Chapter 62: The Battle at Clear Wind Gorge (6)

  I don't know why, but Sanjiang always can't get through! Depressed! It seems like only A-level contracted authors can get through, even if they have tens of thousands of clicks and just a few hundred recommendations!

  It wasn't until 2 hours later when we received the message from the Black Eagle Radar, I was enjoying roasted meat and red wine by the bonfire, and said to the generals who were eating beside me with a hint of regret, "We rushed out too hastily, not being able to bring tents is a small flaw, otherwise this barbecue would have been perfect!"

  "Master! Are we going to fight? It seems like we're still being pursued! If we can have the luxury of roasting meat over a fire, that's already good enough. You still want to set up camp and sleep?" Old Ma said with a bitter smile.

  "Cut! Do those thieves still dare to kill us?" The poor Taoist said disdainfully, "Now go tell them we're at Wanjue, see if they dare come!"

  "They'd believe me? They'll definitely take me for a spy and capture me, how could I possibly come?" Old Ma complained: "Young master is really cunning!"

  "Hehe!"

  "Master, this is called clever!" Li Gang said excitedly: "This time we did a great job, 300 people launched a surprise attack on the grain base, slipped away under their noses, and then unexpectedly exposed themselves. They fought their way out, Master's sentence '狭路相逢拥者胜' was too good! It immediately stirred up the blood of the soldiers, it was so thrilling to kill! Li Gang admires Master!"

  "Indeed!" Di Yun also said: "This battle can be written into the textbook of the Kingdom Knights Academy, with more than 300 people not even injured, achieving a crushing victory over 1,500 people, and burning all the grain and grass of the 15,000-strong army. It's simply divine!"

  "It's true, especially the young master's magic is powerful. Especially the spell that blasted open the roadblock and the one that was added to us at the end, I feel that not only is it infinitely powerful, but also seemingly tireless. Even though the sustained effect has disappeared now, his spirit is still very good. Doesn't such a strong buffing spell have any negative effects?" Zhao Qing asked

  "Alas!" The poor Taoist sighed and said, "Unfortunately, none of it is my own ability. Blasting the roadblock was the merit of the scroll, as for the spells on your bodies, they had to borrow a very powerful magical artifact, you guys didn't have any effect, but I'm the one who's unlucky!"

  "What's wrong with you?" everyone asked in unison, it seems that I have already had an important position in their hearts!

  "All of my magical powers have been completely drained and still haven't recovered yet!"

  "Ah! Such a small side effect, what's the big deal!" Knowing they've been fooled by Poor Dao, everyone expressed their dissatisfaction.

  "After a while, Di Yun said, 'Young Master! When are we going back?'"

  "Right! If we hurry back, we can still lend a hand to the camp!" Old Ma said: "They have more than 2,700 people, and the masters are all transferred to our side. Facing an attack of over 10,000 people is likely to be quite difficult!"

  "I think they won't let us pass through Qingfeng Gorge!" The poor monk deliberately kept them in suspense.

  "Not bad, I'd definitely also defend Qingfeng Gorge to the death and not let us go back to help!" Li Gang said.

  "What can we do? Just stand by and watch?" Zhao Qing said

  "Young master has many ideas, what do you think we should do?" said Old Ma.

  "We just need to block off Qingfeng Gorge at this end!" Poor Way said with a smile.

  "What's going on?" Old Ma said: "Don't care about the camp's life and death?"

  Others also didn't understand and kept asking about my plans.

  I think their stomachs are about adjusted, I smiled and said: "I've already made arrangements, tomorrow the thieves will unite to attack, but the target is not us, it's those despicable guys! We just need to block this end, don't let them run away!"

  "Really? How did you know?" everyone asked in surprise

  "I left a letter with Mu Huwei and told him to release the captives at 4 am, and have them deliver the letter to the leader of the thieves." said Poor Dao Xiao Mimi.

  "A single letter and you're convinced they'll surrender?" Old Ma was skeptical

  "Eight nine is not far from ten!" The poor Taoist said confidently.

  "Tell us about it?"

  "Really? Tell me then!"

  "Speak up!"

  Under their urgent urging, the poor Tao could only slowly explain: "With their current morale and food supply, they can't take down our camp, right?"

  "Not bad! Definitely can't be knocked down!"

  "Even if we manage to bring him down, we'll still have to face the wrath of the entire Long family on this continent, right?"

  "Ah! If we fall, it's us who will die. The casualties of the 3,000 Qinglong Iron Cavalry, I think the master of the house will definitely not let them off!"

  "It's like this, whether they fight or not, they're doomed. They're now in a dilemma. So if I were to give them a way out, do you think they'd take it?"

  "Of course I'll go! Are you going to let them off?" Li Gang said

  "It's probably not just a matter of letting them off, but also giving them food for free, right?" Zhao Qing said.

  "Haha! This condition is even better!"

  "What? What did you say in your letter?"

  "The leader of the thieves can be my vassal, I guarantee they won't be hunted down by the mysterious family!"

  "Why is this mysterious person trying to kill them? They couldn't cooperate, but it's not worth taking their lives, is it?"

  "Haha! I'm not just going to take in anyone, they have to show their abilities through actual actions, I don't want any trash!"

  "What do you mean?" Old Ma said

  "Right! That's exactly what I want - for you to use your mysterious person's brain to show me your loyalty and ability!"

  "Haha! Now those rascals will have a hard time!" Old Ma said

  "Alright! Among 3,000 Iron Dragon Riders and 1,000 Hidden Head and Tail guys, I'll choose an opponent. I think they know who's the soft persimmon!" Li Gang said.

  "And we were well-prepared, with a defensive camp, while they were completely unprepared and outnumbered. What if they were ambushed by tens of thieves? Hehe! Just thinking about it gets me excited!" Zhao Qing said

  "Master, shall we go back now? The mysterious person is probably dead, and there's no need for us to intervene." Li Gang said impatiently.

  "It won't do, now if we go back and get discovered, it'll be bad. I reckon they'll only make a move at dawn. Although the thieves have the upper hand, it's not necessarily that they can wipe out all these guys! If they break through, 80% will take the Clear Wind Gorge, using the terrain here to offset the difference in numbers. So we still need to block this gorge entrance and ensure that every last one of these scoundrels is annihilated!"

  "Is this mysterious person really so formidable?" Old Ma also wondered.

  "I told you, those mysterious guys are definitely from the Ishihara family. Although the main force of the Black Dragon Society was almost annihilated, they still have the Genbu Army Corps that hasn't moved yet. I'm guessing these 1000 people are the main force of the Genbu Army Corps, and their Genbu Iron Cavalry is not much different from our Seiryu Iron Cavalry!"

  "If they really have the ability to break through the siege." Old Ma said seriously: "In our country's four major field armies, each has an elite iron cavalry with a strength of 20,000. However, it seems that in recent years, for some reason, our Qinglong Army has increased by 5,000."

  The poor Taoist felt a pang of heartache, wasn't it all just my money and equipment?

  The old horse continued: "Because they belong to different families, their combat styles and strengths are also different. The dragon family's martial arts are famous all over the continent, so the fighting strength of our two legions is stronger than those two. Also, because the Vermilion Bird Legion mainly defends against sand thieves, not many masters can be used, so their main force has been transferred to Qinglong. Next is the Black Tortoise Legion, which was previously controlled by the Shi family's control of the kingdom's finances, and their equipment is better than ours. The quality of personnel is also good, at least not much worse than us. The worst is the White Tiger, I estimate that its combat strength is less than half of ours."

  "How would you rate the combat effectiveness of these 1,000 people?" Poor Dao asked.

  "If it's the elite of the Xuanwu Iron Cavalry, at least equivalent to our current 800-man combat power. I estimate that there are about ten Golden-level experts, and if the leader has a special identity, maybe there are more than 20!" Old Ma said.

  "Oh! Isn't that about the same as us? Centurions are all gold-ranked, right?" Poor Dao asked strangely.

  "Haha! Their Golden Class and our counterpart, the possibility of losing is 80%! Old Ma said: "If not, Master can defeat a dozen or so Golden and Silver Stones in the Great Hall, making them search for their teeth on the ground?"
