Chapter 147: Capture the Thief
"Hu Gu Lu Dan!" The bear-helmeted warrior in the golden light felt to turn back, but saw a heart-rending scene.
What did he see? His brother and best friend, a Golden Body Realm powerhouse with the glory of a bear helmet, had his head cut off by a soldier wearing ordinary armor! Ignorant Karmic Fire suddenly took control of this bear helmet warrior's body, and trampled the earth, he wanted to seek revenge on Ling Qingyun!
"Go!" but a hand pressed firmly on his shoulder, and the Warrior of the Bear Helmet looked back and was about to roar, only to see an old, dejected face.
It was Huang Guwara, his monarch and eldest brother, and the man he respected most, who had fearlessly exterminated the disastrous beasts and demons, and fought their leaders in close combat, and he had proudly challenged the supremacy of the clan, and had almost become the patriarch of the Shanjing clan. He is like a tiger king, even if Chi Twilight still has ambitions that cannot be discredited, crushing all the Xiaoxiao who dares to challenge to pieces.
But what did he see? The old man seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, his face as bright as gold finally highlighted the wrinkles that his whole age should have, and his eyes, which should have shone with thunder, were clouded, and the unbeatable maniac finally realized the frustration, which was a greater setback than the failure of the rebellion.
In the rebellion, his opponent was a deep-rooted patriarch faction, and the opponent's strength was three times the number of strong men, but in such a bad situation, Huang Guwara almost killed the Shanjing patriarch, only one line away from victory, and led his men and horses to escape after defeat...... It can be said that although he was defeated, he was still glorious.
But this time, he was defeated by an opponent who was far inferior to him in terms of strength and gold body in the home field he operated, and was beaten by the so-called Nanming cavalry and fled...... At this time, Huang Guwala felt that he was really defeated, he was not only inferior to his nephew, but also inferior to a general of Nanming Academy, what could he do to compete with the overlords of all parties on the Qinghe Continent?
The Bear-Helmed warrior was so moved by the change in Huangguwara that he could not refuse his orders when the man he respected most was so weak, so he had to suppress his anger and follow Huangguwara in a quick retreat, a decision that made him feel lighter—and he escaped the fate of the day without his knowledge.
"It's a pity!" Lin Qiancheng, Chu Yulong and a few others shook their heads because of the retreat of this Golden Body Realm, how could they not blush when they saw Ling Qingyun kill the Golden Body Realm powerhouse? Naturally, they thought about killing this Golden Body Realm! Maybe they might not be able to win one-on-one, but they could be like Ling Qingyun who was unexpectedly attacked and even besieged, and at that time, the cooked duck in the thousands of troops and horses would still be able to fly?
But the strong people in the golden realm are bent on retreating, and they can't stop them, a group of teenagers sigh with admiration, and finally use their powerful destructive power on the fleeing enemy, they don't care much about ordinary bandits, they mainly chase and kill the mountain warriors, and pick the wolf helmet!
In the past, the animal skin and animal helmet, which symbolized the symbol of strength, became a life-seeking talisman, and the mountain warriors who were coerced by the bandits also wanted to cry without tears, but the warriors were warriors, and after returning to their senses, they also played a great role in the escape, and they smashed away the bandits around them and rushed straight to the old nest on the top of the mountain.
Amid the earth-shattering shouts and cries, the defeated army rushed to the lair, telling them that this was their only chance to survive.
"Kill!" a young Nanming cavalryman chased after him on horseback, refusing to let the tiger return to the mountain. The saber slashed through the back of the bandit, causing him to scream in pain, but it burst out with an incomparably strong potential and a surge in speed, and then ...... Step into the pit.
One after another, the screams sounded, more than a dozen pits appeared, dozens of thieves disappeared directly in the field of vision of the cavalry, looking into the hole, but saw that the pit was at least one zhang deep, one by one sharpened wooden stakes pierced the bandits, ordinary people fell down is certain death.
"It's so dangerous, if you don't drive the bandits forward, it's us who fall in!" A group of cavalry reined in a cold sweat, they really have no way to deal with this kind of trap, fortunately, today's battlefield has been checked and cleared in advance, otherwise the casualties will be more tragic when encountering similar dangers, and even the battle situation will be rewritten.
Then there was another scream, mostly from the bandits, some of them were cut in half by huge traps, some fell into the iron hook net and were cut to blood, some were bitten by poisonous snakes, and some were hit by rolling stones and rolling wood...... They knew that these traps existed, but they panicked under the pursuit of the Nanming cavalry, but they could only die in vain.
In contrast, the situation of the Shanjing warriors was much better, shuttling through the mountains and forests to arrange traps was their specialty, even when they were chased and killed, they never lost their vigilance, so they almost did not die in the traps, and even lured the Nanming cavalry into the trap, and with the lesson of blood, the soldiers who pursued the victory realized what it was to be poor and not chase.
"Can't move forward!" Commander Lin Yu looked up at the mountains and forests, the heights of Zhu Mountain were even more steep, and there were still levels set up, I don't know how many traps were waiting for them, not to mention that the cavalry attack on the mountain was extremely limited, and Huang Guwara took advantage of the terrain to counterattack with bows and arrows, spears and rolling stones, etc., which would bring big trouble.
In the face of unfamiliar dangers, the Nanming cavalry had to stop, they looked at the enemy who fled into the mountains and were unwilling, but at this time they were indeed exhausted and difficult to fight again.
"We need to clear the mountains and forests and pull out the traps, otherwise forcibly attacking the mountains will be filling in with the lives of the brothers!" A general was unwilling, there were too many traps in the forest, and the strong attack might lose hundreds of people, and the death here was not caused by fighting, it was almost a vain death.
"It's okay, go back to treat the wounded, torture the prisoners, and make a plan to attack the mountain, after this battle, the main force of Huangguwala has been destroyed, and it will never be a climate again. Mo Yingyong looked at the figures who rushed to the top of the mountain with burning eyes, and commanded the generals.
The generals ordered, and in order to ensure that they would not suffer a counteroffensive, the Southern Ming cavalry began to clean up the battlefield and count the results.
"In this battle, our army annihilated 7,100 enemies, including 1,800 Shanjing warriors, including at least 16 wolf helmet warriors and four bear helmet warriors!" After returning to the camp, Mo Yingyong announced this exciting result, and the cheers in the camp could almost lift the sky, so startled that the Jiangzhou envoy almost sat down on the ground.
Although the results of the battle are brilliant, the losses are also extremely heavy, the Nanming cavalry killed nearly 300 people on the spot, and more than 500 people were seriously injured, it is difficult to recover in a short period of time and even have life-threatening, among which there are more than 200 disabled people, the rest of their lives will be affected, a strong man with a golden body died on the spot, and the other was also seriously injured and dying, I don't know if he can be saved!
Nanming students can be said to be specially protected, and they also wear amulets on their bodies, and Rao is so that there are still five teenagers who died here, becoming one of the people who died in the training.
In addition, the equipment was damaged, and the casualties of the war horses were countless, which was not discussed.
"This is the cruelty of war!" Ling Qingyun clearly realized this, and he had gained the feelings and gains that the academy's cultivation and other experiences could not bring during this expedition.
Upon learning of the victory in Zhushan, the Jiangzhou Prefecture quickly sent a series of baggage, wound medicine, and condolences, and also sent many alchemists and Langzhong, but they were very embarrassed in terms of equipment, saying that it was difficult to help.
Mo Yingyong expressed his understanding that in order to prevent the expansion of the power of the imperial court, the major forces in Jiangzhou strictly restricted the channels for the state government to obtain weapons and equipment.
However, he asked that the seriously wounded be brought into the city to rest and recuperate to avoid the spread of the fighting, and the governor gladly agreed.
After resting for a few days, Mo Yingyong led the whole army to begin to survey the terrain, make preparations for attacking the mountain, and through the information provided by the captives, many traps were investigated, and even many traps were discovered by the strong man with a golden body, and finally opened up a road that could be climbed after some efforts.
But the attack on the mountain after is really difficult, the mountain Jing warriors condescendingly with rolling stones, tung oil and other things to make the Nanming cavalry suffer, tentative attack roar Mo Yingyong had to order a retreat, this mountain is really difficult to attack, the strong attack will be heavy casualties.
In the end, Mo Yingyong decided to complete the crackdown on bandits in another way......
Night, the military camp of the Southern Ming Army.
"There weren't even patrols, but the tent was brightly lit and the air was filled with the smell of alcohol...... Is it true that as the intelligence said, they were proud of their achievements and began to get drunk and dream of dying?"
"Sons, let's kill, kill every Nanming cavalry here, and take revenge!" With the old man roaring, a group of warriors dressed in animal skins roared wildly and rushed into the barracks, intending to use this night raid to wipe out their mortal enemies!
But after most of the Shanjing warriors rushed into the barracks, the light suddenly rose, and the military camp at night was as bright as day, and a group of Shanjing warriors were stimulated by the sudden strong light to cover their eyes and scream, only to hear the sound of the sound breaking through the air, and the cold hairs stood on end.
They were all too familiar with the sound, it was a feathered arrow breaking through the air!
"Fooled!" Huang Guwara and other bear-helmeted warriors roared angrily, resisting the bursting arrows that fell in their direction with all their might, blooming like fireworks, comparable to the dense explosion of the all-out attack of the Stone Spirit Realm, tearing the bear's skin and golden body to pieces, and some bear-helmeted warriors were shot by random arrows after bearing the explosion, and they died blindly.
The sound of the explosion gradually stopped, and before the bear-helmeted warriors could breathe a sigh of relief, they were shocked to find that the runes on the ground were intertwined, extremely powerful, and then the flames and lights surged intensively, and the two bear-helmeted warriors could not resist it, and they were wiped out in ashes, and the rest of the golden-body powerhouses also escaped in embarrassment, but their bodies were scorched black burns.
With a dull loud sound like thunder, the black-armored cavalry came out from all directions like ghosts, staring coldly at the opponent who came to the door, with brilliant guns, catching turtles in the urn and harvesting them in rows.
"The old man wants to burn the jade with you!" Huang Guwala roared angrily and pounced on Mo Yingyong, who was coming with his head high, and at this moment, Mo Yingyong's weapon was magnificent, and his eyes were shining, as if a god had descended. He fought proudly, and quickly suppressed Huang Guwara, who had been wounded and attacked one after another.
The generals slaughtered and began to strangle the seriously injured bear helmet warriors, although these golden body powerhouses of the Shanjing clan were furious, they could not turn the tide.
Qingfeng and the giant sword collided and stirred, and the fire that sputtered out was like a meteor, Ling Qingyun calmly watched the bear helmet warrior with his eyes cracked, and another sword slashed down like a streamer.
"I, Gao Mu Moore wants to tear you apart and avenge the Gu Lu Dan!" the Bear Helmet Warrior roared, and the giant sword in his hand erupted with terrifying power to knock Ling Qingyun back again and again, although he was scarred, the pain caused by the burst arrow and thunder fire brought the pain of tearing muscles, and the blood supply to his heart became more and more difficult, but he was still sure that he could crush this yellow-haired child who had been beaten to a pale face and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth!
"It's time!" Ling Qingyun's eyes flashed with a cold glint, but he saw that the runes on his arm loomed, the shadow of the green dragon surrounded, and the golden rays of the Qingfeng Sword burst into flames and increased to extreme speed, breaking through the flaws of the giant sword, and in an instant, it swept through the throat that was as indestructible as invincible armor that shone with golden light.
"Gommour!" Gommmore widened his eyes and staggered backwards, a trail of blood in his throat, and the blood was flowing irretrievably.
With a clang, the giant sword fell to the ground, and Gao Mumore's eyes glared angrily, his eyes full of incredulity.
No way, why hasn't the golden body healed, but just a wound in my throat, how can it make me so weak? This young man uses evil power, he is the devil!
He tried his best to shout out the identity of the devil on the other side, but he didn't do it after all, and fell to the ground miserably.
"Pathetic!" Ling Qingyun, who had jumped over the corpse of his opponent, sighed softly, this person was a wicked person who followed Huang Guwara, but the righteousness he showed at the last moment could be called affectionate.
If righteousness is like this, why should you embark on the evil path?
He also began to be convinced that his current fighting ability was really not under the ordinary golden body.
The Nanming boy and the Nanming cavalry continued to rush and kill, and since the Shanjing warriors stepped into the camp, they had lost any hope of survival.
It was a battle, and the Shanjing warriors were all wiped out.
"Hahaha!" In the end, Huang Guwala, who was pierced through the chest by the halberd and tied to the sealing rope, cried and laughed, and finally glared at Mo Yingyong like a lion: "You've got it!"
"Not bad. Mo Yingyong nodded calmly, this old man is also a fierce opponent, and he is qualified to understand the cause of his defeat.
It's just because his psychology has been calculated: although it is difficult for the Southern Ming army to conquer Zhushan, they are not in a hurry, they can still get good food and drink from the Jiangzhou Prefecture, but the group of thieves trapped on the top of the mountain is short of food and low morale, and if they don't take the initiative to attack, they can only sit and wait for death.
When there is hope for revenge, the proud Huang Guwala will surely seize this last chance to fight back, and will not want to be trapped in the mountain, even if the success rate of this opportunity is less than 1 percent.
"What do I want to do with me?" Huang Guwala looked at Mo Yingyong, he still held his head high, without the slightest fear.
"If this person is handed over to the Jiangzhou Prefecture, the Shanjing clan may be a hindrance, and many Shanjing nobles have a very good relationship with them, and the situation of the Jiangzhou Prefecture Governor may not be able to withstand the pressure. The old staff member said beside him: "As for bringing it back to the academy, it is a long way to go, and it is inevitable that there will be many dreams at night, and our Nanming Academy is not suitable for executing prisoners......
"Then execute him on the spot!" Mo Yingyong waved his hand and decisively decided, this person set off a rebellion in his own clan and went to the outside world to harm the people, which can be said to be the culprit.
"Yes!" the old man nodded, and all the generals also smiled, this is exactly what this kind of villain should be, and he must not show mercy to his subordinates!
"Hahaha!" Huang Guwala burst out laughing again, this time without saying anything, and held his head held high to accept the trial.
Until the executioner cut off his head, Huang Guwara's eyes remained wide, as if staring at the starry sky, questioning the sky.
The elders of the Shanjing tribe who set off the rebellion, and the lord of the bandits who shook Jiangzhou, Huangguwala, ushered in the end.
