"Are you ......" Zhong Chengyi was shocked, and just as he was about to say something, he saw Ge Lao coming over.

Ge Lao put his hands behind his back, with a look of pity on his face, and said to Zhong Chengyi: "We are encircling and suppressing pirates, not the Tang family's army. ”

After speaking, Ge Lao glanced at Yan Hongxin.

Yan Hongxin nodded, and then simply raised the knife and killed Zhong Chengyi.

As soon as Zhong Chengyi died, the entire Tang family army fell into a kind of panic, although those Tang family troops were still struggling to resist, but it was obvious that their resistance had lost the momentum at the beginning, and even, if it weren't for the fact that their Tang family army was also trained by the Tang family, just ordinary soldiers, I am afraid that someone would have thrown the weapons in their hands a long time ago, and the navy would have begged for mercy.

Of course, regardless of whether they will really beg for mercy or not, Xiao Xiantang means to burn the Tang family's army, so he doesn't plan to let go of a Tang family's army, so this is a life-and-death battle with no roundabouts.

Yan Hongxin and others were determined to kill the Tang family's army, and the soldiers of the Tang family's army also understood this, so they also gritted their teeth, thinking that they would not lose money by pulling a cushion, and they would make money by killing one more, so they began to resist desperately and slaughter the Dinghai.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the Ding Navy is not afraid of death, and the Tang Army is brave and good at fighting, the two sides meet together, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Ding Navy is not as good as the Tang Army, but the morale is very high, so after a fight, both sides have dead and wounded, if it is not for the Tang Army at this time, the Ding Navy wants to fight against the Tang Army, and it is not so easy.

At this moment, a war drum sounded, followed by a distant trumpet.

Yan Hongxin and Ge Lao looked at each other for a moment, and then raised their heads at the same time to look into the distance, only to see that on the sea in the distance, more than a dozen warships were lined up, and the warships standing on the warships were officials of the state capital, and the flags were flying high, which made Yan Hongxin and Ge Lao's faces change greatly.

"Reinforcements, the Tang family army actually called for reinforcements, it's really a big deal." Ge Lao said.

Yan Hongxin gritted his teeth, they fought against the Tang family's army, it was already very difficult, at this time, there was another batch of reinforcements from the state capital, where would they still have room for victory?

"Do you want to withdraw?" Yan Hongxin looked at Ge Lao, although he was very unwilling to give up the victory that was within reach, but for the sake of today, of course, it was the best policy to leave Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood, and to protect the navy first.

Just when Ge Lao nodded and planned to evacuate with Yan Hongxin with the Ding Navy, a white figure swept onto the boat, and the two looked at it, it was actually Mu Chonglan.

"Nine girls, why are you here?" Ge Lao was a little confused, and a little worried, now the two armies are fighting, it is not like the absolute crushing when fighting with the pirates before, this time they are evenly matched, and if they are not careful, they may injure Mu Chonglan who is here.

Yan Hongxin also looked at Mu Chonglan and asked a little strangely, "Ninth girl, is Lord Xiao also here?" ”

Mu Chonglan nodded: "He's in the back, let me bring you a tip." ”

After speaking, Mu Chonglan handed over the bag he brought to Ge Lao.

Ge Lao opened the bag, glanced at it, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Yan Hongxin saw that Ge Lao was stunned, a little puzzled, and leaned over to take a look, but on the silk cloth in the bag, there were only four words written: "Fight to the death." ”

"Lord Xiao, do you know that we are fighting hard against the Tang family's army?" Ge Lao asked with a wry smile.

Mu Chonglan nodded: "I know." ”

"Then does he know that there are more than a dozen warships coming from the state capital?" Ge Lao asked again, he felt that Xiao Xiantang's sentence of "fighting to the death" probably also knew that there was support from the state capital, otherwise he would not have said such four words, let them fight to the death, after all, they were just fighting with the Tang family's army, they still had a good chance of winning, and they would not have to "fight to the death".

When Mu Chonglan heard Ge Lao's words, he nodded again, indicating that what Ge Lao said was not wrong, and Xiao Xiantang did know.

In fact, before Mu Chonglan asked Su Chengmo to investigate Xiao Xiantang's news, wanting to see what Xiao Xiantang was doing, but after Su Chengmo investigated, it was only now that they were fighting with the Tang family's army, but this time Xiao Xiantang did not go directly, but took people to observe the situation from a distance, and let the Ding Navy fight against the Tang family's army by himself.

For this, Mu Chonglan was actually a little incomprehensible, she felt that Xiao Xiantang directly brought people over, defeated the Tang family's army, and then left with the Ding Navy, which was the best way, and it was also the way to minimize the casualties of the Ding Navy.

After all, the combat effectiveness of these Tang family troops is really strong, and she has seen many soldiers of the Ding Navy die miserably, which makes her a little unacceptable.

However, now, Mu Chonglan faintly has a guess, that is, the reason why Xiao Xiantang stayed on the periphery and did not show up, and only let the Ding Navy and the Tang Army fight to the death, is to make the stalemate between the Ding Navy and the Tang Family Army into a bitter battle that no one can help anyone, so as to lead to those reinforcements in the state capital.

It's just that...... Doesn't Xiao Xiantang know how many Ding Navy soldiers they sacrificed in order to attract those reinforcements from the state capital?

Mu Chonglan lowered her head, she faintly felt that even if Xiao Xiantang knew, she would probably do it, because he was doing great things, and if he became a big thing, there would be sacrifices, and the sacrifice of the navy was also for the victory in the future, and he would not continue to cause more casualties.

Killing to stop killing, she understands, but she is always a little unacceptable.

However, looking at everything in front of him at this time, Mu Chonglan's mood quietly changed slightly.

Perhaps, she sympathized with the Tang family army at the beginning, because she knew that Xiao Xiantang was going to burn the Tang family army, thinking that those Tang family soldiers would be burned alive by Xiao Xiantang, she felt that the soldiers of the Tang family army were very pitiful, but when she really came to the battlefield and saw the Ding Navy that had fallen to the ground, she was a little resentful.

What the Tang family army is like, she doesn't know very well, but what the Ding Navy is like, she is clear, she knows that these men in the Ding Navy are all good men who stand up to the sky and swear to protect this sea area, so many years of repeated defeats have not wiped out their pure heart to protect this sea area, such good men have been strangled by the Tang family army.

War is cruel, there is nothing right or wrong, some are just different positions, Mu Chonglan is now in this situation, looking at everything in front of him, he began to hate the Tang family, and he no longer resisted Xiao Xiantang's idea of burning the Tang family.

It can be said that Mu Chonglan is not that smart, so many of her actions are based on instinct, just like now.
