Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

Su Li said slowly.

"First of all, doesn't the enemy have any scouts? When we only have 200,000 troops advancing, won't the enemy be suspicious?"

Furthermore, the loss of these 200,000 soldiers trapped in the ambush would be extremely heavy, and it would also affect our counter-ambush forces.

Even if we counter-ambush, wouldn't the forces be evenly matched?

“This…” Chang Ye felt that what General Su said made a lot of sense.

"General Ma, what do you suggest we do?"

Su Li turned to ask an old general.

This old general's name is Marin.

He was an old general of the Qi Kingdom. His story was that he would die peacefully in his old age ten years later, with the only regret being that he would not see the end of the war.

Now, it can be said that this is General Ma's last moment of glory.

Because if he were alive, he would have become a civil official in the imperial court.

"Yes."

Marin clasped his hands in a respectful bow.

"General Chang's strategy was correct, but it was somewhat idealistic."

We want to go fishing, that's fine, but the bait absolutely cannot be too big. Otherwise, if the bait is too big and the fish eat it, we'll feel bad.

This is my suggestion.

We only need to ambush them with 50,000 men, while we can have painters and monks paint some simple ink-painted soldiers to mix in among them.

As long as it doesn't arouse the other party's suspicion, it's fine.

Ideally, these 50,000 troops should be elite, and preferably General Su's Wan Jian Army could also participate.

Because if we are ambushed, we can not only fight back effectively, but also hold off the enemy!

Then, all the troops immediately formed an encirclement, catching the enemy off guard!

In this way!

Great things can be accomplished!

After listening, Chang Ye felt that the feasibility was much higher. Chang Ye bowed to Marin and said, "I have learned a lot."

"General Chang, you're too kind. General Chang simply lacks a little practical experience," Marin replied.

"Alright, alright, let's not stand on ceremony."

Su Li waved her hand.

"General Ma makes a lot of sense, that's what I think too."

"In that case, I will lead five thousand of the Ten Thousand Swords Army to guard the area, and then select fifty thousand elite troops to infiltrate it."

"General Su, you mustn't!"

Upon hearing that Su Li was going to personally act as bait, Marin was completely dismayed.

"General Su's strength is indeed extraordinary, but the enemy's ambush is no joke. It's better to be safe than sorry. If something happens to General Su, it will be a loss for the entire Wanfa Tianxia!"

Marin bowed deeply to Su Li, saying, "If General Su doesn't mind, Marin is willing to lead the army there! Anyway, I'm already an old man, and if I can die on the battlefield, it would be the greatest fortune of my life!"

"General Ma, you are mistaken..."

Su Li shook her head.

"Only if I appear will the other party not become suspicious. If the other party does not see me for a long time, how can they not be suspicious?"

Moreover, as General Ma just said, we must be able to hold out against the enemy's ambush until our soldiers launch a counter-ambush!

Moreover, only those with strong combat power can pierce through it from the inside out!

So from any perspective, I am the best candidate, without exception!

"But......"

"That's all." Su Li interrupted the other person directly, taking out the gold token. "This is a military order!"

"Yes..." Seeing the gold medal, Marin had no choice but to accept the military order.

Soon, there was less than an hour left before departure.

Su Li first had Hu Zheng, Feng Feng, and several other known traitors, including the centurions, come to the city lord's mansion in turn.

These people still don't know what's going on.

But the moment they stepped into the city lord's mansion, their lives were over.

After killing all of them, Su Li took out a talisman from their pockets.

Su Li recognized the talisman, after all, he had spent a long time in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, and even served in the army.

Besides this talisman, Su Li was very familiar with many of the equipment used in the battles of the Demon Kingdom.

Su Li used the dead Hu Zheng's finger to dip into the ink, and then wrote "Everything is proceeding according to plan, the army of Valley God City has set off" on the talisman, and then activated the talisman.

The talisman then transformed into a small bird and flew away.

By this time, the entire army was ready.

Su Li stood atop the city wall, looking down at the vast, dark mass of the army below:

"Today's battle will be a fight to the death between us and the Xuanxiao Army! It may even be the battle that determines the entire war situation in Qianlingzhou!"

just now!

I need 50,000 cultivators whose cultivation level is at least at the Dragon Gate Realm! Five thousand sword cultivators from the Ten Thousand Swords Army! Come with me!

Right now, I can't tell you what to do!

That's all I can tell you!

If you come with me, your chances of survival are slim!

Tonight could very well be your last night!

Therefore! You have made this decision voluntarily!

Those who are willing to come with me! Step forward!

"Splash!"

As Su Li's voice fell, all 100,000 Dragon Gate Realm cultivators from the 500,000-strong army stepped forward!

Meanwhile, on the other side, all the sword cultivators of the Ten Thousand Swords Army took a step forward!

"very good!"

Su Li nodded.

"Tonight! Let's fight to our hearts' content!"

"Lingxue! Go and personally select 50,000 soldiers!"

"Zhuang Mou, go and personally select five thousand sword cultivators!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Lingxue and Zhuang Mou accepted the order and flew down to the city.

Soon, 50,000 soldiers and 5,000 sword cultivators were selected.

As for the remaining 550,000 soldiers, they were divided into five armies, each with 110,000 men.

The remaining five thousand sword cultivators were also divided into five teams.

Many of them didn't know exactly what they were supposed to do; all they knew was that they just had to follow orders!

"Lingxue, Zhuangmou, you two are responsible for raiding the enemy's main camp. Don't follow me."

Before setting off, Su Li said to them.

It's too dangerous for him to follow me.

Su Li, out of personal reasons, did not want to see Ling Xue get into an accident.

Out of a sense of public duty, Zhuang Mou's talent is too great, and his future is bright. Such a genius should not be taken so risky.

"do not want!"

Please allow me to refuse.

Just as Su Li finished speaking, Zhao Lingxue and Zhuang Mou said in unison.

Su Li, who had already taken a step, was startled.

Su Li turned around: "What are you talking about?"

"I want to go with you," they both said in unison again.

Chapter 787 I will definitely return alive! (4000 words)

"No! You can't go!"

How could Su Li possibly agree to let them go?

"General Su."

Zhuang Mou stepped forward and looked directly into Su Li's eyes.

"The bait must be strong enough to hold the opponent back. As a sword cultivator in the Jade Purity Realm, I believe I have that kind of strength!"

"I...I think so too!"

Zhao Lingxue also stepped forward.

Zhao Lingxue secretly glanced at Zhuang Mou, thinking how clever this junior was; that excuse was really good.

Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to persuade Su Li.

"no!"

Su Li spoke with righteous indignation.

"You can't follow me because you're strong, which is why I want you to destroy the enemy's camp. This is an even more important matter!"

We are short-staffed.

I can only feel at ease when you are here.

I alone am enough as bait.

"But......"

"Alright, that's it. There are no excuses. This is a military order! It cannot be refused!" Su Li interrupted Zhuang Mou's words and turned to leave.

Zhuang Mou watched Su Li's departing figure, her gaze lingering for a long time.

Zhao Lingxue glanced at Zhuang Mou, then at Su Li walking into the distance.

Although Zhao Lingxue is very naive and still looks like she's eighteen, without any change, she is, after all, thirty years old and has a certain understanding of many things.

Zhao Lingxue stepped forward, looked at the girl beside her, and softly asked, "Zhuang Mou, do you like Su Li?"

"..."

Zhuang Mou, who was standing to the side, did not expect that Senior Zhao would directly reveal her thoughts.

"Mmm." Zhuang Mou didn't act coy at all, but nodded generously, "Yes, I like the general."

"As expected."

Zhao Lingxue's eyes curved into crescents as she smiled sweetly, like a little girl who had finally guessed a riddle correctly.

"It shouldn't just be you, right? Actually, there should be many people in the Ten Thousand Swords Army who like Su Li."

Why?

Zhao Lingxue was actually a little confused: "Su Li, that big jerk, isn't he any good? I thought only we would be interested in this guy."

"Us?" Zhuang Mou asked in surprise.

“Yes, us.” Zhao Lingxue’s smile deepened. “I’m not the only one who likes Su Li, Xiao Mou. Your competition is fierce.”
