On the official road, flags were fluttering in the wind. A mighty army was advancing rapidly. Looking at the number, there were at least ten thousand people.
There was a big word on the flag-Hou!
The man in the lead was clad in armor and riding a tall horse. He was none other than Great General Hou Junji.
"Report ~~~"
Suddenly, a fast horse galloped over. It was the scout that had been sent out.
Panicking, he dismounted from his horse and knelt on one knee. He cupped his fists and bowed." Great General, bad news. There's an enemy?"”
"Nonsense!" Hou Junji rebuked. This was Mount Cuihua, not far from Chang 'an. How could there be any enemy?”
The scout replied," Smoke and dust are rolling in front of us, covering the sky like dark clouds. Based on my experience, there are at least a hundred thousand of them! What was terrifying was that they moved very quickly, as if they were all cavalry. The subordinate confirmed the truth and listened carefully. The rumbling sound was still clearly audible.”
Hou Junji didn't seem to believe his words.
Could it be that Luo Yi's army had already attacked?
How was this possible?
Li Jing had already led his army to encircle and suppress them. It was impossible for Luo Yi's army to suddenly arrive near Chang 'an without any news.
Could it be the rebel army from another route?
Li Yuan, King of Lujiang? King Li Xiaochang of Yi 'an? King Changle, Li Youliang?
Or perhaps it was the hidden crown prince Li Jiancheng's private party?
No!
Cheng Yao Jin, General Cheng, General Yuchi Gong, General Yuchi, General Su Dingfang…they had all led their troops to quell the rebellion.
How could a bunch of motley crew be their match?
However, the intruders…
"Everyone, stand by!"
Hou Junji bellowed as he whipped his horse and galloped forward.
Dozens of cavalry followed closely behind, protecting his left and right.
"This…"
After walking a few li, Hou Junji saw a cloud of dust that blotted out the sun, and he couldn't suppress his shock.
However, due to the high mountains and dense forests, they could not see the marching troops.
"Giddyup!"
Hou Junji whipped his horse, urging it to gallop even faster.
A deputy general caught up and advised Jian,"General, we should return to Chang 'an as soon as possible! The enemy was outnumbered, and without any fortifications, there was no possibility of competing with them. Chang 'an City still has tens of thousands of soldiers. With us, we have a chance to fight with them by relying on the city wall.”
"When General Li Jing returns, it will be the time for the rebel army to be destroyed!”
What he said made sense. It seemed to be the best choice.
However, wasn't it too cowardly to run back to Chang 'an in fear after seeing the billowing smoke and dust?
How could Hou Junji be a coward?
He ignored the deputy general's advice and continued to speed up.
Very quickly, they ran close enough, chose a high ground, and rode up.
"This…"
As soon as they reached the high ground, their field of vision became much wider. Looking into the distance, the terrifying scene almost scared their hearts out! What army? It was a beast tide! Oh my god, it was terrifying. It was too terrifying. All he could see was a black mass of tigers, wolves, wild boars, big black bears, and so on.
Not only did they run on the ground, but they also flew in the sky.
What was going on?
How could there be such a spectacle?
In nature, it was impossible for different kinds of ferocious birds and beasts to coexist peacefully, let alone gather into an army and launch a mighty long-distance attack!
But this…
F * ck!
All of them were speechless as they swallowed their saliva.
The deputy general called out carefully," General…"
Hou Junji didn't respond. He just stared blankly at the Beast Tide…it was indeed terrifying, so terrifying that even he, a general who had been through hundreds of battles, felt his heart tremble. Fortunately, the terrifying beast tide did not come for them, but instead entered Mount Cuihua.
The deputy wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and muttered,""It seems to be a migration of wild beasts."
"Foolish!" Hou Jun reprimanded.
"Pa ~~~"
He lashed the horse with his whip and galloped in the direction of the beast tide.
He wanted to get closer and see what was going on.
…………
After coming out of Qinling, Mu Yikuan led all the animals under his control and rushed towards Chang 'an. Due to the python king's extraordinary speed, he and Xiaomiao took the lead. However, he did not choose to go directly to Chang 'an, but to Mount Cuihua! It wasn't that he didn't want to do it in one go, but that he couldn't.
If he did that, wouldn't it be equivalent to attacking the city?
Wouldn't it scare Li Shimin and the millions of people in Chang 'an to death?
Therefore, he had to find an opportunity to lead the animals into the city.
Ever since he had conquered Black Wind Mountain, Cuihua Mountain had been chosen by Mu Yikuan and became one of his most important bases. It was much more convenient to store animals on Mount Cuihua than in Chang 'an. Over the past ten days, the vicious dogs that he had purchased from all over the world were sent to Mount Cuihua to settle down temporarily.
The vicious dogs and the animals he brought from Qinling would be his first beast army.
