Chapter 519: Calling the Formation to Attack the Heart
When Mu Xiayan came to a distance of four or five miles from the ancestral tomb of Emperor Yu with all the troops that Jinling City could mobilize, he saw the flames and smoke all over the mountain.
Suddenly, everyone was completely dumbfounded.
At this time, their hearts were already cold, and they originally thought that according to their speed, they should be able to stop them before the grassland army completely destroyed the underground palace of Emperor Taizu's mausoleum.
But what caught my eye was a fire all over the mountain, which doesn't mean that these grassland barbarians have completely destroyed the imperial tomb.
"These damn steppe barbarians, I don't share the sky with you!"
Mu Xiayan, who was riding on a war horse, felt as if a stone had been blocked in his chest, and he felt that he was struggling to even breathe.
Even at this point he felt his brain start to feel dizzy.
At this time, Shi Wensheng suddenly found that Mu Xiayan's body was a little shaky, and he immediately stepped forward to support the other party.
"Lord Sizheng, don't worry, I saw that the area where the mountain fire burned was so large, it must not have been ignited by these grassland barbarians just now."
Shi Wensheng was not so angry that he completely lost his mind because he saw the mountain fire.
He only took a brief look at the area of the mountain fire and made a reasonable guess.
"That's probably the people sent by the steppe barbarians before!"
Zheng Yu stepped forward at this time and said.
"It's unlikely!"
Shi Wensheng shook his head firmly and said.
"How are you so sure?"
At this time, everyone showed doubts.
"It's very simple, the reason why the grassland barbarians want to blow up the entrance of the underground palace this time should be to destroy my dragon vein, if they have succeeded, then why bother to set a fire?"
Shi Wensheng explained to everyone.
"Or maybe they're planning to provoke us and lure us to the Imperial Tomb before launching a full-scale assault on us?"
Zheng Shaodong didn't care at all about whether Emperor Yu's ancestral tomb was destroyed or not.
Compared with Qin Shaojie, he still has some respect for Emperor Shengheng, and Zheng Shaodong, who is also his grandson, has no family affection for Emperor Shengheng.
The reason why this is so is entirely because, in Zheng Shaodong's view, Emperor Shengheng is just a mountain for him to rely on, and it is just a boost that he can use to achieve his career.
If the Dayu Dynasty was finally completely destroyed, then he would not have the slightest nostalgia.
He even secretly rejoiced in his heart.
Because it meant that he and his father had the opportunity to achieve great things.
After all, no matter how the Dayu Dynasty inherits, as the son of a princess, a person with a foreign surname will never have the opportunity to watch the throne no matter what.
Even if it was his own uncle who came to power in the future, it would not help.
After all, the people of the royal family are naturally cold-tempered, and it is impossible to seek greater benefits through their mother's identity.
So he didn't care at all about whether Emperor Taizu's underground palace was blown up.
"It's possible, but it's not a big possibility!"
Shi Wensheng still said in a firm tone.
"How can you be so sure?"
Although Zheng Shaodong had previously assigned some of the soldiers of the Tiger Battalion to him to command, Shi Wensheng was very angry that he had taken back his command of the Tiger Battalion and the soldiers of the Tiger Battalion and the Tiger and Leopard Battalion due to his pursuit and killing of Li Yi and others.
This made the narrow-minded Zheng Shaodong hold a grudge.
Even if this right was originally given to him by Shi Wensheng.
But since ancient times, there has been a saying among the people that Shengmi is fighting against Mi, and now Zheng Shaodong has taken this command for granted.
And Shi Wensheng, who was deprived of this right, immediately became his enemy.
"You said that if we have all determined that the ancestral tomb of Emperor Yu was completely destroyed by those grassland barbarians, would you still be in a hurry to fight the grassland barbarians?"
Shi Wensheng also knew that Zheng Shaodong was dissatisfied with him.
But he didn't care about it.
"Lord Shi is right, if the grassland barbarians have really broken through the dungeon, they should pretend that they haven't succeeded, so that they can lure us to go up directly and fight with them, and they don't need to set fire to them at all."
At this time, Mu Xiayan finally restrained his emotions, and his brain began to work at a high speed.
"In that case, does it mean that Taizu's underground palace has not been broken so far?"
The old Jin King couldn't help but light up when he heard this.
"There is a high probability that this is indeed the case, and it seems to me that this mountain fire was probably set by the old Huainan King."
Shi Wensheng spoke again at this time.
His words immediately surprised everyone around him.
"How dare they be so bold, don't they know that setting fire to the trees around the Imperial Tomb is a heinous crime?"
Mu Qiuye couldn't help but stand up when he heard this, and then reprimanded loudly.
Zheng Shaodong couldn't help but sneer when he heard this.
In his opinion, this successor of Zongzheng Temple is simply naΓ―ve.
"When is it now, still care about a few trees, if this matter is really done by the old King Huainan, I will definitely admire him from the bottom of my heart."
"Qin Shaodong actually ignored the decree of the Great Yu Dynasty so much! What a sacred place the ancestral tomb of Emperor Yu is, how can people wantonly destroy it! β
Mu Qiuye saw that Zheng Shaodong dared to refute himself, and he couldn't help but scold angrily.
In Mu Qiuye's opinion, this Zheng Shaodong is just an outsider, if he is not the son of Princess Chengping, he will definitely cut Heze with a sword.
"My name is Zheng Shaodong, it's not Qin Shaodong, besides, if it weren't for this mountain fire, those grassland barbarians would have already entered the imperial tomb, how could there be a chance for you to be proud here?"
Since Zheng Shaodong knew that he was Zheng Yu's son, he was extremely resistant to the name Qin Shaodong.
And some time ago, after his mother, Princess Chengping, took the initiative to break with the Qin family, he didn't allow others to call him Qin Shaodong anymore.
Therefore, in his opinion, Mu Qiuye was deliberately provoking him by calling him Qin Shaodong now.
"I don't care if you are Qin Shaodong or Zheng Shaodong! No matter who you are, you can't destroy the ancestral tomb of Emperor Yu, this is the bottom line that cannot be touched! β
Mu Qiuye said with an angry face at this time.
In his opinion, whether it is the old Huainan King or Zheng Shaodong, they should all follow the orders of Zongzheng Temple.
"Okay Akiba, now is not the time to worry about this!"
Seeing that Mu Qiuye was so strong, Mu Xiayan couldn't help frowning, and then stopped sharply.
"Uncle Xia Yan, they are destroying the ancestral tomb of Emperor Yu so much, which is clearly contempt for the imperial power and the authority of our Zongzheng Temple, this kind of behavior must be strictly eradicated!"
Mu Qiuye didn't shut up because of this, he said to Mu Xiayan with an angry face.
"Shut up! It's the temple of Soshoji Temple, and it's not your turn to speak here! β
Mu Xiayan saw that Mu Qiuye still didn't know what to do, and he immediately scolded angrily.
Mu Qiuye didn't expect Mu Xiayan to speak to himself like this.
You must know that he is the successor of the next Sizheng, and it stands to reason that at this time, Mu Xiayan, the Sizheng of Zongzheng Temple, should establish his majesty.
Only by constantly establishing his majesty in front of these vassal kings and Qingjia soldiers can he smoothly take over the entire Zongzheng Temple in the future.
But now Mu Xiayan is losing his face in front of everyone, which can't help but make Mu Qiuye feel very aggrieved.
However, Mu Qiuye didn't dare to resist Mu Xiayan's scolding, he could only hold back his anger and lower his head.
"Lord Shi, since you said that this fire may have been set by Mu Zhantu, he explained that he didn't want the grassland army to enter the imperial tomb, so we still have a chance to keep the ancestral palace!"
Mu Xia Yan thought about it for a while, and immediately understood the truth.
"That's right, but although this mountain fire is very big now, it won't burn for long, once all the grass and trees around the imperial tomb are burned, the grassland barbarians will definitely send people to destroy the underground palace."
Shi Wensheng immediately said.
"In this case, we must hurry up and drive away these 20,000 steppe barbarians."
Mu Xiayan immediately nodded and agreed with Shi Wensheng's opinion.
"But Lord Sizheng, there are 20,000 cavalry on the other side, and all of us together are only about 15,000 people, and the old guy Mu Zhantu has also taken a few thousand people, and now once we fight, our side is not their opponent at all."
The old Jin King stood up at this time and said coldly.
"What's wrong? Are you planning to retreat? β
After Mu Xiayan heard the cold words of the old Jin King, he immediately turned his head and looked at him coldly.
Suddenly, the old Jin King felt that all the hairs on his back stood up.
He felt Mu Xiayan's gaze sink deep into his skin like a cold blade.
"How is that possible! In any case, I am a descendant of Emperor Taizu, how can I watch the mausoleum of my ancestors be wantonly destroyed by the grassland barbarians! β
The old Jin King immediately said with a wry smile.
"If anyone still wants to back down, they can stand up now!"
Seeing that the old Jin King had softened, Mu Xiayan turned his head and said to the others.
After everyone came into contact with Mu Xiayan's knife-like gaze, they lowered their heads one after another.
Seeing that everyone was no longer talking, Mu Xiayan shifted his gaze to the steppe cavalry in front.
Soon he came to the steppe army with all the troops of Jinling City.
After everyone had set up a battle, he rode his horse to the front of the battle.
"How dare the slaves in front of me be so bold, dare to risk the disapproval of the world to touch the power of my heaven, and those who know each other will not quickly get off the horse and die!"
As Mu Xiayan shouted, everyone around him felt that there was a sudden surge of pride in their hearts.
The original fear in their hearts was dispelled a lot.
"It seems that this old guy is the leader of this Dayu army!"
Mu Hua Li Falcon stood in the middle of the cavalry and looked at Mu Xia Yan in the distance.
"What does this old man mean?"
Wan Qi Yuele looked at Mu Xiayan with a puzzled expression, and then turned his head and asked Murong Tongwei.
"What else can you say, this old man let us jump off the horse and tie up our hands and let them kill!"
Murong Tong smiled slightly disdainfully.
"I'm afraid there's something wrong with this old man's brain! Such an idiot's idea dares to come forward! β
Wan Qi Yuele also said with disdain when he heard this.
"They are all like this, they will talk nonsense before the war!"
Mu Huali Falcon looked at the majestic Mu Xiayan in front of the battle array playfully.
"Shaman, what nonsense are you talking to them now, they just rushed here desperately, and now is when they are exhausted, as long as we attack immediately, they will definitely be defeated."
Wan Qi Yuele said excitedly at this time.
"I'm going to scare them!"
Mu Huali Falcon shook his head and said.
In his opinion, the current Dayu army is already fish on their chopping block.
Now he was completely sure that he would kill them once and for all.
So he immediately took Murong Tongwei and Wan Qi Yuele to the front of the battle formation, and faced Mu Xiayan face to face.
"Humph! The old man on the other side, what did you just say? I don't understand a word! β
When Wan Qi Yuele came to the front of the formation, he immediately shouted loudly at Mu Xiayan.
"How can you and other barbarians understand human speech!"
Before Mu Xiayan could speak, Mu Qiuye immediately stood up and said coldly.
Just now he was holding back the anger in his stomach because he was reprimanded by Mu Xiayan, and now he just took this opportunity to completely vent the anger in his heart.
"Where did you come from, is the kid weaned? You dare to run here to spread wild, and when we fight, you must be so scared that you pee your pants! β
If you talk about the war, the steppe people are more experienced than the Dayu people.
As the general of the Xianbei clan, the corpse burst light is one of the masters.
"That's right, boy, your mother told you to go home and drink milk!"
Immediately, the corpse star also laughed.
As soon as these words came out, all the steppe armies burst out laughing.
Seeing this, Mu Huali Falcon also showed a knowing smile.
"Humph! Barbarians can only use foul language, no different from animals! β
Seeing that the steppe people were mocking them like this, Mu Xia Yan immediately stood up and scolded loudly.
"Barbarians? Do you know that we so-called barbarians are guests of your emperor's place! β
Mu Hua Li Falcon said to everyone with a sneer at this time.
He knew very well that although these Dayu people in front of him seemed to be very united now, in fact, there was a deep rift between them.
Originally, he went south with an army of 20,000 this time to help Emperor Dayu eliminate some of these people.
And the other part was originally on the same side as them.
If he hadn't suddenly ordered to blow up Emperor Dayu's imperial mausoleum, I'm afraid I would have fought with them a long time ago.
And now he didn't say this to sow discord between them, he was just just trying to disgust these big people.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished saying this, everyone in Jinling City immediately fell silent.
Everyone felt a hint of humiliation.
And after seeing the reaction of these people in the Great Yu Dynasty, Mu Hua Li Falcon immediately burst out laughing wildly.
But just when he was very happy because the other party was deflated, in a forest not far from them, Li Yi and the others had already mounted their war horses, and then put on armor and were ready to attack at any time.
At this time, they did not choose to start from the location of the old Huainan King.
Because the steppe army had already discovered their hiding place, they walked some distance through the mountains and forests before choosing a suitable place to charge.
"Are you ready?"
Li Yi rode on top of the war horse, and then turned his head to ask everyone.
At this time, in addition to Ansu, Qi Chao, Mi Yiren, and the ghost doctor, there were also Mu Junhe, Huang Budo, Guo Li, Tang Minghu, and some specially selected masters of the city guard camp.
All of them together were only thirty people.
