This camp was indeed unable to withstand Ye Li's attack. The main force in the camp had already left here and went to rescue as quickly as possible after the distress signal was sent out from the low-lying camp.
The remaining people were the same as before, only less than a hundred people. They didn't even last a single round under the artillery regiment's soul-gathering cannons before they completely collapsed.
A signal firework rose into the sky. The enemy who had just gone to the low-lying area for rescue also saw the rising firework and immediately understood the purpose of the artillery regiment. They quickly turned around and rushed towards the source of the firework.
When the artillery regiment cleared the enemies in front and broke through the enemy's camp and advanced towards the depths of the Fulong Mountains, more than three troops with a total of about 1,300 people had already caught up with them, following the traces left by the artillery regiment in a huge momentum.
After running for a while, Ye Li's artillery regiment sent out five scouts to spread out in all directions to investigate the situation nearby, while their artillery regiment rested in front of a mountain road.
Before they could rest enough, the scouts who were investigating the situation in the back had already rushed back and said in a panic: "Commander, there is a large group of more than a thousand people chasing us, and they are approaching us!!!
I guess they followed the few tracks we left behind. Even though we had bandaged the horseshoes, the wheel tracks were shallow, but this area had recently rained, and the soil was soft, so it was impossible for there to be no tracks at all."
When Ye Li heard this, his expression did not show any worry. Instead, he showed a meaningful smile.
"It's good for them to catch up. If they don't, what's the point of us leaving traces behind?"
Ye Li stood up after he finished speaking, jumped onto the horse's back, and shouted to everyone, "Everyone, get on the horse, the enemy is catching up, let's run faster and get to the front to prepare a surprise for them.
I just looked at the map. There is a valley with a large drop in elevation ahead. If we run faster, we should be able to get down to the valley before they catch up. Let's go there first and prepare."
At Ye Li's command, the faces of the men in the artillery regiment brightened, and they immediately jumped on their horses, following closely behind Ye Li and continuing to advance forward.
After the previous few raids, the artillery regiment's trust in Ye Li increased a lot. After all, Ye Li's tactical arrangements were perfect, and he easily broke through the opponent's encirclement and entered the depths of the Fulong Mountains.
Now a large group of enemies were tracking them from behind. When everyone thought that there was trouble, Ye Li acted as if he was confident, as if everything was within his expectations and calculations.
Ye Li led everyone and ran wildly in one direction. Having carefully studied the map, Ye Li was not worried about getting lost, because he knew that the place he was going was right in front of him.
As they walked, Kai Diwen came up and said to Ye Li, "Master, I have found the people you asked me to find just now. There are seven people in total who can use the spell you just mentioned.
Of course, the spells some of them use may not be exactly the same as what you said, but they are basically the same type, so they should be able to be used.
By the way, Master, what do you want to do with these people who can perform water magic?"
Ye Li smiled mysteriously and said, "The valley ahead is where we are going. You will know after we go down."
After Ye Li finished speaking, he shouted behind him: "Everyone speed up and get down to the bottom of the valley quickly!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Li urged the horse again, rushed into the mountain path at the fastest speed, and galloped down towards the valley.
… … … …
The Jinde Empire, together with the barbarian Quesat tribe and another force, were chasing behind the artillery regiment. They were inevitably shocked that the enemy was able to break through their double encirclement.
And after exchanging intelligence, they also learned that the artillery regiment would actually possess the Soul Gathering Cannon, a mysterious power that was clearly only possessed by the Jinde Empire.
The coalition forces of the Jinde Empire had no idea where the troops of the Farant Empire had obtained this mysterious weapon.
"How can their speed be so fast? We have been chasing them at the fastest speed and we still can't catch up!!"
An officer from the Jinde Empire complained with a puzzled look on his face.
A barbarian said, "The hoof prints here are very fresh, much fresher than before. We should get closer to them."
"There's a valley ahead. Oh, I know where it is. There's a thin slit in the sky. Haha, they've taken the wrong path. We can't move quickly there. If we move faster, as long as we get down the valley, they won't be able to escape."
After running two more steps, the officer of the Jinde Empire immediately discovered the change in the terrain ahead, and immediately recognized this place, with excitement showing on his face.
"It's difficult for them to run away quickly, and we can't run fast either. The road down to the narrow passage is too steep, and if we run too fast we will fall directly down.
A few of us can barely stay aloft, what about the others?"
The barbarian spoke up.
The officer of the Jinde Empire said: "War is bound to result in death. Now that we are here, no one is afraid of death.
The enemy is not far below, and I don't want to let them get away.
The higher-ups have issued orders long ago that any enemy that enters this area must be killed, and not a single one can be left alive."
After saying this, he didn't wait for the barbarians to say anything else, but shouted to the crowd behind him, "Speed up!", then he increased his running speed and rushed down the valley.
After receiving the order, the team of about a thousand people at the back were a little worried about the dangerous terrain ahead, but as soldiers they had no choice but to retreat and could only follow the officers in front and move forward bravely.
All the thousand people rushed into the mountain path and rushed towards the valley. Suddenly, hundreds of spiritual lights flashed at the bottom of the valley which was originally empty.
These flickering spiritual lights come not only from the spirit gathering cannon, but also from various talismans.
The violent fluctuation of spiritual energy quickly tore apart the illusion of the void, and an army of 500 people appeared at the bottom of the valley.
Their sudden appearance caused the Jinde Empire coalition forces, which had just rushed up the mountain road, to change their expressions drastically.
"Damn it, this is a trap, they deliberately lured us here!!!"
The officer of the Jindi Empire, who had just been full of excitement, suddenly showed panic on his face. For the first time, he realized that he was not a hunter chasing the opponent, but the prey that the opponent was waiting to fall into the trap.
On the narrow mountain road, more than a thousand people crowded together and occupied a quarter of the road, standing nearly a hundred meters above the ground. At this time, it was difficult for them to retreat back to the road, and they could not quickly rush to the bottom of the valley. They were completely in a situation where they could not advance or retreat.
