Although the Peacock Clan's army was large in number, their marching speed was very fast. They seemed to have a very special secret method. In the large group of people, groups of wind-like spiritual energy surged up and finally spread to all the soldiers in the entire legion.
These wind-blown spiritual energies were like a huge rune formation, covering the four thousand people and causing them to speed up instantly, gradually moving closer to the two thousand people fleeing in front.
There was also a group of archers in the team, wearing fiery red armor, constantly shooting arrows.
The flaming arrows streaked across the sky like falling meteors and landed accurately among the fleeing team in front.
The arrows exploded, and the powerful fire stream instantly burned many people. The impact force made many soldiers run around.
The collision between these soldiers slowed down the speed of the entire team, and the distance between the two sides began to gradually narrow.
Seeing this situation, the leader of the 2,000-person team showed a look of worry on his face.
They were indeed tasked with luring the enemy deep into their territory, and being attacked and pursued by the enemy was also part of their plan. However, if the enemy's attack came too swiftly and the speed of pursuit was too fast, then their mission would most likely fail, or they would barely succeed at the cost of extremely heavy losses.
If there are only a few of the two thousand men left, then by the time they meet up with the ambush troops, their total strength will be less than five thousand. If they really confront the pursuers behind them, they may not be able to gain the upper hand.
"Speed up, the enemy's attack is fierce, we don't need to hold back!!!"
After calling out to the bait troops, the two thousand men immediately ran at full speed towards the preset ambush site.
During the chase and escape, the team of two thousand people was constantly attacked and gradually lost manpower.
By the time they were about to reach the preset ambush point, the team of 2,000 people had been reduced to nearly 400 people.
At the same time, the Peacock Clan's troops attacking Dongfang County also arrived at their planned ambush site, and the bait troops sent by Ye Li were gradually approaching them.
Just after Ye Li's bait troops entered the enemy's ambush circle, the people of the Peacock Clan immediately rushed out from their hiding places, ready to attack the escort team.
The members of the escort team threw the cart carrying the mixed iron lapis lazuli to the ground without any hesitation, then turned around and ran away.
Of course, before escaping, they did not forget to take the three most "valuable" cars in the convoy.
"Hey, these guys have learned their lesson. A lot of people died last time but they still couldn't stop us. This time, seeing that we have more people, they simply didn't resist!!!"
Du Wenshan said with a look of sarcasm on his face.
His team quickly rushed ahead of the other carriages and found that they were all loaded with mixed iron lapis lazuli. They also noticed that there were several carriages among the bait troops. It was obvious that the most valuable things were still in the hands of the other party.
As the saying goes, money can move people's hearts. Du Wenshan's greed has been completely aroused by the actions of the bait troops.
In his opinion, the ambush site they had preset was just right to cut off the enemy's retreat, so now the escort team could not run back at all and could only continue to move forward, thus preventing the possibility of them attracting reinforcements.
"Hey, we can't let those guys go. The three carriages they are driving are the most valuable. Let's go and grab all these things.
The defenders of this Dongfang County are all useless and have little fighting ability!"
Greedy as he was, Du Wenshan had already begun to underestimate the enemy's strength in his mind. Only in this way could he catch up with him as a matter of course.
A large army of about 3,000 people followed the escort and chased after them without any hesitation.
The leader of the escort team is Zhang Hua, who is feeling a little anxious at the moment.
After all, among his two thousand men, about five hundred were just ordinary people without any combat capabilities.
What's more, the other side has more people than him, and their actual combat power can almost crush him.
The task he received was to lead the opponent in circles and hold him back in a pre-planned manner.
When the other party stops chasing them and chooses to return to the city, they will turn around and follow them from a distance.
Just as the escort team was dragging Du Wenshan around in circles, the bait troops from Juxin City finally lured the enemy behind them into an ambush.
When the two thousand ambush troops from Juxin City rushed out first, Du Qing showed an extremely sarcastic smile on his face.
"Hahaha, Liu Boshan, I think you are really stupid. Do you think I don't know that you have an ambush
But what can your two thousand talisman soldiers do to me? I have already guessed your plan. You have fewer people than me now, so why don’t we just fight to the death here!”
Du Qing looked at Liu Boshan in the distance, laughed and shouted, his voice reaching Liu Boshan's ears very clearly.
Upon hearing this, Liu Boshan showed a look of resentment on his face and said, "Du Qing, your Peacock Clan has oppressed our families for hundreds of years, and we have so many new and old grudges.
Today we have mobilized our entire army, and we have no intention of returning alive. Let us fight to the death here!!!"
Following Liu Boshan's shout, the two teams, nearly four thousand people, rushed towards Du Qing's team with determination on their faces.
The armies of both sides were entangled with each other in an instant and started fighting.
Du Qing sneered at Liu Boshan and said, "Liu Boshan, if you are brave enough, go out and fight!
If you had submitted to me earlier, we wouldn't have come to this point today. Let's settle our grievances today!"
Du Qing called out to Du Lingxi and asked Du Lingxi to command the army on his behalf. He then waved to Liu Boshan, and the two of them quickly left the legion and went to the periphery to prepare for a single battle.
At the moment the two men left the legion, Ye Li had already led his 2,000-man army out from behind the enemy and launched a massive charge, like a sharp knife, stabbing towards the back of the Peacock Clan.
His sudden appearance finally caused some panic on the faces of the Peacock Clan. Du Lingxi looked behind him and found that the troops behind them were actually troops flying the flag of Dongfang County.
At this moment, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, it seemed that they were being plotted against.
Du Qing in the distance looked at the sudden appearance of a group of 2,000 people with a grim face. He never expected that he would eventually be tricked by someone.
Their 4,000 men were now stuck with the Juxin City's army, and could not separate in a short period of time even if they wanted to retreat. After being attacked from behind by Ye Li and his men, the army formation collapsed almost instantly.
The Peacock Clan was unable to fight enemies on two fronts at the same time, and suffered heavy casualties.
