C48 (1/2)

To the people who were zealous of the Moqiu State, victory was easy to come by. When they rushed to the Tiger Roar City, the city was already empty. Other than the dozen or so large granaries that were still emitting thick smoke, the rest seemed to be acceptable. There weren't many broken walls that needed their help to repair, and only a few orphans and widows needed their comfort. Speaking of which, this city, this food, and this person were not his own. They belonged to the Five Your Highness Tiger King, so it was not his place to feel sorry for them. Moreover, the Five Your Highness Tiger King s were still far away from the Phoenix City Pass.

But to the troops sent by the three Tiger King s, this empty city was troublesome. They didn't care how many people had died in the city, didn't care how many houses the city had destroyed, didn't care how much food it had lost, they cared only about the army that had disappeared.

According to the reports from the scouts, they found traces of that troop in the southwest direction. According to the reports from the scouts, they found traces of that troop in the southwest direction. Based on their route, they should be rushing towards the Phoenix City Pass. The other party's intention was very clear. They wanted to attack Moqiu Army from behind, but that did not exclude the possibility of following the flow of the Surging Waves River to its source.

General Bai Wusheng, who was under the command of the Fourth Tiger King, looked at his two comrades calmly and said, ”General Xu, General Han, do the two of you want to follow me in pursuit, or do you need to ask the nine and ten kings for permission before making a decision?”

Even though he said those words harshly, what did he mean by them? If you, Bai Wusheng, can make a decision in the face of an enemy, then Xu Keding and Han Zaixin are henchmen?

Han Zaixin glanced at Xu Keding, and said indifferently, ”Your majesty does not receive any orders from the outside. From the looks of it, this time, I have to give it my all to chase after them, and kill them off by the side of the Surging Waves River! ”

Xu Keding was not a kind person either, he slapped the table hard, ”One word, chase it! If he caught up, he would do it! This matter must not be taken advantage of! ”

Bai Wusheng calmly placed the teacup that had been knocked down by Xu Keding to the side, and pointed at the map. ”Right now, the enemy troops are heading towards the southwest, which directly threatens the back of the army and their Moqiu City. I suggest that we split our troops into three groups and attack from three sides, completely surrounding them and eating them! ”

For the army of a few hundred thousand who were besieging Phoenix City Pass, let alone Ripple, these three hundred plus people could not even be considered as bubbles. Whether it was them appearing behind the Moqiu Army or under the Moqiu City, for Moqiu State, this was something that had never happened before. A Moqiu that had not been stepped on for more than a thousand years actually had such a group of random soldiers running amok, this was intolerable!

Xu Keding was in the middle while Han Zaixin and Bai Wusheng were on the left and right of each other. The three troops were like three sharp tridents as they pounced towards the expedition army led by the Xiu'er.

But it was easy to say, but it was really hard to chase. Although Moqiu State was a nomadic place where everyone could ride and shoot, they were most famous for their infantry. The reason was simple. Their horses were placed on the prairie and could be fed with grass at will, but they could not be compared to the army horses like Fire Phoenix Empire who were eating bean cake and oats. Since he didn't have the advantage in absolute speed, he could only rely on his stupid method of walking and sleeping less than his opponent. Xu Keding, who was in the middle, was fine, he was just a straight line running, but the other two people were suffering, not only did they have to run, they also had to make a huge detour. So what if he didn't run? Even though the three of them had a beautiful mouth, no one dared to be careless about this matter. What if these three hundred or so people were to light a fire under the Moqiu City or go outside of the city to burn some food? If they really were to be blamed, the three Tiger King s would at most roll their eyes at them. Together, they had more than ten thousand men under them, but they couldn't catch three hundred random soldiers? Knock your head open to see if it's paste.

More than ten thousand Moqiu Soldier began a race to the death on the Great Prairie. They only brought food for three days, and all of them were stir-fried noodles. The heavy crossbows and shields were all thrown away. Everyone was only allowed to carry one weapon. The three generals understood what was going on. There were three hundred of them, and even if they were all martial arts experts who could fight against ten, they had more than five thousand men under their command. Twenty against one would be too tiring to fight them.

Bai Wusheng issued the strictest order since he took office, the troops under his command were all thrown into disorder, he only said one word: ”Run!” A soldier does not need a general, a soldier does not need one.

Target: Wolf Drinking Town upstream of Surging Waves River.

Distance: 300 miles.

Time: three days!

If the military comparison officer arrived at the county town first, then the soldier would be the official, and the official would be replaced by the soldier. On the evening of the third day, General Bai would close the city gates on time. Those who hadn't entered the city by then, regardless of their rank or military age, would be killed without mercy!

The Wolf Drinking Town was located at the side of the Surging Waves River, and it was in a slightly northern direction. The geographical location could coincidentally block the Flamephoenix Army's route to the Moqiu City, moreover, this was an important location to release the water, both the ship and the food supply were present. If something were to happen downstream, he could also quickly arrive by boat. It was also because of this that Bai Wusheng would rather bring his troops and run a bit longer in order to seize this position.

Once the order was given, all the soldiers could just run away. At this time, they didn't care if the road was straight or not, they didn't want to lose face, the head on their neck was the most important thing. From the officers to the soldiers, everyone tried everything they could to run towards the Wolf Drinking Town. He had the ability to snatch horses and donkeys. Even if he could get a dog, it would be fine as long as he could ride it. He had no choice but to scamper off on his own. At most, he would have two hours less to sleep than others.

On the afternoon of the second day after their departure, Bai Wusheng received a report from a scout. At the same time, the group of warriors who were being carried away had already dispersed. It was likely that the Flamephoenix Chaos soldiers had already panicked and abandoned them.

Bai Wusheng immediately ordered the scouts to report to the military situation to the two generals Han Zaixin and Xu Keding while he himself ordered his subordinate troops to finish resting. He then stood up and rushed to the Wolf Drinking Town.
