Chapter 82 General He, pay attention, don't lose points.
With Yue Shan's charge, the battle ended quickly.
The King of Chu frowned slightly at this moment.
"What's going on? The wine's gone cold, and he still hasn't come back?"
The strategist, Li Zhiyong, stroked his mustache and said, "Hey... Your Highness, don't be anxious. Perhaps Yue Shan has some skill, but I think it will only take a little more time."
We are surrounded by an army of 100,000, and there are many powerful soldiers. Moreover, we have been training for three years and Yue Shan's troops have only just been assembled.
I can't see any chance he could turn things around.
Registrar Wang Chang raised his head and said, “Your Highness, do not worry. Before the expedition, our army had ample food and supplies and high morale. We earned ten taels of silver for every enemy killed. There are a total of three hundred thousand taels of silver stored in the county.”
These lowly soldiers have never seen so much silver before; wouldn't they be desperately rushing in?
The King of Chu was now somewhat relieved.
Councilor Zhou Huai was somewhat worried.
"Your Highness, I've heard that the Yue family's Kun Yuan True Qi can condense into an Earth-elemental Dharma Image. I fear there might be unforeseen circumstances in this battle..."
The strategist roared, "Counselor Zhou, don't you dare disrupt the morale of the troops!"
The chief clerk chimed in, "He who disrupts our morale on the battlefield should be beheaded as a warning! General He is a peerless hero; his single strike is enough to split mountains and shatter rocks. How could anything go wrong?"
"That's right, if Councilor Zhou is afraid..."
The King of Chu was also somewhat annoyed by the noisy crowd.
"Shut up, all of you!"
Everyone lowered their heads, silently despising the other person.
Clearly, there was some internal strife within the King of Chu's ranks.
At that moment, he raised his head and vaguely sensed something was wrong. He was about to ask the silent King Yama beside him.
Unexpectedly, an urgent battle report arrived.
"Report!!!"
Everyone stared intently as a scout leaped from below the city walls and jumped directly onto the city tower, clearly a master of martial arts or higher.
"Tell me!! How's the battle going?!"
The scout, terrified, hurriedly reported, "Your Highness! General He has been defeated and his entire army has collapsed. Please, Your Highness, act quickly..."
"Pfft!!"
The King of Chu killed him with a single sword stroke.
"Don't try to demoralize my troops! He Tianlong, I order you to stay and guard Yingming County to await further military developments."
Liu Wenguang, I order you to send someone to investigate again and report back.
Wang Chang, I order you to lead men to inventory the money and provisions, and prepare rewards for our victorious soldiers.
"Li Zhiyong, issue an order to the entire army: Our army has won a great victory! I, the King, will prepare gold and silver jewels to publicly reward the soldiers."
After giving all these instructions, the King of Chu turned and slipped away.
Clearly, the King of Chu was also a master who grew up on drugs, possessing the cultivation level of a Grandmaster at its peak.
The King of Chu fled, and his personal guard of over a hundred men followed suit.
Yama and the landlord also ran away.
The remaining people exchanged glances.
Li Zhiyong quickly went down to relay the order.
Wang Chang immediately rushed to the warehouse.
"General He, the city walls are now in your hands!"
"General He, pull yourself together, don't embarrass yourself!"
"General He, I've admired you since we were kids, you must keep up the good work!"
He Tianlong: "???"
He was numb, and even began to doubt whether he had followed the wrong person.
Before the military report was even confirmed to be true or false, the King of Chu had already turned tail and fled?
We're abandoning the 100,000-strong army?
They've been training for two or three years!
He Tianlong turned to look at Liu Wenguang.
"Commander Liu isn't running away?"
Liu Wenguang chuckled: "Run? Run for what? Old He, why don't you just surrender?"
"Insolence! This general is by no means a disloyal or unjust person!"
"How about establishing your reputation before investing?"
He Tianlong glared at him: "You are incredibly audacious! I, He Tianlong, am utterly loyal to the King of Chu! Today, I will fight to the death to serve the King of Chu!"
Liu Wenguang suddenly realized: "General He is so righteous! Everyone, follow us to the death!"
After they finished speaking, they exchanged a silent glance.
Liu Wenguang quickly dispatched a surrender squad, ready to feign death and surrender at any time.
When Yue Shan's army approached the city, He Tianlong jumped off the city wall to challenge Yue Shan, saying that he would be loyal to the King of Chu. He was immediately killed by Yue Shan with a single blow, and his fate is unknown.
Liu Wenguang roared, "General He, well done! You didn't disgrace yourself! I will avenge you!"
Immediately, he jumped down to take on the challenge.
He was immediately given his boxed lunch.
The city gates were thus opened, and Yue Shan entered Yingming County without losing a single soldier.
Lao He and Lao Liu were carried away by Yue Shan's rear guard for treatment.
When the King of Chu received this news, he was dumbfounded.
He was no longer able to speak.
If you're going to say someone is disloyal, then they jumped down and got struck by lightning.
If we're talking about loyalty, he should have defended the city gate to the death.
What the hell is going on?
You're useless. What's the difference between this and just opening the door directly?
Therefore, the King of Chu only took away a small portion of the treasure, entered the West Jade River along the moat, and fled directly back to Yuzhou.
Yue Shan saw that the people had escaped by boat and had no way to give chase.
The grand plan for Leizhou, which had been in the works for several years, could not withstand such a crushing defeat.
At this moment, the King of Chu transformed from a spirited young nobleman into a young man filled with anger and resentment.
When he returned to the palace, he wanted to relax with his beloved maid, Jiu'er.
But they found that Jiu'er seemed dazed and not as alluring as before.
Clearly, he had been abandoned by Yu Linglong.
