Chapter 1298: Night Attack (2)
The small courtyard where Bai Jiang lived was also surrounded by a large number of officers and soldiers, and the fighting was extremely fierce. But Bai Jiang is nowhere to be seen, obviously, Bai Jiang is no longer here at this moment.
And on the small hillside three miles outside the city, Bai Jiang was standing on a high place, raising his eyes to look at the city that had become brightly lit in the distance. Behind him stood the Great Elder Chang Qing with a worried face, and he hesitated for a while before he opened his mouth and said, "Sect Master, the sect members in our city are afraid that there will be many bad luck. ”
Bai Jiang retracted his farsighted gaze, stared at Chang Qing indifferently and said, "If you want to achieve great things, how can you not pay casualties." ”
"But there are too many sectarians staying in the city, and after tonight, I'm afraid there won't be one out of ten sectarians staying in the city." Seeing Bai Jiang's indifferent expression, Chang Qing became more and more worried.
The forces in the city are the achievements of the Sun Moon Sect for many years, but now they are caught in the urn. If nothing else, after tonight, the cultists in the city will definitely be wiped out. Chang Qing really didn't understand why Bai Jiang was still so indifferent in the face of such a large casualty.
Feeling that the emotions of his subordinates around him began to become restless, Bai Jiang no longer concealed it, and said bluntly: "Mao Wenlong's counterattack came so quickly, and he knew the many secret strongholds in our city well. The Dark Guard rushed to all of our strongholds as soon as they counterattacked, so you haven't seen that our hiding place has already been exposed? ”
The words immediately woke everyone up, and that's when they realized that something was wrong. Chang Qing was even more stunned, and said with a face full of shame: "What the sect leader said is extremely true, and his subordinates are extremely stupid. ”
"Without further ado, now is not the time to make mistakes. Our battle with Mao Wenlong officially began tonight. Although we have lost the power in the city, it is not necessarily a bad thing. At least from now on, Mao Wenlong will not be able to control our whereabouts. The enemy is clear and I am dark, the advantage is still on our side, and we still have the final say when we want to fight Mao Wenlong. Bai Jiang showed a solemn smile and said coldly.
Chang Qing and the other altar masters who escaped together all came over suddenly, and their eyes of worship fell on Bai Jiang's body, and they were extremely admired.
Bai Jiang didn't linger long, and after removing the doubts in his subordinates' hearts, he immediately ordered to evacuate, and soon disappeared into the vast night.
The fighting in the city continued until dawn, the city gates were still closed, and the streets and alleys were full of officers and soldiers with serious expressions patrolling. The dark guards were busy cleaning up the remnants of the Sun and Moon Cult, and the night's fighting didn't seem to have affected the ordinary people in the city. Although they were confined to their homes, they were not injured by mistake.
The cold wind stayed awake all night, staring at the development of events in the city with injuries. It wasn't until dawn that he was informed that the purge had gone quite smoothly, and that all the forces of the Sun and Moon Sect in the city had been caught to death, and very few had been able to escape.
Upon receiving this news, Leng Feng was quite relieved, this was already a good sign of an official war with the Sun and Moon Sect. He hurriedly went to report to Mao Wenlong and told him about the battle situation.
However, after Mao Wenlong learned the news of the victory, there was no joy on his face, but fell into deep thought, and he did not speak for a long time.
Leng Feng suddenly became apprehensive, and his heart began to panic as he watched Mao Wenlong fall into deep thought. When the cold wind didn't know what to do, Mao Wenlong, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally spoke.
"Is there any news from Baijiang?" Mao Wenlong said this coldly.
The stunned cold wind reacted after a while, and hurriedly bowed his hand truthfully: "Chief soldier, there is no news about Bai Jiang's whereabouts yet. ”
Mao Wenlong frowned and sighed softly: "Bai Jiang is really not so easy to deal with. ”
Leng Feng didn't think so, and he said, "Chief soldier, we have cleared out the Sun Moon Sect members in the entire city in just one night. Fucheng was completely under our control overnight, and he Baijiang had no place in Fucheng in the future. We are victorious, why is there still a deep sense of worry in the tone of the general soldiers? ”
Mao Wenlong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "On the surface, we have the upper hand, which is indeed true, but the most important thing is that our purge this time did not really hurt the strength of the Sun and Moon Sect." We haven't caught any of the key figures, so what's the use of killing as many sect members? Besides, the disappearance of Shirae means that we will once again face an enemy in the shadows. ”
"It's easy to dodge with open guns, but it's hard to defend against hidden arrows. Bai Jiang directly abandoned the city and hid in the suburbs this time, obviously having already planned. Don't be careless in the cold wind, be careful of capsizing in the gutter. Mao Wenlong looked at the cold wind and admonished.
Thinking back to the whole operation last night, Leng Feng suddenly came to his senses, immediately put away the smug look on his face, and then assured Mao Wenlong with a straight face.
It's still a mess outside, and if you want to completely get rid of the remnants of the Sun and Moon Sect, it's not something that can be done in three or two days. And Mao Wenlong has no trace of Baijiang here for the time being, and he can only wait and see what happens.
In the afternoon, it was rare to have a leisure, and Mao Wenlong was about to lie down and rest for a while. Unexpectedly, there was a knock on the door, the cold wind was uninvited, and his face was full of joy, laughing and saying to Mao Wenlong: "Chief soldier, good news ......"
Mao Wenlong asked directly: "When did you make you so happy?" ”
Leng Feng didn't dare to sell Guanzi, and replied: "Jingshi just sent news, saying that there has been great progress on the Luzon side. Marshal Chen Jisheng and Marshal Chen Qiyue have already begun to clean up the nest of the Sun and Moon Sect, and they have gained a lot. ”
"Oh, what's the catch?" When Mao Wenlong heard this, he immediately became interested.
When he came to Fucheng to encircle and suppress Baijiang, he ordered Chen Jisheng to take action against Luzon. It's only been less than two months, and I actually say that I have gained a lot. Mao Wenlong still didn't believe it at the moment.
"Chief soldier, according to the news, Marshal Chen Jisheng and they have launched a comprehensive round-up. The main cadres of the Sun and Moon Sect in Luzon suffered heavy casualties, and the king of Luzon and all the princes and nobles involved in it had escaped. In other words, the current Luzon is completely in the hands of Chen Jisheng and them. And the power of the Sun and Moon Sect has collapsed in Luzon, and once the news reaches Fucheng, then Bai Jiang will definitely not be able to calm down. It is not impossible that he will secretly return to Luzon immediately. The cold wind was full of joy.
Mao Wenlong nodded and agreed with Leng Feng's guess: "In this way, the Sun Moon Sect is no longer a cause for concern. ”
Leng Feng hurriedly added: "Please give the order of the general soldier to launch a comprehensive pursuit of the Sun and Moon Sect." ”
Mao Wenlong said without hesitation: "Accurate!" ”
"Yes!" Leng Feng responded loudly, and then hurriedly said goodbye and left, and one order after another was passed out. All the secret guards in the city immediately took action and led a large number of officers and soldiers out of the city to face the Sun and Moon Sect.
