Chapter 15: Confrontation between the Towers

Ye Ting and Du Zimo outside the city obviously understood that there was an ambush in the city, and wanted to rush forward to open the city gate to save their compatriots, but Xu Mengmeng focused his troops on the city tower, and kept shooting arrows, throwing stones and even pouring pepper water on the Western Chu army that was approaching, making it difficult for them to approach for a while, and at this time, there were no thermal weapons such as grenades and cannons, but in a few breaths, the cavalry in the city was completely wiped out.

Xu Mengmeng took Lin Chi's head from Yinyue's hand and threw it at the man riding a horse in front of Xichu, and suddenly both sides stopped tacitly.

"Sergeant of Western Chu, my subjects of the Eastern Jin Dynasty regard Er and others as fellow brothers, and now you and others are blatantly treacherous, and they plundered my money and grain in the Eastern Jin Dynasty for their own selfishness, and even slaughtered the people of our Eastern Jin Dynasty.

If we continue to commit unrighteous acts, we will no longer take into account the century-old friendship between the two countries, and we will fight to the death! Xu Mengmeng stood in front of the team, straightened his back and roared proudly.

Although the words she said were magnificent, but in fact, her palms were full of fine sweat, and her heart was excited and nervous, she didn't expect that she would have such an aggressive side, and suddenly she admired herself a little.

"In Xia Ye Ting, dare to ask which general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty are you?"

"Listen, I'm Ning Jun!"

"Then Ning Jun, do you dare to fight with me?"

"What about Ye Ting's force?" Xu Mengmeng didn't respond, but quietly asked Chi Yu next to him.

"Much better than you!" Akabane glanced at Xu Mengmeng with disdain.

"Didn't I know he was better than me? I want to ask who is stronger than him? Xu Mengmeng rolled her eyes and said angrily.

"He can't beat me!" Chi Yu said that Xu Mengmeng pursed his lips, tsk, did the ancient people feel so good about themselves?

"Ye Ting, I'm not a general, at best, I'm a small powerless military advisor, so naturally I can't fight with you, but if you're interested, you can compete with this Qianhu beside me, what do you think?" Xu Mengmeng pointed to the silver moon on the side.

"So you're that despicable and shameless military advisor?" Before Ye Ting could speak, a young man dressed as a scribe beside him asked angrily.

"Me? Despicable and shameless? Xu Mengmeng pointed to his nose with an incredulous expression.

"Do you dare to say that it was not your idea to dig a pit and bury needles on Baishipo that day?"

"It was my idea, oh, digging a pit and burying a needle is called despicable, it is called shameless? Isn't it despicable and shameless for you to attack like this by taking advantage of people's danger? Brother Du Zimo, is this called a soldier who is not tired of cheating, do you understand? It's okay to go home and read the military book again, you know? A burst of laughter sounded behind Xu Mengmeng's words.

"You ......" Du Zimo's face turned green with anger.

"Ye Ting, just ask if you are still fighting today? If you don't fight, Lao Tzu will call the brothers home for dinner, and if you want to fight, we will accompany you at any time! Xu Mengmeng said with a smile on his face.

It didn't take long for Western Chu to collect his troops and retreat to camp a mile away from the city gate.

In fact, don't look at what Xu Mengmeng just said, if Ye Ting really listened to her words just now, she would have no choice but to send herself a cool song.

After so many battles, don't look at the archery shooting that was quite cool when intercepting the enemy army in the city tower just now, Xu Mengmeng and Wu Feng were dripping blood in distress! You must know that there are only so many bows and arrows, and after several battles, there are not many at all, and now this is almost the last batch.

Looking at the arrows on the ground under the city tower, Xu Mengmeng's eyes were so hot that he couldn't wait to send a team out to pick them up, but no, as soon as he went out to pick them up, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling the enemy that our weapons were lacking? Not only could she not pick it up on her own side, but she also had to watch the enemy pick it up, and she was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.

When I thought that there was not much food and grass left in the army, my brain was a pain. At this time, Xu Mengmeng was actually a little grateful to Chen Ming, the old horseman, if he wasn't so greedy and secretly hid so much food, the army might have run out of food a long time ago, how could he still hold on until now?

Xu Mengmeng would never do the cleaning of the battlefield herself, she was afraid that when she saw the blood and corpses all over the ground, she couldn't help but show mercy to the enemy in the next battle.

So after coming down from the city tower, she went back to the previous room directly, walking around in the closed room, thinking about the next countermeasures, and now the reason why Ye Ting and the others chose not to attack immediately was that they didn't know the actual number of our army, and second, they were worried that they would fall into an ambush in the city like Lin Chi.

But Xu Mengmeng also knew that they wouldn't wait too long, and this was exactly what Xu Mengmeng was worried about, after all, the resources that could be used in the city were almost used, and she didn't have the equipment to set up an ambush again, and even if she set up an ambush, it would not be too much of a problem to deal with five thousand others, but it would be a little impractical to deal with seventy or eighty thousand people.

Not only her, but almost all the remaining generals were anxious about this.

"Lixing, you find a way to infiltrate the enemy camp tonight to find out when they are preparing to attack, and you must focus on your own safety when you act!" Xu Meng dreamed that even if he knew that it was a dead end, he couldn't just sit back and wait, and he still had to prepare for it.

Originally, Xu Mengmeng asked Lixing to inquire about the news and come back, and then he would arrange it in advance, so as not to be caught off guard, but he didn't expect him to bring a huge surprise back to himself, and Xu Mengmeng didn't sleep all night with joy.

What happened was like this, it turned out that Lixing listened to his young lady's words, and finally took advantage of the dark when the Western Chu army was patrolling and changing guards, and before he had time to go to the enemy's main tent to investigate, he got Zhao Yubin, the most favored Nine Emperor Prince of Western Chu, who sneaked here this afternoon, and Lixing took the opportunity to bring him back.

"Great! Rongcheng was finally able to save it! Xu Mengmeng showed the first relaxed smile in so long, not only Rong Cheng could be saved, but the important thing was that with this bargaining chip, the two armies would not fight again for the time being, and he finally didn't have to endure the reluctance in his heart to kill, and he didn't have to watch his brother die anymore.

"Take a good look at this mascot, and take him to Ye Ting tomorrow to show them!" After Xu Mengmeng finished speaking, he happily went back to sleep.

Xu Mengmeng, who slept well and ate well the next morning, took the mascot to the city tower, and was not surprised to see the Western Chu army lined up neatly outside the city wall.

"General Ye, I'm really sorry, my people accidentally brought someone back last night, I saw that he looked a little like you from the Western Chu Kingdom, I don't know if you recognize him?" Xu Mengmeng leaned towards the city wall, pointed to the mascot and said lazily.

"Ning Jun, let go of the Nine Emperor Princes!" Ye Ting knew that the person already knew the identity of the Nine Emperor Princes, otherwise he would not threaten him, so he didn't plan to cover it up anymore.

"Oh, it's actually the prince of your country, so Ning Mou has to leave this talisman if he says anything! Let me let him go, yes!

As long as you guarantee that your Western Chu soldiers will immediately withdraw from the territory of my Eastern Jin Dynasty, I promise to return your little prince to you intact, of course, if you want to continue to attack my Eastern Jin Dynasty, then we have to send this little prince to the Netherworld first! "That's right, Xu Mengmeng is going to gamble on the weight of this Nine Emperor Prince sent to the door in Xichu now.
