Dong — — Dong — — Dong, dong, dong — —
The war drums shook the sky. Song Hongao, who was in the middle of a discussion with his deputies, raised his head in shock. "What happened?"
"Marshal, it's... it's Yuan Country's war drums." A vanguard shouted from outside.
Song Hongao walked out of the tent hurriedly and looked at the desert in front of him. The war drums sounded louder and louder. This was the signal for Yuan Country to fight.
"Is Yuan Country going to initiate the attack?" A deputy exclaimed in shock. "Are they not aware of the situation? We have at least three times more soldiers than them."
Although both countries would eventually fight, Yuan Country was the one initiating the attack. This did not feel good.
They were the ones with the upper hand, but why did it feel like they were the ones on the defensive?
"Go and see if Yuan Country has sent out their troops." Song Hongao ordered. This was the first time he saw a weaker side initiating the attack. Unless they were confident, no one would be so impulsive.
No, that was not right. The ones leading the troops were Lu Yaoyao and Mo Rongzhan. They had always been different.
"Marshal, we have to gather our troops." Another deputy said.
Very quickly, the scouts returned and confirmed that Yuan Country had already sent out their troops.
"Blow the horn and fight." Song Hongao ordered.
Zhao Rao was woken up by the sound of the war drums. She walked out of the tent and asked, "What happened?"
"The war drums of Yuan Country are here." Zhao Xiang's face was solemn. "They have sent out their troops."
"They..." Zhao Rao slowed down her voice. "They provoked us first?"
Song Hongao strode over. "Your Majesty, the two armies are going to fight soon. I will get someone to send you back to the city."
"I want to stay here." Zhao Rao said coldly. She wanted to see Lu Yaoyao lose.
"No!" Song Hongao said. "Your Majesty, you are a precious person. It is too dangerous here."
Zhao Rao looked at him. "Do you think Lu Yaoyao can fight her way here? Can she kill me here? "
If it was someone else, he could guarantee Zhao Rao's safety. However, it was Mo Rongzhan and his wife. He had no confidence.
"Your Majesty, with you here, we will not be able to fight in peace." Song Hongao said. "Please return to the city and wait for the good news."
Zhao Rao listened to the increasingly urgent sound of the war drums. "Very well, we shall return to the city."
Song Hongao nodded to Zhao Xiang, signaling her to take care of Zhao Rao.
"Tell me first, can you capture Lu Yaoyao alive?" Zhao Rao stared at Song Honao and asked.
"This subject cannot guarantee anything." Song Hongao said in a low voice. "This subject will do his best!"
Zhao Rao looked at him deeply. "Alright, we believe you. How do you plan to fight?"
"The terrain here is suitable for a sneak attack. I will send five thousand elite soldiers to flank Sha Jiucheng from both sides. At this time, Sha Jiucheng must be empty. It will be easy to attack the city." Song Hongao said.
"Five thousand is too little. I need at least ten thousand." Zhao Rao didn't want to underestimate Lu Yaoyao.
"Yes!" Song Hongao answered without hesitation.
Zhao Rao gently nodded.
"Ling Jian, escort His Majesty back to the city," Song Hongao ordered, "His Majesty will be able to see everything from atop the city walls."
"Your Majesty!" Ling Jian looked at Zhao Rao.
Zhao Rao glanced at them before turning and walking towards the arranged carriage.
After Song Hongao confirmed that Zhao Rao had boarded the carriage, he immediately turned and left the tent. He ordered the light cavalry general who used to follow Cheng Zheng to lead ten thousand elite soldiers to flank Sha Jiucheng from two sides, while he led the rest of the soldiers to face the enemy head-on.
"Marshal, the one leading the troops is … Mo Rongzhan! Shen Luoyang and Jiang Dachuan are his vanguards. "The soldier who went to scout reported.
"Didn't Mo Rongzhan become blind?" Someone shouted. "Could it be a lie?"
Song Hongao ignored the man's words and asked in a low voice, "Have you seen Lu Yaoyao?"
"No sign of Lu Yaoyao. She might be in the city."
Impossible! Lu Yaoyao would not stay in the city, she must be …
Song Hongao's expression suddenly changed. Could it be that she had brought troops to attack?
Then she would definitely meet Zhang Youchang. Zhang Youchang was promoted by Cheng Zheng and his military style and martial arts were similar to Cheng Zheng's. If he met Lu Yaoyao, she would definitely not let him go.
"Marshal, what should we do next?" Someone at the side asked Song Hongao.
Song Hongao regained his senses. She was now his enemy and he could not afford to be distracted by her.
"Mo Rongzhan is indeed invisible. If he is the marshal, we have to be even more careful. Keep an eye on their formation. We just have to attack their weakest point and we will be able to break through." Song Hongao said in a low voice as he rode his horse forward.
The wind howled and the yellow sand rolled. He saw Mo Rongzhan standing on the chariot.
Mo Rongzhan was wearing a black armor. The sunlight fell on him and he looked like an invincible god.
Song Hongao thought of Mo Rongzhan's reputation on the battlefield.
He was the God of War.
Even if he was blind, he was still the fearsome Mo Rongzhan.
"Kill!" The morale of the Yuan Country soldiers was high. As they neared the territory of Qi Country, they let out an earth-shattering roar.
"Soldiers!" Song Hongao shouted. "Who is the guardian of our Yuan Country?"
"Lord Cheng!"
Song Hongao said. "Today, we are fighting for Lord Cheng's reputation. We want to let the soldiers of Yuan Country see that the soldiers under Lord Cheng are indestructible and not something they can compare to."
"Yes!"
The soldiers of Qi Country roared. Their low morale was instantly boosted.
Mo Rongzhan listened to the roars from the opposite side and confirmed the number of enemies. He said to Shen Luoyang in a low voice, "Change the formation.
"What?" Shen Luoyang was stunned. Wasn't this breaking up their already small army?
"Change the formation!" Jiang Dachuan had complete trust in Mo Rongzhan. Upon hearing his orders, he immediately ordered to change the formation.
Shen Luoyang's face stiffened as he lowered his head. He knew that he had committed a taboo in the army.
On the battlefield, as the Deputy General, she should not question the marshal's decision.
"Fight." Mo Rongzhan did not care about Shen Luoyang's doubts. "I will capture Song Hongao alive."
Shen Luoyang was even more shocked. To capture the bandits, one must first capture the ringleader. However, it was not that easy to capture Song Hongao. Moreover, he was blind. How would he know where Song Hongao was? However, she only dared to think about it in her heart. She did not dare to have any more doubts. She immediately led the elite soldiers to fight.
In an instant, the desert was filled with yellow sand and blood splattered everywhere.
On the other side, Ye Zhen was approaching the Yuan Country's territory with 5,000 elite soldiers. Along the way, she met Zhang Youchang who was also planning to launch a sneak attack.
The moment Zhang Youchang saw Ye Zhen, his eyes were filled with intense anger.
"Yao Yao, you guessed it right. They also sent people to attack us." Fire Phoenix shouted happily.
