Chapter 122: Bloody Battle and Defeat

In the early morning of the next day, as soon as Mu Sheng woke up, he began to inspect the barracks, and observed the surrounding environment, and sure enough, the stream under the mountain had been cut off.

At this time, Mu Sheng stood on the top of the mountain and observed the state of the enemy army with his generals, and the enemy army surrounded the hill where he was located and surrounded the Jin army in the innermost.

Seeing this, Mu Sheng couldn't help cursing: "Your uncle, did Captain Bendu pick up your ancestral grave or what?" Do you have to surround me here completely? ”

Yan Kun's face was serious, and he stepped forward and said: "Captain, the main force of our army is retreating along Dalong Mountain, if I receive the news and rush to the city to rescue our army, even if it is a forced march, it will take ten days, and I will have to hold on for at least ten days to get out of trouble." ”

Hearing this, Mu Sheng nodded, he knew that it would be difficult to hold on for ten days under the siege of several times the enemy army, I am afraid that even if he really succeeds in holding on, I am afraid that the probability of these thousands of soldiers and horses under his command returning alive is less than half of the time.

Mu Sheng also knew that scolding people was completely useless, and now he could only stick to it and wait for help, he was now puzzled, why did the mountain puppet have to get along with his own team? It really doesn't make sense, huh?

Common sense is that the strategic value of this small force of the Jin army is basically negligible, even if it is used to brush the performance of the Jin army, it is not worth it when the mountain puppets almost poured out?

There must be a demon after the thing is over, there must be something in this, and suddenly he figured it out, could it be that the other side knew his true identity, and he had to press him down and then use his identity as Changping Jun to blackmail the court? Mu Sheng thought about it, and this is the most likely......

Retracting his thoughts, Mu Sheng ordered to take advantage of the fact that the enemy did not come to attack the mountain at noon, and first bury the pot to make rice, so that the soldiers could have a good meal, and they could stick to the enemy if they were full of wine and food.

A few hours later, Mu Sheng saw that the enemy army was still surrounded without fighting, and he didn't know what medicine was bought in the gourd!

Until the afternoon, the mountain puppet army began to attack the mountain, and the Jin army was greeted by a rain of arrows, and seeing the fierce firepower of the Jin army, the mountain puppets retreated down the mountain again, as if this time it was just a tentative attack.

In the afternoon, the morale of the enemy army was greatly boosted, thousands of soldiers and horses holding wooden shields from the top of the mountain attacked the Jin army position from all sides, after the two sides engaged, the soldiers fought endlessly.

The two armies fought bloodily until the third pole of the sun, Mu Sheng also commanded Ruoding, and finally repelled a wave again, and then came up again, until the evening, the enemy left a corpse before retreating, Mu Sheng asked to point his own losses are not small, more than 400 casualties, at this time he was anxious, obviously the enemy army is also going all out, according to this way of fighting, he simply can't hold on to the rescue.

On the second day, the enemy raised his shield again to try to attack, and after an hour, the retreating army continued to surround the Jin army, and after a while, the enemy army in the distance seemed to be pushing several wooden carts covered with cowhides.

When the soldiers of the Jin army saw this, they didn't know what the enemy was doing. It turned out that the enemy was waiting for this moment, and these wooden carts turned out to be a light stone thrower.

Mu Sheng's heart sank, this is over, it is much more difficult to defend the mountain, at this time the enemy army under the mountain is ready, the mountain puppet army commander gave an order, Nanban ignited the fireball in the stone thrower, one after another fireball smashed on the mountain, and suddenly the Jin army position was in flames, making the Jin army team chaotic and scattered.

The mountain puppet army took this opportunity to sound drums and trumpets in unison, and waved the army to attack the mountain, and the Jin soldiers were also very brave, constantly cutting down the barbarian soldiers who rushed up in formation, and the enemy army almost regardless of the cost, took turns to attack the Jin army's position.

Seeing that they were outnumbered, the Jin soldiers fell in front of the battle one after another, and Mu Sheng, as the main general, was anxious, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only support it now.

At this moment, the Nanban monk who had encountered in Lingxi before appeared again, but now she was left alone, the spear warrior.

The spear warriors took the lead, and in a few breaths, they rushed to the Jin army's position with a team of personal guards, they came at just the right time, their own monk Hua Zilan had already fought for a day and had almost consumed his spiritual power, although he was tired, he had to rush forward to fight against him.

As the commander of the whole army, Mu Sheng is not good at stepping forward at this critical moment.

An hour later, the two sides fought until the afternoon, and finally under the repeated impact of the barbarians who were not afraid of death, the Jin army was crushed.

Mu Sheng ordered: "The reserve team is on top." ”

He hurriedly commanded his soldiers to form a second line of defense, but the barbarians kept attacking the Jin army's front like crazy.

The Southern Barbarian Spear Warrior stood in front of the formation, seeing that there was hope of breaking the formation, she shouted an incomprehensible barbarian language, and then led hundreds of elite soldiers to attack again, especially the spear warrior's combat power was amazing, Hua Zilan stepped forward to fight against it, and could only barely support it, Mu Sheng saw that Hua Zilan's resistance was in danger, and he was afraid that she would not pay attention, so she fell on the spot, so he had to call her back to the camp, and his strongest combat power could not be easily damaged.

Just when the Jin army was struggling to support, the enemy army under the mountain suddenly withdrew the troops, and the soldiers of the Southern Barbarian warriors retreated like a tide, Mu Sheng saw this, breathed a sigh of relief, and finally held on until the Southern Barbarians retreated, he found that the mountain puppets of the Southern Barbarians were not the same as the former tribes, and the soldiers' will to fight, and the degree of not being afraid of death, was still excessive.

He glanced back at the battalion sergeants, many of them could not stand up, and some had died on the spot, he lamented in his heart, in such a fight, it would definitely not last for ten days, after a short truce, the two armies tacitly collected the bodies of their comrades and cleaned the battlefield.

At this time, the shouts of the soldiers of the Jin army shook the sky, Mu Sheng turned his head to look, and his heart was overjoyed, it turned out that this was the reason for the retreat of the Nanban?

At this time, Mash City finally found out that something was wrong here, or it had already been discovered, and it was only now that he was willing to send reinforcements to help Mu Sheng's department, and the Mash City reinforcements waved their flags, but they did not dare to come forward to attack the mountain puppet army.

Mu Sheng and the generals stepped forward to take a look, their hearts sank, the army that came to the reinforcements of the Mash City was only 3,000 people, and it was impossible to reverse the situation at all, and the mountain puppet army also reacted quickly, directly sending elite rattan armor soldiers to attack the invading enemy, and before the Jin army could react, the result was that the Mash City reinforcements were almost immediately defeated, and they were soon defeated and retreated, and the mountain puppet army did not pursue, and the Hui army continued to besiege Mu Sheng, the lone army.

Seeing this, the morale of the whole army was low, Mu Sheng had no choice but to appease the soldiers, boost morale, and wait for reinforcements, he knew in his heart that only the elite corps under Lu Sheng's command came here to save them, with these rear third-line troops, there was more than enough to defend the city, and if they wanted to defeat the 60,000 elites of the mountain puppets, don't think about it, they can go out of the city to meet the attack, even if it is very face-saving.

In the early morning of the fourth day, as soon as Mu Sheng woke up, he heard the sound of drums and trumpets in the barracks, and the military marquis Yan Kun had already commanded the soldiers to line up to meet the enemy.

When the enemy came up, more than a dozen fireballs from the stone thrower smashed in front of the Jin army, but the enemy soldiers did not take the opportunity to cover up and kill.

At this time, there was a burly Southern Barbarian warrior wearing a strange wolf head hat in front of the Southern Barbarian Army, and he rode a white-haired giant wolf wearing iron armor under his crotch.

The giant wolf stood in front of the Jin army and roared to the sky, a wolf roared, and countless wild wolves appeared behind the mountain puppet army array, and the giant wolf roared, and tens of thousands of wolves jumped on the mountain in a few flashes, and these four-legged beasts were more flexible and faster than two-legged people.

The Jin army's arrow rain didn't have time to shoot the second round, and the thousands of wolves had already pounced in front of the Jin army, and the soldiers in the military position showed fear on their faces.

When Mu Sheng saw this situation, he knew that it was going to be bad, so he immediately rushed to the front of the battle and raised his arms and shouted: "Sons, it's just a group of beasts, there's nothing to be afraid of, rush up with me and slaughter this group of beasts, there is meat to eat!" ”

After that, Mu Sheng was the first to rush up and saw that the wolf was slashed with a sword, and all the soldiers were also inspired by it, and they all roared angrily and rushed forward to fight with the wolves.

At this time, the Nanban warrior riding the giant wolf at the foot of the mountain also moved, only to see him draw the long knife behind his back, and the giant wolf rushed to the Jin army's position in a few jumps, and slapped more than a dozen heavy armored infantry down the mountain with a claw swing, and the Jin army was so frightened by this fierce beast that they retreated again and again.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Mu Sheng beckoned Hua Zilan, and the two of them rushed forward with their own guards to stop the giant wolf from attacking, only to see that the iron-armored giant wolf slapped him and his own soldiers more than ten meters away with one palm, and after landing on the ground, Mu Sheng's throat spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his brain was clouded, and he lost consciousness.

It wasn't until he came to his senses again that he saw Hua Zilan, Yan Kun, Feng Wei, and all the soldiers all around him looking at him with concern.

Mu Sheng hurriedly said, "How is it?" Has the enemy retreated? ”

At this moment, Yan Kun's face was bloody, and his tone trembled and said: "Captain, please rest assured, for some reason, after the Nanban broke our military formation, seeing that our army was about to be wiped out, Ming Jin withdrew his troops and left, and also sent a messenger to persuade us to surrender, I don't dare to call the shots, just wait for you to come to your senses, and make a decision." ”

Mu Sheng hurriedly said: "Help me up, I want to meet the messenger for a while." ”

Hua Zilan and Yan Kun supported him left and right to stand up and pass by their own military formation, Mu Sheng glanced at the Jin army's position, how could it be a tragic word, there were corpses of people and wolves everywhere, and some sergeants were bitten through their throats but still maintained a fighting posture, stabbing a wolf to death with a spear.

When all the soldiers saw Mu Sheng coming, they all took the initiative to get out of the way, he glanced at the soldiers of the whole army, and the bloody battle was really the end of the crossbow in this field, and this wolf attack suffered the heaviest losses, and half of his own people could no longer stand up.

If the Nanban is taking advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, their men and horses will definitely end up in the annihilation of the whole army, but fortunately, the other party has sent an envoy, and there may be room for reversal.

When everyone came to the front of the battle, the Southern Barbarian Envoy was indeed the spear barbarian warrior who had fought before, but he was still wearing that strange mask.

When the messenger saw Mu Sheng coming, he stepped forward and saluted: "I have seen the general, the general is brave, and he regards death as home, although I am a mountain puppet, I also admire heroes like the general." ”

Mu Sheng heard her voice as pleasant as a yellow sparrow, and said in his heart, such a difficult opponent turned out to be a girl?

Mu Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "The envoy doesn't have to say these polite words, you don't have to mention any conditions." ”

The spearman said, "Good! The general is happy, let me introduce myself first, I am the Supreme Heavenly Venerable of the Mountain Puppet Clan, one of the three protectors under the command of the Immortal Emperor, Master Mu Yinaqi, dare to ask what the general is called? ”

When Mu Sheng heard this, he was stunned in his heart, now Nanban still doesn't know who I am? Before I speculated, they might know that he was a royal clan, and the idea of using his identity to blackmail the imperial court was completely overturned.

Mu Sheng complained in his heart, could it be that he arrested me to go up the mountain to be my son-in-law? It's unbelievable......

Mu Sheng retracted his thoughts, and had no choice but to say quietly: "My surname is Mu, and the single word is Sheng, and he is the captain of the Jin army." ”

Mu Yinaqi raised his forehead slightly and said: "Captain Mudu, the conditions of our army are very simple, make your subordinates lay down their arms and surrender unconditionally, Captain Mu Du is a hostage of our army, and he can spare his life." ”

Mu Sheng sneered and said, "You said let's lay down our weapons, do I really have to lay down my weapons?" If your army were to go into battle while we had laid down our swords, would we all be lambs to the slaughter? ”

Mu Yinaqi smiled through the mask and said, "It seems that Mu Duwei still can't trust me?" You can rest assured! We mountain puppets are not as cunning and changeable as you Central Plains people, and we treat faith and righteousness as nothing, we do what we say, as long as you surrender, we will definitely let your army live. ”

"Besides, your army is now like this, can it still be worthy of a war? If we don't agree, our army will attack the mountain immediately, and it will only be an overnight moment when the whole army is gone, and we will only spend a little effort, but the captain must think about it, this is the only way for your army to survive. ”

Mu Sheng looked at the dense army of mountain puppets behind her, and there were terrible wolves, and sighed secretly, he knew that she was right, with his current state, I am afraid that he will not be able to last even an hour, and the battle is only to increase casualties.

Mu Sheng arched his hand and said: "General Naqi, we can put down our weapons and surrender, and these heavy weapons can also be left to you, but we have to go home, go back to Morocheng, and the brothers I brought out must be brought back with a lot, this is my bottom line." ”

Mu Yinaqi bowed his head and said, "Okay! I promise you that I can ensure that your men and horses return home safely, but Duwei must go with us to Yucheng to meet my mountain puppet Supreme Heavenly Venerable, the Immortal Emperor, otherwise everything will not be discussed. ”

Mu Sheng pondered for a while and said, "Okay! Deal. ”

At this time, Yan Kun shouted sharply: "The demon girl doesn't want to detain my family's captain, it's a big deal that my brothers and I will live and die together with the captain, and after twenty years, we will be a good man again." ”

Yan Kun turned his head and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers, my Jin army has always only had loyal souls who died in battle, and you have to sacrifice yourself to join the army, only to die in battle, brothers, the captain treats you well on weekdays, and today we will never agree to them to detain my captain, don't you say?" ”

The officers and men of the army also roared in unison: "We don't agree!" We don't say yes! ”

The three armies shouted in unison, deafening and deafening.

Mu Sheng was moved when he heard this, but he knew that he couldn't fight, as long as there was a way out, he was just left alone.

Mu Sheng turned around and waved his hand to press the soldiers, and the soldiers quieted down.
