Xu Xiaomo smiled faintly. Her wounds were still throbbing, and after a long period of physical exhaustion, it was difficult for her to even stand up and take a few steps.

Wu Yaner was worried that Xu Xiaomo's injuries were serious, so she supported her and told her to walk carefully.

Initially, Xu Xiaomo had refused. After all, Wu Yaner's identity was unique and she was a young miss of gold. Why did she have to bother serving him like a maid?

However, at Wu Yan'er's insistence, Xu Xiaomo's steps seemed a bit empty, and she did not refuse again.

She was prepared to go to the soldiers' tents to check. It was all thanks to the hard work of the day that she had been able to win this battle.

Before he could take a few steps forward, he saw a soldier hurriedly walking in from afar. Xu Xiaomo recognized him at a glance. Wasn't that the soldier beside Vice General Wu?

When Wu Yaner saw this, she slightly frowned and asked in puzzlement, "Anchang, why did you come here just fine? Didn't father want you to rest in the tent? "

In the end, An Chang had been training everyday, and after running for a long time, his face was slightly flushed. He calmed his breathing and spoke with a serious expression on his face, "Just as what Young Master Xu said, the pirates are in a hurry to break through the wall and attack the military base, encircling the entire military base."

Hearing this, Xu Xiaomo fell into deep thought. She looked at An Chang gloomily and asked, "How many casualties did we suffer?"

Although she had set a trap for herself, but in a battle between two armies, there would at least be some casualties. Her plan was to reduce the casualties to a minimum.

An Chang said, "We have a total of a hundred soldiers. None of them died in battle."

"However, Vice General Wu considered the possibility of the pirates attacking us at any time, so he asked this lowly one to come over and inform Young Master Xu. If Young Master Xu has any plans or words, I will pass them on to Vice General Wu. " An Chang said respectfully, his expression showing his admiration for Xu Xiaomo.

Xu Xiaomo pondered for a moment. The casualties in the army weren't serious, but there were still a lot of pirates, so they had no choice but to keep fighting.

The problem was that they had run out of food reserves. The army could only sustain them for two days. If the pirates were not completely wiped out by then, it was very likely that the internal structure of the camp would begin to crumble.

This was a difficult problem that Xu Xiaomo had long considered, but unfortunately, he did not have a plan.

At this moment, the military camp's horn sounded out, resounding through the skies.

Xu Xiaomo looked towards the source of the voice and realized that the pirates had already launched their attack. His calm expression turned even more solemn.

Right now, Vice General Wu was probably defending the frontline. It would be best if he could think of a solution as soon as possible.

She was feeling anxious on one side, but on the other side, she heard the sounds of horses galloping towards her.

"Someone is coming!" Xu Xiaomo's heart skipped a beat and turned to look.

Wu Yan'er and An Chang looked over at the same time, but realized that there was no one in front of them.

Just as they were feeling suspicious, they saw a man on a military horse appear in front of them. He was wearing a military uniform.

This person was Niu Dazhuang, the soldier who had accompanied Nangong Xiao An to the lair of the pirates.

"Da Zhuang, you actually came back." Nanchang's anxious expression gradually revealed a joyful expression along with the appearance of Niu Dazhuang's ears.

The fact that Niu Dazhuang was able to appear here made it seem as if the general had already finished his business and was heading in their direction.

With the reinforcements of Huban's army, these pirates were nothing.

Niu Dazhuang dismounted from his horse and laughed loudly towards Nanchang. He then reported to Xu Xiaomo with a heavy expression, "Reporting to Young Master Xu, the Great General has completely destroyed the lair of these pirates. He has arrived at the river channel. He knew that the pirates would definitely seal off the entire camp, so he was prepared to take them out in one go. "

"However, the Great General said to capture the thief first and to capture the king. However, our men are still unable to find the position of the leader of the pirates. We hope that Young Master Xu can think of a way to lure him out. "

Hearing this, Xu Xiaomo, who was deep in thought, heaved a sigh of relief. Hearing that Nangong Xiao An was alright, she could be considered relieved.

To her, luring the leader of the pirates out was a piece of cake.

Xu Xiaomo reassured Niu Dazhuang that he would be able to take care of this matter. After the signal was sent out, the general would attack with all his might.

Soon after, with the support of Wu Yaner, Xu Xiaomo slowly made her way to the high platform of the military camp.

Undecided sounds of battle rang in Xu Xiaomo's ears, and all sorts of battles were being fought that caused his heart to tremble.

Xu Xiaomo had followed behind her father in the past, and she had experienced battles before. In the battlefield, life was always so minuscule, so minuscule that it was barely mentioned.

Now that he heard this, he was completely numb to it.

When Wu Guangzhen heard that Xu Xiaomo had come over with heavy injuries, he quickly came to greet her. Seeing Wu Yaner at the side, he immediately began to reprimand her, "Yan'er, now that Young Master Xu has been seriously injured, how can you act so wildly and bring Young Master Xu over? Isn't that the same as taking Young Master Xu's life?!"

After receiving her father's unfathomable rebuke, Wu Yaner was not going to accept it. She pouted her lips and was about to argue with Wu Guangzhen.

However, Xu Xiaomo, who was standing beside her, lightly patted the back of her hand, signaling her not to say anything more.

"Vice General Wu has wrongly blamed Young Master Wu. Actually, I voluntarily asked to come over myself. "Niu Dazhuang, who was standing beside the general, brought the news that he had arrived at the river and was now lying in ambush around this place …" Xu Xiaomo repeated what Niu Dazhuang had said to Wu Guangzhen.

When Wu Guangzhen heard this, he suddenly realized that the reason Niu Dazhuang had barged into the military camp during the chaos was for this matter.

"I will just lure the leader out. Let me handle this matter." "Young Master Xu, you're not feeling very well right now. Why don't you go back and rest?" Wu Guangzhen said slowly after pondering for a moment.

Xu Xiaowu shook her head, rejecting Wu Guang's good intentions. According to the information from Nangong Xiao An, the leader of this group of pirates was most likely Zhao Wansan.

Zhao Wansan was a poison master, which made him quite famous in the martial arts world. However, this person was greedy for money and sex. For the sake of profit, he would use any means at his disposal and was chased to this place by those in the martial arts world.

This person was a poison expert, he had to be careful.

Under Xu Xiaomo's insistence, Wu Guang had no choice but to bring her to the high platform. Immediately, he took a panoramic view of all the battles taking place under the high wall.

"Seems like the pirates haven't all arrived yet. They sent a portion of their men here to investigate the depths of our army." Wu Guangzhen explained the current situation to Xu Xiaomo.

Xu Xiaomo could see that. However, her eyes were still on the crowd. She seemed to be searching for something.

Moments later, her gaze suddenly stopped at the rear of the group. It was a short man whose entire body was covered in black cloth.

"It's him!" Xu Xiaomo's eyes flashed with a cold light as she retrieved the bow and arrows from the hands of the archer beside her.

This was an arrow shot!

Everyone was shocked, Xu Xiaomo was injured to such an extent yet she still wanted to shoot? Wasn't this asking for death?!

Wu Yaner was worried that something might happen to her, so she quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Young Master Xu, what do you want to do? Let the soldiers do it. Why do you need to do it yourself?"

Xu Xiaomo had a handsome yet tired face, and her eyes were bright and full of spirit. Gazing at the people in the distance, she softly said, "At such a distance, there aren't many people who can do it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Xiaomo unhesitatingly drew the bowstring in her hand.

Everyone heard a 'whoosh' sound in their ears. They saw the arrow instantly shoot out at an extremely fast speed.

Everyone's gaze followed his gaze.

The arrow pierced through the head of the man in black, leaving a bloody gaping hole.

Before the pirates could react, the man collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

What a powerful archery technique! It was even more powerful than Hundred Feet Piercing Sun. With such a long range, even if he could kill them in one shot, there would not be more than ten people in this world.

Wu Guangzhen was well aware of this fact. In his eyes, besides shock, there was also doubt.

They had long heard that the great general's martial arts were superior to everyone else's. They had never expected that this man's cousin was actually such a formidable martial art. This was truly admirable.

Wu Yaner lowered her head and secretly laughed. He had never thought that his beloved one would be so powerful that she would be able to easily kill him.

The pirates realized that the man in black had been shot to death, and panicked. They all turned to look at the city wall.

They wanted to see who dared to shoot their leader to death. However, it was precisely because this person was the leader that Xu Xiaomo wanted to shoot him to death.

Due to the excessive movement just now, it had affected Xu Xiaomo's abdomen, causing waves of pain.

However, she still forced herself to pull herself together and loudly said: "Now that your team leader has been killed by me, hurry up and call your second in command, the cowardly turtle, over to me. If he doesn't have the ability to attack our Hubai Battalion, then he should attack one of our generals' heads. Otherwise, in less than a day, I will definitely be able to eliminate all of you pirates! "

These words caused quite a few of the pirates below to panic. Now that even their leader was dead, how could they have the ability to resist?

Without another word, he threw down the weapon in his hand and fled.

As for the remaining pirates who were going to fight alone, since most of them had already left, it was obvious that he would be waiting for his death if he stayed behind.

Seeing that they had not dispersed yet, Xu Xiaomo took out another arrow and shot it at the pirates.

In between the flowing clouds and flowing water, he was extremely proficient. If it wasn't for the fact that he had been practicing archery for years and had high talent then he would never have been able to do it.

He was so frightened that before he could even retort, he had already run back.

Xu Xiaomo watched as the pirates retreated, before throwing away the bow and arrow in a powerless manner, his entire body teetering on the verge of collapse.
