Chapter 257 Empty City Strategy
Some of the soldiers who rushed up from the north wing were hit by the rain of arrows and fell to the ground. The soldiers holding shields also managed to avoid some of the arrows and continued to move forward.
As soldiers fell, the soldiers behind them immediately took their places, one after another.
Because of the raging fire, many soldiers and horses on the northern wing were burned to death. The air was filled with a disgusting smell. Even Su Hanchu couldn't help frowning. He then took a veil and put it on, and took a handkerchief for Jun Moye.
The sound of war drums like thunder echoed across the battlefield.
As the sky darkened, the fire in the ravine was extinguished by the northern wing army.
Jun Moye led a team to open the city gate, rode out of the city gate on a warhorse and looked at the Northern Wing Army calmly.
Seeing this, the Northern King raised his hand to signal the northern wing army to stop charging forward.
"Jun Moye, what tricks are you planning to play?"
Jun Moye smiled calmly.
"King Bei, you're finally here. I thought you were too scared to come last time."
When Geshu Yan heard this, he spoke angrily.
"How dare you, little brat, you really don't know your place. You actually speak so arrogantly. When Laozi was fighting on the battlefield, you were probably still drinking milk."
Jun Moye did not get angry after hearing this, but just looked at the King of the North and Geshu Yan provocatively.
"So what? You were nothing but defeated generals. I, Jun Moye, with the help of the northwest garrison, defeated you and made you flee like stray dogs, didn't I?"
The Northern King was so angry that his beard almost stood up.
"Jun Moye, we've already figured out your true identity. Stop pretending. You're nothing more than a forsaken son of the imperial court, an exiled grandson of the emperor. Do you think you can single-handedly stop our northern wing's 300,000-man army?"
Jun Moye slowly raised the dragon pendant in his hand.
"What makes you think I'm just relying on my own strength? I have the entire Tianyuan behind me. Even if your northern wing cavalry is brave and good at fighting, the men of Tianyuan are no pushovers."
Qingyuan spoke loudly on the left side of the Northern King.
"Jun Moye, stop trying to fool people here. I've already investigated your background. Your Qin Palace was demoted to commoners a year ago because of the defeat in the internal struggle with the current Tianyuan Emperor. Even your parents were plotted and died on the way to exile. It's a huge joke for you to say that you have the entire Tianyuan behind you."
Jun Moye had a confused look on his face as he played with the dragon pendant in his hand, looking very comfortable.
"You, the Northern Wing, are brutal by nature. My grandfather had long foreseen your evil ambitions, so before his death, he specially arranged for me to come to the northwest to watch over you beasts. Although there have been some accidents along the way, it won't stop me from taking your heads. Moreover, what makes you think that your reinforcements have arrived while ours haven't?"
Qingyuan was so angry that he was shaking and spoke through gritted teeth.
"Jun Moye, you only dare to show off your quick words. Today, I will take your head as a sacrifice to my Northern Wing Army flag."
Jun Moye smiled sarcastically and spoke in a cheeky tone.
"Really? Then come here, come and kill me if you can."
Geshu Yan couldn't bear it any longer.
"Charge, kill Jun Moye..."
He took the lead and rushed towards Jun Moye.
Seeing the northern wing's army galloping towards them, Jun Moye spoke loudly.
"Back to the city..."
He turned his horse around and looked back.
However, after entering the city wall, he closed the gate and stayed at the city gate with his men, playing with the jade pendant calmly with a very satisfied look on his face.
The army on the northern wing is still charging forward.
"drive………"
"drive………"
On the city wall, Song Huaian and others personally pulled the bows and arrows and spoke nervously.
"Madam Jun, the enemy is approaching the city gate."
Su Hanchu raised his hand calmly.
"General Song, calm down, trust Jun Moye, and follow his plan."
Song Huaian looked at the northern wing army that was getting closer and closer, and a trace of panic appeared on his face.
Yang Xiaofeng impulsively wanted to shoot the arrow in his hand.
Su Hanchu raised his hand and grasped his arrow feather.
"General Yang, since my husband is commanding this battle, you should obey his orders. If you disagree, you should state it beforehand, rather than changing your mind before the battle. If you insist on going your own way today and ruin this plan, don't blame me for being rude with my sword."
Yang Xiaofeng looked dissatisfied.
"Madam Jun, if Beiyi doesn't fall for their trick and the city gate is breached, who will be held responsible? Although you defeated Beiyi before, it was only by relying on special weapons. You said that the weapon has been used up. How are you going to repel the enemy now?"
Su Hanchu gave him a cold look.
"General Yang, facing a powerful enemy, disobeying the commander's orders is a major taboo in the army. Moreover, as a general, you are not setting an example by disobeying orders like this. If this plan fails, my husband and I will naturally find other ways to take responsibility for this battle. General Yang, this is not the first time you have been unable to distinguish between the important and the unimportant. After the battle is over, you should reflect on it carefully."
At this time, the army on the north wing had already rushed to the front of the city wall.
The King of the North looked at Jun Moye's face and saw no trace of panic on his face. He looked like he was waiting for him to enter the city. Finally, worried that it was a trap, he raised his hand to signal the army to stop.
"Stop, retreat..."
Geshu Yan's face was full of reluctance.
"Northern King, let's rush in right now. Why should we be afraid of him? He must be pretending."
The King of the North looked at Jun Moye's calm expression and finally gave the order again.
"Follow my orders, retreat. Anyone who disobeys will be executed immediately."
Then he turned his horse around.
"drive………"
Geshu Yan and Master Qingyuan looked at Jun Moye unwillingly, and finally had to follow the King of the North to evacuate.
"Retreat, retreat... retreat..."
Watching the northern wing army galloping away, Jun Moye breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Xiao's grip on the spear loosened slightly.
"Sir, you are indeed as good as a god."
Jun Moye raised his hand and waved.
"Close the city gate."
The city gates were quickly closed by soldiers.
Su Hanchu on the city wall glanced at Yang Xiaofeng coldly.
"General Yang, don't mess around next time. If I hadn't stopped your arrow today, not only would the North Wing not have retreated, but this city wall would have been a river of blood."
Jun Moye had already walked towards the city wall.
He took the telescope from Su Hanchu's hand and looked at the retreating northern wing army.
"We finally tricked them today. We don't know when our reinforcements will arrive. The disparity in strength is too great. We'll just have to hold out for as long as we can."
Ten miles northwest.
The northern wing army temporarily camped here.
The King of the North looked at Master Qingyuan and spoke in a cold voice.
"Huyan Zan, find out as soon as possible whether the reinforcements from the northwest have really arrived."
