Even though Qiao Diyi had declined, everyone in the Yong army was willing to call him Major General, and Xiang Wenqiu followed suit.

At this moment, seeing Wang Houmai and Liu Shengan whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Xiang Wenqi's heart was filled with excitement!

If he had surrendered to Qiao Diyi before because he was forced by the situation and his country, but today, Xiang Wenqiu was just grateful.

He had been following Qiao Diyi these days, and only then did he realize that Yong State had already created a miracle!

They actually defeated the epidemic that no one in history had ever been able to conquer!

Xiang Wenqiu was so shocked that he could not express it in words. He only knew that the 200,000-strong army of Wuding actually did not suffer many losses.

This time Qiao Zhongguo was at a disadvantage against the enemy, which actually meant he was trapped in a jar. Mo Qiandai thought he had a sure win, but he didn't know that he had already led his army step by step into the trap!

If he had not surrendered, and had not written to persuade Lao Mai and Lao An, perhaps today, even the two of them and their brothers would have died under the iron hoof of the Yong Kingdom!

But there was one thing that Xiang Wenqi could never figure out.

Since Yong State already has a chance of winning, why bother trying so hard to persuade him to rebel, and let him persuade Lao Mai and others to rebel?

He didn't understand, so he went straight to ask Qiao Diyi.

At that time, Qiao Diyi, who had always been carefree, suddenly straightened his face and said solemnly:

"Brother Xiang, human life is precious."

If the Northern Army had lost its morale and formation on the battlefield, the Yong Army would have been able to end the war faster and with fewer casualties.

The Yong State was determined to win this battle, and even had the confidence to launch a northern expedition from the very beginning. However, they were cautious in their planning and strategizing, just to reduce casualties on the battlefield, both for the Yong Army and the Northern Army.

After Xiang Wenqiu figured it out, he was shocked, then he smiled bitterly, and could not say another word except to follow Qiao Diyi wholeheartedly.

After all, the reason why he rebelled against the Northern Army was because Mo Qiandai, as the commander, treated soldiers like grass.

At this time, when Qiao Diyi heard Xiang Wenqiu's words, his eyebrows lit up.

Just wait a little longer, the “basket” will be closed soon!

At this time, the main force of the Northern Army was still crossing the river. Qiao Zhongguo waved the long sword in his hand. He had been away from the battlefield for more than ten years. After being a censor who only talked for so many years, he was indeed a little rusty.

However, when the feeling of the blade cutting through the enemy's flesh and blood continued to reach his palms, he gradually regained his former vigor and spirit, as if he had turned back into the victorious general who made the enemy tremble in fear!

Part of the Qiao family army gathered around Qiao Zhongguo, and part of them guarded Qiao Diyi. Compared with those young faces, they were indeed old.

However, unlike the new recruits who were gritting their teeth and looking bloodthirsty, the Qiao family soldiers had heroic smiles on their faces.

I am honored to be able to return to the battlefield with the general in this life. Even if I die here today, this life will be worth it!

The difference in numbers between the two sides was too great. No matter how fearless the Yong army was, they were still defeated and beaten back by the Northern Army.

At this time, Mo Qiandai finally crossed the river!

He would not miss this great battle that would go down in the history of the Northern Kingdom.

He would personally stand on the Wuding city wall, chop off Qiao Zhongguo's head, avenge his son's death, wipe out the shame of Qiao Zhongguo's army marching to the gates of the royal capital, and then create a legend belonging to the Mo family and to him, Mo Qiandai!

At this point, nearly 100,000 of the Northern Kingdom's 120,000 troops had entered Yong Kingdom's territory, and the Yong army was forced to the outskirts of Wuding City, with no way to retreat.

Mo Qiandai saw this scene from afar and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

Given the absolute gap in strength, even Qiao Zhongguo can't dream of turning decay into magic!

Deputy General Chang could almost see Shengli waving at them. He could hardly suppress his excitement and turned to ask Mo Qiandai:

"General, Qiao Zhongguo has fallen into a desperate situation. Should we blow the alarm and completely defeat the Yong army?"

When Mo Qiandai heard this, a surge of ambition and passion surged in his heart, and he nodded heavily.

"allow!"

Deputy General Chang was so excited that he immediately ordered: "Blow the alarm horn and attack!"

Woo——

The alarm horn sounded, low but very penetrating, and easily reached the ears of every Northern Army soldier.

"attack!"

The Northern Army rushed forward with guns and knives in hand!

When the Yong army heard the Northern Army's attack signal, their faces changed drastically.

A huge crowd of enemies marched forward, raising billowing dust like an irresistible wave.

Everyone stood against the wall. They knew they would die in this battle, but they felt no fear. Instead, they felt extremely unwilling.

In the end, they failed to protect Wuding and failed to build a high wall for their compatriots behind them. This time... they failed to live up to General Qiao's trust.

Thinking of General Qiao, the Yong army's hearts suddenly trembled, and they all looked at the tall figure standing in front of them.

No, the general cannot die with them!

The general is the pillar of the Yong Dynasty. He should wait alive for reinforcements, and then regroup and drive the northern bandits out of his home!

"General!"

Everyone looked at each other, and rushed forward at the same time, blocking Qiao Zhongguo behind them.

At this critical moment, everyone didn't even have time to ask where Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue had gone. They didn't dare to think too deeply, worried that those who were not there might have already...

"General, please leave!"

Everyone screamed and raised their spears again. Someone who was standing close to Qiao Zhongguo hurriedly said,

"General, we are outnumbered this time, and it is inevitable that we will be buried here. From today on, we will accompany the heroic spirit of Wuding and wait for you to come back and recover our homeland!"

Mo Qiandai sat upright on his horse and couldn't help but sneer when he saw the Yong army surrounding Qiao Zhongguo.

Today, surrounded by an army of 120,000, they still hope to let Qiao Zhongguo escape?

Qiao Zhongguo did not respond to the crowd's persuasion to leave. His chest was burning, but his mind remained clear at all times.

He watched with his own eyes as all the Northern troops crossed the river, and saw them relax their tense nerves one by one and reveal smug smiles of having won the victory.

At this point, Qiao Zhongguo also curled the corners of his mouth.

He stretched out his hand to his side, and Qiao Er, who was following him closely, understood what he meant and immediately handed over a cow horn with a mottled surface.

Deputy General Chang could not miss a single glance and kept a close eye on Qiao Zhongguo's movements. When he saw Qiao Zhongguo put the ox horn to his lips, a look of sneer immediately appeared on his face.

With less than 30,000 people, you still have the nerve to blow the charge horn?

However, Qiao Zhongguo was focused. He took a deep breath and when he exhaled, the sound of the charge horn could be heard from afar.

Woo——

The sound of the horn was clearer, drowning out the shouts of the Northern Army.

The Yong army was shocked when they heard the sound, and rushed forward with guns in hand as the horn sounded.

Fearless, unafraid, and unyielding, even if I die, I will never surrender!

This is a man's oath, and he should carry it out with his life!

"kill!"

The Northern Army still didn't take it seriously, and raised their spears confidently, and suddenly -

"kill!"

Even more deafening shouts and screams suddenly rang out, and judging from the sound, it seemed to come from...Wuding City!

The Northern Army was shocked and then thought they had heard it wrong.

Yong Jun, who had already risked his life, was also shocked and turned his head back involuntarily.

The next moment, without any warning, flags were suddenly erected on the dilapidated Wuding city wall, and on them, the golden word "Yong" was dazzling!

Just when everyone was stunned and confused, the half-burned Wuding city gate suddenly opened from the inside.

Immediately afterwards, countless Yong soldiers dressed in military uniforms rushed out with a murderous aura, roaring loudly:

"Death to the Northern bandits!"
