Although Sheng Zhiqiang alerted the enemy, Ren Xiaoyao and the others had not shown up yet.
In other words, even if the Japanese pirates know that they have been discovered, they still don't know how many people are coming. There are about four to five hundred Japanese pirates, including many men and horses. Moreover, these Japanese thieves have always been bold, and most people don't take them seriously at all.
After Sheng Zhiqiang defeated the Dead Water Fairy, Ren Xiaoyao actually didn't know whether he should take advantage of the victory and pursue it, or wait where he was for the time being and wait until the situation was clear before taking the next step.
Just as Ren Xiaoyao was thinking this, a chaffinch flew in front of him again, chirping "chirp, chirp, chirp". Ren Xiaoyao had experience this time and knew that it was probably the expert who sent Yanque to report to them. There was a lot of noise in the cave, and there were obviously a lot of people there. If you and your group act rashly, you may really suffer big losses. However, at this time, another chaffinch happened to come to guide the way, just like timely rain, it came at just the right time.
At this moment, Ren Xiaoyao was even more certain that someone was secretly helping him. Moreover, this person seemed to be everywhere and could always predict the enemy's opportunities. Obviously, the person who secretly helped them had already found the hiding place of the Japanese pirate one step ahead of them. As for why he was able to find the Japanese pirates' hiding place so quickly, Ren Xiaoyao couldn't figure it out for a while.
Without further ado, since there is "someone" leading the way, we must act as soon as possible. If you move too slowly, the Japanese pirates may escape.
Tang Mugong was obviously more curious about who ordered this sparrow. Because in Tang Mugong's opinion, the only person in the world who has such ability is his grandson Tang Zhong, who is regarded as a fool by everyone. Wei Yan had always said before that she felt that Tang Zhong was still alive and beside them. Tang Mugong still didn't believe it at all, but a series of things that happened afterwards made Tang Mugong couldn't help but suspect that his grandson Tang Zhong had actually been helping them secretly. Because of these weird things, it seems that apart from his grandson Tang Zhong, there is no other person in the world who has such abilities.
"It seems that we came at the right time, so let's take advantage of the victory and pursue it." Ren Xiaoyao said, then rushed forward and headed straight for the entrance of the cave.
When Tang Mugong saw Yanque, he also understood Ren Xiaoyao's intention without using too many words, and immediately led others to follow him. Although the others didn't quite understand it for the time being, they saw that Ren Xiaoyao was already leading the way, so they had no choice but to follow immediately.
Although Sheng Zhiqiang repelled the Dead Water Fairy, he actually didn't know how many Japanese pirate masters there were in the cave. Even if you have great martial arts skills, you may still suffer a loss if you take risks alone.
But Ren Xiaoyao didn't say hello to him at all, and had already rushed in front of him. All the martial arts heroes in the Central Plains also drew their weapons, as if a war was about to break out. Sheng Zhiqiang didn't fully understand it yet, but the situation no longer allowed him to think, so he had no choice but to follow.
When Ren Xiaoyao walked to the entrance of the cave, he still hesitated because after all, he still didn't know anything about the situation inside the cave.
At this moment, a fierce noise suddenly came from the cave, all in Japanese language. Immediately afterwards, thick smoke poured out of the cave entrance, and there was a flickering fire.
Ren Xiaoyao heard the noise in the cave and knew that the Japanese pirates seemed to be in chaos. So he took off his scarf, covered his face first, and then rushed in first. He covered his face not because he was afraid of being recognized, but because the smoke in the cave was too heavy. He covered his mouth and nose when breathing to try not to be suffocated by the smoke.
Others did the same thing. Many of them wet their cloths with wine, then covered their faces, then pulled out their weapons and flew in like a kill.
Ren Xiaoyao, Tang Mugong and Sheng Zhiqiang took the lead in rushing into the cave.
The Japanese pirates were still retreating in an orderly manner, but Tang Zhong set fires everywhere in the cave, and the plan was completely disrupted. At this time, they were a nest of ants on a hot pot, and everything was in chaos.
Originally, Matsuno and others wanted to take a detour out of the cave after discovering that someone was setting a fire. However, they discovered that there seemed to be more than one person setting fires, and they were everywhere. They set fires wherever they had to go to get out of the cave, completely blocking their way.
Only then did Matsuno realize that the person who set the fire seemed to be unusual. He seemed to have met his opponent, and he had been being manipulated by the opponent.
"Find this spy for me!" Matsuno was furious and finally ordered loudly.
However, the time left for them was not enough to search for the spies in the cave, because at this time, heroes from all walks of life in the martial arts world had already entered the cave without any scruples under the guidance of Yanque.
Originally, Matsuno thought that the Dead Water Fairy had set up a formation outside the cave to temporarily hold off the enemy outside, but he never expected that the enemy would come so quickly, as if he already knew that his troops were in disarray.
Although the cave was complicated, there were many Japanese pirates after all, and Tang Zhong and others were quickly discovered. Tang Zhong and others did not fight vigorously, but relied on the sparrows to lead the way, and took advantage of the complex terrain in the cave to hide and seek with the Japanese pirates to escape. Not long after, Ren Xiaoyao and Tang Mugong had already arrived with their men, and had already engaged the Japanese pirates in battle. There was a sudden sound of killing in the cave. The warriors from the Central Plains entered the cave later, and there were many sparrows leading the way, so they knew the enemy's situation very well.
At this time, Tang Zhong felt that the mission had been completed, so he found the Long brothers as agreed, and then said to them: "What happens next has nothing to do with us. We have to find a way to escape quickly."
"I have left a trail, and I haven't set fire yet. We can go through it first." Long Fuzhang was smart and experienced, and he had already left a way out.
So the four of them followed the passage left by Long Fuzhang and quickly fled to another exit.
But before they had finished walking, they were unexpectedly stopped by a group of Japanese pirates who were making a detour. The two brothers Long Fuzhang and Long Fusheng saw that the enemy did not have very powerful masters, so they took a preemptive strike and rushed directly towards the group of Japanese pirates.
Long Fuzhang and Long Fusheng were already good at martial arts, and they struck first. There were about ten Japanese pirates in this group, but they were the first to knock down five or six of them.
The Japanese pirates were also vicious people in the first place, but when they saw that the other party was even more ruthless and even knocked down half of them first, they were stunned for a moment. The Long brothers took advantage of the situation and went up to fight with the remaining Japanese pirates. The two of them worked hard and finally eliminated the twelve Japanese pirates. However, during the fight, Long Fusheng was still hit by a flying arrow in his right arm.
Long Fuzhang pulled out a flying arrow, but saw that the arrowhead turned black, apparently due to the poison.
"Hidden weapons are poisonous!" Long Fuzhang said, first he took out a pill and asked his cousin to take it, then he helped Long Fusheng up and quickly went to the entrance of the cave.
This pill is not an antidote, but just a refreshing pill that can temporarily suppress the poisonous mood, so that the poison will not spread to the internal organs for the time being. This kind of pill is actually relatively common. Many heroes in the world will bring some similar pills with them when they travel around the world.
At this time, there was another Japanese sound coming from behind. It was obvious that a large group of people were following, and they may have been disturbed by the sound of their fighting.
"Quickly go! I'll set fire to the rear." Tang Zhong said, and then asked Long Fuzhang and Wang Ruobin to take the injured Long Fusheng and escape to the entrance of the cave.
Long Fuzhang had already placed a pile of firewood in this branch cave, just to leave an escape route, so he did not set a fire for the time being. After Tang Zhong's Long Fuzhang and Wang Ruobin left, the enemy had already chased them, so they threw down a fire, and a fire immediately ignited in the cave, filling the originally small cave with thick smoke and fireworks.
Tang Zhong himself was choked by the fire. He just covered his mouth and nose and ran for his life while coughing.
Tang Zhong doesn't understand martial arts at all now. If he is blocked by Japanese pirates, he will definitely be captured without mercy. Fortunately, Tang Zhong was not slow in his actions and quickly caught up with Long Fuzhang and the others. The enemy behind him was temporarily blocked by the fire and could not catch up for a while. The four of them explored about five or six caves before they found the exit of the cave under the cliff on the other side.
Tang Zhong and others did not dare to stay, so they had to go straight to Xiaoyaomen. Firstly, he was afraid of being caught up by Japanese pirates, and secondly, he was also afraid that his grandfather and people he knew would find out his true identity, so he had to temporarily retreat to Xiaoyaomen.
However, with the interference of Tang Zhong, the Japanese pirates, who originally seemed to be powerful, actually became chaotic. At this time, Ren Xiaoyao led a large number of martial arts heroes into the cave again, and the Japanese pirates were unable to resist them for a while.
Matsuye, Dead Water Fairy and Zheng Jing saw that the situation had become extremely chaotic and they couldn't stop drinking. The people in Poisonous Beast Gorge had long since fled without a trace.
When disaster strikes, we fly separately. In this operation, there are only a dozen people in Dushou Gorge, so it is naturally more convenient to move. Matsuno didn't even see where they escaped from the cave.
"kill!"
The sound of killings in the cave was loud. They were all heroes from the martial arts world of the Central Plains, and all of them were strong in martial arts. In the past, Japanese pirates were tyrannical, mainly because their whereabouts were erratic, and they always liked to launch sneak attacks first, making it difficult for people to guard against them. In fact, if the Japanese pirates were serious about fighting with the martial arts factions in the Central Plains, they would not have any advantage at all on land.
The chaffinches that Tangzhong recruited to guide the way were not just one or two, but a large group. At this time, the martial arts heroes were also divided into three teams, chasing the Japanese pirates all the way from each branch.
Ren Xiaoyao led one group, Tang Mugong led the other group, and Sheng Zhiqiang, as the leader of the alliance, also led a team of people to pursue the Japanese pirates separately.
There are many branches in this cave, and there are countless exits. Fortunately, Ren Xiaoyao and others were led by sparrows, who seemed to be more familiar with the terrain than the Japanese pirates, so they chased them all the way. The Japanese pirates were unable to block their attack, and they were instantly killed and fell to the ground.
Matsuye, Dead Water Fairy and Zheng Jing had no choice but to lead the defeated soldiers and risked their way through a fire blocking the road, flying towards another exit.
At this time, there were only about thirty people left around them. The people in Dushou Gorge were completely missing, and Mu Tengzuo was nowhere to be seen. However, Shui Qingzi had been following Zheng Jing honestly.
"They are all a bunch of treacherous thieves!" Zheng Jing cursed.
"Okay! Since we suffered such a huge defeat today, with 90% of our five hundred troops lost, why don't we think about how to explain to the master when we go back?" Matsuno said worriedly.
The three of them also knew that those men who were still in the cave must have never returned. Even if they don't die for the time being, they must have become prisoners of the Central Plains warriors.
"The most hateful thing is this Sheng Xiao'er! Junior sister, he is yours. If you don't explain this matter, even senior brother I will not let you go." Matsuno said coldly.
"Okay! I have my own sense of discretion!" Dead Water Fairy said coldly.
"Hurry up, they will catch up in a moment!" Zheng Jing said, and ran away for his life.
