Chapter 1,708 Hunting Operation(1/2)

And with Yingbu entering the battle and Cao Jiu escaping, it means that the big fish Wang Li was waiting for has entered the bait.

A large number of armor-piercing soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles immediately poured out from the surroundings, blocking the opening that had just been opened by Yingbu and others as quickly as possible.

Cao Jiu was rescued in time, and it was not difficult for Ji Bu and Long Qie, who were not completely deep into the enemy's position, to escape. The only problem was that Ying Bu was in big trouble.

Wang Li is greedy for merit, but he is not greedy for merit blindly.

He appropriately spared efforts to round up Long Qiejibu, who was more difficult to capture, and Cao Jiu, who was of little value, and focused all his energy on Yingbu, who was relatively easy to catch.

This leaves Yingbu with almost no hope of escape.

Surrounded by a large number of crossbowmen, even if the terrain here is complicated, it would be difficult for him to break through.

In a remote corner outside the military formation, a Tenglong Legion soldier was quietly escorting Bai Tu away from this land of right and wrong.

Before Cao Jiu took action, he arranged for Bai Tu to be transferred.

Unfortunately, this area quickly became a complete mess, and the escorting soldiers could only carefully avoid the enemy and move very slowly.

Until now, we are finally out of the danger zone.

But at this moment, danger targeted him.

A veteran armor-piercing soldier quietly reached from the tree near Bai Tu and the escorting soldiers. After finding the target, he immediately shot an arrow and attacked.

The soldiers of the Tenglong Legion reacted quickly and immediately raised their shields to block the sudden arrows.

Upon seeing this, the armor-piercing soldier jumped down from the tree and kicked the opponent's shield sideways.

The soldiers of the Tenglong Legion staggered after being kicked, but they did not drop the shields in their hands, nor did they fall to the ground. Instead, they immediately charged with their shields and launched a counterattack.

However, Bai Tu, whose arms were tied but could still move his legs, seized the opportunity and rushed over from the side and hit him.

This time, the soldiers of the Tenglong Legion were completely unbalanced and could not help but fall to the side.

Although he struggled to get up immediately, he still didn't have time and was pierced through the throat by the crossbow arrow of the armor-piercing soldier and died.

When Bai Tu saw that the Tenglong Legion members were dead, he turned around and ran away, seemingly not recognizing the Hundred-War Armor-Piercing Soldier.

And this veteran armor-piercing soldier was also very strange. He rescued a prisoner from the enemy, but just sat back and watched the enemy escape.

On the other side, Cao Jiu, who had escaped, quickly reunited with Long Qie.

When Long Qie saw this, he was about to send a signal to inform Yingbu to retreat, but he saw his soldiers making a gesture indicating that the enemy's reinforcements were arriving.

Seeing this, Long Qie hurriedly looked towards the core of the enemy's formation. Sure enough, the enemy's army had increased visibly to the naked eye.

"Imperial reinforcements!"

"Not good, Yingbu!"

As soon as reinforcements arrive, Yingbu cannot escape, and they are unable to save him, so he will be trapped inside.

Ji Bu had also rushed over to join Long Qie at this time. Faced with the current situation, even though it was his good brother who was trapped, he still made the calmest judgment:

"The enemy's massive reinforcements have completely cut off his retreat route."

"We must retreat quickly!"

"What about General Yingbu?" Cao Jiu became anxious upon hearing this.

Yingbu fell into it just to save him, and now he just gave up on Yingbu, which made him feel so embarrassed.

Ji Bu and Long Qi also didn't like to abandon their comrades - not many soldiers liked to do this kind of thing, but when marching and fighting, they couldn't be emotional.

The most reasonable choice now is to retreat quickly, otherwise they may get in.

"Yingbu has a special status. The enemy is surrounded by a large force, and it must be to capture him alive. We can only go back and worry about rescuing people." Ji Bu responded immediately.

"All troops retreat!" Long Qie followed up and gave the order without hesitation.

With Yingbu's ability, he would not be killed on the spot in any case. At most, he would be captured.

As long as people are alive, there is still a chance. There is no need to gamble with the lives of hundreds of people now.

………………

On the hillside, Wang Li showed a satisfied smile as he looked at the shrinking encirclement and Yingbu's increasingly smaller living space.

At this time, a man who looked like a deputy general came over and reported to Wang Lihui:

"General, the latest batch of components has been put into storage."

It is true that the armor-piercing soldiers can destroy everything in battle, but they also burn money. Various structures in the army need to be maintained at all times, and they also need a large supply of arrows, and they are very dependent on logistical supplies.

It is much more luxurious than other troops, even the Golden Fire Cavalry and Pingyang Heavy Armored Soldiers who are also ace troops are far behind.

Wang Li's biggest concern in normal battles was the issue of supplies. He nodded when he heard the news, "Very good."

Then he introduced Zhang Han next to him:

"This is General Zhang Han of the Shadow Guard."

It seemed that the person who reported the news was not an ordinary sergeant, otherwise Wang Li would not have to introduce Zhang Han to him.

The other party’s answer also confirmed this:

"Last General, Ordnance Supervisor of the Zhao Department."

Zhang Han's eyes couldn't help but flash when he heard this.

He had just heard of this name not long ago. He did not expect that this time in the Battle of Daze Mountain, the general of the Ordnance Shop would personally be responsible for the supply of the armor-piercing soldiers. Although he was called a general, the head of the Ordnance Shop

Official, in fact, the military rank is not high, not even a captain, at most he is a military prince.

However, this job is very lucrative, and it is the best job among the best jobs, the kind that even a general would not replace.

Of course, if you want to secure such an important position, you must have a strong backer behind you.

The backers of the Zhao Department are obviously the Wang family.

Wang Li seemed to notice Zhang Han's subtle reaction, and immediately shouted back Zhao Bu:

"Go down, don't disturb our interest."

After Zhao Bu responded, he bowed and left.

Zhang Han's attention turned back to the surrounded Yingbu, pretending to have just recognized him, and said in surprise:

"This is... Yingbu from the Thunder Leopard Legion of Chu State?"

"Hahaha, I have a good eye." Wang Li praised with a smile.

Normally, it would be difficult for anyone to recognize Yingbu at a glance, unless they had known him before.

It has been almost ten years since the Chu State was destroyed, and the name of the Thunder Leopard Legion has disappeared into thin air, let alone a mere legion commander.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If Chu State had not been destroyed by the Wang family, Wang Li would not have determined Yingbu's identity so quickly.

Hearing this, Zhang Han replied humbly, "The General is overly praised. It was because I had dealt with him not long ago that I could recognize him so quickly."

"Oh?" Wang Li glanced at him curiously after hearing this, "What is it?"

"The farmer robbed the Yinghuo Stone, and he was also one of the accomplices." Zhang Han replied bluntly.

There is nothing to hide about this matter, and although Wang Li seems not to know, only he knows whether he knows or not.

"Well..." Wang Li sneered after hearing the answer, "That's just right. It is indeed a big fish, and there is an unexpected harvest."

"Send the order, I want to live!"

The messengers followed the order, but Yingbu's situation had actually reached a critical point.

At the beginning, he could take the initiative to attack and killed many enemies, but now he was forced to shrink into a blind spot and could not move.

If nothing else happens, he may really have to confess here.

………………

At the core of Daze Mountain, outside the Tomb of the Six Sages of Emperor Yan.

Led by Tian Yan, everyone from the farm family will officially enter the Tomb of the Six Sages to select the new leader of the heroes under the witness of the six elders.

As a result, in full view of everyone, Sheng Qi and Wu Kuang walked out of the Liuxian Tomb first.

Both of them were covered in wounds, especially Sheng Qi, who was all red.

This scene immediately stunned everyone.

Where did these two items come from?

This was the first thought that came to Tian Hu's mind.

He had already sent people to surround the area around the Sixth Tomb of Emperor Yan. Didn't anyone under his command report that someone had broken in?

The next thought that came up was happiness.

These two people suddenly appeared to disrupt the situation. Maybe it would be a good thing for me?

Having lost his position as the leader of heroes, it seems that he cannot be in a worse situation, right?

Although Tian Hu didn't have the brainpower to take advantage of this, Tian Hu, who didn't need reason, still acted subconsciously.

He pointed at Wu Kuang and shouted angrily, "Wu Kuang, is this Lao Jin you pretend to be!?"
