Crimson Mountain, within the palace of the Crow Kingdom.
At this moment,
Qiu Liju sat on the throne and enjoyed the singing and dancing below. He would applaud from time to time. Clearly, he did not have the slightest bit of worry. After all, the army had already been dispatched.
Now, they only needed to wait for Ugor's good news.
The Crow Tribe wasn't the only ones on the expedition this time. There was also the 150,000-strong army led by the Immortal General Taba Xiong.
Therefore, the outcome of this battle was already imaginable. The Han army would definitely suffer a crushing defeat. It would be a simple matter for 300,000 elites of the two races to annihilate a Han army.
However, at this moment, a guard stumbled in from outside the hall. The latter knelt on the ground and said.
"Your Majesty, we just received a report from the frontlines. A group of Han soldiers has attacked the outer walls of our palace. At present, the city walls had already been conquered, and the general guarding the city had also been killed by the Han generals.”
"What?"
Qiu Liju, who was originally smiling, said,
After hearing this news, they were left stunned. This was the palace, and the Han army was attacking this place? They even conquered the city walls. Now, the Tiger Army, Leopard Army, and Eagle Army were all fighting outside. There were only a few tens of thousands of people near the Royal City.
If the city wall had not been breached, perhaps they could still have held on.
But now…
Liancheng had already been occupied. Didn't that mean that the Han army had already reached their doorstep? And the kind that could rush in at any time?
"Your Majesty, don't worry. There are still dozens of tribes living near our palace. As long as you give the order, we can recruit nearly 200,000 warriors. Even if the Han army occupies the city walls, they won't be able to charge in.”Looking at the flustered Qiu Liju, the High Priest beside him spoke.
After all,
The Crow King couldn't afford to fall into chaos. If even Qiu Liju fell into chaos, then the Crow Tribe would be completely finished.
"However, we can't just sit around and wait for our deaths when the palace walls are captured, can we? If the Han army goes berserk and burns down the Crimson Mountain, we will become the eternal sinners of the Crow Tribe.”
Qiu Liju's face revealed some panic. Even he did not know what to do for a moment.
The Han army fought to the ancestral court,
This had never happened before.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? We still have 150,000 warriors outside. As long as you send someone out now and contact Wugrir to lead the army back, I believe that in a few days, our 150,000 soldiers will be able to surround the Han army from the outside. At that time, with your order, we will lead the warriors of the royal court to charge out. At that time, the city wall will be the burial ground of the Han army.”
As the High Priest spoke, Qiu Liju nodded.
Not bad, this method was quite good.
Not only could they kill the Han army, but more importantly, they could also ensure that the royal court would not be lost.
"Alright, we will do as the High Priest says."
As Qiu Liju spoke, he sent someone to rush out to report.
……
At the same time,
On the vast grassland, Qin Mu was leading the army towards the direction of the Crimson Mountain Royal Court.
A cavalryman rushed over from afar.
When he was almost in front of her, he got off his horse and half-knelt on the ground.
"Reporting to General, General Li Cunxiao has led his army to conquer the city walls of the palace. Currently, the surroundings of the city walls of Chi Mountain have been completely cleared.”
"Good! Well done."
Qin Mu nodded, and his face was filled with a smile of praise.
As expected of a valiant general, he was able to take down the city walls in such a short period of time. This way, the army could march straight in and attack the Crow Royal Court.
"Order the entire army to advance at full speed.”
Qin Mu said indifferently after signaling the scout to rest.
Then, he said,
A messenger passed down the order, and the Tiger Troop marched in the direction of Chishan City. At the same time, the various tribes living around the Chishan Royal Court also learned that the city wall had been breached, and all the Crow Tribes were furious.
One had to know,
In their hearts, this Chi Shan was rather sacred.
That was the origin of the Crow Tribe.
Therefore, this place held a rather important position in the hearts of all the Crow Tribes. Hence, after Qiu Liju issued the warning, all the warriors in the tribe gathered in the direction of the palace.
Just as the high priest had said, in a short period of time, 200,000 warriors had gathered.
By the time the Crow Tribe had gathered,
Qin Mu also led the army to the city wall of Crimson Mountain. When he saw the various defensive facilities on the city wall, he couldn't help but be speechless.
As expected of the capital. These people really put in a lot of effort. Most likely, all the defensive resources that they had snatched over the years were used here, right?
From the outside,
This so-called imperial city wall was simply similar to a hedgehog.
If they wanted to attack directly, they would have to expend a lot of Tiger Troop soldiers to break in. Fortunately, they had sent Li Cunxiao to take down the enemy as soon as possible. Otherwise, they would have lost the opportunity to attack while the army was stalling.
At that time…
If they wanted to conquer this city again, it would probably not be so easy.
Leading the army into the city wall, Qin Mu looked at Li Cunxiao who had many new injuries and said,""This battle has been hard on you."
"General, you're too kind, but…"
"What's wrong?" Qin Mu asked when he saw the latter hesitating.
Li Cunxiao asked in puzzlement. After all, if they had just conquered the city wall and continued to attack, they could have taken the opportunity to attack the royal court. However, Qin Mu actually made him stop.
"General, why didn't you let us charge into the palace after we conquered the city walls? According to our scouts, the Royal Court has gathered many Crow Tribe members to defend the Royal Court. It seems that they intend to fight to the death with us.”
"Ke ke, Cunxiao, although you are brave in battle, you are not as good as Bowen in this aspect. That's right. After you occupy the city wall, you can continue to lead your troops to attack the Royal Court. However, don't forget that this is the Crow Tribe's territory. At that time, you will probably be surrounded by the Crow Tribe, and the city wall will be taken back by the Crow Tribe.”
Qin Mu said with a smile.
This was also what Liu Bowen had told him. This military counselor who had the ability to unify the country was always able to find flaws in the battle.
Furthermore, the Crow Tribe was trying to use the various tribes to buy time. How could Qin Mu not have the thought of wiping out all the forces of the Crow Royal Court in one battle?
As long as he could wipe out all the troops near the palace.
Then, in the future, Qin Mu's name would probably be able to make the children of the foreign races stop crying.
