It was another hard battle. When it was late, they finally managed to beat back the West-Hill army again. Even Murong Shen had suffered some minor injuries. The two of them stood on the city gate tower, looking at the Xiling Army that was gradually retreating. They finally showed a tired but happy smile.
Before their smile faded, Marquis Nan frowned and said in a low voice, "General Murong, rest well tonight. I will take care of everything. "Murong Shen was tired and injured after days of hard work. If he didn't rest, he would really fall. Murong Shen frowned and glanced at the West-Hill camp in the distance. "I'm afraid that the West-Hill army will launch another sneak attack tonight." In the past two days, the West-Hill army's attacks had obviously become fiercer and more impatient. After days of hard fighting, the defenders of the Acropolis were almost at their limit. If the Xiling Army attacked a few more times, the Acropolis would not be able to withstand it.
Marquis Nan smiled faintly, "Don't worry. Don't you have me? General Murong, don't worry and go rest. "
Murong Shen also understood Marquis Nan's good intentions and nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
Marquis Nan nodded and smiled faintly.
In the Xiling Army's tent, Lei Tengfeng checked the wound on his arm and frowned, "I didn't expect Marquis Nan and Murong Shen to be so good at fighting." In today's fierce battle, not only was Murong Shen injured, even Lei Tengfeng was slightly injured in the chaos. However, it was not a big deal.
Lei Zhenting was not surprised and said indifferently, "Marquis Nan was also a famous general in the Da Chu State and was conferred the title of Marquis because of his military achievements. When Murong Shen was young, he was one of the best generals under Mo Liufang. With the two of them working together, you can't break the Acropolis in a short time. "
Hearing Lei Zhenting's words, Lei Tengfeng's face showed a trace of uneasiness. He said, "Father, please advise me."
Looking at Lei Tengfeng, Lei Zhenting sighed helplessly. Although he only had one son, Lei Tengfeng, but compared to Mo Liufang, he clearly did not know how to teach his son. It wasn't that Lei Tengfeng wasn't outstanding, it was just that compared to Mo Xiuyao, he wasn't outstanding enough. However, it was also because of this that people felt even more dissatisfied and depressed. Lei Tengfeng didn't have it easy either. He was about the same age as Mo Xiuyao, but very few people would compare him to Mo Xiuyao. It was because … he didn't have the right to do so.
Lei Zhenting said, "Marquis Nan and Murong Shen are already at the end of their rope. As long as you speed up the siege, you will definitely be able to take Wei City before Mo Xiuyao comes back. You don't have to worry about that. But... you want to subdue Marquis Nan and Murong Shen? "
Lei Tengfeng's heart skipped a beat. He lowered his head and said, "Son... son just thinks that these two are rare talents..."
Lei Zhenting smiled helplessly and waved his hand, "It's not that father doesn't agree with you subduing some capable people for your own use. But... I want to see what kind of people you want. You can't control Marquis Nan and Murong Shen. "
Lei Tengfeng raised his eyebrows, his face showing a trace of unwillingness. Lei Zhenting said indifferently, "These two people can be called famous generals who have been through hundreds of battles. Murong Shen is arrogant, if you want to subdue him, you have to have the ability that is absolutely stronger than him. He was also Mo Liufang's old subordinate, so he naturally has a good impression of the Mohist army. Now that he has returned to the Mohist army, he will only be more loyal. Moreover, Murong Shen's only daughter is married to Lenghuai's second son, Leng Haoyu. And Leng Haoyu is Mo Xiuyao's trusted aide, second only to Feng Zhiyao. Under these circumstances, do you think Murong Shen will be loyal to you? As for Marquis Nan, he was even more difficult to deal with than Murong Shen, although he had been quiet for years and was not well-known. Although he has not been famous for many years, his arrogance in his youth is no less than Murong Shen's. Therefore, defecting to the enemy at the last minute will never happen to them. "
Lei Tengfeng's uninjured hand clenched tightly. In fact, it was not that he did not understand his father's words. But in his ears, there was another layer of meaning: he was not capable enough, so he could not subdue Murong Shen and Marquis Nan. Hearing his father say this, in Lei Tengfeng's heart, it was no different from his father saying he was incompetent to his face.
"I am incompetent, father, please forgive me." Lei Tengfeng lowered his eyes and said in a low voice.
Seeing him like this, Lei Zhenting could only sigh. After a while, he said, "It's not your fault, don't think so much. Right now, the most important thing is to take Acropolis. "Lei Tengfeng adjusted his expression and nodded," Don't worry, father, I know what to do. "
In the middle of the night, Acropolis stood in the middle of the vast wilderness, looking somewhat lonely. Under the night sky, the Mohist army soldiers stood on top of the city gate tower, steadfastly guarding this small city. In the darkness, a group of people quietly approached the city wall. A man in black quietly climbed up the city gate tower.
"Whoosh!" An arrow shot out from the darkness, and the man in black who had climbed up the wall fell to the ground with a muffled groan. A light lit up on top of the city wall, and the originally quiet city immediately became lively again. In a moment, the sound of fighting and the smell of blood filled the entire wilderness.
This night attack lasted until dawn. The Mohist army soldiers, who had been bitterly fighting for several days, finally couldn't hold on any longer. Heavy logs smashed open the gates of Acropolis. After a bitter battle, both sides suffered heavy losses. At dawn, Marquis Nan finally ordered the Mohist army soldiers to withdraw from Acropolis.
Lei Tengfeng, who was leading the troops into the city, looked at the sound of the Mohist army leaving. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he ordered in a deep voice, "Chase! Whoever obtains the heads of Marquis Nan and Murong Shen will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold. "
"Prince, Prince's orders..." The general following Lei Tengfeng hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but advise him in a low voice. Lei Tengfeng's gaze was like a knife, and he coldly said, "I's the one leading the troops now! I will explain to father later. The Mohist army has fled, and our troops should take advantage of their high morale to pursue them. "
"But..."
Lei Tengfeng sternly said, "Shut up! This is I's order! "
Helpless, the general could only nod and agree, "This general obeys."
Lei Tengfeng took the lead, leading the Xiling Army through Acropolis, and continued to pursue the retreating Mohist army. Not long after, Lei Zhenting arrived at Acropolis, but he didn't see Lei Tengfeng. His expression darkened, and he asked, "Where is Prince?"
The generals looked at each other for a while before one of them stepped forward and reported, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince led the army to chase after Marquis Nan and Murong Shen."
Hearing this, Lei Zhenting's expression changed, and he heavily slammed his hand on the desk, angrily saying, "How dare you! I told him not to act rashly! "The general said awkwardly," But Prince... "
Lei Zhenting sighed helplessly as he looked at the helpless faces of the generals below. Lei Tengfeng was the Prince of Jhennam Of Gojoseon, and the only heir of Zhennan Palace. These generals naturally didn't dare to disobey his orders, and if he insisted on doing something, they naturally didn't dare to stop him. Lei Zhenting was a genius, and he only needed to think a little to understand the reason why Lei Tengfeng suddenly acted so impulsively. It was because of his previous advice. He was afraid that Lei Tengfeng didn't listen to his advice, and instead thought that he, as a father, underestimated his ability.
