Back Off, Let Me Come

"It has been deployed a long time ago, but..." Wu Xian hesitated for a moment and continued, "If the enemy is really like Gong Su, this level of military formation will not be able to confuse the enemy. There is too little intelligence."

Qin Li's [Cloudy Sky and Fog Land] has the ability to conduct high-altitude aerial reconnaissance. Although ordinary elite Wudan scouts can reach the same reconnaissance altitude, they cannot be as free and casual as Qin Li.

Especially at times like this, the more precious and reliable Qin Li appears.

Bai Su's brows never relaxed.

With the arrival of the main force, the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted.

It was not yet nightfall, but the mountains in the distance were already covered by clouds.

Bai Su found that the surrounding terrain was different from what she knew. Wu Xian opened the map and pointed to the direction of the mountains and said, "...More than 30 years ago, this place was under the jurisdiction of a small country. Later, brothers quarreled and the princes rebelled, so they divided the river and ruled. The place under our feet was originally a wasteland, and later the mountains were moved 20 to 30 miles east."

Moving eastwards, the mountains create natural barriers.

The natural barrier here also tightly controls the pass.

If you want to fight your way out, you must pass through the mountains.

Wu Xian's side is low, while the mountains are high. The terrain difference between the two places is huge, which is one of the main reasons why scouts have difficulty in reconnaissance. Our geographical location is too disadvantageous, and others have an innate advantage of overlooking. Bai Su raised her head slightly and looked at the mountains in the distance.

"Moved twenty or thirty miles east?"

It's not just moving a mountain, but a group of mountains?

The Chaoli Pass, a man-made natural barrier of the same size, was also remodeled by the 20th-rank Che Hou himself, but it only exists in legends. In reality, it is impossible for Che Hou to do it alone. Where did the "small country" mentioned by Wu Xian get so many manpower?

Wu Xian said: "There is another theory."

"What do you mean?"

Wu Xian said: "These mountains will move on their own."

To put it in a more shocking way, this mountain is alive. It has moved 20 to 30 miles eastward over the past few decades by its own efforts. Bai Su almost thought Wu Xian was teasing her: "A mountain that can move by itself? Lord Guo means that this mountain has cultivated into a monster?"

Wu Xian jokingly said, "It's possible."

There are so many strange things in this world that it is not surprising to see them all. Without mentioning other things, it is just that when a Wudan warrior reaches a certain level of cultivation, he can transform into his own Wudan totem, changing from a human to an animal/plant. This is very scary, and in a sense, it can also be regarded as a spirit.

Wu Xian continued to joke, "In the past, spirits were transformed into humans, but now, warriors are transformed into plants and animals. It's just the reverse order, but the essence is still the same. Maybe the mountains really gave birth to mountain ghosts, and they ran away when people weren't paying attention."

Bai Su: “…”

There is no time for jokes when we are facing a powerful enemy.

Seeing her cold face and not being amused at all, Wu Xian secretly criticized the "Stone Beauty" in his heart: "I also got this rumor from a woodcutter. The woodcutter's ancestors lived at the foot of the mountain and made a living by cutting wood for generations. Gradually, he found that it took less and less time to go into the mountain, and the distance between the two places was getting shorter and shorter, so he realized something was wrong."

Especially when I woke up one morning.

The mountain, which was originally far away, suddenly appeared right next to the village.

The villagers were terrified and fled in all directions, moving their families to other places, fearing that they would be eaten by the mountain if they stayed there for another year or two.

Of course, the above is just one of many strange stories.

Bai Su closed her eyes: "Playing tricks."

There are many similar methods used in marching and fighting to disrupt the enemy's judgment.

She said, "Order our troops to rest and move at night."

Wu Xian didn't expect Bai Su to be so anxious right away. He was a little worried that she was too eager for quick success, so he said tactfully, "The enemy is still silent, and the general must be exhausted after traveling all the way. Why don't you rest for a day or two and get enough rest first?"

It's not that Wu Xian is timid, but he thinks the enemy is too sneaky and it's easy to fall into a trap if he's not careful. He doesn't care whether Bai Su lives or dies, but he can't ignore Shen Youli's attention to Bai Su, and can't ignore Bai Su's secret relationship with Gu Chi. If Bai Su gets into trouble, he won't have a good life in the future: "What do you think, General?"

Bai Su said: "Nothing."

Wu Xian: “…”

Wu Xian could tolerate being insulted like this, but his deputy generals could not tolerate it either. They felt that Bai Su was just as arrogant and unkind as the rumors said. No matter how capable she was, would she lose a piece of meat if she listened to other people's advice? Why was she so cold and sarcastic?

Just when the deputy general was feeling resentful, he could only suppress his displeasure when he saw Wu Xian's warning look. The commander of this army is not Wu Xian, and the most important thing for a military commander is to obey military orders. If the war goes well, it is because the commander is good at commanding, and if the war goes badly, it is also because the commander is to blame. Keep this in mind and keep a calm mind.

Bai Su secretly noticed the exchange of glances between the two.

Special explanation: "You probably haven't seen the stars recently?"

Wu Xian recalled carefully: "I hardly saw it."

"The mountains beneath our feet may be changed, but the stars above our heads cannot be changed by human power. If the enemy only wants to collect our intelligence, a few days would be enough. Why go to so much trouble and do this every day? This means that there is something they want to hide here."

If ground positioning doesn’t work, star positioning is different.

Is it simply an illusion, or is the mountain changing?

If it is the former, just break the formation.

If it is the latter, the culprit must be found.

Bai Su's guess might not be correct, so she needed to investigate in person. Wu Xian did not stop her when he heard this, and ordered to prepare wine and food for her to enjoy so that she could have enough food and drink and regain her energy. Soon, the waning moon disappeared into the thick clouds, and Bai Su was ready. She ordered three small elite troops to enter the mountain at the same time, and tied hemp ropes at the entrance to the mountain, so that they could retreat if anything went wrong.

Wu Xian also sent one of his own people to take charge of one of the teams.

"Which one will the General follow?"

Bai Su pointed to the top of her head and said, "Let our people attract attention on the ground. My Lord, stay here and I will go up to the sky to check."

Wu Xian looked up at the thick clouds.

If you remember correctly -

"The general's Wudan totem seems to be not good at flying?"

Without the assistance of the Wudan totem, Wudan warriors can only rely on their own martial energy to maintain body temperature and breathing if they want to stay in the air, which consumes a lot of martial energy. Most of the time, Wudan warriors who don't have a bird totem fight in the air just for show, commonly known as pretending to be cool.

Unexpectedly, Bai Su left a sentence: "The sea of ​​clouds is also the sea."

It was not until she rode away that Wu Xian reacted and uttered after a long pause: "Why didn't she say that the Milky Way is also a river?"

Isn't this just pure cheating?

Because of the terrain, it was difficult to hide their actions from the enemy, so Wu Xian simply stopped being sneaky and ordered his soldiers to light torches and march into the mountain. One end of the hemp rope was tied to a huge rock at the foot of the mountain, and the rest of the people entered the mountain, marking every hundred steps.

The deputy general had already arranged for defense to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, and came back to report: "My Lord, everything is ready. But I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not--"

"explain!"

"Isn't this General Bai being too arrogant?"

Wu Xian asked, "Why do you care so much about others?"

The deputy general was still unhappy: "Before..."

"You're talking about the past. In the past, there weren't so many tricks in wars?" Wu Xian deliberately misinterpreted the deputy general's words. He knew why the deputy general was unhappy. It was nothing more than that he felt that Bai Su was too young to give face to the old general. On the battlefield, victory is the final word, not seniority. Besides, how can being a lord be the same as being a general?

As long as Bai Su can win the battle——

She can do whatever she wants.

The deputy general looked up at the thick dark clouds above his head and said a few words from his heart: "My Lord, I am also worried that something bad might happen to the general and that I might implicate you..."

If we divide the circle based on the closeness to the king, Bai Su is definitely the king's closest confidant. People like Wu Xian, who "became defeated and became his subordinates", cannot compare to him. If there is a conflict in daily life, you should take the initiative to avoid the sharp edge and not confront it head-on.

Wu Xian warned, "You talk too much today."

The deputy general heard the displeasure in Wu Xian's words and shut up.

Every once in a while, a soldier would pull the hemp rope. If the other end of the rope sensed something, he would pull it in response. If there was no response or the rope broke, he would know that something had happened in the mountains.

Wu Xian held his breath for a while.

Suddenly, the night wind whistled past my ears, and there was a faint sound of something strange.

He suddenly opened his eyes: "Did you hear any noise?"

The deputy general looked blank, and after listening carefully, he shook his head.

Just at this moment, some soldiers came on horseback.

One of the three hemp ropes broke.

Fortunately, the soldiers who entered the mountain reacted quickly and withdrew in time. When asked what they saw in the mountain, everyone said something different. Some saw suspicious figures, some saw strange beasts, and some said they saw mountain ghosts... Wu Xian rubbed his arm and got goose bumps: "How strange, did I really see a ghost?"

A quarter of an hour later, the other two also retreated: "Duke, it's not good, one of them suddenly went crazy."

The mad people's pupils were all white, their foreheads were black, and red cracks were spreading from the collarbone to the top of their heads. They roared like wild beasts, and their claws could cut iron like mud. When they were surrounded and saw that they could not hurt anyone, they began to scratch their own flesh.

Due to lack of attention, thirteen people were injured.

This situation is the first time seen after the stalemate between the two armies.

Wu Xian's eyelids jumped violently: "Tie him up."

The soldiers obeyed the order and tied up the mad man.

The rest of the wounded were sent to the wounded camp.

The military doctor rushed over and carefully examined the mad soldier. After a long while, he said with a strange look on his face, "It seems like he has been poisoned by a poisonous insect."

insanity……

This word made Wu Xian's scalp tingle.

He was also a well-read man. In addition, for various reasons, he also made up for the history of the Wu Kingdom's Gu disaster. Naturally, he knew that the current Kang Kingdom was in a similar situation to the Wu Kingdom back then. As far as he knew, there were only two people in Kang Kingdom who could play with Gu worms, one was the mysterious Jimo Qiu, and the other was Lin Feng. The former wanted to be submissive to Shen Youli, and the latter only followed Shen Tang's lead. Neither of them could betray. After thinking about it, he suspected that either the Gu worm was born, or the enemy also played with it.

"Is there a solution?"

Military doctor: "Give it a try."

He thought of Bai Su again: "How long has General Bai been gone?"

Bai Su is talented. He has practiced martial arts for many years and has worked hard. However, he started a little late. No matter how fast he practices, he can't stay in the air for a long time at his age, let alone thousands of meters in the air. The higher the altitude, the more martial energy is consumed.

Wu Xian frowned and looked at the towering mountains in the distance.

The mountains shrouded in darkness were like a group of evil beasts with their fangs bared. "There is indeed something strange in this mountain. Wait a little longer. If General Bai hasn't returned, raise the sentinel arrow."

"I obey your command."

The thick fog under the night sky was like a black and gray giant python entwining the entire mountain range, and there was an ominous premonition everywhere. Bai Su stood on the back of the Wudan Totem, and the huge totem swung its tail leisurely, swimming above the sea of ​​clouds. It did not move fast, but the strong wind coming in the face could hurt a person's face, and the extremely low temperature made the Wu armor covered with a layer of frost.

Bai Su warned it calmly: "Swim slower."

The Wudan Totem was in high spirits, and he did a 360-degree spin with her eyes closed and flapping her fins.

Bai Su: “…”

Sometimes, she even had the urge to put a saddle on Wudan Totem. This guy was simply a "whale" crazy, excited anytime and anywhere. Before the transformation, he could listen to Bai Su's command, but since he could run in the sky and swim, the whole whale has become a wild horse.

Perhaps sensing Bai Su's urge to grill the shark's fin, the Wudan Totem made an innocent creaking sound and reluctantly lowered the flight altitude with its master. Bai Su took out the compass from her arms, but the compass was completely ineffective in this area, so she looked up at the stars again.

The direction of mountain networks is determined by the position of the stars.

Holding a charcoal pencil between his lips, he unfolded a piece of paper.

The paper rustled in the night wind. Before Bai Su put down the first stroke of the charcoal pencil in her hand, she suddenly shot out the charcoal pencil infused with martial energy as a flying blade. A black light flashed, and only a few drops of blood fell.

"Tsk, finally a living person came out."

There was no sign of life in the mountains below.

The Wudan totem circled in the sky twice but found no living creatures. If Wu Xian hadn't said that the scouts had found a lot of traces of enemy movements in the mountains, Bai Su would have suspected that the enemy was not here at all.

bite--

There was a loud metallic collision sound.

Bai Su was suddenly knocked away by a huge force, her feet flying into the air.

The boots rubbed against the back of the Wudan Totem, creating two sparks. She grabbed the flippers to gain leverage and returned to her original position. At the same time, she also saw who was attacking her. With just one glance, her pupils suddenly shrank.

How should I put it? That can't be called a human being at all.

It can't be called an animal either.

The body is like a human, with a pair of giant bat-like wings under its ribs, and its eyes are a strange green. When it found that Bai Su was killed with a knife, the other party smiled grimly, flapped its wings and landed on the back of the killer whale.

"Kangguo military commander, Bai Shaoxuan."

"I will always keep my name and surname. It's me."

The man's voice was extremely strange, like the sizzling sound of long fingernails scraping on glass, which made people's hair stand on end: "I think the general is also a young talent. Why don't you give up the dark and join the light to seek a future?"

Bai Su rolled her eyes inwardly in a haughty manner.

Listen, is what he says still human language?

The other party was still waiting for Bai Su's answer. She grabbed out of thin air with both hands, and a pair of sharp swords appeared in her hands. She started to work without saying a word.

The sword flashed, the silver snake split the sky, and the cold murderous intent broke through the clouds. Bai Su said: "Today I will cut off your bat."

Uェ*U

I stayed in the hospital with my relative for two days and felt like I was going to die.

PS: The elderly person in my family refused to go to the hospital and made a fuss for two days. I felt like I was going to have a mental breakdown... I always felt that I should be the one who was sick.
