Chapter 894: Charge into battle, kill the general and seize the flag
Perhaps it was because Mo Cheng's decision to not allow people to wear armor and to send them out of the city to fight the Wuman people seemed to be no different from seeking death in the eyes of others.
So when he left the city gate and after the agreed time, the number of people willing to follow him had dropped from over a thousand to more than eight hundred.
Among the remaining 800 people, there are quite a few familiar faces. They are the ones who followed behind yesterday. They have witnessed Mo Cheng's abilities.
If Mo Cheng fails to bring victory this time, I'm afraid these people will have to flee when they return to the city.
But it doesn’t matter. As long as we can keep bringing victory, it doesn’t matter what these soldiers think.
Li Guang and Huo Qubing treated their soldiers in completely different ways, but if you let the soldiers choose who to follow, I guess most of them would choose the latter.
There is no other way but to win the battle.
"Follow me."
As he spoke, Mo Cheng activated multiple halos on his body and took the lead with a blood-patterned spear in hand.
The soldiers behind him only felt that they had endless physical strength. They took light steps and were like horses leaping. Following Mo Cheng, the entire infantry actually ran out with the momentum of a cavalry charge.
Although Wu Man’s flying boat was hundreds of miles away yesterday, when Mo Cheng ran in one direction, he soon encountered Wu Man’s army.
This time, they did not encounter the Ghost Cavalry, but ordinary infantry. They did not even have armor and were wrapped in several sets of thick leather. I don't know if this can be considered leather armor.
At the same time, the weapons in their hands were bone knives and bone shields, and a few were holding spears. They were not at all on the same level as the ghost cavalry they encountered yesterday.
Mo Cheng didn't say much. He stabbed the leading general with the spear in his hand, and pierced him through. He didn't intend to activate the halo on the enemy, but activated the halo to bless his own side, allowing the soldiers behind him to reap the harvest.
There were not many infantrymen on this route and they were quickly cleared out. At the same time, Mo Cheng followed the direction from which the infantrymen came and found the Wuman camp.
Mo Cheng just said "charge the entire army", and then rushed in alone. After rushing in, he didn't care about other places and just charged towards the main camp.
Many soldiers tried to stop him on the road, and some soldiers were even stunned as they did not expect someone to directly attack the camp.
But Mo Cheng was not afraid at all. He simply raised his spear and stabbed. The soldiers who came to stop him were no match for him at all. They were pierced through the heart, had their skulls crushed, their throats severed, and even beheaded. All kinds of tragic deaths littered the ground where Mo Cheng was heading.
As the killing increased, the blood-marked spear in Mo Cheng's hand underwent a change. The pitch-black spear had more and more blood-marks on it. By the time Mo Cheng was like a sharp knife, killing almost the entire camp, the spear, which originally only had a few blood-marks, now had nearly one-third of its body turned blood red.
The blood-marked spear stabbed left and right, and in the blink of an eye, four or five soldiers in front of him were stabbed off their horses. Even though they had the speed of charging war horses, and even though Mo Cheng had no horse or armor at this time and only a spear in his hand, the result would still not be any different.
At this time, Mo Cheng had already reached the gate of the camp, and there was only a curtain separating him from the people in the camp. At this time, other soldiers in the camp also reacted and rushed towards the camp.
But at this time, the soldiers brought by Mo Cheng also rushed into the camp and fought with the Wuman soldiers.
Mo Cheng ignored the fighting in the camp and walked in by lifting the curtain with his spear.
The furnishings in the camp tent were quite simple. There was a table with maps and intelligence from various places, as well as a few stools for the generals to sit on.
There were only a few people in the tent. Some of them were dressed as generals and glared at Mo Cheng, holding their weapons tightly in their hands, as if they wanted to strike him hard when he wasn't paying attention.
However, Mo Cheng did not pay attention to these people, but instead focused his attention on an old man. He was a very old man , wearing a hat decorated with feathers of unknown birds and beasts, and holding a long bone-like staff with three skulls emitting sparkling crystal light on the top.
Although this old man looked very weak, his feeling told him that he was the strongest person in the entire camp.
"Put away your weapons, you are no match for him."
The old man's voice was hoarse, as if there was a mouthful of phlegm stuck in his throat that he couldn't spit out. He glanced at the blood-marked spear in Mo Cheng's hand and said, "Bao Lian, did you kill him?"
Mo Cheng did not answer, but looked at the old man quietly. The old man gave him a very strange feeling, that is, even if the distance was only a few meters, even if no one present could stop him, Mo Cheng still had a feeling that he [could not hit] him.
It felt very strange. Mo Cheng was sure that at this distance and angle, no one could escape.
But his feeling told him that there was a high probability that he would miss.
"You guys go out first, let me talk to this guest."
The old man obviously had a very high reputation among the Wuman. Those generals simply drew their weapons, cut a hole in the tent and went out. It was not that they didn't want to go out through the door, but when Mo Cheng stood at the door, who would dare to bet that they would not be killed by Mo Cheng if they walked beside him?
Mo Cheng had no intention of stopping the generals from leaving. In fact, his main purpose today was to train the troops. It was actually an acceptable thing for these generals to leave the organization and launch a counterattack.
"I heard that among the Wuman tribe, apart from the Wu King who is the common leader, each tribe respects the Great Wu Priest. I guess you are the Great Wu Priest of this tribe."
The Great Shaman coughed twice and said , "I am ashamed. I have been the Great Shaman for more than a hundred years, and the tribe has become weaker and weaker in my hands. Now I can't even conquer the weakest Baigu City."
“I don’t know…”
Before the High Priest could finish his words, Mo Cheng took action at that moment. He swung the spear with both hands and smashed it directly towards the High Priest without caring whether he could hit it or not.
The high priest frowned, slammed the long staff in his hand to the ground, and his figure turned into nothingness in an instant, just as he was about to avoid Mo Cheng's attack.
But the way Mo Cheng used the weapon at this time did not seem like he was using a spear, but rather like he was swinging a stick and hitting directly at someone.
The strength was concentrated on the spear, and he swung his hands forward violently . The void in front of him exploded and shattered.
All matter was shattered, and the mighty force directly penetrated the void and acted on the already ethereal Great Shaman Priest, knocking him out of the ethereal state.
[Strike the Earth with a Stick]!
The great witch priest crashed directly into the table, smashing it into countless pieces. The huge force of the mountains and seas wreaked havoc in his body. When he opened his mouth, he spit out countless tiny pieces of flesh, which were his internal organs that had been smashed into pieces.
"wait……"
What are you waiting for?
have no idea.
Before the High Priest could even utter a single byte, the blood-marked spear had already pierced through his chest.
…
That night, Mo Cheng led his troops back to the city and presented the head of the great witch priest.
This is the biggest trophy that Baigu City has ever obtained in the three hundred years since it was invaded by the Wuman.
