The troops were divided into four groups.

Half an hour later, Chen Ming led a thousand soldiers out of the dense forest and assured Chen Ze that there were no more scouts from the Zhu Yan Empire in the forest. The latter made the decision.

On Du Jun's side, after listening carefully to Chen Ze's plan, he hesitated for a long time and finally bowed his head.

At this point, Chen Ze recalled Meng Yang and Guo Zi who had blocked the dense forest, and made arrangements at the same time.

At this time, Meng Yang was still possessed by Ma Teng, and the eight thousand cavalry were still under his command. This was the first line of troops divided by Chen Ze.

These eight thousand people went to the baggage convoy in turn, and according to Chen Ze's instructions, they brought as much dry food and drinking water as possible without affecting the marching speed, which would last for three days.

The second route of troops was the remaining 7,000 cavalry. Chen Ze divided them into two teams. Four thousand of them returned directly to Xichuan City. There was an ambush in the Zhu Yan Empire, and two troops had been lost on this supply line.

The news about the baggage force was brought back to Huang Zhengyang, and at the same time, these four thousand people were asked to join the baggage force in Xichuan City and become members of the next batch of grain transport brigade.

The third group of soldiers and horses is the remaining three thousand cavalry, escorting the remaining dozens of supplies to Bo'an City. Although this batch of supplies is not large, the more important thing is to report the ambush to Bo'an City.

This allowed them to send heavy troops to guard the supply lines so that the Zhu Yan Empire would not take advantage of them again.

Chen Ze thought very clearly that since he couldn't eat so many Zhu Yan's ambushes at the moment, the military merits obtained would be at a discount. He didn't want to suffer such a big loss in vain, so he could only find another way to give it to him.

Make amends for yourself.

That is the compensation for war achievements in Haotian Continent.

He was the first to notice the Zhu Yan Empire's ambush. If this poisonous blade is not eliminated, the battle in Bo'an City will be impossible, and it is not impossible that the entire Anluo Province will be lost.

Such a great achievement, just forget about it silently?

Or let Zheng Yuanlong and his like take it after the war is over?

Chen Ze didn't have the consciousness to make a wedding dress for others. If it was his own, he would definitely fight for it.

In addition, these three thousand cavalrymen also shouldered another order, which was to deliver a letter written by Chen Ze himself, together with the Xiyun military aircraft token he obtained from Mr. Xiyun Chengjing, to Mr. Hua from the Military Aircraft Department of Bo'an City.

Send it and be sure to let them see it with their own eyes.

As for the fourth route, Guo Zi led more than ten Xuanjia elites from Bo'an Barracks. Except for the scout Chen Ming, they all headed towards Xiyun City.

Although the number of people on this road is small, they are responsible for escorting Du Jun and other three scouts from the Zhu Yan Empire. It is also related to the success of Chen Ze's subsequent plans. Therefore, Chen Zecai did not hesitate to let Guo Zi, who has become his confidant, lead the team. He can also

When tracking the opponent's position in space within the star system, there must be no room for error.

After allocating everything and waiting for the three groups of people to go on their way, Chen Ze also waved his hand and personally led the eight thousand cavalry to the small canyon pointed out by Du Jun.

Of course, the so-called leader was only the four men he led, namely Meng Yang, Li Quan'an, Xu Qing and Chen Ming, but the eight thousand cavalry were under the command of Meng Yang's Ma Teng general star.

It lasted for more than five hours, and its effects were immediately reflected at this time.

The eight thousand cavalrymen, under the influence of the generals' skills of running thousands of miles, can be described as galloping like lightning. The billowing smoke and dust raised along the way are like a giant earth-yellow dragon, which makes people look discolored.

Such a high-profile rush march was firstly to rush for time, and secondly, given the strength of Zhu Yan's ambush troops, there was a high probability that they would not wait on roads other than the supply line. It was unnecessary, and it also increased the risk of being discovered.

In this way, with the high mobility of the cavalry and the blessing of the generals' skills, everyone arrived near the Nameless Canyon an hour later.

This place is not far from the supply line of Fenghua City. The terrain is a flat plain, which is very suitable for cavalry to travel.

Along the way, Chen Ze and others also found many horse hoof marks. Judging from the scale, there were between 30,000 and 40,000 people, which was consistent with Du Jun's report of Zhu Yan's 30,000 ambush troops, as well as the captured baggage troops.

They made a huge noise along the way. With the plain terrain, if there were anyone in the canyon, they would have been able to find their traces long ago. Moreover, there was no obstruction nearby. It was useless to stop far away and send scouts to investigate.

possible.

So Chen Ze simply did not stop his army, but rushed straight towards the canyon.

Although this canyon is unknown, Li Quan'an once walked through it with a caravan and probably knows some of the topography.

According to his recollection, this canyon was similar to the canyon where the Wei family was surrounded by Gui Jianchou. They were semi-enclosed terrains with only one clear entrance and exit, but they were just larger.

In this case, Chen Ze is even more fearless.

If the Zhu Yan Empire's 30,000 ambush troops were still inside, Chen Ze could see that the situation was not good and ordered his cavalry to flee. With Ma Teng's thousand-mile dash, it was impossible for those ambush troops to catch up with him, and even if they pursued him relentlessly,

They will also be eaten away one by one because the pursuit front is too long.

If there were only a small number of guards inside, how could they withstand a charge from the Iron Eight Thousand Cavalry?

As a result, until the rolled-up earth-yellow dragon rushed to the entrance of the canyon, there was no movement in the dimly lit entrance.

Then the troops were ordered to stop, and they did not rush in. To be on the safe side, they sent Chen Ming and other scouts to carefully enter through the entrance.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Chen Ming walked out of it with an ugly expression.

"Son."

His tone was slightly lowered and he reported back to Chen Ze: "There... there is no living person in there."

No one alive.

Chen Ze sighed in his heart. In fact, not long after Chen Ming entered, he could smell a slight smell of blood coming from the entrance of the canyon. There was no sign of living people, which meant that there were all dead people inside.

This canyon is clearly where the corpses of Zhu Yan's ambush troops were hidden. Two waves of Xichuan City's supply troops, totaling more than 10,000 people, were escorted here by Zhu Yan's ambush troops even after they surrendered. In the end...

This result was not beyond Chen Ze's expectation, but when he actually heard it with his own ears, he couldn't help but feel sad.

These people didn't have to die originally.

If it weren't for my own blind self-confidence, and if I could have discovered the other party's conspiracy earlier, all of this could actually have been avoided.

Chen Ze is not a saint and does not have compassion for others, but this does not mean that he does not even have the intention to hide.

More than 10,000 fresh lives were lost, and it was all related to one of my own mistakes in judgment. No matter what, there is definitely a sense of loss in my heart.

And all Chen Ze can do now is...

He turned over and dismounted, and walked to the entrance step by step. Veins popped up on his clenched fists, and he relaxed again after a moment.

Taking a deep breath of the blood-smelling breath, he said heavily and firmly: "I will avenge you!"
