Overlord the sky

Chapter 330 Setting Up an Ambush

"Come with me!" Zheng Qian said in a low voice to Huwei and led the way.

Speaking of his familiarity with the Qixing Liuhuo formation, Zheng Qian is more familiar with Huwei, a disciple of Humen, all of which are suitable for the previous time when he entered the heart of Zhishui in the Qixing Liuhuo formation.

Now he has a complete map of the seven-star fire array in his heart, which node is where, and which node's terrain can be used to set up an ambush, these Zheng Qian are all planning in his heart.

He led only nearly 200 people.The biggest advantage of these 200 people is mobility.

Another advantage is that these 200 people hold weapons in their hands. These firearms developed by him are modern high-tech civilizations. Compared with the ice weapon era, such high-tech is a story like the Arabian Nights.

These two advantages are enough to give Zheng Qian every reason to believe that these 200 people will be a surprise soldier with a lot of room to play.The effect of this surprise soldier is directly related to whether he can obtain the results of the military order.

Sneaking all the way, everyone in the squad followed Zheng Qian and sneaked into the seven-star fire array.

Zheng Qian circled east and west of the Seven-Star Flowing Fire Formation. What surprised Huwei was that Zheng Qian was so familiar with the Seven-Star Flowing Fire Formation.

"Fourth brother, you are really amazing. This formation is our Humen's clan protection formation, how do you know it so clearly?"

"As long as I want to know, there are no secrets in this world to me." Zheng Qian replied casually, without delaying his stealth at all.

"This is a famous saying!" Hu Wei said.

"Hey, I didn't pay attention if you didn't say it. This sentence is really a famous saying. Huwei, you wrote it down for me. This sentence can be regarded as my quotation." Zheng Qian joked.

Zheng Qian didn't have the habit of engaging in a personality cult, and he just said it casually.For these brothers who followed him, he had long been used to being so relaxed, and he didn't need to be so preoccupied when speaking.

But Zheng Qian's idea is one thing, and Huwei's idea is another.Huwei stuffed Zheng Qian's words deeply into his heart.

"Quotations. Yes, we must make a quotation for the fourth brother." Huwei thought secretly.

Zheng Qian didn't know what Huwei was thinking, he was only thinking about how to set up an ambush.

When Zheng Qian was fine in his previous life, he also read some ancient military books.

Among those ancient books, the use of soldiers is divided into three types: regular soldiers, surprise soldiers, and ambush soldiers.Now the 200 people led by Zheng Qian suddenly became surprise soldiers and ambush soldiers.As for whether he can be a soldier, Zheng Qian has his own plans in mind.

"The books of war are also written by people. As long as they are human, they will have their own flaws. Even the grandson who wrote 'Sun Tzu's Art of War' can't completely implement what he wrote. The books of war depend on who reads them." Zheng Qian secretly thought.

When they reached the handle of the seven buckets of the Qixing Liuhuo formation, and there was still a little distance from the node of the handle, Zheng Qian pointed to a forest above a mountain peak and said, "We will wait for them here."

Zheng Qian directed the crowd to ambush in the woods.He himself did not enter the forest together. After all the 200 people hid in the woods, Zheng Qian said to Huwei who stayed by his side, "Brother, are these brothers only masters?"

"Well. There are very few in the regiment who can reach the first level of masters. Some of these brothers are not even masters, but their aim is very good, and they are recognized as sharpshooters in the regiment."

"Great. This way our ambush has an extra chance of winning."

"How do you say that?" Hu Wei was a little puzzled.

"You think, among those people, there are five overlords. The five overlords can easily discover the hiding places of some high-level overlords. If the level is too low, they will not arouse the vigilance of these overlords. Since it’s going to be a surprise, it’s best not to let the opponent get ready.” Zheng Qian explained the key points.

Huwei nodded to express his agreement with Zheng Qian's idea.If the opponent had prepared in advance and came up with a corresponding solution, the 200 people would most likely fall into the opponent's anti-encirclement.Then the situation is extremely unfavorable for the vanguard regiment.

"Brother, if you let some tyrants from the vanguard regiment accompany us, the best way is to only keep some tyrants there. Since you have long spears, isn't it true that the level of tyrants is not enough for this ambush?" Important. Those of us with a higher level have an important task to attract the attention of the other party!" Zheng Qian ordered.

Zheng Qian knew that one of the bad things about domineering practitioners was that they couldn't hide their breath of life.Those overlords can easily know his location through deliberate detection.

As an overlord, Zheng Qian could not participate in such an ambush.Unless the other party is particularly careless, there is no need for energy detection at all.But looking at the current situation, such a situation without detection will not happen.

They know Zheng Qian's whereabouts, and Zheng Qian also knows their whereabouts.These people have always locked Zheng Qian's breath, wherever Zheng Qian has stayed, they have always been under the control of those overlords.

The current location of Zheng Qian is exactly the direction that those overlords are heading.

Zheng Qian calculated his stay time. Since this is the ambush location, he can't stay here too much.

When thinking of this, Zheng Qian took out the teleportation paper, entered domineering, and connected with Huwei.In the process of talking with Huwei, Zheng Qian kept changing his position, staying in one place for a longer time, and staying in one place for a shorter time.

This kind of stop and go, and when he made a big circle, he joined a dozen brothers who were relatively higher in rank led by Huwei.

"Brothers who are in ambush are surprise soldiers. Those of us are considered ambushes." Zheng Qian said with a smile, "There is another function of ambushes, which is to lure the other party into the trap we set. Now, we Just wait for them here." Zheng Qian ordered and sat down on the spot.

Zheng Qian said that waiting for them was mainly because he had already sensed that the other party had already divided up.

The Seven Star Flowing Fire Formation is a large 'maze' formation. To break through this 'maze' formation, different levels will produce different effects.Judging from the division of troops, one team moved faster than the rest of the teams.Zheng Qian has concluded that this team must be led by the Great Guardian of the Snake Clan himself.

"Hey, it's finally here. The high-level overlord is indeed a high-level overlord, and his speed is not so fast." Zheng Qian sensed the fastest-moving team, thinking about how to achieve the greatest results.

There is no doubt that the strength of the three great protectors in the snake clan has reached the level of a high-level overlord.Zheng Qian weighed his own strength. With the strength of a junior overlord, it is currently beyond his power to fight against the three great guardians of the snake clan.

"However, it doesn't matter, just because I can't beat you doesn't mean I can't beat your men." Zheng Qian's bad water began to rise again.

It is also one of the essentials of the art of war to temporarily strike the front and attack the void.Zheng Qian's idea was not to confront the big protector head-on, but to fight the two weaker junior overlords.The actions of the Snake Clan happened to be in line with Zheng Qian's wishes.The group of people who got together originally divided into three groups, probably because of the difference in status, the two junior overlords went one way, the two mid-level overlords went one way, and the three big protectors of the snake clan belonged to another group.

This method of dividing troops gave Zheng Qian an excellent opportunity to ambush.

The seven nodes of the Seven Star Flowing Fire Formation, Zheng Qian knew very clearly in his heart that the position of the ambush he set up was the only way for anyone who wanted to pass through the Seven Star Flowing Fire Formation.Breaking through this 'maze' is based on their respective strengths, and the two junior overlords are undoubtedly the last to pass through the ambush circle all the way.As long as the two groups of people in front of him are restrained, the latter one will be the main direction of Zheng Qian's attack.

Zheng Qian's abacus is pretty good, but it is very difficult to contain two teams led by three overlords who are stronger than him.Although Huwei is from Humen, he doesn't know as much about the Qixing Liuhuo Formation as an outsider like him. Such a status quo has invisibly increased the difficulty of containment.

Zheng Qian rubbed his bare chin with one hand, looking at Huwei.

Hu Wei was a little dazed by Zheng Qian's stare, and he didn't know what Zheng Qian was looking at him like.

"Fourth brother, what are you?" Hu Wei finally couldn't hold back, and rushed forward to ask.

"Brother, I may be alone later, to contain the strongest team. It is already difficult for me to contain all the people alone, and there is no other way." Zheng Qian said to Huwei.

Zheng Qian was thinking in his mind how to let people like Huwei hold back the other team of two intermediate overlords.But with the strength of Huwei's first-level overlord, it is indeed very difficult to contain the two intermediate overlords.

The strength gap is too huge.How can such a huge gap be evened out?Zheng Qian racked his brains.

"Fourth brother, if it's just restraint, I can do it."

"The opponents are two mid-level overlords!" Zheng Qian reminded, he thought Huwei had considered things too simply.

"It's okay, the opponent's strength is strong, it can only be that the time we have won is shorter. But we can still win some time in the middle." Huwei continued to answer in an affirmative tone.

Huwei's calm Zheng Qian's heart sank.

Zheng Qian already understood what Huwei meant.His so-called gaining time is obviously trading his own life for time, and at this price, he won the opportunity to ambush for Zheng Qian.

Such an arrangement is really correct in terms of the overall strategy.

But Zheng Qian didn't think so. His way of doing things was to achieve the greatest results at the least cost possible.Sacrificing Huwei and the brothers he led to buy time for the ambush, even if the results of the battle were achieved, the price would be too high.

Zheng Qian was unwilling to bear such a price.

"Brother, you have misunderstood me. I didn't mean to let him die. By doing this, you are calling me unrighteous!" Zheng Qian broke Hu Wei's mind.

"Fourth brother, the opportunity on the battlefield is only for a short moment. For this momentary opportunity, it is necessary to make some necessary sacrifices. It doesn't matter who sacrificed, the key is to achieve the established results. This is the iron law to survive on the battlefield." Hu Wei said calmly.

Huwei, as the head coach of the Huben Regiment, showed awe-inspiring righteousness at this time, which aroused Zheng Qian's admiration.

This is the iron-blooded man of the Huben Group he likes.

The more bloody men are like this, the less Zheng Qian can let them die easily.

"Brother, war is actually a business. Business is more about a cost. It may be possible for others to exchange your life for such an ambush opportunity. What they want is the result of the battle. The understanding of fighting is not like this. In my fighting, I can only exchange the smallest price for the greatest result. The cost is too high, so I won’t fight. Really killed me. Brother, you have to remember well that on the battlefield, life comes first. With life, you can say anything. Without life, no matter how great the result is, it has nothing to do with you relation."

"But, fourth brother, the current situation..." Hu Wei was warmed by Zheng Qian's words.He knew that his fourth brother's words contained a deep brotherhood.

If he were to change his role and let him deal with the situation at hand, he would most likely sacrifice Zheng Qian for such an ambush opportunity.
