“It’s really worrying that they’re so unvigilant…” Mo Jiu couldn’t help but say.
Mo Er was silent for a moment before speaking, "Mo San, take a small team and sneak ahead of them to scout out the situation on the enemy's side. Remember not to alert them."
Mo San hesitated for a moment, then said coldly, "This was their own decision, so they should bear the corresponding consequences. They should be aware of the consequences of acting without authorization. Why should we be responsible for their mistakes?"
"This is a military order, go quickly, stop arguing," Mo Er said.
Mo San reluctantly rode his horse forward a few steps, then turned back and ordered a small group of people to follow him.
A short while later, Mo San rushed back, looking flustered. "General, something bad has happened. There is indeed an ambush ahead, and quite a few people. But the soldiers of the Tianlang Kingdom haven't noticed, and they seem to be in internal strife, hesitating between going and not going, and even arguing."
Mo Jiu couldn't help but curse, "Those old fools!"
This was a phrase he secretly learned when Yun Qingluo went to see their Mo family army.
It sounds quite natural, but I don't understand why they don't call them "Seventh Brother" or "Eighth Brother".
Mo Er glanced coldly at Mo Jiu, who immediately made a gesture to shut up.
"Send men to stop the soldiers of the Tianlang Kingdom and tell them there is an ambush ahead. Don't go any further. Go quickly!" Mo Er instructed Mo Si.
He originally wanted Mo San to go, but seeing Mo San's impatient expression, he knew he was unreliable.
Mo Si, an honest man, accepted the order, turned around, and rode away.
He returned shortly afterward, covered in dust and bruises.
Upon seeing this, Mo Jiu hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
Mo Si glanced at Mo Er before speaking, "I have told them the truth, but the soldiers of the Tianlang Kingdom do not believe me. They not only have people attack me, but also speed up their march. General, something bad is about to happen."
Upon hearing this, Mo Er immediately ordered his army to follow him and go to provide support.
Some members of the Mo family army were unwilling, saying, "Why should we bear the consequences for their mistakes..."
Mo Er turned around and said coldly, "Ever since the Emperor defeated the Tianlang Kingdom and made it submit to the Tianmo Kingdom, the Tianlang Kingdom has been a part of our Tianmo Kingdom. They are also our brothers and a part of our Tianmo Kingdom. We cannot sit idly by."
Seeing their general's anger, the crowd fell silent and followed him toward the spot where the Tianlang Kingdom soldiers had left.
By the time the Mo family army arrived, the soldiers of the Tianlang Kingdom were already surrounded by the enemy. The Tianlang Kingdom soldiers were in complete chaos and had no order. At this moment, the scene had become a harvesting ground for the soldiers of the Dongwu Kingdom.
The Mo family army's expressions changed drastically. Mo Si exclaimed, "According to my investigation, Dongwu Kingdom clearly doesn't have this many people. How come there are a million people here in just a short while?"
"How could this be? Why are there so many more soldiers from the Eastern Wu Kingdom all of a sudden?"
Mo San said irritably, "I guess when the Tianlang Kingdom sent out its troops this morning, the Dongwu Kingdom's soldiers had already received the news. Perhaps they were already lying in ambush here, waiting for the Tianlang Kingdom to fall into their trap."
Mo Er's expression was serious. "Set up the formation and save them!"
In the short time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the number of soldiers from the Tianlang Kingdom had decreased by about 10,000.
Although the Mo family army harbored some resentment, they did not slack off at all under Mo Er's command, forming a battle formation and charging into the encirclement to rescue the people.
Mo Jiu lightly patted the horse's back, leaped to his feet, used the horse's saddle for leverage, and flew into the enemy's encirclement with his light footwork, kicking away the sword that was about to pierce General Yu's neck.
General Yu patted his chest, still shaken, and looked somewhat embarrassed when he turned around and saw that the person who had saved him was Mo Jiu.
"Commander Mo Jiu, you..." Before he could finish speaking, he sensed something unusual around him. Turning around, he saw the figures of the Mo family army all around him, moving in and out in an orderly manner, cooperating with perfect coordination, and handling killing and saving people with ease.
"The Mo Family Army? The Mo Family Army is here? How could they be here so quickly?" General Yu exclaimed in shock.
Seeing Yu Fei still in a daze, Mo Jiu gritted his teeth and pulled him away from the enemy's longsword. "If you want to be in a daze, go back and be in a daze. Right now, focus your attention, damn it."
Mo Si rushed over, his tone gentle but also tinged with urgency. “General Yu, we discovered this morning that you had quietly left the camp. We knew we couldn’t persuade you, so we could only follow you. Later, we sent people to investigate and found an ambush. I went to inform you, but you wouldn’t listen to any of our advice. I had no choice but to go back and call the general to rescue you.”
After hearing Mo Si's words, General Yu looked ashamed. "It's all my fault. We were too arbitrary and have now implicated the Mo family army. We, the soldiers of Tianlang Kingdom, have let you down."
While protecting the exhausted General Yu, Mo Si worked together with Mo Jiu to kill the enemy soldiers in front of them.
"General Yu, now is not the time to talk about these things. I know that you have the highest prestige among the soldiers of the Tianlang Kingdom, and we need your help now." Mo Er rushed over and, under the cover of Mo San, came to General Yu's side.
"What can I do for you, General Mo? Please tell me." General Yu, as expected of a veteran, had already composed himself and asked while continuing to kill the enemy.
Mo Er quickly spoke up, "General Yu, look, the soldiers of the Tianlang Kingdom are now a disorganized mess, completely routed under the enemy's attack. This can't go on."
Upon hearing this, General Yu's face fell. "We are close to Dongwu Kingdom and have fought many wars with them. Therefore, Dongwu Kingdom's soldiers know our battle tactics very well. We are doomed."
Mo Er glanced around coldly. Just as General Yu had said, the soldiers of Dongwu Kingdom could even predict the next move of the soldiers of Tianlang Kingdom. Therefore, Tianlang Kingdom was being unilaterally slaughtered.
However, the Mo family army fighting against the Dongwu Kingdom had unpredictable and ever-changing movements, making them difficult to defend against. This created an invisible mountain pressing down on the Tianlang Kingdom's soldiers.
Furthermore, since they couldn't withstand even a single move from the Mo family army, the situation improved slightly.
However, the addition of only 100,000 troops is far from enough.
Soon, the enemy gained the upper hand.
On the other side, Yun Qingluo was taking a medicinal bath, closing her eyes comfortably.
Suddenly, she woke up with a start, the sound of water alerting Mo Beichen who was waiting outside.
Mo Beichen pushed the door open without hesitation, closed it with his inner force, and hurriedly walked to Yun Qingluo's side.
"Luo Luo, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Is the water too hot?" Mo Beichen's concerned gaze fell on Yun Qingluo's face.
Yun Qingluo, disregarding her embarrassment, quickly said, "No, Achen, I'm fine. Just now, I think I fell asleep and dreamed that something happened to the Mo family army, and also to the soldiers of the Tianlang Kingdom. It seems they were ambushed."
