Chapter 2012 War Begins
Dong-dong-dong-dong-dong-
The war drums rang loudly, causing Song Hongao, who was discussing with his lieutenants in the camp, to suddenly raise his head and ask, "What happened?"
"Marshal, it's... the war drum of the Yuan Kingdom." A striker shouted loudly outside.
Song Hongao hurriedly walked out of the camp and looked at the desert ahead. The sound of the war drums became louder and louder. This was a signal that the Yuan Kingdom was about to go to war.
"Does the Yuan Kingdom want to take the initiative?" A lieutenant general shouted in surprise, "Are they not clear about the situation? Our troops are at least three times greater than theirs."
Although the two countries always have a war, now that it is the Yuan Kingdom that takes the initiative, it doesn't feel so good.
They are clearly in the upper hand, but why do they feel like they have become the passive party?
"Go and see if the Yuan Kingdom has sent troops." Song Hongao ordered in a deep voice. This was the first time he had seen a weak side take the initiative to attack like this. Unless they were completely sure, no one would be so impulsive.
No, no, the people leading the troops are Lu Yaoyao and Mo Rongzhan. They have always been different.
"Marshal, we must also gather our troops quickly." Another deputy general said.
Soon, the people who went to inquire about the news came back and confirmed that the other party had begun to send troops.
"Blow the horn and accept the battle." Song Hongao ordered.
Zhao Rao had been awakened by the sound of drums. She came out of the tent and asked, "What happened?"
"The war drums of the Yuan Kingdom came." Zhao Xiang's face was heavy, "They are sending troops."
"They..." Zhao Rao slowed down his voice, "They actually provoked us first?"
Song Hongao strode over and said, "Your Majesty, the two armies will fight soon. I will send you back to the city first."
"I want to stay here." Zhao Rao said coldly. She wanted to see Lu Yaoyao's defeat with her own eyes.
"No!" Song Hongao said, "Your Majesty, you are a man of gold, and it is too dangerous here."
Zhao Rao raised his eyes and looked at him, "Do you think Lu Yaoyao can fight here? Can she kill me here?"
If it were anyone else, he could guarantee Zhao Rao's safety, but the other party was Morong Zhan and his wife, so he really wasn't completely sure.
"Your Majesty, with you here, it's hard for everyone to fight with peace of mind." Song Hong'ao said in a deep voice, "Please go back to the city and wait for good news."
Zhao Rao listened to the increasingly urgent sound of the war drums and said, "Okay, I'll go back to the city."
Song Hongao gently nodded to Zhao Xiang next to him, indicating to her to take good care of Zhao Rao.
"Tell me first, can you capture Lu Yaoyao alive?" Zhao Rao asked, staring at Song Hongao.
"I can't guarantee it." Song Hongao said in a deep voice, "I will do my best!"
Zhao Rao looked at him deeply and said, "Okay, I believe you, then how do you plan to answer the challenge?"
"The terrain here is suitable for a sneak attack. I will send 5,000 elite troops to outflank and attack from both sides of Shajiu City. At this time, Shajiu City must be an empty city and it will be easy to attack the city." Song Hongao said.
"Five thousand is too little, at least ten thousand is needed." Zhao Rao did not want to underestimate Lu Yaoyao.
"Yes!" Song Hongao agreed without hesitation.
Zhao Rao nodded lightly.
"Ling Jian, escort your Majesty back to the city." Song Hongao ordered, "Your Majesty will still be able to see everything from the city wall."
"Your Majesty!" Ling Jian looked at Zhao Rao.
Zhao Rao glanced at them, turned around and walked towards the arranged carriage.
After Song Hongao confirmed that Zhao Rao was in the car, he immediately turned around and left the camp. He asked General Qingqi, who had been following Cheng Zheng, to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to outflank Shajiucheng from two directions, while he led the remaining soldiers to fight head-on.
"Marshal, the leader of the troops is... Mo Rongzhan! Shen Luoyang and Jiang Dachuan are his forwards." The soldier who went to inquire about the news came back and said.
"Didn't Mo Rongzhan become blind?" Someone shouted, "Is this a lie?"
Song Hongao ignored the man's words and just asked in a deep voice, "Have you seen Lu Yaoyao?"
"Lu Yaoyao was not found. He may have stayed in the city."
impossible! Lu Yaoyao will not stay in the city, she must be...
Song Hongao's expression suddenly changed. Could it be that she led troops to attack in a sneak attack?
Then she will definitely meet Zhang Youchang. Zhang Youchang was promoted by Cheng Zheng. His marching style and martial arts are similar to Cheng Zheng. If he meets Lu Yaoyao, he will definitely not let him go.
"Marshal, what should we do next?" Someone next to him called Song Hongao.
Song Hongao came to his senses. He and her were now enemies and could no longer be distracted by her.
"Murong Zhan is indeed invisible. If he is the commander-in-chief, we must deal with it more carefully. Looking at their military formation, we can break through it as long as we attack their weakest place." Song Hongao said in a deep voice, and he rode towards Go forward.
The wind was howling and the yellow sand was rolling, and he saw Mo Rongzhan standing on the chariot.
Murong Zhan was wearing black armor, and the sunlight fell on him, like an invincible god.
Song Hongao thought of Mo Rongzhan's former reputation on the battlefield.
He is the god of war.
Even if he is blind, he is still the frightened Mo Rongzhan.
"Kill!" The soldiers of the Yuan Kingdom had high morale, and after approaching the territory of the Qi Kingdom, they let out an earth-shattering roar.
"Soldiers!" Song Hongao shouted loudly, "Who is the patron saint of our Yuan Kingdom?"
"Master Cheng!"
Song Hongao said, "Today, we are fighting for Master Cheng's reputation. Let the soldiers of the Yuan Kingdom see that the soldiers brought by Cheng Zheng are indestructible and cannot be compared to them."
"yes!"
The soldiers of Qi State roared loudly, and their low morale suddenly became excited.
Murong Zhan listened to the roar coming from the opposite side and determined the number of people on the other side. He said to Shen Luoyang in a deep voice, "Change the formation and move forward together."
"What?" Shen Luoyang was stunned. Didn't this scatter their few troops?
"Change the formation!" Jiang Dachuan completely trusted Mo Rongzhan. After hearing his instructions, he immediately ordered to change the formation.
Shen Luoyang lowered his head with a stiff face, knowing that he had committed a taboo in the military.
On the battlefield, as a deputy general, she should not question any of the commander's decisions.
"Go to fight." Mo Rongzhan didn't care about Shen Luoyang's doubts, "I will capture Song Hongao alive."
Shen Luoyang was even more shocked. To capture the thief, capture the king first. However, it was not easy to capture Song Hongao. He was blind, so how could he know where Song Hongao was? However, she only dared to think in her heart, not daring to have any more doubts, and immediately led her elite soldiers forward to fight.
In an instant, yellow sand flew up in the desert, and blood splattered everywhere.
On the other side, Ye Zhen led 5,000 elite soldiers to approach the Yuan Kingdom border on the sand dunes. On the way, she met Zhang Youchang who also planned a sneak attack.
The moment Zhang Youchang saw Ye Zhen, strong anger burst out in his eyes.
"Yaoyao, you really guessed it, they also sent people to sneak attack." Huohuang shouted happily.
