Chapter 997: Retreat (3)

At dusk, a carriage full of wooden boxes, escorted by 1,000 officers and soldiers, galloped out of the castle of Heian-kyo Prefecture.

Xinye Cao Jie was ordered to test the reality of Incheon Jiexiong, and by the way, hit the hot air balloon of the Dongjiang Army. At present, there are only ten hot air balloons, which is not a problem at all for Cao Jie of Shinno. As long as nothing else, in the event of a sneak attack, he is fully confident that he will be able to knock out these ten hot air balloons.

At the same time, Incheon Jiexiong, who was coming to Heiankyo day and night, began to become more and more nervous. knew that his 30,000 soldiers and horses would not be able to defeat Heianjing, but he had to face the difficulties head-on. Forget it, what made him unacceptable the most was what Mao Wenlong told him at the end.

According to Mao Wenlong's meaning, his 30,000 soldiers and horses in Incheon Jiexiong were completely used to test the reality of Heianjing. In order to test the reality of a Heianjing, he had to use the 30,000 soldiers and horses that he had collected with great difficulty. Incheon Jiexiong was very unwilling, but he didn't dare to disobey Mao Wenlong.

Catching ducks on the shelves seems to be a true portrayal of Incheon Jiexiong at this moment. It was nearly dusk, and Incheon ordered to set up camp by a small stream, and was going to rest here for the night, and then continue his journey early tomorrow morning.

When the mixed recruits march in a hurry, there will inevitably be a lot of baskets. The few veterans in the army are the busiest, not only to be on guard, but also to keep an eye on the lazy guys in the army.

This also led to the fact that at the end of the day's journey, the army marched slowly, and there were many thieves. No, as soon as the army rested and set up camp, an old general from Incheon Jiexiong came over.

The dark skin, short stature, and fat body make Nobi Xiaoci look like a leather ball. The short and fat body didn't seem to affect his fast pace at all, and he could reach it in an instant when he was more than ten meters away.

With a bitter gourd face exposed, Nobi Xiaoji complained to Incheon Jiexiong: "Lord, we can't march like this anymore. Those newcomers in the army have not been run-in, they can't be integrated with each other at all, and some of them have a hot temper and fight directly. There are no precepts in the army, and if we continue to march in such a hurry, our subordinates estimate that we will not be able to reach Heiankyo and will start killing each other. ”

Incheon Jiexiong was very stunned, his sharp gaze fell directly on Nobi Xiaoci's fat face, and then said viciously: "Why did the army become like this, didn't you want to look at it more from the beginning?" Are you all lazy? ”

In the face of such a reproach, Yebi Xiaoci looked very innocent, and he replied: "Lord, it's not that we are lazy, but that we have too few people, three thousand people are in charge of thirty thousand people, and one can't see ten at all." ”

Out of the way, Yebi Xiaoci knows that if he doesn't accept it clearly at this time, it will inevitably make Incheon Jiexiong's misunderstanding deeper.

For the sake of his own life and the lives of his colleagues, he should explain it to Incheon Kaixiong no matter what.

It turns out that Nobi Xiaoci is right to do this, after figuring out the reason for the matter. Incheon Jiexiong immediately fell silent, if the army is as Nobi Xiaoci just said. Indeed, he could no longer urge the army to continue on its way.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow will give you a day to rectify here, and the day after tomorrow to continue the journey. If there is a riot in the army the day after tomorrow, then the master will be killed. A hideous growl erupted from Incheon's mouth.

"Yes, lord!" Yebi Xiaoci showed a rare expression of relief.

He is a veteran in the army, he has been in the army since he became an adult, and he has come over for more than 30 years. In order to train new recruits, in order to achieve results as soon as possible, it is essential to set an example of chickens and monkeys. Now with the permission of Incheon Jiexiong, you can use the knife, then it is completely different.

Incheon Jiexiong nodded, waved his hand to let Nobi Xiaoci retreat, he turned to look at the still chaotic army, and there was a wave of irritability in his heart for no reason. Out of sight and not wanting to be bothered by these things, Incheon Kaixiong dragged his tired body into the tent that had just been set up.

The hot air balloons in the air were still on alert, and ten hot air balloons were scattered a mile away from the garrison of the army. Adou, who was in charge of leading the team, had a disdainful expression on his face, and he followed him all the way, and was completely thundered by the 30,000 soldiers and horses of Incheon Jiexiong.

In Adou's eyes, these 30,000 soldiers and horses can't be called an army at all, they are just a group of refugees fleeing. It was just 30,000 refugees who were going to attack Heiankyo, the capital of the Japanese Kingdom.

"Damn the Wako, I've been here for almost an hour, and I haven't finished camping yet." Adou put away the binoculars and muttered dissatisfiedly.

"General, should we lower the hot air balloon first?" A guard bowed his hand to Adou for instructions.

"Descend five first, and command it to go down, and check it carefully, so that there is no mistake." Adou commanded in a deep voice.

"Yes, General!" The guards agreed, turned around and began to wave the order flag, conveying Adou's order.

The five hot air balloons, including the one Adou was riding, slowly descended. At this moment, in a tall weed bush a few hundred meters away, ten arrows suddenly shot out, and the target was the five hot air balloons that were slowly descending.

The screeching sound of the rattling arrow quickly attracted the attention of the Dongjiang army, and Adou saw the rattling arrow with the flaming tail for the first time, and he shouted: "Beware of sneak attacks......

"Poof......

Adou's warning was obviously a step too slow, and a rattling arrow went straight into the balloon's sphere. With a muffled sound, the balloon's sphere suddenly burst into a large hole, and then the heat inside flowed away wildly.

The hot air balloon shook violently, and then began to fall rapidly from mid-air, and exclamations began to sound in the air. A guard stumbled to Adou's side, and before he had time to say anything, he actually wrapped a thick quilt directly around his body.

"What are you doing...... no matter how loudly Adou shouted, the two guards quickly tied the quilt to Adou's body.

"Boom ......"

The hot air balloon just hit the ground directly at this time, and the huge vibration directly threw the two guards away. Adou was not spared, and the huge impact threw him several meters high, and then slammed it to the ground.

"Poof......

Although Adou was protected by a quilt, he was still dizzy by the bang, and when he opened his mouth, his mouth was full of blood spurting out.
