Episode 10 Chapter 433
Chapter 433: Mo Jiang didn't find anything strange in the proprietress's tavern, so he immediately led a large group of Mo soldiers to search for TXT downloads elsewhere.
As soon as they left, the landlady was like a deflated rubber ball. She leaned on the door panel and slowly slid to the ground. Life and death were hanging on a thin line just now. To say that she was not nervous or afraid would be a lie. No matter what She pretended to be calm on the surface, but in fact, the cold sweat had already soaked her clothes. Now that the danger was over, her tense nerves relaxed, and a feeling of fear immediately swept over her. The landlady felt that her legs were weak and she wanted to stand up. Can't stand up either.
Even Tang Yin let out a long sigh in his heart. He finally managed to get through this level. In the next two days, the proprietress's tavern can be regarded as a safe place for people like him to hide.
He walked up to the proprietress who was sitting on the ground, stretched out his hand, pulled her up, and asked with a smile: "What? Are you scared like this? If you can afford to open a black shop, you can't be so timid!"
Listening to his sarcastic words, the fear in the landlady's heart was successfully transformed into anger. She threw away Tang Yin's hand, put one hand on her hips and pointed at Tang Yin's chest with the other, and asked angrily: "Tell me, what trouble did you get into?" , How could so many soldiers be alarmed?"
Tang Yin was amused, shrugged and said: "The boss lady seems to have forgotten our original agreement, you do your thing, we do ours, and we don't interfere with each other!"
"But now that you have brought trouble to me, I must know what is going on!" the landlady said uncompromisingly.
After looking at each other for a moment, Tang Yin finally softened his tone and said calmly: "We have offended a very high-ranking general!"
Seeing that the landlady still wanted to ask questions, he waved his hand and said sternly: "That's all I can say, no need to ask anymore, and the more you know, it may not be a good thing."
To be able to alert so many soldiers, to have so many soldiers stay up late at night searching the city, the people they provoke must not be simple. The landlady rolled her eyes and angrily hummed: "If you don't ask, don't ask." Wait until dawn tomorrow, things will naturally be revealed.
Before dawn, the news of Xu Lengzhi's assassination had already spread throughout the city.
When the granary in the city was burned down, the Mo army was actually in dire straits. The reason why their morale had not collapsed was entirely due to the support of Xu Lengzhi. People also wanted to believe that this respected naval commander would lead his side out of the predicament.
But now that Xu Lengzhi has been killed by an assassin, and the entire army is leaderless, who else can resist the Fengyu coalition forces outside the city? Who can lead them out of the siege? How can the next battle be fought?
The assassination of Xu Lengzhi became the last straw that broke the camel's back. The morale of the Mo army suddenly fell to the bottom. People no longer had any hope for the Battle of Bufeng. Panic and despair spread like a plague. The whole army spread quickly.
When people moved Xu Lengzhi's headless body back to the county capital, there was silence in the huge county capital. The courtyard was filled with generals of the Mo army. The faces of the generals became uglier than the last. The scene was terrifyingly quiet, with only the sound of breathing. A gasping sound.
The first person to break the silence was Ma Qian. He looked around at the generals present, then looked up to the sky and sighed, shaking his head and saying quietly: "The old general was killed, and our side has lost its backbone. If we continue to fight, not only will we not be able to defeat the Fengyu Alliance Army, I'm afraid we will also lose our backbone." The entire army will be annihilated. According to... In my opinion... No, for the sake of the entire army, we... we should... surrender..."
After he said this, the faces of everyone present changed. Judging from the current situation, surrender seems to be their only way out, but no one dared to say this. Now that Ma Qian has said it, people will immediately I felt excited, but also secretly ashamed.
As soon as Ma Qian finished speaking, a general Mo strode out, stood still in front of him, and said coldly: "Ma Qian, the old general just died, and you are here to enchant the morale of the army. Are you worthy of the old general's presence?" Tianyingling?”
When he looked up, he saw that the person who stood up and scolded him was none other than Xiang Wen, the fierce general. Ma Qian shrank his neck in fright, not even daring to breathe, and took small steps to back away.
Xiang Wen is a popular figure in front of Shao Fang, and he is also a brave and skilled general. Together with Lian Ge, he is known as the two gods of war in Mo country.
Ma Qian dared to provoke others, but he would never dare to offend Xiang Wen. He whispered submissively: "To... General Xiang, it's not that the lower-level officials are greedy for life and fear of death or trying to gain the morale of the army, but... it's that our army really has no hope of holding on."
"Hmph!" Xiang Wen snorted coldly and said, "I haven't settled the accounts with you for the murder of the old general! The assassin who killed the old general was the guard beside you. Mr. Ma, how do you explain it?"
"Oh, this..." Ma Qian's heart trembled and he said urgently: "Xiaguan... I don't know how the assassin got into the shi guards, but... I can swear to God that the assassin will definitely Not under the orders of lower officials..."
Although the assassin was Ma Qian's bodyguard, he could guess it without asking. The assassin must have nothing to do with him. Even if he had a hundred courages, he would not dare to send someone to assassinate the old general. However, this does not mean that he has no responsibility.
Xiang Wen glared at him and did not continue to ask. Instead, he turned around, looked around at the generals, and said in a deep voice: "Old General Cheng Ren, but our soldiers must not be separated, let alone surrender. We must inherit the legacy of the old general. , and are incompatible with the enemy!"
Xu Lengzhi was killed, and Xiang Wen, the highest-ranking and most reputable person in Mo's army, now that he has stood up to speak, the generals do not dare to say no more.
Seeing all the generals sitting upright and bowing their heads and obeying orders, Xiang Wen nodded with satisfaction and said loudly: "I have decided that tomorrow night, our army will make another breakthrough. This time we will break through the enemy camp no matter what, and then regroup and fight with The wind thief fights to the death to avenge the old general!"
"No generals will obey orders!" The generals agreed simply, but they didn't have any confidence in their hearts.
The last time our troops were at full strength and under the personal command of the old commander, the breakout failed. Now that the troops have been reduced a lot, and the old commander was killed by an assassin, can the breakout be successful?
Seeing everyone's concerns, Xiang Wen cheered up and encouraged the generals: "Generals, don't worry. Now that our army's food and grass have been destroyed, and the old general has just been killed, the Feng Army must think that our army dare not take the initiative to break through again, so we will arrest them." Follow the arrogant mentality of the wind thief, catch him by surprise and attack him unprepared, and you will be able to succeed with one strike!"
Hope so! After listening to Xiang Wen's eloquent words, the generals were still demoralized and lacked fighting spirit. We all serve as ministers in the same palace and as generals in the same tent. Who doesn’t understand who the other is?
It is definitely more than enough to let Xiang Wen charge into battle, and let him lead the troops to fight. Even if ten Xiang Wen are tied together, they will not be as good as one Xu Lengzhi. But now Xiang Wen has the highest rank in the military, and people can only obey his command and dispatch.
By the time it dawned the next day, the news of Xu Lengzhi's murder had spread to the whole city. The landlady also found out the details from Mo Bing, who came to dine.
She couldn't believe her ears. Could Ma Wu and those people be the assassins of General Xu Lengzhi? This is incredible, how can they be so capable?
The proprietress had to look at Tang Yin and others with admiration and was very curious about their identities. Of course, she was smart enough to keep silent. Now she could understand what Tang Yin said to her. The more she knew about some things, the more bad things would be.
She was also afraid that Tang Yin and the others would kill her to silence her. They could even kill Xu Lengzhi, let alone a widow like her who didn't know martial arts!
There was nothing to say during the day, but late at night, Xiang Wen followed his plan and secretly gathered all the Mo army officers and soldiers in the city. Taking advantage of the cover of darkness, the entire army left the city from the south gate, with people holding grass in their mouths and horses holding horses in their hands. The coalition camp rushed quickly.
Xiang Wen's formation was very unique. He placed the cavalry with the fastest charging speed at the front.
According to the normal formation of troops, his approach is obviously wrong. The speed of cavalry is much faster than that of infantry, but it is not a siege force. No matter how fast it runs, it will rush to the camp before the enemy can react. They moved forward, but that was useless. They could only circle outside the camp, waiting for the infantry to come up to launch an attack and coordinate operations.
However, Xiang Wen arranged a large number of dead soldiers among his own light cavalry. Their mission was not to kill the enemy, but to directly crash into the camp gate and village wall of Fengying. It would be best if they could crash through it, but even if they couldn't, they still wouldn't be able to. It is necessary to knock the camp gate and the village wall loose to create convenience for the follow-up infantry attack.
His move really had a miraculous effect. The Mo cavalry was famous all over the world for its fast speed. Moreover, the horses had their bells removed and their hooves were wrapped in grass and vines. When they galloped, there was no deafening sound from the galloping horses. , only a low muffled sound.
When the Feng soldiers on guard discovered the enemy's situation, the Mo cavalry was less than a mile away from the Feng camp. When people rang the alarm gongs and the archers climbed up the wall one after another, preparing to draw their bows and fire arrows to resist the enemy, Mo Cavalry was already approaching.
The dead soldiers of the Mo Army followed Xiang Wen's orders seriously. When they arrived in front of the Feng Army camp, they did not slow down at all. Instead, with sweat covering their eyes, they rushed forward regardless.
Moma was running fast enough, and it also hit people and horses at the same time. Its inertia was so great that it was conceivable that if there were people blocking the front, more than ten people would be knocked out.
A series of loud banging sounds were heard in the ear. The wall of Fengying was shaken repeatedly by the impact. Many soldiers on it were unable to stand and were thrown off the wall.
At this time, the Mo army used the cavalry as a rush vehicle. The continuous suicidal strikes overwhelmed the strong wind camp, especially at the camp gate. The continuous strikes would destroy several wooden stakes holding up the camp gate. The earthquake broke, and the gate shook violently and crumbled.
Xiang Wen, who was commanding the infantry charge from behind, could see it clearly and thought to himself: Here is the opportunity! He raised the spiritual sword in his hand, pointed forward, and shouted: "The wind camp has been broken, our soldiers, follow the general to rush into the enemy camp! Kill -".
