Chapter 28 The art of war and strategy! Mantis hunting cicada

"The Nine Thieves of Phantom Fog have always maintained the number of nine for several years. After the number is reduced, they will immediately increase their number, but there has been no increase. There must be some special reason."

"I can't figure out the reason for this at the moment, but I know that there are only nine of them, and it was not more than ten years ago that they passed through the Huanwu Mountain Range. Passes were set up at both the north and south entrances, and the official roads were cleared countless times. , caravans have figured out the rules of fog, and those who are not strong enough will form a team to pass."

"Under this situation, it is impossible for the Nine Thieves of Phantom Mist to rob whoever they want like before, not to mention that the government is still watching, so they will definitely focus on intelligence collection and determine suitable targets in the passes to avoid Unobjectionable plunder and danger.”

"And the person who collects information must be a confidant of the Nine Thieves of Phantom Mist, or even one of them."

"In addition, I also discovered that the Nine Phantom Mist Thieves will not take action as long as their numbers are reduced. They must move in an orderly manner with all nine of them."

"Assuming they agree to the Gallie and Oba tribes to ambush me, they will definitely send people to obtain our specific information."

"So from the moment we enter the border, we can send people to observe and lock the target."

"That person is most likely a member of the Nine Thieves. He will take a shortcut back after we leave the border."

Zhang Yuan's analysis was still echoing in his ears, and the man in black robe had inexplicable shock in his eyes.

Now, I don’t say that all of these inferences are correct, but they have been verified to be inseparable.

Zhang Yuan analyzed this information only from some intelligence actions and allowed him to successfully target a nine thieves. It can be said that he is very resourceful.

If Zhang Yuan knew what the man in black robe was thinking, he would only smile proudly instead of being complacent, because he just had a brilliant cultural background.

As an actor, he had also watched the famous Legend of Fish Selling before time travel. He kept in mind the truth that "the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish." He also followed the trend and bought a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War online. The merchant also thoughtfully gave him "Three Times" as a gift. "Sixteen Strategies" and "Guiguzi".

At that time, he seemed to have been beaten to death. He read the three books several times, but ended up traveling to Dou Qi Continent before he could try to use the knowledge in them. Maybe he was too excited.

When he broke through the visualization diagram of the Fighter's Awakening of the God of Thunder, and his soul power continued to grow stronger, he could clearly recall his past life memories, including this knowledge, which was one of the reasons why he joined the army.

The Dou Qi Continent is so big that there will naturally be no shortage of smart people, but almost no one studies the art of war, just like few people study technology.

Because in this world, you can practice fighting qi to gain extraordinary power, and you can combine great power into one body. Most people are busy practicing, and when they have time, they are also obsessed with studying exercises, fighting skills, increasing strength, etc.

This is a cultural and other development difference caused by different world backgrounds. People who believe in strength will only strengthen their belief that "all strategies are useless in the face of absolute strength."

Zhang Yuan also firmly believes in this. If he were Dou Emperor now, he would be able to deal with any coquettish bitch with just one slap.

But in the same realm, or when the realm difference is not big, strategies can smooth the gap or even surpass it.

Therefore, he never stopped learning, comprehending and applying knowledge such as Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-six Strategies in his previous life.

Naturally, we have to look further than many "reckless people".

"There should be no special powders or traps nearby, at least not with my strength."

A man in gray robe appeared next to the man in black robe and interrupted the latter's thoughts.

"In that case, we don't need to follow that person. We can just take the official road and catch up with Zhang Yuan as soon as possible." The man in black robe said.

"Ah?" The man in gray robe seemed a little surprised by the man in black robe's decision.

"I don't understand." The man in black robe chuckled and said: "The Nine Thieves of Phantom Mist can escape from the strongman Dou Wang. In addition to having the ability to move freely in the phantom fog, they must have a way to detect the enemy's location."

"Since this method is not medicine powder, we can't chase him, otherwise we may be discovered by that person and alert him."

Hearing this, the gray-robed man nodded and said, "That's it, Cheng. Thank you very much."

"It's all Zhang Yuan's analysis, I won't think so much." The man in black robe seemed to smile, and then said: "Then let's catch up through the official route."

There is nothing wrong with the gray-robed people.

The two of them summoned their mounts by various means and stepped onto the official road unhurriedly.

The Phantom Mist Mountains are shrouded in phantom fog, but the concentration of fog naturally varies in different locations.

In the deepest part of the mountains, the fog is so thick that you can't see your fingers. It is said that if a strong Dou Wang enters it, he may be disoriented and hallucinate in less than half an hour. If he is unlucky, he may be trapped inside and die.

But outside the mountains, the phantom mist is not that dense. Ordinary people may even feel refreshed after taking two puffs. Also, near places with water, the mist will not be that dense.

Most of the two official roads connecting the Huanwu Mountain Range are built along the river. If someone passes by the official road, they can often see wild beasts and magical beasts coming to drink water, and sometimes fights break out.

As for the part that does not follow the river, it is either to bypass the activity area of ​​powerful monster groups, or the river is too winding, so a straight path is opened directly.

And this part is often the most dangerous section of the official road in the Huanwu Mountain Range. Because you are not strong enough, you can easily fall into a psychedelic state, so you must pass quickly.

Experienced caravans traveling through it will find places to camp in front of these dangerous sections, adjust their condition before continuing.

However, since Zhang Yuan and his party were in a hurry, they naturally did not stop at all. The silver-horned black rhinoceros ran wildly along the official road, running thousands of miles in four hours without taking a breath. This was because the phantom fog blocked their sight and they did not dare to run too far. When it is fast, the endurance and speed of Warcraft are evident.

"ban!"

Seeing a huge rock sign in the mist ten feet away, Zhang Yuan pulled the reins and asked the silver-horned black rhino horse to lift its two front legs and brake suddenly, while raising his hand to signal the guards to stop.

"The next step is the last section, which is also the longest direct route to the official road. We go to the river to take Qingling Pill to adjust our breathing, and then set off again."

Qing Ling Dan is a first-grade elixir. Its effect is to detoxify and clear the abnormal state of the body. It cannot directly isolate the hallucination of the phantom mist, but it can adjust the body's state.

In fact, there are elixirs that can directly avoid the effects of the phantom mist, but they are of a higher grade and are very expensive. Few people will take such elixirs in order to travel through the phantom mist mountains.

Some people suggested raising funds for strong men to purchase this elixir to kill the Nine Thieves of Phantom Fog, but they gave up this idea after discovering that the Nine Thieves would continue to replenish it.

"Yes!"

A group of personal guards took the order and dismounted one after another to lead him.

"Whoosh!" X10

Just when Zhang Yuan dismounted, the sound of arrows piercing the air suddenly sounded.

He had already released the power of his soul, and immediately noticed something strange. He slapped the horse's back and jumped up high, while pointing his hand in one direction.

"Suck palm!"

Zhang Yuan used the Heavenly Thunder Technique, and the Dou Qi in the Dou Jing quickly gathered on his palms, and then separated from the body and turned into a whirlwind to spurt out. While blowing away the surrounding fog, it hit nine sharp arrows that supported the Dou Qi.

"come over!"

Zhang Yuan secretly exerted his strength, and the detached whirlwind directly carried nine arrows and flew towards him. However, when they approached, they were swallowed up and burned by the flames he waved casually.

The black-armored guards behind him were well-trained. When they discovered the situation, they drew their swords and gathered together to form a military formation. They looked around with vigilant eyes.

Zhang Yuan landed in front of the silver-horned black rhinoceros, looked at something coldly, and said calmly: "Are the nine thieves of the Phantom Mist just guys who can only hide their heads and show their tails?"
