He held his head high with a stubborn expression, showing no fear despite his numerous wounds.
Such people are the hope for the future of the Southern Dynasty.
Gu Mu nodded approvingly. He noticed that the wounded soldiers' wounds had not festered because of the penicillin.
After the doctor stopped the bleeding, they gradually recovered.
Six thousand soldiers, all of whom were wounded.
This war was started by the Xia and Si states.
He will make them regret it!
Meanwhile, in the capital city...
In just one night, quite a few martial arts masters had infiltrated the area.
They disguised themselves as ordinary citizens.
But he was alert and kept a close eye on the slightest movement around him.
Originally, the martial arts world and the imperial court did not interfere with each other.
Unfortunately, the three entry tokens they needed to enter the Hidden City were all in the capital.
Some wanted to find a secluded place to take refuge.
Some are weary of the conflicts of the martial world and want to go to a secluded city to spend the rest of their lives with their loved ones.
More importantly, it was for the readily available penicillin.
On the surface, the three major sects of the martial arts world are also involved in this competition: Tianxing Pavilion, Qianzhuang, and Qingjian Mountain.
"Where could the fragment of the city entry token be?" asked a woman dressed entirely in black, wearing a veil.
Standing by the window of a restaurant, watching the bustling crowd.
He asked in a murmur.
She was Xiao Su, a notorious and ruthless woman abandoned by her lover. Heartbroken, she began to take revenge on society, earning a fearsome reputation for killing.
Just then, a dart flew in through the window.
Xiao Su raised her hand and caught the dart, trapping it between her fingers.
There was a note attached to the dart.
Xiao Su unfolded it and took a look.
"Just now, at the dog hole in the backyard of the Minister of War's residence, I saw a child playing with a piece of bronze. I snatched it and found that it might be a city entry order."
Just then, the waiter came over with a plate of chopped octopus and was about to place it on the table behind Xiao Su.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Su turned around and knocked over the vegetables.
Xiao Su stepped onto the mangled octopus and quickly went downstairs.
She wanted to meet with the person who passed the darts.
The waiter cried out desperately behind Xiao Su, "Sir, you haven't paid yet..."
At this moment, Gu Mu was in the military camp.
Although he was far from the capital, the capital was in turmoil because of him.
It's just that the bait they threw out was big enough.
Gu Mu's hand repeatedly gripped the military map.
Shen Ci bought the soldiers in the camp two days of respite.
But two days later, they were still met by an enemy force that outnumbered them several times over.
Although he hid the nine fragments in the residences of various officials, he did not hide them very well.
He even instructed his henchmen to place a few pieces in low, conspicuous places so that children could use them as toys and unintentionally take them outside to play with.
As long as the people of the martial arts world discover those fragments and piece them together to form the shape of a city entry token.
They knew what a real order to enter the city looked like.
Those martial arts figures, lurking in the capital, were digging for clues about the city entry permit.
Meanwhile, at the military camp, 20,000 reinforcements arrived a day and a half later.
The soldiers in the camp were all invigorated when they saw the 20,000 reinforcements.
"Kill as many as you can, so they won't dare to invade my Southern Dynasty!"
"The soldiers of the Southern Dynasty will never retreat!"
The wounded soldiers in the frontier camp stood up to welcome the soldiers who came to their aid.
To everyone else, the enemy's numbers were almost equal to the total strength of the Southern Dynasty, but if all of the Southern Dynasty's troops were transferred to the frontier...
Then other neighboring countries near the border of the Southern Dynasty would take advantage of the situation and storm into the capital of the Southern Dynasty in one fell swoop.
These people represent all the troops that could come to provide support.
Whether it was the 20,000 soldiers who came to support them or the original 6,000 soldiers in the camp, they were almost all determined to die: "I will protect the Southern Dynasty with my life, and I will never retreat even if I die."
If they can withstand these 100,000 people, it will be a severe blow to both the Xia and Si kingdoms.
Moreover, since the Xia and Si states had already crossed the border, food supplies could not be provided quickly.
When their food reserves run out, they will retreat on their own.
Therefore, for the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty, as long as they held their ground, it was a victory.
But for Gu Mu, it's not just about protecting them, but also about making them pay the price.
Although the Southern Dynasty was a small country, it was not one that anyone could invade!
A soldier on guard duty in the military camp suddenly said, "The enemy is coming, less than three kilometers away from us."
In an instant, all the archers in the camp raised their swords.
Whether wounded or soldiers who came to their aid, they all picked up their guns and mounted their horses.
"Go out and meet the enemy!" Shen Ci roared.
The military camp gates were wide open, and the soldiers charged out of the city without any fear.
They were met by an enemy force several times their size.
Even if the outcome might be death.
They were also willing to use their bodies to protect the peace of the Southern Dynasty.
Gu Mu and a group of generals rode side by side at the forefront.
For him.
The more than 90,000 enemy troops ahead are all points!
Once your political achievements and villainous points accumulate to a certain level, you can unlock items in the system shop!
He was determined to make a fortune from this blatant way of earning points!
Unlike the generals of the Southern Dynasties, who all led the charge at the forefront.
As Shen Ci said, the generals of Xia and Si all cowered in the rear.
Perhaps because it was a joint force of two countries, the morale was not aligned, and everyone was thinking of the other side charging into battle.
In short, although they were numerous, they were not as united as the Southern Dynasty.
The two armies clashed.
Gu Mu swung his spear, piercing a soldier's chest first.
Under Gu Mu's leadership, even with the enemy's overwhelming force, the Southern Dynasty soldiers were not intimidated at all!
"Charge!" they shouted.
Gu Mu single-handedly fought his way through the enemy's shield defenses and charged into their heart.
Shen Ci followed closely behind, leading his soldiers to charge in.
Without defenses, the enemy's firepower was greatly reduced, especially with Gu Mu leading the way.
Despite the brutal situation, soldiers of the Southern Dynasty fell one after another.
But the enemy fell even more.
Thus, a glimmer of light appeared in the eyes of the Southern Dynasty soldiers.
His Highness's promise to personally lead the troops into battle was not just for show.
Even if we continue fighting like this, we can't hold the border, even if it's a one-for-one or one-for-two exchange, because the enemy has too many troops.
But we cannot avoid the battle.
Not engaging in battle would be tantamount to handing over the frontier and several adjacent cities to others.
Gu Mu looked up at the very back, at the five enemy generals.
He memorized the appearance of those five enemy generals yesterday.
The enemy general who was squinting and grinning like a smiling tiger was closest to him.
Gu Mu remembered that this enemy general should be named Rong Lü.
On the front lines of a battlefield where countless people die every minute, this person can still laugh so happily without a care in the world.
Is it smugness? Or a feeling that victory is assured?
Gu Mu decided to target this smiling tiger and see if he could still smile.
