From a small soldier in the frontier army, an immortal god of war was born

Chapter 147: Li Mu's Son, Zhao's Counterattack

Wei Yu, City Lord’s Mansion.

The bright sunshine shone on the burly man with white beard in the yard, who was sitting in a wooden chair and resting quietly.

He was dressed in brown iron armor, was over sixty years old, had handsome and masculine features, and one could vaguely see his handsome face in his youth.

General Li Mu was, and still is, a legendary figure famous throughout China.

"Father, I have carefully checked the city wall as you instructed. After it has been re-rammed, it can fully withstand the impact of the catapult."

"In addition, another 50,000 reinforcements have arrived from Handan to help us defend Wei Yu." Li Xian said respectfully as he stood beside him.

Li Mu nodded slightly and said calmly: "Young lady, are you a disciple of Shao Siming?"

This was said to Zhao Xunle who was standing beside Li Xian. Her face, which was constantly changing, was all curled up in a smile. She bowed and said, "General Li, you are too kind. I am Zhao Xunle. Fortunately, I have been cultivated by my master and have learned a little bit."

"You look a lot like her."

"Thank you for the compliment, General." Zhao Xunle swallowed and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Li Mu slowly opened his eyes and said calmly, "Don't be nervous. I am an old friend of Shao Siming. Since you, the Yin-Yang family, are willing to help our Zhao country resist the powerful Qin, you are the guest of honor anyway."

"Xian'er, please entertain me well."

"Yes, Father."

After Li Xian responded, he took three steps back before walking out of the City Lord's Mansion.

Zhao Xunle followed and patted his chest in fear, saying, "Your father is indeed worthy of being a Zhenwu master. He was able to see through my Thousand Faces Illusion without even looking at me."

"Ms. Zhao, you're joking." Li Xian distanced himself from her expressionlessly, always maintaining a polite attitude that was neither too close nor too far.

She was not angry, but just asked loudly: "General Li, may I ask when you will send out the troops? My Yin Yang School disciples are all waiting."

Li Xian said indifferently: "Miss Zhao, don't be anxious. Everything should be planned before taking action. Wu Fengdeng is our common enemy. I will find a way to deal with him. Don't worry."

……

Two days later, Jinyang.

The three gates were wide open, and the Qin army marched out of the city in a mighty force, dividing into three routes to detour towards Wei Yu according to the established plan.

Among them, the Fire Armor Army had more than 12,000 people, plus 40,000 ordinary soldiers, led by Wang Ben and marched along the northernmost front line. The seven battalions led by Wu Fengdeng were also among them.

On the carriage, he quietly looked at the detailed maps of Taiyuan County and Shangdang County that had just been drawn up by the scout camp, and memorized the topography of all the nearby cities.

"This trip is mainly to open up the main marching route. Haoshi, Qingfen, Qiluo Village and other places along the way are all small places. These more than 50,000 troops can easily flatten them."

"The only thing worth worrying about is Wei Yu. Although Li Mu is famous for defending the city, it doesn't mean he will only defend it blindly."

"Now that Jinyang has been lost, Wei Yu is alone and helpless. In addition to gathering forces to defend the city, Zhao may also send special forces to support us. The outcome of this battle is still uncertain."

Wu Fengdeng put away the map and subconsciously wanted to tell his own fortune, but in the last minute he gave up.

It is better to use Qimen divination at important and critical moments. If you use it every time and it becomes a habit, the chance of backlash in the future will greatly increase.

In the following five days, the troops led by Wang Ben were invincible. With their absolute advantage in strong manpower, they pushed forward all the way and captured small towns such as Haoshi and Qingfen in just a few days.

Wu Fengdeng's subordinates rarely participated in the several battles along the way. As Wang Ben said, there is no point in killing a chicken with a butcher knife. This was just the right opportunity for those ordinary soldiers to hone their skills so that they could serve as reserve forces for the Fire Armor Army.

As a result, Wu Fengdeng's subordinates did not have much military merit to claim. Although these wolf cubs were very upset, they had no choice but to watch from the sidelines, secretly waiting for a real big battle.

That night, based on the principle of expanding the radiation as much as possible, 50,000 fire-armored soldiers were scattered like flowers from heaven, and they were no more than five miles apart from each other.

Wu Fengdeng's subordinates were assigned to Qiluo Village.

It is located on a vast plain and surrounded by fertile farmland. It is a rare village with a good harvest against the backdrop of famine in the State of Zhao.

However, before they had time to enjoy their happiness, they were faced with the terrifying and intimidating dark Qin army.

Wu Fengdeng got out of the general's chariot, rode on his horse and walked in the front, looking at the villagers in tattered clothes on both sides of the dirt road.

Although this was a land of plenty, people were barely starving to death. Most of the people were half-naked and in tatters. They knelt on the ground, holding food and valuables in their hands, kowtowed and cried.

"General, General, please have mercy on us and spare our lives!"

"Please, military sir, have mercy..."

"Spare my life!"

"We simply don't have any more food."

……

Their ancestors have lived here for generations and have long been rooted here. Faced with the arrival of the Qin army, they could only kneel down and beg. As for the country, its rise and fall, they didn't care at all.

Wu Fengdeng looked at them in such a miserable state. Although he had been through many battles and had a hardened heart, he still couldn't help being touched at this moment.

It is not difficult to see here that this was originally a place where people could survive the winter without starving to death, but now it is in ruins. There are only a handful of young and middle-aged people in the village, and the rest are women, children, the elderly and the young. It is obvious that they have been plundered and forcibly conscripted by the Zhao army passing through, and there is even more than one group of Zhao soldiers.

Just like what happened to the original owner when Wu Fengdeng first traveled through time, soldiers and bandits have been like this since ancient times.

"Pass the order down. Requisition civilian houses for rest. Do not hurt anyone and do not move grain." Wu Fengdeng summoned Li Qun, who immediately passed the order.

However, Wu Fengdeng soon found that his actions were unnecessary. Given the current condition of Qiluo Village, not many soldiers were willing to rob it. A few melons and a few dates were not enough to make a fuss about.

Half an hour later, all the villagers huddled together near the ancestral hall out of fear, looking at the scattered bonfires burning around them, not daring to breathe.

"Master Wu, what's the password for tonight?"

Next to the fire, Qingdai handed over a bowl of rice porridge. Wu Fengdeng paused and said slowly, "Xiaomi."

"okay!"

Qingdai immediately left and spread the news to various departments.

As the night deepened and became quieter, Wu Fengdeng leaned against a dead tree and closed his eyes to rest. The fire in front of him crackled. He suddenly didn't know how much time had passed. An inexplicable feeling of palpitations made him frown and open his eyes.

"There's always a sense of foreboding..."

Wu Fengdeng murmured, and then a loud shout brought him back to his senses.

"General Wu! The Zhao army! The Zhao army is coming!"

This sound quickly caused an uproar in Qiluo Village. Wu Fengdeng was the first to walk to the edge of the village, looking at the distant horizon with a serious expression.

In that extreme field of vision, one could indeed see a large ball of fire flickering, and the rumbling sound of horse hooves gradually became louder.

"Assemble and return to the base!" Wu Fengdeng gave the order without hesitation.

Judging from the scale of the fire and the dense sound of horse hooves, the Zhao army in the east has at least 10,000 people, and they cannot be resisted by just two or three thousand people.

What’s more crucial is that we don’t know whether there are Zhao troops in other directions, so we cannot rule out the possibility of their complete encirclement.

So he quickly mounted his horse and led the soldiers of the Seventh Battalion towards the direction of Wang Ben's main camp.

"Mr. Wu, look!"

Qingdai's anxious voice made him quickly look back to the northeast, and his face became even gloomier. His guess was right, there were also flashes of fire in the northeast, they were Guo Huan's subordinates, although they were far away, he could still see some human figures swaying.

The Zhao army is counterattacking and encircling!
At the moment, the most urgent task for the Qin army was to gather and return to the base and break out of the encirclement, so Wu Fengdeng pulled the reins hard, and the warhorse neighed loudly: "Cavalry, follow me to charge and clear the way, and the rest of you speed up!"

The strong horses' hooves trampled the dust, and then a thousand cavalrymen followed closely behind, forming a torrent that rumbled and shook the earth.

However, it turned out that the Zhao army's counterattack was more fierce than he had imagined. Before he saw Wang Ben's main camp, a large number of Zhao troops rushed out of the forests on the small paths on the north and south sides, and quickly gathered into a line of defense, intending to intercept Wu Fengdeng and other troops.

"Don't stop, rush out!"

His eyes turned cold as he looked at the shield defense formation of Zhao's subordinates. Instead of slowing down, he directly pulled the reins, swung the sun-covered spear in a circle, and broke all the spears that were stabbed at him.

Swish swish!
Wu Fengdeng instantly broke through the Zhao army's defense line, and Yanri killed people in all directions, soaked in blood all the time, and was extremely ferocious.

After Wu Fengdeng, the fire-armored cavalry further widened the gap in the defense line. Their iron hooves trampled the flesh and blood of the Zhao army. In an instant, blood flowed like a river. It was a horrific sight. They forced their way out of the bloody path.

Soon, Wu Fengdeng and the horse under his crotch were soaked in blood. When he was about to break through the defense of Zhao Army, a sharp sound of breaking through the air suddenly rang out!
clang!
The sun was blocked in an instant, and the scarlet spine blade was visible in the sparks.

"Zhao Xunle!"

Wu Fengdeng looked closely and saw Zhao Xunle walking towards him in the crowd with a sinister smile, with a long spine knife dragging on the ground.

Not only her, but also the young man in brown armor riding a horse on the other side was also staring at him eagerly, with the long sword in his hand shining coldly in the moonlight.

"Who is coming?"

"I, General Li Xian, specially invite General Wu to die today."

Li Xian's eyes were bright and he looked very masculine and upright.

Wu Fengdeng narrowed his eyes slightly: "You are the son of Li Mu."

"My father, Li Mu..."

Li Xian nodded in response, but before he could finish his words, Wu Fengdeng from the opposite side shot an arrow at an astonishing speed.

whoosh~clang!
Although the arrow came swiftly, Li Xian was no ordinary man. He cut it down to the ground accurately. When he looked up again, Wu Fengdeng in front of him had taken advantage of the gap and rode away on his horse.

drive!
Wu Fengdeng looked serious and dignified. He ignored the two men behind him and swung the Sun-Covering Sword with all his might to charge at the Zhao army in front of him.

If it were normal times, he would definitely not be afraid of these two people, but now the troops are surrounded and the situation is extremely urgent, and there is no time to delay.

Fortunately, his all-out charge paid off, and in an instant he broke out of the encirclement. In his extreme vision, he saw a black dot, which was the main camp where Wang Ben was.

Rushed out!

Wu Fengdeng felt a little relieved, but before he could be happy for long, he discovered that the soldiers from the Seventh Battalion behind him had not caught up with him at all!

Li Xian and Zhao Xunle directly led people to forcibly block the way out. Li Qun and others were no match for these two people. Their momentum was blocked for a while. The surrounding Zhao troops continued to come to besiege them, and the situation became more and more critical.

"Damn it!"

Wu Fengdeng did not hesitate at all and immediately turned around and rushed into the Zhao army again...

Green phenol city.

Wang Ben angrily lifted the tent curtain. There was already a great noise in the camp, and all the lieutenants were urgently gathering the soldiers.

"Can the various departments return to their bases?!"

"General Wang!"

An officer came running over in a hurry, looking anxious, saying, "Most of the deputy commanders have already returned to their posts. Only Wu Fengdeng from Qiluo Village was blocked on the road."

Wang Ben subconsciously raised his head and looked towards the east, gritting his teeth and saying, "Send another scout to find out the situation over there at Wu Fengdeng!"

"Here!"

"General Wang, Director Zhao is about to succeed in encircling us. We must break out of the encirclement as soon as possible!"

At this time, a scout was sent by the commander-in-chief to report, which instantly attracted the attention of many generals around. Wang Ben said in a deep voice: "Wait a little longer, Wu Fengdeng's subordinates have not returned yet."

Originally, when he dispersed his men to deploy defenses, he had already taken into account the possibility of a surprise attack by the Zhao army, so the defense locations were set not far away and were close to each other. If there was a surprise attack, they could be gathered together in a short time.

The other troops returned to their units normally, but Wu Fengdeng's situation was unknown and he had not returned yet.

"General Wang, there are too many Zhao troops in the east. We can't break out!"

The scouts who were sent to gather information about Wu Fengdeng's subordinates arrived one after another with injuries, and the faces of the generals became even gloomier.

They waited like this for nearly a quarter of an hour, until the sound of killing was heard around Qingfen, and the defenders had already started fighting with the Zhao army.

Qingfen is just a small town, not strong enough to defend itself. It will not be able to hold out for long. The key is to break out quickly.

Seeing that there was no time to waste, if they did not leave, these 50,000 soldiers would be surrounded here and attacked by the enemy. Wang Ben had no choice but to harden his heart and order a breakout to the north where the Zhao army's encirclement was the weakest.

As for Wu Fengdeng's subordinates in the east, they can only hope for the best.

……

Clang!

Wu Fengdeng swept out again, forcibly breaking through the combined attack of Li Xian and Zhao Xunle, and the strong wind he stirred up cleared away the surrounding five meters.

He looked around quickly, his frown deepening.

The massive Zhao army completely surrounded his seven battalions of soldiers. They could only line up for defense and barely maintain their formation, but they would not be able to hold out for long.

This is obviously coming towards me!

"We can't delay any longer. It's impossible to rush to Qingfen and join Wang Ben. Now we can only think of a way to break out of the encirclement first."

Wu Fengdeng made up his mind in a flash and activated the Qimen Sipan with all his strength. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his brain. It was obvious that it was very difficult for him to calculate a way out in this complex crisis situation.

But at least there was hope. There was a bright light in the direction of the door, pointing straight to the east.

"All soldiers, listen up! The Dragon Flying Formation will charge straight to the east!"

"Li Qun, take the lead!"

Wu Fengdeng roared loudly while activating the Blood Burst Technique.

"Wind, wind, wind!"

The two thousand elite soldiers showed their unparalleled ability to act at this moment. Even when facing desperate situations, they did not panic at all. They formed a military formation in an orderly manner in an instant. Li Qun was seen brandishing his sword and roaring.

"kill!"

"Stop them!"

Li Xian's calm eyes finally revealed deep surprise. He did not expect that the Qin army could have such efficient organization under such circumstances. He immediately ordered to stop them at all costs.

However, just as he moved, a gun tip instantly made the hair on his body stand on end, and he could not help but take two steps back.

Looking closely, Wu Fengdeng was surrounded by a blood-red color, his eyes were filled with extreme brutality, and the surging energy and blood made Li Xian and Zhao Xunle's eyelids twitch!
