Chapter 527: Stealing Chickens Doesn't Make Rice

Adou is worthy of being a master of tracking, and after setting off last night, he began to track down the Liaodong army that was hiding. Due to yesterday's heavy rain, all traces of the Liaodong Army were completely destroyed, so that Adou couldn't do it for a while.

However, after the rain stopped in the middle of the night, Adou and the others were lucky to find some clues of the Liaodong Army again.

The rising sun is golden and the sun is shining on the earth, and it is also the time for Adou and Chen Jisheng to launch a sneak attack together.

"Dada"

The sound of horses' hooves rose in the silent early morning, and the sound of killing suddenly came from all directions, and two thousand cavalry of the Dongjiang Army rushed towards the Liaodong Army, which had already been surrounded for most of the night.

The sudden attack caught this small group of Liaodong troops by surprise, and several guards in charge of vigilance were shot dead by Adou in the morning. There was no warning at all, and before many of the Liaodong troops could react, they had already been killed by the swarming Dongjiang army.

Adou was holding an ordinary bow and arrow, standing on a high place, the arrow was not missing, and anyone who was targeted by him to flee was killed by an arrow.

Everywhere Chen Jisheng's saber went, blood splashed, and heads and severed limbs flew wildly. On the battlefield, his hearty laughter is the loudest, and his killing is also unusually happy.

The brave officers and soldiers of the Dongjiang Army seemed to be infected by Chen Jisheng's madness, and they all rushed to kill the enemy.

This skirmish came and went faster, and in less than half an hour, none of the 2,000 Liaodong troops could escape, and all of them were killed by the Dongjiang army.

Adouti shot the last Liaodong Army soldier who was about to escape, and then threw the bow and arrow back to the guards beside him. Under the admiring gaze of the guards, Adou hurriedly ran to the battlefield.

Before the person entered the battlefield, he smelled a strong smell of blood, and Adou didn't care at all, and still strode forward.

Chen Jisheng is already leading the troops to clean up the battlefield, rummaging through the corpses of the Liaodong Army lying on the ground one by one.

"How. Nothing escaped, right? Chen Jisheng saw Adou rushing towards him first, and he asked first.

"No, none of them slipped away." Obviously, the two had already assigned their respective tasks early in the morning.

Adou is responsible for killing enemies from a distance at high places, and by the way, he keeps an eye out for any enemy troops who try to escape. And Chen Jisheng and others were responsible for the killing and directly engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.

The perfect cooperation and the perfect sneak attack made this a perfect victory. According to later statistics, the officers and men of the Dongjiang Army suffered less than 10 casualties, and less than 100 were injured. And the enemy army of 2,000 people, not a single one is alive, and there is no doubt about the complete victory.

After simply cleaning up the battlefield and taking almost two thousand war horses, Chen Jisheng and Adou returned triumphantly.

Mao Wenlong's army had already begun to continue its journey, heading towards Guangningwei, two hundred miles away. Due to yesterday's heavy rain, the entire official road was muddy, which made it quite difficult for the army to march.

"Chief soldier, there has just been news that Adou and they have returned triumphantly." Cheng Zuo had just received the news, and immediately rushed to report to Mao Wenlong.

"Yes, these two boys really have a hand." In just half a day and one night, Adou and Chen Jisheng actually solved those nasty flies, and Mao Wenlong was also quite surprised.

In his mind, even if he could completely destroy those Liaodong troops, it should take at least three or four days. didn't expect Adou to give him such a big surprise.

There was the sound of horses' hooves behind him, Mao Wenlong looked back, and saw Adou and Chen Jisheng galloping towards them. Judging from the full smiles on the faces of the two, Mao Wenlong knew that the previous news could not be faked.

Sure enough, after Adou and Chen Jisheng came to Mao Wenlong to greet him, Adou explained the whole process to Mao Wenlong.

"Hahaha...... Okay, this time I will make a great contribution to you, and when we finish fighting Liaodong, we will reward them together. Mao Wenlong let out a hearty laugh, especially after learning that because of the killing of the enemy, he unexpectedly got more than 2,000 war horses, and Mao Wenlong was even more happy.

Compared with the Dongjiang Army, which was full of passion and high morale, Guangningwei, who was about to usher in a powerful enemy army, fell into a nervous and panicked mood.

Especially when the news of the annihilation of the friendly forces that attacked the Dongjiang Army reached Guangningwei, it was even more gloomy and miserable.

A fast horse went out of the city on the same day and sent the news to the Liaodong Provincial Government as fast as possible to inform Wu Sangui.

There is always too much difference between dream and reality, Wu Sangui was immediately furious when he learned the news: "Two thousand Jingwei can't last two days, Li Ao, what should you be guilty of?" ”

Li Ao was already bitter in his heart, he didn't expect the ending to be so unbearable. If he could have predicted that the outcome would be like this, he would not have proposed to Wu Sangui to harass the Dongjiang Army.

Now it's okay, stealing chickens and rice is not a recipe for rice, and two thousand dead guards have been sacrificed in vain, and two thousand war horses have been lost. These were just pediatrics, and their main purpose was to demoralize the Dongjiang Army.

But now it seems that the situation has completely deviated, and not only has it not hit the morale of the Dongjiang Army, but it has boosted the morale of the Dongjiang Army a lot. Looking at the Liaodong Army on the other hand, this will be even more panicked.

"Plop ......"

Li Ao knelt directly in front of Wu Sangui and cried: "The minister deserves death, please punish the prince." ”

Wu Sangui's vicious eyes stayed on Li Ao's body for a long time, and he might order his dog's head to be cut off at any time. After all, it is two thousand dead guards, such a responsibility can be big or small, even if Wu Sangui doesn't want to really kill Li Ao, he can't let him go so easily, otherwise he won't be able to explain to the soldiers in the army.

"For the sake of your loyalty, I will spare you from death this time, but the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped. Someone......" Wu Sangui immediately shouted.

The two guards ran in quickly, and then said together: "Lord Wang......"

Wu Sangui pointed at Li Ao, who was lying on the ground trembling slightly, and coldly ordered: "Put him in prison, no one is allowed to visit him without the order of this king." ”

The two guards didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately carried out Wu Sangui's order, stepped forward and roughly dragged Li Ao away.

On the way, Li Ao didn't even dare to let out a fart, let alone say a word of pleading. As the closest person to Wu Sangui, he knew that this was already the lightest punishment for him.

The black cauldron always needs someone to carry it, and Li Ao is obviously the one who carries the black cauldron. Wu Sangui originally nodded and agreed. Even if he wants to be punished, Wu Sangui should be the culprit, but who calls him the one in power, although Li Ao is a military advisor, he still can't avoid the fate of the black cauldron.
