Chapter 166: Battle

At this time, outside the border of Eastern Chu, the war intensified.

The two armies of Eastern Chu and Nanzhao faced each other, and the national strength of Eastern Chu was stronger than that of Nanzhao, but because Eastern Chu was not prepared, it barely resisted for a few days and lost a city.

Under the brave offensive of the Southern Zhao Kingdom, the second city of Eastern Chu was also trapped, and the situation was not optimistic.

Although they will not be defeated immediately, if reinforcements do not come, they will definitely be lost.

Death is a small matter, but losing the city is a big thing!

More than ten years of defense was nothing more than defending the country's borders from being invaded by foreign enemies.

Inside the tent of the East Chu camp.

"General! We, we ...... If it continues like this, it will definitely be captured by the enemy army of Nanzhao in less than one day! Thinking of the new casualty toll in the town, the adjutant couldn't help but worry and anger.

Whatever the reason, the first offensive of the Nanzhao Kingdom did not have a very good impression on the people of the two countries, but in the end, the two countries were just the same image.

Several generals of the garrison of Eastern Chu were in the camp tent to discuss countermeasures, and in the past few days, they took turns to lead, but the Southern Zhao Kingdom became more and more fierce.

The morale of several lieutenants and generals in the tent was relatively low.

The Xiying District, headed by General Gao, was attacked by Nanzhao a few days ago and burned grain and grass, and now it has to rely on General Li.

And the men and horses of several other generals were also attacked by Nanzhao and suffered heavy losses.

If it weren't for the unity of several generals, Nanzhao would have captured this city a long time ago, but it wouldn't last much time at the moment.

"In any case, we have to resist first and wait for reinforcements from Kyoto to arrive!"

A general's stiff face and sonorous words suddenly made the tent feel a little more morale.

"Let's not say anything, tomorrow if a few deflated calves from Nanzhao come to provoke again, they will be replaced by Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu is fighting this old life, and he has to fight them to the end! Otherwise, you will deceive me and no one in Dongchu!! Not to be outdone, the other muscular general said, his face full of indignation.

This group of them has been guarding the border all year round, and they have already spent their lives outside.

"What do you say about whether to fight or not, the key now is to keep the city, the people of this city are all tied to us, we are desperate and can't let Nanzhao occupy the territory and people of my Eastern Chu!" The other general said indignantly, but he was much more rational than just now.

A sentence was like a stone, weighing heavily on the hearts of several patriotic generals.

Defending the family and the country is their lifelong faith.

But the disparity in strength is also a real problem that cannot be ignored.

……

Unlike the tense atmosphere of the camp of the Eastern Chu State, the generals here in the Southern Zhao Kingdom are very unhappy drinking and eating meat.

Originally, they took the lead without guarding against Shangdong Chu, and when Dongchu was defeated and retreated in this battle, he really thought that he was crushed by his own strength, and he couldn't help but feel complacent.

However, after laying a small city in Dongchu, a celebration banquet began to be held in the barracks.

Wan Yanku, the newly promoted tiger general of the Southern Zhao Kingdom, took the lead, and a group of large and small lieutenants and soldiers began their carnival.

"General Wanyan, the small, the little ones admire you, and beat that Dongchu to the ground!" A soldier raised his glass to toast, full of compliments that made Wan Yanku really comfortable to listen to.

Wan Yanku is tall, with thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, and his armor has not yet retreated, and he is the image of a military general at a glance.

Seeing that others had been rewarded with sycophants three times, some other lieutenant soldiers couldn't help but turn on the rainbow fart mode.

"Isn't our general the god of war alive, and no one can lead troops to fight ......"

"That's not it, General Wanyan is the first person in our Nanzhao Kingdom!"

"Hahaha, that's right!"

"Follow General Wanyanku, we will not regret it for the rest of our lives!"

"You kid on the road!"

Wanyanku gave the man a thumbs up, then took another sip of wine.

"What is this, even if they come to Dongchu Muxin, this general will not be mistaken!" A group of people complimented and drank a little bit of Wanyanku, who couldn't help but start talking big.

After hearing Yan Ku's words, some people's eyes flickered, and they reacted and continued to compliment: "The general is right, Mu, what's wrong with Mu Xin!" If you come, you can take it, and you can do it! ”

Whether it was a soldier or a general, or an adjutant general, there was no one who had not heard of Mu Xin's name.

Back then, Dongchu and Nanzhao confronted each other, and it was all up to Mu Xin to turn the tide alone, and he won the six cities of Nanzhao in one fell swoop.

What kind of person do you say is the most terrible, there is no one who is both smart and not afraid of death, and finally solved it by ceding land and seeking peace from the Southern Zhao Kingdom, and got a peaceful situation.

Therefore, many people in Nanzhao Kingdom will be a little afraid when they talk about Mu Xin, not to mention the soldiers and generals who directly confronted Mu Xin back then.

Wanyanku can also be regarded as a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, probably a general of the younger generation, and he expressed his disdain for Mu Xin's well-known achievements, and said in his heart, if I get serious, there is still a city now, and there are ten.

Now he is even more proud of being praised by his subordinates.

……

On the one hand, he was nervous, staring at the pressure to protect the city, and on the other hand, he was arrogant and domineering, and his arrogance was especially strong, and the next day Wanyanku led an army of 100,000 troops to show off his might under the city.

"Dong Chu's defeated generals, why don't they dare to come out to fight!"

"Hahaha, they're scared!" One party cooperated with Yan Ku.

Above the city, some people couldn't help but be a little angry, and some of them were impatient and even wanted to go down.

The military grabbed the impulsive General Gao and said: "General, don't be rash, there are mostly some veteran remnants in the army now, but Nanzhao has an army of 100,000, we can't let the soldiers of Dongchu go out to die!" ”

General Gao couldn't help but clench his fists angrily when he heard the words of the military advisor, and finally let go tiredly.

He is impulsive and lacks strategy, but he also cherishes these generals who have followed him for half his life, they have fought together in the killing field, guarded the border, and can go back to reunite with their families tomorrow, but who knows that Nanzhao has no warning and suddenly launched a war.

"Wait! I can wait! General Gao gritted his teeth, and the tiger stared at the shouting Wanyanku, eager to drink its blood and eat its flesh.

General Gao and others tried their best to be patient, but Wanyanku was unwilling to achieve his goal and continued to provoke the generals.

"Old turtle! If you're afraid, just say it! Lao Tzu thought about giving life to your group of turtles! ”

"That's it, isn't it good to surrender early?!"

"Haha, haha......"

Nan Zhaoguo's insults became more and more deaf, and General Gao trembled with anger.

At this moment, the soldiers at the city gate reported that reinforcements had arrived.

General Gao was a little incredulous when he heard this, but fortunately, the military advisor on the side immediately reacted and hurriedly ordered: "Quick! Fast! Open the gates! Welcome reinforcements in! Just go!! ”

As soon as they heard that the reinforcements sent by the emperor had arrived, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then looked at the Nanzhao Kingdom Wanyanku and the others who were clamoring below and turned out to be much calmer than just now.

Because of the urgency of time, Mu Xin arrived in the city with 50,000 elite soldiers this time.

When General Gao saw Mu Xin, he couldn't help but be speechless with excitement, and no one in the general knew Mu Xin, the god of war.

"Mu Xin, thank you for your great kindness!" General Gao arched his hand, and the heavy meaning of his words was obvious.

Mu Xin looked at him with a straight face, and the archer returned the salute: "General Gao, thank you for your hard work." ”

When General Gao heard this, the corners of his eyes moistened for a moment, he had fought for five years and defended for fifteen years, who had sincerely told him that he had worked hard.

"Misfortune and bitterness!" General Gao said it almost with suppressed excitement.

Mu Xin nodded, the hardships of leading troops to fight and defend were only known to them.

At this time, the shouting words of Wanyanku under the city were like mudslides, and Mu Xin couldn't help frowning when he heard the insulting words similar to those 'turtles'.

General Gao naturally realized it, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and just wanted to say something, but was stopped by Mu Xin raising his hand.

Mu Xin: "Since you're here, let me meet him first!" ”

Thinking of something, General Gao couldn't help reminding: "He, they have an army of 100,000, General Mu, you ......"

Mu Xin heard General Gao's reminder, and did not show a strange expression on his face, and said lightly: "Fifty thousand, enough." ”

After speaking, Mu Xin, dressed in battle armor, entered the battlefield with his 50,000 elite soldiers.

Wan Yanku couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the unfamiliar face, but he quickly returned to his arrogant and domineering appearance just now, tried to raise his head, looked down at Mu Xin, and shouted loudly: "Who is coming?" Get your name in! ”

Mu Xin looked at Wan Yanku, who was obviously contemptuous, and said coldly: "Dongchu Mu Xin! ”

After that, he didn't wait for Yan Ku and his generals to react, and went directly to the battlefield with decisive actions.

Wan Yanku was taken aback, usually they sneak attack others, where are they so caught off guard by other people's attacks.

But soon Wan Yanku reacted, his face sank, and he immediately ordered his own people to go too.

"Kill—"

Mu Xin, yes, let you become a ghost under the knife today.

As soon as he thought that he was about to defeat the god of war of the Eastern Chu Kingdom and become famous in a battle, Wan Yanku couldn't stop his excitement.

Mu Xin held the spear and rode his horse to Wanyanku.

Wanyanku was a flash, he was almost stabbed, he panicked for a moment, realized something, hurriedly withdrew his two hearts, and fought against Mu Xin.

Mu Xin's actions were calm, but the move was to kill, Wan Yanku could still take it at first, but then he could only dodge in embarrassment, and he already had a retreat in his heart.

However, before Yan Ku surrendered and begged for mercy, Mu Xin directly stabbed him in half, and the soldiers of Nanzhao Kingdom saw that Yan Ku was killed, and realized that the dragons were leaderless.

For a while, the scene was a little chaotic.

General Gao was now above the city, and when he saw Mu Xin kill Yan Ku, he couldn't help but applaud, and the morale of the Eastern Chu Kingdom suddenly rose.

Nanzhao lost its leader, and the 100,000-strong army was as loose as mud that had been stirred.

Although Mu Xin did not lead many troops, 50,000 elite soldiers were not comparable to 100,000 ordinary soldiers, so the result was obvious, and the second batch of military horses of Nanzhao Kingdom was captured by him.

However, no one in the Eastern Chu Kingdom was relaxed because of this victory, Sister Yaoyao was at best a newly promoted little general, and in terms of strength, Nanzhao Kingdom was by no means confined to this.

Mu Xin looked at the camp where Nanzhao was stationed in Chengchi, and showed a thoughtful expression.

After a long time, he retracted his gaze, and the afterglow fell on the talisman on his waist and couldn't help but soften a little.

After chasing Liu Jingwan to the room that day......
