Chapter 104 A desperate battle, Shen Tang suddenly came
Chapter 104: Shocking News, Mu Yu’s Silly Words
It was not until a few days later that most of the soldiers set off, but both Shao Muyu and Shen Tang seemed to have forgotten about the tent.
After more than ten days in a row, the situation at the front was finally reported back.
The Urad army was already stationed outside Tongbai Mountain, but the Zaoyang Army and the Wuwei Army, which had arrived a step earlier, had already built extremely strong camps, fortifications, etc. and defended themselves on the mountain! The Jin soldiers also provoked an attack. He tried several times, but Bian Xi did not fall into the trap. However, Chen Bing did not engage in close combat with Jin Bing on Tongbai Mountain.
For a time, the Song army did not leave the city, and the Jin soldiers were unable to capture the heavily defended Tongbai Mountain fortifications, but the two sides fell into a stalemate.
After receiving this news, Ye Xiao couldn't help but frown and think. Once the war reached a stalemate, it would not be able to end in a short time except to break the stalemate.
After thinking for a long time, Shen Tang couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. He finally wanted to take the scientific examination, but he encountered such a thing. He had no choice but to leave first, or go to Jiangnan to make plans.
However, just when Shen Tang was about to leave, a sudden news disrupted his plan again.
"Mr. Shen, there is news from the North. It is said that not long ago, a Song army of about a thousand people appeared outside Tongbai Mountain and even fought with the Jin soldiers. However, they were outnumbered. He was defeated by the Jin soldiers and is now missing. And the general who led the troops is probably the General Xin that the young master mentioned!" Shao Muyu appeared in front of Shen Tang and said anxiously.
"What!"
Ye Xiao stood up suddenly, with a bit of worry in his surprise. He was happy that Brother Xin was still alive, but he was worried that there were 20,000 golden soldiers outside Tongbai Mountain. If he was surrounded by them, he wanted to escape. It will definitely be difficult to reach the sky.
"I want to go to Tongbai Mountain!" Shen Tang said immediately.
Although, even if he reaches Tongbai Mountain, it is almost impossible to help Xin Qiji. But now that he knows that Xin Qiji is in danger outside, how can he wait here?
"Okay, then I will go with the young master!" Shao Mu said in response.
"No!" Tens of thousands of troops were fighting in Tongbai Mountain. How could Shen Tang let Shao Muyu take danger?
Seeing Shen Tang's objection, Shao Muyu said quietly: "Master, before you rescued me alone, and you and I escaped together, but now I am just accompanying you north. Do you want Master to reject Muyu too?" Moreover, Mu Yu promises that after arriving at Tongbai Mountain, he will stay in General Bian’s camp. With tens of thousands of soldiers guarding him, there will be no accidents!"
Shao Muyu's persistence forced Shen Tang to retreat!
So, the two of them packed up and left the two little girls waiting in the camp, while they took Shao Muyu's two hundred dead soldiers and followed a group of soldiers transporting food towards the Tongbai Mountain. Go in a mighty direction.
In the afternoon of the second day, the group arrived at the Tongbai Mountain Camp.
Different from the Tongbai Mountain that we passed before, at this moment, a huge fortress rises from the ground in the col of Tongbai Mountain! There are densely packed and extremely solid fortifications built on the slopes on both sides of the col.
Teams of soldiers were on top of the fortress, using wooden strongholds to guard against the Jin soldiers in the distance. Countless civilians were either harvesting wood or building camps, all of them were extremely busy!
After entering the camp, the two of them came directly to Bian Xi's Chinese army tent!
Bian Xi couldn't help being surprised when he saw Shen Tang and Shao Muyu coming!
"General Bian, I want to know what's going on with the Song army outside Tongbai Mountain!" Shen Tang said directly.
Bian Xi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The number of soldiers there was not large, only about 1,500. Not long ago, they wanted to raid the Jin camp, but in the end they were outnumbered and defeated by the Jin! What's left is Hundreds of remnant soldiers fled towards the Queshan area in the northeast. The Jin soldiers were pursued by one or two thousand cavalry. According to reports from spies, that single soldier was besieged in Magan Mountain. As for the current situation, it is unknown."
Having said this, Bian Xi couldn't help but sigh, "Those remaining soldiers lacked horses, and even food and grass were extremely scarce. They were no match for nearly two thousand gold soldiers. Maybe they have been wiped out now."
When Shen Tang heard this, he couldn't help but feel anxious!
His expression changed for a moment, and he suddenly said: "General, I wonder if you can lend me a soldier!"
"What are you going to do?" Bian Xi frowned upon hearing this.
"The general who led the troops is probably my sworn brother. He was trapped in the northern part of the Kingdom of Jin before. Now that there is news, no matter what, I have to go and investigate!" Shen Tang said solemnly.
Bian Xi frowned and did not answer. First of all, he had no friendship with Shen Tang. Moreover, if he lent his soldiers to Shen Tang, once he went to the north, he might not be able to come back! He already had few soldiers. If he was injured again for no reason, , naturally reluctant.
"General, I hope you can help me!" Shao Muyu said suddenly.
Bian Xi's expression condensed. He could ignore Shen Tang, but he had to give Shao Muyu face.
After pondering for a moment, General Bian finally said: "I don't know how many soldiers Mr. Shen needs!"
"It only takes a few hundred!" Shen Tang said happily.
"Okay!" General Bian gritted his teeth and nodded, "In that case, I will lend you eight hundred fine cavalry!"
Bian Xi only had about 1,500 cavalry under his command. Now, he lent most of them, namely Shao Muyu, who had such a great reputation. If it were Shen Tang, it would be impossible for him to have even one soldier.
"I still have two hundred dead men, who will also go with the young master!" Shao Muyu on the side also said loudly...
Outside the camp, thousands of war horses were lined up. Shen Tang was wearing black armor and holding a spear in his hand! According to the information Bian Xi gave him, there is a narrow mountain road about a hundred miles eastward that can be crossed directly. Tongbai Mountain goes to the land of Jin Kingdom.
Apart from Bian Xi, the only person seeing him off was Shao Muyu.
At this moment, Shao Muyu's eyes were a little red! She did not expect that she would face the separation of life and death again!
Looking across the mountain, to the north is the land of the Kingdom of Jin. At this moment, the two countries are competing, and even Bian Xi does not have the courage to lead his troops northward. Because there is a way forward, but no way back! Once there, life or death is uncertain.
Shao Muyu couldn't bear it any longer when he saw Shen Tang and was about to run away.
She lifted up her skirt, ran forward, and shouted loudly in the direction of Shen Tang.
"Shen Tang!"
Shen Tang turned his horse and looked back, their eyes facing each other!
"Tang Shen, if you can't come back after you go, then I, Shao Muyu, will kill the Urad clan at all costs to bury you! Even if I sacrifice the entire Shao family for this, I will never regret it!"
After a slight pause in his words, Shao Muyu shouted again: "You and I are connected by blood, and we have shared life and death together! Mu Yu's heart has long been captured by you. If you can come back safely, please marry me!"
At this moment, Shao Muyu was not shy at all! Her eyes were fixed on Shen Tang, maybe this parting was the difference between life and death!
The world was quiet, as if thousands of soldiers and countless birds and beasts in the mountain were waiting for Shen Tang's answer!
