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 elsewhere with great enthusiasm.
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 weakly. Just now, life and death were hanging on a thin line. To say that she was not nervous or afraid would definitely be a lie. No matter what
She pretended to be calm on the surface, but in fact, cold sweat had already soaked through 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 going weak, and she thought
I couldn't even stand up.
Even Tang Yin breathed a long sigh of relief. 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. It should be no problem.
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 afraid of 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. Besides, 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 outside the city? Who can lead them out of the siege? How can they continue the next battle?
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, shook his head and said 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?"
Tian Ying Xiling?"
When he looked up, he saw that the person who stood up and scolded him was not someone else, but Xiang Wen, the fierce general. Ma Qian shrank his neck in fright, not even daring to breathe, and stepped back with small steps.
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 war gods of Mo country.
Ma Qian dared to provoke others, but he never dared to annoy Xiang Wen. He whispered solemnly: "Xiang... General Xiang, it's not that the lower-level officials are greedy and afraid of death, and they are poisoning the morale of the army, but... it's because our army really doesn't have any
Just hold on to the hope.”
"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 is Ma Qian's bodyguard, you can guess it without asking. The assassin must have nothing to do with him. 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 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 at odds with the enemy!"
Xu Lengzhi was killed. Xiang Wen, the highest-ranking and most reputable person in Mo's army, now that he has stood up to speak, the generals dare not say more than a word of "no".
Seeing all the generals sitting upright and bowing their heads in obedience to orders, Xiang Wen nodded with satisfaction and said loudly: "I have decided that our army will make another breakthrough tomorrow night. 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 had no confidence at all.
The last time our troops were at full strength and under the personal command of the commander-in-chief, the breakthrough failed. Now that the troops have been reduced a lot and the commander-in-chief was killed by an assassin, can the breakthrough 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 him."
Capture the wind thief's arrogant mentality, catch him by surprise and attack him unprepared, and you will surely succeed with one blow!"
I hope so! Listening to Xiang Wen's explanation, all the generals are still low in morale and lacking in fighting spirit. We all serve as ministers in the same palace and as generals in the same account. Who doesn't understand whom?
It is definitely more than enough to let Xiang Wen charge into the battle. Let him lead the troops to fight. Even if ten Xiang Wen are tied together, they are not as good as one Xu Lengzhi. But now that Xiang Wen has the highest military rank, people can only obey his command and dispatch.
.
By the time dawn came 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 those people on Ma Wu be the assassins of General Xu Lengzhi? This was unbelievable. How could they be so capable?
The landlady had to look at Tang Yin and others with admiration, and was very curious about their identities. Of course, she was smart enough not to say anything. Now she can understand what Tang Yin said to her. The more you know about some things, it is not a good thing.
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 straws in their mouths and horses holding coins, and all of them were wearing Xiang Feng Yu.
The coalition's camp quickly rushed over.
Xiang Wen's formation was quite 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 of no use. 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 task was not to kill the enemy, but to directly rush into the camp gate and the village wall of Fengying. It would be best if they could break through it, but even if they couldn't break through, they still wouldn't be able to break through.
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 bells on the war horses were taken off, and the horses' 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 has already arrived.
The dead soldiers of the Mo army obeyed Xiang Wen's orders, and 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.
The speed of Moma's galloping was already fast enough, and it collided with 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, and the wall of Fengying was shaken repeatedly. 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 the several wooden piles holding up the camp gate.
It was shattered by the shock, and the gate shook violently and crumbled.
Xiang Wen, who was commanding the infantry charge from behind, could see it clearly and secretly thought: 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 me and charge to kill."
