Chapter 820: Chess Pieces
The decapitation operation was completed perfectly, and Haoda and the 100 secret guards returned that night to ask Mao Wenlong for credit. Two round, wide-eyed heads were placed in front of Mao Wenlong, but Mao Wenlong didn't know any Yi leaders.
After casually looking at it, Mao Wenlong waved his hand and asked people to take out the two seeping heads and dispose of them. Haoda but with a depressed face, busy for most of the night, originally thought that things were going very smoothly. But I didn't expect that in the end, because of a small negligence, I finally wasted the credit I had received.
Since it was impossible to confirm whether the two heads were the heads of the Yi people's leaders, the matter had to be stopped in the end. Haoda and others only received Mao Wenlong's verbal commendation.
The matter was hastily settled, and it was late at night, so everyone dispersed and went back to rest. Early the next morning, Mao Wenlong was awakened by the sound of killing.
Cheng Zuo hurriedly rushed into the big tent, and when he saw Mao Wenlong, who had woken up, he immediately shouted: "Chief soldier, the Yiren suddenly attacked in a big way." ”
Mao Wenlong was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and then slowly got up before asking, "Where did they hit?" ”
Cheng Zuo hesitated for a moment before replying: "I just arrived at the bottom of the mountain." ”
Mao Wenlong slowly put on his clothes, washed up and strode outside the big tent. There was a lot of noise outside, and the busy Dongjiang Army and Chen Jiajun were carrying everything that could be smashed down the mountain.
Jin walked straight to the edge of the cliff, Mao Wenlong looked down, and saw that the dense Yiren soldiers were being driven towards the mountain.
A loud voice came from behind him: "Chief soldier, should we attack now?" ”
Mao Wenlong shook his head and said, "Don't worry, wait for them to rush halfway up the mountain and then fight." ”
Haoda led the order to retreat, and Cheng Zuo said to Mao Wenlong: "Chief soldier, there is no news from the sea this morning. It seems that these Yi people have gone crazy and probably will not flee from the sea. ”
Mao Wenlong laughed and said, "It seems that their actions last night angered these Yi people. Perhaps those two heads last night were indeed the leaders of the Yi people. ”
Cheng Zuo nodded and agreed: "Otherwise, they wouldn't have changed their style early in the morning, looking at their posture, it is estimated that they are going to fight to the death with us." ”
Mao Wenlong chuckled: "If that's the case, then it couldn't be better." ”
If the Yi people fought desperately with the Dongjiang army, it would naturally be of great benefit to the Dongjiang army. Especially like now, Yiren not only changed defense to initiative, but also came up directly to fight hard.
In this way, the Dongjiang Army will turn from a disadvantage to an advantage, and there is no need to divide troops to go around to exterminate the Yiren, but only need to concentrate its forces and fight with firepower, which can save a lot of trouble and accidents.
During the conversation, the Yiren army had already arrived halfway up the mountain, and this time there was no need for Mao Wenlong's order, as a temporary commander, Haoda had already directly ordered a counterattack.
Countless sassal trees and huge rolling stones were pried by the Dongjiang Army, and they tumbled down the mountain all the way. For a time, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and the movement was as big as a sea cracking and landslide.
The entire mountain could feel a slight tremble, and the army of Yi people who were rushing upwards to kill felt this movement, and their faces changed greatly. When they looked up, they saw rocks and trees rolling in from the sky.
"Run......"
The Yiren at the front exclaimed, but it was only a brief call, and the following sandalwood and mountain stones directly smashed them into meat cakes.
Although the Yiren in the back were warned, they were also inevitably killed, and they entered the same ending as their companions in front. The rolling sasswoods and rocks crushed wildly all the way, and nothing could stop them wherever they went.
The screams and screams of running for their lives and being scared made the already chaotic situation even more unbearable. After the wood and rolling stones, only the ground was full of messes, and the Yiren army suffered countless casualties.
Almost all of the men and horses in the first wave of charging were killed in this wave of attacks, nearly a thousand people, and less than a hundred survived.
Raymond did not speak with a gloomy face, and his eyes were full of fire as he looked at the mountains. The second and third leaders were beheaded overnight, but they didn't even see the shadow of a murderer. The strong strength of the Dongjiang Army surprised Raymond very much, and after recognizing the strength of the Dongjiang Army, he knew that he could no longer sit idly by.
That's why there was a wave of attacks this morning, but unfortunately before the fight began, nearly 1,000 people were lost. Another blow made Raymond realize that he couldn't fight blindly. Once his subordinates lose too much money, even if they finally win the Dongjiang Army, they will still be swallowed up by the Fusang Sect that is eyeing them from the sidelines.
In order to preserve his strength, Raymond quickly made a decision and ordered the entire army to withdraw. He set his sights on the sea and tried to flee first, waiting for the Fusang Sect to fight with the Dongjiang Army in the future, and then to see the situation and fight back.
The sudden retreat of the Yiren army was indeed unexpected, and the most unexpected one had to be the Fusang Sect Master. Ren Xiongba didn't believe it after getting the report, and after he checked it in person, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
"Damn Raymond, he actually wants to escape. I think if you leave, my Fusang Sect will have to fight with the Dongjiang Army, right? Delusion! Ren Xiongba squeezed out such a sentence from between his teeth.
"Master, how do we do that?" Grand Elder Jace asked with a frown.
"Mao Wenlong has already sent those hot air balloons to the sea, and if Raymond wants to run, they must run from the sea. The real show will be staged, and when they will fight at sea, it will be when we attack the Dongjiang Army. You go down and prepare now, now Mao Wenlong still has about ten hot air balloons on the mountain, prepare all the giant crossbows, and strive to knock out these ten hot air balloons, and then it will be the time for us to fight with the Dongjiang Army. ”
After a pause, Ren Xiongba smiled coldly: "What we are waiting for is this opportunity, once we defeat the Dongjiang Army, this Xiangjiang Island will be the dominant family of our Fusang Sect in the future, hahaha......"
Raymond retreated suddenly, and Mao Wenlong had already expected it, so he asked Chengzuo to immediately set off in a hot air balloon and personally go to the sea to command.
Cheng Zuo received the order to go, and Hao Da immediately asked Mao Wenlong for orders: "Chief soldier, please allow your subordinates to lead the troops to pursue Yiren." ”
Mao Wenlong waved his hand and said: "No need, just leave it to Chengzuo to fight, we have more important things to do now!" ”
The vast one didn't know why, so he asked: "Chief soldier, what else do we have to do?" ”
Mao Wenlong looked up at another mountain in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "If I am not mistaken, the Fusang Sect must have been secretly eyeing it at this moment. In the event of a war at sea, they will inevitably take the opportunity to attack, and they must be fully prepared. ”
The patriarch of the Chen family also said at this moment: "Yes, the chief soldier is reasonable. This Fusang religion has never appeared from beginning to end, which is contrary to common sense! ”
