Proud Ruler of the World

Chapter 49 - Ambush and Countersiege

In the forest, wherever the three of them went, regardless of whether they were demons or demons, as long as they had a bit of consciousness, they would all avoid it, afraid of offending anyone.

This was enough to see just how terrifying Hua Shu's power was in this region. Most likely, if he were to lead this group of demon beasts to slaughter their way into the humans, none of them would hesitate.

Chu Fanliang and Chu Yunyan traveled for a while, but they were only able to travel a few dozen miles. In the past, people like them would have left within two hours, but now, an entire afternoon had passed and they still hadn't left the forest yet.

Finally, they had exited the forest just before dusk. Chu Fanliang and Chu Yunyan took a deep breath, they had finally relaxed for half a day, how could they get over it so quickly?

However, Hua Shu was in a completely different state. After exiting the forest, he started to remain silent, and his domineering aura within the forest gradually disappeared.

A master is like this, even if he does not understand the rules of the Mortal Realm, he would still know how to restrain himself. The reason why the God Realm and the Immortal Realm were unable to capture Mortal Realm was because the Mortal Realm was the most mysterious existence in the six realms.

Hua Shu restrained his aura, wanting to keep a low profile. If it was really too high profile, a tree demon, no matter how high his martial arts might be, would still be afraid of a pack of wolves.

"Wait, the sound of horses' hooves!" Chu Fanliang pulled Chu Yunyan back, and at the same time, he stopped in his tracks.

"Horseshoe sound, what's there to be so surprised about?" Hua Shu said with disdain.

"There are so many sounds of hooves!"

"My father's army is stationed here. Senior, Yun Yan, quickly leave. There's a change in our plan!" Chu Fanliang said anxiously. Soon after, she pulled Chu Yunyan and started to run, but Hua Shu had no choice but to follow along.

At this time, within Chu Zhi's camp, the sounds of battle and shouts continuously rang out, and several tens of thousands of people were fighting. Situ Leshui finally could not hold it in and was the first to make his move.

Needless to say, they must have been killed by the entire army. The two hundred thousand recruits had charged into the two hundred thousand elite soldiers. This Situ Leshui was really courting death.

Chu Fanliang's original intention had been destroyed, but this was also good. Of course, the plan could not change as quickly as it had. All of this came from Jiang Qing.

Although Jiang Qing was the defeated one, he was still a general, so he went to participate in the high-level meeting. What they meant was to discuss how to fight next.

In the end, they were divided into two factions, with one defending and the other defending. This was the reason for their victory in every battle.

As the defeated general, Jiang Qing only watched their debate without saying anything unnecessary. Both sides had their own reasons for this argument, and they did have their own reasons.

One side believed that the best defense was to attack. The other side was of the opinion that they only had to delay them until they fell behind.

Therefore, when Situ Leshui became indecisive and saw Jiang Qing, he could not help but ask, "What do you think?"

"Attack, they are exhausted from the long journey. They've chased us for a hundred thousand people for a long time, and they haven't rested since we left the northern border. I feel like we should lead our troops and attack them while they have time to rest. "

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"I believe that this is the first time that our two hundred thousand recruits have marched and fought. Although they have no experience, they are all hot-blooded men. And unlike them, we have only been in the army for a few days. We are full of energy, but they have been traveling for a long time.

It was a good time for the whole army to attack. If we keep defending and wait for them to finish their rest, how can our two hundred thousand recruits block their two hundred thousand strong army? "So right now, I think attacking is the best option."

Jiang Qing volunteered himself and rode five thousand. He took the lead to charge forward like a death squadron. But, that Situ Leshui did not know, that he was the one reporting everything!

Jiang Qing led the five thousand strong cavalry to arrive in front of Chu Zhi's camp, and tens of thousands of people followed along. Not only that, the number of people was increasing, and not long after, all of the two hundred thousand soldiers had arrived.

There was not a single person outside of Chu Zhi's army camp. Furthermore, there was not a single person inside either. They thought it was strange in the middle of the day.

Where did the two hundred thousand people go? Out of caution, Situ Leshui sent only a thousand light cavalry soldiers in. Not long after, the Light Cavalry reported that the camp was empty and that all the grain camps were in the camp, but no transport was found.

Situ Leshui was ecstatic, but at the same time, he asked a question, where did everyone go? Following that, 10,000 people were put in, and the spoils of war began to be harvested.

The new recruits saw that before they could even fight, the enemies had already run away. Unavoidably, they were all overjoyed. Situ Leshui observed for a while before he brought the army in. Fifty thousand people still remained outside of Chu Zhi's camp, and Jiang Qing's five thousand strong cavalry was right in front of them.

They finally finished collecting the camp and the food. Just as they were about to retreat, there was a shout from outside Chu Zhi's base camp. These two hundred thousand recruits had never seen such a formation before. They, who had been extremely happy just a moment ago, were now at a loss as to what to do.

After all, Situ Leshui was a famous general, he had seen a lot in big scenes, so he did not panic when facing danger.

"Don't panic, we have a favorable terrain in the army camp that can definitely block their attack!" Situ Leshui's voice rang out within the camp, and the group of people, who were like ants on a hot pan, started to calm down.

These hundred and fifty thousand people began to organize their defenses. The fifty thousand people outside the army camp started to fight with Chu Zhi's army.

The sun had already set, and this was the time for the Heavenly Might Army to start dinner. Their army had been busy the whole afternoon, and they had not even eaten dinner, when they saw Chu Zhi and the rest rushing out.

Chu Zhi's timing was very good, it was the time for them to relax, although it was not any surprise attack, but they did not even eat, how could they have the strength to fight.

The Profound Sky cavalry and the cavalry of Chu Zhi's army, which were outside of the original army camp, were now fighting together. They only had fifty thousand riders, and although Chu Zhi and the rest didn't have that many, they were better than the rest.

The people in the army camp continuously started to support the people outside of the camp. Chu Zhi's army had already rushed up to them in one go, the fifty thousand cavalrymen had all been killed and only then did the reinforcements arrive.

After that, the two armies started a true battle. Chu Zhi's army was skilled in fighting one against ten, and not long after, Situ Leshui's army was barely able to hold on.
