Chapter 295 Substituting one thing for another
In the camp, the three of them were transmitting messages and conspiring.
The brazier in the tent crackled, and the wind from the plains blew by outside.
The firelight reflected on the faces of the three young people, which seemed to be a little dark, and their expressions were also a little uncertain.
"Mr. Yao is a serious nuisance to my three brothers and has always been on guard and suspicious of us. This time when he is not around Demon King Kuihu, it is a God-given opportunity for you and me!"
"That's right, this monster is stable and experienced. According to its fighting style, we won't be able to break into Hongya Cave in a hundred years. Having it blowing wind in the ears of Demon King Kuihu will be very detrimental to us."
"Brother, how are you going to send a message to Mr. Yan?"
"Third brother, don't worry, I have my own clever plan!"
"Brother, don't show off at this time, we can still share the burden for you."
"Yes, we have to collude in advance, otherwise it will not end well."
……
Young Master Jiuyou pondered for a moment, and felt that it made sense, so he revealed his plan in full.
"Brother Wei has made two preparations this time. We can borrow a knife to kill someone without us taking action ourselves!"
"Just so and so"
……
Lin Shan and Zhong Shenxiu looked at each other and smiled after hearing this. This move coincided with what they thought!
However, Young Master Jiuyou is rich in experience and has even thought of a way out.
"If Mr. Yan is lucky enough to survive this time, he can be defeated later and he will be put in a big scapegoat!"
"You guys, listen to me"
……
After hearing this, the two of them praised him again and again. As expected of the eldest brother, this game of intrigue is really ruthless!
Zhong Shen Xiuyi pointed out: "Brother seemed to have used magic methods in the Xuanwu body pit a few days ago. Could it be"
Young Master Jiuyou laughed: "Those two magic treasures were just what I got from killing two demonic monks. Because I was short of money and couldn't afford to hire a refiner to make them again, I just used them to show off for the time being."
Seeing that Zhong Shenxiu was suspicious, Lin Shan knew that Confucianism and Demonism had not dealt with each other very well, so he quickly came out to smooth things over.
"Haha, it's not important! Since the three of us are sworn brothers, our origin is our origin, and our friendship is our friendship, why should we be so serious!"
Young Master Jiuyou nodded repeatedly: "What the second brother said is absolutely true!"
Zhong Shenxiu's eyes flickered, and he could only agree: "What the second brother said is absolutely true."
……
In the king's tent.
Demon King Kuihu is sitting on the throne, with an urgent letter on his desk. It is made of Du Heng grass and gray ancient rhinoceros skin. It has the advantage of being waterproof, high temperature and abrasion resistant. It is a special letter paper for the demon clan's military camp.
The three of them in Linshan were waiting respectfully under the tent. This letter of contact was naturally drafted by Young Master Jiuyou.
The time and place are written on it, as well as the task arrangement, which is roughly as follows:
[Mr. Yan must be well prepared, and it is agreed that at midnight the day after tomorrow, the Yuanlu Demon King will ambush at the entrance of "Jingqi Forest", the only way to return, and the two parties will attack from the front and back at the same time. 】
Demon King Kuihu nodded and thought there was no problem. He handed the letter to his confidant "General Xiong" and asked him to send the demons to deliver it to Mr. Yao.
Lin Shan and the other three retreated with General Xiong.
After leaving the king's tent, General Xiong called for a young general in the army. He was a yellow salamander wearing a yellow light helmet. His eyes were small and round, and he looked like a rat with a sinister eyebrow.
After receiving the letter, the demon burrowed directly into the soil, submerged into the ground and disappeared.
General Xiong ignored Lin Shan and the others and turned back to the king's tent.
Lin Shan and the other three looked at each other and returned to their tents in silence.
……
After a while, behind a small slope outside the military camp.
The three people in Lin Shan formed a circle, and in the middle was the young general in the army who had just sent the message, the yellow salamander with the sinister eyebrows and rat eyes.
It's just that this demon doesn't have the agility it had just now, but instead has a dull look in its eyes.
"Brother, your ability to control monsters is really powerful. You have actually controlled the messengers in the army for a long time without anyone noticing, and you even hid it from everyone!"
Lin Shan was amazed and amazed.
Zhong Shenxiu circled around the yellow salamander twice, with confusion written on his face.
"This doesn't seem like a demon-controlling technique, but rather like a demon-possessing technique?"
Young Master Jiuyou's heart skipped a beat before he could defend himself.
Lin Shan waved his hand directly from the side: "Hey, why are you worrying about this? Since eldest brother can control the messenger, this matter will be easy to handle. It doesn't matter what method is used!"
Young Master Jiuyou breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the two good brothers would discover his true identity, and was very grateful to Lin Shan for his "understanding".
"This demon has been enslaved by me, and now it has room to show off. Mr. Nong will definitely fall into a big trap!"
After saying that, he took out the letter from the yellow salamander and took it away, then took out a new letter and stuffed it into the monster's bag, then shot a ball of black energy into its body, and the monster's eyes recovered. It became agile and began to spin around.
"Go ahead and make sure it's delivered tomorrow night."
The yellow salamander nodded humanely, then burrowed into the soil and disappeared.
Lin Shan and Zhong Shenxiu praised in unison: "Brother's trick is to give Mr. Yan a surprise!"
Young Master Jiuyou chuckled: "Let's destroy this letter on the spot. It will still be a disaster if we keep it in our hands."
……
In the early morning of the next day, Demon King Kuihu left only an empty camp and led his army to bypass the place where Xuanwu refused corpses and followed Demon King Yuanlu away.
……
It's night in Hongya Cave.
"Kill!"
"Ouch~~~"
"Boom~~~"
Mr. Yao is leading an army to attack fiercely. Hongya Cave is the nest of Yuanlu Demon King, so the defense should be quite tight.
It's just that this time, in order to complete his victory in one battle, he ambushed the Demon King Kuihu in the Xuanwu Corpse Rejection Area and took away almost all the elites. Those who stayed in their hometown were basically the old, weak, sick and disabled.
Even with the help of the mountain guarding formation, without the control of the formation master, the uncultured demon soldiers and generals alone would not be able to exert 100% of their power.
Mr. Yan has led troops for many years, and he is able to control military formations with ease and uses various methods in endlessly.
The Flying Fish Formation, the Wild Goose Feather Formation, the Wandering Dragon Formation, the Dapeng Formation, etc., rely on the power of the demons to shape the soul of the army, and can even be comparable to the Nascent Soul stage combat power!
After all, this raiding force not only has thousands of elite demon soldiers, but also Demon King Kuihu's trump card "Flying Bear Army", as well as nearly two digits of demon generals. Together, the military formation evolved is extremely powerful.
The demon clan's military formation has gathered the power of thousands of demon clans. What a huge force it is when combined together! The Nascent Soul stage did not dare to resist forcefully, and could only adopt a posture of killing and fighting. This is also the reason why Demon King Kuihu dared to let his men raid the rear area.
He doesn't even have the fighting power of the Nascent Soul stage. When the Yuanlu Demon King comes back directly, won't he kill all these troops with one slap? What about attacking from both front and back?
Among the "Flying Bear Army", all of them are heterogeneous flying bears with two wings on their ribs. They can breathe fire and spit out electricity. They can form a battle formation and invite savage beasts like thunder bears. The mountain protection formation of Hongya Cave was attacked. There was a shaking, and the ground shook and dust and gravel rolled down.
The leader of the guards inside is a young gray deer, who is the adopted son of the Yuanlu Demon King. At the moment, he is "chirping" to dispatch the demon soldiers in the cave to defend everywhere, and more importantly, to guard against the so-called "traitors".
The reason is that Demon King Kuihu was once the overlord of this area, so Mr. Yan could also use his influence to arrange an internal response in Demon King Yuanlu's lair, and he always felt that he could use it one day.
As a result, it happened that Lin Shan proposed the strategy of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao. In order to put pressure on this side, Mr. Yao used a secret weapon and almost broke through Hongya Cave.
Fortunately, the protective formation left by the Demon King Yuanlu was powerful enough. Even after so many formations were destroyed, it was still functioning. However, this also forced his adopted son to ask for help from the Xuanwu corpse-rejecting place, which could be regarded as achieving Mr. Yan's goal in disguise. Purpose.
Guard Huilu knew very well how powerful Mr. Ao was. There was absolutely no way he could have only one secret agent. There was definitely another spy lurking, so he could only muster ten thousand efforts to be on guard.
There was thunder and fire for a while, and Mr. Yan temporarily withdrew his troops.
Just put enough pressure on it. Its character is to be stable. It will lead the troops back to the outer camp first.
There was a messenger waiting inside for a long time.
A yellow salamander with sinister eyebrows and rat eyes came forward and handed over a secret letter with gold lacquer edges.
Mr. Yao took the secret letter. The steady character he had developed over the years made him check it first. He found that the envelope was tight and had not been opened or wrapped. The messenger was indeed the messenger from Demon King Kuihu's tent. Then he felt relieved.
Opening the envelope and taking out the letter, the contents roughly emerged:
[Mr. Ming Nong will ambush the Yuanlu Demon King at "Jingqi Forest" on his way home at three o'clock in the evening tomorrow. The two parties will attack from the front and back at the same time. There must be no mistakes. 】
After reading it, the letter spontaneously ignited without any wind and dissipated into smoke.
"???"
Mr. Yan was puzzled. Letters in the military were all made from Du Heng grass and gray ancient rhinoceros leather. They were fireproof, waterproof, high temperature and abrasion resistant. I had never heard of them spontaneously combusting after reading them!
Could it be that because this time it was too confidential, the king was afraid that I would leak the information, so he changed it to a one-time use?
Mr. Yan pondered for a moment, returned to his tent, opened the map, and found the ambush location.
"Jingqi Forest is three hundred miles long. With the speed of the army of herbivorous monsters under the Yuanlu Demon King, it can be passed in about three quarters of an hour."
"At midnight, Demon King Yuanlu happened to arrive at Jingqi Forest. At three o'clock, he should be marching through the second half of Jingqi Forest. I set up an ambush at the exit of the forest and set up a pocket, just in time to block Demon King Yuanlu's return."
"The king is following you with his troops, so they cannot get too close. Once a battle breaks out on my side, it will take about a quarter of an hour for the other side to arrive, so I need to lead my troops to ambush and resist Demon King Yuanlu for a quarter of an hour to fight for the king. Opportunity"
Mr. Yan was pacing in front of the map and thinking, sketching out various tactical details in his mind.
For a quarter of an hour, with the strength of its men, it should be no problem to block the Yuanlu Demon King.
After all, Demon King Kuihu allocated half of his troops before leaving, and Demon King Yuanlu returned to defense this time with less than half, so the lower-level combat power is actually about the same, but the high-level combat power needs to use the power of the military formation. Towed.
Mr. Nong took a pen and drew circles on the map. After knowing what he knew, he immediately led his troops. He did not break up the camp, but quietly withdrew from the rear, preparing to set up an ambush outside Jingqi Forest in advance.
The defenders of Hongya Cave had been frightened for a long time and did not dare to come out to investigate. Naturally, they had no way of knowing Mr. Nong's movements.
……
"Boom~~~"
“Tap tap tap~~~”
The army of Demon King Yuanlu is galloping on the plain, hurrying up and down without stopping.
The setting sun in the evening hung low on the distant horizon, giving the grasslands a layer of blood, but it did not affect their eagerness to return home at all.
Yuanlu Demon King did not go back alone, because it knew Mr. Yan's military skills. He could not defeat the opponent in a short time on his own. Only by leading an army to suppress the rear with thunderous force could he return to the front line and resist defense.
What makes it more worried is the Xuanwu Corpse Rejection Ground. It is not known whether it can survive the fierce attack of Demon King Kuihu for five days.
If it wasn't worried in the past, it would be afraid of the human formation master opposite, who is too evil
Return to the army all the way until nightfall.
At that time, the army marched into Jingqi Forest.
After Demon King Yuanlu passed by, Demon King Kuihu's army also chased to Lin Qian, but all the demon soldiers under his command were so tired that they were breathing heavily.
Compared with the herbivorous monsters that like to migrate at every turn, they are really incompetent!
Fortunately, there is Jingqi Forest in front of us, and the decisive battle is coming.
"Commander Zhong, what time is it now?"
"Your Majesty, the time is approaching!"
"Keng!~~~"
Demon King Kuihu unsheathed his sword and pointed it straight ahead.
"All the generals obeyed the order, raised the blood-burning banner, gathered the encouragement of the demon formation, and killed!"
All the demon generals in the Golden Core period took out a big blood-colored flag, and when they waved it, ripples appeared in the sky and the earth, like a halo blessing effect. The demon soldiers under Demon King Kuihu immediately became energetic and full of energy.
The three of them in Lin Shan also felt that their hearts were about to stir, and a primitive bloodthirsty desire began to boil.
"Ouch~~~"
The brief burst allowed his men to move faster than usual, and they caught up with the army of Demon King Yuanlu in front of them in a short time.
"Roar!~~~Kill!~~~"
The Yuanlu Demon King who was galloping in front was also shocked. He suddenly turned his head and looked at the jackals and leopards that were rushing from behind. He felt the opponent's speed and knew that he could not escape. He quickly ordered his men to turn around and form a formation, and the rear team became the front team.
However, they formed a hasty formation and were unable to withstand the momentum of the demon soldiers under Demon King Kui Hu.
Just like ancient cavalry hedging, whichever side accumulates a speed advantage first will be overwhelmed by the other side.
The army under Demon King Yuanlu was at a disadvantage in a short period of time, and was massacred in front of them. Fortunately, they far exceeded the enemy in numbers, and their stamina was endless. After paying the price, they could barely resist the decline.
Demon King Kuihu in the sky has already started fighting against Demon King Yuanlu. The two have been fighting against each other for so many years, and they already know the truth.
What puzzles Demon King Kuihu is that at the entrance of Jingqi Forest, which was agreed upon, there will be a two-sided attack at midnight. Where is Mr. Nong and his friends?
Demon King Yuanlu was even more upset at this time. Unexpectedly, Demon King Kuihu not only did not take the opportunity to seize the Xuanwu corpse-rejecting place, but instead realized that he was planning to quietly return to the army, and went after him to pester him!
Could it be that it wants to hold me back so that Mr. Yan can break into my lair, Hongya Cave?
Then, my subordinates and I will become rootless ducks and can only become fish on their chopping board?
The more Yuanlu Demon King thought about it, the more panicked he became. He had no intention of fighting with Kuihu Demon King and just wanted to escape as soon as possible.
It's just that it's useless to escape on its own. The tens of thousands of troops below cannot be abandoned, otherwise it won't be able to defeat Mr. Nong's army just by itself.
There was still a fierce battle below. At first, because of the bloodthirsty power provided by the battle flag, Kuihu Demon King had the upper hand. Later, after a cup of tea, the power of the aura failed, and the herbivorous monsters had the endurance and endurance. Just stand out.
The two battlefields were once again in balance.
What started out as an ambush turned into an encounter. You can imagine how bad Demon King Kui Hu was feeling.
And its number one confidant, Mr. Nong, was currently at the exit at the other end of Jingqi Forest, watching the sky and counting the stars at night.
"At 2:00 p.m., Demon King Yuanlu should have walked halfway, and he is about to prepare for the battle. I just don't know if the king can keep up in time."
While it was still pacing outside the forest, it inadvertently glanced into the distance from the corner of its eyes, and there seemed to be faint stars flickering.
That was actually Demon King Kuihu fighting with Demon King Yuanlu in the sky, but they were too far apart, and Mr. Yao's eyesight was dim, so naturally he didn't have the ability to see through three hundred miles with one gaze.
As for the battlefield below, due to the cover and obstruction of the dense forest, it could not reach Mr. Yao at all.
However, I have to say that Mr. Yi was experienced and could smell something amiss at this time. He immediately found a team of scouts and ordered them to go to the front of the forest to detect the enemy's situation.
