Liu Hong was a Flying Void Expert in the Blood-Knife City. He had been in contact with Zhao Hai before. When Zhao Hai went to the Blood-Knife City, Liu Hong met Zhao Hai. However, he didn't fight alongside Zhao Hai.
This was the first time that he fought alongside Zhao Hai. He came to the Yalong City as a reinforcement. When he arrived, he first participated in the mission to deal with the Clan Alliance. Then he followed the army to the front line.
Today, he was sent out for reconnaissance. After thinking about this, Liu Hong couldn't help but look at his clothes. He was currently wearing ordinary clothes made of coarse cloth. They looked very shabby, just like what a peasant would wear. This was the first time that Liu Hong wore such clothes. Although he didn't like it, it was Zhao Hai's request. Therefore, he didn't dare to say anything.
Liu Hong looked at the sky. The sky was gloomy, it looked like it was going to rain. Liu Hong couldn't help but frown. Then his figure moved as he ran forward. His speed was very fast. If one looked carefully, they would see that he was flying, not running.
Liu Hong had already memorized the route of his trip. He knew that his goal this time was the fifth road. This road was called the Wind and Thunder Road by the people of the Yalong City.
However, it wasn't easy for him to reach the Wind and Thunder Official Road. This was because he had to go around the enemy's camp without being discovered. Because of this, he had to take a long detour. Because of this, it would take him at least two days to reach the Wind and Thunder Official Road. And this was assuming that there weren't any accidents. He had to rely on flying to get there.
Liu Hong's speed was very fast. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been sent out as a scout. Liu Hong was very confident in his speed, but he was still very careful. He knew that he could encounter an attack from the Sacred Court at any time. If he wasn't careful, then he would be discovered by the 'Holy' character. At that time, he would be in real danger. Liu Hong's speed was very fast, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to escape.
After flying for the whole morning, Liu Hong found a place to rest in the woods. He took out some dry food and ate it. The dry food he brought with him wasn't military rations, nor was it meat. Instead, it was the flatbread that the farmers brought with them when they went out. This kind of dry food didn't have any taste, so it wasn't very good to eat. But this time, Zhao had them bring only this kind of dry food. He didn't let them bring any other kind of dry food. Zhao was afraid that other people would find out about their identities from the dry food, so he only brought them this kind of dry food.
Liu Hong didn't say anything, it wasn't like he couldn't endure this kind of hardship. He casually ate some food and drank some water. After resting for a while, he continued to fly forward. This time, after flying for about an hour, he suddenly heard voices. Liu Hong stared, then his expression changed. He immediately stopped and listened carefully. Sure enough, he heard voices in the woods. The voices were very low, but they were indeed voices.
Liu Hong slowly snuck towards the direction of the sound. Soon, a small camp appeared in front of him. This camp was very small. There were only about a hundred people in the camp. All of them were soldiers wearing armor. There was only one ballista in the camp. However, there was a very large copper horn on top of the ballista.
Upon seeing the bronze horn, Liu Hong's eyes narrowed. He recognized this bronze horn, it's the Thousand Mile Horn. According to legend, once the horn is blown, it can be heard for thousands of miles. It was the best thing for warning people.
Upon seeing this small camp, Liu Hong immediately understood that this camp must have been set up by the Sacred Academy. They set up this camp in order to keep watch. This small camp wasn't very big, moreover, they didn't cut down the trees. If one was in the sky, then it wouldn't be easy to find this small camp. Because of this, this place was definitely an observation post. As long as a Sky Dance Expert flies by, if it wasn't someone from the Sacred Academy, then they would immediately send a message to the main camp. The main camp would then know that a Sky Dance Expert had infiltrated their rear.
Liu Hong carefully looked at the camp. Before long, he found two hidden sentries on two tall trees. These two sentries were obviously used to observe the sky. Upon seeing this, Liu Hong couldn't help but feel relieved. At the same time, he admired Zhao Hai even more. Zhao Hai had repeatedly warned them that they must move on the ground, they must not fly. Although this would waste some time, it was actually safer. At first, they didn't think much of it. But now, after seeing this observation post, Liu Hong was completely convinced.
Liu Hong didn't touch this observation post. Although he was confident that he could kill the other party before they blew the horn, Zhao Hai didn't allow them to do so. This was because this observation post was very likely to contact the Sacred Academy's main camp every once in a while. If he killed these people, then the other side would be very likely to know about it. This would only bring harm to their operation.
Liu Hong glanced at the sentry post, then he gave up the sentry post's position and left directly. But this way, he became more careful, and his speed naturally slowed down.
At this time, Zhao Hai and the others began to carry out their plan. They were preparing to leave the city tonight and harass the Sacred Academy's main camp. At the same time, they would dig some small pits. In other words, they would destroy the ground.
Zhao Hai stood on the city wall and looked at the Holy Academy's camp. Then he smiled faintly and said, "These fellows are really calm. Alright, we don't need to worry. Tonight's harassment will continue, but don't go too far. Right, what about the wooden planks that I asked you to prepare?" Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, we're not in a hurry. Tonight's harassment will continue, but don't go too far.
Zhao Hai asked the people next to him. These people were the generals of the other city-states. When they heard Zhao Hai, they quickly replied, "Reporting to the Alliance Lord, we haven't prepared them yet. The bamboo spears that you told us about aren't ready, but the planks are almost ready."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Don't worry, take your time. Prepare the things that I told you about. Right, there are also bags and baskets. Make sure to prepare more of them."
The generals nodded. One of them looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Alliance Lord, what are we going to do with these things? What are they used for? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "They're very useful. Are we going to dig a pit? And dig a trench. What do you think if we make a trap out of that trench for him? "
When the group heard Zhao Hai, they stared for a moment before their eyes lit up. They immediately understood what Zhao Hai meant. Then one of the generals said, "That should be enough for those fellows from the Holy Academy. I understand. Alliance Lord, you want to bring all the soil back so that they wouldn't be able to find the trench, right?" Zhao Hai nodded, then he looked at the group and said, "That should be enough for those fellows from the Holy Academy.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Right, that's what I meant."
The generals nodded. Their army was very large. If they want to dig a trench, then one night would be enough. As long as the arrangement is good, it wouldn't be a problem for them to make a trap.
Zhao Hai said, "Have you prepared the things that I told you? Those things will be used tonight. "
The generals nodded. Then one of them said, "It's all ready. Horns, drums, gongs, everything is ready. Moreover, half of the soldiers have already gone to rest. We're preparing for the operation tonight."
Zhao Hai nodded. Then he looked at the Sacred Institute's camp and said, "The Sacred Institute wants to rest for a few days. How can that be? Why didn't they let us rest when they were attacking us? Today, I want them to understand that war isn't necessarily about killing the enemy. War can be carried out in many ways."
Several people looked at Zhao with admiration. They had never thought of such a method before. They just wanted to make noise so that the enemy wouldn't be able to rest. If the enemy didn't dare to rest, then the next day, the enemy wouldn't be able to attack. They were afraid that in a few days, the enemy would collapse.
Time passed by little by little. Soon, the sky turned dark. And today was a cloudy day. There were no stars in the sky, nor was there a moon. All the plants around the battlefield had been cleared. Therefore, aside from Zhao Hai's city and the Sacred Institute's camp, the rest of the battlefield was pitch black.
Zhao Hai wasn't in a hurry. First, he had the soldiers prepare for tonight's operation. Then he had them take the things that they needed. As for the problem of the soldiers' night blindness, Zhao Hai had already solved it. He had prepared some plant leaves that could emit a faint light at night. Because the people of the Spirit Weapon Realm lived in dark places all year round, as long as there was a little bit of light, they would be able to see their surroundings. It can be said that their night blindness was something that didn't exist in other realms.
After the sky turned dark, Zhao Hai gave the order to leave the city. This time, he personally led the troops. The group went out of the city's left gate and then went straight to the Sacred Institute's camp. The camp was brightly lit, so they didn't need to worry about going the wrong way.
When they were a few li away from the enemy camp, Zhao Hai had everyone stop. Then he waved his hand as battle cries were heard from the army behind him. At the same time, the sound of gongs, drums, and horns could be heard. This sound spread far and wide in the night. When the enemy camp heard this sound, chaos immediately broke out. Zhao Hai and the others could clearly see that the camp was in chaos. Groups of disheveled soldiers ran out of their tents. They didn't have any weapons. After coming out of their tents, they ran around in panic. This made the entire camp even more chaotic. If it weren't for the calm of some officers, the camp would have already exploded.
Upon seeing this situation, Zhao Hai immediately waved his hand again. The battle cries immediately disappeared, leaving the camp in silence. From the moment the battle cries appeared until now, the Sacred Institute's camp was also strangely quiet. The soldiers who were running around also stopped. However, they were still looking around anxiously. However, they could only see what was happening in their own camp, they couldn't see anything outside.
Although the Sacred Institute's camp was quiet, the soldiers were even more afraid. This was because they didn't know when the enemy in the dark would come out. This made them even more restless.
The officers of the Sacred Institute's camp immediately drove the soldiers back to their tents. However, they didn't dare to send people out to check. This was because they were afraid that this was Zhao Hai's trick. If they went out to check and got ambushed by Zhao Hai, then what would they do? Therefore, they didn't send people out to check, they just drove the soldiers back to their tents.
Zhao Hai and the others used this time to dig holes in the ground. After the Sacred Institute's camp was completely quiet, Zhao Hai and the others began another round of battle cries. This caused the Sacred Institute's camp to be in chaos. After the Sacred Institute's camp was in chaos, Zhao Hai and the others immediately calmed down. When the Sacred Institute's soldiers entered their tents and were about to fall asleep, Zhao Hai and the others began to shout again.
After the third round of battle cries, Zhao Hai waved his hand and retreated with the army. He knew that after these three rounds of battle cries, the Sacred Institute's army wouldn't be able to rest. Their goal had already been achieved.
Sure enough, Zhao Hai and the others returned to the city. However, the Sacred Institute's soldiers didn't dare to fall asleep. Each and every one of them was on tenterhooks until dawn. When they were about to fall asleep, it was also time for them to get up. They listlessly got up and went outside to eat something. After that, they immediately fell asleep.
When the Sacred Institute's people saw this situation, they couldn't help but feel hatred in their hearts. However, they also knew that they couldn't let the soldiers attack. The soldiers simply couldn't attack, they couldn't even carry out normal training. Therefore, they ordered the soldiers to rest.
But just as they ordered the soldiers to rest, they discovered that Zhao Hai and the others had opened the city gates. Then a group of soldiers came out of the city. When the Sacred Institute's people saw this, they couldn't help but feel hatred. However, they could only wake up the soldiers who were about to fall asleep and make them stay alert. They didn't need to think about going out to meet the enemy, they should be able to defend the camp.
However, they discovered that Zhao Hai and the others didn't attack the camp. Instead, they dug small pits on the ground. These pits might not be big, but when they saw the density of the pits, they immediately understood why Zhao Hai did this. With these pits, the speed of the siege would be slowed down by several times. The speed of the soldiers rushing to the city would also be slowed down. And in this period of time, the ballistas in the city would be able to attack them several times.
However, the Sacred Institute's people couldn't do anything. With the state of the soldiers in the camp, they simply couldn't go out to attack. They could only watch as Zhao Hai and the others dug pits. This feeling was very unpleasant.
