At noon, the news that Guan Yu's 14,000-strong army had left Yueling City under Guan Yu's leadership and were heading to Shu City to meet up with Liu Bei quickly reached Mu Qing, who was hiding in the dense forest.
A strange smile appeared on Mu Qing's face when he heard the news from the scout soldiers.
Guan Yu's army was sent out, leaving only 1,000 soldiers to guard Yueling City. This also meant that when the main force of the Guan Yu Army left Yueling City, Yueling City would be vulnerable.
"Deputy Commander…Where's General Arilia?”The scout soldier sent by Mu Qing to Yueling City to scout for information scanned the forest and was shocked to find that not only had Arilla disappeared, but three-quarters of the 20,000 Lu Bu soldiers had also disappeared. There were only about 5,000 soldiers hiding in the forest...
What was going on? Where did General Arilia and the other 15,000 soldiers of Lu Bu's army go?
"I sent him to the designated location to ambush Guan Yu's army.”Mu Qing smiled and said.
As early as two hours ago, Mu Qing had already ordered Arilia to lead 15,000 soldiers to prepare for an ambush on the road that they had to pass from Yueling City to Shu City. Only Mu Qing and Raven were left in the dense forest, as well as the 5,000 or so soldiers of Lu Bu's army.
With five thousand soldiers and Raven and himself, wouldn't it be more than enough to take down Yueling City, which only had a thousand Shu soldiers?
"The main force of Guan Yu's army has already left Yueling City. Deputy Commander, should we attack Yueling City now?”A lieutenant behind Mu Qing asked.
"There's no rush. The main force of Guan Yu's army has just left Yueling City. If we attack now, they'll be able to come back very quickly, so we can't rush. I know when to attack. Just wait for my order.”Mu Qing said.
" Young Master, why didn't you let me lead those 15,000 soldiers to ambush them? I've never led an army into battle before..." Rui Mengmeng, who was beside Mu Qing, couldn't help but complain.
"You? Leading troops to fight? Forget it, you can just be my little follower obediently. Why do you need to lead troops and fight?”Mu Qing knocked on Raven's head helplessly.
He handed the 15,000 soldiers over to Arilla because she was different from Raven. Arilla was smart, calm, and not reckless. Mu Qing was very assured to hand the soldiers over to her. But if he were to hand it over to Raven…he might end up with a complete annihilation.
"Hmph, actually, when I lead troops to fight, I'm also very powerful!”Raven said indignantly.
"Girl, can you be a little more shameless?”Mu Qing pinched Rui Mengmeng's smooth cheeks and teased,""You're so thin-skinned. How can you say that..."
An hour later, Mu Qing estimated that it was about time. He ordered the 5,000 Lu Bu soldiers hiding in the forest to attack Yueling City!
The bugle horn was blown, and five thousand Lu Bu's soldiers rushed out of the forest with ladders, charging towards Yueling City.
At the front of Lu Bu's 5,000 troops were Muqing and Raven.
The two of them held a sword in one hand and a saber in the other. They were the first to bear the brunt of the attack and plundered out like two streaks of light.
On the walls of Yueling City, the Shu Army soldiers were dumbfounded as they looked at the mighty enemy troops.
"Lu? Lu Bujun! This is Lu Bu's army!" The Shu soldiers on the city wall were terrified when they thought that there were only about a thousand soldiers guarding Yueling City.
"How is that possible? Not only did Lu Bu's army not hide in Xiapi City, but they actually dared to attack our Shu army's city. Are they crazy?”
Whether Lu Bujun was crazy or not, the truth was right in front of them. They had no choice but to believe it!
"Hurry up! Quickly send out the messenger to catch up to General Guan Yu! Tell him to return to support Yueling City!" A general of the Shu Army shouted.
"Yes, sir!"
"All troops, listen up! Prepare to face the enemy! Lord Guan Yu will be back soon, we must hold on…"
"Sou!" The sound of air being torn apart could be heard as an arrow shot towards the general of the Shu army who had given the order.
"Puchi!"
Before he could finish his words, he died on the spot!
Witnessing this tragic scene, the countless Shu soldiers on the city walls once again panicked.
"One kill!" Mu Qing, who was charging towards Yueling City, had an evil smile on his face. That arrow was shot by him.
"Looks like I'm quite talented in archery.”After killing the Shu general with one arrow, Mu Qing couldn't help but feel a little smug.
"Dance of Broken Wings!"
On the other side, Raven wasn't willing to be outdone. A ray of green light shot out and struck the city gate of Yueling City. A terrifying power raged out and the city gate instantly shattered into pieces.
The city gate was broken!
Countless soldiers of Lu Bu's army poured in from the city gates…they built ladders and climbed up the city walls, cooperating with the Lu Bu soldiers who had broken in to kill the frightened Shu soldiers.
This battle was completely one-sided.
One thousand Shu soldiers against five thousand Lu Bu soldiers, the result was obvious. Moreover, there was still Mu Qing and Raven. The outcome of this battle was already a foregone conclusion. The only suspense was how long the Shu army could hold out.
Could he last until Guan Yu rushed back to Yueling City?
No!
The only suspense was soon answered.
Under the leadership of Mu Qing and Raven, Lu Bu's army was like a hot knife through butter. In less than half an hour, they had completely captured Yueling City! Moreover, the casualties of Lu Bu's army had only reached a few dozen, and most of them were just injuries. There were only a few soldiers who had truly died in battle.
Victory! It was a great victory without a doubt!
This was within Mu Qing's expectations.
"The messenger sent from Yueling City should be catching up to Guan Yu and the others soon. Get ready, we are about to welcome the second battle!”Mu Qing instructed.
Although this battle was won easily, it was not the key. Winning this battle did not mean anything. The real battle had just begun!
