At this moment, Wang Yang couldn't help but sigh and lament.
"No wonder we didn't encounter any martial arts masters from the Yuan Dynasty when we raided their camp last night."
"So they went to attack other cities!"
"I suppose they also felt that there were many experts in Xiangyang City, and it wouldn't be worthwhile to fight them head-on."
"This is... picking on the weak!"
After Wang Yang said this, all the martial arts figures present were indignant.
"hateful!"
"These Yuan people are truly treacherous and cunning!"
"We've found a few skilled individuals to infiltrate Xiangyang City under the guise of a surprise attack, while in reality we're using this as a cover to launch a surprise attack on other cities!"
The White-browed Eagle King said angrily, his face contorted with rage.
"I originally thought that Young Master Wang's raid on the enemy camp, which forced the Yuan army to break camp, was a great victory."
"Who would have thought that these martial arts practitioners from the Great Yuan Dynasty weren't idle either!"
"How cunning!"
At this moment, Qiu Chuji of the Quanzhen School suddenly said this.
At first glance, what he said didn't seem wrong.
Upon closer examination, however, it was clear that the implication was to downplay Wang Yang and his team's contribution to the night raid on the enemy camp.
Wang Yang naturally understood.
However, as the person involved, he couldn't very well refute anything.
Fortunately, even though he didn't say anything, the Green-Winged Bat King couldn't hold back any longer and glared coldly at Qiu Chuji.
"You old Taoist priest, can't you speak properly?"
"The alliance leader led us to raid the enemy camp, which was already a great victory."
"Just because other cities have fallen doesn't mean the alliance leader has no merit, does it?"
As soon as the Green-Winged Bat King uttered these words, the other martial arts figures present echoed his sentiments.
"The Bat King is right!"
"Master Qiu, why do you always target Alliance Leader Wang?"
"Has Alliance Leader Wang offended you in some way?"
"If it weren't for Alliance Leader Wang leading us in a surprise attack, not only would the Yuan army have been unable to retreat, but the city a hundred miles away would probably have fallen as well."
"Don't Taoists emphasize purifying the mind and calming desires?"
"I have a feeling that you, Master Qiu, are jealous of the leader of the martial arts alliance?"
"..."
Hearing the condemnation from the group of martial arts figures, Qiu Chuji felt his face burning with embarrassment.
He had already been very subtle in his words, but someone still managed to understand them.
In particular, everyone was criticizing him.
This infuriated Qiu Chuji, but he didn't know how to vent his anger.
Finally, he could only suppress his anger and force a smile, saying:
Fellow martial arts practitioners!
"You've misunderstood me. I didn't mean it that way."
"It's just a pity for the people of that city and the soldiers who defended it."
While saying this, Qiu Chuji had other plans in mind.
Last night, he intended to stop Wang Yang and others from going out to launch a surprise attack on the enemy camp.
But Wang Yang insisted on persisting.
He even publicly stated that if he was not convinced, they could have a match this afternoon.
"Wang Yang, your arrogance won't last long."
"Once I defeat you in public, let's see if you still have the nerve to cling to your position as the leader of the martial arts alliance."
After thinking about it this way, Qiu Chuji felt a little better.
He was very confident about defeating Wang Yang.
Just then, Guo Jing turned his gaze and looked at Wang Yang:
"Alliance Leader Wang, in your opinion, what should we do next?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into thought.
After pondering for a while, he pursed his lips and said:
"Master Guo, the crisis in Xiangyang City has been temporarily resolved."
"I propose that a group of experts be left in Xiangyang City, and the rest be assigned to other cities to guard against enemy attacks."
"The fall of the city must not be allowed to happen again."
After Wang Yang said this, Qingyi Bat King, Shuobude Monk, Yang Xiao, Baimei Eagle King, Song Yuanqiao, Yu Lianzhou and others all expressed their agreement.
"What Alliance Leader Wang said is absolutely right."
Yang Guo also praised it.
Master Kongwen of Shaolin nodded slightly, put his hands together, and chanted the Buddha's name.
"Amitabha!"
"Master Wang is kind-hearted and compassionate, and his heart is filled with the well-being of all people."
"This old monk admires you, excellent, excellent!"
Besides, Ma Yu and others among the Seven Masters of Quanzhen also became envious at this time.
They arrived in Xiangyang City, but before they could exert any effort, the Yuan army retreated due to Wang Yang and his men's night raid.
Now that they have the opportunity to showcase their abilities, they are naturally excited.
But when they thought of the grudge between Qiu Chuji and Wang Yang, Ma Yu and the others lowered their gazes.
At the same time, Guo Jing nodded with a look of approval after hearing what Wang Yang said.
"Leader Wang's suggestion is good."
"Now, my injuries have almost completely healed!"
"Leaving behind a group of experts, along with the Beggars' Sect's manpower, should make it easy to defend Xiangyang City."
"only……"
At this point, Guo Jing paused slightly, as if he had something difficult to say.
Seeing Guo Jing hesitate, Wang Yang smiled calmly and said:
"Master Guo, please speak frankly!"
"call!"
Guo Jing breathed a sigh of relief before adding:
"Currently, many border areas of the Great Song Dynasty are under attack, and the troops are scattered."
"Even the garrison of Xiangyang doesn't have enough troops to support you martial arts practitioners; at most, they can give you five thousand soldiers."
What Guo Jing did not expect was...
After listening to what he said, Wang Yang waved his hand and said...
"What do I think Master Guo is worried about?"
"These troops are unnecessary."
"The martial arts practitioners who came to Xiangyang's aid this time are all skilled fighters with strong individual combat abilities!"
"If we fight in large-scale battles, it will actually limit their capabilities."
"Sending only martial arts practitioners to support other cities will allow them to act quickly and utilize their strengths."
"Besides, there aren't many troops guarding Xiangyang to begin with. If we were to send 5,000 troops to guard other cities, we would inevitably be caught off guard!"
"It would be better to concentrate our strength and keep harassing the Yuan bandits, so that they will be exhausted and fearful."
"When the time is right, we'll crush them in one fell swoop!"
After hearing Wang Yang's explanation, Guo Jing couldn't help but clap his hands in praise:
"I admire Alliance Leader Wang's profound wisdom and foresight!"
As he spoke, Guo Jing bowed and clasped his hands in a respectful greeting to Wang Yang.
Huang Rong stared intently at Wang Yang, her eyes swirling with a strange light, and a strange feeling welled up in her heart at that moment.
I find Wang Yang's spirited and confident demeanor quite charming.
After listening to what Wang Yang said, the other martial arts practitioners nodded in agreement, agreeing that what he said made perfect sense.
"Alliance Leader, count me, the Azure-Winged Bat King, in this plan!"
The Azure-Winged Bat King took a step forward and bowed deeply to Wang Yang.
"I'm going too!"
White-browed Eagle King also stepped forward.
"Me too!"
"I am also willing to obey the leader's orders!"
Count me in!
"..."
Following closely behind, Song Yuanqiao, Yu Lianzhou, and others requested to join.
Seeing this, Qiu Chuji was very displeased, but he still spoke up:
"This humble Taoist priest is also willing to contribute!"
As soon as he said this, Ma Yu and the other seven Quanzhen disciples echoed his sentiments, expressing their willingness to follow Wang Yang's orders.
Just then, Guo Fu stammered out a sentence.
"Lord Wang... Alliance Leader Wang!"
"I want to go and fight the enemy too!"
Although she harbored resentment towards Wang Yang, her support for other cities was a matter of great importance!
Even Guo Fu, who was usually arrogant, could tell the difference at this moment.
Besides, she was also feeling bored these past few days, having been confined to the Guo Mansion by Huang Rong to reflect on her actions.
If they could be sent to support other cities, they could take the opportunity to go out and relax.
Seeing that Guo Fu volunteered, the two brothers, Da Wu and Xiao Wu, quickly stepped forward.
