Under the pitch-black night sky, the moonlight seemed to have become a little dimmer than usual. Thick dark clouds floated in the sky. In the desolate wilderness, one could occasionally see ruins that had been destroyed by the war.
A team of about a hundred people was currently galloping at high speed. The leader was a young youth who wore the Seven Seas Flood Dragon Armor. He carried six short spears on his back and a long halberd in his hand. His tender face had long lost the innocence that a young man should have, leaving only a thick coldness and gloom.
This youth was Xiang Shaoyu. Although it seemed like the battle between him and Mu Wu was a draw, in fact, Xiang Yan's death had already indicated that he had lost to Mu Wu. Victory or defeat was not something that was hard for him to accept. After all, he was only thirteen years old. When he grew up, he was confident that he would not lose to anyone in this world!
But tonight, his grandfather still died under Mu Wu's blade in order to protect him!
The youth who was not much older than him had a more indifferent heart than him. When dealing with enemies, he would always cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, leaving no future troubles.
Until now, Xiang Shaoyu still remembered that slash. It was as if the Nine Serenities had descended again, making people lose the courage to resist. It was his grandfather who protected him with his own life!
"Grandpa, from today onwards, I won't lose to anyone!”
The 600,000 strong army of Qin State was pushing forward crazily, and the 100,000 strong defeated Chu army had already been gathered by them. Unexpectedly, they encountered Li Xin's ambush. Although the enemy only had 40,000 people, the Chu army had already been killed.
The 100,000-odd soldiers were actually scattered. Helpless, Xiang Shaoyu ordered Long Qie to lead a group of soldiers to lure the Qin army away. He, Xiang Liang, and Fan Zeng led the 100 Xiang Family private soldiers to escape towards Shouchun from another direction.
Xiang Shaoyu felt very uncomfortable using his subordinates as bait, but he was surprised to find that the eyes of Long Qi, Xiang Liang, and Fan Zeng all revealed a light of admiration.
He wasn't a person who was afraid of death, but he was willing to go against his principles at this critical moment and sacrifice his chariot to save his commander in a desperate situation to seek a way out. This was what a mature general should do. This was war, this was militarism.
Xiang Yan had finally used her own blood to pour out the steel-like heart of the West Chu Overlord.
"Giddyup!" Xiang Shaoyu shouted and increased his speed. He would definitely escape and return to Shouchun. He would wait for an opportunity to destroy the Qin Dynasty in the future!
"Report!" In the midst of the rolling black clouds of the armored army, a scout of the Qin army quickly jumped down from the horse that was still slowing down. His movements were simple and smooth, clearly an elite soldier.
"General Wang, General Meng, Young Master, General Li asked me to send a message. His group isn't with Xiang Shaoyu and the others. It's the bait of the Xiang Clan's general, Long Qie. General Li is currently fighting with Long Qie, trying not to let him escape.”
This Qin soldier clearly explained Li Xin's message.
"En, we got it. Go back and tell General Li to continue chasing Long Qie.”Wang Jian instructed.
"Yes, sir!" The messenger replied with respect and once again mounted his horse, leaving quickly.
Wang Jian said,"The Xiang Shi Clan has been in charge of the army for generations. Although Xiang Yan is dead, the danger of the Xiang Shi Clan is still not small. We need to treat it with caution." We can't let him escape."
Meng Wu nodded and praised,"General is right. What does Young Master think?"
Mu Wu had killed Xiang Yan, and his prestige in the Qin army could be said to be as high as the sun in the sky. Wang Jian and Meng Wu would also ask for his opinion on every matter. This was also their political wisdom.
Both of them knew that Mu Wu had made a great contribution in this battle. When he returned to Xianyang in the future, he would definitely win Ying Zheng's favor. Mu Wu was a young master himself, and now that he had made another great contribution, his attitude would definitely change, or perhaps he would become arrogant.
If they treated him badly in any way, and Mu Wu was dissatisfied with him, it would be a huge disaster for them if he said a few words to Ying Zheng.
Wang Jian and Meng Wu's thoughts weren't wrong. It was a pity that Mu Wu wasn't such a person, but they didn't know this. Although Mu Wu could see through their intentions, he also knew that this was an act to avoid political risks. In short, they were worried that he would be successful and cause trouble for them.
He did not point it out and instead felt a bit of admiration for Wang Jian and Meng Wu. No wonder the Wang and Meng families were able to stand firm in Great Qin and obtain the trust of the past rulers; their political wisdom was truly extraordinary.
"The two generals are veterans of the battlefield. Mu Wu is just a boorish man.”
Mu Wu's humility once again gained Wang Jian and Meng Wu's good impression. Wang Jian's heart also increasingly felt that it was right to stand on Mu Wu's side in the future. As for Meng Wu, he was starting to feel a little bitter.
The more outstanding Mu Wu was, the greater danger Great Qin would face in the future. Fu Su was the eldest son, but if Mu Wu's performance surpassed Fu Su's, who would inherit this massive empire?
Of course, if anyone won, Meng tribe's status wouldn't change much as long as their descendants were outstanding enough. Currently, Meng Tian and Meng Yi were both outstanding enough.
What worried Meng Wu was that his eldest son, Meng Tian, had a good relationship with Fu Su.
Suppressing this thought in his heart, Meng Wu decided to go back and have a talk with his eldest son.
Putting Meng Wu's thoughts aside, after considering the possible escape routes of Xiang Shaoyu, the three of them led the army and began to choose the path closest to Shouchun.
Thanks to Muwu's invention of football in the past six months, the Qin army had greatly trained their physical strength. Otherwise, they might not have been able to catch up.
While Xiang Shaoyu and the others were resting, Wang Jian trio finally caught up. It wasn't that Xiang Shaoyu didn't want to keep running, but they were already defeated generals. They didn't stop the entire way and had already reached their limit. They could only take a break. They didn't expect that this time, the Qin army would catch up!
