Encountering a sudden counterattack, the Dongjiang Army suffered casualties for the first time. The incident happened suddenly, and the Dongjiang Army did not react for a while.

However, the mountain tiger on Dongying's side saw the effect, and then he did not hesitate. A second wave of return fire was immediately ordered, and nearly a hundred arrows were fired into the hot air balloon in the air again.

Haoda, who was still in a daze, jumped up directly like a kitten that had been stepped on by its tail, and exclaimed: "Rise, quickly pass the order to raise the height of the hot air balloon......"

However, the great order was still too late, and before he could finish his words, the enemy's arrows had already been killed. After another explosion, the Dongjiang army was attacked again, and several more hot air balloons were hit.

This time, without waiting for the third attack of the enemy, the huge shouting no longer stopped. Soon, the remaining untouched hot air balloons began to slowly rise into the air.

Under the cover of night, the hot air balloon of the Dongjiang Army soon disappeared into the vast night sky. The mountain tigers and others below immediately couldn't see where the hot air balloon of the Dongjiang Army was?

The situation took a turn for the worse, and although the mountain tiger had a good record, there was still no joy on his face at the moment. On the contrary, his expression became more and more solemn, and a trace of uneasiness appeared in his heart for no reason......

"Whew......"

Suddenly, more than a hundred flaming arrows were fired in the night sky, which was exactly the enormity after escaping the catastrophe, and he ordered to return fire. Although the two waves of enemy attacks just now had some success, they also exposed their location.

Haoda has a wealth of experience in naval warfare, and he will not miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fight back. So after the hot air balloon was raised, he immediately ordered to shoot back.

"Boom ......"

More than 100 flaming arrows exploded at the same time, and their power was not small. And after the explosion, more than a dozen small boats stacked with ringing arrows were directly ignited.

The soldiers on the small boat did not have time to escape, and were engulfed in flames, and then drowned out by the explosion of igniting arrows.

The blaze of fire exposed the other enemy ships to their noses. Without any hesitation, the second counterattack of the Dongjiang Army followed.

There were also more than 100 flaming arrows, but this time the hit rate was more than twice as high as the previous one. Even the boat in which the mountain tiger was riding could not escape, but fortunately he was quick to see and had loyal subordinates to protect him. Before the flaming arrows arrived, he had successfully escaped by jumping into the sea.

The effective counterattack of the Dongying Army ended up with only two attempts, inflicting losses of less than twenty hot air balloons on the Dongjiang Army. But it did frighten the great, and it made him dare not be careless anymore.

Without giving the Dongying army any chance to react, the Dongjiang army, under the great order, took the lead in eliminating all threats, and then turned to deal with the other enemy ships.

At this point, the counterattack of the Dongying army was declared a failure. The mountain tiger who escaped by luck returned to Xinye Cao Jie in despair. The smile that used to hang on his face is now long gone.

And Xinye Cao Jie's face was also gloomy, he looked at the embarrassed mountain tiger for a long time and stopped talking. Long Xin and Nohara were very worried about the situation of the mountain tiger at the moment, and they wanted to say something good for him, but they didn't dare to collide with Xinye Cao Jie at this time.

Just when the three of them were in silence with their own concerns, Xinye Cao Jie suddenly spoke: "How many hot air balloons of the Dongjiang Army did those arrows hit in total?" ”

The mountain tiger was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and finally Nohara couldn't stand it, so he quietly reminded him. The mountain tiger who reacted was full of embarrassment, he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately replied: "Lord Wang, because I attacked in the dark just now, the preparation in advance was not sufficient. Therefore, the exact number of hot air balloons of the Dongjiang Army that were shot down is not known. But a rough estimate of subordinates should be about twenty. ”

Speaking of this, Shan Hu felt much better, and he felt that he was not a complete fiasco in this battle. At least beat more than 20 hot air balloons of the Dongjiang Army, even if there is no credit in the face of Xinye Cao Jie, there is still a little hard work.

With these mental hints, Shanhu felt a lot more relaxed. Indeed, as he thought, after Xinye Cao Jie learned of such a result, he did not put on a dead face again.

On the contrary, under the gaze of the three of them, Xinye Cao Jie actually showed a rare smile: "Then how many arrows are left now?" ”

Hearing this, Shanhu frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said uncertainly: "The subordinates don't know now, but if it is estimated, there should be more than two hundred." ”

"It's only about two hundred ......," Xinye Cao Jie's face became gloomy again.

There were only about 200 troops, and it was obviously impossible to evacuate the Dongjiang Army in the night sky. After thinking deeply, Xinye Cao Jie decisively ordered: "The whole army retreats." ”

As soon as these words came out, Long Xin, Yeyuan and Mountain Tiger were all stunned.

After a while, Nohara asked with great certainty: "Is the prince going to withdraw his troops directly?" ”

Xinye Cao Jie's face was full of depth, and a cold voice came out of his mouth: "Don't say more, immediately send the order down, and the whole army will evacuate." ”

Faced with an impossible hot air balloon, Xinye Cao Jie didn't want his subordinates to be innocently sent to death. In addition, now I finally know that there is a way to deal with the hot air balloon of the Dongjiang Army. He can retreat first, and when he has enough sharp weapons, he can fight to the death with the Dongjiang army.

Xinye Cao Jie's withdrawal was quickly conveyed, but the night voyage largely deprived the Dongying army of the ability to react quickly.

In addition, the Chinese army, which was crippled by the Dongjiang Army, greatly slowed down the retreat time of the Dongying Army. After knowing the enemy's intentions, Haoda was not polite, and directly chased after the Dongying army, and used up the last bit of weapons on all the hot air balloons before collecting his troops and returning to Mao Wenlong.

When Haoda, full of joy, returned to the camp of the Dongjiang Army, he found that there was an unexpected situation in the ship formation. All the officers and soldiers of the Dongjiang Army were full of guard, and when he saw Mao Wenlong, he found that Mao Wenlong's expression was also a little wrong?

Asked Mao Wenlong, Hao Nature didn't have the guts, so he quietly handed Cheng Zuo an inquiring look. Cheng Zuo naturally couldn't tell Haoda what happened last night with his eyes, so he could only shake his head helplessly, saying that he couldn't help.

After a while, it was Mao Wenlong who came back to his senses first and asked Haoda, "How was the record last night?" ”

Haoda immediately became energetic, and with a smile, he told everyone present about last night's glorious results. Knowing that the Dongying army actually retreated, Mao Wenlong was quite surprised. Because he knew very well that the more than 100 hot air balloons that were huge last night alone could not hit many enemy ships.
