At the same time, at the moment when the enemy's Soul Gathering Cannon was launched towards the front, the second team took the opportunity to rush out and set up the Soul Gathering Cannon on the ground at the high speed used in the exercise.
Their attack was launched quickly. Before the enemy could turn around its defense, they launched a covering strike at the opponent's gathered spirit cannons.
The enemies responsible for controlling the Soul Gathering Cannon were relatively weak. Without the help of their companions, they had no defensive ability at all and fell down in an instant.
After the second team completed one round of attack, they prepared for the second round of attack, and the people responsible for defense also set up defenses to prevent being injured by possible attacks from the enemy.
Ye Li's first team turned around the moment their side launched a flank attack. When they saw that part of the enemy's defensive personnel had turned to the right, they immediately returned to their previous position.
He used the defensive spell immediately to block a few sparse attacks from the Soul Gathering Cannon, and then he completed the setup of his own Soul Gathering Cannon.
Another round of joint bombardment, coordinated with the second attack from the side, was launched simultaneously, and the enemy troops in the depression suffered huge casualties.
Of the army of more than 400 people, only about 100 were left intact after just a few rounds of soul-gathering cannon attacks from Ye Liyi's front side. The rest were half dead or wounded, and were simply unable to fight again.
Ye Li's tactical thinking was very clear. After seeing that the enemy had narrowed their defense circle and no longer chose to attack but only chose to defend together, they did not plan to attack the enemy anymore, but turned around and began to evacuate as planned.
All the people on the front battlefield turned around and retreated for a distance, then ran towards the right side of the depression to meet the second team of troops withdrawing in an arc from the right side of the depression.
The two men retreated to a far distance behind the right side of the depression before they stopped and stayed in a forest without making any sound.
Shortly after they stopped, a series of footsteps were heard in the woods not far ahead, and another enemy troop ran over with horses neighing and men roaring.
However, because Ye Li and the others hid in the forest and did not make any noise, the other party did not discover them at all in the dark night.
The enemy's full attention was on the troops who sent out the distress signal, and they rushed over in a hurry. After the enemy went far away, Ye Li said to everyone: "The enemy's encirclement has loosened now. The disadvantage of their net-pulling operation is that once a point is attacked, the surrounding points will rush to rescue, and the net opening will expand, giving us a chance to get in.
We immediately moved a distance to the right and entered the interior of the Fulong Mountains from the area where the enemy team was stationed.
I estimate that even if the enemies stationed in that area have not all come out, there are only a few left. If we rush over and attack with a round of soul-gathering cannons, we should be able to kill them all and forcibly pull out this nail and attack in.
After the enemy's first layer of defense was breached, the second layer should have also gone to support the camp that just sent the signal. There can't be many enemies holding back in front of us. The entire area is a blank zone. This is our chance to advance."
After Ye Li analyzed the situation, he waited for a moment and immediately gave orders for everyone to act in unison. After coming out of the forest, they rushed towards the enemy garrison area that had just appeared from the right and ran over to support the depression.
Sure enough, when they quickly arrived in front of the enemy camp, they saw that there were only a small number of people stationed there. From a distance, there might be less than a hundred people.
Ye Li immediately ordered a "strong attack", and five hundred people immediately set up defenses. Two hundred and fifty-five spirit-gathering cannons were placed in front of the enemy. After a round of simultaneous bombardment, most of the garrison of less than a hundred people were immediately killed or wounded.
For the Jinde Empire, this was the first time they had experienced the pain of being attacked by the Soul Gathering Cannon. For many years in the past, they had been making others feel this kind of shock.
This army was unable to defend itself, and the remaining survivors chose to flee in all directions after setting off a firework.
Seeing the fireworks from the other side, Ye Li said: "Everyone stop attacking, we will move forward immediately, and rush into the interior of the Fulong Mountains before the other side's encirclement closes!!!"
His order was quickly passed down, and all the men in the artillery regiment immediately stopped the attack, re-mounted the spirit gathering cannon, then mounted their horses and rushed forward with Ye Li.
They were moving very fast and directly crushed the enemy's camp, then moved in a straight line towards the depths of the Fulong Mountains.
Not long after they left, two local troops of about 700 people gathered together. The remaining dozen or so enemy remnants who had just escaped also hurried over to report the battle situation to the two troops.
When they heard that a mysterious army from the Farant Empire had attacked here with soul-gathering cannons and rushed into the depths of the Fulong Mountains, everyone's face showed an expression of disbelief.
"How is it possible? How could the Farant Empire have a Soul Gathering Cannon? Isn't this a secret of our country? Could someone have leaked it?!"
An officer from the Jinde Empire spoke in great surprise, but no one could answer his question. Everyone was equally confused.
"Tony, don't worry about how they got the Soul Gathering Cannon, our mission now is to find them.
You see, they have left quite a few traces on the ground. I guess they haven't gone far. If we chase them together, we may be able to catch up with them.
They may have grasped the location of the enemy's key personnel in the Fulong Mountains. We follow the trail and chase them. Once we find the king of the Farant Empire and others, it will be a great achievement."
Another officer spoke up, and his words made the man's eyes light up.
"Yes, why didn't I think of that? But we must send a signal and ask others to cooperate. Let's push forward together. If the enemy really has a Soul Gathering Cannon, after joining forces with the remaining troops in the mountains, their strength will become very strong. We can't stop them with just our two troops. We need others to surround them together."
Said the first officer who spoke.
After some discussion, the two led the two teams and chased towards the depths of the Fulong Mountains along the shallow wheel marks left by Ye Li and the others.
At this time, Ye Li and others quickly arrived at the second encirclement after breaking through the first encirclement. Thanks to the rough map drawn by the scouts, they had found a camp in the opponent's second encirclement.
This camp is the closest to the depression they attacked for the first time, and it is also the place Ye Li deliberately chose, because the large enemy force here may have gone to support the depression and has no time to return to defend. There may be very few people left stationed in the camp, which is very suitable for a quick breakthrough.
