Chapter Forty-Nine: The Dragon Swims in the Shallows
"General, we are only twenty miles away from the capital of Chu State. A soldier came up to Shangguan Muchen to pray.
"Let the brothers write for a while, after an hour, attack the capital of Chu, and within three days, you must capture the capital of Chu. Shangguan Muchen wiped the sweat from his body on the side.
Ever since Shangguan Muchen and Lei Wuxian had finished meeting, he began to attack the Chu State frantically. In the face of the state of Chu, who was kind to himself and his sister, every time he ordered an attack, Shangguan Muchen's heart was extremely tormented.
But he couldn't stop, and in the face of a person who had insight into his biggest secret, Shangguan Muchen had no power to fight back. He also looked for an opportunity to kill Lei Wuxi, but he found that Lei Wuxie had mastered something that ordinary people could not have.
Lei Wuqian claims to be an apostle of God, and now the war is raging in the Yang Yu Continent, because of the God's assessment of the divine envoys, only one of the four divine envoys will survive, and they rule the Yang Yu Continent and continue to preach the will of the gods.
Shangguan Muchen observed that Lei Wuxian had never eaten anything, but he was still in good spirits, and this old man was even better than Shangguan Muchen's own health.
Moreover, what made Shangguan Muchen even happier was that Lei Wuxuan had cured the scars on Shangguan Qing's body. When he was a child, on the way to the Chu State when the Shangguan brothers and sisters fled, Shangguan Qing left an extremely ugly scar on his back. Although Shangguan Qing has always said that the scar can make her remember the experience of fleeing, she likes this scar very much.
But Shangguan Muchen knew that this was Shangguan Qing comforting himself, he had inadvertently seen Shangguan Qing touching his scar and crying in a low voice, since then, Shangguan Muchen has been looking for medicine that can heal that scar, but has never found it.
After learning that Shangguan Muchen raised an army to attack the Chu State, Shangguan Qing immediately came to inquire in person, Lei Wuyu personally explained the reason, and then he told Shangguan Qing that he could also heal the scar on Shangguan Qing's back.
Prior to this, no one except Shangguan Muchen had ever known about the scars on Shangguan Qing's body, and Shangguan Qing was surprised and begged Lei Wuyi to treat himself. As a result, it only took a stick of incense for a while, and Lei Wuxian cured Shangguan Qing's scar.
Under the circumstance that Lei Wuyu was gracious and powerful, the Shangguan brothers and sisters completely compromised with Lei Wuxi, and even began to have the Spring and Autumn Dream of being the emperor, because Lei Wuyu told them that the divine envoy would not covet the position of mortal mortals.
After that, the Shangguan Muchen brothers and sisters launched a frantic attack on the Chu State, and at the same time, the mysterious troops near the Yiyang Port of the Chu State also launched an attack on the Water Dragon Soldiers. It was under such circumstances that Yumo received a letter from Feng Mo: If you want to solve the crisis of the Chu State, you can retreat first, work together to destroy Mo Ke, and after Mo Ke is destroyed, you can fight with the fierce left and right to retake the Chu State.
After receiving the letter, Yumo thought about it for a while, and then accepted Feng Mo's proposal. Taking advantage of the temporary recuperation of the mysterious troops in Yiyang Port, Yumo immediately led most of the water dragon soldiers to Zhufeng Pass, and the rest of the water dragon soldiers, some of them secretly escorted the lord of Chu to escape to the imperial capital, and the other part was divided into various cities to delay the attack of Zhao.
The water dragon soldiers who stayed in Chu State completed Yumo's task perfectly, and they delayed Zhao State for nearly a month, but they still did not wait for reinforcements. Li Hao, the general of the water dragon army, ordered: Defend the capital of Chu for another day today, if the reinforcements have not yet arrived, they will be scattered in the city according to General Yumo's request, and when General Yumo returns to Chu, the inside and outside should be combined to annihilate the enemy army in one fell swoop!
Shangguan Muchen launched a charge with soldiers and horses, although the Zhao light cavalry was not as brave and good at fighting as the water dragon soldiers, but the advantage in numbers still made the water dragon soldiers retreat step by step, and soon, the water dragon soldiers could only rely on the city wall of the national capital to stalemate with the Zhao light cavalry.
Shangguan Muchen rode a horse to the city wall, his emotions were very excited, and soon the state of Chu was about to be captured by the state of Zhao, which he never dared to think. Shangguan Muchen adjusted his mood slightly, "What about Yumo? What about the first general of your Chu State? You have been beaten like this, and you still haven't come out? If you want me to see, don't call you water dragon soldiers, call them water turtle soldiers." ”
"Bastard, you're taking advantage of others. In the past, the state of Chu was kind to you, but you were ungrateful, invaded our land, and hurt my people!" Li Hao glared at Shangguan Muchen on the city wall.
"This time, that time. In this world, it is very difficult to survive, and who remembers to repay the favor? I did this just to keep myself alive. Shangguan Muchen's words carried obvious sarcasm.
"General, take us out. A soldier stood in front of Li Hao.
"Yes, General, take us out. General Yumo is our benefactor, and the Water Dragon Soldier is our home. I can't stand him insulting us like that. ”
"Yes, General. General Yumo is so powerful, he doesn't need us when he comes back, and he will definitely be able to recapture the territory of Chu State, let us kill it, and let him know that the water dragon soldiers of Chu State are definitely not something he can look down on. ”
......
Looking at a soldier asking for his life, Li Hao's heart was very entangled. He didn't want to rush out to see the soldiers and horses of Zhao State, but he couldn't forget Yumo's instructions to him before leaving.
In the past, Li Hao was just an orphan living on the streets. One day, a soldier saw him and teased Li Hao on the street. As a result, the soldier was beaten by Li Hao. That night, Li Hao met the soldier again on the street, and he was followed by several soldiers.
"Brothers, this is this kid, give me a beating!" the soldiers waved their hands, and several people swarmed up.
Li Hao didn't run away, raised his fist and rushed towards several people. But the two fists were finally invincible to the four hands, and soon, Li Hao was knocked to the ground, and several soldiers began to kick Li Hao's body frantically, and at this time, Yumo appeared.
"What are you guys doing?"
"Shut you ......down," one of the soldiers just wanted to scold, but when he looked back, his face immediately changed, "General Yu, we are dealing with some personal grievances." ”
"Such a young child, what grievances do you have?" Yumo slowly walked in front of Li Hao and pulled Li Hao up.
"General, be careful, this kid is very fierce. ”
"Disappear from my eyes before I plan to take you to meet your general!"
Several soldiers heard Yumo's words and had to leave in a huff.
"Don't you think I'm dirty?" Li Hao watched Yumo pull his clothes.
"It's a little dirty. Yumo smiled, Li Hao saw that this smile was very warm, and there was no mockery, "I'll take you to buy a few new clothes." ”
"Why bother with me?"
"As a general, I should protect the country and protect the people, which is my duty. ”
"But a lot of soldiers bully the people. Li Hao thought of the soldiers who bullied the people, and his heart began to be angry.
"Not in the future, I assure you. Yumo looked at Li Hao with a very solemn expression.
Since then, there have been fewer and fewer soldiers in the Chu State who oppress the people, the soldiers help the people, the people trust the soldiers, and the strength of the entire Chu State has become stronger and stronger, and it has gradually become the leader in the west of the Yang Yu Continent. And Li Hao also knew from that time that the person who made a promise to himself was called Yumo.
Li Hao began to aspire to join the army, and he only participated in the water dragon soldiers of Yumo. He used to be a general of other troops in the Chu State, but when he learned that the water dragon soldiers needed new soldiers, he immediately gave up his position as a general and became an ordinary water dragon soldier. After nearly ten years of hard work, he finally became Yumo's most powerful assistant, and before leaving, when Yumo assigned the task, he directly took the initiative to ask to stay and protect the Chu State.
Li Hao is angrier than anyone else, in his opinion, without Yumo, there would be no self today, but even more because of Yumo, he must not attack now.
"General!"
"General!"
......
The soldiers continued to plead, and the shouting and scolding outside the city continued to reach Li Hao's ears, and she stood up sharply and walked in front of the soldiers.
"Soldiers!, our water dragon soldiers, are they the best!"
"Yes!"
"What should we do in the face of their insults!"
"Call back!"
"Well, you're all real water dragons. But for the sake of General Yumo's plan, we can't attack them all. I have a plan, let's split into two teams. The first team attacked with me and cut down Shangguan Muchen's troops. The other team waited for the general, and the inside and outside should be combined. Now, please divide you into two teams, the left and right, and after you have divided, I will tell you which team will go out of the city with me to meet the enemy. ”
The water dragon soldiers quickly moved, divided into two groups, the left and right, and the number of people was almost identical.
Li Hao changed the team on the left, and the soldiers on the left immediately cheered, while the soldiers on the right were in a depressed mood one by one. Li Hao slowly walked to the front of the soldier on the right, and gently touched the soldier's shoulder, "Brothers, don't be depressed, General Yumo still needs you, you must wait with peace of mind!"
Li Hao led the soldiers out of the city, but the momentum of the 3,000-strong troops made the Zhao light cavalry fearful. Li Hao glanced at the soldiers around him, and the corners of his mouth raised, "It's really a group of wine bags and rice bags, brothers, kill!"
The water dragon soldiers immediately rushed towards the Zhao light cavalry, and the Zhao light cavalry had an advantage in numbers and equipment. But when they looked at the water dragon soldiers who rushed over, many of the Zhao light cavalry began to retreat.
Shangguan Muchen saw that his troops had the intention of retreating, and immediately shouted, "Kill a soldier of the Chu State and reward ten taels of gold." ”
Hearing Shangguan Muchen's words, the soldiers of Zhao State immediately launched a charge, and the two armies met and began to fight. The water dragon soldiers faced the light cavalry of the Zhao clan, first cutting the horses and then the people. The number of Zhao soldiers is constantly decreasing, but for the water dragon soldiers, this is far from enough.
Whoever insults the water dragon soldiers must die! The water dragon soldiers' attacks are like the waves of the sea, leaving behind a lot of corpses with each rush.
One by one, the water dragon soldiers fell, but no one stopped, they were not afraid of death, today, they just want to tell the world that the water dragon soldiers are the dragons in the west of the Yang Yu Continent, even if the dragon swims in the shallows, they will not be slaughtered!
