Chapter 87: Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period (26) The Fiery Female General (…
Under the beautiful moonlight, the red-dressed woman who jumped down the city wall was as light as a swallow. The red flag in her hand fluttered in the wind. This bright and eye-catching red color made her a living target in the eyes of the enemy. The
gates of Chuyang City were clearly open, but in Zhao Lie's eyes, there was only that touch of red. He couldn't wait to point forward and said, "Shoot!" He
didn't even need to say the name. The crossbow and archery teams of Zhao Jun knew that their general was talking about Who is it.
In an instant, the crossbowmen and archers outside the eight miles shot in the same direction almost at the same time. There were tens of thousands of dense arrows, all shot from all directions, all towards the lower right middle section of the city wall.
Ye Mo pursed his lips slightly, a hard iron block fell from the long sleeve of his left arm, he stepped with his right foot, his body swayed, and moved a distance to the lower right, just avoiding the most dense copper arrows.
He changed his hands to hold the red flag, swept up and down to scatter the remaining arrows, and finally touched the ground smoothly, bent and half squatted to reduce the feet After a second, she jumped and successfully dodged the arrows again.
After six or seven times, Ye Mo would definitely not be unscathed. When blocking the arrows, she only had to keep alive, and persistence was the key to victory!
Because there were too many arrows, she added 3 points to her physique, 4 points to her agility, and 2 points to her strength. The free point attributes had to be used to the fullest at this moment.
Compared with her, Zhaojun's assault team suffered heavy casualties.
After Ye Mo jumped down, she flew Axes and Zhaojun arrows were fired as if they were free, and they fired dozens of waves in dense rows. The enemy even suffered many casualties among the shield soldiers, and ordinary soldiers were even more accurate.
When the army was in chaos, only those with strong wills in the team continued to fight, while the others were like headless flies, running around in a panic.
All of this proved that the firing speed, quantity, and multi-functional attributes of the opponent's crossbow carts were far inferior to the array crossbow carts that Ye Mo and his brothers in the Mo family had improved many times.
The system voice kept on -
[Congratulations to the survivor Ye Mo for assisting our army in killing enemies (100/100) in the "Spring and Autumn and Warring States" dungeon, completing side mission 7, free point attribute +2. ]
[Complete side mission 8: Assist in killing enemies (500/500), free point attribute +2. ]
[Complete side mission 9: Assist in killing enemies (1000/1000), free point attribute +2. ]
[Survivor Ye Mo has been detected to have broken through the mental critical point, mental attribute +1] × 3.
[Survivor Ye Mo has been detected to have broken through the agility critical point, agility attribute +1] × 3.
[Survivor Ye Mo has been detected to have broken through the strength critical point, strength attribute +1].
...
Zhao Lie was so angry that his liver almost exploded, and his whole body was shaking. Where did this woman in red come from? Their elite Chu army's crossbowmen and archers couldn't do anything to her!
Even the usually rational military advisor clenched his fists, wishing he could chop off the legs of the woman in red and make her jump all the time.
The crossbowmen and archers on the Chuyang city wall didn't dare to look down, and the other generals were so scared that they had a heart attack, let alone applauding . Those densely packed arrows seemed to hit their bodies.
Ye Mo dodged flexibly under the city wall, while they seemed to be pierced by thousands of arrows on the city wall.
How was this feeling different from that of Zhao Lie and the others?
The local officials finally understood that the young lady was lying when she said she couldn't escape. With her martial arts that were unrivaled in the world, it was really not a difficult thing for her to escape from the State of Chu. Even every country wanted her to be a general, so there was no need to worry about having no way out.
But the young lady stayed. What could be the purpose of her staying? Of course, it was for the Lord of Yangcheng! For the great man of Mo Men! For Chuyang City! For the people of Chuyang City!
The officials covered their hearts with tears in their eyes.
Ye Mo was such a successful target that both the Chu army and the Zhao army ignored the wide-open gate of Chuyang City for a quarter of an hour. Only some stray arrows shot in.
The city gate: "..."
The grass wall behind the city gate: "..."
The army behind the grass wall: "..."
The first difficult plan failed, and the second hell plan was in progress. Perhaps the young lady had expected this when she chose to wear red clothes, and used the city gate to distract attention just to appease people.
"Hahaha! Sister Jing! Beautiful job!" After Wang Xue laughed up to the sky, she picked up the drum and beat the last military music she played before going to the battle on the city wall.
The red flags were flying and the drums were roaring.
...
The military advisor looked at the heavy casualties of the assault team and the distance between the assault team and Chuyang City. He then remembered the city gate and Ye Mo who had been jumping in front of the city gate, and reminded Zhao Lie.
So Zhao Lie immediately gave an order to let the remaining tens of thousands of elites of the assault team rush forward to assault Chuyang City. They were fighting a group battle, not an individual battle!
'Oh, I've reacted.'
Ye Mo stopped jumping in place and waited for about three seconds before waving the red flag and running forward to face the Chu Army assault team. At the same time, the archers of Chuyang City stopped shooting arrows and flying crossbows. Zhao Lie 's
eyebrows jumped, and he had a bad feeling.
But when she was about 8 meters away from the assault team, Ye Mo threw the red flag in her hand to the oncoming Chu army, then jumped on the spot, pulled out the bronze sword inlaid with jasper (strength ⊕ 10, agility ⊕ 12, constitution ⊕ 12), and flew directly into the Chu army that was lost in sight.
With the sword in her hand, she harvested heads cleanly and neatly. When the red flag fell to the ground, she had avoided the lives of more than 50 soldiers. [Complete side mission 5: Kill soldiers (100/100), free point attribute +2].
Those who were seriously injured by the flying axe and sword could not escape the sweep of Ye Mo's mental power. There was no need to make up for it. Just light work could make up for it, so as to prevent them from creating obstacles and crises for herself.
"Kill her for me! Whoever kills this woman will be rewarded with 100 gold coins and 100 steps, and promoted by one rank." Zhao Lie was almost crazy.
It was the military advisor next door who asked the archers in his team to stop shooting and help the general, because if they shot now, they would kill their own troops, but he didn't dare to give advice to the furious Zhao Lie.
The military advisor looked at the distance between the assault team and the city wall, and the distance from the support team. The Chu army was in a very awkward position, which was probably calculated by the opponent.
If the Chu army took a step forward, he bet that the army of Chuyang City would also come out of the city gate.
The two armies were not afraid of the number of people in the battle, but now the Chu army was completely exhausted, and it was even more unknown how many people like the woman in red and unknown traps the other side had.
It was not right to advance, and it was unwilling to retreat.
From the beginning to the end, they were fooled by this Chuyang City. The Mo Sect was really powerful.
The military advisor frowned:
"Who is this woman in red?"
...
Hearing Zhao Lie's order, the Chu Army assault team also reacted quickly. They now had no formation and no longer cared about the war horses, but they had a common goal of enemies.
Knives, swords, sticks, guns, hammers, arrows, hooks... 18 kinds of weapons, everything is available.
Ye Mo has learned martial arts for more than half a month and has more than 30 kinds of swordsmanship, but now she has only two ideas in her mind-hiding and killing. All swordsmanship and footwork are for killing enemies and self-protection.
Or shuttle through the crowd, or fly over people's heads, the feet can kill, and the sword will hurt.
What was even more terrifying was that there were also soldiers cooperating in the sneak attack, but Ye Mo seemed to have eyes all over his body, so their sneak attack was very difficult. Finally, they succeeded in the sneak attack with a large number of people, but what they faced was the opponent's intact arm.
Then, there was no more, and all the sneak attackers died.
Ye Mo was wearing a red dress, and her armor was also among the red clothes. The red dress was stained with layers of blood. They didn't know whether it was her injury or the blood of the soldiers. The more they killed, the more desperate they
became. That touch of red never left the sight of the two armies. They witnessed a miracle, not one against a hundred, but one against a thousand, one against ten thousand. Such a scene may be unforgettable for a lifetime.
Wang Xue: "Dong Dong Dong Qiang!"
Wang Qi: "The boss is a thousand miles a day, I am 10 meters a day, please tell me the distance between me and the boss."
Reservists' fans: "I look up to the big boss!"
If the reservists who joined the army before still had a misunderstanding of the big boss, now they can no longer look down on her. Those who have said bad things about the big boss even feel that her knife is cutting their necks. Now they have no other thoughts except looking up to her.
Zhang San and other agents were speechless.
This Li Jing may be much more powerful than Lani Shannon in the Irish town copy. I can't help but pay more attention to the survivor APP. In modern times, Li Jing is also a person who can resist ten thousand troops!
Li Si emphasized:
"Li Jing is Chinese."
...
Zhao Lie had been fooled too many times, and was so angry that his hands had deep blood grooves. Finally, he realized that he couldn't continue like this. He looked at the gate of Chuyang City and the 180,000 or 190,000 soldiers around.
"Zhao swears that I will bloodbath Chuyang City in the future to avenge today's bloody hatred!"
After struggling for a while, he finally gave the order to retreat.
The remaining people of the assault team were more than 20,000 people, and they also received the order to retreat, but Ye Mo chased and killed them for two or three miles.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Lie hesitated again, and was persuaded by the military advisor with the words "General, this is a trap."
At this moment, Ye Mo flew forward a hundred meters. A flying axe flew out from the fleeing commandos. The target was none other than Zhao Lie. The assassination target this time was single and clear: Zhao Lie.
"General!"
"General!"
"General!"
Zhao Lie was hit on the head by an axe and fell off his horse. Now, the Chu army was leaderless.
Although Ye Mo did not hear the system prompt, he still slipped out a wooden whistle from his sleeve and blew it.
"Swish--"
A clear whistle broke through the sky. Ye Mo put his sword down and pointed it forward, uttering a word: "Go!"
...
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
At the same time, the 80,000 soldiers led by the three generals of Chuyang City, Zhang San, Gong Ziyi, Bai Hu, and a survivor finally rushed out of the city gate, with a deafening sound.
The Chuyang City army had less than 200 horses, but these 200 horses were fully equipped and could temporarily ignore the iron nails and stones in the grass, which had been matched many times in advance.
It only took the soldiers one hour to go from being nervous and afraid at the beginning to being passionate now.
Wang Xue, the single general, was the first to catch up with the Chu army except Ye Mo.
Because of Ye Mo's shadow, even though Wang Xue was not wearing red clothes, the enemy was a little weak when they saw the female soldier, but she was not afraid of her swordsmanship. She kept killing and killing, and she was a fierce and powerful general.
The other teams quickly caught up with the demoralized Chu army. Whether it was weapons with attributes or weapons without attributes, the overall level of Chuyang City was much higher than that of the Chu army.
In group battles, they naturally gained an advantage.
In the end, Ye Mo's army won the siege battle by successfully occupying the opponent's 20-li garrison. Of the 300,000 Chu troops, only 80,000 or 90,000 escaped, and the rest were all defeated outside Chuyang City.
The Chu general Zhao Lie died.
[Congratulations to the survivor Ye Mo for leading the Yangcheng Army to victory in the siege in the 'Spring and Autumn and Warring States' instance, completing special side mission 3, free point attribute +4. ]
[Complete side mission 13: Kill the main general (1/1), free point attribute +4. ]
When Ye Mo heard about Zhao Lie's death, she felt a little relieved. Even if this instance was a game world, she didn't want to leave the hatred she had drawn to Chuyang City.
"Long live the young lady!"
They won the battle to defend the city! I don't know which reservist shouted this simple and straightforward slogan, and the soldiers followed suit and howled like ghosts and wolves. Finally, the unified shouts of the warriors rang out outside the entire Chuyang City. There was
even a little echo.
Later, some soldiers even sang the vigorous Chu tune about tonight's battle, such as "Zai Xi" and so on. Wang Xue was very happy and sang along with them.
Ye Mo didn't understand, but he thought it sounded good. He hummed a few sentences and finally didn't sing out of tune.
Wang Xue:
"The name of this poem is 'Women Generals'!"
"Women Generals! Women Generals! Women Generals!" The soldiers echoed loudly.
...
When the people of Chuyang City learned that the Chu army was outside and the city gates were closed, they fell into despair of the end of the world; when they learned that there would be a battle to defend the city tonight, many families gathered together to wait for death; some people rolled up their sleeves and prepared to join the army, and the army recorded their names in the logistics team.
"Don't you need to join the army? Can I also take a knife to the battlefield?"
"I can!"
"We can all!"
In times of crisis, there will always be a small number of unsung heroes who choose to stand up bravely, regardless of life or death.
Ye Mo had them rejected, but the officials still secretly wrote down the names of several young men who looked good. The news spread to the city, and the young lady gained another wave of fans.
The waiting time is always long, especially when the situation is unknown, and the people feel like every second is a year.
When the logistics team received the notice to go to the city gate, they felt that they had finally arrived. They said goodbye to their families in tears, rushed to the battlefield with a sad face, and prepared to die.
Then when they approached the city gate, they were startled by the voice of "Long live the young lady" outside the city.
"???"
When they went out of the city gate, they saw the scene of the soldiers celebrating the victory, and they were stunned on the spot.
The official in charge of logistics management said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up, clean up the battlefield, collect supplies, and move weapons!"
"Ah?"
They won? The young lady won? They don't have to die? Are they dreaming?
...
From this moment on, the people of Chuyang City knew that the young lady had won the battle to defend the city with fewer troops, and at least they didn't have to worry about death for the time being.
Cheers with crying voices rang out in every household, even the farms and horse farms were cheering and celebrating.
When Ye Mo's carriage entered the city, people came out to watch. Ye Mo in the carriage put on a new red cloak over his bloodstained and damaged battle robe, which was still bright and eye-catching red.
Along the way, there were voices of "Long live the young lady". This slogan is really understandable to everyone and is full of blessings. Or the poetry of "female generals", the style and lyrics are also simple and clear.
Ye Mo:
"..."
Wang Xue smiled brightly with a scar on her face that was healing: "Sister Jing, you can be the king of this world."
Ye Mo:
"...I think too much."
To be honest, it feels really good to be appreciated and admired by thousands of people. At least in tonight's dream, in addition to the cruel scenes on the battlefield, there are also happy faces crying and laughing.
This is very healing.
...
Ye Mo first sent Wang Xue back to Momen, and after a simple visit to Mr. Meng Sheng, he returned to Yangcheng Junfu.
The first thing to do is to take a bath, apply medicine, and change clothes.
She took off her red outer robe and armor. The white single garment underneath was completely stained with blood. There were many holes, not only from the outside, but also from her own blood. There
were wounds all over her body, some of which had already healed, some had turned into deep or shallow red marks, and some were slightly black and blue. There were two wounds on her back, especially on her back. The bloody single garment had seeped into the deep wounds, so that now the garment had entrapped the new flesh and needed to be cut out again.
"Young lady, young lady."
The maids were shaking as they cut with the knives. Because they were nervous and Ye Mo had a high physical attribute, they were busy for half an hour but still couldn't take out the garment.
In the end, Ye Mo had to do it himself.
In short, the moment Ye Mo entered the dark and heated medicinal bath, his indifferent expression was immediately broken. It is said that this is a top-level healing bath containing spiritual objects from heaven and earth.
[Detected that the survivor Ye Mo has broken through the critical point of physical fitness, physical attribute +1. ]
She can still come with ten dozen of these different medicines!
...
When Ye Mo just finished bathing and was about to go back to her room to rest for a night, her personal maid reported that someone wanted to see her urgently. It was not the survivor Gu Xing, but the female musician Qiong from the lower courtyard.
"I kowtow to the young lady."
This was the second time Ye Mo saw Qiong in the dungeon, a beautiful woman who left a deep impression on her.
"Stand up, what do you want to report?"
Qiong's eyes were a little red: "I heard about the young lady guarding Chuyang City, and I couldn't help but remember some stories from my childhood. The young lady once praised my name for being nice, which was given to me by my elders."
Ye Mo's eyes flashed: "Please sit down."
"Thank you, young lady." Qiong knelt down and began to talk about her origins, "Do you know the Queen Mother of the West?"
Ye Mo certainly knew the Queen Mother of the West, the legendary goddess of immortality who was in charge of the elixir of immortality, the goddess of creation in Taoism, the founder of Quanzhen Sect, and the head of female immortals. This is a myth of later generations.
According to the historical records of the Chu State, the Queen Mother of the West was the queen of every level of tribe in the Queen Mother Kingdom in the Qinghai area. The Queen Mother Kingdom had existed in the Xia Dynasty and had been rich in spiritual jade and spiritual plants for two thousand years.
During the Western Zhou
Dynasty, the Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West was conquered by Emperor Mu, and it ceased to exist. Qiong continued, "I am a descendant of the Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West. My name is Yu, because the Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West is rich in beautiful jade, but I have failed the wishes of my elders."
Ye Mo asked,
"Is your elders' wish to rebuild the Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West?"
"Who doesn't want to restore a country after destroying it, but it is almost impossible." Qiong shook his head, "Young lady, you know witches, right? There are three types of physical talents, equal soul and spirit, women's blood is stronger than men's, men's root bones are stronger than women's, and yin and yang are balanced. But now the spiritual energy is constantly weakening, and the witch is gone. Unless there is a natural cultivator with high talent like you, no one can rebuild the Kingdom of Women. But after it is established, how long can it last?"
Ye Mo:
"What is your wish?"
"The elders hope that the inheritance of Queen Mother of the West will continue, and that all the descendants of Queen Mother of the West can live in peace in this chaotic world. However, none of the direct descendants of Queen Mother of the West are suitable for martial arts. I am willing to exchange everything I know about cultivators and the inheritance of Queen Mother of the West for a skill in this chaotic world."
Ye Mo understood immediately:
"You want to learn the art of mechanism?"
Qiong replied: "Yes. I have learned a little formation, but it is only a formation with very high requirements for jade. I think I may have a talent in the art of mechanism. Please help me, young lady."
...
The 300,000 Chu troops failed in the civil war? The death of Chu general Zhao Lie? The successful defense of Chuyang City? An eight-foot-tall woman in red fighting against 300,000 elite soldiers? A woman in red with a figure as tall as a mountain killed the general of Chu?
In just one day, news, both true and false, spread throughout the State of Chu and also reached other countries through spies. All the philosophers and people with lofty ideals in the world basically understood the situation.
Chu State had few defeats, few battles where the few defeated the many, and few civil wars. Since the death of King Mu of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there have been almost no women serving as commanders... In short, all the information related to this battle was hot topics, sparking discussions among people all over the world.
They discussed a lot.
For example, who was the woman in red? What was the relationship between the woman in red and Chuyang City? Could women serve as commanders? What were the grievances between King Chu Su and more than 70 lords of the city? Would King Chu Su send troops again?
I heard that King Chu Su knew about it last night and was furious. He almost sent out another million troops, but was temporarily persuaded by Prime Minister Su, saying, "Your Majesty, you must not act on impulse. Although this woman is as fast as lightning and as strong as an ox, the victory of Chuyang City is not her own achievement. There are also the wise counselors behind her and the mechanism of the Mohist school."
That's right, after Mozi, the Mohist school finally has another outstanding disciple.
...
From the second day, the identity of the woman in red was exposed to the world - Chu Mi, a noblewoman of the Chu State with the surname Mi, the only daughter of Lord Yangcheng, named Wenjing.
Mi Wenjing is a typical noblewoman in a deep family. Before Ye Mo traveled through time, her personality was basically unknown except for Lord Yangcheng and the other two. What was spread out was the story after Ye Mo traveled through time.
The people who spread the story were the ones who escaped from Chuyang City. They received the kindness of the young lady, so naturally they all spread good reputations. Some even planned to return to Chuyang City and stop being the running dogs of Chu State.
The little episodes that Ye Mo had performed, such as asking questions, caring for the people, filial piety, kindness, respect for teachers, joining the army for his father, and fighting for the people, all evolved into classic stories.
"As long as the people are in the city, as long as Mi Wenjing is there, the enemy will never think of breaking through Chuyang City and hurting the lives of her people!"
This sentence spread far and wide.
Of course, in addition to character and war, Mi Wenjing's being a disciple of Mo Men also caused widespread controversy.
The Legalists, Taoists, Mohists, Confucians, Yin-Yangists, Famous Scholars, Agriculturalists, Novelists, Diplomats, Military Strategists, and Medical Strategists all had female disciples.
But that was in the early days. Nowadays, even the Taoists and Yin-Yangists, which are derived from witchcraft, have very few female disciples, not to mention famous female disciples.
The appearance of Mi Wenjing was also a rare occasion. The issue of men and women was put on the topic of discussion among the various schools of thought. Some people even raised the issue of the subordinate status of women in Zhou Li.
...
The above are just the buds of some thoughts. Meng Sheng, a great Mohist master, also became famous along with Mi Wenjing. Many people attributed the victory of the battle to Meng Sheng's strategy and Mohist mechanism.
