Chapter 521 The time of death has arrived

Qiao Diyi stayed out of the whole process. When he heard this, he got off his horse, raised Mo Yonglin's head, stuffed a pill into his mouth, took out a porcelain bottle, and shook it under Mo Yonglin's nose.

Mo Yonglin groaned and finally woke up after a while.

His eyes were full of confusion, and his whole body was still limp and weak. A pungent smell suddenly rushed into his nostrils, and he thought in a daze:

This... seems to be the smell of fire oil.

"woke up?"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded, startling Mo Yonglin, and his rationality and thoughts instantly returned.

"Qiao Diyi!"

Mo Yonglin roared and realized that his whole body was very sticky. He immediately lowered his head to look and saw that his sleeves and shoulders were already black.

"This is......"

Mo Yonglin's pupils shrank suddenly. As a major general, he knew the usefulness of fierce fire oil all too well.

But after realizing it, Mo Yonglin not only didn't have any fear in his heart, but instead raised his lips and sneered: "What? Do you want to burn me to death? Okay, I am worried that I can't die!"

During these days, he had very few sober moments, but every time he returned to his senses, he felt so remorseful that he could not bear to die.

What he fears most now is that Qiao Zhongguo will take him to the front of the two armies and threaten his father with his life.

He was so happy about his success that he was caught recklessly, and it was no pity to die. But his father was famous all his life, and he couldn't bear to use this fatal fate to make his father in trouble again.

The only regret now is that he never has the chance to tell his father that Shen Yuanbai is a traitor and that the king has taken action against the Mo family.

But dad is very resourceful and will definitely not be tricked by Shen Yuanbai and the king...

Mo Yonglin could only comfort himself in his heart.

At this time, Xiang Wenqiu spoke up. He lowered his voice and said coldly: "Mo Yonglin, have you seen the hillside on the opposite side? There are Chang Youdao and your father's soldiers standing there."

When Mo Yonglin heard this, he suddenly turned his head and looked, his eyes bursting with intense light!

Xiang Wenqiu didn't seem to notice Mo Yonglin's look and continued: "Before the two armies fought, Chang Youdao couldn't wait to ambush here. If not... let him watch you die in the sea of fire with his own eyes. , and then take this message back to Mo Qiandai."

"Your brother has lost his head. If you are burned alive tonight and lose two sons within a year, I wonder what your father's expression will be like!"

"Ha, think about the tragic situation in Wuding. Even if your entire Mo family is buried with you, it won't be enough to atone for your sins!"

When Mo Yonglin heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, he gritted his teeth at Xiang Wenqiu and cursed angrily.

But in fact, at this moment, Mo Yonglin's heart was pounding, and he felt a sense of urgency.

Because he has realized that this will be an excellent opportunity for him to pass on the information he knows to his father through the mouth of Vice General Chang!

"Thief Yong! If you die, you will die. What are you afraid of! My father is a great hero who protects the country. How can he be shaken by the cunning tricks of young people like you!"

"Just wait! One day, the Northern Army's cavalry will break through Wuding Beiding and take the entire Yong Kingdom into their hands!"

Xiang Wenqiu sneered when he heard this, "Still dreaming? It's ridiculous that Mo Qiandai has such a stupid son like you, living here in a muddle, not knowing that Mo Qiandai is already in trouble!"

Mo Yonglin's heart tightened when he heard this, and he said sharply: "What do you mean by this!"

Xiang Wenqiu no longer answered Mo Yonglin, but smiled coldly at him, then raised his hand and patted the horse's butt.

"Go, your time to die has come—"

The horse ran out carrying the weak Mo Yonglin, while Xiang Wenqiu turned around and mounted his horse, not far behind Mo Yonglin.

Xiao Qianyue looked from a distance and saw Xiang Wenqiu slowly taking down the bow and arrow behind him and staring at Mo Yonglin's back without relaxing.

"This Wenqiu performance is also flawless."

Xiao Qianyue sighed sincerely, recognizing Qiao Diyi's evaluation of Xiang Wenqiu just now.

There are actually many ways to kill Mo Yonglin, but tonight I chose burning. It happened to be just as Mo Yonglin wanted, giving him the opportunity to spread the message.

If Mo Yonglin calmed down and thought about it carefully, he might notice something strange.

But these days, Mo Yonglin was already exhausted mentally and physically, and just now Xiang Wenqiu deliberately used words to provoke him.

At such a critical moment of life and death, I'm afraid that Mo Yonglin no longer has the time to think about the dirty tricks, and will have to fall completely into their plan.

Xiao Qianyue's guess was indeed good.

At this moment, the wind was howling in his ears, and his nose was filled with the pungent smell of fire oil. Mo Yonglin felt his forehead twitching and his heart beating wildly.

Although he was so brave and fearless just now, when death really followed him, fear and unwillingness still dominated his heart.

Mo Yonglin couldn't think any more. The horse took him into the dark night. In the endless darkness, a cluster of firelight on the opposite slope pulled his thoughts back.

right! Even if he dies, he still wants to remind his father!

Nothing can happen to dad, otherwise he will die with his eyes open!

Thinking of this, Mo Yonglin licked his chapped lips, raised his head suddenly, and shouted with all his strength:

"Vice General Chang!"

The sound was carried far away by the wind.

On the opposite slope, Lieutenant General Chang saw another horse approaching and immediately ordered others to draw their bows and set arrows.

At this moment, a very familiar voice came, which made Deputy General Chang tremble!

"Major General! It's the Major General! Don't take action!"

Vice General Chang shouted in surprise, and then he was overjoyed and hurriedly led his people down the slope to greet him.

"Major General, my subordinates are here!"

Hearing Vice General Chang's voice, Mo Yonglin's face burst into intense joy. At this moment, the fear and anxiety in his heart were truly suppressed.

Very good! Very good!

Mo Yonglin raised his voice again and tried his best:

"Tell my father that Shen Yuanbai is a traitor. He has his heart set on the Yong Dynasty and wants to destroy the Northern Kingdom!"

Vice General Chang was not surprised when he heard this, because the general had already guessed this matter, and the general even wrote a letter to remind the king that Shen Yuanbai would not succeed!

He opened his mouth and was about to respond when Mo Yonglin's voice continued:

"The king wants to get rid of my Mo family. He has issued a secret decree and ordered Shen Yuanbai to kill me! Tell me to be careful and protect my family in Beijing. Make plans in advance!!!"

Mo Yonglin was hoarse and exerted so much force that his face turned red and his veins popped out.

When Vice General Chang heard this, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and his expression changed drastically.

What!

"Vice General Chang!"

Mo Yonglin didn't hear Vice General Chang's response and raised his head eagerly.

Vice General Chang came to his senses and was about to speak when he suddenly saw a cluster of fire appearing behind the Major General.

He stared carefully and saw that it was a man riding a horse, drawing a bow and setting an arrow. The tip of the arrow was wrapped in flames, and it was heading straight for the Major General!

Vice General Chang turned pale with fright, his chest convulsed, and he hurriedly shouted with a trembling voice: "Major General, be careful! There is an arrow behind you!"

Mo Yonglin was tied to the horse and could not move. He had already expected the way he would die and did not look back at this moment.

The sound of a long arrow piercing the air soon came from behind. The next moment, Mo Yonglin felt a sharp pain in his back, and then the fire spread and engulfed him all at once.

It hurts——

Mo Yonglin screamed. After the fierce fire oil was ignited, even the stones could be burned, let alone his mortal body?

The cloth strips that bound him were burned, and he fell off the horse. He was rolling on the ground in pain. He was so painful that he wished he could die immediately!

Mo Yonglin knew that he would not survive. Countless thoughts passed by him. At the last moment of his life, he clawed at the grass under his body. He was so ashamed that he uttered:

"Dad! The child is unfilial—"

The flames danced and swallowed up a life neatly. It was obviously very ruthless, but it was like a dazzling and bright flower in the wind of the wilderness.

Vice General Chang's feet suddenly gave way and he rolled forward, his head buzzing and his mouth trembling:

"Major General! Major General!"

In the distance, Xiang Wenqiu slowly put down the bow in his hand, tears streaming down his face.

That day, fire and sharp arrows killed three hundred brothers. He dreamed about it every night, and he always heard the brothers who died tragically crying out to him in pain.

At this time, watching Mo Yonglin slowly lose his voice in the fire, the pain and guilt that had been suppressed for so long finally found an outlet.

Xiang Wenqiu's lips trembled, he knew that it was not enough.

The culprit is Mo Qiandai, and the executioner is Chang Youdao. They all have to pay with blood!

Qiao Diyi never stepped forward. He looked at this scene from a distance, his face full of solemnity.

Mo Yonglin is dead and the storm is coming!

Chapter 522: Two Lost Sons

When Xiang Wenqiu turned around, Vice Commander Chang and the others rushed to the light of the fire.

Xiao Qianyue stretched her neck and saw that the Northern Army and the others had taken off their armor halfway. When they got to the fire, they immediately took off their short shirts and patted them toward the fire.

From a distance, Xiao Qianyue heard someone yelling at the top of their lungs: "Water! Go get water quickly!"

"Erlang, you also said that Mo Qiandai is smart. Is tonight... a little too deliberate?" Xiao Qianyue asked with a frown.

In order for Mo Yonglin to convey the message in place, Xiang Wenqiu waited for Mo Yonglin to finish speaking before shooting the arrow.

Qiao Diyi shook his head when he heard this. Leaving his elder brother who could rely on him, Qiao Diyi's mind became more active.

"Yue'er, this has been a conspiracy since we took Mo Yonglin into our hands."

"Mo Qiandai may react after feeling sad, but so what?"

"After all, we didn't spread rumors, and Mo Yonglin didn't lie. King Jinyu has indeed had murderous intentions towards the Mo family for a long time. The reason why he suppressed it is because the Mo family is still useful."

"If the elder brother's prediction is correct and King Jinyu has surrounded the Mo family in Kyoto, then Mo Qiandai cannot help but not believe it."

Speaking of this, Qiao Diyi's face showed a rare sigh.

"Yue'er, as long as the ruler is unknown, no matter whether he is loyal to the country or to the emperor, it is unlikely that he will end well."

"Mo Qiandai is here for this country. If he is given a chance, he will not hesitate to overthrow the Northern Court and take that position himself."

"A loyal king will be suspected in every possible way, let alone Mo Qiandai, who is armed with heavy troops and is unruly and unruly?"

At this time, Xiang Wenqiu had already approached on horseback, and Qiao Diyi immediately stopped talking.

These heart-wrenching words can only be said to my wife.

Before the horse could reach him, Xiang Wenqiu had already dismounted and knelt directly in front of Qiao Diyi.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Diyi hurriedly dismounted from his horse and went to help him. Xiang Wenqiu had already said in a trembling voice: "Master Qiao, thank you very much for following my wish. Xiang is grateful. I finally have an explanation for my brothers."

"Xiang used to live for his family and country, but now he lives as a brother. As long as Mo Qiandai and Chang Youdao can pay their debts with blood, Master Qiao will have his destiny from now on, and I will never dare to disobey him!"

Xiang Wenqiu said, bowing his head and feeling completely surrendered at this moment.

Nowadays, the royal court in the north lives a luxurious life, and the people are already living in dire straits. If they are captured by the Yong Dynasty, who knows whether it will be a disaster or a blessing?

Whether you call Xiang Wenqiu treasonous or selfish, he only knows that when his family and country are fighting against him, it is his brothers who sacrifice their lives to protect him.

If he could find a way out for his brothers, he, Xiang Wenqiu, would die afterwards, which would be regarded as atoning for his sins, and he would have the honor to go down and reunite with his brothers!

Qiao Diyi had long expected this to happen. He used his strength to lift Xiang Wenqiu up and said with a smile:

"Okay, we are all happy people, so there is no need to be like this. I got another brother tonight, which is a good thing!"

As he spoke, he cast his gaze into the distance, and then said sternly: "Tonight's plan has been completed. Since the other party has two or three thousand people, there is no need to pester him. Let's go back!"

"yes!"

Everyone behind him responded in unison.

The group turned their horses' heads and merged into the night again.

The fire was finally extinguished on the other side. Deputy General Chang looked at Mo Yonglin, who was curled up in a ball on the ground and had changed beyond recognition. He was horrified.

The Yong army in the distance has long disappeared. They came and went lightly, but they caused a stormy sea.

Vice General Chang did not dare to delay, and ordered someone to lift Mo Yonglin with a trembling voice, and hurriedly led a group of soldiers to the military camp.

————

Hand over to the main account of the city.

Ever since Lieutenant General Chang set off, Mo Qiandai had been feeling uneasy.

The old lady at home sent two letters in succession a few days ago, asking Sheng'er why he hadn't written to home these days.

Sheng'er is young and energetic, a little domineering outside, but very filial to the elders in the family. She is always the most diligent in writing family letters, and she is what my mother calls a good grandchild.

He has not replied to those two letters from home. With the delicate hearts of my mother and madam, I am afraid that I have guessed a little bit.

Now, whenever he thought about Yong Lin's life, he felt even more heartbroken. How could he finish writing after two bad news came in a row?

There was no one in the tent, and even Mo Qiandai, as hard-blooded as he was, couldn't help but cover his face and shed tears.

He was deep in grief when suddenly there was a noise outside the tent, followed by Vice General Chang's voice: "General!"

Vice General Chang left and returned within a short period of time, which made Mo Qiandai's heart skip a beat, and he hurriedly wiped his face and stood up.

At this time, Vice General Chang had already opened the curtain and entered the tent. He knelt on the ground with red eyes and cried to Mo Qiandai: "General, my subordinates are incompetent and never... never saved the young general!"

Although he had already predicted it, the moment the guess came true, Mo Qiandai still felt that his mind was blank and the world was spinning.

Seeing this, Vice General Chang hurriedly knelt forward and said sadly: "General, my condolences, subordinate... I have brought back the body of the major general."

When Mo Qiandai heard this, he trembled all over. Before Vice General Chang could finish speaking, he strode out through the curtain.

Upon seeing this, Vice General Chang hurriedly caught up and said sharply: "General, the Major General's body was damaged, but-"

However, at this moment, Mo Qiandai had already knelt down and lifted up the white cloth, revealing a body that was so black that it was unrecognizable.

Mo Qiandai's breath suddenly stagnated, and as he was grief-stricken, a trace of unrealistic extravagant hope arose in his heart.

"Vice General Chang, you...how did you know this is Yonglin?"

Vice General Chang knelt aside and turned his head sadly when he heard this. He spoke with difficulty: "General, subordinate... I saw the young general being..."

Before Vice General Chang finished speaking, Mo Qiandai felt as if his energy had been drained away. He could no longer control himself at this moment and burst into tears.

How could he not know...how could he not know that only those who were burned alive would curl up like this? He just still had illusions.

Obviously before going out, his eldest son was still in good spirits and with lively facial features, but when he came back, there was only a charred corpse left.

"Yong Lin, Yong Lin, dad is sorry for you..."

Mo Qiandai whispered, his hands almost touching the charred face, but he stopped trembling.

He couldn't bear it anymore and cried out in mourning. At this moment, he was no longer an upright general, but an old father who had lost his beloved son.

Vice General Chang had already driven away the soldiers around him. He had been following Mo Qiandai for more than twenty years. When he saw Mo Qiandai looking in agony, his eyes were also red.

Just as Vice General Chang was thinking about when to pass on Mo Yonglin's last words to Mo Qiandai, Mo Qiandai asked with a trembling voice:

"Yong Lin... did you leave any words?"

If he died alive and burned, he would definitely leave a few words behind.

After hearing this, Vice General Chang immediately told everything that happened tonight.

When he heard that King Jinyu had given a secret order to Shen Yuanbai to get rid of Mo Yonglin, Mo Qiandai suddenly raised his head, his eyes were scarlet and his eyebrows were twisted:

"What!"

Chapter 523 Eight Hundred Miles Expedited

There was candlelight in the tent, and Mo Qiandai stayed awake all night guarding Mo Yonglin's body, while Deputy General Chang stayed outside the tent, not daring to leave.

Mo Qiandai exercised restraint in the end. Except for the moment when he first saw Mo Yonglin's body, his heart collapsed and he cried out in pain, no sound could be heard in the tent at this time.

Vice General Chang was worried, vaguely feeling that this matter would not end well.

They were resisting foreign enemies here, but the king actually stabbed the general in the back, and even the sword was bloody. Even the clay figure couldn't bear it!

However, Vice General Chang thought again and realized that this was Qiao Zhongguo's treacherous plan.

After all, Shen Yuanbai is a traitor. He deliberately said such words to mislead the young general. It is not impossible to use the young general's words to drive a wedge between the general and the king.

In the tent, Mo Qiandai was also thinking about this matter.

The 150,000 troops in Jiaocheng were weighing on him, and the safety of the northern gate was weighing on him. No matter how heartbroken he was at this moment, he had to cheer up and take control of the overall situation as soon as possible.

Mo Qiandai's eyes fell on Mo Yonglin's body, and the next moment he looked away full of unbearability.

He clenched his hands hard, digging his nails into his palms, and then his thoughts began to work.

According to what Lieutenant General said, Yong Jun could have simply killed Yong Lin and sent the body back, which was also a show of force.

But they chose to burn, and as if they deliberately left a chance for Yong Lin to say his final words.

From this point of view, this is most likely a trap set by Qiao Zhongguo, thinking that he would lose his mind due to his grief and anger and fall into their alienation plan!

Although Mo Qiandai was thinking this, he actually had hesitation in his heart.

He had more dealings with the late king. After the princess got married and Qiao Zhongguo withdrew his troops as promised, he stayed in Jiaocheng all year round. He only occasionally returned to the capital to report on his duties and did not have much contact with the king.

When we first discovered that Princess Yu Liu had been humiliated, we found clues from the king.

On that day, he was summoned to the palace to discuss the conflict between Jiaocheng and Wuding with the late king. The king was still the prince at that time, so he should be present for such an important event.

But that day, the king arrived late and looked embarrassed.

His sharp eyes saw a faint red mark between the king's collar, as if...it was scratched by fingernails!

He frowned in his heart, how could the concubine of the East Palace dare to be disrespectful to the prince?

At that time, he kept an eye out, and then he dug deeper and deeper, and he discovered the horrifying truth!

Looking at the king later, although he is handsome and has a gentle look on his eyebrows, how much conscience and shame does a person who would attack his own sister have in his heart?

Recalling that the king had continuously suppressed him over the years, and even tried every means to weaken his military power, even sending Shen Yuanbai here, Mo Qiandai frowned and felt a little shaken.

Does that idiot think that he, Mo Qiandai, is just like him, only caring about having fun and not caring about the overall situation at all?

Even if he had the intention of rebelling, the enemy was still extremely difficult to deal with Qiao Zhongguo during the current foreign invasion. He couldn't tolerate taking a step back, so how could he rebel?

He, Mo Qiandai, doesn't even bother to be a king who subjugates his country and will be infamous for thousands of years!

Or is it that that idiot has made up his mind to sit back and watch him and Qiao Zhongguo fight with each other while secretly killing his relatives, and then kill him when he, Mo Qiandai, becomes worthless one day after the foreign invasion is quelled?

Thinking of this, Mo Qiandai felt that he had vaguely guessed King Jinyu's thoughts.

If it were in the past, it would have been very difficult for the Northern Kingdom to face the Yong Kingdom, and King Jinyu would not be stupid enough to attack him at this juncture.

But he used the strategy of "eliminating Yong with epidemics", and the results were very good. Now that Wuding's 200,000 troops have been wiped out by the epidemic, the Northern Kingdom does have a chance of winning this battle.

The more Mo Qiandai thought about it, the more enlightened he became. He suddenly turned his head and looked at the two letters from home on the case.

If Yonglin's disaster is really the work of King Jinyu, what about the family members in Beijing? Are they safe and sound again?

Mo Qiandai stood up suddenly. He had not dared to read these two letters carefully in the past few days, but now he held them tightly in his hands and read the handwriting carefully.

That's right...that's right, it's Madam's handwriting...

Mo Qiandai took a breath slowly, and when he raised his head again, there was a cruel look in his eyes.

He will not let Yong Lin die!

Regardless of whether there is King Jinyu's handiwork in this, this king is stupid and debauched, and he will rebel one day!

He has now lost two sons in a row, and his family in Beijing is his last line. He hopes that King Jinyu will be wiser and stop playing tricks on him.

Thinking of this, Mo Qiandai turned around and glanced at Mo Yonglin, feeling an unbearable pain in his heart.

If one day his family and country are stabbed in the back and all his relatives are lost, then what's the point of him fighting to the death to protect his family and country, and working every step of the way to seek the wealth and wealth that will flood the sky?

Don't push him.

Otherwise, he, Mo Qiandai, would give up the country and the name of the great general who protects the country. Even if he would be despised by thousands of people, he would drag King Jinyu into the water and die together!

Mo Qiandai's eyes were scarlet, and he sat back next to Mo Yonglin, holding the two letters from home in his hands, and was speechless for a long time.

Outside the tent, Vice General Chang saw the fish belly whitening in the east, and he blinked tiredly.

He knew the general fairly well. No matter how sad he was, the general would definitely come out because the general was their backbone.

Vice General Chang was thinking this when he suddenly saw a black spot speeding towards him in the distance, which gradually became clearer.

Who dares to ride a horse in the army!

As soon as Vice General Chang had this idea, his expression suddenly changed.

Anyone who can ride a horse in the army, except the general, is——

"Eight hundred miles urgent! Eight hundred miles urgent!"

The cry rang out, confirming Vice General Chang's guess.

The curtain was suddenly opened, and Mo Qiandai's face turned slightly pale, with stubble appearing. His expression was solemn at this time, and there was nothing unusual about it.

The visitor rode up to the scene and hurriedly jumped off the horse.

Mo Qiandai glanced around. Upon seeing this, Vice General Chang said hurriedly: "General, the surrounding area has been cleared."

Mo Qiandai nodded. The visitor had already knelt down in front of Mo Qiandai. He raised his luggage in front of him and spoke quickly before he could take a breath:

"General! Three days ago, rumors that Princess Yuliu was insulted by the late king and the king spread in the royal capital, causing an uproar. Then, the king sent people to secretly besiege Mo Mansion!"

"My subordinates obeyed the general's order. They wanted to take the old lady and the others away at all costs, but the old lady and the madam refused to leave. They said: If you go this time, you will be betraying your will, and the general is in danger."

"My subordinates couldn't persuade me, so the old lady wrote a letter and asked the general to read it!"

When Vice General Chang heard this, his face instantly turned pale, and he was already shouting that something was wrong.

And Mo Qiandai looked at the luggage in front of him. When he heard the words Mo Mansion was besieged, his blood surged up and his whole body seemed to be on fire!

His expression remained unchanged, and he reached out to pick up the luggage, but his right hand was already trembling, which was frightening to see.

After unpacking the bag, there were two pieces of paper stained with ink lying inside. Maybe the time was so short that I didn't even have time to put the envelopes on.

Mo Qiandai took it out and unfolded it. It was my mother's handwriting, writing:

Qiandai my son, since ancient times it is difficult for generals to die well, and my son is so powerful that he has been a pillar of the country and has already achieved great success.

Chaos broke out today and my family was surrounded. My mother had already realized this and was not afraid. As a member of a general's family, you may have unlimited glory, or your body and head may be in a different place, and there is no other way out.

If one day, the king threatens our lives, I hope that my son will not hesitate or compromise. The Mo family is unyielding and has been fighting for decades with the utmost benevolence and righteousness, and has lived up to the family and the country.

Mother knows that my son has always had great ambitions. If you want to do something, don't worry about us. My son is so talented that he can be the king of the world.

If it succeeds, our souls will be together to enjoy the good scenery of the world. If it fails, my son has tried his best and will have no regrets.

After several letters home, my mother knew for sure that her beloved grandson might have been in trouble. If she went to hell this time, she would see her beloved grandson again and she would not be alone.

I hope that my son will take good care of his good Sun Yonglin. From then on, the father will be kind and the son will be filial, spreading the incense of the Mo family.

I hope you will protect yourself and pray for what you hope for.

Chapter 524: General, rebel!

After reading the last word, Mo Qiandai slowly closed his eyes, and there was no movement for a while.

Vice General Chang stood aside. Although he had never seen the contents of the letter in person, the message that came to him had frightened him.

After all, the general had just learned of the death of the young general, and the king's handiwork was indispensable. Now the king has imprisoned Mo Mansion because of the rumors. This...

"Yeah......"

Mo Qiandai suddenly spoke, his voice low and trembling.

Upon seeing this, Vice General Chang waved hurriedly to the messenger, fearing that others might overhear what he shouldn't have heard.

Seeing that the man retreated, Vice General Chang whispered: "General?"

Mo Qiandai didn't respond. He suddenly turned around and opened the curtain, then stepped in and coughed out a mouthful of blood.

The scarlet blood stains fell next to Mo Yonglin's body, which was shocking.

When Vice General Chang saw this, he felt a chill in his heart. He hurriedly stepped forward to support Mo Qiandai and shouted: "General!"

Mo Qiandai never pushed Vice General Chang away, but instead tightly held Vice General Chang's arm. His eyebrows were sinister, and he gritted his teeth and said bitterly:

"He pushed me to this point, he pushed me to this point!!!"

Although Vice General Chang is often afraid of Mo Qiandai, his loyalty is also unquestionable.

He looked around the tent, his eyes fell on the map set up on the side, and he stared at the royal capital that was specially marked on it. He suddenly summoned the courage to speak:

"General, why don't you - rebel!"

This sentence has been circulating in Vice General Chang's mind for many years. As soon as he spoke it, all the injustices accumulated for Mo Qiandai over the years came out.

"General, the king has become so dissolute and incompetent. If the general hadn't guarded Jiaocheng and guarded the country all these years, how could that soft-footed shrimp of his be able to secure the throne?"

"But he is suspicious and fickle by nature and can't tolerate others. These rumors are rampant. Why don't we just follow the trend and simply lose the hearts of his people?"

"General, you and Princess Yuliu have a good reputation in the country. This time, why don't we fight back to the capital in the name of 'getting rid of the foolish king and fighting for justice for the princess'. In this way, general, you will be rightly appointed and will be welcomed by the public." ah!"

In his eyes, the general is a talented and strategic man who can make good decisions. Compared with the Jin family who live extravagantly and enjoy themselves without knowing the sufferings of the people, the general is a good king who can lead the Northern Kingdom to the future generations!

As for the heavy killing that he feared, the interior of the north had long been in disarray. How could the general defend his troops if he did not use his iron-blooded tactics to frighten people's hearts?

"General, rebel! I will follow you to the death. I will succeed without seeking glory, and I will die without regrets!"

When Vice General Chang said this, he leaned over and kowtowed heavily at Mo Qiandai, making a muffled sound.

When Mo Qiandai heard this, he slowly raised his head.

His eyes lingered on Vice General Chang, and then fell on Mo Yonglin's body beside him.

Just one glance made him feel sore in his throat and he was in pain.

The words in my mother's letter, "Protect your good Sun Yonglin," were really like a sharp knife, piercing his heart.

No more...both sons are gone...

King Jinyu had murderous intentions for Yonglin first, and took action against Mo Mansion later because of suspicion. Isn't this just forcing him!

He has long said that his family in Jingzhong is his final bottom line!

Thinking of this, Mo Qiandai gritted his teeth with hatred and leaned over to help Deputy General Chang up.

Vice General Chang quickly raised his head and heard Mo Qiandai's hoarse but cold voice, "Vice General Chang, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run."

Upon hearing this, Vice General Chang was startled for a moment, then his eyes flashed and he hurriedly responded: "Everything depends on the general's orders!"

It seems that the general has finally made up his mind!

At this time, Mo Qiandai walked to Mo Yonglin's body and squatted down, reached out and touched the curled black arm, and said slowly:

"Lieutenant General Chang, bring us the prepared coffin. Yonglin...it's time to be laid to rest."

Upon hearing this, Vice General Chang hurriedly took the order and went out. Silence returned to the tent again. Mo Qiandai endured it again and again, but still burst into tears.

After a while, he spoke in a low voice, full of regret.

"Yong Lin, maybe dad should have listened to you a long time ago instead of waiting for the so-called opportunity..."

Mo Yonglin's funeral was very low-key. Now that the war is approaching, it should not be made public.

Mo Qiandai took Vice General Chang and his soldiers to bury Mo Yonglin next to Mo Yongsheng's tomb.

Just on the slope of the eastern suburbs of Jiaocheng, standing here you can see the Wuding City of Yong State in the distance.

Mo Qiandai had already shed his tears. At this time, he sprinkled strong wine in front of the grave and said in a hoarse voice:

"Yong Lin, Yong Sheng, I am sorry that you are here for now. Just wait and see, when dad captures Wuding, kill Qiao Zhongguo, and comfort your souls in heaven."

Vice General Chang stood aside and understood Mo Qiandai's plan after hearing this.

It seems that the general has figured it out, and he still needs to deal with Qiao Zhongguo first, and then start a rebellion.

Vice General Chang's guess was correct. Mo Qiandai had indeed made his decision.

Although he suffered two blows in a row, he was not an ordinary person after all, and he would never allow himself to wallow in pain.

He knew very well that although Mo Mansion was besieged, in order to use his family to coerce him, King Jinyu should not kill anyone in a short time.

Moreover, he had written his speculations about Shen Yuanbai in a secret letter and sent it to Beijing a few days ago, and it was time to arrive today.

If King Jinyu saw that letter, he should know that he had no objection before, so the lives of his family members should be safe this time.

However, King Jinyu repeatedly pushed him too far, and he was determined to rebel. As long as he solved the foreign threat of Qiao Zhongguo and ordered his people to rescue all his relatives at all costs, he could march north without any scruples!

Now, we might as well take action to establish the truth about Yuliu first, so that King Jinyu and the people will lose heart, and build momentum for subsequent rebellion!

At this point, there was only one hesitation left in Mo Qiandai's mind, and that was - Qiao Zhongguo!

For Qiao Zhongguo, Mo Qiandai would not be stingy with any words of praise in his heart. Whether from the perspective of an enemy or a fellow general, Qiao Zhongguo was the strongest and most difficult person he had ever encountered.

When the two armies faced each other, he could see that Qiao Zhongguo was actually not good at trickery. He always made great efforts in arranging his troops, but he often achieved miraculous results.

But looking at now, Qiao Zhongguo has never made any big moves since he came to Wuding, and always sends his youngest son to do deceitful tricks.

Especially when Yong Lin was burned this time, it could be said that all the agencies had been exhausted, which was hardly like Qiao Zhongguo's style of conduct.

Could it be that because of his policy of "eliminating Yong with epidemics", the Wuding army was abolished, and Qiao Zhongguo really had nothing to do but resort to strategist tactics?

Thinking of this, Mo Qiandai couldn't help but frown.

He didn't want to underestimate Qiao Zhongguo.

If Qiao Zhongguo was more powerful, could his actions these days have other profound meanings?

Mo Qiandai's mind was spinning, and he couldn't help but cast his eyes on Wuding City in the distance, where there was still a thick smoke rising and spreading day and night...

At this time, for some reason, Mo Qiandai suddenly had a ridiculous suspicion in his heart:

Wuding's 200,000-strong army...are they really all destroyed?

There is no cure for epidemics, and this has been the case throughout the ages, but...

Mo Qiandai's thoughts had just reached this point when suddenly a soldier came quickly from a distance. When he saw Mo Qiandai from a distance, he shouted:

"General, Qiao Zhongguo has moved! He transferred 10,000 troops from Beiding and surrounded Wuding City!"

"There is a riot in Wuding!"

Chapter 525 Burning the City

"What?"

Mo Qiandai hurriedly rushed forward, but suddenly stopped and looked suddenly in the direction of Wuding City.

At this time, the sky was already bright, but in this moment, a fire suddenly broke out in Wuding City. The flames soared into the sky and were so eye-catching that they even overshadowed the rising sun in the east.

At this moment, the soldier had already arrived in front of Mo Qiandai. He knelt down and said sharply:

"General, chaos broke out in Wuding last night. The surviving soldiers and people in the city rushed to the city gate and tried to escape. Some people even jumped from the city wall desperately just to escape."

"Qiao Zhongguo couldn't suppress it, and a conflict broke out between the two sides. So Qiao Zhongguo transferred 10,000 troops from Beiding overnight to surround Wuding City."

"There are already piles of dry firewood and hay outside Wuding City. If the situation cannot be reversed, Qiao Zhongguo may burn Wuding to completely cut off the source of the epidemic!"

When Mo Qiandai heard this, his eyebrows jumped in shock, and he said in a daze: "It's already burning."

Upon hearing this, the soldier hurriedly turned around and saw the fire leaping in the direction of Wuding City. Even though he was so far away, he seemed to be able to feel a surge of heat rising.

Vice General Chang stepped forward with a look of ecstasy on his face.

"General, your strategy finally worked, Wu Ding's army is completely finished!"

Six months have passed since the epidemic was first introduced, and the Yong Kingdom has still trapped the epidemic in Wuding City.

The general once lamented that Ren Chong, who was guarding Wuding, was really a man. Not only did he react quickly but he was also very courageous, and he sealed Wuding early.

Now it seems that human nature seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages. Under the double suppression of the epidemic and Ren Chong, the soldiers and people in Wuding City were probably stretched to the extreme, and today they finally broke out!

At this moment, Mo Qiandai couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in her heart.

After all, this was what he expected to see when he released the source of the epidemic. It took several months, but now it has finally come true.

There is no cure for the epidemic, and this has been the case for thousands of years. In order to block the source of the epidemic, burning corpses and cities has always been the only option.

From this point of view, Qiao Zhongguo is indeed desperate!

After Vice General Chang on the side was overjoyed, he couldn't help but feel worried, "General, will this push Qiao Zhongguo into a panic? What should we do if he brings the epidemic back to our northern country?"

After Mo Qiandai heard this, he shook his head firmly. Since he dared to use this strategy in the first place, he had already thought of all aspects.

"He won't. With Qiao Zhongguo's temperament, he can be a hero, but he can't be a tyrant because he is soft-hearted."

Mo Qiandai spoke calmly, there was no sarcasm or contempt in his words, and there was even a hint of unexplainable appreciation.

When he originally proposed the strategy of "eliminating Yong with epidemic disease", he had only one purpose: to get rid of Wuding's army.

He was betting that Ren Chong and Qiao Zhong would try their best to stop the epidemic in Wuding City. In this way, the epidemic would not harm the northern country, and Wuding's 200,000-strong army would be destined to be destroyed.

He knew that Qiao Zhongguo would never take the initiative to spread the epidemic.

Because once the entire Northern Kingdom falls, Yong Kingdom will not want to stay out of it. In this way, both sides will suffer losses. This is not what Qiao Zhongguo wants to see.

The confidence for this bet came from his understanding of Qiao Zhongguo and his recognition of Qiao Zhongguo's noble character.

He is different from Qiao Zhongguo. He is ruthless and even prepared for the worst from the beginning.

But so far, it's clear that he won the bet.

However, Qiao Zhongguo is not simple after all, so he still can't feel completely at ease.

Thinking of this, Mo Qiandai restrained the joy on his face and told Vice General Chang in a deep voice:

"Vice General Chang, check again! Be sure to confirm that Qiao Zhongguo has burned the city and that Wuding's 200,000-strong army has been completely wiped out!"

"yes!"

Vice General Chang immediately took the order and took over the matter personally.

Mo Qiandai stood there, looking at the firelight soaring into the sky in the distance, his eyes deep and full of thoughts.

————

Wuding City was burned, really.

But Wuding City was very large. In fact, only the outer ring was burned, and a high dry firewood platform was built. The fire appeared to be extremely intense when burning, but the fire was blocked inside layers, leaving enough room for people.

In fact, all the people in the city and most of the soldiers had already left the city in groups in darkness.

This strategy was implemented when Jiaojiao, Qiao Tianjing and others entered Wuding City and everyone agreed on the time for the Northern Expedition in the tent.

Thanks to the military doctor Cong Xiangsheng, there were still 180,000 soldiers left in Wuding from 200,000. The loss of more than 10,000 soldiers was really regrettable, but it has created a legend in the raging epidemic.

Unfortunately, the time left for Qiao Zhongguo and the others was too short to evacuate everyone quietly, so they could only leave a group of soldiers to hide in Wuding City.

The evacuation plan during these days was carefully planned by Qiao Jiajun to ensure that no scouts from the North would take advantage of it.

The army was mainly divided into three groups, one group went to the garrison point on Wuding Changdao, one group went east, and one group went west. These two groups of armies will be put to great use later.

During this period, many people were secretly sent away under the cover of transporting supplies.

Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue harassed the troops stationed in Jiaonan Road from time to time, partly to prepare the ground for sending out Mo Yonglin, and partly to attract the attention and energy of the Northern Army scouts as much as possible.

As for the epidemic, although it is still not completely cured, the prescription developed by Imperial Physician Zou and his colleagues has made the typhoid fever no longer fatal.

If a strong person drinks the medicine in advance, even if he catches the disease, the symptoms will be very mild, but the weak will be worse. Once infected, he will inevitably suffer a lot.

To this day, Dr. Zou and his colleagues are still working tirelessly to improve the prescription and strive to completely conquer this epidemic.

The plan to burn Wuding City was also decided early at that time.

Although everyone knew that there was no solution to the epidemic, and Mo Qiandai also sent Xiang Wenqiu to explore Wuding at night and got false information.

But based on Qiao Zhongguo's understanding of Mo Qiandai, he was very cautious after all. If he didn't take a strong dose of medicine, once the illusion of the Wuding epidemic was revealed, all the previous plans would be in vain.

Qiao Zhongguo also personally asked the people in the city about this matter. After all, Wuding was their home.

The people in the city really understand the righteousness. In their opinion, if they can win the battle and avenge their dead relatives by withdrawing this time, they are 100% willing.

Qiao Zhongguo was full of apologies after all, and when asked about compensation, they all had only one request.

"General Qiao, when the world is at peace and the city of Wuding is built again, can you build Wuding as it is today?"

"We all have strength, we are not afraid of hardship, and we can all help."

"We're just afraid... that our departed relatives won't be able to find their way home, and that when they come back... they won't recognize the new house."

This sentence almost forced Qiao Zhongguo to tears.

Now, looking at the flames soaring into the sky in front of him, Qiao Zhongguo clenched his fists and looked determined.

When he came to Wuding this time, he changed his usual style and spent a lot of time planning before the war.

Jiaojiao and the boss plotted people's hearts, Erlang and Qianyue Bing made strange moves, he and General Ren were in charge of the army, but the soldiers and people of Wuding had no complaints, and everyone was tied together.

Now that the drama has been completed, no matter how cautious Mo Qiandai is, it's time to let down his guard in the face of the ironclad "truth"!

————

The towering Wuding City was drowned in fire and thick smoke. The fire burned from day to night, and the fire was still not small, which shows Qiao Zhongguo's determination to burn the city.

Vice General Chang walked quickly in the military camp with an irrepressible joy on his face. When he arrived in front of the main tent, he quickly straightened his expression and shouted: "General!"

"Come in."

Mo Qiandai's deep voice came from inside the tent, obviously he had been waiting for a long time.

Vice General Chang hurriedly opened the curtain and entered, knelt on the ground and eagerly reported: "General, you see clearly, Qiao Zhongguo has indeed burned the city!"

"Wuding City has been engulfed in flames, and no one in the city has escaped!"

As soon as Vice General Chang finished speaking, Mo Qiandai raised his hand to slap the table and shouted in a low voice: "Okay!"

He had a stern look on his face, clenched his right hand into a fist, and said solemnly:

"The time has come, let's eliminate the trouble first, and then destroy the Hunjun!"

Chapter 526 The war is really coming

"Vice General Chang, time waits for no one. Please call the Captain of the Fourth Battalion here quickly!"

Mo Qiandai knew in his heart that Qiao Zhongguo would not sit still and wait to die.

The fire that burned the city was so powerful that Qiao Zhong Guoding also guessed that they had clearly understood Wu Ding's background.

Now he has 150,000 troops on hand, while Qiao Zhongguo only brought 30,000 Yong troops to the north. Including the garrison in Beiding, the full force was only 40,000.

At this time, Qiao Zhongguo wanted to come and was arranging his troops in full swing. He could not give Qiao Zhongguo any more time!

When Vice General Chang heard this, he perked up and immediately came out of his tent to deliver orders.

It was already late at night, and Mo Qiandai was sitting in the tent, wondering how Qiao Zhongguo would respond at such a disadvantage, when he suddenly heard the rapid sound of horse hooves.

Mo Qiandai raised his head suddenly, stood up hurriedly the next moment, walked around the long case and walked out quickly.

If you look carefully, you will find that Mo Qiandai's hands clenched on both sides of his body are even trembling slightly.

Riding horses in the military camp, another 800-mile journey!

Mo Qiandai came outside the tent. At this time, a man had galloped off his horse and shouted: "General, the king has sent you eight hundred miles to hurry up!"

"quick!"

Mo Qiandai shouted low, couldn't wait to take the bag, and hurriedly opened the letter inside. After reading it from beginning to end, the high-spirited heart finally fell back.

Okay, okay, he thought it was the Jingzhong family who had...

After being completely relieved, Mo Qiandai carefully read King Jinyu's letter again, with a sarcastic smile gradually rising from the corner of his mouth.

It turns out that the letter he sent out that day reminding Shen Yuanbai that Shen Yuanbai was a traitor arrived too late. The king was already in chaos. What happened to Yu Liu was in broad daylight. He didn't even have to take action. King Jin Yu had already lost all the people's support.

At this time, King Jinyu knew that he was afraid, so he wrote a letter to comfort and win over him, for fear that King Jinshun would get ahead of him and shake the throne.

But, it's too late!

Now that the situation on the front line is excellent, as long as he defeats Qiao Zhongguo and seizes Wuding Beiding, he can lead his troops back to the capital and pull King Jinyu from that position.

There is nothing wrong with changing the surname of this northern country to Mo!

Thinking of this, Mo Qiandai's heart was filled with ups and downs, and he could not hide his ambition and aspirations at this moment.

However, before the family in Beijing is completely out of trouble and leaves Beijing, the drama still has to be played.

So Mo Qiandai turned around and wrote a reply. He spoke sincerely and expressed his loyalty, but concealed the situation on the front line. He only said that the epidemic situation in Wuding was unknown and needed to be investigated further. He would risk his life to protect the country... ..

Seeing the messenger soldier receiving the reply and riding away in the dark, Mo Qiandai frowned deeply and suddenly raised the corner of his mouth:

"Ah--"

Soon, Vice General Chang and the captain of the Fourth Battalion arrived one after another. Mo Qiandai discussed with everyone until dawn, and then officially finalized the battle plan.

"Even Qiao Zhongguo, with such a huge disparity in military strength, is unable to make a comeback."

"But even so, I still hope that you will not underestimate the enemy or go deep alone. The situation is very good this time. You can only win but not lose. Let's go!"

Everyone respectfully received the order and hurriedly left the tent to order troops.

The war is really coming!

Before Lieutenant General Chang entered the account, he learned from the soldiers that the Eight Hundred Miles Express was coming again. There were so many people just now that he did not dare to say anything. At this moment, he hurriedly said with concern:

"General, Beijing...are you okay?"

Mo Qiandai knew Vice General Chang's loyalty and did not hide it.

"Oh, it's the one who sent it. He made a big mistake at the hands of Shen Yuanbai. The news from the royal capital will come soon. He has lost people's hearts, but now he knows that he has to rely on me."

Vice General Chang couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this.

"General, great! When the news comes from the royal capital, we will have a complete victory in Jiaocheng."

"You swallowed Wuding and Beiding, and Ding became famous. Compared with the two, how can the people not be attracted to you!"

Mo Qiandai also had the same idea in his mind, but he showed no emotion or anger and just nodded lightly.

Vice General Chang felt relieved and was about to go down to inspect the progress of the fourth battalion. At this moment, Mo Qiandai suddenly remembered something and said softly:

"By the way, let's praise the son of the Lu family."

Upon hearing this, Vice General Chang understood immediately and took the order.

After all, the Lu family has some prestige and influence in the royal capital. When the general sends his army northward, it would be a good thing if the Lu family can cooperate with others.

Thinking of Lu Xiu's success as a villain in Nanying these days, Vice General Chang looked sarcastic, but he couldn't help but sigh: Lu Xiu was really born into a good child.

The troops of the fourth battalion were still practicing in the morning when they were suddenly called to the martial arts stage. When they learned that the troops were going into battle, the whole army was excited!

They all saw the Wuding fire last night. Although they knew the war was coming, they didn't expect it to come so quickly!

In the audience, Wang Houmai and Liu Sheng'an looked at each other cryptically, secretly clenching their fists.

coming!

After the ordering of troops, Wang Houmai and Liu Sheng'an returned to the tent. They sat opposite each other, barely able to hide the excitement in their eyes.

So far, they have instigated the rebellion of seven thousand captains, all of whom were targeted and exploited by Lu Xiu just like them.

Even though they only have 9,000 people in total, the most important thing on the battlefield is morale and formation. Once they tear a hole open, it's not that easy to mend it!

During this period, Xiang Wenqiu wrote two more times. Liu Sheng'an was more rough-tempered and hadn't noticed anything yet, but Wang Houmai was careful.

He could see that Lao Qiu spoke highly of Qiao Zhongguo's son Qiao Diyi, and it seemed that he was completely convinced by him.

He knew Lao Qiu's temperament. Someone who was proud, loyal, and recognized by Lao Qiu was indeed extraordinary.

Lao Qiu patted his chest in the letter and said that when the opportunity came on the battlefield, they would just rebel. He and Qiao Diyi would show up together and would protect them when the time came.

Wang Houmai got some other meanings from these words.

There is a widespread rumor among their northern army that Wuding's 200,000-strong army was wiped out by the epidemic. Now Yong's army only has 40,000 people, and they have a full 150,000. They, the northern country, will win this battle, and they will definitely win. Effortless.

Judging from Lao Qiu's letter, he was equally confident in Qiao Diyi and Yong Jun.

It can be seen from this that Yong Jun still has a backup plan!

Wang Houmai firmly believed that Xiang Wenqiu would not harm him. They were brothers who had died, so he couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

Qiao Zhongguo and the others are really good at their tricks. They did their acting flawlessly, and they have practiced "showing the enemy with weakness" to the extreme.

Just when Wang Houmai thought of this, someone suddenly came to deliver an order, saying that Lu Xiu, the captain of ten thousand men, had summoned him.

Wang Houmai and Liu Sheng'an hurried there, only to learn that their Nanying Team A was under the full command of Captain Lu Xiu this time. This was a pre-war instruction.

Upon hearing this news, Wang Houmai and Liu Sheng'an, as well as the seven captains who had been instigated to rebel, all had their eyes moved and their hearts were overjoyed!

OK!

Compared with Captain Zhou's direct command, Lu Xiu is a mere showman, which is much easier to deal with. This is really a blessing for them!

Chapter 527 Morale has been established

The Northern Army's preparations for war are in full swing, but the morale of the Wu Ding side is low and they have no fighting spirit.

The fire in Wuding City burned for a full day and night, and it gradually stopped at noon on the second day.

In the sparse remaining fire, it can be seen that the once majestic Wuding City has become a ruins.

A total of 10,000 Yong troops stood outside, looking sad and unbearable when they saw this scene.

Even though all the people and soldiers in the city were infected with the epidemic, and the burning of Wu Ding was out of consideration for the overall situation, they still took action against their compatriots, and they set the fire themselves.

This feeling is too uncomfortable. After all, the Wuding compatriots who rioted last night... they just want to live...

Qiao Zhongguo stood directly opposite the Wuding City Gate. Looking at the devastation, his face turned pale and his eyes were moist.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from behind, and the leaders were Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue.

The two of them went to Beiding last night and sent 10,000 people to stop the Wuding riot. Early this morning, they also brought over another 20,000 troops.

Since the epidemic broke out in Wuding, all Yong troops were stationed in Beiding. They only knew that the epidemic was terrible, but they had never seen the tragedy of Wuding with their own eyes.

Now, seeing that the once majestic Wuding Gate was reduced to such a dilapidated state, all the Yong soldiers looked shocked and stopped in unison.

Qiao Zhongguo turned his head and looked at each other from a distance with Qiao Diyi.

Then, he turned around, suddenly bent his knees, and knelt down towards Wu Dingcheng.

Seeing this, the Qiao Jiajun behind him and the Yongjun around him also knelt down.

It's not too hot in the north in June, and the wind in the wilderness is very refreshing.

But today, there was heat in the wind, which was the residual heat from the burning of Wuding City. Mixed with the burning smell of charcoal, it almost burned the hearts of every soldier present.

Qiao Zhongguo bowed his head and kowtowed heavily. When he straightened his upper body again, his face was filled with sadness:

"Wu Dingying's soul is on top. It is I, Qiao Zhongguo, who is guilty of burning the city today!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the Yong soldiers changed drastically, and some people couldn't help shouting:

"General! It's not your fault!"

"Yes! It's clear that the Northern traitor lost his conscience and surrendered to Wuding due to the epidemic. His crime cannot be pardoned!"

"We want to avenge our compatriots in Wuding!"

As soon as these words came out, the Yong soldiers who had just been deeply in grief and couldn't extricate themselves suddenly became filled with righteous indignation.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Zhongguo raised his hand and waved, and the soldiers immediately fell silent, and the place fell silent again.

Qiao Zhongguo took a deep breath, stood up slowly, and raised his voice again:

"The Northern Thieves surrendered to the epidemic and destroyed our 200,000-strong army of the Yong Dynasty. Last night Wuding burned the city with flames reaching into the sky. The Northern Thieves also found out the details of Wuding."

"This is a difficult situation. This general has prepared a book and returned to Beijing a few days ago, but reinforcements will not arrive for at least half a month, and the Northern Thieves will not miss this opportunity."

"The war is coming——"

After Qiao Zhongguo finished speaking, he paused slightly and looked around, passing through the faces that were either young or vicissitudes of life.

The next moment, he said solemnly: "The Northern Bandits have an army of 150,000, and we only have 30,000. Sons of the Yong Dynasty, are you - afraid?"

As soon as these words came out, all the Yong troops present trembled, but they were not afraid, but excited, and their blood was boiling!

At this time, a tough but slightly young voice suddenly sounded, speaking everyone's heart.

"General, my subordinates ask themselves to take the lead and drive back the Northern traitors!"

"Behind me is Beiding, the land of Yong Kingdom, and thousands of compatriots. I am willing to use this body to take root in Wuding. I will not be afraid, afraid, or retreat, and I would rather die than surrender!"

Everyone looked up and saw Qiao Diyi holding up the Yong-character flag in his hand, with a resolute face, and answered Qiao Zhongguo's questions head-on.

Everyone recognizes that this is their young general!

Flags were flying in the wind, and Qiao Diyi had made the most solemn oath in front of the departed heroes of Wuding City.

The officers and soldiers were so excited by these words that their faces turned red and they rushed to speak:

"Don't be intimidated, don't be afraid, don't retreat, and would rather die than surrender! We invite ourselves to lead the battle with the major general to drive back the Northern traitors!"

The sound is deafening and the people are united!

When Qiao Zhongguo saw this, he couldn't help but feel happy.

He knew that all the sons of the Yong Dynasty were good!

The people of Wuding and the 140,000 troops have already evacuated one after another. There are still 40,000 troops hidden in the dilapidated Wuding City. They will be the key to winning this war.

But Qiao Zhongguo kept these things hidden from the soldiers of Beiding and the people outside Wuding from the beginning to the end.

One thing is that Mo Qiandai is extremely cautious. If the truth spreads, one or two hundred people may be able to pretend, but 30,000 people will more or less show their flaws.

Secondly, the 30,000 soldiers present were brought by him from the capital. Most of them were young people and had not yet experienced the battlefield.

Young people are the future of Yong State, but without training, they cannot grow, let alone become successful.

Qiao Zhongguo wants to make them clearly aware of the cruelty of war, stimulate their bloody nature, and let them develop their own consciousness!

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhongguo looked around, looking at the soldiers who were completely different from the sad and depressed people just now, and nodded heavily.

The predicament was fake, but his previous kneeling was genuine.

Because he was kneeling on the people and soldiers of Wuding who had great righteousness, he was kneeling on the souls who died in the epidemic, and he was kneeling on this majestic city wall that still stood despite the wind and rain.

He said that people in the world should not forget Wu Ding's dedication and perseverance.

At this point, morale has been built up, and Mo Qiandai should be convinced.

Qiao Zhongguo's guess was correct. Even though Mo Qiandai had ordered troops last night and the Northern Army was already preparing for war, Mo Qiandai still sent three groups of scouts to investigate early this morning.

He remained vigilant at the last moment, but he never imagined that Qiao Zhongguo would perform the scene so realistically that he could even "deceive" one of his own people completely!

Qiao Zhongguo raised his hand again and suppressed everyone's passionate words.

He picked up the air of a commander and said solemnly but calmly: "The Northern Army is already preparing for war. This time, at least a hundred thousand troops will press the border."

"There are many examples of battles in history where a small number of people defeated a large number, but there is no doubt that every battle was extremely difficult. I believe that today's battle in Wuding will definitely leave a mark in the eyes of future generations!"

"If you don't retreat, you will die today, and I will stand in front of you!"

"When the mountains and rivers are safe and the world is at peace, please invite Wu Ding's heroic soul to return home to atone for today's sin of burning the city!"

After saying this, Qiao Zhongguo bowed deeply towards Wu Dingcheng again.

When all the soldiers saw this, they all bent down. When they looked up again, their sorrow had faded and their fighting spirit was high!

When the Northern Army scouts hiding in the distance saw this, even though the opponent only had 30,000 people, they still couldn't help but feel frightened.

It turned out that this was Qiao Zhongguo who had fought all the way to the royal capital. With just a few words, he managed to twist 30,000 people into a tight rope!

But no matter what, the disparity in power between the two armies is a foregone conclusion. Their 150,000-strong army can easily flatten Wuding with just a stomp of their feet!

Thinking of this, the last batch of scouts turned around and sent back the latest military reports.

The Northern Army can send troops with peace of mind!

And, the sooner the better!

Chapter 528: A battle with "no suspense"

The next day, Mao hour.

Mo Qiandai personally ordered an army of 120,000 to send troops to Wuding!

Starting from Jiaonan Road, we drove quickly and arrived at the Wuding River in just an hour.

Mo Qiandai sat high on the army's horse and could see the burnt and dilapidated Wuding City at a glance.

Although I had heard the scouts come and report again and again, but now I saw it with my own eyes, I still felt shocked and confident.

The army pressed forward and soon alerted the Yong army on the opposite side, and bursts of drum beating sounded from the other side.

Vice General Chang rode his horse and followed Mo Qiandai. Hearing the sound, he said excitedly: "General, they are here!"

I saw Yong's army coming from the rear of Wuding City in two groups. Flags were waving in front of me, drums were beating continuously, and the footsteps were sonorous but noisy. They could be heard clearly across the Wuding River.

Before the army set off, Mo Qiandai had already made it clear that Wuding's 200,000-strong army had been destroyed, and now only 30,000 Beiding garrison was still hanging on.

But when the Northern troops saw it now, there seemed to be tens of thousands of people on the opposite side!

When Mo Qiandai saw this scene, he raised his lips and sneered.

"Qiao Zhongguo is really at the end of his rope, and he actually used the Mysterious Sac Formation."

"If this general didn't know the details of Wu Ding, this plan would still be suspicious. But the city has been burned for a day and a night. If we use this formation again, we are just deceiving ourselves and others!"

Upon hearing this, Vice General Chang hurriedly agreed: "General, Qiao Zhongguo was indeed brave back then, but he has been away from the army for more than ten years. The glory and wealth of the capital may have long ago exhausted his energy and courage."

When Mo Qiandai heard this, he waved his hand, "Don't underestimate him, fix your military morale first and cross the river!"

Seeing this, Lieutenant General Chang hurriedly stopped, then drew out his long sword from the saddle and raised his voice solemnly: "This is the Yong Army's old suspicion formation. The enemy only has 30,000 people. Today's battle will be won!"

"The general has orders to cross the river!"

"yes!"

The orders were passed out layer by layer, and the majestic roar of the entire 120,000-strong army instantly suppressed the drumbeats on the other side.

Rains in the north mostly occur from late July to early August, and now it is June. The water in Wuding River is not too urgent, and even Pu cutting is not needed.

The former troops of the Northern Army, armed with shields and spears, stepped into the Wuding River one after another and forced their way across the river.

Qiao Zhongguo stood on his horse in the middle of the army, and when he saw this, he waved his long sword to the side.

Xiao Qianyue was dressed in military uniform, holding a small red flag in each hand, standing in front of the formation with her back to Wuding River. When she saw Qiao Zhongguo's order, she nodded heavily.

The next moment, she raised the small flag in her hand, waved it neatly to the left and right, and shouted loudly:

"The archers, sword and shield soldiers obey the order and form a wild goose formation!"

As soon as Xiao Qianyue finished speaking, the soldiers holding shields and bows in the front army immediately dispersed to the left and right, moving quickly but methodically, like wild geese spreading their wings.

When the troops were in place, Xiao Qianyue received Qiao Zhongguo's eyes and immediately waved her hands downwards, "Shoot!"

Bows and arrows soared into the sky, their strings buzzed, and they rushed straight towards the northern army crossing the river!

Screams rang out instantly, and the Wuding River was stained with blood.

But almost at the same time, the Northern Army also set up a formation, and long arrows flew towards Wuding's front army, just to cover the river crossing operation.

Hearing the sound of arrows falling behind him, this time there was no need to wait for Qiao Zhongguo's instructions. Xiao Qianyue had already raised her hands, and the small flag in her hands turned blue.

"Shield up!"

Therefore, the sword and shield soldiers immediately put up their long shields to protect the archers, and Xiao Qianyue also crouched down in time to avoid them.

Bang bang bang!

The long arrow landed on the shield, making a deafening sound.

Xiao Qianyue turned her head to look through the gap in the shield formation and saw that the first batch of Northern troops had successfully crossed the river.

"kill!"

At this time, the cry of killing rang out from the right wing. It turned out that the forward cavalry led by Qiao Diyi had galloped up and strangled the Northern troops ashore.

Bloody arrows were flying, and the Northern troops who had just landed on the beach were already dead and missing before they could even stand firm.

The real hand-to-hand combat is the most inspiring thing. The thirty thousand Yong army saw such bravery from the major general. The shock and fear they had just seen at the sight of the 120,000 army also quietly disappeared at this moment.

The current short-term situation is indeed good, but Qiao Zhongguo's expression is still solemn, and Mo Qiandai across from him doesn't even raise an eyebrow.

120,000 vs. 30,000, this is a battle without any suspense. If it weren't for the fact that the opposing general was Qiao Zhongguo, he would have been more relaxed and bold in this battle.

Crossing the river inevitably requires death. After all, this "bridge across the river" has always been built with human lives.

Sure enough, the advantage in numbers was reflected at this time. The Northern troops were crossing the river in a steady stream, and even the forwards led by Qiao Diyi were unable to kill them.

Seeing more and more Northern troops landing on the beach, the Wuding Chinese Army also picked up their spears, with resolute expressions on their faces, and they had already put life and death aside.

As we agreed yesterday, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't retreat, and would rather die than surrender!

A dignified son of the Yong Dynasty, he naturally keeps his word!

It is impossible to escape today. As for the parents, wives, children, brothers and sisters who are looking forward to returning home, or the sweetheart who burst into tears when parting...

Isn't it that they are fighting to protect them?

Last night, they slept in the wilderness, facing the stars in the sky, and they had already made an agreement among themselves:

In the end, if anyone is still alive, don't forget to go home and see the deceased. They even left their last words and forced each other to memorize them!

If...if no one survives in the end, that's okay.

They died dignifiedly at the gate of the country. One day, the wind from the north will cross the mountains and rivers and carry their thoughts and reluctance home.

Wuding's former army was already facing the Northern Army. Upon seeing this, Qiao Zhongguo stepped forward with his sword drawn, and stood in front of everyone as he promised.

"If a man doesn't show his ambition, he will lose his eight-foot body in vain! My sons, follow me - kill!"

Qiao Zhongguo raised his sword, and the soldiers behind him were all excited and shouted: "Kill!"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Qianyue immediately put the two flags in her hands behind her waist, grasped the silver gun at her side, and joined the fighting vanguard without hesitation.

A woman is loyal and brave and will never lose to a man who is eight feet tall!

One day, she will also gather a group of sassy girls to form a unique women's army and compete with the boys!

The fighting here was fierce, with real swords and guns, and flesh and blood flying.

Qiao Diyi was so brave that he was surrounded by countless Northern troops. Knowing that he was the son of Qiao Zhongguo, they all wanted to behead him and make a mark.

Qiao Diyi turned his spear and plunged it into the throat of a Beijun army. He turned his head to look for Xiao Qianyue in his busy schedule.

When he saw Xiao Qianyue's spear dancing out of sight, the Northern Army was so shocked that he screamed repeatedly, and the corners of his mouth were raised high.

carefree!

Xiang Wenqiu was always closely followed by Qiao Diyi. He still changed his appearance today and was always paying attention to the situation of the Northern Army crossing the river.

According to his understanding, among the Northern Army, the East Camp was mostly the forwards, usually taking the lead, while the West Camp was mostly the backup. If he guessed correctly, they should be left to guard the Jiaocheng Barracks.

The South Camp and the North Camp are the main forces of the Chinese army. During the drill, the South Camp mostly leads the left wing.

Thinking of this, Xiang Wenqiu immediately looked towards the left wing of the Northern Army.

Qiao Diyi knew that Xiang Wenqiu was doing business and did not hesitate to use his gun to cover him.

After a while, Xiang Wenqiu's eyes lit up and he whispered to Qiao Diyi: "Major General, I saw them crossing the river!"

Chapter 529: Sound the attack horn

Even though Qiao Diyi had declined, everyone in Yong's army was convinced and called Qiao Diyi the major general, and Xiang Wenqiu followed suit.

At this time, Xiang Wenqiu's heart was filled with excitement when he saw Wang Houmai and Liu Sheng'an, whom he had not seen for a long time!

If it was said that surrendering to Qiao Diyi before was more forced by the situation and the country, but now, Xiang Wenqiu is only happy in his heart.

He had been following Qiao Diyi these days, and then he realized that the Yong Kingdom had already created a miracle!

They actually defeated a disease that no one in history could conquer!

Xiang Wenqiu couldn't explain how shocked he was. He only knew that Wu Ding's 200,000-strong army actually suffered very little losses.

This time, Qiao Zhongguo used a weak opponent to catch a turtle in a urn. Mo Qiandai thought he was sure of victory, but he didn't know that he had already led his army into the trap step by step!

If he had not surrendered and had not sent a letter to persuade Lao Mai and Lao An, perhaps even the two of them and their brothers would have died under the iron heel of the Yong Kingdom today!

But there was one thing that Xiang Wenqiu couldn't figure out.

Since the Yong Kingdom already had a chance of winning, why did they go to great lengths to instigate him and let him instigate Lao Mai and the others?

He didn't understand, so he went directly to ask Qiao Diyi.

At that time, Qiao Diyi, who had always been carefree, suddenly straightened up and said solemnly:

"Brother Xiang, human life is precious."

If the Northern Army disrupted its morale and formation on the battlefield, the Yong Army could end the war faster and with fewer casualties.

The Yong Kingdom must fight for this victory, and even had the confidence to conduct the Northern Expedition from the beginning, but they have been planning and planning step by step, just to reduce casualties on the battlefield, whether it is the Yong Army or the Northern Army.

After Xiang Wenqiu figured it out, he couldn't help being shocked, then he smiled bitterly, and couldn't say another word except to follow Qiao Diyi wholeheartedly.

After all, wasn't the reason why he betrayed the Northern Army in the first place because Mo Qiandai, as the general, treated these soldiers like nothing?

At this time, Qiao Diyi couldn't help but shine when he heard Xiang Wenqiu's words.

Just wait a little longer, and the "basket" will soon be closed!

At this time, the main force of the Northern Army was still crossing the river. Qiao Zhongguo brandished the long sword in his hand and left the battlefield for more than ten years. After being a talkative censor for so many years, he was indeed a bit shabby.

However, when the feeling of the blade splitting the enemy's flesh and blood continued to reach his palms, he gradually regained his former high-spirited spirit, as if he had turned back into the victorious general who made his enemies fearful!

Part of the Qiao family army gathered around Qiao Zhongguo, and part of them guarded Qiao Diyi. Compared with those young faces, they were indeed old.

However, unlike the recruits who were gnashing their teeth and eyes red with blood, Qiao Jiajun had a heroic smile on his face.

Being able to return to the battlefield with the general in this life, and dying here today, this life is worth it!

The disparity in numbers between the two sides was huge. No matter how unafraid of death the Yong army was, they were still defeated and were beaten back by the Northern army.

At this time, Mo Qiandai finally crossed the river!

He will not miss this battle that will be recorded in the history of the Northern Kingdom.

He wanted to stand on the Wuding city tower in person, behead Qiao Zhongguo, avenge his son's murder, avert the shame of Qiao Zhongguo's army coming to the capital, and create a legend that belonged to the Mo family and Mo Qiandai. !

At this point, nearly 100,000 of the 120,000 troops from the Northern Kingdom had entered Yong's territory, and the Yong army was forced to the gates of Wuding City, with no way to retreat.

Mo Qiandai saw this scene from a distance and raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously.

Given the absolute disparity in strength, even Qiao Zhongguo should not try to turn decay into magic!

Vice General Chang almost saw Shengli waving to them. He couldn't suppress his excitement and turned around to ask Mo Qiandai for instructions:

"General, Qiao Zhongguo has fallen into a desperate situation. Do you want to sound the alarm and completely capture Yong's army?"

When Mo Qiandai heard this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of pride and ambition in his chest, and nodded heavily.

"allow!"

Lieutenant General Chang was extremely excited and immediately issued an order: "Blow the horn and attack!"

Woo——

The sound of the police horn sounded, low but extremely penetrating, easily reaching the ears of every Northern soldier.

"attack!"

The Northern Army held guns and knives and charged forward to kill!

When the Yong army heard the signal of the Northern army's attack, their expressions changed drastically.

The enemy stepped forward, raising billowing smoke and dust, like an irresistible wave.

Everyone stood against the wall. They knew that they would die in this battle. They had no fear in their hearts, but they were unwilling to give up.

In the end, they failed to protect Wu Ding and build a high wall for the compatriots behind them. This time... they failed to trust General Qiao.

Thinking of General Qiao, the hearts of all the Yong soldiers suddenly trembled, and they all looked at the tall figure standing in front of them.

No, the general cannot die with them!

The general is the pinnacle of the Yong Dynasty. He should be alive to wait for the reinforcements, and then regroup with them and drive the northern thieves out of the house!

"General!"

Everyone looked at each other and rushed forward in unison, blocking Qiao Zhongguo behind them.

At this critical moment of life and death, no one even had time to ask where Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue had gone. They did not dare to think deeply, fearing that those who were not there might have already...

"General, leave quickly!"

Everyone screamed and raised their spears again. Someone stood close to Qiao Zhongguo and said urgently:

"General, we are outnumbered this time. It is inevitable that we will bury our bones here. From today on, we will stay with the spirit of Wu Ding and wait for the general to come back and regain the mountains and rivers!"

Mo Qiandai sat upright on his horse and saw the Yong army surrounding Qiao Zhongguo, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Today, surrounded by an army of 120,000 people, they actually tried to let Qiao Zhongguo escape?

Qiao Zhongguo did not respond to everyone's persuasion to leave. His chest was burning, but his mind remained clear at all times.

He watched all the Northern troops cross the river with his own eyes. He watched them relax their tense heartstrings one by one, and showed a proud smile that they were sure of victory.

At this point, Qiao Zhongguo also curled his lips.

He stretched out his hand to his side, and Qiao Er, who was still there, understood it and immediately handed over a mottled horn.

Vice General Chang did not dare to miss Qiao Zhongguo's movements, and when he saw Qiao Zhongguo put the horn to his mouth, his face immediately showed sarcasm.

With less than 30,000 people, how dare you blow the charge horn?

Qiao Zhongguo was not distracted. He took a deep breath suddenly, and when he exhaled again, the sound of the charging horn could be heard far away.

Woo——

The sound of the horn blowing became clearer, covering up the Union army's shouts of killing.

When all the Yong soldiers heard the sound, their spirits were shaken. They raised their guns and rushed forward with the sound of the trumpet.

Don't be afraid, don't fear, don't retreat, rather die than surrender!

This is a man's oath, and he should carry it out with his life!

"kill!"

The Northern Army still didn't think so, and confidently raised their spears, and suddenly——

"kill!"

An even more deafening cry of killing suddenly rang out, and the sound seemed to come from... Wuding City!

The Northern Army was shocked, and immediately thought they had heard wrongly.

Yong Jun, who had already risked his life, was also shocked and could not help but turn his head back.

The next moment, without any warning, flags were suddenly erected on the dilapidated Wuding City Tower. On them, the golden word "Yong" was dazzling!

Just when everyone was stunned and confused, the half-burned Wuding city gate suddenly opened from the inside.

Immediately afterwards, countless Yong soldiers dressed in military uniforms rushed out with awe-inspiring murderous intent, shouting loudly:

"Death to the northern thief!"

Chapter 530 The Backbone of Protecting the Country

"Yes...it's reinforcements!"

Someone in Yong's army trembled, tears welling up in his eyes.

The divine soldiers descended from the sky, and they were actually colleagues!

The 30,000 Yong soldiers who had thought they were certain to die were now as if they had been given a shot of blood, and the guns and knives in their hands became more and more sharp and fearless.

At this moment, it was the 40,000 Wuding garrison troops who were left in the city rushing to help.

In the past few months, they had been holding their breath because of the epidemic. They had just hid in the city. They heard the loud shouts of killing outside the city, and they were gearing up and their blood was racing!

The dry wind in Wuding City was brought out by them, mixed with the strong smell of coke, as if to indicate that the Wuding garrison had returned from the cruel epidemic!

"kill!"

Yong Jun's momentum surged, and his attacks were fierce and swift.

The Northern Army did not know the truth. They saw a steady stream of troops rushing out of Wuding City. The enemy's situation was unclear, and the general's orders had not yet arrived. The morale of the army was immediately shaken.

Under this ebb and flow, the Northern Army's formation was rushed to pieces, and the situation on the front line was instantly reversed!

In the distance, when Mo Qiandai saw the Yong-character flag raised from the Wuding Tower, the smile on his lips froze, and an inexplicable chill climbed up his back.

He sat up straight in disbelief. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but he couldn't grasp the clue in a short time.

At this time, Deputy Chang on the side stretched his neck forward and his eyes were bulging, appearing even more shocked than Mo Qiandai.

This...how is this possible! All the 200,000 garrison troops in Wuding were obviously dead!

Deputy Chang held the reins tightly with both hands, his shoulders trembling uncontrollably, and his mind quickly recalled everything that had happened in these days.

When the epidemic first broke out, because Wu Ding had not yet reacted, their spies had witnessed people falling ill and confirmed that the vaccine was successful.

Later, Ren Chong decisively sealed off the city, and no news about Wuding could be spread. The general then ordered him to send people to investigate again.

On that day, Xiang Wenqiu of Nanying came back from exploring the city. He clearly said that the attack of the Wuding defenders was weak and the epidemic was undoubtedly raging...

Recalling Xiang Wenqiu, Deputy General Chang was suddenly startled.

He did not forget that the general's order to him was to kill all the people who visited the city, but that night, only three hundred people were left behind due to the bows, arrows and fire.

Could it be...could the omission come from that visit to the city?

But the epidemic has obviously been spreading from the beginning, and there is no solution in this world!

At this moment, Vice General Chang was extremely scared.

He knew that with the general's temperament, even if his loyalty was unquestionable, if such a big omission was made, the general would definitely kill him on the spot with a knife.

However, he has followed the general for so many years, and after asking himself, what he is more afraid of now is that it will ruin the general's great cause.

Thinking of this, Vice General Chang stared at the Wuding city gate, and then made up his mind to confess his dereliction of duty that night.

But suddenly, his whole body was shaken, and he shouted as if he were surviving a disaster:

"General, it's gone! There is no Yong army behind! It's not two hundred thousand!"

Mo Qiandai also saw that the open Wuding city gate was desolate and scorched black, and there were indeed no more Yong troops behind it.

From this point of view, there are only 40,000 troops hidden in Wuding City.

But where did these 40,000 troops come from? Could it be a survivor of the Wuding garrison?

But they looked in good spirits, how could they seem to have suffered from an epidemic?

Or is it true that the 200,000-strong army was completely wiped out, and these 40,000 people were quietly brought by Qiao Zhongguo when he rushed to the northern border?

But there is still a lingering air of disease in the city, which has hid people in it, and now it is released. Wouldn't this bring about the death of everyone in the world?

Mo Qiandai's face turned pale and his breathing became rapid.

The development of things was vaguely out of his control. He claimed to know Qiao Zhongguo, but at this moment he could not figure out Qiao Zhongguo's plan.

The Northern Army's front line was in chaos under the attack of Yong's army. At this time, 120,000 people still had a huge advantage over 70,000 people. Mo Qiandai knew that he could no longer mess up his position.

Thinking of this, Mo Qiandai shouted coldly: "Quickly give the order to set up the Crane Wing Formation!"

Vice General Chang did not dare to delay and immediately ordered his men to wave the red war flag.

The captains on the left and right wings of the front line were struggling. When they saw the two battle flags of the Chinese army waving crosswise, like a crane spreading its wings, they immediately found the backbone and gave orders at all levels.

"Raise the Crane Wing Formation!"

The Northern troops on the left and right wings are moving!

They rushed across the battlefield in an orderly manner, outflanking them from both sides, and tightly blocked the 70,000 Yong troops in the encirclement.

With an obvious numerical advantage, this formation was indeed effective immediately. The Yong army, which had just killed all sides, had to shrink inward and switch from offense to defense.

When Vice General Chang saw this, the fear and anxiety surging in his heart swirled around, and finally slowly subsided.

Very good! Very good!

Next, we only need to work hard to completely kill Yong Jun here!

"General, my subordinates have invited me to beat the drums to boost morale, swallow up military strength, and help the general achieve his great cause!"

Mo Qiandai took a long breath. He also knew that things would change if things were delayed, so he nodded heavily immediately, "Fight quickly!"

After receiving the approval, Vice General Chang immediately boarded the drum cart nearby, took the drumstick from the drummer's hand, took a deep breath, and then

Boom——

Dong dong dong——

The sound of the drum surged like a torrent, erupting from the drum head, like a dense and wild rainstorm, sweeping the entire venue instantly!

All the Northern soldiers felt their hearts perk up, their blood surged in their bodies, and they blurted out shouts of killing, which was deafening!

Beacon fires raise smoke, swords and guns penetrate flesh and blood. Since ancient times, men have been passionate and willing to prove their truth on the battlefield.

Even before the war, everyone in the Northern Army had doubts about the Northern Royal Court because they heard rumors about Yu Liu, but when the drums sounded and their blood rushed, they still chose to fight for the country!

The shouts of killing were overwhelming, the Northern Army's momentum increased greatly, and there were many people. The Yong Army was outmatched and continued to shrink its defenses. Although it was frightened, it was not chaotic.

They are a group of troops who are not afraid of death. Behind them is Wuding and Beiding. They have no way to retreat and they refuse to retreat.

No matter how loud your voice is, we will still uphold the backbone of protecting the country and fight to the end!

"kill!"

The predecessors fell, and the descendants rushed forward. War has always been cruel, and they became aware when they put on their military uniforms.

Qiao Jiajun rushed to the outermost edge.

They are all veterans who followed Qiao Zhongguo on the battlefield more than ten years ago. They have been through the gate of hell and have seen the most glorious things.

At this time, they did not hesitate to stand in front of all the soldiers, and they did not forget to shout: "You little boy, get in!"

"Don't be afraid. If you are lying on the battlefield today, next year I will be just a flower on the battlefield, hahaha!"

"Then I will become a cow in my next life and work for you, how about you?"

"Hahaha! Hahaha!"

The heroic and hearty laughter rang out, and even the thundering drums couldn't cover it up.

That's what happened to the Qiao family's army. They followed their general, talking carelessly, but with sharp swords in their hands.

No matter what kind of adversity they faced, they would always downplay it in their mouths. At this time, they had already used their tall bodies to build an iron wall for the new recruits behind them.
