Things came quickly, and they were just being prepared in Seven Star City, and not only was the whole army heavily defended. It also mobilized the people in the city, as well as the heads of major families or elder-level figures to prepare to watch the battle, and the people and wang clans of the three cities combined had more than two thousand people.

In order to let these people have a good place to watch the battle, Mu Youchen even chose a special place for the duel outside the city. They even set up teahouses and fruit stands, and even pulled out the cooks in the restaurants. The goal is to provide water and food to these spectators.

In addition to these things, Mu Youchen also sent people to send letters to many cities, inviting them to watch the battle, and even many bandits and robbers who rose in the troubled times were invited by Mu Youchen if they had a clear purpose.

The purpose was to let the world see the battle and tell the results of the battle.

……

Xu Ping took a thousand soldiers and thirty selected spirit cultivators, along with hundreds of famous families from Tianshui City, and marched in the direction of Seven Star City. Although the Southern Chu State conquered Tianshui City, it was very good to the famous families and even the people of Tianshui City. Although the adoption of the Huai Rou policy may not be effective, it can also reduce the resistance of the local people.

Xu Ping was Luo Ming's lieutenant general, and he knew that the purpose of Luo Ming's operation was to reduce casualties on the one hand, and to ensure his undefeated myth on the other hand.

Similarly, if you can take the Seven Star City in this way, it will be considered a great achievement.

Thinking of this, Xu Ping couldn't help but let people speed up, in fact, it was those famous families who slowed down the speed, these people were from extraordinary backgrounds, and even many of them could influence the entire southern realm, and the energy of these people was very large, so Luo Ming let these people follow, the purpose was to let these people see the strength of the Southern Chu Kingdom.

Thinking of this, Xu Ping also thought of Luo Ming, Luo Ming is now nearly sixty years old, and he has been fighting for decades, except that his surname is not prominent enough, his military exploits can be described as like the stars in the sky, and the number is not clear.

But Luo Ming is old after all, and sooner or later he will have to leave the army. At that time, Luo Ming's Eighth Army Corps and Ninth Army Corps, totaling more than 72,000 people, needed a new commander.

And the person in command of this commander will definitely be chosen from the generals in the two legions, Xu Ping has followed Luo Ming for many years, and he can be described as loyal, although his ability is slightly insufficient, but he will definitely have a chance.

Xu Ping is now thinking about how to do this thing well, so that he can work hard to win this opportunity.

"Speed up!"

Every time Xu Ping thought of this, he couldn't help but get excited. So he kept urging his subordinates to hurry, and those of the famous families also accelerated their pace, but looking at their worried looks, they knew that these people were not very optimistic about their fate.

Stomp, stomp!

Just when Xu Ping fantasized that he could become the commander of the Eighth and Ninth Army Corps, command the army, and dominate the storm. The sound of horses' hooves woke Xu Ping, who hurriedly looked over, only to find that a cavalryman was rushing quickly in their direction.

"General, it's the Yasukuni Army of Seven Star City!"

The young general beside Xu Ping had sharp eyes and could see clearly that he had attacked White Horse City with Luo Ming before and recognized the military uniform of the Yasukuni Army.

"Yasukuni Army? The name is quite arrogant, let him stop and ask what's the matter? ”

Xu Ping knew that the soldiers of the Yasukuni Army who were galloping quickly in front of him must have come to deliver the message, and it was the so-called war between the two countries. Xu Ping naturally wouldn't kill the comer, but he wanted to hear what the other party's generals wanted to say.

"Stop!"

As he spoke, the young general sent more than a dozen cavalrymen to intercept him.

"Our Miss Mu asked me to pass the word, saying that we were asking your army to go to Niutou Mountain for a duel. And our Miss Mu said, please don't worry about your army, there is no ambush in Niutou Mountain, and please don't worry about your general. ”

The cavalry of the Yasukuni Army said loudly, his gaze swept over the army of the Southern Chu State. It was found that the number of enemy troops was not very large, and there were a large number of civilians mixed in with them, obviously from the famous families in the two cities of Tianshui City.

The army of the Southern Chu State is composed of cavalry, and they are all cavalry archers, armed with strong bows and crossbows, not only can fight but also run, it seems that they are fully prepared.

"Niutou Mountain? Who of you knows this place? Go ask a local. ”

Xu Ping didn't know much about the environment around Seven Star City, and when they attacked Seven Star City at the beginning, they only used a few thousand people. Moreover, Seven Star City is a city with no strategic value, so the generals of the Southern Chu State actually don't know much about the geographical environment around Seven Star City.

"General, I know, I know."

The elder of a certain family in Tianshui City stood up tremblingly and said, but what was surprising was that this old man seemed to be in his last years, and the day was precarious. But it was on a horse, and it was steady.

"Tell me."

Xu Ping glanced at the old man, and then asked.

"Niutou Mountain is a small hill near Seven Star City, not very steep, as the messenger said, not suitable for ambushes."

The old man coughed twice, then said with a smile.

"So that's it, tell the people who came, and we'll get there, and let their men wash themselves and prepare to die."

Xu Ping smiled coldly, since the enemy was ready for a duel, he didn't talk nonsense. Thinking of the thirty good players he carried, Xu Ping felt that he had won the game.

After sending the messenger away, Xu Ping continued to lead the people forward. Because he knew the destination, Xu Ping saved a lot of distance.

When he arrived at Niutou Mountain, Xu Ping looked at the lively Niutou Mountain, and the people who came and went were happy and seemed to be very happy, which was not at all like the atmosphere that should be in the war.

Especially when the army of the Southern Chu State arrived in An, the people were not panicked, and even looked at the army of the Southern Chu State very curiously, pointing and pointing, without worrying at all.

"What are these people up to?"

Xu Ping felt that his brain was about to turn around, and these people in front of him looked like they were rushing to the market, especially these people were not afraid at all, which was Xu Ping's biggest suspicion.

"It's Xu Ping, General Xu?"

Just when Xu Ping's mind was confused, a young Yasukuni Army general rushed over on horseback. Even the guards around him didn't notice where this guy rushed out, and the guards around Xu Ping were so shocked that they picked up the strong crossbows hanging from the saddle and aimed them at the comer, for fear that this person would suddenly attack.

"It's under the ...... Who are you? ”

Xu Ping stopped the actions of his subordinates in time, if he shot the incoming people, I am afraid that most of them would not be able to leave here.

"I'm just an unknown young general under Miss Mu, General Xu Ping, please, we have set up the venue, just waiting for you."

The person who came was none other than Du Xiongfei. And Du Xiongfei looked at Xu Ping, who was completely in a circle, and his heart was happy, that is, to disrupt the enemy's deployment and make the enemy's stable mentality chaotic.

Sure enough, Xu Ping was completely led by the nose and left. Dismounted, with dozens of guards, followed Du Xiongfei to the seats set for them.

And Xu Ping took a closer look, the entire Niutou Mountain looked like a gladiatorial arena, surrounded by spectators, and the gladiators were fighting in the arena.

Opposite Xu Ping was the Yasukuni Army and the people of Seven Star City, and on Xu Ping's side were the soldiers of the Southern Chu State of Tianshui City, as well as the members of the big family of Tianshui City. Together with the thousands of soldiers carried by both sides, the total audience was probably more than 5,000 people.

"The reason why I invited everyone here today is because General Luo Ming of Chu State and Miss Mu of our Yasukuni Army are kind-hearted, and they are afraid that their soldiers will suffer heavy casualties because of the battle, so they decided to use the ancient and traditional way to solve the problem by duel. Each side selects dozens of powerful cultivators to have a fair duel, and the winner can decide the ownership of the opponent's city, of course. Our Seven Star City is a dilapidated small city, Tianshui City is a big city with many strong people, and the two sides are disproportionate, that is to say, if this is a competition, it is unfair to the Chu army, so we decided that if the Yasukuni Army loses, we will give the Seven Star City to others, but if the Southern Chu State loses, it is necessary to provide a thousand cavalry preparations, and it just so happens that General Xu Ping brought a thousand cavalry, and the equipment and horses they carried just met our requirements. ”

Du Xiongfei stood in the middle of the field, looking at the thousand cavalry led by Xu Ping with a light in his eyes, these cavalry were well equipped. Even now that Du Xiongfei has received funding from the Shen family, he does not have such good equipment, so the equipment of this thousand cavalry makes him very greedy.

Xu Ping listened to the cloud and mountain fog cover, but he basically understood. Thinking about it in my heart, the equipment of Seven Star City and a thousand cavalry is quite equal. There was no objection, and I continued to listen.

"I believe that everyone present hopes to see a wonderful duel, I won't talk nonsense, I hope that the villagers and elders present and the elders of various famous families can give evidence to both sides, and now we invite our Miss Mu and General Xu Ping to speak!"

Du Xiongfei then handed over the right to speak to Mu Youchen and Xu Ping, and then slowly withdrew by himself. After Du Xiongfei left, he immediately sent people to infiltrate the army of the Southern Chu State, these people were all ordinary people dressed as soldiers of the Yasukuni Army, serving tea and water, fruits and cakes.

The purpose of this practice was to paralyze the enemy and at the same time to demoralize the people of the Southern Chu Kingdom.

As the saying goes, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion.

Du Xiongfei knew that the army of the Southern Chu State had just arrived, and it was the time when the morale was strong and he wanted to make a contribution and make a name for himself. And Du Xiongfei and Mu Youchen delayed time so that the morale of the Southern Chu State army could be weakened, so that they could defeat the enemy in the next battle.
