Unfortunately, Mao Dehui was proficient in naval warfare but not good at land combat. When he led his troops to attack Xu Shi, he was ambushed and almost died in the forest.
If Wen Juye had not led his troops to support him in time, Mao Dehui would have been killed by local arrows!
"Hmph! This Le Yuxian is so cunning!" Mao Dehui said angrily, pacing back and forth.
"General Mao, as Lord Ding said before, we will take over the battle situation. Please gather the remaining troops as soon as possible and support us in the rear." Wen Juye gave an order to Mao Dehui.
Although Mao Dehui was unwilling, he had no choice but to do so.
"General, are we just going to give the battlefield to Wen Juye?" Mao Dehui's confidant Zhang Zong asked from the side.
"What else could it be? It's all Wang You's fault! Yunmeng County is such an easy place to defend, but he couldn't even defend it!" Mao Dehui had no way to vent his anger, so he had to vent it on the dead Wang You.
After venting his anger, Mao Dehui ordered Zhang Zong to take people to count the number of remaining soldiers and organize combat forces as soon as possible.
Yunmeng County is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and Xie’s army is in high spirits. He doesn’t believe that the Wen family army can capture it directly!
On the other side, Le Yuxian celebrated the victory of another fierce battle. Mao Dehui's generals had indeed fallen into his trap.
"Ding Nanjing's troops in the east have been badly damaged. If we take advantage of the situation and pursue them, we might be able to capture Xiangjiang County directly!" Ming Zishi laughed. Xie Jun's efforts in the past few years have not been in vain.
"Indeed, according to the information provided by Lu Ganhai, Ding Nanjing must be worried about the influx of refugees and the plague right now, and the bandits in Xiangzhou will also respond to our actions." After saying this, Le Yuxian drew a circle on the map: "In this battle, we must capture Xiangjiang County this year!"
After hearing this, Ji Xushi stood up and expressed his intention: "Commander-in-Chief, please continue to arrange for me to be the vanguard. I will definitely lead the soldiers to achieve the merit of being the first to reach the summit!"
"Okay! This governor will personally award you the medal at that time!" Le Yuxian expressed his affirmation of Ji Xushi's courage.
"All of you generals have worked hard in this battle. If you don't mind, this commander-in-chief would like to play a few songs for you to soothe your minds." Le Yuxian was very confident in his piano skills. If others played a wrong note, he would correct it immediately.
He has been learning the qin since he was young, and he is very familiar with the strings and can play various kinds of music with ease.
"Great! It's been a long time since I heard the commander-in-chief play the piano!" Ming Zishi quickly joined in the fun. After hearing it, the other generals also asked the commander-in-chief to play a song.
The soldier moved the zither in front of Le Yuxian, and Le Yuxian's state suddenly changed. He closed his eyes and became one with the zither.
First there is a sad rhythm, which seems to be responding to the previous disadvantages in the attack on Yunmeng County. His lord Xie Botai unfortunately died on the way to attack Yunmeng County.
Then the rhythm gradually became higher and higher, inspiring people, as if they had won a battle. The future was right in front of them, and they only needed to take one more step forward to achieve immortal military exploits!
When the conversation was reaching its climax, a soldier tactlessly interrupted it and even fell when he ran in.
The playing of Le Yuxian was also interrupted by this action. The right hand played a wrong note, which immediately made the song have an obvious flaw.
"Commander-in-chief...!" The soldier gasped for breath.
Le Yuxian opened his eyes, ending his previous gentle demeanor. His face turned serious. "What's wrong? Don't worry, calm down first."
"Report to the commander-in-chief... there is an enemy attack on the mountain!" The soldier conveyed a shocking fact.
Deputy General Ming Zishi was shocked: "Hasn't the enemy been ambushed by our army and severely damaged? How could they still have such a large force to attack us?"
"Huh... It seems to be a new army... They are attacking the camp, please hurry up, General!" the soldier urged.
Le Yuxian walked out of the tent and saw a group of enemy soldiers on horseback heading towards them from the mountain. He immediately ordered, "Retreat! Return to Yunmeng County!"
Several soldiers were about to return to the tent to carry the zither, but were scolded by Le Yuxian: "It's already this late, why are you still carrying the zither?! Hurry up!"
At the same time, Gan Xingfan led the cavalry galloping down the mountain and was about to kill Le Yuxian!
Many soldiers fought desperately, vowing to buy some time for Le Yuxian to escape, but they were killed instantly by Gan Xingfan's army.
"Xie Jun! Your Grandpa Gan is here!" Gan Xingfan shouted near the commander's tent.
