Chapter 259: Hidden Arrows Are Hard to Defend Against

The casualties of the Dengzhou battalion soldiers who came to support this time were not large, but the soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion in the city were not small, more than 1,000 regular soldiers, only more than 700 people were left after the war, and nearly 1,000 Yanding in the city later successively reinforced the city gate, and nearly half of the total casualties were also lost.

It is worth mentioning that Dong Youyin led 800 soldiers guarding the city gate, they simply created a miracle, 800 people, with a brave force, blocked thousands of chaotic people for a few hours.

Although there are reasons for the narrow city gate and the low combat power of the opponent, this still does not affect them to become the heroes of this battle!

However, these 800 casualties were also the most heavi, and later statistics showed that in addition to the more than 500 people killed in the battle, more than a dozen people died one after another due to factors such as heavy casualties and excessive blood loss.

In the end, there were less than two hundred of the eight hundred people left, and when Wang Zheng knew the news, his brain was booming, and he fell to the chair unsteadily.

This victory came too hard, and each of these soldiers was the elite of the elite, even against the Tartars, they did not give in much, and actually died at the hands of these rebels.

These soldiers who survived by luck cannot be said to be more elite than those who died in battle, but after this battle, there are already some inexplicable things that slowly pour into their minds, making them stronger and stronger, crossing the last psychological barrier, and becoming truly independent warriors.

It can be said that there is actually no winner in this battle, the dead and wounded are the rebels and the soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion, although the Wenxiang Sect has lost two incense masters, but the sect leader Lin Yilun did not die, this is not over.

The dense names on the list of the dead on the table made a nameless fire rise in Wang Zheng's heart, and he clenched his fists and looked in the direction of Qingzhou Mansion.

With such heavy casualties in the Dengzhou battalion, the happiest person was Liu Zeqing in the turtle shrinkage capital.

......

On the same day and night, Guangling Town, Shouguang County.

It was a ruined scene, except for a few bare tree trunks that had long since lost their branches, and only those mud houses that could shelter themselves from the wind and rain.

The road was dirt, and with the howling cold wind, a group of refugees huddled into penguins passed by outside a mud house, where several people were huddled.

At a cursory glance, these people were dressed as refugees as they were passing by outside the house, with bird's nest heads, torn cotton jackets wrapped around their bodies, and their faces and hands were dirty.

However, if you look closely, you will find that although these people are huddled in the corner like waiting for death, and they are shivering with cold, their eyes show a touch of firmness, and their dirty hands have thick calluses, obviously old hands that hold knives for many years.

Suddenly, a man got up and said:

"Rattan, beard, and good friends, the three of you will come with me, the four of you will still walk together according to yesterday's division of labor, and this time you must not let the surnamed Jiang run away again!"

A few people who seemed to be weak and powerless got up one after another, and in a blink of an eye, they became energetic, and they all made a package ticket, everyone knew that tonight was the most important night.

"This time, the man surnamed Lin will definitely not be able to run into the palms of the brothers."

"Needless to say, just get started!"

Changyou nodded with satisfaction, and after going out, he was a little uneasy, and turned around and instructed:

"Remember, once you are discovered by the thieves of the Smelling Fragrance Sect, even if you die, you must be sure that you are a refugee, understand?"

"Changtou, just take a look!"

"Don't worry, Changtou, the brothers have also done a lot of this kind of fishing in troubled waters!"

More than a dozen people cautiously walked out of the room, taking advantage of the night, quietly touching deeper and deeper, and finally leaving only the footsteps farther and farther away.

Changyou came out with twelve descendants of the Inspection Division, all of whom were carefully selected candidates in the Inspection Division, and at first they went to Shouguang to touch them.

The officers and soldiers of Shouguang County had already died and scattered, and when Changyou walked over there with the people, they only found groups of refugees, these people spoke with accents from all over the world, and it was difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

Tiangong is beautiful, Changyou didn't find a clue, but someone from the Wenxiang Sect found them first, and these people didn't expect that the Dengzhou camp could split a team to sneak into Shouguang at such a time.

The leader of the Wenxiang Sect fell in love with the twelve people of Changyou, and wanted to pull them into the gang, and praised the so-called "Three Buddhas Descending into the World" and the like, and said that as long as Changyou followed them to do the Fa, they would be invulnerable.

There are more than a dozen people in Changyou who are local to Jiaodong, and some are refugees who settled in Dengzhou after being retained by Dengzhou Battalion, how can the accents of various places be people from Dengzhou Camp?

Therefore, those people who smelled the incense sect had no doubt at all, and took Changyou and his party to a courtyard.

A person dressed like a Taoist priest, holding a wooden sword, began to "ascend the altar method" while chattering, Changyou and his party showed an interested look, and when those people who smelled incense and sat on the ground with a decent practice, they suddenly burst out.

The number of Wenxiang Sect is not superior, and there are only seven or eight "mages" who count the methods, and they were attacked by surprise without warning, and the battle ended without a few resistances.

At first, those people who smelled the fragrance sect tried in vain to delay time, and one of them wanted to release some seals, but Chen Liangyou found out, and directly asked Changyou to kill him on the spot.

The smell of blood stimulated the nerves, and when the cold short blade rested on the neck, it was the literati who first softened the bones, and the "mage" was so frightened that he urinated incontinentally, and all the original explanations were revealed.

It turned out that at that time, Jiang Yi, the hall master of the Wenxiang Sect, was in Shouguang, but there were not many Wenxiang sect members in Shouguang, Jiang Yi had always acted alone, and the speaker of the Wenxiang Sect leader Lin Yilun in Shandong was the hall master Jiang Yi.

After getting the news, Changyou couldn't say how excited he was, but when he walked out of the courtyard with someone, he happened to look at a man in a gray coat.

Just at this glance, Changyou read a lot of news from this person's eyes, ruthless, cunning, vicious, etc., as if they were all jumping up and down vividly in this one look.

That person didn't look like an ordinary refugee at all, his eyes were sharp, and when he looked at it, he seemed to see that these people in front of him were not ordinary.

When he turned his eyes and saw the blood on the short blades of the salters that had not yet had time to be wiped, he immediately whistled without hesitation, turned around and fled north.

Changyou and Yan Ding were about to catch up, but more than a dozen members of the Smelling Fragrance Sect suddenly jumped out of the crowd, and after a fight, Yan Ding knew that he couldn't entangle with these people, and four of them volunteered to stay behind.

Although he knew in his heart that these were more and more auspicious, Chang You saw Jiang Yi who was getting farther and farther away, and he also made a decision, took a deep look at the four salt dings, and quickly broke away from the battle and chased after the rest of the people.

The direction of Jiang Yi's escape is due north, and the north of Shouguang to Laizhou Bay is a plain loess, and the only place where traces can be hidden is Guangling Town.

Guangling Town was abandoned a few years ago, and the aborigines were scattered, but many refugees passed by and went south every day, and in the first few days of coming to Guangling, there was no trace of Jiangyi.

Just when Changyou and the eight people were a little depressed, thinking that Jiang Yi was let go by himself and the four brothers died in vain, that afternoon, Changyou saw a familiar figure in Guangling Town.

Although I didn't see the front, judging from the back of the walking in his clothes, this person was the hall master of the Smelling Fragrance Sect - Jiang Yi!
