Chapter 923: The most advanced business wars are often fought with the most unpretentious means
"kill!"
Along with the roar came the ferocious murderous aura. Mo Cheng charged first on horseback. The waving of his spear was like the intersection of wind and thunder. In an instant, he stabbed two guys who looked like leaders off their horses.
Mo Cheng pierced into the army formation like the tip of a cone, and then the cavalry following him broke through the gap, and the team of less than a thousand people who dared to block the front was turned into meat paste under the iron hooves.
"How dare you stand in front of me with such a small number of people? What are you dreaming about?"
After a thousand cavalrymen broke through the enemy's formation, Mo Cheng led his cavalry to charge back and forth, killing all the people who were ambushed here.
This is the third day since Mo Cheng and his companions set out. Along the way, there are countless people who want to kill Yue Yao and seize the rare treasures in Mo Cheng's hands. Some of them are quite powerful, while others are just there to make up the numbers.
It was like this group of bandits lying in ambush nearby. They had a variety of weapons and a large number of people, but they did not look like a military formation at all. The scattered formation was dispersed by Mo Cheng's charge.
After the leading bandit was stabbed off his horse by Mo Cheng, he was still alive. His eyes were full of fear as he looked at Mo Cheng, his mouth opening and closing, and no one knew what he was saying.
He was probably shouting for mercy, or asking someone not to kill him.
Then Mo Cheng cut off the bandit leader's head.
"This is the leader of the bandits nearby. What's his name, Liangshanpo?"
After killing the bandit leader, Mo Cheng didn't need to worry about the other soldiers who were fleeing in all directions, because the cavalry under his command had been so bloodthirsty along the way that they had already ridden their horses to chase and kill the others .
Casually throwing the leader's head aside, Mo Cheng took out the map and looked at the route. He couldn't help but sigh, "I thought those people would send out some powerful people to stop us, but in the end, they were just these useless people along the way?"
It has been three days since they set out from Baigu City, and the obstacles that Mo Cheng and others encountered along the way were not too much of a problem.
In other words, compared to what Mo Cheng imagined, where countless resources and manpower were spent on setting up checkpoints at natural barriers, and every step forward was a meat grinder that required the loss of countless lives, the obstacles that appeared in the past few days were nothing more than assassinations carried out by a group of three or five people, poisons placed somewhere in advance, or driving away wild beasts in the mountains to try to disperse the escort troops.
The most commotion occurred when a cavalry squad of 100 men rushed out when they passed by a certain city...
And then nothing happened. Faced with thousands of cavalrymen and with the blessing of many halos, those people were crushed into meat paste by the iron hooves of Mo Cheng's cavalry before they even thought of escaping.
Today's ambush of nearly a thousand people is the largest one in recent days.
"This should be the leader of the Black Wind Village that the locals mentioned." Yue Yao took a look at the surrounding environment and couldn't help but sigh, "It can be seen that their ambush was very hasty. If they arrived at night or two, I'm afraid the losses would be great."
There were many signs of hastily set ambushes around, and even half-set traps could be seen. It was obvious that this group of people were not prepared at all.
Mo Cheng knew exactly why this was happening. "It seems that our speed of progress is far beyond their imagination."
Although Mo Cheng and his group had more than a thousand cavalrymen, their marching speed was not slow at all. It could be said that they passed one best ambush point after another at a very fast speed.
The effects of [Speedster] and [Aura of Swiftness] often give Mo Cheng the illusion that he is already a powerful hero at the level of [Three Heroes of Logistics].
"We need to be careful from now on. Our speed caught them off guard. I think they gave up the first half of the plan and put their focus on the second half."
Yueyao knew clearly what those who wanted to kill her were thinking, and she also knew that temporary setbacks and mistakes would not dispel their determination to kill her.
Because Yue Yao also knew very well that as long as she returned to [Nanli Daoyu], if she was not dead, then they would be the ones to die.
"Speaking of which, I'm curious about something. Why do those people want it so badly..." Mo Cheng made a throat-cutting gesture with his hand, "Or has the internal struggle and oppression in [Nanli Daoyu] reached this point?"
Although Mo Cheng himself is not very interested in the internal strife of a certain force, a situation like Yue Yao's can no longer be considered internal strife.
"Nothing, it's just that because of me, a group of people's wealth has shrunk to less than 1%." Yue Yao said , "I implemented new laws and regulations, causing some wealthy people who once earned a large amount of assets through illegal means to have their wealth reduced to less than 1%. By the way, I used the other 99% to improve public services, compensation, and try out new laws and regulations."
“I have to say those people have a lot of assets, which has brought my implementation plan forward by four or five years.”
"So you took other people's wealth to improve public services, and in the process gained favor and votes from the public?"
Mo Cheng looked at Yue Yao in surprise, "I suddenly understand why those people want you dead."
If it were someone else, as long as they didn't commit suicide because their property had shrunk to the limit, I guess they all wanted the culprit to pay the price.
"They set a trap, and I broke it. I just have to accept the loss ."
Yue Yao seemed to have little interest in this kind of thing and didn't have much intention of discussing it in depth, and Mo Cheng didn't ask too many questions.
After all, in his mind, the most high-end business wars are often fought with the most unpretentious means, such as homemade planes, homemade planes, and homemade planes.
"What do you think of the next journey? I am not familiar with the [Nanli Daoyu], and of course, I am more unfamiliar with those who want to kill you. Do you know where they will make the corresponding arrangements?"
Yue Yao lowered her head slightly and thought, "At the current speed, there should be about a day of peace in the next two days, and then those people will make targeted arrangements in the second half. As for what kind of arrangements to make..."
Yueyao shook her head, "...How strong are you?"
Suddenly, Yueyao asked a seemingly irrelevant question.
However, Mo Cheng soon realized the real reason why Yue Yao asked this question. She was asking about Mo Cheng's approximate strength to see if any adjustments were needed in the second half of the journey.
How strong is he?
Mo Cheng soon found the answer. He was willing to be kicked out of this world by the Heaven. Unless the immortals and gods came down to earth again after their ascension, Mo Cheng would not fear any enemy.
"Even if a god or immortal descends to earth and wants to hurt you, he must ask for my opinion first."
