Chapter 1334 Heavy casualties
At this time, Hu Zongxian began to feel a little nervous. He had a faint feeling that it was the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan who deliberately led them into the depths.

Hu Zongxian led a group of people to hunt down Zhang Daoyuan in Jiangxi. He didn't know that another group of people encountered the same problem as him in Guangdong.

However, he could predict that the army in Guangdong might encounter the same situation as him.

He now has two options.

One is to continue chasing Zhang Daoyuan, and the other is to withdraw immediately.

Withdrawing at this time, Hu Zongxian was very unwilling, and he had a worry in his heart. If he did not catch or kill Zhang Daoyuan in the end, Emperor Jiajing might not let him go.So, in the end he gave the order to continue searching for Zhang Daoyuan in the deep mountains.

but……

The tables turned around overnight.

Hu Zongxian's army began to be attacked by Zhang Daoyuan's people day and night. Although the number of people who attacked them was not large each time, they were very frequent. The way he looked when he was killed.

Zhang Daoyuan's situation at this time is like a dragon entering the sea. Hu Zongxian and the others are harassed and attacked day and night, and they have no time to rest at all. Even sleeping has become a problem.

Moreover, in the old forest, it was rainy and the roads were muddy and slippery, which greatly reduced Hu Zongxian's combat effectiveness.At the beginning, because Zhang Daoyuan and others consciously pretended to be invincible, Hu Zongxian and others' morale was high.But at this time, Zhang Daoyuan's people showed their ferocious fangs, and people in Hu Zongxian's army were dying every day, which made Hu Zongxian's morale plummet.The number of casualties is increasing every day.

Eighteen days later, Hu Zongxian led 10 people into the mountain, and more than 2 people died.The most important thing is that Hu Zongxian couldn't find a solution to the problem at all.Moreover, Hu Zongxian realized that if this continues, the remaining 8 people may also die here.

Because they are not only attacked by Zhang Daoyuan and others every day, but also have no food these days, and they all rely on hunting. This is their deep disadvantage, and the supply cannot be supplied.

Hu Zongxian immediately and decisively ordered the withdrawal of troops, but it was easy to come in, but difficult to get out.

They went too deep, even without Zhang Daoyuan and others' continuous attacks, they would have to walk for nearly a month before they could get out.

not to mention……

At this time, Zhang Daoyuan and the others started chasing and killing Hu Zongxian instead, and they, who were familiar with the mountains and forests, came and went without a trace like ghosts, like gods of death, reaping the lives of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty every day.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are about to collapse!
The most terrible thing happened. Two days before they were about to escape from the mountains, Zhang Daoyuan's people finally found an opportunity. They shot Hu Zongxian's right shoulder with an arrow, and it was a poisonous arrow, which made Hu Zongxian die very quickly. Passed out.Although he was quickly healed by the military doctor accompanying the team, his life was not in danger, but he was unconscious.

In this way, Hu Zongxian's army, which lost its leader, was even more defeated and fled in a panic. When they escaped from Lao Lin, only 10 of the 4 people who came in at the beginning were left.

Fortunately, in the big camp at the foot of the mountain, Hu Zongxian still left 5 people, which made Zhang Daoyuan very afraid and did not dare to attack the big camp.Two days later, Hu Zongxian woke up, but received the news from Guangdong. It was the same as what happened to him. Hu Zongxian immediately vomited blood and fell into a coma again.

Luo Xin put down the letter, frowning deeply, he felt that the crisis was surrounding him, which made people feel suffocated.

Big defeat!
Hu Zongxian had an army of 30, 15 in Guangdong and 15 in Jiangxi, but now there are only about 18 left, 12 each in Guangdong and Jiangxi, and [-] casualties.

"Brother Hu, this kind of defeat... oh..."

Luo Xin sighed, and then put aside Hu Zongxian's future for the time being. Now he has to consider the matters of Guangdong White Lotus Sect and Jiangxi Zhang Daoyuan.

The army in Guangdong and Jiangxi should have no problem at the moment. Although the morale of Hu Zongxian's soldiers who came out of the deep mountains and old forests is low, they are still strong compared to the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan.Outside the mountains, the Ming army regained its advantage, and the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan, who did not have the advantage of protecting the deep mountains and old forests, would not have an impact on the camp. That's about 1 people.

The reason why they defeated Hu Zongxian was nothing more than relying on their familiarity with the deep mountains and old forests. From this point of view, the old nest of the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan should be in the deep mountains and old forests.

However, low morale is real, and if it is not revitalized for a long time, I am afraid that it will really lose.Casualties of 12 troops are already a serious crime, and Luo Xin will be implicated.So at this time, there must be a person with enough status and prestige to go to the front line.

Who is this guy?
Luo Xin smiled wryly, now in Daming, apart from Hu Zongxian, only Ma Fang and himself.Now that Ma Fang is far away in the north, she is the only one who manages the south, and it is within the scope of her duties. At this time, she is the only one going.

Luo Xin began to prepare to leave Suzhou and go to Jiangxi.

Yes!

He is going to Jiangxi first.In fact, in Luo Xin's view, the White Lotus Sect is more harmful than Zhang Daoyuan, but he knows that in the hearts of Emperor Jiajing and the cabinet, Zhang Daoyuan is much more important than the White Lotus Sect, so he may not completely destroy the White Lotus Sect , but couldn't let Zhang Daoyuan go.

Originally, he also admired Zhang Daoyuan, and when he met Zhang Daoyuan, he also decided that as long as Zhang Daoyuan was not too much, he would not make things difficult for Zhang Daoyuan.However, today's Zhang Daoyuan is more than excessive?
Before he leaves Suzhou, government affairs must be arranged.After being so busy for two days, before he could arrange everything, He Xinyin came.

This can't help but make Luo Xin overjoyed, now he is short of available people around him.Moreover, He Xinyin is indeed a great talent. He has cooperated with Luo Xin many times, and he is very at odds with Xu Jie, and even has a close relationship with Xinxue.Luo Xin can basically trust this person.

Joyfully welcomed He Xinyin in, and waited for the servant girl to serve tea.Luo Xin said happily:

"Brother He, it's great to have you here."

He Xinyin waved her hand and said, "I'm here to help you, and I'm here to pay off the debt. After all, I was the one who prompted you to cooperate with Xinxue, but I didn't expect Xu Jie to be so dirty, which made me ashamed of you."
