Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 350 The Master Of Stratagem

"Five hundred? You must be kidding. Does the Crimson Dragon Army envisage to utilize fivehundred soldiers to brawl against my two military camps with more than ten thousand soldiers? Dothey look down upon me? Are you free from ambiguity there are only five hundred soldiers?"Commander Zuo raised his voice as he stood up abruptly. His facial expression displayed outrage,with all guns blazing for being treated with hatred. Fires of fury and hatred were smoldering in thesmall, narrowed eyes.

"I'm sanguine. They have only five hundred soldiers.” The Deputy Commander wearing a yellowrobe nodded weakly.

"Despite the Crimson Dragon Army being fragile, they shouldn't consign just five hundred soldiers. Iguess this is a setup. They contemplate in sounding out our military burliness.” Commander Zuoanalyzed while his eyes turning around, and again he sat down. After pondering over the matter, heproceeded, "Lead two thousand soldiers and a squad of spirit manipulators to apprehend the fivehundred soldiers and take them back to oppression. I demand to know the exact sum of soldierssent by the Crimson Dragon Army."

"Yes. Should I mention the mission to Commander Zhou?" the Deputy Commander in yellowinquired, saluting to Commander Zuo.

"Are you numbskull? Do you want Commander Zhou to take my credit? With the military strengthof my two military camps, even if they have thousands of soldiers, I could tackle them!" CommanderZuo caterwauled, giving bloodthirsty gawk to the Deputy Commander in yellow.

The Deputy Commander in yellow, lowering his head and bowing down, abruptly turned away.Promptly, the Deputy Commander in yellow took two thousand soldiers and a team of spiritmanipulators, got out of the military camp and with overwhelming momentum, went like a bat outhell towards the five hundred soldiers led by Rocky marching towards the Rough Slope."Commander Rocky, rival armies showed up in front of us,” the soldier that walked foremostreported when he saw a dark mass of figures charging at them and came back to Rocky.

"How many are they?" Rocky inquired.

"About two thousand."

"Just two thousand? That's not a significant number. Well, let's draw them away,” Rocky said with hiseyebrows lifting. Then he waved his hand and bellowed his lungs out. "Everyone, retreat! Cast awayyour helmets and weapons. Tell them nothing matters to us except saving our skin."

After Rocky issued the order, he led the five hundred soldiers to pull back towards the right side ofthe mountain ridge, purporting to run like sheep.

When the Deputy Commander in yellow showed up, merely to encounter the five hundred soldiersbacking down to the right side of the mountain ridge like deserters. He drew them for the smalltroop dispatched to scrutinize the way. Therefore, without procrastination, he headed his men totrail after them.

Meanwhile, the five hundred soldiers headed by Rocky had appeared at the gentle slope at the rightside of the mountain ridge. On the spot, they waved a flag to signal the army waiting on the gentleslope.

Setting their eyes on the signal, all the spirit-manipulated beasts of the teams of spirit manipulatorsstarted to drive the hundreds of horses in the army. Out of heebie-jeebies, they ran helter-skelter ina great hurry like a torrent through a strait on the gentle slope in a crease. In an instant, a massivecloud of dust rose on it.

Then the one thousand soldiers there also shuttled back and forth in the dust, hollering vehemently.Besides, seven to eight spirit manipulators displayed the spiritual martial arts to violently shoot theground, sand, and stones splashing as if there were hordes of troops and horses.

When the two thousand soldiers and the team of spirit manipulators led by the Deputy Commanderin yellow arrived at the gentle slope, sweat trickled down their backs, free-flowing like condensationon a windowpane, it beaded on their forehead and dripped from their chins as they supposed thatthe Crimson Dragon Army had sent tens of thousands of soldiers.

"Move and instruct Commander Zuo and propose to him to deliver reinforcements here..." theDeputy Commander in yellow commanded. He didn't pluck up the fortitude to retreat for being in ablue funk that they would be encircled unaware, so he found a defensive place to wait for thereinforcements

Since the rival had been taken in, Rocky led the five hundred soldiers and went in a roundabout wayto join another five hundred men convoying army provisions.

Before long, the Commander Zuo was notified that the Crimson Dragon Army had issued tens ofthousands of soldiers to attack the Rough Slope. He turned serious at once and dispatched fivethousand soldiers from the right military camp to support the Deputy Commander in yellow at thegentle slope, while the three thousand soldiers of the left military camp would remain to safeguardthe highland.

"I perceive the Timber Deity Empire won't assign all their men. Fortunately, I have a plan in reserve.”Rocky muttered to himself in cold eyes, an evil smile creeping in the corner of his lips.

After that, like before, Rocky led the army of about a thousand soldiers and army provisions toimpose a deceptive front to break through the Rough Slope to get to the place where their militarycamps were stationed.

When Commander Zuo who led the rest three thousand soldiers in the left military camp at eastside perceived that an army of the Crimson Dragon Group was marching towards the Rough Slopewith army provisions, he burst into a glee. "I know it is their trick to make us flee our base. Their realpurpose is to escort army provisions to their military camp at the Rough Slope. Humph. How darethey make a progress under my nose with only a thousand soldiers? Let me take command inperson to wipe them out unawares."

With no man left at the highland, Commander Zuo immediately assembled all the three thousandsoldiers of the left military camp and confronted the army led by Rocky. During the dog fight, Rockyled the three hundred soldiers escorting army provisions to retreat to the grove at the left side ofthe mountain ridge, ruled the other hundreds of soldiers to withdraw to the right side of the gentleslope to meet with the army cooling their heels there.

Discerning their movements, Commander Zuo branched out the second thousand soldiers into twocolumns to chase after Rocky to loot the army provisions. He sensed once they looted the armyprovisions, the Crimson Dragon Army would fail to make the final effort.

In a short while, the three hundred soldiers and the army provisions had entered the grove atRocky's command.

At the point, the second thousand soldiers led by Commander Zuo also swarmed into the grove.The grove was crowded with people instantaneously.

"The beer and skittles commence!" Rocky chortled as he gave a signal.

After a second, several high heaps of firewood in a dash were ignited, smoke smudge produced. Inthe gale, the smoke smudge floated into the grove.

A moment afterward, the grove was shrouded in smoke fog.

Commander Zuo supposed that there were ambushes, so he gathered the two columns of soldiers.In this way, the grove was filled with a dense mass of soldiers of the Timber Deity Empire.

All of a sudden, the trees and leaves around them shuddering, figures scurrying around, imaginaryfears bedeviled them.

"The men from the Timber Deity Empire, listen. Now you have been sieged. Put down your weaponsand take off your pants, or we will shoot arrows to kill you all." At the point, a poke mullock voicebecame apparent.

"Commander, what measures should we undertake?" a Deputy Commander beside Commander Zuoasked.

"What else can we do? Can't you make good use of your eyes and see that we are in an ambush?"Commander Zuo shouted while making a glare at the Deputy Commander, and he bellowed, "Damnit. I never predicted that the Crimson Dragon Army would assign more than tens of thousands ofsoldiers to charge our two military camps on the east side. I should have instructed CommanderZhou to take up the cudgels for us.”

"Make it fast. Put down your weapons and take off your pants, or this will be your fate,”

Rocky shouted. Wee! Several formidable arrows were shot into the grove, a few soldiers of theTimber Deity Empire tumbling down.

Witnessing the collapse of their comrades, the soldiers were all frightened as a duck being shot outof the sky. The morale of the army of the Timber Deity Empire began to slump. The soldiers turnedghostly pale at the figures sieging them, gradually losing their fighting spirit. Many of them startedto put down their weapons and even take off their pants.

Commander Zuo, still reeling in his opinion, whose head was in a cold sweat, was reluctant to giveup resistance and to be seized without putting up a fight.
