The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 319 Attack (Please subscribe, please collect, please vote for the monthly ticket and recommend the ticket)
Knife-like cliffs stand opposite each other.

Below the cliff is a river hundreds of feet wide. The water is rushing and crashing against the cliff, splashing waves.

At this moment, thousands of people were standing on the cliff, looking at the river more than ten feet below.

This is Yingchoujian.

"If you have the guts, come over here!"

On the other side of the cliff, dozens of people were shouting at them, "Just wait, you rebels! Sooner or later, we will kill you all!"

The dozens of people shouted for a while, then turned around and disappeared into the forest.

Zhou Hui's face turned pale.

"Deputy General Zhou, as expected, the suspension bridge has been cut by them."

Su Mu sighed and said, "They are right in front of me, but I can only watch them escape. I am unwilling to accept this."

Zhou Hui clenched his fists, and his joints made crackling sounds.

"They can't escape!"

Zhou Hui said coldly.

The people opposite were the students from Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture whom they were hunting down.

The distance was several hundred feet. If they were on flat ground, his army would be able to annihilate the enemy with just one charge.

But now, separated by the river, they could only watch the other party escape into the mountains and forests.

"Cut down trees and build a floating bridge!"

Zhou Hui shouted.

A river hundreds of feet wide couldn't stop him!

The thing that is most in abundance here is trees. If thousands of people work together, they can build a floating bridge in three or four hours at most.

After three or four hours, those people can’t run far!
"We're here to help, too."

Su Mu said, and walked to the side with Luo Anning, Niu Wu and others, and started cutting down trees with knives.

"Su——"

Niu Wu frowned, glanced at Zhou Hui and others who were cutting down trees, came to Su Mu and whispered.

Do you really want to help chop wood?

Shouldn't we find a way to delay time?
"help."

Su Mu said in a deep voice, "Trust me."

Niu Wu hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth, as if venting all his anger on the trees.

The crackling sound echoed in the mountains and forests.

Soon, the ground was covered with thick tree trunks.

If warriors come to cut down trees, it is equivalent to a dimensionality reduction attack.

Especially Su Mu, he could cut down a tree with almost one stroke.

Zhou Hui's eyelids twitched as he watched.

One has to admit that Su Mu is indeed a contemporary genius. Although he is only at the True Yuan Realm, he makes him, who is at the Core Formation Realm, a little apprehensive.

Zhou Hui even felt that Su Mu's strength was not inferior to his.

He is a warrior at the initial stage of Jindan realm.

"He didn't delay."

Zhou Hui thought to himself that Su Mu really seemed to be concentrating on cutting down trees to help the army build a pontoon bridge, which was different from what Zhou Hui had thought at first.

He thought Su Mu was going to use some tricks to delay time.

After all, the slower the floating bridge is built, the farther those people on the other side can escape.

But now it seems that Su Mu did not do so. On the contrary, he helped with all his strength, as if he was afraid that the pontoon bridge could not be built fast enough.

"Could it be that he truly submits to His Royal Highness Prince Su? With his talent and strength, if he truly submits to His Royal Highness Prince Su, he will definitely be given important positions in the future."

Zhou Hui thought to himself.

The Jindan realm is almost the limit that Zhou Hui can reach in his lifetime, but for a contemporary genius like Su Mu, the Jindan realm is just the starting point.

It is foreseeable that in the future, Su Mu will be far superior to Zhou Hui in both strength and status if he truly submits to His Royal Highness Prince Su.

"Did I treat him too harshly before? Should I try to build a good relationship with him now?"

Zhou Hui's mind was somewhat shaken.

Along the way, Su Mu's behavior actually didn't have any major problems, and now he is helping with all his strength. No matter how you look at it, he doesn't seem to be pretending to surrender.

Zhou Hui now suspects that Hu Baidao is being too suspicious.

For a colleague who is destined to have a bright future, it seems that there is no need to hesitate at all whether to offend him or make friends with him.

Zhou Hui pondered for a moment and slowly walked to Su Mu who was busy cutting trees.

"Master Su, let them do the rough work. You can take a rest for a while."

Zhou Hui spoke slowly.

"It's okay. It's just a small effort. One more person means more strength. The sooner we build the floating bridge, the sooner we can catch up with those fish that have slipped through the net."

Su Mu said, "Deputy General Zhou, I know you don't believe me, but I will prove it to you with my actual actions. You can see how I perform after we cross the river."

"I actually trust you, Master Su."

Zhou Hui forced an unnatural smile on his face, "But you also know that our General Hu is cautious by nature--"

"I know."

Su Mu smiled and said.

"It is right to be cautious when marching and fighting."

Su Mu smiled and said, "After we complete this mission, General Hu may be able to see my sincerity.

Everyone will work for His Royal Highness Prince Su from now on, and Su will still have to rely on the care of General Hu and Deputy General Zhou. "

"Easy to say."

Zhou Hui nodded and said, "Sir Su, you have made a great contribution to the elimination of those who slipped through the net. I will send a letter to General Hu to ask for credit on your behalf."

As he spoke, Zhou Hui called over a personal soldier, wrote a letter in front of Su Mu, and asked the soldier to deliver it back to Hu Baidao immediately.

In fact, he could have waited until he crossed the river, killed all the students of Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture, and then reported to Hu Baidao after returning to the camp.

However, he has changed his mind now and wants to make friends with Su Mu. If he reports after returning to the camp, the value of showing goodwill will not be as great as it is now.

Now send the letter back in front of Su Mu, and then say some good words for Su Mu after returning to the camp, which is equivalent to showing goodwill twice.

Zhou Hui's mind was full of calculations.

Su Mu looked at the disappearing figure of the personal soldier, and a hint of thought flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"Thank you, General Zhou!"

Su Mu bowed and his address was changed from Deputy General Zhou to General Zhou.

Zhou Hui naturally also heard the change in Su Mu's address, and was secretly delighted, thinking that his attempt to please others had worked.

In the future, when His Royal Highness Prince Su takes over the world and Su Mu rises to prominence, who knows, I might be able to get some benefits as well.

"Master Su, you are too polite. We are all brothers, so I will naturally speak for you, Master Su."

Zhou Hui said with a smile.

…………

Five thousand people, especially five thousand well-trained elite soldiers, is a huge force.

Just over three hours later, a new floating bridge had been built on the river.

The rushing river water hit the floating bridge, causing the wooden boards on the bridge to shake.

It doesn't look very sturdy though.

But these soldiers are all warriors who have achieved success in body tempering, so this is not a problem for them.

"Cross the river!"

Zhou Hui waved his hand and said loudly.

"Master Su, please guard the rear. I will go first."

Zhou Hui said to Su Mu.

"General Zhou, rest assured, I will definitely take good care of the floating bridge."

Su Mu said.

Zhou Hui nodded, stepped on the ground, and crossed the hundreds of feet long floating bridge like the wind.

Following closely behind was the army of 5,000 people.

The crowd formed a long line and quickly crossed the floating bridge. After a while, some people had already reached the other side.

As more and more people arrived on the other side, Su Mu's brows suddenly frowned.

He looked at the river and began to wonder.

Could it be that Mo Xuesong failed?
That shouldn't be the case. He had known about the Beast Taming Sect's abilities before. As Mo Xuesong was a rare genius in the Beast Taming Sect, it shouldn't be a problem for him to lure some aquatic monsters over.

It would be fine even if it only attracted a hundred monsters over here.

Now that the army is halfway across the river, it is the best opportunity to launch an attack.

As long as the army falls into the water, even if there are only a hundred monsters, they will definitely suffer heavy losses.

Even if we cannot wipe out all of Zhou Hui and his men, it would be fine at least to kill half of them.

"Su Mu, it's bad, they are coming over, what are you thinking?"

Niu Wu couldn't help but whispered.

At this moment, suddenly, a white line appeared on the river surface in the distance.

The white line rushed towards the floating bridge at an extremely fast speed.

Niu Wu opened his eyes wide. He could see clearly a figure running wildly on the water as if it were flat ground.

That white line was chasing that figure.

"Mo--Cedar?"

Niu Wu opened his mouth wide and recognized the man.

The white line behind Mo Xuesong - that was not a white line at all, it was clearly a huge wave.

Among the waves, there are densely packed water monsters!
When Niu Wu and others saw this scene, Zhou Hui naturally saw it as well.

His pupils suddenly contracted.

"Cross the river quickly!"

Zhou Hui gathered his strength and shouted loudly.

The soldiers on the pontoon bridge also realized that something was wrong and they all sped up.

But the floating bridge is only so wide and it sways unsteadily. Even if we speed it up, how much faster can it be?

"Fire arrows!"

Zhou Hui's face turned pale, and he shouted at the soldiers who had already landed to attack.

Now there are only more than a thousand people who have successfully crossed the river. Those more than a thousand soldiers picked up crossbows and attacked the aquatic monsters that were approaching within a hundred feet away.

Mo Xuesong let out a strange cry and waved his hands continuously to block the crossbow arrows that were shot at him.

"Sir, I have done what you asked me to do!"

Mo Xuesong yelled at the top of his voice.

He raised his hand and threw something at Zhou Hui on the shore.

A black shadow came towards him, and Zhou Hui subconsciously chopped it out with a knife.

There was a click.

Zhou Hui felt that his blade had hit a hard object, causing cracks to appear on the object, which then flew out horizontally.

At this moment, suddenly a roar full of anger sounded in his ears, and then he saw a water dragon coming towards him.

boom!
Zhou Hui raised his sword to block, but the overwhelming force knocked him backwards, and the soldiers around him were knocked to the ground by the waves.

A lobster that was more than two meters tall rushed out of the water, waving a pair of large claws and attacking Zhou Hui frantically, as if Zhou Hui had raped its wife.

Fourth level monster!

Zhou Hui's face was also pale.

He couldn't understand what those water monsters were shouting, but as countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals rushed ashore and soldiers continued to fall in pools of blood, he knew that he was in trouble, big trouble.

The person who lured the water monster here has disappeared in the chaos.

Zhou Hui was very anxious.

"Master Su!"

He was beaten back repeatedly by the lobster monster and couldn't help but shout for help.

"General Zhou, hold on, I'm coming."

Su Mu's voice came from far away on the other side of the river.

The next moment, Zhou Hui's eyes were bloodshot.

He saw Su Mu wielding his sword recklessly, and his soldiers were immediately covered in blood.

All the people from the Taiping Division drew their swords, and countless soldiers who remained on the other side fell in the blink of an eye.

"you--"

Zhou Hui was furious. The people from the Taiping Division were actually colluding with monsters!

Before he could utter a word, the lobster of the fourth-level monster smashed his chest with its claws, causing him to spit blood and fall back.

Zhou Hui's eyes were red, "I will fight you!"

Some of his men fell into the river, while others were fighting with monsters on the shore. The river water had been dyed red by blood, and it was unclear whether it was human blood or monster blood.

There were so many aquatic monsters that he couldn't even tell how many there were.

He only knew that his life was over.

…………

"go!"

Su Mu forced the last soldier into the river and spoke to Niu Wu and others without hesitation.

Those water monsters had already come ashore and mistook them for enemies and began to attack.

Su Mu wielded his sword to kill several water monsters, then quickly retreated with everyone.

Fortunately, the water monsters focused their attack on the side where Zhou Hui was, and there were only a few on their side.

So soon, they got away.

After running for several miles, the sound of fighting could still be vaguely heard from behind.

Niu Wu and the others all had expressions of lingering fear on their faces.

The number of water monsters emerging from the river was simply too great, if not ten thousand, there would probably be at least eight thousand.

Zhou Hui is finished.

He and his 5,000-strong army are definitely finished.

"What happened? Did you do this?"

Niu Wu looked at Su Mu and asked in disbelief.

He had been following Su Mu all the time and had no idea how Su Mu did it.

But he didn't believe it if someone said that this matter had nothing to do with Su Mu.

How could it be such a coincidence that right here, Zhou Hui's 5,000-strong army encountered a water monster!

"If you're not blind, you should have seen it. It was me who did it."

Suddenly, a voice was heard, followed by a figure jumping down from the tree. Who else could it be but Mo Xuesong?

Mo Xuesong was in a dishevel, his face was pale, and there were several deep wounds on his cheeks.

"I did it, and I hope you can keep your promise too."

Mo Xuesong looked at Su Mu and said in a deep voice, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes. He almost had to be buried with Zhou Hui and the others.

"Don't worry, I keep my word."

Su Mu smiled and said, "But I think you can't be the pacification envoy."

"You want to regret it?"

Mo Xuesong frowned.

"You wiped out 5,000 rebels by yourself. With this achievement, I think you can be a commander."

Su Mu said with a smile.

"Commander?"

Mo Xuesong was stunned for a moment, "Really?"

If that's the case, then his efforts would not be in vain.

"We'll talk about the details later."

Su Mu smiled and said, "Can you tell me first, how did you do it? You actually attracted so many water monsters."
