He could clearly see that the sky he was in was slowly shrinking at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Xie Danqiong was still unmoved.
This period of suppression, hard work, and struggle had made Xie Danqiong completely mature. The current Xie Danqiong was no longer the little brat when he first came to the Heaven Palace. He was a qualified commander!
He was fully qualified to take charge of an area alone! He could even handle it with ease.
Facing a huge number of enemies that were dozens of times more powerful than his own side, Xie Danqiong was extremely calm from start to finish.
There was no fluctuation in his emotions at all.
The Tianji Intelligence Department sent over the latest news one after another. There was a detailed report on the route of the enemy's twenty-five troops, including the commander, deputy commander, vanguard of each troop, the allocation of troops, and the supply of food.
The level of detail in this report had reached the point of being meticulous!
Xie Danqiong held it in his hand and looked at it carefully. His expression did not change.
A figure suddenly flashed by beside him.
Mu Cang Lan appeared beside him. "They are basically at the limit now. The purity of the army is sufficient and their morale is also very high. Although the number of troops available is much less, their hearts have truly settled down. At least they do not need to worry about any sudden negative situations. "
Xie Danqiong smiled faintly. "Have they truly settled down? I'm afraid they have completely given up? "
Mu Cang Lan smiled bitterly. "Why say it so badly? The truth is really very hurtful."
He paused and said, "The enemy is currently within a thousand miles of the main camp. They are currently surrounding us from all sides. It seems that this battle will begin in a day or two. "
Xie Danqiong nodded. "That's right. We have already made preparations on our side. It's just a battle, nothing more. "
Mu Cang Lan's spirit shook. "I hope that this battle will be able to conquer Cloud Sky!"
Xie Danqiong laughed and handed over the report in his hand. "I, as an outsider, am really not familiar with these people. It's better for you to take charge of the arrangements for this battle."
Mu Cang Lan took the thick stack of papers and only flipped through the first few pages. He actually sucked in a breath of cold air with a hiss.
"Where did you get such detailed information from? Is it reliable? "Mu Cang Lan raised his head and asked almost instinctively.
He couldn't help but be surprised. If the two armies had about the same number of people, then the fact that he had such information in his hands meant that he would win!
This kind of information was enough to overturn the difference in strength between two armies of similar strength!
"I have my own channels." Xie Dan Qiong indifferently said, "This information is absolutely reliable! It was completely real! I can guarantee that this is absolutely true! "
Mu Cang Lan took a deep breath and said, "Since that's the case, I'll have to make a good plan. With this thing, we might be able to give Yuan Tianming a show of strength and boost our morale."
His face was filled with intense hatred and fighting spirit, as well as a faint sigh.
As the great battle unfolded, the ones who died from beginning to end were all Ink Cloud Sky experts!
As for Skyfiends … they would not die!
Wouldn't it make people sigh and wring their wrists if they fought against each other and killed each other?
Xie Dan Qiong's calm gaze was fixed on his face. He said softly, "If you don't harden your heart at this time, what if the Heavenly Devil really sweeps over the world?"
Mu Cang Lan let out a long sigh.
That night.
Mu Cang Lan only had fifty thousand elite troops, but all the experts were sent out. They split into twenty-five groups to cut off the supply route of Yuan Tianming's army.
After a night of fierce fighting, seven of the supply routes were burned and the supply routes were cut off. However, the remaining eighteen failed.
The generals under Yuan Tianming's command were all veterans of war. When marching to war, the supply route was the key to military strategy. How could they not pay attention to this? Experts could go without eating for a long time, but if a high intensity battle broke out, eating was the most effective way to replenish the blood loss.
The supply route was undoubtedly the most important point.
When the people who went to ambush returned, they also reported a new situation. "General, the soldiers who left our side found a large number of corpses several thousand li away!"
Mu Cang Lan suddenly stood up. "Corpses? And a large number?! "
"Yes. Just the group we found had seven to eight thousand people. Even the women and children were not spared. They all died at their hands. "
"Yes, General Mu. We also found them here. However, that area is already tightly sealed off by the enemy. We have no way to investigate further … We don't know how many people died. "
"That's right. We also have a similar situation on our side."
Mu Cang Lan sat down dejectedly.
Who would have thought that those people would abandon them and go to their deaths. Furthermore … it was very likely that they would be captured without putting up a fight!
He really didn't think that Yuan Tianming would be so merciless towards people who betrayed him! He himself had once made a promise before. 'Those who realize their mistakes and turn back will be reinstated, and no punishment will be meted out. They actually didn't abide by it at all!
At this moment, this sentence was a complete joke.
He didn't even plan to let these people turn around and attack him. He just executed them all!
"Right now, everyone is scolding us for being hypocrites. Since we let them go, we chased them down and killed them all …"
The scout who said this had a face full of anger. The veins on his forehead were throbbing.
Because everyone knew that this matter was definitely not done by the Heavenly Armament Pavilion.
Ever since those people left that day, the Heavenly Armament Pavilion had been heavily surrounded. Even when they went out to scout for information, they had to be careful. They didn't dare to act rashly, for fear of being caught carelessly and affecting the overall situation. What's more, they killed their former comrades on such a large scale?
What's more, it was such a scattered massacre?
But now, this basin of dirty water had been ridiculously splashed onto the innocent people.
Mu Cang Lan let out a long sigh, his expression extremely sorrowful. "Those people who left either didn't know the truth, or they had other plans, so they left us. But in essence, those people were loyal and righteous people! Most of the original intentions of their uprising were still only to repay Mo Yuntian and quell the demon disaster. Who would have thought that Yuan Tianzhi would actually go back on his word and kill them all without any sense of morality. He truly has the ambition of a wolf. "
At this point, he only felt an indescribable pain in his heart. He couldn't control himself.
All the generals fell into silence.
When those people left, they were filled with hatred and resentment. Many of them even fought and cursed loudly because of that.
But now, after hearing the grievous news, there was no longer any hatred in their hearts. There was only sadness and anger!
The most tragic thing in life was to be deceived and deceived by the strange races. After serving them for so many years, they still died unjustly. Even until death, they didn't know the truth.
They were kept in the dark from beginning to end.
And those people who left could be said to be the true portrayal of this situation!
The dawn of the day finally arrived amidst an unusually depressing atmosphere.
"Reporting, the enemy is already within three hundred li of the main camp!"
"Reporting, the enemy is less than a hundred li away from the main camp!"
"Reporting, the enemy is about fifty li away from the main camp!"
"Reporting … the enemy has begun to set up camp."
Only when the enemy was fifty li away from the main camp did Mu Cang Lan finally make a new move. He silently sent out a large army, directly behind him, as if he wanted to break out of the encirclement. All of his men and horses began to madly attack the army behind him!
The effect of this wave of attacks was very obvious.
The army in the attack range had a total of four to five hundred thousand men and horses, and they were stunned on the spot. The general leading this army was originally Mu Cang Lan's subordinate. The reason why he chose this side to attack was because Mu Cang Lan had a deep understanding of him.
The leader of the army was brave and fierce, but his planning was lacking. Every time the army set up camp during a long journey, it was his greatest weakness.
Often, at this time, the entire army would fall into a certain state of chaos. They would need a buffer time to reorganize and reorganize.
And Mu Cang Lan had chosen this time to attack. It could be said that he had hit the weak spot.
When Yuan Tianjie's army received the news of the attack, the battle here had already reached its end. Mu Cang Lan's army had already retreated.
All that was left were poisonous traps all over the place.
In the first wave of contact, Mu Cang Lan's side could be said to have obtained a complete victory!
But the other side clearly didn't care much about this setback. They didn't even say anything. That night, they quietly set up camp, burying pots and cooking rice. It was an unprecedented tranquility, as if nothing had happened.
Xie Danqiong's army had originally wanted to wait for an opportunity to attack. He wanted to take advantage of the enemy's unstable situation to catch them off guard.
If the other side launched a large-scale rescue operation, then he could follow the strategy that he had long planned and deal a heavy blow to the enemy. This would make this battle a good start and further raise his own morale.
At the very least, he could add an indelible lesson to Yuan Tianjie's side. The battle situation would no longer be one-sided.
But Xie Danqiong didn't expect that the other side would hold back and only send out tens of thousands of reinforcements symbolically. The headquarters was abnormally calm and almost didn't move at all.
In the face of such a battle, only sending out tens of thousands of reinforcements … It didn't seem like a rescue operation at all. It couldn't even be considered half-hearted. It was like sending people to collect corpses.
Xie Danqiong waved his hand and stopped this operation. His face was solemn as he said, "Fight steadily and surely!"
The other side's calmness was beyond his expectations. If he forced himself to attack, it would only lead to the opposite result.
A very bad premonition welled up in Xie Dan Qiong's heart.
