Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 1747: The Seven Monsters take the corpse with their skillful hands, and Ying Xiao has no choice but to abandon Hedong
Wang Li was capable of being violent and ruthless enough, but Wang Yu was not at ease handing over an army of more than 10,000 to him.

Therefore, after letting Zhang He have a full meal, he was sent back immediately.

The next task he gave to Zhang He was to ask him to make a gesture of sending troops towards Chen County and Liu County.

I don’t know if it was Zhang He, Di Qing and Gan Ning whose mission was the same.

Of course, it is just a gesture of sending troops, not a real intention to do so.

Due to lack of military strength, Ying Xiong and Xiao Ruolin were unable to cover everything, so the military strength of Ye County, Lu County and Fan County was seriously under-strength. However, this was no longer the case in Chen County and Liu County, which were directly south of them.

Chen County and Liu County, these two cities are not only more solid, but also much stronger than Ye County, Lu County and Fan County.

Moreover, behind these three counties is the shortest route for them to return to Hexi Road.

At the same time, their boat was also in the Moshui River between the two counties.

Moshui River, where Su Dingfang once defeated the Great Sword Dynasty's troops. However, it is obvious that although it is the same river, it is not in the same location.

Although the Moshui River is a tributary of a big river, it is just an inconspicuous tributary among thousands of tributaries. In addition, most of the tributaries are relatively narrow, and the water in the Moshui River is generally shallow.

Therefore, this river cannot support large ships and can only accommodate small and medium-sized ships.

That's why Ying Xiong was confident enough to leave the boats used to cross the river here. Gan Ning's navy was affiliated with the Yanbei navy. They were both navy, but the attributes of the sea navy were more important than the river navy. After all, the navy base was at the seaside port, and most of them were sailing on the sea.

Therefore, the warships of the Yanbei Navy are mainly large warships, or even super-large warships, with only a small number of small and medium-sized warships and small patrol ships as auxiliary.

It is precisely because of this that Gan Ning’s naval warships are not suitable for sailing on the Mo Shui River.

The ships of the troops on the east and west sides of the river, like those of the Great Sword Dynasty, were small boats similar to fishing boats that were temporarily assembled and were used solely for the purpose of crossing the river.

Therefore, the two cities of Chen County and Liu County are not as easy to capture as the other three cities!

Furthermore, if they really took down these two cities, Yingxiong and Xiao Ruolin would be trapped. This was not in line with Wang Yu's future interests.

........................

"Brother Ruofeng, I am so sad! I am so sad..." After the news of Xiao Ruofeng's death in the battle came back, Xiao Ruolin and Xiao Ruojin were heartbroken.

Especially Xiao Ruojin, who gushed out a mouthful of blood and almost fainted on the spot. This was not like their original world, where the two of them had conflicts because of the throne and the relationship between the two of them who were more powerful than the master. Without these factors, as blood brothers, their relationship was still very friendly.

When the news of the death of Xiao Ruofeng and Lei Mengsha in battle spread, many people in the martial arts world who responded to the order to disarm were filled with indignation.

Xiao Ruofeng was a native of Da Cang. Although Lei Mengsha was from Da Qian, he once studied at the Shangyin Academy in the Da Cang Confucian school.

After graduation, when they followed Xiao Ruofeng to travel around the martial arts world, they also spent quite a long time in the Da Cang martial arts world. These people were all influential figures in the Da Cang martial arts world at that time, and because of their generosity and loyalty, they left behind many good names.

When such a person was killed, those people in the martial arts world who had nothing to do and thought they were full of justice naturally swore to get rid of Wang Yu, the corrupt official who killed loyal and righteous people.

"Brother Ruolin, this is the sword of our brother Ruofeng that was found by hero Zhu Cong!"

Ying Xiong asked someone to open a square box behind him. Inside the box were two swords shining with cold light. One of them was Xiao Ruofeng's sword Haoque, and the other was Li Xinyue's sword Xinjian.

Zhu Cong, one of the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan in Jin Yong's novel, is known as a scholar with wonderful hands. Although his kung fu is not very good, his kung fu is superb and unpredictable. He steals antidotes and items from his enemies as easily as taking something out of a bag.

Mei Chaofeng was already a top-notch martial arts master. When Zhu Cong fought against her, although his martial arts skills were far inferior to hers, he managed to steal the antidote and the Nine Yin Scriptures from her arms with his simple hands.

The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan visited Peach Blossom Island and met Ouyang Feng and his party, all of whom were killed. However, before Zhu Cong died, he was able to steal Yang Kang's "embroidered shoes", which later became the key evidence for Huang Rong to solve the case.

It can be seen that Zhu Cong's stealing skills have indeed reached a level of perfection.

The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, although they are called weirdos, are truly heroes.

If you are bullied on the road, the Five Great Masters may just take a look and leave, but only the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan will definitely help you if they meet you.

It doesn't matter if you are one of the "Five Greatest Wonders in the World", "Iron Palm Floating on Water" or "The Twins of Black Wind", as long as you have done something unfair and they find out, they will definitely intervene!
The bet between the "Seven Freaks of Jiangnan" and Qiu Chuji in Yanyu Tower was more a result of chivalry than a fight. So they went in search of the righteous man, and this trip lasted for eighteen years.

After finding Guo Jing in the desert, they taught Guo Jing earnestly for eighteen years. Don’t they miss their hometown?
Of course I miss him, but righteousness comes first, and I must train Guo Jing to become a talented person.

They not only taught Guo Jing martial arts, but more importantly, taught Guo Jing how to be a good person, taught Guo Jing what chivalry is and what righteousness is, which laid the foundation for Guo Jing to become a great hero in the future.

Many people roam the world, and although they have mastered superb martial arts, they seem to have forgotten what chivalry and righteousness are, and are always thinking about competing for fame and fortune. However, the "Seven Freaks of Jiangnan" stick to their original intention of being chivalrous and righteous. Although they have been defeated by the enemy many times, their original intention has not changed.

The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan were actually staunch fans of Wang Yu at the beginning. When Wang Yu conquered the capital of Dongyi, how many people in Da Cang were excited?

However, these people happen to be very traditional people in the martial arts world, the kind of people who support the orthodoxy of the imperial court.

Therefore, among all the forces in Da Cang, Wang Yu and Prince Jing were criticized, and the Tianshi Dao, Zhenxi Prefecture, and Prince Wei would also be criticized by them. As for the imperial courts in Hedong and Hexi, the youngest son with the most orthodox bloodline was the orthodox of Da Cang in their hearts, and the others were traitors.

The Jie Wu Order itself did not attract them much. The reason they were attracted here was, firstly, because of this, and secondly, because of Wang Yu's practice of slaughtering clans and exterminating factions several times in a row.

Especially the Five Mountains Sword Sect, the Gentleman Sword Yue Buqun, and the Three Dings of the Hengshan Sect, all have a certain reputation in the martial arts world. And Wang Yu's massacre of the sect, especially the cruel act of not wasting food in the Hengshan Sect of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, made them completely turn from fans to haters. Therefore, they participated in this matter and were attracted by the excuse of the martial arts order.

When they were halfway there, they heard that Ye County had been conquered. Two of the eight young masters of the academy who were famous in Da Cang more than a decade ago, Young Master Fenghua Xiao Ruofeng and Young Master Zhuo Mo Lei Mengsha and his wife Li Xinyue were defeated and killed.

Of course, it was fine to die in defeat, as they could not blame anyone else after they went to the battlefield. However, what the Jiangnan Seven Freaks could not tolerate was that after three of them died in battle, even their bodies were hung at the city gate.

The person is already gone, why should we let him not rest in peace even after death?
So, the talented scholar Zhu Cong stole the weapons of the two men, and the remaining few took advantage of the night, robbed the bodies and rode away on horseback.

Speaking of which, hanging the bodies of Xiao Ruofeng and the other three on the city gate was not Zhang He's idea either. At that time, Zhang He had already left Ye County. This matter was still Wang Jiulong's idea.

Wang Jiulong thought about it now and didn’t say that he was wrong.

After all, in the battle of Ye County, they did suffer huge losses because of Xiao Ruofeng's presence. In such cases, under normal circumstances, the generals of the attacking party would indeed do something extraordinary to serve as a warning to the generals of the cities they attacked later, so as to prevent them from following suit.

However, this time, they met the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, a group of stubborn guys.

After seeing Xiao Ruolin and Xiao Ruojin's Haoque sword, they burst into tears.

The past is still vivid in my mind, but it’s a pity that the person is gone!
"Brother Yingxiong, Ye County, Lu County and Fan County have already been lost. As a result, Chen County and Liu County have become our army's only retreat routes. We must not lose them."

After all, Xiao Ruolin had been an official for many years, so he quickly suppressed his grief and began to seriously analyze the current situation.

"Although Chen and Liu counties each have 8,000 troops, if Wang Ni really wants to take action, I'm afraid the isolated city will be difficult to defend." Ying Xiong said helplessly.

There is no other reason. The troops of Di Qing, Gan Ning and Zhang He alone number tens of thousands. If these three people really send out all their troops to attack, then there will be no problem if Chen and Liu counties are only defending for a while. However, if these two counties can be as stable as Mount Tai, then Ying Xiong and Xiao Ruolin dare not make any guarantees.

From ancient times to the present, although there are countless so-called miracles in defensive battles, and the advantage of the defenders has always been recognized. However, when the attacking side has an absolute advantage in military strength, miracles are always only a very small part of the case, and the vast majority of them are always the destruction of the city and the death of people.

"If there is no reinforcement, I'm afraid our army will be defeated! But where can we get reinforcements in the current Da Cang?" Xiao Ruolin sighed deeply.

Of all the forces in Da Cang, except for the Zhennan Army, the rest naturally stood on the opposite political position. They could only be enemies, not helpers. The only Zhennan Army was out of reach.

And they themselves were unable to send reinforcements. Su Dingfang's troops in front of them were always eyeing them covetously. It was difficult for them to protect themselves, let alone take care of Chen and Liu counties.

"Brother Yingxiong, perhaps it's time to make a decision."

"If we continue to be trapped in Hedong, we will probably just be courting our own destruction!" Xiao Ruolin said with great sorrow in his heart.

Just as Wang Yu thought, only when they were pushed to the last step would they consider leaving Hedong Road on their own initiative.

At this time, Xiao Ruolin, who made this suggestion, actually felt extremely heavy in his heart. Although he was the governor of Hexi Road, he was a native of Hedong, and his family was also located in Hedong Road.

After this departure, he will probably be far away from his clan for the rest of his life. It is even a question whether he will have the chance to come back again!
"Brother Ruolin, do you know what you are talking about?"

"The land of Four Rivers is the foundation of our Da Cang! How can we give it up so easily!" Ying Xiong said excitedly.

“General Ying, the Emperor Shenwu once said, if you keep the people and lose the land, you will gain both the people and the land; if you keep the land and lose the people, you will lose both the people and the land!”

"If our army does not withdraw from Hedong, once Chen County and Liu County are gone, our army will die without a burial place!"

"By then, if we don't have this army, how can we save Hexi Road, not to mention half of Hedong Road?"

"General Ying, where will you place His Majesty of Hexi Road at that time?" Xiao Ruolin said sadly in his heart.

It is indeed a great pity to give up the remaining half of Hedong Road just like that.

However, if they cannot make up their mind to do this, how can they preserve these tens of thousands of soldiers?
Without these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, then Your Majesty, who is still in Hexi Road, will lose the greatest guarantee!

From the fate of Huangfu Mingze back then, we can see that political power comes from the barrel of a gun. If an emperor does not have an army, the so-called emperor is just a joke.

Huangfu Mingze back then was an emperor after all. No matter how he got the title, he could at least be said to have barely sat on that position.

However, due to various factors, the little power he had was all lost to Wang Chang of the Zhendong Army. From then on, the seeds of his tragedy were laid.

But now, as a young emperor, if he is not surrounded by powerful enough guards, his fate will be even worse than that of Huangfu Mingze.

"But if there is no Hedong, and only half of Hexi, how can we help Your Majesty to recover the Cang Dynasty? How can we restore peace for the Great Cang?" Ying Xiong said excitedly.

It’s not that he doesn’t understand the truth, but understanding is one thing, and being able to accept it is another.

If only half of Hexi Road is left, then next, they can only rely on the danger of the river to defend against Wang Yu in the north. With only half of Hexi Road, how can they fight against Wang Yu who owns several roads?

Moreover, when facing Wang Yu, they still have the danger of the river to rely on!

The remaining half of Hexi Road is still in the hands of Zhao Ni of the Zhenxi Army.

Zhao Ni of the Zhenxi Army is just like Wang Ni in the north, they are birds of a feather, each of them has evil ambitions.

In this case, with wolves in front and tigers behind them, they can hardly protect themselves with only half of the Hexi Road. And have they gone through all this trouble until now, just to allow Your Majesty to establish a small separatist force?
