Chapter 123 No, senior should trust His Highness more!
"The bright moon is supreme, and we will not rest until death!"
Outside Yuehai Mansion City, Lan Yuehou was holding a scimitar and riding a horse.
The soldiers of the Mingyue Army followed closely behind and launched another charge.
The sword comes out like a practicing wrap, carrying the drizzle and gushing out.
Suddenly, the world became very quiet.
Thunder roared and exploded in the sky, just like the atmosphere on the battlefield at this time, it was extremely chilling.
The condensed sword energy burst into brilliant light under the illumination of lightning.
The sword energy was several feet long and swept out.
The next moment.
Dozens of soldiers in front were cut off at the waist, and scarlet blood spread, mixed with the drizzle, and echoed with the thunder.
Lan Yuehou's eyes were bright, and there was no smile or even any emotion on his handsome face.
"The bright moon is supreme, and we will not rest until death!"
He raised his knife and shouted loudly.
The blood drops on the blade slipped and fell on his wet brocade robe.
"The bright moon is supreme, and we will not rest until death!"
The shouts were so loud that they even overwhelmed the thunder in the sky.
"Array up!"
Lan Yuehou shouted again.
The soldiers of the Mingyue Army galloping behind them changed positions in an instant, some stepped forward, and some slowed down. They looked chaotic, but they changed positions in an orderly manner.
In the blink of an eye, the original cone-shaped charge formation turned into a formation like a full-moon scimitar.
This is not an ordinary formation change, but a real military formation.
As the formation change ended, a faint fluorescent light enveloped all the soldiers of the Mingyue Army.
The fluorescence is as cool as the moonlight, and also like a faint barrier, isolating the dense rain.
"Archery!"
From the gloomy sky, an overwhelming rain of arrows came.
Lan Yuehou raised his head and glanced, his expression unwavering, he just drove his horse forward and charged.
Rumble~~~
Thunder roared and horses galloped.
The rain of arrows fell in the Mingyue Army Formation, falling on every soldier.
However, these arrows were as if they were shot on steel. They did not hurt the soldiers at all and were all bounced away.
Seeing this from a distance, Mao Jiang's pupils suddenly condensed.
Coming!
The most terrifying power of the Mingyue Army is here!
Military formation is a magical and incomparable force.
In the entire Dali, only the Mingyue Army has the ability to form military formations.
It can make soldiers immune to all attacks.
Dong dong dong~~
The sound of war drums began to vibrate again, and rows of gun formations appeared in the front line of the army. Densely packed spears protruded from the gaps in the shields, arming the front line of the army like hedgehogs.
When Lan Yuehou saw this, a glint flashed in his eyes.
He swung his sword again to kill dozens of enemies in front of him, and then rushed straight towards the hedgehog-like military formation.
"The bright moon is supreme, and we will not rest until death!"
A roar sounded.
The silver waves crashed into the gun array.
Spears were broken, shields were shattered, and countless soldiers screamed in agony amid the galloping horses.
The awe-inspiring spear array was shattered like a bubble in an instant.
Countless soldiers were directly submerged under the chaotic hooves of horses.
Of course, many Mingyue Army cavalry fell in front of the spear formation, but the Mingyue Army did not stop their charge.
The war horses stepped on the bodies of their companions and the corpses of the enemies, and continued to attack resolutely.
The bright moon is supreme, and we will not rest until death!
This is not a slogan, this is the belief of the Mingyue Army.
They are not afraid of death, and even if they die in battle, they will use their bodies to support their comrades and continue to charge.
Even if they are defeated, they will fight to the death with the enemy.
They will not retreat, they will only charge, either breaking through the enemy's camp or dying on the way to the charge.
Deathly faith is what makes the Mingyue Army one against ten.
Seeing the Mingyue Army breaking through the front army's formation again, Mao Jiang's face became extremely ugly.
He knew that the Mingyue Army was very strong, and he also understood where the Mingyue Army was strong. He made a lot of preparations.
Horse traps, spear formations, etc. were all countermeasures that he had thought about for a long time.
But none of these could resist the Mingyue Army, which made him feel a little heavy.
At this time, the Mingyue Army was no more than a hundred feet away from his commanding flag. If he could not stop the Mingyue Army from charging, he would be submerged in the waves of the Mingyue Army.
"One last trick!"
Mao Jiang turned his head and looked back.
That was his last resort against the Mingyue Army.
If this move still fails to work, then he will definitely fail in this battle.
Just as he was looking back, Song Chen in the distance raised the sword in his hand again.
The battle flag waved, and bursts of urgent and hoarse shouts sounded from behind the army.
Immediately afterwards, crossbow arrows flew out from behind.
There were no more than a hundred crossbow arrows, which looked very sparse and did not seem to pose any threat.
But Lan Yuehou couldn't help but his expression changed slightly.
"Damn, Chang Pinghou can actually come up with such a sinister trick!"
He couldn't help but curse secretly.
Because the flying crossbow arrows were all hung with a fishing net.
Fishing net!
How could this thing be used on the battlefield? Chang Pinghou couldn't think of it.
But I have to say that this move is really difficult for the Mingyue Army.
The fishing net was thrown down and wrapped around the bodies of the Mingyue Army soldiers, causing many Mingyue Army soldiers to flip over in an instant.
It was obviously just a simple fishing net, but it completely disrupted the Mingyue Army's military formation and slowed down the Mingyue Army's charge.
Just when Lan Yuehou was still complaining, a sharp sword light suddenly rushed towards him.
Lan Yuehou raised his sword to block.
"Hahaha, I knew that Chang Pinghou had someone to support me, but I didn't expect that it would be you!"
He looked at Gong Yunshan standing in front of him and laughed.
"Retreat or die!" Gong Yunshan said coldly.
"Haha~~"
Lan Yuehou still laughed.
His laughter became more bold and hearty.
This is not because he is pretending, but because he is really happy at this moment.
Because in his opinion, when he came to Yunzhou to suppress the rebellion, his biggest opponent was not Chang Pinghou, but the forces and people behind Changping Hou.
"I remembered a sentence, and I am not ashamed to say it!"
Lan Yuehou jumped up and slashed down with the scimitar in his hand.
"Do you think this is your Happy Island?"
The blade is as white as thunder.
Gong Yunshan's expression changed slightly, and he raised the sword in his hand.
The swords collided, and the violent energy spread out, cutting off thousands of rain lines.
Lan Yuehou grinned, his scimitar was like the moon, reflecting thousands of lights.
Click!
A crisp voice sounded, and the pupils in Gong Yunshan's eyes suddenly condensed.
The next moment.
The long sword in his hand turned into fragments and shot out.
"How is that possible?"
He couldn't help but exclaimed.
Lan Yuehou turned his wrist, and the scimitar rotated like a delicate snow-white flower.
"It seems that you don't know much about me!"
Gong Yunshan retreated and stared at Lan Yuehou in disbelief.
He really didn't know much about Lan Yuehou. He only knew that Lan Yuehou had eight thousand Mingyue troops under his command. He knew that Lan Yuehou had innate cultivation, but he didn't know what Lan Yuehou's strength was.
In other words, few people know about the entire Dali, both inside and outside.
With an indifferent smile on his face, Lan Yuehou leaned forward, and the scimitar in his hand struck Gong Yunshan again with an icy cold light.
Gong Yunshan did not dare to fight forcefully now and quickly retreated.
Although the surrounding Mingyue Army became a little messy due to the entanglement of fishing nets, the soldiers who were not covered by the fishing nets continued to charge.
The curved blade was wrapped in rain and blood, and rushed into the endless enemy troops under the sound of horse hooves.
Mao Jiang looked at the Mingyue Army that was barely stopping, and his mind suddenly sank to the bottom of his heart.
Although the fishing net move caused a lot of trouble for the Mingyue Army, it still did not stop the Mingyue Army.
And once the Mingyue Army is not stopped from charging, the tens of thousands of troops under his command will have only one result, and that is to be pierced by the Mingyue Army.
At this point, the outcome of this battle has basically been determined.
The Mingyue Army may suffer heavy casualties, but he no longer has the confidence to win.
Turning his eyes, Mao Jiang looked at Gong Yunshan who was retreating, shook his head helplessly and said: "Mingjin retreats!"
Dang Dang Dang~~
On the battlefield, the panicked frontier troops began to retreat.
Mao Jiang and Song Chen looked at each other across thousands of soldiers, then nodded slightly, then rode towards the rear and galloped away.
Although Mao Jiang left, his handsome flag still slowly withdrew to Yuehai Fucheng.
…
North of Xinning Prefecture, Shuzhou.
Di Renjie stood on a dangerous peak, looking at the green valley below.
Beside him, a white-haired old man was wearing a loose green shirt and had a stern expression.
This old man is Lu Jiuchen, the innate warrior from Baiyin Valley.
In the valley below, green smoke billowed, and the cries of killing could not be heard.
"It seems that Li Zhongxian is not here!"
Lu Jiuchen said softly.
Di Renjie nodded slightly, "I just received a message that Li Zhongxian appeared near Xin'an Fucheng two days ago."
The valley here is the stronghold of the Shuzhou Holy Cult in Xinning Prefecture for manufacturing crossbow armor, and this time Di Renjie and Baiyin Valley's goal is to clear this stronghold.
"Xin'an Mansion! What did he do in Xin'an Mansion?" Lu Jiuchen was a little confused.
Di Renjie chuckled and said: "What else can you do, isn't it just for His Highness?"
"Prince Xin'an!" Lu Jiuchen's eyes flashed with vicissitudes of life.
The battle between Baiyin Valley and the Holy Cult is no longer a day or two. In fact, since three years ago, the two sides have been fighting to the death. However, the strength of the two sides is not much different, so until now, there is no winner.
And this time the Holy Cult of Shuzhou has joined the camp of Changping Hou, then naturally they from Baiyin Valley will join the Chaotang camp.
So after Di Renjie visited Baiyin Valley, Lu Jiuchen agreed to Di Renjie's conditions without hesitation.
But until now, he is still wary of the Prince of Xin'an County and the court.
He pondered for a while and said softly: "Lord Di, what kind of person is His Highness the County Prince?"
Di Renjie glanced at him in surprise, and said with a smile: "Senior, there is no need to worry, His Highness is not a person who goes back on his word."
He knew what Lu Jiuchen was worried about, it was just that he was afraid of killing the donkey.
"Tianzhou Zhenwu Division has proved that His Highness has no prejudice against the sect's power, and also proved that His Highness will keep his promise."
Lu Jiuchen looked at Di Renjie, nodded slightly, and said, "I believe in Master Di!"
"No, senior should trust His Highness more!" Di Renjie said with a smile.
Lu Jiuchen smiled helplessly, "I can't feel at peace until I see him!"
"But Master Di is right in front of me. I think Master Di is an upright person."
Di Renjie couldn't help but smile a little.
However, he didn't say anything more, and just silently watched the battle at the bottom of the mountain.
The battle lasted only two quarters of an hour and came to an end.
Hong Fei and Xiao Wu came to the top of the mountain.
"Lord Qi, all the rebels in the mountain have been put to death!" Hong Fei reported.
Di Renjie nodded and said: "Clean the battlefield, transport all the soldiers and armor here back to the city, and contact the prince. We need more information from the Holy Religion."
"Here!" Hong Fei said.
…
In the northern part of Shuzhou, Lushan Weisi.
Yuan Shizhe stared at the map of the entire Shuzhou in the main hall of the Wei Si Yamen. Several Wei Si officials also stood next to him and looked at the map on the table.
"The situation in Shuzhou City has not been fully investigated yet?" Yuan Shizhe asked angrily.
"Sir, the people we sent out haven't come back yet." An official next to him said helplessly.
News of the rebellion in Shuzhou City only reached the Lushan Guards three days ago, and the people they sent out to find out the information were not expected to come back for another two days.
It's no wonder that their news lags behind. After all, they are just a Wei Si Yamen and do not have their own intelligence system.
But now the entire Shuzhou is in chaos, and the Dusi Yamen seems to be in vain. There is no one to deliver news and intelligence to them.
Therefore, now Yuan Shizhe only knows that many rebels have appeared in Shuzhou, but he does not know the specific situation at all.
"We can't wait any longer, let's go to Shuzhou City first!"
Yuan Shizhe said in a deep voice.
"Sir, we cannot lead our troops out of the camp without the command from the capital!" said the official next to him.
The reason for restricting Yuan Shizhe's actions was none other than the order issued by Liu Yuanrang.
At the beginning, Liu Yuanrang, in order to avoid chaos among the various military divisions, strictly ordered each division of defense not to leave the camp without an order from the capital division.
At that time, Liu Yuanrang did not expect that things would develop to such an extent. As a result, this order not only failed to restrict rebellion, but instead became a shackles for the various military departments.
Yuan Shizhe said: "If the city of Shuzhou falls, then Dusi Yamen will definitely fall into the hands of the enemy. Now it is impossible for us to wait for Dusi's order."
"Shuzhou City should not fall!"
Yuan Shizhe shook his head and said: "The rebels' first target must be Shuzhou City. I estimate that Shuzhou City has already fallen into the hands of the enemy."
Several officials looked at each other.
They were not sure whether Yuan Shizhe's guess was correct, but if Shuzhou City really fell into the hands of the enemy, then they certainly could not continue to huddle in the Lushan Guards.
While they were discussing countermeasures, a soldier quickly ran into the hall.
"Your Majesty, there is an order from Dusi Yamen!"
Yuan Shizhe was slightly stunned and asked quickly: "Where are the people?"
"Outside the door!"
"Please quickly!" Yuan Shizhe said eagerly.
After a while, a veteran soldier came to the hall.
"Anning Army Flag Officer Wang Shan pays homage to your lord!"
"Where are the military orders?" Yuan Shizhe asked.
Wang Shan quickly handed him the letter in his hand.
Yuan Shizhe looked at the contents of the letter, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked a little surprised.
"Whose hand does this military order come from?"
"His Royal Highness the Prince of Xin'an County!"
"Why His Royal Highness the Prince of Xin'an County?"
Wang Shandao: "Shuzhou City was occupied by rebels. The commander of the capital, Liu Yuanrang, commanded his colleague Ji Fei to escape to Xinning Mansion."
"His Royal Highness the County Prince has formed the Anning Army based on the Anning Guards. Now it has occupied Xin'an Prefecture and is heading south to recover the southern Shu region."
Wang Shan told everything he knew.
Yuan Shizhe frowned, "What about Shuzhou City?"
"I don't know how humble my position is," Wang Shan said.
Yuan Shizhe's frown deepened.
For the entire Shuzhou, Shuzhou City is the most important, but now the king of Xin'an County is going south, and he has been ordered to go to the west of Shuzhou.
He didn't quite understand why Qin Wei didn't take back Shuzhou City first.
He hesitated for a long time and then said: "Go back and report to His Highness, and tell me that I will act in accordance with His Highness's orders."
Yuan Shizhe wanted to take back Shuzhou City first, but he had to obey Qin Wei's order. After all, it still had Liu Yuanrang's official seal on it.
So after hesitating for a while, he decided to follow Qin Wei's order.
