Chapter 15: Victory in the First Battle
Wang Lung and Leopard Print had already planned and retreated with one blow. They had no intention of killing the blackface leader, just to buy time for their soldiers to retreat. Now that they have reached their goal, they need to seize the opportunity and find a good way out for themselves.
Moreover, Wang Lung and Leopard Print had long seen that the blackface leader of the Beast Control Empire was a swordsman with a sword body cultivation, and except for their good brother Lin Xu, the two of them together could not defeat him. If you don't get it right, you will lose your life in vain.
"Withdraw!" Wang Lung shouted, and quickly retreated back at about the same time as Leopard Print.
The movements of the two men were very uniform and almost simultaneously, and they retreated in different directions. This made the blackface leader suddenly not know which one he should chase first. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and by the time he reacted, Wang Lung and Leopard had already retreated far away with the favorable conditions of being familiar with the terrain.
Although the black-faced leader will definitely be able to catch up with Wang Lung and Leopard Print if he wants to chase after him, he is worried that Wang Lung and Leopard Print will set up some traps and ambushes on the way, which will be too dangerous for him.
After all, he had already been ambushed by Wang Lung and Leopard Print just now, and he didn't dare to act rashly again. He felt that it was the right thing to do before he stopped and found out the true situation of the kamikaze camp before attacking on a large scale.
After the blackface leader made up his mind, he stopped chasing Wang Lung and Leopard Print. He turned around and tried to kill the soldiers of the 31st and 32nd squadrons of the kamikaze battalion, but the soldiers were also very clever. Under the leadership of rice wine, they advanced and retreated together.
When he heard Captain Wang Lung's order to retreat just now, he immediately retreated with him. After all, the soldiers of the Beast Control Empire are also like their black-faced leaders, afraid that the kamikaze camp will have many traps, and they don't dare to advance as boldly as before.
This gave Huangjiu time to lead his brothers to retreat. They were able to retreat almost all of them and did not lose many soldiers. On the other hand, on the side of the Beast Control Empire, I saw a cry, dead and wounded, it was really miserable.
The black-faced leader couldn't help but grit his teeth with hatred when he saw that he had lost so many people, but now he had no choice, and he didn't dare to attack the kamikaze camp immediately, so he couldn't talk about revenge immediately.
In desperation, the blackface leader could only order his squadron leader to retreat with his soldiers. They found a relatively wide place to camp, and had to send more soldiers to stand guard and sentry so as not to be attacked by the kamikaze camp again.
After this battle, the blackface leader was extremely irritable. He didn't expect that he would bring so many men and horses, but he still couldn't capture the kamikaze camp in one fell swoop. And he saw that the men and horses dispatched by the kamikaze battalion just now were only two squadrons at most, and he actually beat his seven squadrons straight back.
The blackface leader secretly regrets his recklessness and contempt for his enemies. But none of this has helped. He can't revive the soldiers who have fallen into the trap, let alone bring them back to life, so he has to accept this very cruel reality.
All the Blackface Leader can do now is to carefully plan his next move, in the hope of being able to capture the kamikaze camp more quickly and open the prelude to the invasion of the Shenghua Empire.
Wang Lung and Leopard Print's base were sneering, and they couldn't help but be doubly happy when they could see the black-faced leader of the Beast Control Empire retreating in embarrassment with the soldiers.
"Haha! They all say that the Beast Control Empire is very powerful, and I don't think that's it. The leopard's face was filled with a look of great pride. This battle really made him feel too much to enjoy.
"Yes, even if their leader is a sword body cultivator, we dare to fight with him. Wang Lung also said loudly with great joy.
"They've retreated far enough. We should go and take the loot that belongs to us. Leopard Print happily reminded Wang Longdao.
"Okay, I'll let Huangjiu lead the team to clean up the battlefield, and by the way, I have to rearrange the traps in case they suddenly attack after dark. Wang Lung immediately responded with leopard print.
Leopard Wen heard that Wang Lung was more thoughtful than himself, and not only secretly admired Wang Lung's carefulness and resourcefulness in his heart.
"Rice wine!" Wang Lung immediately called out to rice wine.
"Captain, what are your orders?" Huang Jiu immediately ran to Wang Lung's side.
"You immediately take thirty brothers to sweep the battlefield, completely kill the enemy who has not yet lost his breath, and pull Wu Wai and the ironclad horse back. The wounded horses will be killed, and tonight we will drink and eat horse meat together. Wang Lung gave an order to Huangjiu.
"Yes, Captain. Huangjiu was very happy to accept the glorious task given to him by Wang Lung.
In fact, in Huangjiu's view, this task is not only glorious, but also fun, and there is no danger at all. The soldiers and horses that fell into the trap would not have been lethal in the slightest, if not completely dead.
Huangjiu immediately selected thirty soldiers to clean up the battlefield. Some of the soldiers of the Beast Control Empire did not die immediately after falling into the trap and being hit by the bayonet, but only croaked in pain in the trap.
Whenever this happens, Huangjiu and his soldiers are all swords, mend them with a knife, and send them directly to the western sky. On the surface, it seems that their actions are cruel, but in fact, they give those half-dead enemies a pain, and it can be regarded as making them suffer less.
From this point of view, the practice of rice wine is not only not cruel, but also very humane. Those who died may be grateful to them.
And for those horses that fell into the trap, Huangjiu followed Wang Long's instructions just now, if they were not injured, then keep them for future battles, and if they were already injured, then they didn't need to be treated, and they were directly killed to eat horse meat.
This time, the two squadrons of the kamikaze battalion not only captured a lot of weapons, but also got a lot of horses and food, enough for them to eat for a while.
At night, the bases of the two squadrons were brightly lit and full of people, as if they were celebrating a big festival. In fact, tonight for the two squadrons of the kamikaze battalion, everyone felt even happier and more happy than the festival.
With the exception of a few soldiers who had to stand guard outside, everyone in both squadrons gathered together to drink and eat horse meat. The smell of horse meat wafts through the air, and people can't help but salivate when they smell it, which shows how delicious these horse meat is.
After three rounds of drinking, Leopard and Wang Lung were already slightly drunk. But their consciousness was still very clear, and there was not the slightest blur. Especially Leopard Print, not just enjoying drinking wine and eating horse meat, he couldn't help but think of Lin Xu, who was still cultivating hard in the underground earth house.
Thinking of Lin Xu, he felt a little regretful. Because in his opinion, it would be a great thing if Lin Xu could also sit with him now and drink and eat horse meat. Otherwise, his heart will always feel empty, as if there is one less person, and as long as he thinks about it, he will feel a little depressed.
Leopard Print didn't hide this thought of himself at all, and immediately said it directly to Wang Lung, saying, "If the boss can complete his cultivation now, get out of the customs smoothly, and drink and eat meat with us, how good it would be." ”
"That's right, it's not just you who think so, but I also think that Brother Lin can get out of the customs early. We're still looking forward to him repelling the attack of the Beast Control Empire. "Wang Lung originally had the same thoughts as Leopard Print.
He's right. Even though the Beast Control Empire has been wiped out by them with two squadrons, the other party still has nearly five squadrons of men and horses, and the strength is strong.
In today's battle, the reason why the two squadrons of the kamikaze battalion were able to win was entirely due to the use of trap tactics and the surprise of inflicting a heavy blow on the enemy, so that they were able to achieve such a great victory.
If the blackface leader of the Beast Control Empire in the future had already known about Wang Long and Leopard's tactics and had been prepared for the traps they had laid, then it was unlikely that they would have won.
After all, the black-faced leader of the Beast Control Empire is a sword body cultivator. The strength is strong, far from being able to deal with Wang Lung and Leopard Print. They must have Lin Xu's help to have the certainty of completely winning the blackface leader. Otherwise, their lives are still on the verge of life and death.
"Leopard Print, why don't we go to the underground earthen house to see Brother Lin, if we are lucky, we may be able to meet him tonight, and it will be the best. Wang Lung was also worried about Lin Xuan in his heart, so he immediately made a suggestion to Leopard Print.
"Okay, that's what I want, let's go, go see the boss. When Leopard Print heard Wang Lung's words, he couldn't help but be happy and immediately agreed.
As he spoke, Leopard Wen stood up impatiently and walked straight towards the underground earthen house where Lin Xuan was cultivating. It seems that his mood is several times more anxious than Wang Longlai, and he can't wait to see Lin Xu immediately.
Wang Lung was particularly careful. Before leaving, he did not forget to confess to Huangjiu and said: "You take care of the brothers here, and you are not allowed to make trouble." Leopard print and I went to see how Brother Lin was cultivating. ”
"Okay, Captain, I know, you can rest assured, I promise to be safe. Huangjiu immediately nodded in response to Wang Lung.
"Good. Wang Lung nodded approvingly at Huangjiu, and patted him on the shoulder.
Wang Lung had complete confidence in Huang Jiu's ability, even if he was not present, he would be able to shake the scene and manage the soldiers properly, without adding to his sorrow at all.
Therefore, after Wang Lung finished telling the rice wine, he immediately followed the leopard print, and entered the secret base of the kamikaze camp underground, and came to the door of the earthen house where Lin Xuan cultivated.
The wooden door of the earthen house was closed, and the icy cold air kept coming out of the earthen house, condensing into a thick layer of ice on the wooden door. Obviously, the wooden door had not been opened for a long time. That meant that Lin Xuan was still cultivating hard in the earthen house, and there was no sign of leaving the customs at all.
