Following Wu Kuang's loud shout, all the agricultural machinery disciples who had been suppressed by the armor-piercing soldiers poured into the ordnance camp.
Although there are about 500 enemies inside, they are definitely much less than outside.
Of course, life or death doesn't actually matter, because they are originally a death squad - once they enter Wangli's camp, it will be difficult to leave alive.
It's just that you must complete the mission before you die, otherwise your sacrifice will be in vain.
As the peasant disciples rushed into the ordnance camp, Han Xin's surprise attack strategy was truly successful.
Although the armor-piercing soldiers have an absolute numerical advantage, it is much easier to destroy than to protect.
Hundreds of peasant disciples risked their lives to completely destroy the ordnance camp no matter what.
………………
In the west of Daze Mountain, above Shuangjiang Ridge, Wang Li had already led his crossbow infantry to withdraw.
There was a problem in the camp, and Wang Li had to come back for help, even if the chance of rescuing the camp was slim.
First of all, it's because the camp is too important. Without it, Wang Li wouldn't have anything to fight next.
Secondly, there is no point in him staying in Frostfall Ridge.
If the camp is lost, someone must go back to support it, and this will lead to a balance of power between the two sides in Daze Mountain.
What the peasant family holds are the two armies of wind and fire, and the two armies of mountain and forest, which have already suffered considerable damage, making a total of four armies that are not complete.
On the empire's side, after excluding Wang Li's headquarters who need to return reinforcements, what remains are the three armies of jackals, wolves, and tigers, as well as the disabled Fury Leopard Army, which is also an incomplete fourth army - of course, the return reinforcements can be
If the troops are replaced with any one of the three troops of jackals, wolves and tigers, the results will be similar.
The two sides can barely draw an equal sign.
If the stalemate continues, the result will be that all troops from both sides will gather at Frostfall Ridge and then turn on the meat grinder mode.
Even if Wang Li did not return to the reinforcement camp and directly destroyed the rear, it would not change the result too much. It would just make the meat on the farm side grind faster.
He cannot form an overwhelming advantage, and in the end both sides will trade lives for lives.
But how can the life of a peasant farmer be compared with that of a soldier of the Imperial Ace Army?
Even if it was a one-for-three battle, Wangli would still suffer a loss, and he probably wouldn't be able to achieve this battle loss ratio.
Under this situation, continuing to block Shuangjian Ridge would be a pure loss-making deal for Wang Li. It would be better to go back and rescue the camp as soon as possible, maybe there is still hope.
After all, he set up a separate camp for the most important ordnance camp, and its defense level was even higher than that of the main camp.
Therefore, Wang Li decisively led his troops to run away. At the same time, he also told General Xue Hu Yin Jack to kill as many farm disciples as possible, and then decisively withdraw his troops when the opponent's reinforcements arrived to avoid falling into the opponent's counter-siege.
No matter how angry, unwilling or dissatisfied he was, the battle was completely broken by him.
There is only one priority now - try to stop losses.
As for whether we can launch a counterattack in the future, we have to wait until the battle is completely settled tonight.
If possible, Wang Li will definitely win this round, otherwise the Wang family will be completely disgraced by him!
But if nothing can be done, he can only give up.
Otherwise, if something unexpected happens and he is completely crippled by a Jianghu sect, the armor-piercing soldier who has fought hundreds of battles, Ying Zheng will lose his head even if he wants to.
The next development was almost as Wang Li expected. It didn't take long before Long Qie and Zhong Limei led their troops to Shuangjiang Ridge, intending to cooperate with the mountain and forest armies besieged inside to counter the siege.
Unfortunately, the Blood Tiger Yin Jackal listened to Wang Li's words and led his troops to retreat immediately, without giving Long Qie and others much chance.
However, this failure did not affect the overall situation - the surprise attack plan worked, and the two Shanlin troops used as bait were successfully rescued. The farmer's family did not suffer substantial damage, but achieved decisive results.
………………
In the middle of Daze Mountain, Han Xin's headquarters.
Under the attention of everyone, Han Xin unhurriedly moved the flag representing Wang Li's headquarters away from Shuangjiang Ridge and towards the road leading to the Equinox Stream - this was the shortest way for Wang Li to return to his camp.
Then the flags representing Long Qie and Zhong Limei’s Wind and Fire Legion were moved to the location of Frostfall Ridge:
"Xia Kui, please look, a counter-siege is about to be formed."
"As long as the two generals Long Qie and Zhong Limei arrive, the crisis between the Shanlin and Shanlin armies will be lifted, and there will be a chance to launch a counterattack."
"Very good!" Tian Yan looked at Han Xin and nodded with a satisfied smile.
Just at this time, a messenger rushed to Huihui to report:
"I'm reporting to you, the Blood Tiger Legion and the Yin Jackal Legion have withdrawn, and the four generals Feng Linhuoshan are leading their troops to pursue them."
Hearing that the siege of Frostfall Ridge had finally settled, everyone's faces showed joy.
The Blood Tigers and Yin Jackals took the initiative to withdraw their troops, rather than fleeing in defeat. Therefore, even if the four armies of Fenglinhuoshan had an absolute advantage, it would be difficult to achieve any results by pursuing them.
But at least I can vent my anger.
………………
At the same time, Wang Li was in the camp.
When the peasant disciples rushed into the ordnance camp and wreaked havoc, Wu Kuang quietly slipped away with Bai Tu.
Together with Gao Jianli, he took Bai Tu to the place where he said Hua Ying was imprisoned.
The location of the cell was very remote, located in a cave that happened to be surrounded by Wang Li's camp.
Wang Li built additional camp walls here, arranged sentries, sent a group of guards, and transformed it into a cell for prisoners.
Of course, there are usually no prisoners in the military camp, and those who commit crimes are directly chopped to death for the sacrificial flag, so there is only one prisoner in custody, Huaying.
This place is very remote. If Bai Tu hadn't personally guided the way, Wu Kuang and the others would probably have to search the entire military camp to find it... The chaos in the camp didn't even reach here.
Since they were not sure whether Huaying was here, they did not act rashly, and Wu Kuang went out to interview him alone.
"Stop!" Seeing a soldier suddenly appear, the sentry guard stretched out his hand to stop Wu Kuang, "What are you doing? You are not allowed to get close here!"
"I have been ordered by the general to interrogate a prisoner."
"The interrogation prisoner? That woman?" The guard immediately thought of Hua Ying, because there was indeed no other prisoner.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wu Kuang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. It seems that Hua Ying is really here.
The guard still wanted to speak, but a bit of coldness crept up his throat quietly, and then the ice spread, quickly making him follow in the footsteps of the guard commander of the ordnance battalion - by the way, that guy's mouth was sealed.
He delayed issuing the order, but instead issued a relatively clear order using different tones of the word 'um'.
Gao Jianli's figure then appeared behind the guard, and Shuihan Sword sealed his throat, causing him to die in silence.
Looking at the body lying on the ground, Wu Kuang opened his mouth, "You... are quite efficient."
"We don't have much time."
"It's best not to complicate things that can be handled simply." Gao Jianli responded calmly.
After they rescued people, they had to rush to join Big Hammer and the others, and then retreat. Time was really tight, so there was nothing wrong with choosing some simple and crude handling methods.
Wu Kuang shrugged upon hearing this and did not hesitate. He and Gao Jianli looked at the door guarded by the guards.
This is a door that can only be opened from the other side. Since the two of them have chosen the simplest solution, they cannot deceive the person on the other side to open the door.
so……
With a bang, the frozen door shattered into pieces.
The huge movement alerted the guards inside, and dozens of soldiers rushed out and rushed towards Gao Jianli and Wu Kuang who had just walked through the door.
After the two looked at each other, they took the initiative to greet him very simply.
The fundamental reason why Wu Kuang did not object to the simple plan was that the guard strength here was not worth mentioning to the two of them.
The two of them don't even have to worry about the other party taking Huaying as a hostage - with the strength of ordinary soldiers, a hostage can't be faster than their swords!
The two of them cleared out the guards like chopping melons and vegetables, and quickly rushed to the deepest part of the cave, where Huaying was imprisoned.
The guards in the cell have been following Wang Li's orders, using torture to torture Hua Ying and extracting confessions.
She was tied to a wooden stake, with bloodstains and scars all over her body. Her head was lowered, her eyes were closed, and she looked lifeless.
When Wu Kuang and Gao Jianli saw this scene, their hearts trembled.
In their perception, the person in front of them had clearly lost all signs of life.
Gao Jianli stepped forward and stretched out his hand to touch Hua Ying's nose, his face became more serious.
Seeing his expression, Wu Kuang knew that there was no chance, but he still asked without giving up, "How is it?"
Gao Jianli said nothing, just shook his head.
Wu Kuang's face became uglier than ever before, and he stared at the motionless Hua Ying, not knowing what to say or what to do.
"Anyway... take the people away first." Gao Jianli broke the dead silence and said in a low voice, "Maybe... there is still a glimmer of hope."
As people who have been through life and death many times, both Gao Jianli and Wu Kuang know that not breathing does not mean that a person is completely dead.
Maybe her heart is still beating.
After Zhong Limei was injured before, he looked almost dead, but he was successfully rescued in the end.
But looking at Wu Kuang's expression, one can tell that he has no hope for this.
Zhong Limei has martial arts skills and his physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, so he can survive to the extreme, while Hua Ying... can only be said to be no different from ordinary women.
But time waits for no one, and their silence here is meaningless.
Wu Kuang listened to Gao Jianli's suggestion, carefully untied Hua Ying from the wooden stake, carried her on his back, and quickly left the cell.
Next, they should join up with Big Iron Hammer and others to escape from Wang Li's camp.
I don’t know how many of the farm brothers could follow them and escape from the camp alive.
………………
Daze Mountain, Vernal Equinox Stream.
Wang Li led his army galloping all the way, and finally arrived at the Equinox Stream on the east side of Daze Mountain, not far from his camp.
However, at this time, the situation in the Armor-Piercing Soldiers Camp had deteriorated to the extreme.
Looking at the fire that was getting bigger and bigger and lighting up the entire sky, Zhao Bu couldn't help but said:
"General, the situation in the camp seems to be deteriorating rapidly."
Needless to say, Wang Li could certainly see this and cursed bitterly, "Bai Tu is a loser, and he can cause such a big mess even if he is allowed to guard the camp!"
Wang Li has really broken through the defense now.
Considering that Bai Tu was a piece of trash, he arranged the most foolproof task of guarding the camp for him.
As a result, this trash turned his camp into a sea of flames.
For the first time, Wang Li truly and sincerely felt that he was wrong.
He should have strangled this bastard to death the first time he saw him!
Zhao Bu did not forget to analyze calmly at this time, "Our camp has strict military discipline and order. It must have been infiltrated by enemy spies and set fire to cause trouble from within."
When Wang Li heard this, he became even more angry. He was so angry that he could only twitch the reins and squeeze the horse under his crotch as hard as he could.
You don’t need to think about it to know that the spies were able to sneak in and take out this good-for-nothing Bai Tu!
As Wang Li's army entered the Equinox Stream, they found that the fog was getting thicker.
In the thick fog, a short figure appeared in front of the army against the faint green light.
Suddenly encountering an accident, Wang Li immediately ordered the entire army to stop.
After Zhao Bu saw the figure clearly, he reported to Wang Lihui in a low voice, "General, this is the Zhu family, the head of Shennong Hall."
Wang Li also recognized the Zhu family, the little fat man's physical features were too obvious.
He didn't know where he got a pale green lantern. The light and shadow effect at night was very scary.
Facing the mighty Wang Li's army, the Zhu family was not afraid at all and said with a smile, "Welcome everyone, I have been waiting here for a long time."
Wang Li was not very panicked when he heard this.
Although it is very dangerous for the enemy to predict one's actions, to Wang Li now, this can only be regarded as a trivial matter.
If something happened to the camp, he would definitely have to go back to save it, and the fastest way for him to go back would be to go diagonally across the entire Daze Mountain, and he would definitely pass through the Equinox Stream.
Judging from the series of operations of the farmer, it is obvious that there are experts among their senior management, and it would be a fool not to predict this.
Anyway, he sent scouts to conduct reconnaissance along the way to ensure there was no ambush.
"What do you want to do when you block the road alone?" Wang Li asked impatiently.
"Hehehe...it's nothing. It's dark and the road is slippery. I'll give you a light." Zhu Jia replied with a smile.
Wang Li narrowed his eyes and became wary.
Logically speaking, as long as there is no ambush, no matter what the Zhu family does, it will not threaten his army of several thousand people.
However, he has encountered too many 'surprises' recently, and he feels that he should be careful.
Then he ordered without hesitation, "Fire the arrow!"
No matter what the Zhu family wants to do, let's try it first by washing the ground with waves of arrows.
Upon hearing the sound, the crossbowmen from behind immediately launched an attack. Dozens of arrows passed through the wind and pierced directly into the unsuspecting Zhu family.
Just hearing a shrill scream, the Zhu family was shot away by the crossbow arrows like a broken doll. It was stabbed like a hedgehog. It fell to the ground and rolled around a few times before completely erecting its corpse.
The lantern in his hand also fell to the ground and soon burst into flames.
Zhao Bu then raised his hand and ordered, "Defend the formation, be careful of sneak attacks. Two people go up and check."
Before the soldiers could take action, Zhu's voice sounded again, coming from all directions, misty and hollow, like a ghost.
"You are all so rude and have let down my good intentions!"
As the sound died down, a lantern emitting green light appeared out of thin air again in front of everyone.
Then under their gaze, one lamp turned into two lamps, two lamps became four lamps, eight lamps, sixteen lamps...
Soon, hundreds of pale green lanterns filled the sky in front of the armor-piercing soldiers, looking up like a giant green screen.
Even with the military discipline of an armor-piercing soldier who has experienced hundreds of battles, his liver trembled a little when he saw this horrifying scene, and many soldiers had already fallen into fear.
What frightened them even more was that a figure of the Zhu family appeared behind every lantern.
They were holding lanterns and just floating in the air, looking like ghosts against the green light.
