Shaoyao came down from the roof. When the Chaoli people saw her, they immediately understood what was going on and shouted, "This person is good at poison, be careful!"
But it was too late. There was no need to care about the wind direction at this moment. Shaoyao jumped high and scattered the medicine powder all over the sky. At the same time, Gu Yanxi took action, wrapped the long whip around her waist and brought her behind him.
Shaoyao also took a long whip in her hand. She knew that her skills were not as good as others, so she specifically targeted those who were injured. As a result, the most people died at her hands, after all, only her long whip was equipped with barbs.
The poisoned Chaoli people wanted to end the battle quickly, but how could Qisusi resist them head-on at this time? They immediately changed to a mobile fight, dragging and pulling each other, and when the last Chaoli member fell, it was already dawn.
Shaoyao felt a little weak and her hands were shaking slightly, but she didn't care and just sat down and didn't move.
Having been poisoned by her, and facing the elite troops of the Seven Stars Division, they were able to sustain the attack for such a long time. Shaoyao felt a little confused. Would the Daqing army be chopped up like vegetables when facing such an enemy
After all, even if she equipped every military camp with poison, the effect would be limited due to the huge difference in combat power!
She looked up at Brother Yan beside her and said, "The troops can't stop us."
Gu Yanxi didn't say anything. He didn't know what to say. It was useless to say anything in the face of strength. When he saw Wang Hai coming towards him with red eyes, his heart sank even more.
"Master, nine of the Seventh Constellation were seriously injured, twenty-seven were dead, and everyone else was injured."
Gu Yanxi, who also had several wounds on his body, had not felt any pain at first, but now he felt pain all over his body. Twenty-seven people died, and he only brought seventy-nine people with him. The casualties were so great. How many twenty-seven people were there in the Qisu Division
Shaoyao moved her mouth, but finally closed it, supported herself on the ground and stood up to perform her duties as a doctor. There was nothing she could do about the injuries, but the seriously injured had to be kept alive, as long as they were alive, it would be fine.
After a while, Gu Yanxi finally spoke, "How many people are there on the other side?"
"Including the reinforcements that came later, there were a total of 68 people, 41 of whom died, and the rest are still alive."
Seventy-nine people besieged sixty-eight. Although the enemy suffered more casualties, it was clear that they had the upper hand in terms of numbers. Moreover, the reinforcements came later, which showed that the enemy's combat power was not inferior to that of the Seven Stars. If they were facing ordinary soldiers...
Gu Yanxi closed her eyes, not daring to think any further. If she really thought about it, Daqing might not last long. "Such a big commotion and no one came to investigate. Send someone to ask the Magistrate of Songzhu County if he is deaf or dead."
"yes."
Just as he was about to say this, a rider came galloping over, "Master, as you expected, a boat moved at the dock at dawn, and Yu Mu has already led his men to follow it."
Gu Yanxi had never thought that her side would be exposed. She had asked Yu Mu to stay and watch the dock just to be prepared for anyone who might escape. Now it seemed that the other party had made preparations. "How many ships were moved?"
"Six!"
"How's the draft?"
"Four of them have a deep draft."
Gu Yanxi turned around and looked at the subordinates who were taking care of their companions, "Those with minor injuries, follow me."
The people of the Seven Mansions gathered without hesitation. Gu Yanxi scanned them one by one and pointed at a few whose wounds had not yet stopped bleeding. "Stay. Wang Hai, take half of the people to catch up with Yu Mu by boat and follow the four boats with deep draft. The other half will follow me by land."
"yes."
Dai Chun got the horse, and he also brought a man with a limp. "Sir, his name is Liu Ming. He lived in the village for a few years when he was young. He is very familiar with this area. It will save some time if he leads the way."
Gu Yanxi knew where the village was. He looked at the man and asked, "Can you ride a horse?"
Liu Ming nodded, and subconsciously hid the shorter leg backwards.
"Take us to the shortest way."
Liu Ming didn't say anything, but just looked at Dai Chun. It was obvious that he trusted Dai Chun more than Gu Yanxi.
Dai Chun was a little embarrassed and explained in a low voice: "I once helped him a little..."
"Saving my life is no small favor."
Gu Yanxi raised her hand to stop the two from continuing, "Let's go now."
"Yes." Dai Chun winked at the man, signaling him to get on the horse quickly and stop talking about irrelevant matters.
Liu Ming was indeed quite capable. The route he led his group on was obviously not often traveled by people. Except for a short section where they had to walk slowly, they were able to run most of the way and reached their destination before the ship arrived.
"Give him more silver." Gu Yanxi hurriedly said this and rode away. This is the harbor where Yuanjiang River flows into the East China Sea. There is a pier here. If Sun Qi wants to deploy, he should choose here.
Sure enough, he saw people not long after he walked forward. The uniforms worn by the soldiers guarding the pass were different from those in other military camps. The collars and cuffs were wrapped with blue edges, and the tassels hanging from the helmets were also blue, making them very easy to recognize.
The other party also saw them and several people immediately surrounded them. "There is military business to be handled here. Please leave."
"I am the leader of the Seven Stars Division. Where is General Sun?"
The young general looked at him in surprise, but he didn't dare to refuse him. He bowed and said, "Please wait here. I will go and invite the general."
Gu Yanxi was not at all unhappy about being treated lightly. He would be worried if the soldiers guarding the pass were not so vigilant.
Seeing Sun Qi coming over from afar, Gu Yanxi dismounted and stepped forward to salute, "General Sun."
Sun Qi clasped his fists. This was the first time he saw the leader of the Seven Stars without his mask, but he knew his identity from the news he received. If he looked closely, he could see that this face was somewhat similar to the young prince's when he was a teenager.
"Since you have come here in person, has something changed?"
"Six ships left Songzhu Wharf at the same time this morning. I suspect they have one of their ships mixed in with them and are trying to take advantage of the opportunity to leave."
Sun Qi immediately understood, "I understand now. You are afraid that the money will run away, and you calculated that the time is almost up?"
"It should be."
"I'm just trying to prevent them from running away from here. Don't worry, they can't."
"I believe General Sun's promise."
"General." A young general came running over, "There's a boat coming up ahead."
“How many?”
"Two."
The two looked at each other, and Sun Qi ordered, "Do it."
"yes."
Gu Yanxi stood on the dock, watching several small boats speeding out. The people on the boats stood steadily and swung the hooks. Then there were splash sounds one after another. Many people went into the water. When they surfaced to breathe, they were already at the bottom of the boat. Then they dived down again. Gu Yanxi knew what they were going to do.
At this time, the flying hook had also flown out, but it was heading towards the sail. Some of the sails were torn down completely, and the worst one was hooked into two pieces of rags.
PS: I wish you all a happy new year one minute in advance, and hope that all your wishes will come true in 2018. Of course, don’t wish for eight or ten updates, and I’ll ask for the guaranteed monthly ticket at the beginning of the month.
