Chapter 18: The Coffin
Twenty miles away from the harbor town of Yingzhou Island, the Great East China Expeditionary Army set up camp here, and the main commander of the battalion was Huo Dayou, the deputy general of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.
Huo Dayou sat in the position of the main general, looking at the captains waiting in the field, his brows furrowed, and he was extremely angry.
"What's the matter, a small harbor, can't you take it up yet? What are you all doing to eat!"
In the face of the general's reprimand, the captains glanced at each other, and their faces were also embarrassed.
"General Qiyu, it's not that the soldiers of our army are not brave enough, but the enemy's resistance is indeed too tenacious, we have ordered a strong attack according to the general's orders, but these soldiers of the East Island are infinitely powerful, and even one person can compete with more than a dozen or even twenty of our soldiers, plus they have been hiding in the town, and they have been maneuvering with us and others by the terrain, and now there are many brothers who have fallen into their ambush, which can be said to have suffered a lot!"
Hearing the words of this captain, Huo Dayou actually knew that what the other party said was the truth, but being blocked here by such a hundred and ten people, it was difficult to advance an inch, and he was afraid that he would provoke the jokes of his colleagues when he said it, you must know that the entire East Island has almost fallen into the hands of Dahua, as the only port on Yingzhou Island, the location of the harbor town is extremely important, and now most of the important towns have long been controlled by the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and there is actually only this one place left.
Seeing his colleagues completing the tasks one by one and taking the credit in their hands, Huo Dayou was extremely anxious.
"Can we just watch the enemy show off their might, and we are helpless?"
"General, if you don't count the losses, whether you live or die, it's not impossible, just one round of rockets, set the entire harbor town on fire, and ......"
Before the captain could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Huo Dayou's wave.
Of course, Huo Dayou knew that if he could do this, where would he be so troublesome, but the order from above was to occupy Yingzhou Island without destroying it and with minimal casualties among the residents of Yingzhou Island, so such a method was absolutely not feasible!
"Report!"
At this time, a scout rushed into the camp in a panic, and was about to say something, but he was instantly frightened by the oppressive atmosphere in the camp and did not dare to speak.
"What's the alarm?"
Hearing Huo Dayou's question, the scout came back to his senses.
"Report to the general, the rear of our army has found an enemy approaching!"
"Oh, how many centaurs?"
"Five more...... Or six ......"
Hearing the scout's words, Huo Dayou was immediately furious, stepped forward in two steps, and slapped the other party to the ground!
"Bastard things, even people don't see clearly, they are frightened and panicked, what kind of system!"
The scout's face was swollen instantly, but he didn't dare to complain, he got up from the ground, covered his face and looked pitiful, but he still looked at Huo Dayou.
"Will ...... General, it was because Qu Yitong, the master of the East Island, was found in the shadow that I ......"
"Qu Yitong!"
Hearing this name, the people in the camp all gasped, and they fell silent in an instant, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, but they all saw the horror in the eyes of their companions.
"Will ...... General, what should I do now!" the captain of Fang Cai couldn't even speak clearly.
"What else can I do?
Huo Dayou was annoyed, but he was helpless, turned around and kicked over the weapon stand on the side, and then went straight out of the camp tent and commanded the troops to retreat!
......
In the field, everyone followed behind Qu Yitong and was heading towards Harbor Town, and when they walked here, they happened to encounter the camp tent of the Dahua Army.
A few people easily solved a few scouts, but at this time, they suddenly found that the Dahua army began to retreat in an orderly manner.
Looking at the Dahua army that fled in the wilderness, as well as the passage in front of them, everyone was speechless for a while, they didn't expect the other party to be so cowardly, and fled directly before they could fight, such a commander is afraid that it is rare.
However, if Huo Dayou knew that the other party thought so, he was afraid that he would have to be angry, he was just carrying out the order, according to the main general, this Qu Yitong bears the name of killing the god, the posture of the grandmaster, he can form an army by himself, and it is possible for one person to kill their entire establishment, and when he encounters a little to preserve his strength, he chooses to retreat as soon as possible, this Huo Dayou is actually also a fierce general, although the strategy is a little lacking, but he is brave and good at fighting, although he retreats, he is afraid that he will go back and have to be wronged for a while.
"Senior sister, you see that you scared people away!"
Gan Yiqing beside him smiled, but Qu Yitong was still calm and calm, but he just sneered.
"For the sake of them not hurting my Dongdao disciples, let's spare them this time!"
After speaking, Qu Yitong led everyone to continue to march towards Haigang Town, and in the distance on the side was the shadow of the Dahua Army evacuating, and I don't know if it was affected by Qu Yitong.
At this time, the townspeople and guards in the harbor town also showed puzzled expressions when they saw the retreat of the Dahua army, but when they saw Qu Yitong's figure, they instantly understood, and at this time, everyone actually cried together.
"It's the island owner, the island owner hasn't abandoned us!"
Before Qu Yitong walked into the town, countless figures poured out of the harbor town, and when they came in front of Qu Yitong, they actually knelt down one after another, unwilling to get up for a long time.
Looking at these still pious people, Qu Yitong sighed and closed his eyes.
"What are the casualties in the town?"
Hearing Qu Yitong's question, a middle-aged man walked out of the crowd at this time.
"Island owner, the people in the town are not injured, it seems that the Dahua Army does not intend to attack the people, but the guards and the crew of more than 110 people, but all of them are wounded, and there are ......"
Speaking of this, the middle-aged man couldn't go on.
"What else?"
"And ...... Several of the brothers who followed the island owner back to the city had already been killed in battle, and when we got the news and arrived, we could only find their corpses!"
Hearing this, Qu Yitong suddenly had a killing intent on his body.
"Take me to see it!"
"Yes!"
The middle-aged man turned around and walked in front, Qu Yitong led everyone to walk behind, and the group came to the square in the middle of the town, but saw five coffins placed here.
Qu Yitong walked in front of the coffin one by one, but he didn't say a word, at this time, Lin Qi and others also saw the figure lying in the coffin, but when they saw the black charcoal, their hearts trembled.
At this time, Ma Zhanpeng also came close with the support of Hua Qiyuan.
"Brother, thank you for your hard work, rest in peace!"
At the beginning, black charcoal was invited by Ma Zhanpeng to come to Dahua to participate in the competition, so he would meet everyone, although he once lured Lin Qi out of the trap, but it was not out of malice, and Lin Qi did not feel resentful at all, and even always felt that the low-key and simple black charcoal was actually a very good friend.
Seeing his former friend lying quietly in the coffin, Lin Qi felt an indescribable uncomfortable feeling in his heart.
At this time, the middle-aged man walked behind Qu Yitong again.
"Island Master, we must not give up like this!"
Hearing his words, Qu Yitong still didn't look back, but everyone present could clearly feel the killing intent overflowing from her body!
"Don't worry, I will definitely take revenge!"
