Chapter 18 broke through and returned to Jize, and entered the swamp for the first time to meet the water puppet
"Say it again!"
Full of surprise, Kublai Khan stared at Li Xin with a shocked expression. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
couldn't help the anger in his heart, he took the horsewhip from his side, and hit Li Xin with his head. Li Xin didn't dare to dodge, so he could only take a few whips with force, and the whip was so powerful that he directly tore off his clothes, leaving a bloody mark on his skin.
Enduring the pain, Li Xin groaned and replied, "Neiqiu." Just last night, Neiqiu was captured by the Red Phoenix Army. The defender Yelugu and he were dead, and I was the only one who broke out of the siege of the Red Phoenix Legion. ā
"Chifeng Army, I saw them wandering around Lincheng yesterday, why did they just run to your inner hill after a day and night's work?" Kublai Khan didn't believe it, and continued to ask, staring at Li Xin with suspicion: "Could it be that you didn't make a contribution to let the Red Phoenix Army capture Neiqiu?"
With Lincheng as the center, the four cities of Neiqiu, Tangshan, Longping, and Baixiang are the locations where their encirclement is set up, and the role played is to be able to resist the Chifeng army a little, and then give the main force of Lincheng a favorable time, and then completely annihilate the Chifeng army.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Neiqiu has already fallen, and the defense line he has worked so hard to set up has completely collapsed?
"Tell Your Highness. ā
Li Xin explained: "It was late at night. I got up and went to the bathroom because I had an urgency to urinate. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a person suddenly broke into the barracks. This person was extremely strong, and he directly killed all of them, including Yelugu and everyone, in just one moment, and there was a strange sound rhythm, which made the entire army of soldiers drowsy, and was taken down without any resistance. Fortunately, I was still outside the camp, so I grabbed a war horse and escaped, otherwise I am afraid that I would not have seen Your Majesty. ā
Yang Weizhong's eyebrows tightened, obviously confused by this sudden incident: "It should be Xiao Yue and Xiao Xing." These two people once faced Yao Shu, and they were only one step away from achieving the realm of earth immortals. With the strength of the two of them, it would be easy to solve the people of Neiqiu. ā
With a plan of action determined in such a short period of time and carried out quickly, it seems that the Red Phoenix Army is also full of talents.
On the other side, Na Suhun Cha was also surprised, and opened his mouth to ask, "If that's the case, then wouldn't I have a wasteful game?"
"Pretty much. According to the current situation, I am afraid that the Red Phoenix Army has already moved towards the south and broken through the encirclement of us. After several wars, the other side has captured forty or fifty thousand war horses, and their movement speed is no worse than ours. If the other party left this place late at night, then I am afraid that he has already arrived in Ren County. Yang Weizhong was full of sadness, obviously annoyed that his hard work had fallen short.
I thought I was bound to win, but I didn't expect to punch me out, and it was really uncomfortable.
Kublai Khan was also extremely annoyed: "If this is the case, then this time I am afraid that I can only do it." As soon as he turned around, he stepped on the war horse and replied to Suhuncha: "If this is the case, then I will be the only one who will personally lead the team to continue to chase the red thief." This time they can escape the encirclement, but not the next time. ā
"If so, then what should I do?" asked Suhuncha immediately, "Is it to act with you, or to remain stationed here?"
"You, if you don't bother, you can follow us. Kublai Khan replied casually, but saw that Yang Weizhong shook his head and vetoed: "No." In my opinion, you don't need to follow me, General, you can act on your own!"
Su Hun Cha was slightly surprised: "Why?"
As the saying goes, with more people and more strength, and more troops, they can naturally have more possibilities to defeat the Red Phoenix Army, why does Yang Weizhong have a negative opinion?
"The reason is simple. Because if there are more people, the march will be slowed down. If this is the case, it will be difficult for us to catch up with the Red Phoenix Army. If you can't catch up with the Red Phoenix Army, how can you talk about exterminating the Red Phoenix Army?" Yang Weizhong slowly explained: "It is precisely because of this that I think the general will open his own army, enter the Nangong from Ning Jin, and then directly intercept the other party's advance direction by Luoshui. In this way, we will definitely be able to buy enough time for our two armies to trap each other completely. There will be no escape!"
Su Hun checked the time and opened his mouth to ask, "If that's the case, I'm afraid it will take ten years." Within these ten days, will you be able to force the Red Phoenix Army into the combined attack site?"
"It's nature!" Kublai Khan replied loudly, "In ten days' time, I will definitely let that guy know how good we are." With that, he waved the whip in his hand and drove the war horse under him towards the distance.
The Chifeng Army acted last night, and it was noon at the moment, and by the time the whole army was mobilized, I was afraid that it would already be evening.
In ancient times, because of the lack of carotene, most of the soldiers were night blind, and it was difficult to move at night. Because Xiao Feng is a doctor, he let the soldiers in the army use a lot of vegetables and fruits early in the morning, and he is not afraid of night travel and night battles, which is why he can transfer in a day and night, and then capture Neiqiu.
Therefore, the Mongol army can only set out tomorrow morning at the earliest, which is a full day behind, and such a distance is enough for the survival of a city.
Kublai Khan felt terrified at the thought of what the Red Phoenix Army might do under his rule, lest he fall behind and sacrifice his people in vain.
............
Jize County, Maoguanying Village.
Silently looking at the village in the distance, Xiao Feng sighed: "Going around and returning to the original point, it seems that I still have to say hello to them." "After all, there is not much food and grass left in the army, and if it is not replenished, I am afraid that it will be in danger.
She didn't want her army to starve and turn into the ogres on the bone road.
On the side, Wang Shiyi showed a little hesitation and said, "Lord." According to my opinion, we are only afraid that it is not appropriate to enter it now!" accidentally rolled his eyeballs and secretly glanced at Xiao Feng, but he was a little uneasy.
"Why?" Xiao Fengqi said.
Hard-headed, Wang Shijian said helplessly: "Because the village chief of their village, Mao An, died." The villagers suspect that you did it. ā
"Oh?" "Poof", Xiao Feng laughed: "What is the basis for this?"
"Because Na Mao An died in a firearm, those people suspected that we were deliberately trying to take the food from the village, so they were hostile to us. Wang Shizhi explained.
Xiao Feng was surprised: "So that's the case." In that case, it is all the more important to get into it and explain our intentions clearly. You know, we're planning to open up a base here, and if we lose our reputation because of something unwarranted, we'll make up for it. Immediately, she kicked Bai Lin and carried herself towards the village.
After Bai Lin stood still, the villagers in the village all saw Xiao Feng here.
Their expressions were slightly surprised, but also a little afraid, of course, even more afraid of the majestic power in their bodies, so everyone kept their mouths shut, not daring to say anything.
"Rank!"
Xiao Feng swept over the surrounding people and said loudly, "I already know about the death of the head of your village. I regret and feel guilty for his death, after all, he met me and died under firearms. Theoretically speaking, I must be the most suspicious of the Red Phoenix Army. It is precisely for this reason that I assure the rank that no matter who killed him, the Red Phoenix Army will investigate to the end and uphold justice for everyone. Whether it was the Tartar who killed him or the people of my Red Phoenix Army, he would be arrested and brought to justice. ā
The powerful voice immediately made everyone look at Xiao Feng with surprise.
If it is another army, after coming here, it is not common to rely on force to rob food, it is also common to pass women, and as for killing people or something, it is also commonplace.
Now, the woman in front of her said that she wanted to uphold justice, and such an attitude really made people feel strange, thinking that there was fraud in it.
It's just that one is indispensable, the first time may be fake, then the second time may not be so, does this woman really intend to support justice for the village chief who has nothing to do with the Red Phoenix Army?
Thinking of this, Uncle Mao walked out, although his legs were trembling, he brackered his body to look at Xiao Feng and asked, "What if the murderer is really your person?"
"Of course, they will be found out and brought to justice. That man violated the three disciplines and had his own way of death. If these people are allowed to fight in our army, how can it be shown that our army is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness?" Xiao Feng frowned, and his beautiful face showed a bit of sacredness, which immediately convinced everyone.
It would be fine if a person had this discipline, but if he could restrain his subordinates and abide by this discipline, it would be incredible.
Hearing Xiao Feng say this, most of the people in Maoguanying Village already believed it, they had already suffered too much, so once they met someone who was really good to them, although they didn't dare to say that they were reassured, a trust had already been planted.
After everyone retreated, Xiao Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw that Wang Shiyi was still standing at his side, he asked, "How are you doing your work here these days?"
"Tell my lord. There are so few remaining farmers in the area that we have not yet been able to fully restore local rural production. Shaking his head, Wang Shiyi showed a little annoyance.
Xiao Feng was surprised: "There are too few farmers? What is the reason for this?" Since the Warring States period, there have been people cultivating here, and the land is fertile and the water source is abundant, and it has always been a large grain producer, among which there are tens of thousands of people, but there is no one here?
"According to our survey. They were all kidnapped by the water puppet Yin Luosha!" Wang Shiyi took a long breath and let himself calm before he spat out his true words.
Xiao Feng couldn't help frowning, and asked again, "Is the water puppet Yin Luosha the water bandit last time?"
"That's right. It's this man. We suspect that Mao An, the head of Maoguanying Village, was also killed by this person. Its purpose is to provoke contradictions between its villagers and us, and thus to sow discord. Wang replied loudly.
"Oh, dare to break ground on the lion's head, it seems that the guy is also a bold master. The corners of Xiao Feng's mouth couldn't help but provoke a smile: "Then are you sure of each other's location?"
Wang Shiyi immediately showed a little shyness: "The other party is hiding in the mainland. That continent is a hundred miles in circumference, and it is full of swamps and dense forests, if you want to find the place where the other party's nest is, I'm afraid it's very difficult!"
"Now that we know this person, we just need to set a trap and lure them out. ā
Xiao Feng smiled even more, and said again: "And don't you think that the water puppet Yin Luo Sha can be entrenched here for many years, and there is no accumulation in his camp? If they are willing to join us, then this place will be a base for us. ā
When Wang Shixing heard this, he immediately realized: "My subordinates understand." The subordinates will go and prepare. After that, he had already retreated, ready to start thinking about what means to use to lure out the water puppet Yin Luo Sha or his subordinates.
That Yin Luosha has been able to entrench in this place to this day, either because he has some mysterious thaumaturgy, or he has some kind of divine weapon, if he wants to lure this person out, or find his hiding place, it is not an easy task!
Wang Shiyi accepted this task, naturally knowing the difficulties, and now he can only search around to see if he can find a clue.
"Perhaps, I should go to Mao Renfeng and see if he has any clues?"
At this moment, he even thought of the young man who had helped him.
............
On the mainland, a flat boat made waves.
Looking carefully at the scene in front of him, Mao Renfeng frowned, stared at the dense jungle next to him, and muttered: "I saw someone break into here before, why haven't I seen it now?"
Since the death of his grandfather, he has been keeping an eye on the movements in the village.
After all, if he was able to kill his grandfather in the village without moving, the perpetrator must be a familiar person, so Mao Renfeng secretly lurked to find out the person. As he expected, sure enough, in the middle of the night, a man in black entered the village with the intention of exhuming the body of his grandfather, and in anger, Mao Renfeng naturally stepped forward, although he stopped the man's movement, but he was also escaped by the man in black because of his weak strength.
Mao Renfeng naturally chased all the way until he entered the mainland, and even went deep into this place without giving up.
It's just that he just came here, but he didn't see the other party, which is a little weird.
The boat went deeper and deeper into the swamp, and Mao Renfeng couldn't help frowning: "What's the fog?" I saw that the water vapor in front of me was getting thicker and thicker, and even wet the placket and sleeves, and it was the sun in the center of the sky, which was also obscured by this increasingly dense fog, making it impossible to see the movement in the distance.
Suddenly smelling a burst of incense into his nose, Mao Renfeng was immediately startled, and shouted in a low voice: "Oops, it's miasma!" was about to use Xuan Gong to resist, but he suddenly felt that the true yuan was stagnant, and he actually felt that his body was weak, and he almost fell to the ground.
Mao Renfeng was about to move cross-legged to resist the miasma, but suddenly heard a whistling sound, and when he opened his eyes, he saw several rattans like poisonous snakes, rushing straight towards him.
The rattan is just a plant, and it is absolutely impossible to swing it around like a whip, and it is clear that the rattan is controlled by man.
"It's the water puppet!"
With a "sonorous" sound of the long sword, Mao Renfeng didn't know his current situation, and immediately swung his sword and slashed at the rattan.
