Rebirth of the Stars

　　 After nearly a night of discussions among the senior officials of the "Xiuyuan City", they unanimously decided to give it a try.

　　 The soldiers are very fast. Therefore, when the two waves of scouts sent back the same information, Fan Xiu no longer waited for repeated confirmations from subsequent scouts. At the end of the morning the next day after receiving the information, he quietly organized the army to lead 8000 Zhengzu and 5000. A total of 13,000 people from the city-defense and logistics mixed forces marched hurriedly toward the planned ambush site thousands or two hundred miles away in the dark.

　　 Tell me about the time here. As mentioned earlier, the general qualities of the creatures of both the Nieno continent and the stars are very strong, and it is normal to walk two or three hundred miles a day. The marching speed of the city-state army's short-legged infantry is basically about eighty miles an hour. Twelve earthly branches in the four crowns a day. Normally, except for mid-course meals and rest, the troops probably marched less than five to six hours a day when they marched to the two crowns. Nearly more than four hundred miles and close to five hundred miles away.

　　 "Iron Zhicheng" and "Xiuyuan City" are not adjacent to each other, and there are several small city-states belonging to other alliances and town-level or even village-level miscellaneous fish city-states that have not joined any alliances. The distance between each other is about seven thousand miles.

　　According to the normal infantry marching speed, it would take about fifteen days, that is, half a month. Coupled with the influence of the intermediate terrain, it would take about 20 to 25 days to reach the "Xiuyuan City" after borrowing from other alliance city-states.

　　 Of course, the cavalry speed is at least halved, which is about ten to twelve days. Taking into account that some terrain is not conducive to the passage of the siege behemoth, some normal cavalry requires the siege behemoth to open the way to pass smoothly, so the calculation that arrived five to six days earlier can be said to be accurate.

　　 The location of the ambush planned by "Xiuyuan City" was two hundred miles in front of the Luotu River Dam in a gorge called "Sanchi Gorge".

　　 "San Chi Gorge" naturally does not mean that the canyon is only three feet wide, but refers to the narrow gorge, "only three feet in the radius".

　　 Some large canyons are basically more than one hundred feet wide, while the width of the "Sanchi Gorge" is only thirty feet. The normal cavalry marching is enough for ten people to travel, but for the huge size of the siege beast, it can only pass one by one with one head. And can only turn around, it can be said to be restricted.

　　 The twenty-mile-long "San Chi Gorge" is only thirty feet wide, but it has a height of one hundred feet. Although it is relatively steep, it is still conducive to the arrangement, which can be said to be a natural ambush terrain.

　　 "Xiuyuan City" is the cavalry unit that intends to ambush "Iron Zhicheng" here.

Although all the soldiers who saw the terrain of the "Three Chi Gorge" knew that this was a natural ambush site, even if they knew Fan Xiu, they believed that the army of the "Iron Zhicheng" would step in, because the "San Chi Gorge" was from The "Tiezhicheng" direction is the only way to attack the "Xiuyuan City".

　　 Hundred and fifty miles behind the "Sanchi" Gorge is the topography of the valley wetland under the Luotu River Dam. Once the two hundred miles downstream of the Luotu River dam is dug up, it will instantly become Zeguo.

　　 Although the means of digging the dam to divert floods can easily cause the consequences of life, but fortunately there are not many villages in the lower reaches of the Luotu River Dam. Moreover, a few villages have temporarily left because of the upcoming war.

　　 "Xiuyuan City" had a lot of contacts with these river valley villages in the past, so in moral justice told the other side the news that this piece may become a battlefield. Therefore, the residents of these villages have basically sought refuge in nearby city-states.

Between the topography of the 　　 river valley and the "Sanchi Gorge" is a forest covering an area of ​​hundreds of miles. The narrow forest roads and dense forests are not conducive to the passage of cavalry. The cavalry units of the "Iron Child City" can only pass on a large scale when the road is opened by the behemoths of the city.

　　 Gorge Road, dense forests, and river valleys formed the core of the "Xiuyuan City" ambush. The "Three Chi Gorge" ambush can completely wipe out the "Iron Zhicheng" cavalry and siege troops. It is naturally the most ideal result. Even if it fails, it can rely on the buffer of the dense forest to evacuate quickly. After leaving the dense forest, the Luotu River Dam can be completely blocked. Cut off the enemy's pursuit of the "Iron Child City", leaving enough time for the subsequent retreat and defense. To know the terrain of the Erotu River Valley, even a behemoth such as a siege behemoth would be difficult to move in the valley that became Ze Kingdom. The troops of "Iron Zhicheng" can only choose a detour if they want to pass. And the next place where large troops can pass is Dingling Road, 1,500 miles away from the lower reaches of the Luotu River.

　　 But how do you say? Although everyone in "Xiuyuan City" had used everything to calculate this battle, they did not calculate that "Iron Child City" really used the 5,000 strong army as bait.

　　 From the moment Fan Xiu led the troops out of the city, "Xiuyuan City" had completely fallen into the calculations of "Iron Baby City".

　　 Ambush is indeed a good idea, not only for everyone in "Xiuyuan City," it is also true for "Iron Zhicheng" who wants to take down "Xiuyuan City" without damage.

　　 So, when the army of "Xiuyuan City" planned to ambush was approaching the location of the "San Chi Gorge" ambush, they were counter-ambushed by "Iron Zhicheng".

　　 was ambushed at the junction of the Luotu River Valley and the dense forest.

　　 In his memory, Fan Xiu still can't figure out how all this happened. Ning Yuan deduced the "Yaoyan" based on the information in his memory, but he had some relatively reliable guesses.

　　 Before the war with the "Xiuyuan City" was announced, the "Tiezhicheng" had already dispersed and transported quite a few veterans to the surrounding city-states of "Xiuyuan City" through various means.

Oh, right. In order to start a war between the city-states of the Nieno continent, it is necessary to inform them through rules. After the announcement, both parties have a three-day buffer period.

Take the current war as an example. After the "Tiezhicheng" issued a war announcement to the "Xiuyuan City", all residents of the other side's household registration in the other city will be directly sent back to their respective cities, and the Dunjiamen between the two sides will also be blockade.

　　 Within three days, "Xiuyuan City" can ask allies for help and conduct war mobilization, or request a third party to conduct war mediation.

　　 As the offensive "Iron Child City", of course, all this was done before the announcement of the war was issued. It's just that within three days of the buffer period, the offensive army cannot enter the attacked city within a thousand miles.

　　 So even if the two sides of the war are very close, no one can do it during the three-day buffer period.

　　 Of course, sneak attacks and undeclared warfare are also common in the Nieno continent, but that requires certain conditions to be launched. I won't be tired of it here.

Before the announcement of the war, the "Tiezhicheng" had already sent about 20,000 troops of various arms to the "Xiuyuan City" thousands of miles away by secret means. After the announcement of the war, they secretly gathered and hid in the river valley. In the dense forest outside.

　　 It can be said that it is very simple to hide 20,000 people in the dense forest of Baili. Unless you know it in advance and investigate it purposefully, it will be difficult for even a professional scout to find it.

After hiding the 20,000 ambush troops, "Iron Zhicheng" used 50,000 attacking troops on the surface, including four desperate special troops, to attract the attention of everyone in "Xiuyuan City", and "Xiuyuan City" After being forced into the desperate state of collapse, he used the psychology of everyone in the "Xiuyuan City" to place a pocket.

This pocket is the "Iron Child City" that Fan Xiu and others didn't believe that it actually used a full 5,000 strong army to lure "Xiuyuan City" to send troops, and it included enough bait to destroy "Xiuyuan City". The two professional destroyers of the city.

　　 "Iron Child City" deliberately caused the 5000 cavalry unit to be completely disconnected from the rear infantry unit, including the large-scale spear-making unit capable of mass destruction and field control, and the wood spirit unit.

　　 Although the out-of-line forward force possessed the danger level enough to destroy "Xiuyuan City", it also gave "Xiuyuan City" a ray of hope in the realm of death. In particular, the purpose of the "Qin" Alliance determines that it will not abandon any city-state under its command, and will definitely send reinforcements as quickly as possible. On the only way to "Iron Zhicheng" and "Xiuyuan City", there are excellent terrains that can be used to ambush and delay time.

This is almost destined that "Xiuyuan City" will definitely choose to take the initiative after seeing "hope", and for behemoths like Siege Behemoths and infantry killers like cavalry, only "San Chi Gorge" is the best. Ambush terrain.

　　 Now that it has been determined where the "Xiuyuan City" will be located, it is self-explanatory where the pocket sheet is suitable.

　　 Therefore, when Fan Xiu led the troops to enter the dense forest just after passing the river beach and going to rest, 20000 ambush soldiers from the "Iron Baby City" showed their "fangs" in the dense forest.

　　 A dense rain of arrows shot from the edge of the dense forest and directly stunned the "Xiuyuan Army" who had just planned to bury the pot for cooking.

　　The "Iron Zhicheng" infantry who rushed out of the forest in large numbers immediately horrified the "Xiuyuan Army" who were mostly new recruits.

　　 Then everything happened naturally.

　　 The morale of the "Xiuyuan Army" collapsed less than a quarter of an hour after receiving the battle. The soldiers in the front began to rout, and the soldiers in the rear began to rout directly, and then the entire army collapsed and collapsed. In the end is the crash and escape.

　　 Fan Xiu, as the lord and general of the "Xiuyuan City", also did not escape the fate of being engulfed and fleeing.

After chasing and fleeing all the way, when there were more than 300 miles away from "Xiuyuan City", I finally got rid of the chasing troops of "Iron Zhicheng" temporarily, and then gathered the troops all the way, and finally left the "Xiuyuan City". "The lieutenant in the abandoned camp for more than two hundred miles gathered all the rest of the defeated army.

　　 The original army of more than 12,000 is now only less than 3,000. Except for 500 guards, there are less than 800 veterans who are barely able to fight. The rest are all new recruits who have been temporarily abandoned.

　　 And now the exhausted troops just took a rest for less than an hour, and the chasing troops of "Iron Zhicheng" caught up again.

　　 In the darkness, the light of the bright light rod illuminates the position of Zhang Xu in front of Ning Yuan. With the light source, Ning Yuan silently groped in the narrow crevices of the mountain, always paying attention to the gravel protruding under his feet.

　　 Not far behind, the thin, black man Zi Scar propped his left hand on the mountain wall, and his right hand was holding the already wound small one-armed crossbow firmly against Ning Yuan's vest.

At a distance of a few minutes behind Zi Scar, the thin scar is steadily and lightly stepping on the messy gravel as if it is weightless, with his ears close to the mountain wall, tapping his fingers at the same time, making a crisp sound, the sound is As the mountain wall continues to extend to the distance and echo.

"There is indeed no trace of the activities of monsters. It seems that it is really a legacy from the predecessors." Scar's ears listened for a while, and he raised his eyes to stare at the staggering forward Ning Yuan and muttered thoughtfully. Immediately, he made a secret gesture to the man holding the Mingguang stick behind him.

　　 The men who followed him nodded insignificantly, and passed the information back.

　　 Not long afterward, news came from the scar where he was walking carefully on the inside of the mountain crevice.

　　'S hands approached the thin scar carefully, and replied with his ears:

"The boss said that although this kid has a bad personality, he will definitely not be reconciled. It is estimated that he only said half of a lot of things. Let you stare at it temporarily and confirm that there is no danger, and then wait until you get something. In addition, the boss is because of the system oath. You can’t do it, let you make an accident after you get something."

　　 The thin scar nodded slightly, and moved forward lightly.

　　 The turn is just ahead, and if the opponent is struggling, it should start.

　　 These aborigines never underestimate players, even if they have only just appeared for a few days.

　　 But to the surprise of Scar, the other party didn't seem to be struggling. Instead, he was honestly waiting for the scar at the corner.

　　 "Isn't it here?" Scary watched the two turn the corner, and the darkness began to fall in front of him. He was a little confused or disappointed in his heart and secretly said: "Is it really giving up?"

　　 Ning Yuan didn't know what the thin scars behind him thought. He just waited silently for Zi Scar to get close behind him, and then stepped into the corner with his front foot under the gaze of Zi Scar. Then he stopped for a while not far in front, and then continued to fumble after the Scar had also stepped over the corner.

　　 stepped on three corners in a row, it was like this, which made Xiao Scar a little disappointed and a little relaxed.

　　 Seeing that Ning Yuan cooperated so well, even the right arm of the one-handed crossbow in front of Zi Scar did not relax.

　　 Seeing such a situation, Scar's eyes narrowed, and he secretly guessed with some excitement in his heart:

　　 "Maybe this is his purpose."

　　 However, until the passage between the mountain walls began to widen, Ning Yuan did not do anything special, which made Scarlet feel disappointed again.

　　 "It seems that I really gave up." Scarlet said to himself in a low mood unconsciously.

　　 After the passage was so wide that the huge Scar could straighten up and move slightly, the Scar was completely disappointed, and the expression in Ning Yuan's eyes unconsciously gave a slight expression of contempt.

　　 is not only a thin scar, but also everyone else. A little man walking further back even muttered in a low voice: "I have lost all of the players' faces, and I'm still shining, bah."

　　 The scar at the end frowned and looked at Ning Yuan, who was leading the way honestly and silently through the gradually wider passage, unconsciously grasping the iron bow with his right hand.

　　 "It's not right. Although this kid has always been very soft, but the limited two times proved that the other party has enough courage to work hard. Do you really think that the restraint of a systematic vow is safe? So it is completely soft?"

　　 Sword Scar secretly cursed: "This kid isn't that stupid, right? It's impossible for someone who can stay in the Dragon Blood Forest for ten days and die only once to cooperate like this?"

Yes it is. Since knowing that Ning Yuan has been in the Dragon Blood Forest for nearly ten days, Scar has maintained the most basic vigilance against Ning Yuan. An ordinary person who has not practiced has to stay for ten days in such a completely unfamiliar place, and he is still a beast. During the time when the tide is about to rise, it is impossible to be an ordinary person no matter what. Therefore, even if the opponent behaves more softly, the preparation that Scar should do is still done.

　　 "If he had been disguised up to now, where would his killer be? The unreliable memory of Huang Sheng is well known. And the other party has also taken a systematic oath. Is there a test of chance?"

　　 "That's right, most of the legacy of the predecessors will be tested, not to mention the legacy of the former that can let people have the city's heart under the protection of rules."

　　 Although the person is rough and the voice is rough, the mind of being the leader of a team is still very active. To survive in the spiritual world that eats people without spitting out bones, you can't live long without a little brain.

　　 But no matter how much Scar thinks, he can't figure it out.

　　 That is, even if there is a test, why does that kid think that a mortal who hasn't practiced can pass, and their group of husband-level and soldier-level practitioners will fail.

　　After thinking about it, Scar can only temporarily think that the other party really gave up.

　　 But did Ning Yuan really give up?

　　 The answer is of course, no.

　　 What Ningyuan said under the system oath in front of the entrance, the first half and the second half are true. .

　　 There is nothing wrong with the first half of the sentence. Ning Yuan does not know the details of the exercises and the city's heart formation. Because he didn't get those things in the realm line, and the difference in the realm line is actually uncertain in many aspects.

　　 As for the second half of the sentence, I did not lie either. However, Ning Yuan missed a few words and secretly changed the concept. Memory and boundary line memory are not the same concept. Part of Ning Yuan's memory is indeed blurred, but it is not the memory of the boundary line, but the memory of the last death. This is a side effect of the "Xizhao" ability, and Ning Yuan has no good solutions for the time being.
