Chapter 154 Ape Soldiers
"Haha! Nangong Min, just experience the power of the ape soldiers!"
"Zhao Yuntian! Now that the enemy is invading, it is time for us to fight together and unite against the enemy. What are you doing?"
Nangong Min was secretly shocked while fighting. These apes were extremely powerful, and they were also proficient in martial arts and could use weapons with ease.
One ape soldier is enough to compete with an old soldier, but when faced with these new recruits, two or three people cannot defeat a single ape soldier.
"Haha! Namgoong Min, are you still daydreaming? Even a three-year-old can see what I'm going to do, and you're still pretending to be confused!"
"No matter how you pretend, you're dead today!"
"I don't have any personal grudge against you, right? Why are you targeting me?"
Nangong Min was more than capable of dealing with three or five ape soldiers, and took the opportunity to glance at Ji Huanan and the others.
They are indeed veterans who have been through many battles. Their martial arts skills are no less than his. Not only can they deal with two ape soldiers alone, but they can also help new recruits from time to time.
"I have no personal grudge against you, but I want to destroy the Great Zhou and become a noble or prime minister in another country. Now that you're blocking my way, you're naturally the obstacle I need to eliminate first!"
"If I kill you, Bai Li will be next!"
When Zhao Yuntian mentioned Bai Li's name, the sound of his teeth grinding could be heard by Nangong Min from a long distance away.
What else is there to say? Just fight!
These ape soldiers are flexible and have hard and slippery fur. When they are hit by a knife, they will twist their bodies and slide away. No matter how sharp the sword is, it is difficult to hurt them at all.
"Qianxi soldiers, listen up! Quickly retreat ten steps!"
"Raise the crossbow and shoot!"
Nangong Min gave orders calmly. Although these new recruits had been trained by Bai Li, their martial arts skills would not show results so quickly, but they were good at following orders and obeying commands without any problems.
More than 10,000 people moved in unison, and no matter how many swords and arrows were attacking them, they all retreated.
While retreating, they can also cover each other and repel the ape soldiers attacking them from behind and on the left and right.
A wave of crossbow arrows were shot out, and the ape soldiers rushing in the front were hit by arrows one after another, but the next moment, they counterattacked as if they had no sense of pain.
Nangong Min was horrified, and suddenly his ears moved, as if he heard a whimpering sound.
Ji Huanan ordered his men to shoot arrows continuously. After the ape soldiers were hit by several arrows, their bodies, which were pierced by arrows like hedgehogs, fell down and lost their combat effectiveness.
"This is too wasteful of arrows, Major General. How about we break out?"
Nangong Min said nothing, stepped aside and looked towards Zhao Yuntian.
Zhao Yuntian rode high on his horse, looking intently at the ape soldiers, without making any other movements.
Looking behind him again, there was no one.
Another sound was heard, and Nangong Min quickly followed the sound. There was a dark shadow hidden behind a big tree behind Zhao Yuntian's left side. Through the rain, he saw a section of a flute exposed.
"So he's the one controlling the ape soldiers. Ji Huanan, set up the formation and hold them there. I'll be right back!"
Ji Huanan nodded in agreement. Nangong Min forced back several ape soldiers and broke out of the encirclement, attacking Zhao Yuntian.
"Nangong Min, if you think I'm easy to bully, then come on, I'm going to fight you to the death today!"
But when Zhao Yuntian was ready to fight, Nangong Min passed by him and ran straight towards the big tree.
“Damn it!”
Zhao Yuntian secretly cursed Nangong Min for being cunning, but he couldn't abandon the ape soldiers and chase after them, so he could only pray that the witch doctor could protect himself.
Nangong Min's figure was fast enough, but the witch doctor hiding behind the tree was even faster. He ran away before Nangong Min could get close to him, and naturally had no time to play the flute while running.
Without the control of the flute, the ape soldiers who were hit by arrows cried out in pain and stopped moving forward.
The ape soldiers were in chaos. They were no longer wooden men who were not afraid of pain or death. No matter what orders Zhao Yuntian gave, they were useless.
Ji Huanan led his men to fight back, killing the ape soldiers so hard that they kept retreating with strange cries, and finally they fled in all directions.
Zhao Yuntian was extremely annoyed, but he had not trained the ape soldiers, and without the sound of the flute he had no way to deal with it.
Seeing the ape soldiers dying, being injured, or escaping, he turned his horse and escaped.
Nangong Min chased the witch doctor relentlessly. As soon as they met, he knew that he was no match for him. He chased him just to stop him from playing the flute to control the ape soldiers, giving Ji Huanan a chance to deal with them.
After chasing for a while, he estimated that Ji Huanan and his men had almost succeeded and immediately turned back.
The witch doctor ran a long way before realizing he had fallen into a trap, but it was too late.
He glanced back viciously, looked up to determine the direction, and walked away.
When Nangong Min returned to the tent, Ji Huanan had already counted the wounded and reported to him when he came back.
"One hundred of our soldiers were lightly wounded, and nineteen were seriously injured. All were scratched and hacked by the ape soldiers."
"If the Ape Soldiers were used by these traitors, the consequences would be disastrous."
"I just had someone count the number of people. There are more than 200 ape soldiers killed, more than a dozen seriously injured and unable to escape, and more than 100 who escaped after being shot by arrows."
"Zhao Yuntian is coming for Marshal Bai. I must quickly write a letter to tell her to be on guard."
Nangong Min was worried about Bai Li, but he had no choice but to remind her.
"Give orders to the soldiers to quickly pack up and assemble, and set off for Qianxi in one stick of incense!"
"yes!"
After an incense stick, Nangong Min looked at the assembled army, turned his head to look towards Yuanzhou, and waved his hand, "Let's go!"
The new recruit from Qianxi that Bai Li had been looking forward to had gone back before she received any notice.
On the day Nangong Min turned around, she received news that Simon's army had already set out for Yuanzhou.
She didn't need to guess, she knew that Simon was preparing to attack Yuanzhou with his advantage in numbers.
She urgently summoned Li Dazhuang and others to discuss countermeasures, and in the lobby of the barracks, several people started arguing.
"The imperial court hasn't sent any troops, and the reinforcements from Qianxi haven't arrived yet. Our Yuanzhou is in danger!"
"King Simon Jin was severely injured, so of course the Simon army went crazy. In my opinion, we shouldn't have killed them all and angered them!"
“Bang!”
Bai Li slammed his palm on the table, and a deep crack immediately appeared on the heavy table. Everyone was shocked and swallowed their saliva. The hall suddenly became as quiet as a chicken.
"If you were to do as you say, not only would you let Simon the dog ride on your head and poop and pee, but you would also have to worship them like ancestors so as not to annoy them?"
No one dared to respond. The deputy general who had just said this wished he could shove his head into his crotch.
"The enemy is already here to kill us. It's either you or him. How can we still show some mercy?"
"If you ask me, the reason why the Great Zhou is so cowardly is because of the inaction of you soldiers, which has allowed people to bully us to this extent!"
This was a serious statement, and someone immediately wanted to refute it, but when he looked up and saw the crack on the table, he silently closed his mouth.
Bai Zongren huddled in an inconspicuous corner without saying a word. He was only a small team leader and had no right to speak.
