Seekers Without Bounds

Shi Xunfei took the two small flags himself and asked the other flag to go around to another sentry point.

In this way, the main force of the Yeluo army can be detected in any direction.

The current area is already the territory of the Ye Luo people. The target is too large during the day, so all scouts have changed their operations to night time.

After walking for two days in a row, we were very close to the nearest outpost.

The wind started to get stronger at some point, and Shi Xunfei was sensing it, so he quickly waved his hand and asked everyone to hide.

A large army is coming! The front army is the earth warriors, followed by various gifted warriors riding camels, and finally the ordinary soldiers.

Judging from the flag bearer passing by, there are at least three thousand soldiers and horses!

Shi Xunfei hid in the sand and watched secretly. The uniforms were not from the Qiwang Army. They were from the Qibozhou Army!

When all the people and horses had passed, everyone was about to move, but was pressed down by Shi Xunfei.

Behind them came another small group of people, riding a group of desert lizards. They were wearing the same clothes with a blood moon painted on their chests.

Fortunately, it was Shi Xunfei who led the team, otherwise any other warrior would have been detected.

Shi Xunfei mixed everyone's breath into the wind, making the bloodthirsty warriors of the Ye Luo people only feel that the wind was a little hot.

There was no obvious sign of life. The group hid and was not discovered.

Moreover, those riding on lizards are all Yeluo blood worshippers. Once the battle starts, they will be bloodthirsty and will not stop until they die.

After everyone had passed for a long time, everyone stood up. The Blood Worship Cult had arrived. The Washi Village was in great danger.

There was no time to waste, Shi Xunfei had to quickly find the closest border post and return to Wa Shi.

If we wait until the Ye Luo people deploy in full force, all the scouts will not be able to return.

The only outpost with a water source was already occupied by a large number of Chitwan Army troops.

Shi Xunfei and his team were unable to even get close enough to investigate, and seeing the dense footprints around them, they knew that the people coming were going to capture Washi Village.

"Deputy Chief Shi, what should we do now?" The flag chief in charge of the third flag was panicking.

There are nearly 10,000 troops here, plus the previous troops, so our group has been trapped in the middle, unable to move forward and with nowhere to retreat.

"If I'm not mistaken, this outpost has become the headquarters for the Ye Luo people's logistics." Shi Xunfei observed the four corners with his superb eyesight.

There are always two warriors on guard, and there is only one way in and out.

The entire outpost has been transformed into a stronghold. Such a project is impossible in a short period of time.

For such a long time, the outpost was captured and the border troops did nothing.

It is a bit too late to make amends now (because Lu Yansheng went to Qiqiao Oasis and Lei Mingyu simply let the border troops go, resulting in the current passive situation).

"If we retreat now, we will all die here. The only way is to lie in ambush and wait for the main force to leave to see if we can burn their logistics points." Shi Xunfei's words scared the people below him.

There were only four untalented warriors and eight ordinary soldiers in his group. How could they burn down the enemy's heavily guarded logistics point?

Over at Washi Village, reports of defeat came pouring in like snowflakes from both the border troops and the patrol camp. All sentry posts near the south gate were lost.

More than half of the frontier army's vanguard Youbian Banner and Ruishi Banner were killed or wounded. Lei Mingyu had no choice but to discuss countermeasures with Lu Yansheng.

"The Yeluo people have bypassed the border troops and penetrated into the Tengji Desert. When the Qiwang army from the north arrives, Washi Village will be surrounded." Xi Jingtai said while looking at the map.

Except for the two commanders, all the patrol battalion and border army captains were present.

What was very special was that Lu Zhaohui was also present, the only deputy general flag officer present.

"Lu Yansheng, what happened to your scout flag? You only sent back the intelligence after the enemy arrived. You didn't even have time to prepare!" Lei Mingyu said.

"That's because Commander Lei lost three early warning outposts while he was in charge of the border army. He didn't rescue them beforehand, and didn't report it afterwards. He even got our newly appointed deputy commander-in-chief involved."

Lu Yansheng and Lei Mingyu were passing the buck to each other, and no one dared to interrupt.

"Okay, if you two keep making trouble like this, you might as well hand over Washi Village to the Yeluo people!" Guan Ting, the only one who could influence the two of them on the field, spoke.

"Tell me, what should we do?"

"The patrol camp has sent several groups of people to Wangcheng to ask for help, but there was no response. The Yeluo people have already established a foothold in the south!"

Xi Jingtai was also worried. The occupation of the south was equivalent to cutting off the retreat route. The army of Qiwang City alone was definitely not enough, and other Yeluo cities also sent troops to participate.

"The troops coming from the north are Chitwan troops, with a strength of about 3,000. Our border troops have stopped them outside the remaining two outposts. But the reinforcements from the opposite side are constantly putting pressure on us, and we can't spare any manpower."

Lu Yansheng narrowed his eyes and said nothing. Jiang Xingping meant that everyone should mind their own business.

The patrol battalion should be responsible for the South Gate. Of course, he would not have said this without Lu Yansheng's hint.

"Your border troops have two more flags than ours. We are short of manpower for a field battle outside the city," said Xi Jingtai.

"We still have two outposts to defend, and we can't spare any personnel. If we lose the outpost again, both the border troops and the patrol battalion will be caught in the trap!" Jiang Xingping said.

For a while, the border troops and the patrol battalion were fighting fiercely, and only Lu Yansheng watched it all coldly.

When he divided the Waishi border army into two, he had anticipated this day would come.

There are two masters in one city. Normally, there is no problem. But when there is an enemy attack, who can command the overall situation?

If they continue to fight on their own, it will only be a matter of time before Wa Shi falls.

Lei Mingyu looked at the crowd arguing for half an hour with a sullen face.

"Everyone stop. I have a suggestion. If Commander Lei doesn't accept it, just pretend I didn't say anything." Seeing that it was almost time, Lu Yansheng finally spoke.

"You said."

"If we continue to argue like this, it will be fruitless until Washi Village is breached. With the war approaching and people's hearts are not on the same page, we will definitely lose. You and I should join hands and let Commander Guan be our temporary supreme commander. Only by unifying the command and concentrating our strength can we have a slight chance of winning."

Lu Yansheng knew that neither he nor Lei Mingyu would submit to the other, so he could only push the old commander to take the lead.

Of course, he and Guan Ting had already discussed this matter.

"How can I do this? I'm already so old, I don't want to mess it up and make the younger generations laugh at me." Guan Ting pretended to refuse while smoking a cigarette.

"I agree to let the old commander take command." Lei Mingyu agreed directly, which surprised everyone in the patrol camp.

Only Lu Zhaohui stared at Lu Yansheng. He couldn't imagine how Lu Yansheng had the means to split the border army into two.

"Okay, the same applies to my border troops. All authority will be handed over to Commander Guan for command!" Lu Yansheng achieved his goal and hurried to implement the details.

"Commander Guan, don't push it at this critical moment!"

"Well, it's a rare honor for you all to show me your kindness, so I'll do it with reluctance." Guan Ting pretended to be in an awkward position.

"The Yeluo people dare to transfer people to the south. They are trying to make trouble for each other. It is hard to say who will benefit. We must concentrate our strongest forces and make a breakthrough in one fell swoop..."

The battle plan that Guan Ting blurted out made Lei Mingyu realize that he had been tricked.

But now he has to jump into a trap even if it is one. He can still tell the difference between falling into the hands of his own people and falling into the hands of the Ye Luo people.
