Because the invading army in Ruifeng City broke the city wall and escaped when Diao Si set fire to the city, Diao Si's plan failed.
The situation has developed to this point, and there is no other way. If Diao Si still wants to persuade the Latin Queen to retreat as originally planned, he must wipe out the remaining tens of thousands of enemy troops before the Latin Queen's army arrives.
Because of the pleading of the tree spirit, Diao Si gave up the plan of burning the forest to kill the enemy, and instead used food to trap and kill the enemy. As expected, the enemy was fooled, and soon sent two to three thousand soldiers over.
In this way, Diao Si arranged for his team to hide there as planned, letting the enemy soldiers happily take the food, and then suddenly killed them by surprise. Because they were completely unprepared, they were killed before they could fight back.
Then Diao Si immediately ordered his team to drag the enemy's corpses into the woods, so that the enemy's birdmen would not easily detect them. They would think that the soldiers were just looking for food in the woods, and they would send more people to look for them. them.
So next, Diao Si used the sharp wooden sticks made by Lafite's team to arrange some mechanisms in the woods. Of course, there was not much time now, so he could only arrange some simple mechanisms, such as the movement of a pendulum clock.
As expected, the invading army over there quickly sent birdmen to reconnoiter here in the woods, but they flew back after flying for a while without any results. The cunning archers have been keeping a close eye on them, but fortunately they didn't find anything, otherwise they wouldn't be able to fly back.
Next, the invaders over there sent a team of about 10,000 soldiers and marched towards the woods. It seemed that their commander was really careful. She might have known that there was a problem in the woods.
In order to successfully deal with the 10,000 soldiers, Diao Si set up a dragnet and even had the heart to destroy the mechanism in front of him to let the enemy penetrate deeper. The purpose was to prevent even half of them from escaping!
The plan has been successful. After the enemies entered the woods, they began to shout the names of the previous invading troops. However, they left a small team to look out outside the woods, and also brought birdmen with them, probably to report something to the large army in time. .
The enemy was on guard. After repeated hesitation, Diao Si specially arranged for Lafite and the others to kill the team reporting the news outside first. This way, he would rather let the people inside the woods know that there was an ambush than let the people outside tell the big people. Report to the troops.
Diao Si believed in Lafite's ability. As long as they killed the team outside, they could slowly hunt down the invading army in the woods, because not only did they occupy the advantageous location, but the number of soldiers was several times that of the enemy.
The invading army in the woods was divided into three groups. After walking for a while, they began to encounter traps. Under the attack of traps and hidden arrows, they quickly became a mess and retreated one after another. Only then did they realize the original way to retreat. It has already been sealed.
But what Diao Si didn't expect was that this enemy army was actually led by a powerful golden light warrior. She quickly swept through dozens of Guangnan Empire soldiers, and then fought with two purple light warriors.
The hidden arrows continued, but they were basically ineffective against this golden warrior. The two purple warriors fought very hard, but Diao Si could only let them carry it and continue to command most of the soldiers to intercept and kill other invading troops. .
I still have to praise this golden warrior of the Glorious Empire. She was able to deal with two purple warriors and various attacks from other soldiers by herself. She was not at a disadvantage at all, which even made Diao Si more and more worried.
Judging from the armor of this golden warrior, there is absolutely no possibility of killing the silver warriors, elite soldiers, and ordinary soldiers. They can still be beaten if they are one level different, but if they are more than two levels different, it is impossible to kill them. .
The invading troops were killed one after another, but at the same time, a team led by a purple light warrior and a silver light warrior broke through the siege and reached the edge of the woods. When they thought they could leave, Lafite's team was stuck there.
"Seventh Princess, leave them alone and deal with this golden warrior first!" Diao Si asked her for help loudly. Now he would rather let the Purple Light Warrior break through with only a thousand troops left than let this golden warrior leave.
But Lafite didn't come over right away, so the golden light warrior from the Glorious Empire kept a close eye on Diao Si. After she injured a purple light warrior with a skill, she suddenly attacked Diao Si.
This really frightened Diao Si. He immediately controlled the wind elf to come to help him. Such a large number of fallen leaves and dust blocked the way, so that the golden light warrior had to stop and only used one skill. But this powerful skill still pushed down Diao Si who was hiding behind the tree.
Because his sight was blocked by fallen leaves and dust, and he forced his skills to use, another purple light warrior from the Guangnan Empire also found the opportunity and pierced the golden light warrior's armor with a spear and penetrated her side.
Lafite came over, and she immediately faced the golden warrior who was stabbed. How could the golden warrior fight with her like this? After several powerful skill attacks from Lafite, she was hit by Lafite again. She was so injured that she had no ability to fight back.
But she didn't expect that under such circumstances, she could actually use a special skill to slam into Lafite. The moment Lafite stabbed her to death, she also pierced Lafite's armor.
"Lafite..." Diao Si became nervous and immediately rushed out and walked in front of Lafite.
Lafite threw away the golden warrior of the Glorious Empire and responded, "I'm fine. Why are you nervous?"
She was only slightly injured. Diao Si came back to his senses and saw the invading army breaking through over there. He said to Lafite: "They are going to run away. We can't let them escape back..."
Lafite rushed over, but it was too late. The Purple Light Warrior over there was actually resisting desperately by himself, allowing his soldiers to escape back.
No, there were already soldiers from the Glorious Empire running outside. The birdmen who were scouting must have seen it, and they were still wrong. Seeing this, Diao Si began to think about the next change in the situation. Since the invading troops knew that there were a large number of enemies here and there was no food, they would definitely flee in the direction of the Glorious Empire.
If we lead a large force to pursue them now, we are afraid that we will not catch up with them until they reach the border. But if we don't pursue them, those people will just leave, and it will not be easy for Diao Si to convince the Latin Queen.
"Stop chasing. If we continue to chase, we will only reveal more information to the enemy." Looking at the invading birdmen in the sky, Diao Si stopped the troops who were about to chase them out of the woods.
There were a lot of birdmen in the invading army, probably because they could fly, so they escaped without any loss when Ruifeng City was trapped by fire. Now that the invading army has an obvious advantage in reconnaissance, Diao Si would be better off hiding in the woods.
"Now arrange for me to arrange a few elite birdmen to start from the northwest corner of the woods and go around to the north of Ruifeng City to see the situation at the border of the Glorious Empire. I believe that the Latin Queen's large army is already on the way."
After Diao Si gave the order, the general in charge immediately sent out several elite birdmen to conduct reconnaissance according to Diao Si's wishes. Because we have to start from the northwest of the woods, it will take a while, and it is not an easy task to complete.
Only a few hundred of the invading troops who escaped from the woods were left. They kept running in the direction of the large army, and they slowed down until they realized that there were no pursuers behind them.
It will take a while to get back to Ruifeng City. The invading army there has not done anything yet. They may just want to inquire about the situation in the woods from the soldiers who have escaped. But once Diao Si sends troops to pursue them, they will Must escape.
There are still many birdmen hovering in the sky. They are monitoring the situation in the woods. I believe that Diao Si's battle just now has allowed them to see a lot of information.
It seems that Diao Si has to accept the facts this time. He can only watch the remaining troops join the Latin Queen, or lose more than 100,000 soldiers in this way, which is enough to shock the Latin Queen. Diao Si has already convinced her The conditions and the deciding factor still lie with the Latin Queen.
Next, he must continue to use this forest to build a position like Ruifeng City, because if the Latin Queen is unwilling to retreat, the first target to attack will be them. (To be continued)
