Chapter 822: Escape
The camp of the Fusang Sect was in flames, and although Ren Xiongba regrouped the scattered cultists, he was unable to recover the decline in the end. When the Dongjiang Army's secret guards retreated, the Fusang camp was only left with a mess and corpses everywhere.
Most of the casualties were caused in the panic at the beginning, and after Ren Xiongba personally participated in the battle, he obviously recovered some of the declining momentum, but still lost nearly 3,000 sect members.
In the early hours of the morning, the fire in the camp had been completely extinguished, saving the lives and helping the wounded, and the inventory of losses was underway. Ren Xiongba returned to his big tent, and just after changing into clean clothes and armor, he saw the Great Elder dragging his tired body over.
"What about our crossbow losses?" Hearing the footsteps, Ren Xiongba spoke without looking back.
"Sect Master, all of our forty giant crossbows have been destroyed...... "The Great Elder's tone was full of panic.
Sure enough, Ren Xiongba turned around as soon as he heard this, only to see his body appear in front of the Great Elder a few steps away. Ren Xiongba stretched out his hand and grabbed the Great Elder's chest, brought him up in front of him, and said viciously: "All of them have been destroyed, and there is not even one left, yes or no?" ”
Ren Xiongba's hideous face was a few feet closer, and his cold and piercing tone made the Great Elder's heart tremble, and he tried his best to suppress the panic in his heart, and responded: "Yes, there is not a single one left!" ”
"Bang ......"
As soon as the Great Elder's words fell, the angry Ren Xiongba suddenly lifted his body and threw his hand. Before the Great Elder could react, he was thrown directly to the brazier beside him.
After the sound of the brazier toppling, the Great Elder fell to the ground, and his body was splashed by the flames of the brazier, and the flames began to burn.
The Great Elder was not bad, and he began to roll on the ground by means of castration, and soon extinguished the flames on his body.
The movement inside the tent attracted the attention of the guards guarding outside, and more than a dozen people rushed in. But he was glared back by Ren Xiongba, and after the guards withdrew, Ren Xiongba looked at the embarrassed elder coldly, and said in a dark voice: "Without the giant crossbow, there is no way to deal with the hot air balloon." Now gather everyone at once, and we will retreat at once. ”
The Great Elder seemed to have something to say, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back, and after he gave up his orders, he left in embarrassment.
Ren Xiongba stood alone in the big tent, his face changed, looking at the already bright sky outside, but he had not yet seen the killer who had gone to assassinate the enemy general last night come back. By this point, he had already understood that those people must have failed!
"Mao Wenlong, this seat is not over with you." Ren Xiongba cursed in a low voice, and then raised his feet to leave.
The Fusang Sect was defeated and fled, and Mao Wenlong would not let go of this opportunity to beat the water dogs. He directly ordered all ten hot air balloons to attack, chasing the fleeing army of the Fusang Sect and bombing indiscriminately all the way.
After fleeing for a long time, seeing that his subordinates suffered heavy casualties, it was not feasible to escape like this. Only then did Ren Xiongba think of dispersing his forces, disbanding all the troops, and letting them each abscond.
It turned out that Ren Xiongba's idea was good, and without the concentrated crowd, the ten hot air balloons would not have the previous lethality. After all the Fusang cultists dispersed, the hot air balloon of the Dongjiang Army left on its own.
At the same time, the war at sea is also nearing the end, there is no suspense, and the Yiren have no equipment to deal with hot air balloons. After losing nearly half of his troops, Lei Meng held high the white flag of surrender in desperation, and was escorted to the port by Chengzuo, where he was guarded by the Dongjiang Army who rushed to interrogate.
The war on Xiangjiang Island has come to an end, but Mao Wenlong knows that it is far from stopping. The Fusang Sect is the most critical existence, and if the Fusang Sect is not completely wiped out from Xiangjiang Island, the Dongjiang Army will never have a peaceful day here.
"Haoda, you lead a thousand secret guards to find out where the Fuso Sect is located. Remember, don't startle the snake if you find it, I'm going to catch them all. Mao Wenlong said with a cruel voice.
"Yes, chief soldier, the subordinates will do a good job." Haoda immediately said yes.
Mao Wenlong waved his hand and sent Haoda away, before turning to face Chengzuo on the side: "How is it?" The Yiren didn't let it escape, did they? ”
Cheng Zuo showed a smile on his face, and said with satisfaction: "The subordinates lived up to the trust of the general army, fought with the Yi people, destroyed nearly half of the enemy, captured more than 3,000 people, more than 30 large and small warships, and a lot of property and grain and grass, and the harvest was not bad." ”
Hearing this, Mao Wenlong nodded relentingly and said, "Now there is no need for so many hot air balloons on the sea, transfer fifteen back to land, and there are fifteen left on the sea." ”
After hearing this, Cheng Zuo hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Then how is the general soldier going to deal with the Fusang Sect?" ”
Mao Wenlong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The situation has not yet been clarified, and we will wait until we find out the details of the Fusang Sect before we think of a way to deal with them." ”
The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and today's Fusang Sect is on Xiangjiang Island, which is an out-and-out head snake. If it weren't for the carelessness of Yiren this time, he was successfully assassinated by the secret guard. This battle must not have subsided so easily, you must know that Mao Wenlong was prepared for a long battle at the beginning.
The accident made Mao Wenlong take a big advantage, and it also caused the Yiren and Fusang Sect to face decline at the same time. The Dongjiang Army's complete victory in this battle was largely due to luck. Such things happen occasionally, and Mao Wenlong can accept them calmly, but it is too unrealistic to expect such good luck every time.
Listening to Mao Wenlong's analysis, Cheng Zuo didn't say anything more, and then said goodbye and left, arranging for the hot air balloon to return to land.
Mao Wenlong had to be idle, but he didn't take a breath, he took a dozen more personal guards, and went directly down the mountain to the port to meet the leader of the Yi people, Lei Meng. Some things may be available from his mouth, so it is necessary for Mao Wenlong to take a trip.
The wharf was full of people, and all the Yi people who surrendered were escorted off the ship one after another, although they handed over all their weapons and tied up all the people, but the Dongjiang army still did not dare to be careless, and the guard was quite strict.
Mao Wenlong did not go to the messy dock, but made a temporary interrogation room in a warehouse on the dock. Then let the guards go and bring Raymond, the leader of the Yi people.
Not long after, Lei Meng was almost carried in by four guards, and when he arrived in front of Mao Wenlong, he was directly kneeling on the ground by the guards.
Mao Wenlong waved his hand to drive away the rough guards, looked at Raymond with anger on his face with a smile, and said, "You are Raymond, the leader of the Yiren pirates, right?" ”
The translator standing behind Mao Wenlong immediately translated his words. After hearing this, Raymond raised his head and looked at Mao Wenlong with fierce eyes, and said angrily: "Lao Tzu has lost, if you want to kill it, you have to kill it, but you can rest and get whatever you need from Lao Tzu." ”
