"No matter how many people there are, just do it!"

Liao Hua picked up his weapon and was about to take the lead.

"Wait!" Zhuge Tian frowned and looked back at their team.

The team consists of 1,500 people, but 1,000 of them are miners who have just joined them.

Not to mention whether they can fight, the key point is that these miners don’t even have weapons.

In order to dig out as much gold as possible, these 1,500 people worked day and night for three days and three nights.

Even after a short break, everyone was actually very tired.

At this time, they still had to fight against an army of 20,000. Even if the enemy was a ragtag army, they would be at a great disadvantage.

"Yuanzhi, do you have any good strategy to defeat the enemy?"

Zhuge Tian looked at Xu Shu. He could only rely on him at this time.

Xu Shu nodded and said, "There are three strategies. It depends on which one Han Xing will use."

"You guys are the trouble, so of course we have to use the best strategy!" Liao Hua said.

"The best strategy is to run," Xu Shu said. "But the enemy has taken the way down the mountain. If we run, we might have to go around in a big circle in the mountains."

"As time goes by, who knows what will happen next."

"..." Liao Hua was speechless: "The best strategy is to escape? Then what is the middle strategy?"

"The middle strategy is to set the mountain on fire!"

Xu Shu raised his hand and pointed at the mountain in front of him and said, "This mountain faces the sun. The weather is dry in winter, and this forest is very flammable."

He pointed at the hems of several people's clothes and said, "Plus, the wind is blowing towards their ambush, so if we set fire, they won't be afraid even if there are 20,000 more of us."

"Great!" Gan Ning and Liao Hua said in unison, "This is a great plan!"

"I think the best strategy is to wipe out these 20,000 enemy troops without bloodshed!" Liao Hua was eager to try. "Our people just need to create a buffer zone first, and then set fire to them separately to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

He has gained some experience and even knows how to dig an isolation zone for himself.

"But..." Xu Shu sighed, "These mountains are endless. Even if we can ensure that the fire won't burn us, we can't guarantee where it will burn."

"Furthermore, many people living near Kuaiji go into the mountains to chop wood and hunt. This is truly...harmful to natural order."

Several people were speechless. They just thought that the fire could burn all the enemies.

But who can control how and where this wildfire burns?

The most likely possibility is to do as Xu Shu said, and burn the entire mountain.

I don’t know how long this fire will last. If it takes too long, it would be better to just run away.

"What's the other plan? The worst plan?" Liao Hua asked.

"Well, the worst option is for you guys to be the spearheads and lead the others to charge directly. The enemy in the forest can't charge on a large scale, so you can divide the battlefield into many small areas."

"Using our equipment advantage, we can defeat the enemy with fewer people, but..."

"But there will be a lot of casualties. Killing ten thousand enemies will only cost you eight thousand!" Zhuge Tian took over the conversation: "This is a completely losing business!"

He brought all the people out of Wolong Village. If possible, he would naturally bring them all back.

Fighting like this is not something he is willing to do.

"Can we use a decapitation operation?" Zhuge Tian asked.

Xu Shu thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "Among the enemy troops, we only know Wu Jing. We don't know who brought the other Shanyue troops."

"We only have one night left at most. We don't have that much time to find out the enemy's specific situation."

"And..." Xu Shu hesitated for a moment: "After all, this Wu Jing is..."

"Don't care about him!" Zhuge Tian narrowed his eyes slightly. People who were familiar with him knew that he really had the intention to kill.

"No matter who he is, since he attacked us first, we don't need to worry about his identity."

Zhuge Tian looked down the mountain and said, "Everyone, take a rest. I will kill Wu Jing tonight!"

"Han Xing..." Liao Hua and others were about to speak when they were interrupted by Zhuge Tian waving his hand.

"Needless to say, I may be inferior to you in direct combat, but when it comes to assassination, you guys combined are no match for me!"

"Bah, you have the nerve to say I'm inferior?" Gan Ning pursed his lips. "Then be careful. We'll meet you outside."

Xu Chu nodded repeatedly on the side.

Zhao Yun smiled slightly and said, "I'll come back to practice with you."

Zhuge Tian: “…”

When it got dark, Zhuge Tian took the tools he needed and went to the place where Wu Jing and his men were ambushing.

With night vision goggles, he naturally has a huge advantage in vision.

Although the other side also had several visible and hidden sentries, Zhuge Tian carefully avoided them all.

After all, this is in the mountains, so these Shanyue soldiers set up a camp.

Zhuge Tian still sneaked in quietly like a civet cat in the dark night.

By the evening, he had figured out the approximate area where Wu Jing lived.

The closer we got, the tighter the guarding became.

Zhuge Tian held his breath and observed the patterns of the sentinels in the shadows.

After a team of sentries passed by, he smeared himself on a rock on the side and then changed his position.

"You...you guys...look at what that is?"

Several sentries came back and passed by the rocks, and the leader was stunned.

He asked the people around him in a cold voice.

Because in his sight, there was a faint green flame burning on the rock.

"Ghost...will-o'-the-wisp...?"

"Okay...it seems so!"

"Could...could there be a ghost?"

Several people felt their legs tremble. If the army had not strictly ordered not to make any noise at night, otherwise they would be beheaded, they might have screamed in fear.

Just when a few people were terrified, the dark green flame gradually went out, as if it had never appeared.

“Disappeared…?”

"Is it...is it that we are all...dazzled?"

"How is it possible... that several of us are dazzled at the same time?"

One person plucked up the courage to go over and take a look, and indeed there was nothing there.

They didn't even know the principle of will-o'-the-wisp, so how could they have imagined that Zhuge Tian had actually smeared some white phosphorus on it.

Then the heat generated by gently scratching the rocks with the knife in your hand is enough to ignite the white phosphorus.

At this time, Zhuge Tian had taken advantage of the time when the sentry was attracted and sneaked into a tent inside.

These are all single-person tents, so I guess the people here must be of high status.

Zhuge Tian went over and pressed the mouth of the person who was sleeping inside, and put the dagger in his hand against the other person's neck.

"Woo!" The man was suddenly awakened and startled.

Just as he was about to scream, he found the cup covering his mouth and nose, and something cold on his neck, and he dared not move at all.

"I ask, you answer, understand?" Zhuge Tian said in a low voice.

The man had difficulty nodding and could only blink continuously.

Zhuge Tian then slightly moved his hand away from the other person's mouth, but as long as there was any unusual movement, he could immediately make the other person lose the ability to shout.

"Where is Wu Jing? Who are you?"

"I... I'm Wu Jing's deputy general. He's... over there, in the third tent..."

"Where did you, this Shanyue army, come from? Who is the leader?"

Zhuge Tian asked a few simple questions and the man answered honestly.

"Good...good man, spare my life... spare my life..."

Zhuge Tian looked at the other person, shook his head, and covered his mouth with his hand again.

It’s a pity that the Shanyue Army was led by Jin Qi and Mao Gan.

But the two men's tents were still in the middle, and the adjutant was not sure where exactly they were.

Zhuge Tian's ideal situation at the beginning was to kill the leader of the Shanyue army.

But now there is no chance, so I can only go to find Wu Jing as planned.

As the man had said, he sneaked into Wu Jing's tent and found that the other party had not lied to him. The person who was sleeping soundly was Wu Jing.

Zhuge Tian still went forward to cover Wu Jing's mouth and nose, but the dagger in his hand directly stabbed into Wu Jing's thigh.

"Woo! Woo!"

Wu Jing was suddenly awakened from his sleep by the pain and struggled violently under Zhuge Tian's hands.

"Mr. Wu, nice to meet you again." Zhuge Tian squinted his eyes and looked at Wu Jing with a smile.

He was only wearing a dark blue nightgown and not even a veil.

The two had met once, but Wu Jing obviously didn't remember who Zhuge Tian was for a moment.

After Zhuge Tian took the hand that was pressing on his mouth away, he gasped and asked in a low voice: "Who...who are you?"

"You want money... right? I have money... I'll give it all to you!"

"Mr. Wu...you don't even know who I am. It makes me lose face!" Zhuge Tian wiped the blood stains on the dagger on Wu Jing's face.

"I……"

"Okay, let's not beat around the bush." ​​Zhuge Tian took out a piece of paper from his arms.

"Your thigh has so much blood. Don't waste it. Use your own blood to draw a pattern like this."

"I...I drew it, can you...just let me go?"

Wu Jing had a sad face, and beads of sweat the size of beans fell from his forehead on the winter night.

"Well, I can consider it." Zhuge Tian nodded and said, "But you'd better hurry up, otherwise if the blood on your thigh dries up or is not enough, I will have to cut it again."

"Yes Yes……"

Wu Jing struggled to stand up and drew a strange rune on the ground as Zhuge Tian said.

"Your painting skills are too poor!" Zhuge Tian muttered with some dissatisfaction.

"I...I've finished painting. Can you please let me apply some medicine to my wound? I still have money in that box. I'll give it to you. All of it. How about that?"

Wu Jing looked at Zhuge Tian hopefully.

Zhuge Tian narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, saying, "Well, I just said that I can consider it. But after considering it, I think you still deserve to die!"

Without waiting for Wu Jing to react, Zhuge Tian covered Wu Jing's mouth and slashed his throat with a dagger.

"I'm really annoyed by guys like you who don't follow the rules when doing business!"

Zhuge Tian sneered, then cut off Wu Jing's head, carefully placed his body on the rune he had drawn, and then quietly left the Shanyue army camp.

……

"Dead!"

"Someone was killed in the tent!"

Early the next morning, Wu Jing's headless body was finally found.

The entire Shanyue army camp fell into slight chaos.

Soon, the two Shanyue army leaders Jin Qi and Mao Gan arrived.

"Marshal, the one who died was Wu Jing... and... his death was very strange."

A Shanyue army general who arrived earlier explained the situation to the two of them.

"Humph, someone actually sneaked in here and killed Wu Jing. If the other party's target was us, wouldn't we end up like Wu Jing?"

Jin Qi stared with his bull eyes: "Where is the patrolman last night?"

The sentries had been brought here long ago, and when they heard Jin Qi's question, they were pushed out directly.

"General..."

"This... this is a ghost at work!"

"Yes, we all saw it yesterday. Here, right where the Marshal is standing, there is... there is a huge ball of green will-o'-the-wisp!"

"Ghost fire?" Jin Qi looked at the rocks behind him and indeed saw some burn marks.

I sniffed it carefully and there was still a strange smell.

But Jin Qi didn't believe that this was some kind of ghost at work. Just as he was about to deal with these people and stabilize the morale of the troops, someone rushed towards him, crawling and rolling.

"Marshal, Marshal, something bad has happened..."

"You bastard, speak nicely!" Mao Gan kicked the Shanyue soldier who came to report the news to the ground.

"There is a head, there is a head flying in the sky."

"What a mess?" Mao Gan was about to take action but was stopped by Jin Qi.

"Speak clearly, what's with the head flying in the sky?"

"Just outside our camp, a head appeared out of nowhere in the air, flying around. Many...many people saw it."

"Head?" The two were startled and looked at Wu Jing's body lying on the strange blood rune: "Let's go and take a look."

When they hurriedly arrived in front of the camp, many Shanyue soldiers were already looking at the heads flying back and forth in the sky with trepidation.

At this moment, the head actually let out a sharp cry: "Jinqi, Maogan, pay for my life!"

Even though Jin Qi and Mao Gan had traveled all over the country for many years, they had never seen such a strange thing.

Both of them were frightened and took a few steps back.

Mao Gan was tripped by someone behind him and fell to the ground.

"What...what?"

It was clear that the head belonged to Wu Jing, whose eyes were wide open at this moment.

It was about ten meters above the ground, floating from the left side of the camp to the right side, and then from the right side to the left side.

And his shrill cries continued to grow more miserable as the head flew around.

"Marshal... Marshal!" Jin Qi's deputy general's mouth was like a machine gun, and he shouted countless times before he could shout.

"Come... someone, give me a bow and arrow. Someone must be playing tricks!" Jin Qi shouted bravely at this time.

He didn't believe in ghosts or gods, so even though he was shaking all over, he unexpectedly found that he wasn't that scared anymore.

He didn't know that it was because of adrenaline. With slightly trembling hands, he took the bow and arrow, drew the bow and shot the arrow at Wu Jing's head.

"puff!"

With a dull thud, the arrow pierced Wu Jing's head.

But it didn't stop, the head was still flying in the sky.

It's just that the words have changed.

"Jin Qi, I want you to die! I want you to die!"

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at Wu Jing's eyes, and green flames ignited in them.

Jin Qi was so frightened by this scene that his legs went weak and even adrenaline was useless.

Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my heart, and then I fell to the ground.

"Commander!"

"The Marshal is dead. He was killed by a ghost!"

"Luotou clan, that's Luotou clan!"

"No, that's Feitou Man, it must be Feitou Man!"

"Whatever it is, run for your life!"

The Shanyue Army camp was in chaos, as if it had been attacked by air raid.

Xu Shu watched this scene through the telescope and asked blankly:

"How did Hanxing... do it?"
