In the blink of an eye, a day had passed. The people of the House of Chivalry had only managed to shoot a few arrows down the mountain. They could not even hit the feet of the Longdan Army Camp mercenaries before they fell to the ground powerlessly. However, this kind of provocation came again and again, as if they were very tired.
At dusk, there was a sudden commotion on the mountain. The mountain gate opened wide, and about a hundred or so rangers roared as they charged down the mountain on their warhorses.
… …
"Release the arrows!"
Under Luo Yu's order, the Longdan Army Camp and Tian Chong Army that were lying in ambush in the forest all fired their arrows. In an instant, the hundred or so people who came down from the mountain screamed and fell to the ground. Only a few managed to escape.
Wei Chou led a horse over and pointed at the wooden bucket on the horse's butt, saying, "As Milord expected, the water on the mountain has already dried up. This group of people wants to kill their way out and snatch the water."
Lin Muyu nodded, "Yes, keep the archers on guard and dig a trap behind the first line of defense. Wait for their next wave of attack!"
Qi Ying was stunned, "General, how can you be so sure that they will come down the mountain a second time to snatch the water?"
Lin Muyu smiled confidently, "It's very simple. These hundred or so people are just to test how many people we have surrounding the Fire Axe Mountain. In the next wave of attack, they will use at least two thousand people. Therefore, our first line of archers will not be able to defend at all. They will dig a trap to ensure that our losses are minimized."
"So that's how it is." Qi Ying raised her eyebrows and smiled, "General is really meticulous … …"
At this time, a white bird suddenly flew over their heads, the sound of its wings flapping faintly. Lin Muyu suddenly raised her head, her heart moved, and she said, "Wei Chou, shoot it down."
"Yes!"
Wei Qiu raised his hand and nocked an arrow. With a "sou" sound, the Demon Devouring Bow shot an arrow into the sky and killed the bird in the blink of an eye. A soldier of the Tian Chong Army picked up the bird's corpse and handed it over: "General."
Lin Muyu took the bird corpse and looked at its feet. Sure enough, there was a small letter tube. She took out a piece of paper and saw a few simple words written on it: "Reinforcements will arrive in two days."
Wei Chou frowned. "Sir, will the House of Chivalry send reinforcements? Could it be the people from their branch altar? "
"I don't know."
Lin Muyu felt a burst of anger and said, "Wei Chou, this messenger bird is coming from the direction of Five Valleys City. Arrange for the sharpshooters in the camp to watch this direction day and night. Shoot down any messenger bird that flies by."
Wei Chou smiled and nodded. "Understood!"
…
In the blink of an eye, it was night. The sky was filled with dark clouds and the moon and stars were dim. Even Qi Ying could feel the biting cold murderous intent. "This night will not be easy …"
Lin Muyu warmed himself by the bonfire and smiled. "Let everyone be more spirited."
"Yes!"
In the early hours of the morning, a loud noise came from the mountain. The sound of horse hooves was loud. The House of Chivalry was attacking again!
The moment the mountain gate opened, countless rangers with wooden shields and longswords rushed in. Their faces were full of anger as they shouted, "Kill! Kill these dogs of the Empire!"
There were about 1500 rangers on foot, and behind them were about 500 cavalrymen. It seemed like they wanted to use the wooden shields to wear down the arrows, and then the cavalrymen would charge.
Lin Muyu stood under a towering tree, a thin layer of frost on his shoulders. He sneered. "In your dreams …"
Qi Ying mounted his horse and smiled. "General, it's our turn to charge now, right?"
"Yes, we will fight when they break through the second blockade."
"Yes!"
…
The torches on the Fire Axe Mountain were connected, and a large number of rangers charged out. Their battle cries shook the heavens, and their momentum was terrifying.
"Fire!"
Wei Chou shouted again. The longbow in his hand quickly shot out an arrow made of light. With a "whoosh", it pierced through the bodies of three rangers. In the entire army, perhaps only Wei Chou had such arm strength and accuracy.
"Squeak squeak …"
The bow in Lin Muyu's hand let out a cry of pain. Suddenly, an arrow was shot out. The arrowhead was imbued with pure dou qi, and it directly pierced through a ranger's wooden shield. The explosive power of the arrow was shocking.
"General is brave!"
The group of Tian Chong soldiers were also very encouraged. Arrows rained down, and in the blink of an eye, the people from the House of Chivalry were killed. However, most of the arrows landed on the wooden shields and did not cause any damage. In the blink of an eye, the people from the House of Chivalry were within 20 meters of them.
"Retreat!"
Lin Muyu ordered. At the same time, she raised her hand and threw out four Little Magic Sonar Blades. They flew in four different directions and became invisible. After piercing through the bodies of several rangers, Lin Muyu slowly retracted her strength. Suddenly, the Little Magic Sonar Blades rotated rapidly in the air to form a Magic Sonar Blade. With a "shua shua" sound, it killed another dozen people in the crowd before flying back.
Under the light of the torches, a ranger surrounded by pure zhen qi shouted, "Kill! Kill these dogs of the Empire!"
The sound of hooves could be heard. The cavalry of the House of Chivalry had also arrived. They brandished their spears and charged forward. However, when they reached the second blockade, they successively charged into the trap. Screams of pain rang out as hundreds of people and horses fell into the trap that had been dug beforehand. The Tian Chong soldiers and Longdan Army Camp soldiers naturally rushed forward and stabbed with their spears. Blood splattered everywhere. They had truly killed everyone!
…
"Swoosh!"
Lin Muyu took out the Pear Blossom Spear from her Qiankun Pouch. With a shake of the spear shaft, the spearhead instantly produced a pear blossom that was enshrouded in icy mist in the night sky. Lin Muyu shouted in a low voice, "Kill!"
The sound of hooves could be heard. They had avoided the trap area. Under his leadership, more than a thousand cavalrymen from Longdan Army Camp charged forward. Before they even got close, they had already launched a round of spear piercing attacks. The destructive power of the spear was far greater than that of the arrows. The enemies were immediately scared out of their wits. When it came to close combat, the enemies were already scared out of their wits and became the targets of the cavalrymen.
The air was filled with the thick smell of blood. This battle lasted for more than an hour before it ended. The final result was that the House of Chivalry had lost another Game Envoy. Only about 200 of the defeated soldiers managed to escape up the mountain. The mountain path was littered with corpses. It was a tragic sight.
Wei Chou's face was filled with excitement. He smiled and said, "This time, we will teach these traitors a lesson!"
Qi Ying wiped the blood off her spear and said proudly, "I'm afraid they won't dare to go down the mountain to fetch water anymore."
"How many men did we lose?"
Lin Muyu asked as he rode past with his Pear Blossom Spear in hand.
Luo Yu cupped his fists and said, "The Longdan Army Camp lost close to 20 men, and the Tian Chong Army lost close to 100 men. It's all thanks to Sir's divine foresight. Otherwise, we would have lost even more men."
"Mm, got it …"
Lin Muyu frowned. Actually, he had planned to have zero casualties. Unfortunately, there were too many factors that could have led to the development of the situation.
"Alright, let's all rest. They won't make any moves tonight."
"Yes, General!"
…
That night, Lin Muyu slept very soundly. Lying in the tent, Lin Muyu allowed the Forging Dragon Bone Remnant's Dou Qi to circulate around his body. His Spirit Pulse Art also extended on its own, as if it had a spirit of its own, permeating into everything in the world. At this moment, heaven, earth, and man formed a kind of harmony, giving him a feeling of comfort throughout his entire body in his sleep.
"Sir, bad news!"
Wei Chou's voice suddenly came from outside.
Lin Muyu got up, grabbed his sword, and walked out of the tent. "What's wrong?"
Wei Qiu's expression was solemn as he said, "This morning, a group of imperial troops from the Cloud Commandery appeared around the Fire Axe Mountain and surrounded us from the outside. I don't know why?"
"Have you negotiated with them?"
"Not yet."
"Follow me."
"Yes!"
Getting on his horse, he led a group of Royal Guards to the periphery. When Lin Muyu arrived, he could already see a group of people wearing imperial armor guarding the periphery, facing off against the Longdan Army Camp and Tian Chong Army inside.
"What's going on?"
Lin Muyu walked forward and raised his eyebrows. "Who is your person in charge?"
The shield slowly moved away, and a man dressed in an official's attire rode out. He cupped his fists. "I am the governor of the Cloud Commandery, Bai Luo. Greetings, Madam Lin Muyu."
"Bai Luo, why are you surrounding this place with the soldiers of the Cloud Commandery?" Lin Muyu suppressed her anger and asked.
Bai Luo smiled. "Madam, this Fire Axe Mountain is originally under the jurisdiction of the Cloud Commandery. Today, a group of mercenaries from the Dragon-rocky Mountain suddenly appeared. As the local governor, I naturally have to bring my troops here to investigate."
Lin Muyu took out the token. "The token of the Zhen An General is here. Now that you have seen it, withdraw your troops."
"No, Madam."
"No? What do you mean? "
Bai Luo's face was still full of smiles. He bowed and said, "The Cloud Commandery is under the jurisdiction of the Five Valleys City. If there is a battle in my territory, I am afraid that the civilians will be implicated. So … before the troops from the Five Valleys City arrive, I must not withdraw my troops. Otherwise, if the governor blames me, I, a small governor of the Cloud Commandery, cannot bear the consequences."
Lin Muyu was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
Wei Chou said in a low voice, "This old fox. Usually, when mercenaries fight to the death, he does not do anything. Now, he dares to surround us. How dare he!"
Lin Muyu rode her horse forward slowly. Looking at Bai Luo's old face, she smiled. "Governor, the way you surround us makes me suspect that you are in cahoots with the House of Chivalry … If that is the case, once I report this to His Majesty, I am afraid you will not be able to be the governor anymore."
Bai Luo shuddered, "Sir … I'm just following the rules, please don't make things difficult for me … If it's really as you said, please take out the Imperial Emperor's edict, I won't dare to disobey and retreat immediately!"
Lin Muyu was stunned. She could not help but curse in her heart. This old fox must have known that the imperial edict was in Du Hai's hands. That was why he was making things difficult for her.
…
"If you want to surround us, then surround us!"
Lin Muyu abruptly pulled out his longsword and swept it across the ground. His Dou Qi raged and dust flew into the air. Immediately, a deep pit appeared in front of him. He looked coldly at the group of Yun Zhong Commandery soldiers in front of him and coldly ordered, "Anyone who dares to cross this line, kill them on the spot. Don't hold back!"
He looked deeply at Bai Luo and sneered. "I know what you are thinking. Just you wait, I will let you get what you want."
Bai Luo was stunned. Unease appeared on his face.
