The matter was quickly investigated and it turned out that Li Guang had led his troops to break through the formation, so it was not surprising.
"Who is Li Guang?" Jia Feng asked.
"The immortals live in seclusion in the mountains, detached from worldly affairs. All three armies that went to the Central Plains were defeated because they encountered Li Guang. A few days ago, our army suffered a defeat at Shimen Gou, also because we encountered Li Guang."
The Immortal Formation was breached today, thanks to Li Guang. This man will be a formidable enemy of the Immortals once he arrives at Hanyu Pass.
When facing him in the future, the immortal must be extremely cautious.
This time Jia Feng heard it clearly and couldn't help but let out a cold laugh:
"You brat, how dare you be so arrogant! You broke my great formation this time entirely because of the bomb in your hand. You won't be so lucky next time you encounter me."
Although Jia Feng said this, he began to be wary of Li Guang, or more precisely, he was wary of the bomb in Li Guang's hand.
However, Jia Feng was right. Li Guang was indeed able to break through Jia Feng's formation because he had bombs in his possession.
Moreover, Li Guang's victories in previous battles were also related to his use of bombs.
Jia Feng was a reclusive master, and Li Guang, though a warrior capable of defeating ten thousand men with his horse and spear, found strategy to be even more crucial on the battlefield.
Li Guang obtained Guiguzi's "Gu Chan Strategy," which can be said to be part of Guiguzi's true teachings. Whether he is a match for Jia Feng can only be determined when they meet on the battlefield.
After several days, neither side made any move, and the barbarian troops did not come out of their camp to challenge them. The people Li Guang sent out to gather information also returned one after another.
Li Guang was right; a master had indeed arrived in the barbarian camp. In addition to being skilled in troop deployment, he was also proficient in magic. This person was known as an immortal in the barbarian country.
This time, Li Guang broke through the formation, and the two had fought each other. Although Li Guang broke through the formation and caused heavy losses to the enemy soldiers, Li Guang knew in his heart that Jia Feng's military strategy was definitely superior to his own.
Since the enemy soldiers did not come to provoke us, it means that the other side is also unaware of our strength and has become cautious.
Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle. In order to fully understand the enemy, Li Guang used his telescope to observe the enemy camp.
The military camp of more than 200,000 people was like a huge city. With just a pair of binoculars, one could only see the general situation inside the camp and could not obtain more information about the enemy camp.
Perhaps only through careful observation can one discover some information about the barbarian camp. Even if Jia Feng were a god, he wouldn't know that he was using a telescope to observe the movements of the barbarian camp.
After observing for a period of time, Li Guang indeed discovered a problem. By observing the barbarian soldiers cooking their meals, he found that their three meals a day had become two meals a day, indicating that the barbarian soldiers' food supplies were seriously insufficient.
This situation is unusual for such a large military camp. Could it be that the barbarian soldiers are experiencing some kind of problem with their food supply?
With this in mind, Li Guang immediately returned to Hanyu Pass, summoned his generals and soldiers, and discussed countermeasures.
In the council hall, Li Guang described to everyone what he had seen in the barbarian camp and offered his opinion.
Everyone agreed with Li Guang's view and was also very pleased, believing that once the enemy camp ran out of food, it would fall into chaos without a fight.
"Judging from the situation in the barbarian camp, there are no signs of chaos, which means they are not worried about running out of food. Perhaps the supplies are already on their way and will arrive at the barbarian camp soon."
Yue Heng thought for a moment and said, "Marshal, shouldn't we think of a way to really cut off the enemy's food supply? That way, the enemy will fall into chaos without a fight."
"General Yue, do you have any good strategies to prevent the enemy troops from receiving their supplies?"
"As far as I know, the barbarian soldiers' provisions all come from the northern frontier. The northern frontier is an important town of the barbarian kingdom, heavily guarded. Although we cannot take the northern frontier, we can set up an ambush on the road leading from the northern frontier to the barbarian camp and burn their provisions. Once their food supply is cut off, the barbarian soldiers will surely fall into chaos."
"Northern frontier, Daoist master." Li Guang suddenly understood something.
Li Guang immediately issued the combat orders.
"Gu Huai, obey my command."
"Your subordinate is here."
"General Gu led 20,000 troops to challenge the barbarian army's camp. The purpose of this trip was only to attract the barbarian soldiers' attention, not to attack them. If they could capture a few ears, that would be even better."
"Your subordinate obeys." Gu Huai accepted the order and left.
"Yue Heng, obey my command."
"Your subordinate is here."
There is no more grain to be transferred from the northern frontier; the barbarian troops' supplies will only come from Wuling. General Yue led three thousand men to ambush the road leading from Wuling to the barbarian camp. Upon encountering any barbarian supplies, they were to be burned immediately.
"This subordinate obeys." Although Yue Heng had some doubts, he still accepted the order and left.
"The other soldiers are waiting in the city."
"Yes, sir!" the soldiers replied in unison.
The soldiers were puzzled by Li Guang's battle orders, wondering why he had Yue Heng intercept the enemy's supplies on the way to Wuling instead of on the way to the northern frontier.
Whether Li Guang's judgment was correct or not, we will only know when Yue Heng returns.
As for Gu Huai, after receiving the order, he mustered 20,000 troops and went to challenge the enemy camp.
Before long, the army arrived in front of the barbarian camp and set up their formation.
As the saying goes, "When the army reaches ten thousand, there is no bounds." A force of twenty thousand, arrayed in battle formation, can be described as magnificent.
When the enemy sent 20,000 troops to challenge them, the barbarian soldiers also sent 20,000 troops to confront them.
Gu Huai knew that the main purpose of sending troops was to bluff and attract the attention of the barbarian soldiers. Seeing that the enemy had set up their formation, he immediately sent his generals to challenge them.
The other side was not to be outdone and immediately sent their generals into battle. After exchanging names, the two generals began their fierce battle.
Both sides' generals took turns fighting, and neither side could gain the upper hand. When the battle was at a stalemate, Gu Huai ordered the drums to be beaten to boost morale.
Seeing that the enemy had started beating their war drums, the barbarian soldiers were not to be outdone and also started beating their war drums.
Immediately, war drums thundered on both sides of the battlefield, and the atmosphere was extremely intense.
When Li Guang came to fight the barbarian troops, he asked Gu Huai to take a few ears back with him. However, judging from the situation on both sides, it would be difficult to capture a barbarian general to take back as an ear.
It seems I'll have to take the field. I must capture one of the barbarian generals alive, no matter what, or I won't be able to explain myself.
Thinking of this, Gu Huai urged his horse forward and replaced his general. Upon seeing this, the other side also replaced their general.
Gu Huai sized up the approaching general. The man was thin and weak, holding two guns, and his eyes were darting around.
Judging from his appearance, this person is not very strong. Since he dared to go into battle, it means that his martial arts skills must be quite good.
"Please state your name."
“I am Hua Dao, a general of the Luo Kingdom. Who are you?”
"Your grandfather, Gu Huai, take this!" Gu Huai raised his gun and thrust.
Huadao raised his spear in one hand to block Gu Huai's spear, and then thrust his other spear at Li Guang, but Gu Huai dodged it.
During their battle, Gu Huai held back, not wanting to reveal his full strength, his goal being to capture Hua Dao alive.
