The battle between Fang Xiaohai and Nangong Xianming presented a protracted war, which made Mao Wenlong very uneasy. Originally, according to his speculation, the Dongjiang Army was assisted by a hot air balloon, so there should not be such a situation.

But the fact has been that Mao Wenlong did not expect, so it must be solved. After a short hesitation, Mao Wenlong ordered the whole army to rush to the battlefield to participate in the battle.

The generals agreed with a bang, and the remaining 100 or so warships of the Dongjiang Army immediately set sail to the battlefield. When the Luzon envoy learned about it, he thanked Mao Wenlong again and again, and left to go back to inform the king of Luzon of the good news.

Mao Wenlong couldn't care about the envoy's affairs, so he casually politely sent him away.

There is no reason why a strong ship and a sharp cannon cannot be won, after more than 100 warships led by Mao Wenlong joined. There is no doubt that Nangong Xianming's side will be defeated immediately, and the nearby hydrology is familiar to him, so although he is defeated, he retreats in an orderly manner.

Mao Wenlong ordered that no pursuit was allowed, Nangong Xianming occupied the right time and place, and if the Dongjiang army rashly pursued, it was very likely that they would be ambushed.

Moreover, Mao Wenlong had no intention of starting a war with Nangong Xianming at this time. After all, it was the sailors of the Luzon Kingdom, not the pirate army of Nangong Xianming, and there was still a big difference between the two.

Nangong Xianming also seemed to have tested the strength of the Dongjiang Army, knowing that he was still not the opponent of the Dongjiang Army at sea. He didn't dare to attack rashly, but sent people to supervise the movements of the Dongjiang Army at all times.

When Nangong Xianming found that the Dongjiang Army had no intention of fighting, he was even more relieved and confronted the Dongjiang Army at sea.

In this way, in line with Mao Wenlong's original intention, he also ordered that no one in the whole army should make trouble without his order.

When night fell, the sea was bustling for most of the day, and finally returned to calm. Some corpses floating on the surface of the sea, as well as the strong smell of blood, attract a large number of sharks to come and feed.

Ten generals were accompanying Mao Wenlong at this moment, watching the surging sea under the night sky.

Fang Xiaohai's face was full of confusion, after retreating from the enemy today, the Dongjiang Army could completely take advantage of the victory to pursue. But Mao Wenlong ordered that no pursuit was allowed, which completely violated the laws of the battlefield.

After holding it for most of the day, Fang Xiaohai seemed to be unable to be silent anymore. After a little hesitation, he arched his hand to Mao Wenlong and said, "Chief soldier, why don't we take advantage of the victory to pursue?" That Nangong Xianming is already obviously defeated, is it a pity to lose the good time? ”

As soon as he said this, everyone else was holding back laughter. Because of the people present, it seems that only Fang Xiaohai doesn't know now, Mao Wenlong actually has other plans.

Mao Wenlong turned to look at Fang Xiaohai and chuckled: "Nangong Xianming is just a clown who jumps off the beam, and he is now using Luzon's soldiers and horses to fight against us." Even if we win, we won't get any benefits, and as far as Nangong Xianming is concerned, the soldiers and horses of Luzon are just some substitutes for the dead. ”

Hearing this, Fang Xiaohai suddenly woke up: "What the chief soldier said is reasonable, but his subordinates are reckless. ”

Mao Wenlong waved his hand to stop Fang Xiaohai and said, "Don't blame yourself, now that we have seen through Nangong Xianming's intentions, naturally we don't have to fall into his trap." ”

After speaking, Mao Wenlong's eyes suddenly looked at Adou beside him, and said coldly: "Nangong Xianming's treacherous plan will not let him succeed, we don't have to fight him openly, but secretly we can't do what he wants." Adou, you will prepare tonight, give you a thousand dark guards, and set off in hot air balloons. ”

Adou's spirit was shocked, and he immediately responded: "Please give the commander's orders." ”

Mao Wenlong nodded and continued: "There are people in the Luzon Congress to receive you, and the task this time is very simple, to protect the King of Luzon. By the way, assassinate those officials who obeyed Nangong Xianming's orders, and completely disintegrate Nangong Xianming's power on land. ”

Adou responded coldly: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

Mao Wenlong waved his hand and said, "Then go down and arrange it as soon as possible, and wait for your good news." ”

Adou arched his hand and said: "The subordinates retired. ”

Soon after Adou left, nearly 100 hot air balloons slowly rose into the air and slowly floated away in the direction of Luzon under the cover of night.

Nangong Xianming didn't worry about the domestic affairs in Luzon, his mind at the moment was completely on the Dongjiang Army on the sea. On land, he controls almost all of his military power, and there is nothing to worry about.

But Adou's arrival gave Nangong Xianming an unexpected result.

In the dark mountains and forests, a thousand secret guards landed safely under Adou's inventory. After all the hot air balloons had left, the Luzon envoy who had met Mao Wenlong first appeared. Under his guidance, Adou took a thousand secret guards and rushed straight to the king of Luzon, who was under house arrest.

A thousand dark guards wore black night clothes, and under the leadership of Adou, they quickly walked through the mountains and forests. Rushing all the way forward, Adou, who was the leader, already held the longbow on his shoulder in his hand. The eyes were glowing in the night, and the ears were not moving, and the eyes and ears were exerted to the extreme.

After half an hour of running, Adou and the others soon arrived at the edge of the mountain forest, and three hundred meters in front of them was a palace annex in Luzon. According to the envoy of Luzon, this is the hidden place where Nangong Xianming put the king of Luzon under house arrest.

Adou raised his eyes and looked around, and soon found that this place was heavily guarded, and there were many open and dark whistles. There are even more people on duty on the high arrow tower, and if Adou wants to sneak in quietly, they must first kill the sentinels on the arrow tower.

When the heavy bow and crossbow sounded, the sentry on the arrow tower could be seen falling to the ground. Adou didn't pause, bent his bow again, and the sound of two bowstring vibrations sounded.

In the darkness of about two hundred meters in front of the dark guard, two muffled sounds of bodies falling to the ground could be clearly heard. The sharpshooter is indeed worthy of his name, and the open and dark whistles can't escape Adou's observation.

After eliminating the three sentinels in an instant, Adou put away his bow and arrows with satisfaction, waved his hand to signal all the secret guards to follow behind him, and quietly sneaked into the courtyard.

With the sound of various insects at night, Adou's thousand people successfully sneaked under the high courtyard wall of the other courtyard. The five-meter-high courtyard wall couldn't resist these secret guards at all, and Adou still took the lead, and the rope hook was easily thrown onto the courtyard wall. As soon as he pulled hard, the rope became tight, and Adou pulled it twice, and after making sure that it was fixed, he immediately climbed up quickly.

The other guards followed, one by one, agile and silently following closely.

Adou on the courtyard wall put away his dagger and took off the longbow again, and in the blink of an eye, there were two more bowstring vibrations. Twenty paces away from the courtyard wall, two guards were hit by arrows almost simultaneously and died on the spot. There were only two slight noises, which did not disturb the other guards at all.
