This failure came too suddenly, and even Ghost Li didn't have time to make any psychological preparations, in Ghost Li's consciousness, entrenched in Heifeng Mountain for more than ten years, even the several encirclements and suppressions of Jiedu Mansion failed to really do anything to themselves, so in this area of Guangzhou Mansion, although Ghost Li is not yet an underground emperor, but it can be regarded as a hegemon.

It's just that the sudden fiasco at the moment made Li Gui a little uncomfortable, and he was even completely unwilling to believe and accept the facts that had happened. In addition, not long ago, his mount rushed into the trap pit and threw Li Ghost hard, at this moment, Li Ghost not only looked a little trance, but the whole person felt that his body was about to fall apart, and even felt that he would not be able to die to those horse thieves on the battlefield in the distance behind him, and suddenly he would become a limp corpse, and his soul was scattered.

The red-haired ghost also failed to run out with him, Li Ghost knew that he had died in the melee, and at the same time, Li Ghost also recalled everything he had witnessed not long ago, it was definitely not an ordinary army, let alone the Southern Navy that had only been trained for more than three months, of course, Li Ghost couldn't see clearly at night, let alone pay attention to the flag of the Southern Navy, but the strong combat effectiveness and breathtaking momentum made Li Ghost think of it, only the Jiedu Mansion can mobilize several elite garrisons.

At present, the route of Ghost Li's escape is a road that only a few core figures in Black Wind Mountain know, and from this road to the side of Black Wind Mountain, there will be a hidden path leading to the mountain. Of course, the red-haired ghost also knew about this road, but after running for so long, Li Ghost noticed that there was no movement behind him, and he was a little frustrated while rejoicing.

Fortunately, his escape was not discovered, which proved that he was at least safe at the moment, and the frustration was that most of the living forces in Black Wind Mountain, including the hardcore henchman red-haired ghost, were surrounded and suppressed in the battle just now, no matter whether those horse thieves were dead or alive now, Ghost Li knew that the force no longer belonged to him.

After nearly half an hour of wild running, Li Ghost finally came to the little-known trail with more than ten horsemen who survived and escaped, and after driving the mount away, Li Ghost dragged his tired body and took more than ten horse thieves along the trail to climb the Black Wind Mountain with difficulty.

At the foot of the Black Wind Mountain, the war has gradually subsided on the huge battlefield, and there is basically no fighting, killing and killing, except for a small number of horse thieves who are lucky enough to escape, the rest of the people have almost become the souls of the dead in this battle.

The generals of the Southern Navy have their own duties, some are responsible for cleaning up the horse thieves who are not completely dead on the battlefield, some are looking for the casualties of their comrades for emergency treatment, and some are running around the battlefield with a small team of men and horses, patrolling and guarding everything around.

Several core figures of the Southern Navy also quickly found Ding Li's location after arranging their own affairs, and gathered one after another, and even Xu Hong arranged for someone to reload the bed crossbow back into the donkey cart and carefully put it away, and then rode a horse to Ding Li's side, lest he miss out on a good show.

"Report! Our troops slaughtered one hundred and seventy-nine of the enemy's heads! ”

"Report! We have killed two hundred and three of the enemy's heads! ”

"Report! Our unit has killed 127 enemy heads, and there are still two squads searching for the fleeing horse thieves nearby! ”

"Report! Our unit killed 141 enemy heads, and has now been put into cleaning the battlefield! ”

After Qin Mo, Wang Ling, Gouzi and Xiao Lizi arrived at the scene, they reported the results one after another, Ding Li nodded slightly after hearing this, and turned his head to Xu Hong, who had just arrived at his side, and instructed: "Verify and sort out the reports of various departments, report to the Jiedu Mansion in the coming day, and reward meritorious deeds!" ”

"No!" Xu Hong also heard a series of battle reports just now, and when he smiled, he opened his mouth again after answering, looked at Ding Li with a hesitant face, and asked in a low voice: "Then, the brothers in charge of the bed crossbow?" ”

"Don't reveal too much about the bed crossbow for the time being, although it's not a secret anymore, but don't make any reports on the bed crossbow this time!" Ding Li had already thought about it in this regard, although the Southern Navy was allocated by the Jiedu Mansion, but Ding Li didn't want to completely expose the military strength of the Southern Navy so early, not to mention that it was still such a good time to fight at night, almost from the sky.

"On the issue of war merits, let's share some of them equally!" Immediately looking at Xu Hong's embarrassed face, Ding Li smiled and patted the other party's shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry!" Although the brothers did not go to the battlefield in person, the training on weekdays was more than several times harder, and they had such a good performance on the battlefield for the first time tonight, how can it be said that there is no merit? ”

"yes, that's what I thought." Xu Hong hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief, especially after Qin Mo, Wang Ling and the others nodded along with Ding Li's words and agreed to share a part of their respective battle exploits, Xu Hong suddenly smiled, at least in this way, he could also go back and explain to the brothers around the donkey cart behind him.

If you want to say how much lethality the bed crossbow caused to the horse thieves in Black Wind Mountain just now, in fact, there are only two rounds of salvos in total, but thirty iron crossbows, especially the second round of launches, due to the scattered formation made by the horse thieves in time, has led to a sharp decrease in the lethality of the bed crossbow, but it is undeniable that the deterrent effect of the bed crossbow to the horse thieves cannot be ignored, and even at the opening of the battle, it has played a decisive role.

There are not many enemies to kill, but each bed crossbow requires a lot of manpower, just the winch needs eight people, and there are two crossbowmen who are personally controlled, and each bed crossbow is even equipped with a commanding herald, and the manpower used in fifteen bed crossbows is close to two hundred, which is almost enough to catch up with the strength of a regiment.

And if the battle exploits with only dozens of kills and injuries are distributed to everyone, it is obviously too little, which is also the reason why Xu Hong came in a hurry, just to let Ding Li personally open his mouth and give some of the battle exploits to those brothers who have worked hard with him.

Then Ding Li asked everyone to count the battle losses of their subordinates and make a report, when the results came out, everyone including Ding Li was undoubtedly very excited, this battle, the Southern Navy was undoubtedly a complete victory, only sixteen soldiers were killed, and only a few people were seriously injured, although there were dozens of nearly 100 lightly injured, they could almost not be counted in the battle damage statistics at all, and even would not affect any combat effectiveness at all.

Just listening to this battle report, Ding Li and the others can imagine that after Xu Hong presents the battle report to the Jiedu Mansion in Guangzhou City the next day, what kind of expression will the Jiedu envoy Li Zhen and even the group of people in the Jiedu Mansion be on the spot, and Ding Li also thought further, maybe it will be much easier for the Southern Navy to continue to expand its armaments in the future.

But then, there were small-scale disputes and disagreements over how to deal with the remnants of the horse thieves on the Black Wind Mountain.

"Brother Li, give me thirty brothers, I will go up the mountain to suppress the Black Wind Cottage!" Kuroko was the first to stand up and ask for battle, as if he was afraid that Ding Li would not agree, jumped off the horse and clenched his fists at Ding Li, and asked for his life with a solemn face.

However, it was obvious that Kuroko was a little too impulsive to consider the actual situation, and the first to refute it was Xu Hong, who had just received some combat exploits from everyone, and immediately frowned and shook his head to veto Kuroko's proposal: "No! As far as our intelligence knows, there are more than 1,000 horse thieves gathered on Black Wind Mountain! Even if we are already seriously injured now, it is not difficult for us to calculate from the battle report just now that there are at least about 300 horse thieves in the stockade on the Black Wind Mountain! And the Li ghost of Black Wind Mountain also escaped, presumably he will also find a way to return to the cottage, if he sticks to the cottage, I am afraid that if he wants to kill the Black Wind Cottage in one fell swoop, it will not be as easy as we imagined! ”

"That's right, what Xu Senjun said is true!" Qin Mo also jumped off his mount and stepped forward, arched his hands towards Xu Hong and Ding Li respectively, and threw a kind look at Heizi, and then raised his eyes to see Ding Li put forward his own opinion: "But I also agree with Brother Heizi's opinion, now the Black Wind Cottage has been defeated!" Our army should take this opportunity to take the cottage directly and break it with one blow! So as not to let Ghost Li get a chance to breathe, or even let him bewitch the horse thieves in the cottage to resist to the death again, at that time, my army may have to pay some unnecessary price! ”

"Listening to Brother Qin's meaning, it seems that he is going to drive up the mountain overnight, and at dawn he is going to storm the cottage and exterminate the bandits in the Black Wind Cottage in one fell swoop?" Without waiting for Ding Li to express any opinions, Wang Ling asked a rhetorical question leisurely, and at the same time as Qin Mo nodded in response, Wang Ling turned over and got off the horse, first swept the surrounding officers and soldiers of the Southern Navy who were still busy cleaning the battlefield, and then took a deep breath, stared at Qin Mo with his eyes like a torch, and asked in a deep voice: "But did Brother Qin ever think that the brothers marched for a day, and then set up camp in the evening, and then rushed here to ambush without the slightest stop, and now Brother Qin proposed to attack the mountain overnight, do the brothers still have the strength to attack the cottage?" ”

"Although the officers and men of our army are weak at the moment, the horse thieves on the mountain are also not much better, and now our army has just won a great victory, and the morale is unprecedentedly high! And if the horse thief knew that they were already dead wood, he would definitely lose his fighting spirit! Although Qin Mo agreed with Wang Ling's concerns, it did not mean that he agreed with the other party's questioning, and even put forward a-for-tat rebuttal, and even concluded loudly at the end: "Under the advantages of one and the other, I personally think that now is undoubtedly the best time to break through the Black Wind Cottage in one fell swoop!" ”

"That's right! I agree too! Heizi only reacted now, Qin Mo, who first agreed with Xu Hong's point of view, was actually wearing a pair of pants with him, and immediately agreed, and then did not forget to add the reason he forgot to say just now: "Besides, although there is a group of horse thieves on Black Wind Mountain, there are also old and weak, and those who can be taken down the mountain by Ghost Li to attack our army's camp must be a group of tough bandits!" It is inferred in turn that those who remain in the village on the mountain are a group of old and weak people! If our army takes this opportunity to go up the mountain to attack, it will definitely be able to surprise and get twice the result with half the effort! ”

"No!" Seeing that the main battle shout had been shouted, Wang Ling immediately raised his hand and shouted, and at the same time glanced at Ding Li, and then objected in a deep voice: "Don't forget that the officers and soldiers of our army are just as tired now, and going up the mountain will also consume physical strength. ”
