Although no one said much, everyone knew that tonight would not be peaceful. Since there were deaths and disappearances for two consecutive nights, even if they sped up, they could only run a little further, but they would still be found by the enemy when they arrived at this camp.

With this mentality, everyone was naturally in a heavy mood. The whole camp became unusually quiet during meals. Occasionally, there was the sound of dishes colliding, which sounded unusually harsh.

As the commander, Lord Tao knew the mentality of the crowd, but his mood was not much better now.

He was not really a mediocre person. Some things were not thought through clearly at the time, but they would be noticed after careful consideration. It was just that they stood at different angles, so he could not discern the whole thing as quickly as Zuo Feng.

After all, Zuo Feng was a bystander, and the enemy was also coming for him, so Zuo Feng could grasp the context a little more clearly. Even after analysis, Zuo Feng could guess the identity of the person.

General Tao was not as clear about the identity of the visitor as Zuo Feng was, but he was constantly thinking about it during the day's journey. But the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his original decision had made a serious mistake.

Since the enemy dared to attack his own people, it meant that they did not have too deep concerns about them, and the next action also showed that they had a detailed plan. Such people might not be solved by more than a hundred of them, and they would become rootless duckweed, drifting with the flow and unable to control their own destiny if they were far away from Linshan County City.

He also considered Zuo Feng's idea that he seemed to want to say but did not say it. At that time, he should have wanted to persuade him to turn around and return. However, he stopped the three deputy generals at that time, and also stopped him from continuing to speak.

It was a little too late to regret it now, because they were so busy that they had already walked the normal three-day journey in three days. At this time, there was still a long distance from Linshan County City, and no matter what happened here, Linshan County City would not know.

And the journey forward was even longer. Even if it was faster than the current forward speed, it would take at least seven or eight days to get out of this deep forest.

There are almost no villages in the Spiritual Medicine Mountains, because it is difficult to build a human living environment under the harassment of wild beasts and demons. Linshan County City is also a special city that was left behind mysteriously at the beginning, and it was only built with countless manpower and material resources later.

Even if there are some villages in this forest, they are all on the edge of the Spiritual Medicine Mountains, and they are very far away from them.

At present, they have no choice but to move forward and flee back to Linshan County City at all costs. But even if they put aside those unknown enemies, if he cannot successfully escort Zuo Feng and Hua Qi to the imperial capital, it will still be a dead end. Thinking about it, General Tao no longer has any appetite.

Just after dinner, General Tao called the three deputy generals and issued a series of orders. The three deputies were not sure at first, but after listening to the arrangements of the general, they gained some confidence.

Zuo Feng and Amber also finished their meal early, and then they observed around the camp. They originally planned to see the situation around them so that they could respond flexibly. But he happened to see the order issued by General Tao, which made all the people in the camp move.

They started digging under the ground around the camp, and thick wooden stakes that were difficult for one person to hug emerged from the ground. It seemed that they were originally buried here.

This place was originally the location of the garrison camp designated in case of distress, so it was not surprising to have such wooden stakes. Obviously, this place was reserved for military garrisons, and some measures had been taken before.

These wooden stakes were of the same length and thickness, and each one was a piece of old ironwood. This kind of wood is very solid, and it will not rot for many years even if buried in the soil. It is hard to imagine that someone cut down so many ironwoods and left them here.

After many soldiers were busy for more than an hour, they erected a wooden fence outside the camp. Although it was not as solid as the city wall, it was at least a line of defense.

Zuo Feng just sighed after seeing this. Amber knew what he was thinking, so naturally he didn't say much.

Such defense was obviously left for the safety of the army when it was stationed, but the premise is that these defense measures are reserved for wild beasts and wild beasts. What they are facing now is not some magic beasts and wild beasts, but a group of warriors with equally good combat effectiveness, so such defense seems a bit weak.

But it is better than nothing. After observing the camp, Zuo Feng took Amber back to his tent.

After returning to the tent, Zuo Feng sat cross-legged on the ground and took out a dagger to draw on the ground. If you look closely, you will find that what he depicted is the environment around the camp here.

Although he only walked around the camp, watching Zuo Feng waving a short blade and depicting the mountains and rivers of the auxiliary police, this memory still surprised Amber. He knows a lot about Zuo Feng, but he didn't know that Zuo Feng had such a skill in this regard.

When he arrived at the last flat space on the top of the mountain, this was where Zuo Feng was at the moment. After depicting the situation in the camp, Zuo Feng inserted the dagger into the ground beside him and looked up at Amber.

"If I were them, I would have acted tonight. We are far away from Linshan County now, and I believe they have noticed that we have not established contact with Linshan County."

Speaking of this, Zuo Feng's brows could not help but frown slightly. This General Tao seemed too conceited. Facing such a dangerous situation in the Spiritual Medicine Mountain Range. When faced with such a big thing as an enemy sneak attack, he actually only sent two people back to report.

If the person who reported the news returned, it would be fine, but there has been no news from Linshan County so far, so there can only be one result, that is, the person who reported the news was killed together with those people.

Amber looked at the surrounding environment depicted on the ground and said, "Since they have already secured a victory over us, then continuing to weaken our strength is the first choice at the moment. But why did you say that they would attack tonight? Wouldn't it be a head-on confrontation soon?

It's too unwise for them to do this, because they chose to gradually eat us away after their previous sneak attack failed, so they should continue with this strategy, right?"

Zuo Feng glanced at the surrounding environment, and finally his eyes fell on the camp in the center of the picture, and said, "Originally they would have this plan, but now it seems that they are bound to carry out this raid because someone is forcing them to take action."

After hearing Zuo Feng's words, Amber suddenly felt a little confused, because he didn't understand why these people's actions were forced.

Seeing that the other party didn't understand, Zuo Feng stretched out a finger and pointed at several locations in the camp. His finger would pause slightly at each location, and then quickly move to another location.

At first, Amber still frowned and didn't understand the meaning at all, but the more he looked at his brows, the more he relaxed. Soon he opened his mouth slightly, and when Zuo Feng retracted his fingers, he blurted out: "General Tao, he is leaving tonight."

Nodding with a smile, Zuo Feng said: "That's right, this stop he planned is actually his last gamble, and success or failure cannot be judged at the moment."

Amber pointed to the location of the camp on the ground and said: "His layout is very clever. The camp is arranged in the direction close to the front road, but the strong people are all left on the retreat. I didn't understand why he wanted to separate the warriors with different strengths. Now it seems that this guy should be preparing for escape.

But this guy is also cruel. He sent half of the people away to add to his life, and then used the other half to fight to break through. This is really a big deal. In this way, the camp he prepared is actually to create confusion, making people think that he is going to defend this place to the death."

Zuo Feng nodded and said: "This should be one of his purposes. Another purpose is to prevent people inside and outside from communicating. He only believes that there are spies in this camp now, so he uses this fence to separate it from the outside world. It seems to be defending the outside world, and at the same time he also wants to prevent people inside from passing on the situation in the camp. "

"It seems that this Chief General Tao is not a complete fool. He can think of this strategy in such a situation, and he is a talented general. "

Zuo Feng sneered and nodded, saying: "How could he be a complete fool to be able to climb to his position in a place like Linshan County? But his thinking is too limited, and this method is probably only he can think of. If it were me, I would choose to break out in a dispersed manner, and everyone would change into the same clothes, and split into groups to leave in pieces. "

After listening, Amber said: "The enemy can't figure out which of these people who are heading to Linshan County, the imperial capital, and even the depths of the Spiritual Medicine Mountain Range is their target, and they will inevitably be in a hurry.

However, Chief General Tao doesn't dare to use this method, because he doesn't want to gamble with his own life and property, and if he can't find the traitor, all the actions will be in vain. "

At this moment, suddenly there was a heart-wrenching scream outside the camp. The moment this voice sounded, shouts, yells, and curses began to sound one after another.

Zuo Feng and Amber raised their heads at the same time, and there was a slight light flashing in their eyes, and there was indeed no fear at all.

Pulling Amber who was about to rush out, Zuo Feng pointed to a place on the ground and said: "If there is a big chaos in a while, we must follow them to break out, but if we encounter interception, we must go in this direction."

At this time, the voices outside became even louder. Obviously, the battle had begun. This time, the enemy did not attack quietly but attacked openly. A big battle was inevitable.
