Chapter 15 Reasons for Defeat

Updated: 2012-09-29

As Wu Liang predicted, when Midangs led his troops into the Ekansas territory, he was hit by consecutive attacks by the tribes including Edger, Aisas and Samach.

Perhaps it was to show that he was the real master of Ekansa in front of his tribe members? These three teams suddenly had the same guns as they were outside, which made Midons feel pressured. Moreover, all of these three teams came desperately. Midons was beaten back before they even advanced a few miles, and was still beaten in their butts. Especially the commando led by Area almost killed Midons several times. Fortunately, the team led by Leng Da suddenly appeared and rescued Midons.

However, it may be that the previous victory gave Ekansa a long-lost pleasure and confidence. The three forces fought with Miyesa and the coalition forces of Shuguang City. Leng Da could not resist the attack of the three parties, so he fled to Shuguang City. As for Midons, he was led by Leng Da and fled back to the territory of Shuguang City. Other soldiers scattered birds and beasts and could no longer organize effective resistance.

And these three groups of troops did not continue to go deeper. They seemed to have a tacit understanding and withdrew one after another. Perhaps everyone knew that winning a game was nothing, and who could win in the battle for Ekansa was the most important thing.

As for the news of the failure of Shuguang City and Miyesa's coalition, not only shocked Miyesa, but also Shuguang City also felt a lot of shock. When Leng Da brought Midons back, Leng Da found that many people were looking at him with disdain, as if mocking him for losing his first battle.

Wu Liang immediately summoned all the leaders and also treated Midangs well, although this guy looked a little listless at the moment.

"Brother Midangs, you weren't seriously injured, right?" Wu Liang asked loudly, and Midangs was ashamed to deal with Wu Liang head-on, so he just lowered his head and said it was okay. Even if Midangs was seriously injured now, he had to stand up. Who told him to take his own initiative and not obey Wu Liang's orders?

Wu Liang then looked at Leng Da, Leng Da took a deep breath, and then said loudly: "Lord, Leng Daxun has brought Lord Midangsi back without any shame!" Then Leng Da looked up at Wu Liang's expression, and when several leaders next to him said this, they laughed, obviously disagreed with Leng Da's summary.

Wu Liang nodded, then walked to Midangs. Midangs saw Wu Liang coming and looked up at him in confusion.

"Do you know the reason for this defeat?" Wu Liang's tone was very kind, as if a kind brother was educating his younger brother.

Midons nodded in anger and said, "I am too proud to be greedy for merit and advance." At this moment, when I was defeated, Midons didn't mind that the leader of Dawn City was surrounded by the leaders. It was precisely because of this reason that Wu Liang felt that this ape man was very affordable and would work with him wholeheartedly.

"As long as you remember this failure forever, you will never make the same mistake again in the future." Wu Liang didn't say anything. He asked someone to send Midons to a tent next to him to rest. After Midons' mood stabilized slightly, Wu Liang sent someone to send him back to Miyesa.

After Midangs left, Wu Liang was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Lengtian, how do you think this Leng big mission is completed?"

Leng Tian hesitated for a moment. He opened his mouth but did not say it in the end.

"Senmu, what do you think?" Wu Liang looked at Senmu again. Later, he asked Gangshan again, but no one spoke.

"You don't speak, but you are not standing on Leng Da's standpoint, but you think that he has done something badly and has not led good soldiers, which has ruined the reputation of our Shuguang City, right?" Wu Liang said in a deep voice, while Haze Tian hurriedly said: "Elder, Leng Da is actually the first time he has led his troops, even if there are some mistakes..."

"That's what you think?" Wu Liang suddenly raised his hand and stopped the haze and continued to talk. The leaders all lowered their heads, as if Wu Liang had their heads pointed, and only Xiao Gan was still there smiling while eating fruits, as if nothing happened here had to do with him.

"Leng Da, how did I tell you back then?" Wu Liang sat down, then poured a glass of wine casually. He didn't drink it but just stared at Leng Da silently. When Leng Da heard Wu Liang's question, he raised his head and looked directly at Wu Liang and replied, "The elder repeatedly explained to me that the main task this time is to rescue Midangs, and our dispatch of troops this time cannot hinder the previous plan. The elder asked me to act according to the opportunity."

Wu Liang nodded: "Take a role when you see the opportunity...how did you do it?"

"I followed Miyesa's troops and waited until Midons was in danger and suddenly sent troops to rescue him. He confronted the soldiers of Ekansa for a while. Because of the lack of people and the morale was low, he was defeated." Leng Da faithfully retelled the previous battle. When he talked about the defeat, Wu Liang suddenly said: "You should know that this is the first time I asked you to lead troops, but you dared to defeat?"

"It was the elder who asked me to act according to the opportunity, and there was no regulation that I could only win and not lose!" Leng Da said without hesitation: "And Midangs was not dead, so I took me back to Dawn City. I think this mission was completed very well!"

Leng Da's words caused an uproar among the dozen apes around him. No one expected that this guy would have lost the battle and said that he had completed the task perfectly. Leng Tian didn't say much about Wu Liang's face, and the other leaders directly scolded him, no matter what, there was no regulation, only victory, not defeat? Which battle was not intended for victory?

"This kid is interesting!" Xiao Gan looked at the chaotic scene in front of him with great enthusiasm. He smiled and said to himself: "I really didn't expect that you would dig out such a treasure."

Wu Liang coughed lightly, then raised his right hand, and the leaders who were noisy and scolding Leng Da gradually calmed down, while Leng Da still stood with his head raised and could not see any guilt or uneasiness on his face.

"Leng Da." Wu Liang suddenly asked, "How many people will I send you?"

"One hundred people." Leng Da said without hesitation.

"Then how many people did you bring back to me?" Wu Liang asked again.

"Eighty-six come back alive, with more than a dozen of them being slightly injured, two of them seriously injured but not in danger of life..." Leng Da was quite familiar with the situation of his team, and his words once again made the leaders in the tent amazed. Wasn't it a big defeat? Why did he lose such a small amount of manpower?

"How is that possible?" Wu Liang also looked disbelief: "I heard that our front was defeated after the battle, why did we have only such a small loss?"

Leng Da is destined to be the focus today because his words subverted the traditional concept of these ape leaders in leading troops to fight.

"Before leaving, I will tell you that we can ignore anyone except Midons in this war. And as long as Midons is saved, we can only lose but not win. Whoever runs slowly and is killed will be stupid, he will not blame others..." Leng Da said this and was directly in a tent. If he had only scolded and questioned before, he would have been cursed and distrust this time. Some people even suggested arresting Leng Da and beheading, because the failure of leading troops in the battle is not scary. What is terrible is that before the war, the soldiers had to lose. Can Dawn City still win the battle?

But Leng Da didn't explain, but just looked at Wu Liang with his chest straight, as if he was waiting for Wu Liang's execution.

"Why do this?" Wu Liang's expression was calm, while Leng Da continued: "Because we want to take Ekansa as soon as possible, we must make them have no concerns and defenses about us. If this time is not a defeat, it will inevitably make the three forces of Ekansa open us at any time. If this defeat will make them careless. In this case, as long as the three families turn back and fight each other, Ekansa will definitely be our treasure!"

"Sure!" Xiao Qian's lips raised up. He looked at Leng Da first, then picked up the wine glass in the direction of Wu Liang. Although Xiao Qian didn't say anything, he drank the wine. Wu Liang also smiled and brought the wine glass that had been filled with wine before to Leng Da, handed the wine glass to Leng Da and said, "Thank you for your hard work, I did not misread you!" Wu Liang's action also aroused the leaders' surprise!

"I know that failure may be a difficult thing for everyone to accept." Wu Liang turned to the other leaders and said: "But at some point, it is okay for us to fail strategically for certain goals!"

"Although Elder Akansa was killed by us, and the internal struggle is in full swing, if they unite, they will still have the combat power of one or two thousand people! This is not what I want to see, nor is it that we can compete with." Wu Liang's tone gradually grew: "We must make them careless and let them kill each other. When they only have the last breath, we will walk to them, cut off their heads, and take away their fruits of victory, so that it is the most beneficial to our Dawn City!"

"So, for Leng Da's decision this time, I will not only not punish him, but also reward him!" Wu Liang announced the decision he had already made: "From today, I will set up another team of thirty people in addition to the Heavenly Ministry, Earth Ministry, Mountain Ministry, Kirigi, Wind Ministry, Long-range Attack Force and Commando. This team will be led by Leng Da, so that they need to perform some special tasks."

Leng Da was immediately excited when he heard Wu Liang's words. Although he had joined Wu Liang's Guards before and was also responsible for the training and reorganization of the commando team, these were all empty positions without real power. This time, the special operation team formed by Wu Liang is a real armed force, a team that is completely led by Leng Da and can fully realize his potential. How can Leng Da not be happy?

"You have to know that although thirty people are not too many, the number of soldiers is no longer large." Wu Liang asked Leng Da to pick people from the more than 80 people who came back from the battlefield. Taking Leng Da's battle as an example, many leaders knew that sometimes they needed to make choices from the overall situation and the situation on the battlefield. The most basic leaders of Dawn City also learned a lot through this "defeat", allowing them to command troops more cleverly in future battles.

"Is the elder worried about anything?" When everyone gradually dispersed and only Wu Liang and Leng Da were left in the tent, Leng Da asked Wu Liang this time: "I feel that the elder seems to have some concerns?"

Wu Liang looked up at Leng Da. He didn't expect that someone could see through his thoughts.

"We are all arranged, but I am worried that if Ekansa is obtained by Edger or Ereya, then Ekansa, which was originally like a loose sand, might become a rock again..." Wu Liang wanted to get Ekansa's resources, and what he feared the most was Ekansa's resources. There was rich human resources and sufficient food, and there was a lot of weapons and equipment in stock. If Edger or Ereya was in charge of the tribe, then the people's will probably become a difficult bone to crack.

"Don't worry, elder." Leng Da seemed to know some inside stories about Ekansa: "Neither of these two people can sit on the position of elders. Just based on my understanding of them, maybe before I could defeat the others, these two guys started fighting first..."
