To be honest, I always feel that I have no idea about this battle and have a bad premonition. Today, my temper is also particularly irritable.

But the anger is still the anger, and this battle needs to be fought.

The sergeant brought the food into the military tent. I looked at Wen Zhong while eating and said, "I have a bad premonition this time. Tonight, you will take the archers up the mountain to ambush, and I will guard this camp."

"In addition, let Xin Huan move tonight, don't rest, just accompany me in the military tent. If you have anything to do, you can quickly deliver the message."

"Okay, I can only do this for the time being! Now the two armies are only fifty miles apart in the mountain road, so it is unrealistic to withdraw troops if they are not clear. Everything will be discussed after all tonight!"

Wen Zhong said that he had finished supper and went to gather the archers to prepare for it. I also took a few bites.

Time has slowly passed Xu hour, and Wen Zhong and the others have already left.

Go early. After all, archers with 20,000 people need time to lie in ambush, especially at night, the mountain is even more invisible. In order not to be revealed, the number of torches is limited.

After talking about it, we also want to talk about Gui Fang Yu Hualong's side.

"Hurry up, or just reach the foot of the mountain!" Yu Hualong sat by the bonfire, and seemed not very satisfied with today's march.

"Father, we are a large-scale cavalry marching. It is not easy to hit 200 miles this day. My father is still angry." The person who said this was Yu Hualong's eldest son.

"I don't know this! According to the plan, I should have crossed Wushan today, but now there is another variable. By the way, is the Condor Heroes back?" Yu Hualong asked.

As he was talking, Wu Zi Yu De approached the bonfire with an eagle on his arm: "Father, the eagle is back!"

Hearing this, Yu Hualong and Yu Da both stood up and Yu De walked to Yu Hualong.

The eagle suddenly flew to Yu Hualong's shoulder and whistled at the Yu Hualong a few times. Then he raised his arm and the eagle flew away again.

"The Condor Heroes said that at the foot of the mountain opposite Wushan, a large-scale army has emerged, with a preliminary estimate of 200,000 to 300,000. If it is expected, it should be the army of the Shang Dynasty."

"Twenty years ago, I was defeated by Wen Zhong from the Shang Dynasty. Today is the time to wash away the shame!" Yu Hualong lowered his head and paced back and forth, and said to his sons.

After a while, Yu Hualong raised his head and said to Yu Da: "Send the order, from today on, stop the march and set up the military tent. We are afraid that we will stay at the foot of this mountain for a while!"

Yu Da went down to pass the order, and Yu Zhao asked, "Sir, why don't you leave?"

"The Shang army is not a fool. Wen Zhong's old man is cunning and knowledgeable about magic. I guess we will expose ourselves while we see them!"

"If what we expected is right, at this moment, they are sending archers to the mountain! I won't touch that bad head!"

"Although my cavalry has 50,000, they are all treasures, so I have to keep them. Our target is not only the Shang Dynasty in front of us, but also Huang Feihu and the entire Central Plains!"

After Yu Hualong finished speaking, he burst into laughter.

Oh, this battle is fought, the two armies are fighting each other, and they are separated by a mountain. What's the matter!

Until almost noon the next day, there was no news coming from Wen Zhong. He was about to ask Xin Huan to inquire, but the soldiers outside the door came to report that Deng Zhong had returned.

I came in with Deng Zhong, and Deng Zhong clasped his fists and said, "Master, I ambushed the top of the mountain with the Grand Master for a night. Until almost noon, I still have no ghosts on the mountain."

"Just before going down the mountain, a man dressed as a ghost soldier secretly went up the mountain. In order not to alert the snake, we let him pass the top of the mountain..."

Before Deng Zhong finished speaking, he heard the Jun report again: "The grain supervisor Zheng Lun came back from escorting the grain and grass, and there was a spy, so he caught him alive!" After hearing this, Zheng Lun immediately came in.

Zheng Lun escorted a man dressed in a ghost soldier into the military tent. Deng Zhong hurriedly came up and said, "It's this person!"

"Raise your head!" I whispered.

But when he slowly raised his head, his gray eyebrows were covered with tears and his sobbing face, I was stunned: Isn’t this General Lu Renjie!

"Zheng Lun, let go of him quickly. This is not a spy from Guifang. This is General Lu Renjie of the Shang Dynasty!" When everyone in the tent was surprised when he heard this.

After a while, when Su Hu heard that Lu Renjie was coming, he hurried over to visit him. However, Lu Renjie briefly explained his experience along the way.

It turned out that after Lu Renjie and Yin Poubai separated, they initially followed the Huang family army toward Chentang Pass.

Unexpectedly, he encountered the incident of the Dragon King of the East China Sea flooding Chentang Pass. Lu Renjie was ordered to escape, but he was confused and rushed to the border of the Ghost Side by the flood. The Ghost Side army captured the strong men and captured him.

In the Guifang army, since he could not speak Guifang language, he could only pretend to be mute, but he could slowly understand a lot of things.

The reason why he escaped this time was that he heard that the Shang army had reached the foot of the opposite side of the mountain, so he ran away under the opportunity of chopping wood.

But I really didn't expect that I could successfully escape and return to the Da Shang army, and what I didn't expect was that I could see me!

"Elder General, you have suffered! Let's talk about the friendship between the king and the minister later. Now the Grand Master Wen is leading archers to ambush on the top of the mountain. They let you go! So let's talk about the situation on the Guifang side first!" I said anxiously.

"Master Master, let Master Wen and the others retreat first. Yu Hualong will not go up the mountain for a while. Now they have set up camp at the foot of the mountain! They are temporarily trying to fight against me, Da Shang!" Lu Renjie said.

Hearing this, I asked Xin Huan to inform Wen Zhong, withdraw it first, and then discuss it.

"Your Majesty, I still have important military information reports..." Lu Renjie said with his fists.

I raised my hand to stop Lu Renjie: "General Lu, don't be in a hurry. You can go and take a break first, change your clothes, and wait for Master Wen to come back, let's discuss together!"

Yes, a great general, now he is running fifty miles away and flees back. Let him take a breath first!

In the evening, Wen Zhong came back, which was very strange. There was no movement on Gui Fangguo's side.

At this time, I, Lu Renjie, Wen Zhong and Su Hu were sitting in the same place, and Lu Renjie specifically mentioned the news he received in the Guifang Kingdom.

"A Taoist has been here before, and it is said that he is named Shen Gongbao. He also invited six gods from the immortal mountain. I can't remember the others, but there is a very famous name called "Golden Spirit Holy Mother".

"There is another master of the five young masters Yu Hualong. I heard that he is a senior brother and sister with this Golden Spirit Holy Mother, and is called 'Wuyun Daxian'. I don't know the other four."

"These six great immortals did not come with the army. Instead, when they needed to come, Yu Hualong's fifth son Yu De would burn incense and burn talismans, and they would arrive immediately."

After Lu Renjie finished speaking, he saluted again.

None of us knows what "Golden Spirit Holy Mother" and what "Black Cloud Immortal" are? Only when Wen Zhong heard this, he pinched the base of the bridge of his nose with his right index finger and thumb, which seemed very distressed and headache!

"Do you know the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit and the Great Immortal of Dark Cloud?" I asked.

"Return to the saint, the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit is my master! Immortal Wuyun is my uncle. No need to ask the rest, they are all my fellow disciples!"

"No one else can tell you, just talk about my master, Holy Mother Jin Ling, who is any of the twelve immortals under the seat of Master Yuanshi Tianzun, Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain. I am afraid they are not her opponent!"

"I was taught by her. How to face her is a problem, but no matter how you face it, you can't beat her is the most important problem!"

Wen Zhong shook his head helplessly, and then continued, "No wonder before we went to the battle, no matter how we divined, we showed that the hexagram was unclear. It turned out that it was my master's interference, but now we finally understand."

Wen Zhong said this, but I became calm: "In other words, this explains why Gui Fangguo is not in a hurry to start a war with us face to face. They now have enough capital to fight us, and even use their external advantages to achieve the goal of preserving their true strength."

"So the next one is definitely a magic war, and then the war will come together!"

I finally know why the premonition is bad. With such a big shot to help them, how good is this premonition!

"The emperor is wise, and I think so too. I'm afraid I'm going to fight across the mountains this time!"

Wen Zhong replied, then paused, then thought about it and continued to speak.

"For safety reasons, I suggest that the army retreat fifty miles. First, the straight line distance between the south and north of the mountain is too close, and the opponent is too strong. We do not understand the enemy situation, so there are more adverse factors to us. It is better for us to retreat and let them cross the mountain."

"Secondly, these fifty miles can be used as a buffer for the impact distance of the opponent's cavalry. As long as we open the distance of these fifty miles, we can observe the opponent's movements more easily, and we can adjust our advance and retreat freely."

"This is not a foolproof strategy, but a way to minimize losses. With the opponent's current strength, if we leave without fighting, the opponent will counterattack wildly. It is better to retreat with the opponent than to fight."

After hearing what Wen Zhong said, I agree quite well. Since I know that the strength is very different, I should protect myself first and then divide the area.

In order to make preparations early, I immediately ordered to go down and start preparing. After using supper, I retreated overnight.

Just as the troops started having supper, thick fog suddenly rolled in the sky, black wind blew, and biting evil and cold.

There was a panic in the army. The soldiers had already put down their bowls and chopsticks, picked up swords and guns, and all the generals rushed out of the military tent and watched the celestial phenomena.

In just half an hour, the wind stopped and the fog dissipated, and everything returned to normal. If something went wrong, there would be a demon. So I shouted: "The three armies obey the orders, hurry up and clean up, and retreat immediately!"
