Chapter 55 Capturing the Thief and Capturing the King
Another battlefield
"General, the small group of aliens in Luofengpo has been wiped out again!"
"Oh," Li Jin, who was looking at the battle map, hummed indifferently, indicating that he understood. With so many generals in Datong, it was not surprising to send a few younger generations to train and pick up some scraps, as long as it did not affect the overall situation.
They were given the small shrimps and crabs, as long as the big fish were still in their nets.
But thinking about this team that has been elusive lately, and always able to attack accurately and hit the target, he still asked one more question out of concern, "By the way, is Jie Li still on the team?"
It doesn’t matter if these younger generations pick up the small shrimps, but it would be a joke if they took away the big fishes.
I don't know which kid this is, how can he be so capable?
Li Jin asked this question unconsciously, and he was stunned after asking it. Then he shook his head with amusement. Did he think too highly of these guys? They surrounded this place, so how could they steal the heads?
It can't be possible that the big fish Jie Li slipped out of the net, right?
"Yes, General, Jie Li Khan is still here." The soldier who reported back answered respectfully. His obvious attire could be seen from a long distance, how could he not be here?
Li Jin nodded and turned his attention back to the battle map. Although the battle was already decided, the remaining remnants of the army could not be taken lightly. After all, it was our battlefield, and internal warfare could cause an impact on the inland if we were not careful.
"Let's prepare for the final round of closure! It's time to end this farce!"
"Yes!" The soldier's voice was full of excitement, and he hurried to transmit the order.

On another battlefield
Shen Minghui's team is also acting quietly.
"Sir, are they our target this time?" Tian Heng asked puzzledly, looking at the shrimp soldiers and crab generals who were resting in the distance.
Shen Minghui's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the soldiers who were resting in the distance, and then nodded slowly.
"Yes, Tian Heng, they are our target." Shen Minghui's voice was calm and firm, like a stabilizing force, stabilizing everyone in the team.
Tian Heng squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out. He could only ask again: "But sir, these are just some ordinary soldiers. They don't look special."
Shen Minghui turned his head and looked at Tian Heng, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He knew that his recent successes in anticipating the enemy and winning battles thousands of miles away had made Tian Heng completely regard him as the reincarnation of Zhang Liang and worship him crazily.
Asking such a question at this time is just to not miss any opportunity to learn.
Shen Minghui nodded in appreciation: Not bad, he is brave in combat and good at thinking and learning. He will definitely be an invaluable helper in the future when he grows up.
Shen Minghui was still happy to instruct such people, and said, "Tian Heng, you only see the surface." He pointed at the soldiers not far away, "Although those soldiers are resting, they are very alert. Moreover, they are not our real target."
"The real goal?" Tian Heng frowned even more tightly.
Shen Minghui smiled slightly. He did not directly answer Tian Heng's question, but raised his hand and pointed in a direction: "Look over there, do you find anything unusual?"
Tian Heng looked in the direction of Shen Minghui's finger and saw a few figures over there. They looked ordinary, but after Shen Minghui's reminder, he took a closer look and found that the expressions and behaviors of those people were indeed obviously different from the surrounding foreign soldiers.
Although they were also resting, the alertness and depth revealed from time to time in their eyes were obviously not comparable to those of ordinary foreign soldiers.
"Could it be..." Tian Heng suddenly had a bold guess in his mind, "Did we catch a big fish?"
Shen Minghui looked at Tian Heng with appreciation and said, "Yes, you observed very carefully. The person over there is very likely the leader of the attack on our Datang this time, the Khan of the alien race - Jie Li."
After hearing this, Tian Heng was excited. Since the adults said that it was Jie Li Khan, then he must be Jie Li Khan. Oh my goodness, this is incredible. Not only did they catch a big fish this time, they also caught the king of fish!
He immediately realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and immediately asked for a fight.
Shen Minghui smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry. Although Jie Li has fled, the people around him are all elites of the alien race. We must not act rashly. We must observe secretly first, find their flaws, and then strike them with one strike."
After hearing this, Tian Heng admired Shen Minghui's calmness and wisdom even more. Facing such a huge temptation, he could still remain so calm. He is worthy of being called an adult!
They definitely have the upper hand in this game!
Is this what it feels like to be led to win without doing anything?
Love it, love it!
Shen Minghui looked at Tian Heng's eyes full of fighting spirit and felt relieved. It was really a relief to have such a loyal, brave and fearless military talent around.
Shen Minghui patted Tian Heng's shoulder soothingly and said, "Brothers, get ready. We are going to give Jie Li Khan a surprise today!"
As night fell, Shen Minghui's troops quietly surrounded the camp where Jie Li Khan was located. They hid in the dark, patiently waiting for the best time to attack.
Tian Heng held his breath and watched every move in front of him nervously. You know, the one in front is the king of fish. As long as they can catch this big fish, they will definitely win the first prize of the game. He felt excited and nervous at the same time.
Shen Minghui looked confident, he quietly observed the dynamics of Jie Li Khan's camp, looking for the enemy's flaws. You have to know that the people around Jie Li Khan are all elites of the alien race, they are very vigilant, and the slightest carelessness will alert the enemy. Therefore, he must wait for a perfect opportunity to take down Jie Li in one fell swoop.
While Shen Minghui was secretly observing, he found an important clue. The light in a tent in the camp was flickering, and it seemed that someone was talking in a low voice inside. Shen Minghui immediately realized that this tent was most likely where Jie Li Khan was.
He immediately signaled Tian Heng to approach the tent and prepare for action, so as to capture the leader first. Tian Heng nodded and quietly approached the tent with several elite soldiers. They held their breath and approached the tent carefully, fearing to make any sound.
However, just as they were about to approach the tent, a burst of rapid eagle cries suddenly broke the silence of the night. Tian Heng and his soldiers immediately raised their weapons alertly, ready to deal with any emergency.
Shen Minghui frowned and said secretly "Not good". He didn't expect Jie Li to be so cunning that he even set up secret sentries in the air!
Knowing that the sneak attack might fail, he immediately ordered the entire army to attack and capture Jie Li Khan before he escaped.
Following Shen Minghui's order, the soldiers rushed towards the tent like arrows from a bow, and a thrilling capture operation officially began.
In the darkness of night, Shen Minghui's team rushed towards the tent where Jie Li Khan was like a tiger descending from the mountain. The team led by Tian Heng rushed to the front, their goal was to quickly and accurately subdue Jie Li Khan who might still be in the tent.
"Whoosh" the lights in the tent suddenly went out, and it was obvious that the people inside had noticed the movement outside. Tian Heng's heart tightened, and he immediately led the soldiers to charge faster.
At this moment, the curtain of the tent was suddenly opened, and a black shadow flashed out. Tian Heng was quick-witted and shot an arrow, and the black shadow screamed "Ah" and fell down.
Tian Heng didn't expect it to be so smooth, but he still led his team forward quickly. When he turned his head, he saw that it was indeed just a foreign soldier.
Tian Heng frowned. Did the master make a mistake? No, the person must have run away again without knowing when.
His heart sank and he immediately reported the situation to Shen Minghui.
At this time, Shen Minghui had just finished a battle. He frowned when he heard the news. He quickly glanced at the surrounding terrain. With such a tight siege, no one could escape!
He casually glanced at the captured aliens around him, so it could only be...
Shen Minghui observed these foreign races calmly, then walked to a soldier and stopped. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, penetrating people's hearts. The soldier was frightened and looked up involuntarily, meeting Shen Minghui's smiling eyes.
"You, are Jie Li Khan?" Shen Minghui's voice was calm and firm, as if he had already seen through everything.
Jie Li's expression suddenly turned ugly, and his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp. He had originally planned to hide for a while and then take the opportunity to escape, but he didn't expect to be recognized like this?
Shen Minghui didn't care about his performance. He was just a bird in a cage. All he had to do next was to make use of his remaining energy.
He waved his hand and signaled the soldiers to take Jie Li Khan away. This thrilling capture operation finally came to an end, and the successful capture of the king fish also made the soldiers cheer and jump for joy.
After Jie Li Khan was taken away, Shen Minghui stood in the night with a smile, looking into the distance. This farce is finally over, but... it is not without benefits!
