers under him take this opportunity to exercise. In the future, they will inevitably attack the enemy's defense line. One more actual combat training will be more One point to win.

Soon the battle came to an end, and only a few heavy crossbowmen from Calais who were in a difficult position were still resisting. After a few rounds of shooting with the soldiers led by Spike, the sparse crossbow arrows finally stopped. Sheng Xuan walked over to check For a moment, it was just this simple battle. Because he was not familiar with the Calais heavy crossbowmen, and it was the first time to attack the opponent's line of defense, he still caused some casualties to the orcs. This made him frown slightly, and then followed the wolf Ya talked about his mishandling in this battle.

The army slowly marched towards the swamp. It was already dark at this time, and suddenly there were several howling wolves in the distance. Hearing the interpretation of the soldiers beside him, Sheng Xuan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, "I found a lot of people in several directions. Did the Calais divide their troops outside the swamp? What is their purpose? Is this another intentional smoke?"
