Chapter 899: Pursuit
Long Xin's sudden answer gave Xinye Cao Jie and the three of them a great inspiration, the Dongjiang Army would indeed withdraw when it had a complete upper hand only if Mao Wenlong was wounded.
There is no doubt about this, even if Mao Wenlong is not injured, at least he has some kind of disease. Otherwise, the Dongjiang Army would not have such a performance, and after affirming such an answer, Xinye Cao Jie suddenly became excited.
The Dongjiang Army had already begun to fight on its own, and although the spies returned, the Dongjiang Army was still in good order when it withdrew. However, whether the military spirit is firm on the battlefield or not can be related to the outcome of the outcome, and now the military spirit of the Dongjiang Army has been seriously damaged.
If you let go of such an opportunity and let the Dongjiang Army leave safely, it will definitely not be Xinye Cao Jie's style. He did not hesitate too much, and even ordered a tentative pursuit.
This time, the mountain tiger did not ask for battle, but Long Xin took the initiative to ask for help, but he asked the mountain tiger to bring a ring arrow to assist him. The power of the Dongjiang Army's hot air balloon cannot be underestimated, and there is a lesson from the past few days, Long Xin does not dare to be careless at all.
Subsequently, more than 100 warships broke away from the Dongying army and urgently attacked to pursue and kill the evacuated Dongjiang army. Thirty warships carried modified arrows and were specially designed to deal with the hot air balloons of the Dongjiang Army.
These thirty warships were commanded by the Mountain Tiger, and the rest of the warships were commanded by Long Xin alone. The two cooperated tacitly, set up a formation, and attacked at full speed to catch up with the Dongjiang army.
Xinye Cao Jie stood at the bow of the ship, holding a telescope in his hand, silently watching them leave. And Noji stood beside him, silent, waiting for the good news ahead.
"Lord Wang, we have only dispatched more than 100 warships, will it be too child's play?" Nohara asked with a little concern.
"How many warships would you have to dispatch?"
When Xinye Cao Jie heard this, he turned around abruptly, staring at Nohara's gaze with a cold gaze. After a slight pause, he continued, "Since it is only a tentative pursuit, it is better to be careful. No matter how reasonable the calculation is, it is still an estimate, and only when our calculation is confirmed, it will not be too late for the whole army to attack. ”
Hearing this explanation, Nohara knew that he had just talked too much. Immediately did not dare to continue chattering, and then stood aside after saying yes.
The Dongjiang Army had evacuated smoothly, and the Dongying Army did not react much. But when Haoda and the others thought they could relax the air, spies came to report that the Dongying Army had dispatched more than 100 warships to start the pursuit.
Cheng Zuo and Adou's reactions were similar, they were both surprised, thinking that the Dongying Army knew the details of the Dongjiang Army. And Haoda didn't think so clearly, he was happy.
Without saying a word, he hurriedly said goodbye and left, saying that he wanted to teach these Dongying troops who came to harass him a cruel lesson.
Chengzuo temporarily commanded the whole army, but he did not stop the great impulse, but supported his approach this time. After all, only by scaring the Dongying Army and proving that the strength of the Dongjiang Army is still there, will these Dongying Army not dare to easily get involved in danger in the future. The Dongjiang Army can also withdraw safely!
The huge movement was extremely fast, and after taking off in a hot air balloon, it went straight to the rear of the army. When he arrived, he immediately found more than 100 warships of the Dongying Army that had followed him.
At this moment, there are more than 200 hot air balloons, and the vast army does not look at the more than 100 warships of the Dongying Army at all. Without too much hesitation, Haoda immediately ordered an attack.
However, an adjutant general stopped in time: "General, don't be careless." ”
Haoda is very unhappy, there are still people who dare to make him unhappy at this juncture. Xun Sheng looked, but saw that it was his own henchman, Hao Daqiang suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and asked coldly: "Li Xiao, if you kid don't give Lao Tzu a reasonable explanation, be careful of your ass blooming." ”
Li Xiao is a young man who is less than 1.6 meters tall, but he can mix in the status he has now. It proves that this kid must have his excels, and he will be valued by Haoda.
And Li Xiao did not disappoint Haoda, he clenched his fists and smiled bitterly: "General, two hot air balloons were destroyed by the Dongying Army just now. There are those arrows in the Dongying army that make us scruples, so please be careful. ”
Hearing this, Hao Da was stunned for a moment, and the blood in his heart was also poured with a basin of cold water. Turning around and seriously looking at the Dongying Army warships that were following behind, the vast number of telescopes did find something wrong.
"It seems that these Dongying devils are prepared!" Haoda let out a sigh of emotion.
With the arrows of the enemy army that can rival the hot air balloons, he must not be careless. Fortunately, this is not the first time that Haoda has encountered such a thing, and there are still many ways to deal with it.
After some deep thought, Hao Dacai ordered again: "Li Xiao listens to the order, gives you fifty hot air balloons, and goes to contain the enemy's warships with ringing arrows." ”
Li Xiao frowned when he heard this, feeling that things were very difficult. According to his previous observations, he found that at least thirty to forty of the enemy's more than 100 warships had arrows. However, the great general only gave him fifty hot air balloons, and asked him to go and contain all the enemy threats.
Such a task is difficult to complete, and if one is not careful, his life will have to be lost on the battlefield. But Li Xiao was obviously not a timid person, and after hesitating, he gave up his life.
Haoda had been paying attention to his changes, and after Li Xiao made a decision, he smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, you kid does have a kind." Go ahead, if you can make meritorious service this time, Lao Tzu will give you merit, and the benefits will be indispensable to you. ”
"General Xie was promoted, Li Xiao will never dare to forget!" Li Xiao didn't shirk it at all, and directly accepted the benefits of the vast promise.
Haoda didn't mind Li Xiao's ignorance, but became more and more satisfied with his performance. After chuckling twice, he waved his hand and sent him to run errands.
After Li Xiao left, Haoda ordered again to make the remaining hot air balloons ready to attack immediately. As soon as Li Xiao succeeds, it will be the time for their whole army to press up and torture the enemy.
Shan Hu led thirty warships equipped with arrows, and he was always paying attention to the changes in the hot air balloons of the Dongjiang Army in front of him. When they saw dozens of hot air balloons break away from the array of the army and begin to pounce on them. Shan Hu's face was not shocked but overjoyed, because there were only dozens of hot air balloons, and he was completely confident that he could resist it.
However, Li Xiao was not stunned, he did not rush directly to fight as the mountain tiger expected. The fifty hot air balloons led by Li Xiao stopped moving three hundred meters away from the Tiger's warship.
The mountain tiger suddenly realized that something was wrong, and before he could react, Li Xiao had already scattered the fifty hot air balloons. Prepare to besiege the Mountain Tiger warship, as long as the hot air balloon is in place, it will inevitably be a fierce attack!
