Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"Why so fast?"

Upon hearing this news, Xu Jiangong hesitated.

However, he also knew the strength of the Datong Sect.

Even if they wanted to stop them, they couldn't just withdraw soldiers from the main battlefield and carry out large-scale obstruction.

I think it was just a demonstration to them.

When he thought of this, he felt a little relieved.

"General, should we continue to advance? We might engage in a battle with them."

"Let's fight, let's test their strength first!"

Xu Jiangong nodded slowly and made a decision directly.

Liu Qin had already told him that this trip was to provide timely assistance to the Western Region Allied Forces.

Killing some worthless members of the Datong sect can better demonstrate the value of Xishu, and it can even take the opportunity to make more demands on the Western Regions.

The Western Regions is a prosperous place. Xu Jiangong heard that some time ago, the Western Regions coalition forces seized a small treasury from the Chamber of Commerce.

The amount of silver they have in their hands is probably quite considerable.

"Yes!"

With Xu Jiangong's order, all the soldiers immediately entered combat status.

Dozens of scouts explored forward and spent a whole night figuring out the enemy's position and number, and then came back to report to Xu Jiangong.

"The general and his men number about three thousand, stationed at several intersections on the official road."

"So honest... no unnecessary movements?"

Xu Jiangong was a little confused.

Logically speaking, by the time he was able to detect the other side, the Datong sect's troops should have already known about the existence of the Xishu troops.

But the other party didn't make any extra moves.

Didn't even come to investigate.

Is it just waiting for me to attack?

Xu Jiangong was very surprised when he thought that the other party had set up a dragon gate formation and was waiting for his challenge.

Why do they think that an army of 3,000 people can stop their advance?

Or are these people really fearless?

Do you think you are the best force in the Western Regions and can easily suppress the reinforcements from Western Shu?

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Xu Jiangong decided to be cautious. He might not make any achievements, but he absolutely could not make any mistakes.

Thinking of this, he began to instruct his men:

"Arrange a vanguard to engage them."

"Yes!"

Under Xu Jiangong's command, a vanguard of 500 people quickly separated from his team and advanced towards the distance.

After walking for more than ten miles, we finally saw the camp of the Datong sect.

Outside their camp, there were already many troops patrolling the wild.

They happened to meet each other upon arrival.

"There are enemy troops!"

Following this, a loud roar came from the patrolling troops.

The next moment, the Western Shu troops, who had not yet reacted to the situation, were directly covered by artillery fire!

Bang bang bang...!

In less than a breath, the patrol troops of the Datong Sect had opened up all their artillery fire.

At the same time, support from the rear rushed over like the wind.

When the Western Shu vanguard troops, which had suffered heavy losses, saw this scene, they were immediately terrified.

Because there was not just one team coming to support, but more than a dozen!

"What's this!?"

Several veteran soldiers from Western Shu murmured, their faces filled with shock.

There's no way they could react so quickly!

The troops of Western Shu could not assemble so quickly.

But the Datong sect did it.

Assemble, alternate firepower, intersperse battlefields...

All kinds of amazing military qualities were displayed on the enemy side. Almost subconsciously, the leading Western Shu general shouted:

"Retreat! Quick!"

boom!

Unfortunately, his reaction was still slow.

The fence of the military camp in the distance was wide open, and dozens of carts carrying artillery rushed out. The shells fell like raindrops and exploded on their retreat path!

Completely blocking all their escape routes!

After an incense stick of time, the battlefield was in a mess.

The air was filled with smoke and the bodies of the fallen Western Shu troops were everywhere.

They were all beheaded here.

"Just so many people?"

Liu Chuang rode a fast horse to count the battlefield. After seeing the number of enemy troops, he frowned and looked a little displeased.

The people of the Datong sect really cannot reach such military quality.

But the Fire Camp can.

What Xishu encountered today was the Datong sect troops led by Liu Chuang.

Those patrolling outside are also his people.

These vanguard troops were all killed, and it can only be said that they were unlucky.

With only such a small number of people, they dared to challenge the Fire Camp that swept across their entire territory.

"General, why don't we chase them out and fight them?"

At this time, there were several soldiers who did not participate in the battle.

He immediately came to Liu Chuang and offered suggestions.

Liu Chuang rolled his eyes at them and waved his hand, saying:

"Why chase? His Majesty didn't give us too many weapons and equipment this time. We only have these musket bullets and artillery shells. We can just fight on the spot."

"It would cost more resources to chase them out. If they discover that we joined the battlefield, His Majesty would punish us."

"Yes."

Seeing that there was no battle to participate in, several soldiers had to capture several Western Shu scout troops and attack them.

Of course, these troops were not enough to fill their teeth.

With just a slight move, he wiped out all the scout troops arranged by Xu Jiangong.

I ignored them at first.

It was simply because Liu Chuang and his troops felt that it would be harmless to let these people investigate.

There is no need for the Fire Camp to launch a large-scale attack just because of some scout troops.

Just to clean up some small shrimps, the price-performance ratio is too low.

the other side.

Xu Jiangong had been arranging the vanguard troops to go out for half a day.

But by evening, he had not received any news from the front-line troops.

Not just the vanguard troops on the front lines.

Even the scouts he sent out seemed to have not returned.

"General, something seems to be wrong."

At this time, a discerning general had already entered Xu Jiangong's tent to discuss today's situation with him.

Xu Jiangong also felt strange.

"Anchor the waiting troops and go see what's going on at the front line."

"It's been arranged. He should be back soon."

Because there had been no news from the front line, the people below spontaneously arranged for scouts to check the situation again.

Soon, the people who went to investigate came back.

They brought back some shocking news.

"General, all the troops we sent out have been killed!"

"What? No one alive?"

Xu Jiangong was shocked. At this moment, his eyes widened and his face was full of disbelief.

"Yes."

This news was like a heavy bomb, exploding in Xu Jiangong's mind.

He didn't know what was happening on the front line.

But if the Datong Sect's combat effectiveness is at this level, it means that their means are far superior to his own.

"Send a letter to the court! Tell His Majesty that the situation has changed!"
