The marching speed in the swamp was quite slow, and it didn't take much time for Mao Qi to catch up with the team.
Seeing Mao Qi return, Crocodile Yi and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Everyone, speed up. We are in quite a lot of trouble this time. Ququ Yinfeng, the scout team, must always pay attention to the enemy situation about five kilometers behind; Vice Captain Pang Hai, someone in your special team knows what to use to advance in the swamp.
This method can not only affect the speed but also ensure safety." Returning to the team, Mao Qi barely paused before issuing a series of orders.
Sun Panghai shook his head in embarrassment.
Crocodile Yi had asked the same question when he first entered the swamp. Now that he was asked about it again by Mao Qi, Sun Panghai felt a faint feeling of incompetence in his heart, and his actions showed a lack of confidence.
"Crocodile Yi, have you encountered any dangers since entering the swamp?" Mao Qi asked.
"There are no other circumstances. It's just that a few team members fell into the swamp and died." Crocodile Yi said.
Hearing that another person had died, Mao Qi felt a burst of heartache in his heart.
"Captain, since the enemy is not chasing us, we will rest where we are for a while. When the reinforcements from Taoshan Village arrive, we will fight back and avenge our dead brothers." Although Qu Qiaohu was a little embarrassed, he still had high fighting spirit.
"No, there are too many enemies. And they are not far from us. If they catch up, the Free Vanguard will be in danger. If you want to rest, at least wait until the scout team has news." Mao Qi knew clearly in his heart that any mistakes would be made now.
Decisions may put the Freedom Pioneers in jeopardy. Therefore, every order and decision must be made with great care.
Although his own opinions were not adopted, Qu Qiuhu did not hesitate at all about Mao Qi's decision and carried it out resolutely.
Because Qu Qiuhu knew that without Mao Qi's command, the Freedom Vanguard would have been wiped out in the battle of Shiqiao. Now at a critical moment of life and death, only by enforcing orders and prohibitions can we maintain the hope of survival.
As more and more Na tribe teams infiltrated, their purpose gradually became clear. After spending such a high price, what they were targeting was not logistical supplies, but Maoqi.
At this time, a big man with a beard and eyes like copper bells was reprimanding the people who had just escaped, while the leader who was reprimanded knelt on the ground and shivered.
But when he learned from the escaping leader that the champion of the Momoyama Martial Arts Association was among them, the big man's face actually showed joy. The escaping leader also saved his life.
"I didn't expect Taoshan Village's ace to appear so quickly. God helps me. As long as Mao Qi is surrounded and killed, Taoshan Village won't have anything to worry about. What a bullshit coalition is worthless in the eyes of our Tyrant Ape Tribe. Pass on the order.
, let the king of heaven and the king of earth launch an attack on the southern city defense together, and never give Mao Qi a chance to escape back to Taoshan Village." A smile appeared on the big man's bearded face.
The big man turned around and said to the people standing nearby: "Elders, since Mao Qi has appeared, I have to trouble you to go there. Only by removing this scourge can the Tyrant Ape Clan unify the world."
The few people in front of me were the ones who snatched the Taoshan Token from Taoshan Village that day. Hearing the big man speak, one of the old men said in a hoarse voice: "There is also a piece of Taoshan Token in his hand. Of course I am going to get it back."
The relaxed tone is like searching for something.
At this time, members of the assault team who had been ordered to return to Momoyama to request support were breathlessly reporting on the attack on the Freedom Vanguard.
But before he finished speaking, Sun Lingji stood up anxiously, with an angry look in his eyes that frightened the person who was reporting and quickly shut his mouth.
Seeing the always steady Sun Lingji lose his composure, Sun Chuhao knew that Sun Lingji was panicking, so he did not interrupt.
"Commander Chu Hao, the situation is not good. It seems that the Freedom Vanguard is in big trouble. And nothing can happen to Mao Qi." Sun Lingji took a few steps back and forth, suddenly stopped, and said to Sun Chuhao with a solemn expression.
"Order, the Taoshan Village Guard 1 and 5 teams will assemble immediately." After Sun Lingji said this, Sun Chuhao also felt the seriousness of the situation, and without hesitation, he directly issued the order.
Because he also knows that Mao Qi's importance to the Taoshan Allied Forces is irreplaceable.
"Senior Brother Lingji, you can lead the team!" Sun Chuhao said.
"I'll go too!" Du Duhu was also very anxious and couldn't sit still. Because most of the elites of the Qi Duqu family were among them.
"Then let's add the second team and the sixth team. By the way, we can support the southern city defense. If there are so many Na troops sneaking in, the Fist Alliance must be under a lot of pressure." Sun Chuhao thought for a moment and added.
Mao Qi led the team and marched hard in the swamp. The scout team finally sent the news: "There are still pursuers behind, but the speed is quite slow."
The news from the scout team made Mao Qi even more worried.
Seeing Mao Qi frowning, Crocodile Yi comforted him with a few distressed words, telling him not to worry too much, as the enemy would not be able to catch up for a while.
In fact, Mao Qi knew that the pursuers could not catch up for the time being, but if they kept chasing, they would catch up with the free vanguard sooner or later, because the end of the swamp was an abyss. Thinking of this, Mao Qi sent Qu Qushi and Sun Pang to
Hai, Qu Qiaohu invited me to discuss.
"Do you know what is at the end of this swamp?" Mao Qi asked a question as if he was not in a hurry.
"I've heard that at the end of the swamp is an abyss." As soon as Sun Panghai finished speaking, he and others were shocked.
"Look, Vice Captain Fat Hai is right. According to the map, we are still at most one day away from the abyss." Mao Qi spread out the map and pointed to the end of the swamp.
"In this case, let's fight for them. There are no greedy people in the Qi Duqu family." Qu Qiehu said in a deep voice.
Qu Qushi gritted his teeth and said nothing, with a ruthless expression like a hungry wolf in the forest.
Mao Qi did not make an immediate decision, but stared at the map carefully, as if he was trying to find a way on the map.
After a while, Mao Qi sighed softly and said: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Let's keep going forward. Firstly, we can try our luck, and secondly, we can delay the time; after the coalition command headquarters received the news,
, reinforcements will definitely come, and as long as we can delay the arrival of reinforcements, we can counterattack."
"Captain Panghai, it's time for your specialty team to perform well. As long as you can delay time, you can do whatever you want." Mao Qi said to Sun Panghai.
"Don't worry, captain, our trap will make the squids behind have a good drink." Sun Panghai smiled knowingly and said confidently.
"Your performance is related to the life and death of the Free Vanguard. If there are not enough manpower, you can ask the combat team to help. But after the installation is completed, it is not good for people to wait for the members of the scout team. It is not good to accidentally injure one of your own people." Mao Qi instructed.
With such a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, Sun Panghai suddenly felt that specialty groups were also very important. An idea flashed through his mind, and he remembered a dish, a very delicious dish.
When he opened a restaurant, someone recommended a dish called Yunyaxian, and the main ingredients of this dish grew at the bottom of the swamp cliff.
Since someone can go to the bottom of the cliff to collect, it means that the swamp cliff is not a dead end.
Sun Panghai's delicious dishes undoubtedly gave the freedom pioneers hope of survival. Mao Qi immediately arranged for Qu Qushi to lead an assault team to take the first step and make sure to find a way to the bottom of the cliff.
Outside the southern city defense, with the addition of the Heavenly King and Earth King tribes, the defensive pressure on the entire southern city defense suddenly increased dramatically. Fighting was going on almost all the time. There were piles of corpses outside the city, but the southern city was never breached.
The only thing that worries people is that more and more enemies are infiltrating.
Sun Lingji's reinforcements only brought one day's rations, hurried out of the city, and rushed towards the stone bridge without stopping.
Mao Qi asked all the scout team to return, then lit the torches and continued on their way.
The chasing team of the Na tribe was complaining endlessly. Not only were they worried about falling into a quagmire at any time, but they were also troubled by the traps left by Sun Panghai and others.
Before even seeing the enemy, hundreds of people were lost. As night came, the feeling of panic became even stronger.
Beside the burned stone bridge, four men with sinister faces were standing. They were the four elders of the Tyrant Ape Clan, Demons and Demons. Behind them, stood a dark team that had infiltrated.
"How many people went after him?" Jie Ba's hoarse voice sounded like a bone was stuck in his throat.
"Report, report to your lord, everyone has gone." An injured Na warrior replied tremblingly.
Because the demon tyrant's eyes were like a sharp sword, cutting straight into the soul. It was even colder and colder, making the warrior who answered feel fear deep in his heart.
"How many are there?" Xiao Ba continued to say in a hoarse voice.
"Probably, there are about three thousand." The warrior of the Na tribe said almost with a cry.
"Three thousand is indeed difficult to deal with, but it's not completely impossible to deal with." The sprite on the side said in a voice like a ghost.
As soon as Jieba opened his mouth, the Na warrior next to him was so frightened that he peed his pants.
As soon as Xiba finished speaking, the four of them mysteriously disappeared from the spot.
Seeing the four people disappear, the Na warriors collapsed on the ground.
"Na Zhenfeng, it's okay to defend this place for three hours." Jie Ba glanced at Zhenfang and said with a threatening look.
"Please rest assured, sir, I will ensure that the mission is completed." The defense language was straightforward, but the tone was a bit reluctant. The only confidence was that there would be a steady stream of teams infiltrating from behind.
The devils and demons also knew very well that there was not much time left for them. If the masters of Momoyama really gathered here, it would not be easy to complete the mission.
The Na tribe's pursuing troops were moving slower and slower, but their casualties increased exponentially.
"Lord Nali, my brothers have been chasing us all day. It's dark and dark, and there are traps. Brothers are getting more and more casualties. If this continues, I'm afraid that if we don't catch up, we will all lose."
The fear in his heart became more and more serious, and one deputy couldn't help but start complaining.
The town guard known as Nali also had resentment in his heart, but he did not dare to express it. He glanced at the deputy town guard sideways, hummed a few times, walked forward with a guilty conscience, and faced a tall black figure.
He whispered: "Sir, you can easily get lost when you look at the dark and flat terrain with no reference. If you accidentally get the wrong direction, I'm afraid it will waste more time."
"Then what do you think we should do?" A deep voice said.
"Sir, let's find a drier place and gather the brothers together. Firstly, we can discuss the next plan, and secondly, we can have a little rest." Zhenfang said in a low voice carefully, but he tried his best to let everyone know.
Speak clearly yourself.
"Well, this damn place is really uncomfortable. Let's find a place to take a rest first." The rich voice said with a hint of complaint.
Nali felt happy and was about to make arrangements when suddenly a hoarse voice came from not far away.
