Qi Xu followed in front of the army and sighed.""Is this one of the top military types of the three countries? His aura is indeed extraordinary!"
This reminded him of the time at Mushui Pass when he went to the alliance army camp with Hwa Xiong to challenge them. Indeed, there was no harm without comparison! The power of the two armies simply could not be compared. This Gao Shun was indeed a general talent with an unknown reputation.
Looking at the soldiers behind him, Qi Xu could not help but ask,""General Gao, how many people are there in your Breaking Ranks Camp?”
"Over seven hundred."
"..." Qi Xu was speechless. They had over 700 people and they were going to rescue them? Wasn't it a little too hasty?
Gao Shun seemed to have seen through Qi Xu's worry and returned it with a smile.""Don't worry, Lord Qi. The Breaking Ranks are all elites among elites. It's not a problem for me to block ten of them. Moreover, General Lu is here. He alone can fight against a hundred thousand lions. Moreover, we are only here to help the vanguard. If we have too many people, it will be disadvantageous. I believe the Grand Preceptor has other plans for the rest.”
Hearing this, Qi Xu thought of Lu Bu's exaggerated strength and didn't say anything.
However, after leaving Tiger Cage Pass, Qi Xu looked at the road ahead that was barely visible under the moonlight. He frowned slightly and hurriedly whipped his horse's butt to chase after Lu Bu, who had left everyone far behind. He had no choice, after all, he was riding a Red Rabbit horse."General Lu, please wait. I'm afraid there's a trap ahead. We must be careful.”
"Is there a trap?" Lu Bu reined in the reins and slowed down his speed. His face was filled with disdain. In his opinion, any schemes and plots were useless in front of absolute strength.
Qi Xu hurriedly followed and said with a serious expression,""Since the alliance army dared to attack the camp at night, they must be wary of our reinforcements. Along the way, there will be ambushes. General Lu is naturally not afraid of them, but these soldiers are not. If they really encounter an ambush, I'm afraid they will suffer heavy casualties!”
Hearing this, Lu Bu glanced at the Breaking Ranks Camp behind him. This was his property, so he naturally couldn't bear to part with it. He immediately looked at Qi Xu and said,""Then what do you think we should do?"
Qi Xu said," This is a flat land, so we naturally don't have to worry about setting up an ambush. However, if we pass by a hillside or a forest, we will naturally be careful. It's best if we find someone who is extremely familiar with the terrain here to warn us in advance about which places are easy to set up an ambush with thousands or even tens of thousands of troops.”
When Gao Shun heard this, he immediately cupped his fists and bowed to Qi Xu with an expression of admiration."Lord Qi is really meticulous. We actually neglected such an important matter and almost made a big mistake. This general was quite familiar with this area. There were two places where it was easy to set up an ambush. The first was the forest less than a mile away from here. The official road was in the middle of the pincer attack. It was the easiest to hide in the forest on both sides, especially at night. If they were suddenly attacked by arrows from both sides, the consequences would be unpredictable.”
"The second is a hillside. We are in a low position, and it is especially difficult to see the situation on the hillside at night. If the enemy sets up an ambush here and attacks with rolling stones, our army will definitely suffer heavy casualties!”
"Since General Gao Shun is familiar with this generation's terrain, you will be in charge of guarding the entire army."”
"I will not fail you!" Gao Shun shouted solemnly. Qi Xu's words had clearly obtained his respect.
Lu Bu looked at Qi Xu in surprise. He didn't expect this kid to be so smart. He just happened to be lacking a strategist by his side. If he was really qualified, there was no harm in recruiting him as a live-in son-in-law. In this world, there were very few people that Lu Bu liked.
If Qi Xu knew what Lu Bu was thinking, he would definitely give him two middle fingers. A live-in son-in-law, you're thinking too much.
As for Zhang Xiu, his face was full of admiration and worship."As expected of Big Brother, you really know a lot!”
Qi Xu: " Don't always think about practicing your spear skills. You should read military books occasionally. If you don't know how to march and fight, how can you be a general?”
"Yes, Big Brother!" Zhang Xiu immediately cupped his fists solemnly.”
Along the way, Qi Xu bragged to Zhang Xiu, causing him to be stunned. Even Gao Shun and Lu Bu looked at Qi Xu in a new light.
Finally, Qi Xu and the others arrived at the first spot that Gao Shun had mentioned that was easy to set up an ambush. With just a glance, Qi Xu could not help but sigh. It was really great that there were no wanton logging of trees in ancient times. Look at this forest with towering ancient trees. It was really like a primitive forest.
"Stop!"
Following Gao Shun's shout, the Breaking Ranks Camp executed the order. From this point, it displayed the pomp that an elite should have.
Qi Xu listened to the sounds of small animals coming from the forest from time to time and said,""There are still small animals barking here. There shouldn't be an ambush.”
When Zhang Xiu heard this, he had a look of realization. This was a point of knowledge that he had to remember.
Gao Shun nodded, but for safety reasons, he still ordered loudly,""Form two wings, raise your shields and advance!"
The 700-odd Breaking Ranks instantly split into two rows and stood on both sides of the road. They raised their shields and moved sideways in the direction of the forest, obviously to prevent the rain of arrows from ambushing them.
However, as expected, there was no ambush here.
When they arrived at the second easiest ambush spot Gao Shun mentioned, Qi Xu could clearly feel the different atmosphere here. It was quiet, it was too quiet here, and the area was so wide that it made his heart beat faster."General Lu, I'm afraid that an ambush has been set up here, and there are probably quite a number of people!”
"How do you know?" Lu Bu turned to look at Qi Xu. As a God Essence Realm expert, he didn't notice anyone here, so he didn't care about Qi Xu's words.
"Big brother, I don't feel like there's anyone here either." Zhang Xiu said with a serious expression. If there was someone, the aura would be easily captured.”
Qi Xu immediately said with a serious expression," Remember, sometimes, what you see may not be true. Your perception can also be blocked by others. In this case, what we have to trust is our intuition and our grasp of the environment. It's too quiet here. The thatch on both sides of the slope and the top of the mountain are vast. There are probably tens of thousands of them!”
"Are you sure?" Gao Shun had a serious expression on his face. In the Three Kingdoms, where martial arts were high, every expert trusted their own perception. Gao Shun did not sense that there was someone here, but the atmosphere was indeed a little strange. Therefore, he believed 80% of Qi Xu's words.
"This is just a guess, not a hundred percent sure.”Qi Xu said calmly," Besides, setting up an ambush here is too stupid. Look at the high slopes on both sides. There are dry thatch. If we light a fire, what will happen?"”
Gao Shun's eyes lit up, but he was somewhat hesitant.""Setting the mountain on fire is a violation of the heavens.”
