There were not many people on Dragon-rocky Mountain. If they were surrounded, they would be in a desperate situation. Therefore, if they took the initiative to attack, they might be able to win. If not, they would definitely lose.
Lin Muyu could not be said to be well-versed in the art of war, but at least she understood such a simple principle. The Flame Wolf Mercenaries' camp was about a three-hour infantry journey from Dragon-rocky Mountain. Based on her understanding, the Flame Wolf Mercenaries' camp was not very rich. They did not have more than 300 warhorses. Therefore, it was impossible for them to attack purely on cavalry. They could only advance with cavalry and infantry.
…
Luo Yu pointed at the map and said, "They have a lot of people, so they will definitely take the official road. So here … Broken Claw Gorge is a place they must pass through. Broken Claw Gorge is a dangerous place, so it's a very good place for an ambush."
Lin Muyu held a cup of fragrant tea to warm herself and said with a smile, "Then choose Broken Claw Gorge for an ambush. Bring more flags and bows. Try to defeat these 1500 people with the least amount of casualties."
"Okay!"
Not long after, Dragon-rocky Mountain was brightly lit. Lin Muyu was a rich man in Lanyan City, so the Longdan Army Camp did not lack money. All of them were cavalry, and each of them carried bows, spears, and swords. They could attack from afar, on horseback, or on the ground. This was also the greatest characteristic of the Longdan Army Camp. Their individual combat abilities were very strong. Moreover, there were two Heaven State Warriors, Lin Muyu and Luo Yu, leading them. This made them even more unstoppable.
Only 70 people were left to guard the mountain. The other 200 people got on their horses and went down the mountain under Luo Yu's orders.
The cold wind blew on her skin, and it hurt like knives. Lin Muyu lifted the cloak of the Temple Battle Robe to cover her face. She allowed the warhorse to move forward with the team, but she had a different feeling in her heart. The people around her obeyed her orders, and this was the army she truly controlled. This was the first time she personally led an attack, and she could only win!
In less than two hours, they arrived at Broken Claw Gorge. As the city's name suggested, Broken Claw Gorge was like a sharp claw protruding from the ground. The cliffs were very rugged and steep. Luo Yu and the others stopped and surrounded Lin Muyu, waiting for specific orders. After Lin Muyu carefully examined the surrounding terrain, she simply said, "Luo Yu, lead 100 people and split into two groups to go up the mountain. Prepare stones, bows, and flags on the cliffs. When all of their troops enter Broken Claw Gorge, start using bows, arrows, and rolling stones. Also, don't forget to wave the flags and cheer them on. Don't let them know how many people we have. The other 100 people, follow me and hide in the forest at the side. Once they lose their formation, we'll kill them."
"Yes, Commander!" Everyone's eyes lit up. 200 people against 1500 people. What kind of challenge was that?
However, Lin Muyu was brimming with confidence. Her 200 men were well-trained and well-equipped, while the other party's 1500 men were a group of wandering mercenaries. To put it bluntly, they were a motley crew!
…
Everyone hid in the ambush. The cold wind whistled in the air like the angry wailing of ghosts, covering all movements. The snorts of the warhorses had even disappeared with the wind.
After waiting for a long time, suddenly, a white flag fluttered left and right on the cliff. Lin Muyu immediately gripped the Dragon Spirit Sword tightly and shouted in a low voice, "Everyone, get on your horses. They're here. Listen to my command and prepare to attack!"
"Yes!"
The 100 Longdan Army Camp mercenaries behind her got on their horses. Their faces were full of fighting spirit. Most of them were Human Realm and Earth Realm cultivators, so they were already very strong. Now that they were facing a group of wandering mercenaries, they were even more confident and eager to fight.
Finally, the sound of horses galloping could be heard in the wind. In the distance, on the official road below the Broken Claw Gorge, a group of people appeared. This group of mercenaries were actually holding torches and lanterns as they moved forward. Lin Muyu couldn't help but snicker. These idiots, aren't they purposely exposing their position? They really are a motley crew …
"Who's their leader?" Lin Muyu asked.
Behind her, a mercenary said, "It's Luo Jian, who's at the First Firmament of Earth Realm. He's the vice-captain of the Flame Wolves Mercenaries. Every time they go out, he's the vanguard."
"Alright, capture Luo Jian alive."
"Yes!"
In the cold wind, the Flame Wolves Mercenaries slowly entered the vicinity of Broken Claw Gorge. Just when the last group of them entered Broken Claw Gorge, war drums suddenly sounded. Arrows fell from the cliffs on both sides like rain, and huge rocks fell from the sky. It was like a disaster. At the same time, at least dozens of Longdan Army Camp's war flags were waving on Broken Claw Gorge, and their shouts soared into the sky.
"Damn …" Lin Muyu grinned. Luo Yu was actually able to make such a big movement, which was very surprising to him.
Many people from the Flame Wolves Mercenaries quickly died, and their faces were full of anger. In the crowd, vice-captain Luo Jian held his sword, urged his horse, and shouted, "The way back has been cut off. Those despicable people from Longdan Army Camp … Brothers, follow me and charge forward. Ignore their ambush, let's go straight to the root of the problem and destroy their nest!"
More than a thousand mercenaries rushed forward at the same time, but each and every one of them looked like they had thrown away their helmets and armor.
"Dang!"
Lin Muyu pulled out the Dragon Spirit Sword and shouted, "Kill!"
She took the lead and opened the wall of the gourd to protect herself and her horse. The other side immediately sent out a large group of soldiers with spears at least three meters long to intercept them. This group of wandering mercenaries had some ability, at least they knew how to deal with cavalry. However, Lin Muyu was not an ordinary cavalry.
"Neigh …"
The warhorse neighed and leaped into the air. Lin Muyu brandished his longsword and the Dragon Spirit Sword sliced through iron like it was mud. "Ka ka ka" sounds could be heard as more than a dozen spears were broken. In the next moment, he had already charged into the crowd. He raised his longsword and slashed down from above, directly chopping off the arm of a wandering mercenary!
Awesome!
Lin Muyu secretly admired the sharpness of this Saint rank sword. When he held the Burning Prairie Sword, he had never felt so comfortable. He spurred his horse forward, and in a flash, he had killed more than a dozen people. Behind him, the mercenaries from Longdan Army Camp also rushed forward, and the light of their Martial Spirits was constantly flashing, and the situation quickly became a crushing one.
"Bastard!"
Not far away, Luo Jian held a spear in his hand, and the power of his Martial Spirit appeared on his shoulder. He spurred his horse forward, and before he got close, he shook his spear, and the spearhead was like a poisonous snake trying to swallow Lin Muyu's neck. This kid's spear skills looked very ruthless.
But Lin Muyu's reaction speed was faster, and he gently moved his head to avoid the attack, and the spear stabbed into the wall of the gourd. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he gently waved his Dragon Spirit Sword, and with a "Kacha" sound, Luo Jian's spear was directly cut in half.
"How can this be?!"
Luo Jian retreated, but there was no way out. Lin Muyu rushed forward and fiercely punched him, and with a "Bang" sound, Luo Jian slightly swayed on his horse, and was immediately grabbed by Lin Muyu and placed on the back of the horse. She shouted, "Luo Jian has been caught by me, do you still want to continue to struggle?"
Her Martial Spirit shone brightly, and an intense Dou Qi appeared around Lin Muyu's body, shooting up into the sky.
Immediately, the group of mercenaries were dumbstruck, no one had thought that this would be the result, and even more so, that their vice-captain would be captured in just one round.
Luo Yu had already rushed down from the cliff with the Burning Prairie Sword in hand, and loudly shouted, "Those who put down their weapons will be spared from death!"
… …
"Dang … Dang …"
Spears and swords fell to the ground, sure enough, they were just a motley crew. The Longdan Army Camp had only suffered a very small loss, but they had managed to capture almost all of the 1200 + people.
Lin Muyu put Luo Jian down from his horse, and Luo Jian's face was full of shame, and he said, "My skills are not as good as yours, if you want to kill me, then kill me!"
"Who wants to kill you …"
Lin Muyu glanced at him, and said, "Luo Jian, are you willing to surrender and join the Longdan Army Camp?"
"Don't humiliate me, if you want to kill me, then kill me!" Luo Jian's eyes burned.
Lin Muyu couldn't help but laugh, and said word by word, "Are you trying to express your moral integrity to me? Tell me, your Flame Wolf Mercenary Group burned, killed, and plundered, provoking the wrath of the heavens and the resentment of the people. You indiscriminately killed the innocent, and used your strength to bully the weak. What qualifications do you scum have to talk about moral integrity with me? Right now, I'll give you a chance to turn over a new leaf, and become a mercenary that doesn't let down your conscience. Are you willing to join the Longdan Army Camp? "
"I … I …"
Luo Jian's eyes flashed, every word from Lin Muyu stabbed at his sore spot. No matter how strong he was, he was still a despicable wandering mercenary, a person who killed the innocent, and a beast, how could he talk about moral integrity?
"Your Longdan Army Camp might not be full of good people, right? In this world, good people don't live long … "Luo Jian suddenly said with a sneer.
Lin Muyu also smiled, and pointed behind her, and said, "The Longdan Army Camp will never bully the weak, nor will we indiscriminately kill the innocent for money. If there is, we will kill without mercy. Whether you believe it or not, the Longdan Army Camp will definitely do it."
Luo Jian sighed, and finally made a decision, "Fine, I'll use my cheap life to see if you, Lin Muyu, can really do what you say and be a mercenary that doesn't let down his conscience."
"En, you will get what you want."
Lin Muyu was naturally very confident. Why would wandering mercenaries burn, kill, and loot? It was because they were poor, but the Longdan Army Camp would not be poor. They had an endless income from the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, enough to support a small elite army.
…
The remaining nearly 1300 wandering mercenaries were all brought back to the Dragon-rocky Mountain, and nearly 742 of them were selected to join the Longdan Army Camp. The rest were sent away after collecting their weapons and armors. At least, they could not be used by Fengxi again.
In the afternoon, a group of mercenaries from the Longdan Army Camp drank to their heart's content at the celebration banquet.
Only Luo Jian sat sullenly at the side. Lin Muyu walked up to him and asked with a smile, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking …"
Luo Jian wanted to say something but stopped. His eyes swept over Lin Muyu and smiled, "Do you think that Commander Fengxi will let this go? Lin Muyu, your celebration banquet is too early. You have to know that the real elites of the Flame Dragon Mercenary Group are the remaining 1500 people … "
"I know."
Lin Muyu smiled slightly, "But it's okay, sooner or later they will be my people! Luo Yu, you will be responsible for the normal training of the Longdan Army Camp. I will go out for a few days. "
"Yes!" Luo Yu cupped her fists.
Luo Jian's eyes were a little dull, and he was silent.
