C46 (2/2)
The Fat Cui was also online, he didn't say anything else and led his troops back. He made it clear to the soldiers, ”There are still tens of thousands of soldiers lying in ambush. If we go, we'll just be sending ourselves to our deaths.” It was all thanks to Cui Yu kowtowing and pretending to be a grandson that they came up with this plan. Only then did they convince him to be an official and said that as long as we withdrew, he would let bygones be bygones.
Who in the army would wonder how many holes and holes there were in his words? If they didn't fight, they wouldn't lose their lives. When they returned home, their wives and children would get heated up. Who wouldn't love to do this? What's more, the Fat Cui had to bear the burden of the sky falling. As a soldier, one shouldn't worry about such things. As for the trusted aides of over two hundred of the Fat Cui s, they had long since been enticed into action by him using all sorts of temptations.
Thus, the reinforcements of the two thousand over people turned around and retreated fifty kilometers away from the Tiger Running City, following the same route back to the Tiger Roar City, and also brought along a ”Big Tail” of over a hundred people.
When Fat Cui led the troops back to Tiger Roar City, he naturally felt surprised, ”Big Brother Cui, what's going on? Have you not reached the Tiger Running City yet, and turned back just like that? Is it because I've found a place to wander around that I have to settle down? ” Fat Cui was famous for being afraid of death, so everyone would take this chance to tease him.
However, Fat Cui did not have a smile on his face, nor did he blow his nose or glare at him. Instead, he anxiously said to City Gate Officer, ”Cut the crap, I do not have the time to chat with you right now. What about Lord Shi? I have an important military report! ”
When the City Gate Officer saw him in such a state, he was first stunned, then immediately realized that he really had something on, and quickly brought him to find Shi Jie. Before the two of them left, Fat Cui had even specially instructed them, ”Have my men stay behind to help you push through the city gates. Half a day ago, I found a group of enemy soldiers thirty miles away from the city.
When City Gate Officer heard these words, he immediately thanked Fat Cui profusely and arranged for the two hundred soldiers to guard the city gate. Then, he brought Fat Cui to look for Shi Jie from Tiger Roar City City.
When Schiker heard the news, he was frightened and then excited. What he was afraid of was that the enemy would arrive at his doorstep so quickly, and what he was excited about was that he finally had a chance to make a contribution to the enemy. As he asked the City Gate Officer to reinforce the guards at the city gates, he also asked everyone in the city to gather. He wanted to make an important speech, telling them to live and die together with the city. When the Fat Cui was about to leave, Shi Jie pulled him back and sternly ordered the Fat Cui. Without his order, he was absolutely not allowed to ask the other cities for help! Even if he couldn't become a wargod, he would still have to be a loyal city guard that bitterly guarded the city and spread critical information to his allies!
When Fat Cui heard this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart. This betrayal was not a loss at all.
In the middle of the night, Lord Shi Jie, the guard of Tiger Roar City City, delivered an important speech to all citizens of Tiger Roar City City and nearly three thousand warriors in the plaza in front of Castellan Mansion City. The speech took nearly two hours, and the draft was drawn up by Lord Shi Jie in half an hour. Until the end of the speech, when Lord Shi ordered someone to bring out over a hundred jars of fine wine to boost the soldiers' morale, the drowsy audience finally remembered to applaud and cheer for Lord Shi's excellent writing and speech skills.
Any serious matter that is touched by wine, especially three or more glasses, can easily change its flavor. For example, the Martialism Wine was meant to boost the morale of the city guards, but it ended up becoming a competition in which officers would pat their chests to show their loyalty to the city guards and soldiers would pat their chests to their officers to show their loyalty. Whoever drank more was more loyal. The wine was like character, the achievements of the war depended on the wine; the number of drinks could kill the enemy.
If all the praises made while drinking on the table could be redeemed one by one, the Fire Phoenix Army combined with Wulian Border Army plus people's militia one, two, three portions would simply not be enough for the people on the table to kill. Under the lead of Senior Shi Jiexi, the various military officers would be able to break through the Phoenix City Pass, flatten the northern province, and head straight for the imperial capital while singing and dancing.
It was a pity that Qu Feizhi did not drink, and the Fat Cui who was so determined to get the title of Marquis Crack also did not drink much. Not only did they not drink, they did not let their subordinates drink either, especially the Fat Cui. He even ”kindly” got his subordinates to replace the soldiers at the front of the city gate.
As a result, when almost all the soldiers in Tiger Roar City had entered the slumber caused by the alcohol, Qu Feizhi led his subordinates and rushed through the gap left by the Fat Cui through the city gate. They charged all the way into Castellan Mansion, rushing into Master Shi Jiexi's bedroom.
Six days after Tiger Running City's call for help was given out, Fire Phoenix Empire officer Qu Feizhi created the biggest battle result in the history of the two nations, with a mere hundred odd cavalrymen and not a single person being injured, he obtained the most important Tiger Roar City in the south of the Moqiu State.
