Chapter 1201: Crushing Victory!

wouldn't let us go."Hearing this, the timid woman, holding her child, began to sob.Deep in the forest, being hunted by a pack of wolves, it's almost certain death.The village head, waving his pipe an...Lao Khan was still confused. Another thunderclap exploded nearby, startling the horses who lost their bearings and ran towards Gu Mountain.

Just then, the lord arrived with his men, charging in. With a single blow of his sword, he severed the old king's head, sending it soaring into the sky. Blood gushed out like a fountain.

The fifth prince chased after him, intending to save his father, but he witnessed his father being killed.

He tried to turn his horse around and escape, but he was caught by Wei Erniu again. They both received the same fatal blow, sending him to join his father.

Weierniú burst into laughter, grabbed the heads of Prince Five and Old Sweat King, and tied them to his belt. Then he chased after the remaining barbarians!

Li Laosi was not to be outdone, his long blade hacked and slashed like cutting melons and vegetables, frantically sending souls to the underworld!

The Lord Hou even took the lives of two people with one strike, which was normal.

The rest of the vanguard troops, seeing this, became even more enthusiastic and roared with excitement, chasing down and slaughtering the fleeing barbarians!

In a match between Liang Jun, the most important thing is momentum!

One side was caught completely off guard in their sleep, poisoned to death by half of them and blown to bits by the other half. The two leaders were also taken out, leaving the rest with no will to fight back at all.

On one side, well-fed and full of vengeance, aided by the heavenly thunder, it's like adding wings to a tiger!

At a glance, the difference is obvious!

In a mere moment, the barbarian camp was leveled. Tents were trampled, fires extinguished and scattered everywhere, igniting the dry underbrush nearby. Thick smoke billowed up into the sky.

At the faraway border fortress, countless soldiers have been watching Mount Gu for a long time.

Every day, soldiers requested to go into battle, but Jiang Cheng held up the imperial decree and refused to comply.

With the enemy situation unclear, it is unknown how many soldiers would be enraged and spewing blood.

At this moment, seeing the thick smoke billowing from Gu Shan and the shouts of killing echoing endlessly, the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army could no longer bear it.

Someone pointed at Jiang Cheng's nose and shouted, "Jiang Cheng, how could you be so ungrateful after the Duke treated you with such kindness The Duke entrusted the Northern Expeditionary Army to you, and this is how you repay him You stood by and watched as he died! Have your conscience been eaten by dogs!"

Jiang Cheng's face was pale and his gaze fixed on Mount Longhu. He still refused to speak, refusing to open the city gates to let in reinforcements.

Only when the commotion in the direction of Gushan Mountain subsided, and the battle seemed to be drawing to a close, did a hint of malice appear in his eyes.

But before he could put on a show and find some excuses for himself, the general was already furious. He drew his sword and shouted loudly, "Brothers, charge with me! Let's save the Marquis!"

Immediately, thousands of soldiers responded, "I'm willing to fight to the death and break out of the pass to save the Lord!"

The gate of the border fortress swung open almost instantly, and warhorses thundered out, racing towards Mount Gu!

At the foot of Mount Gu, the battle was nearing its end.

Occasionally, lucky barbarians managed to flee, but dozens of vanguard soldiers pursued them, hacking and slashing until they fell beneath their horses, trampled into a bloody paste...

Wei Erniu's horse stepped on a corpse, accidentally breaking its leg. He jumped down in frustration, just about to find a new horse, but was pulled into a relatively intact tent.

He was startled, but when he saw the person's face, he sheathed his sword and asked, "Big brother Yéshān, what are you doing here"

Yashima motioned for him to lower his voice, then leaned close to his ear and whispered something.

Wei Erniu's eyes widened as he listened, jumping up and down in agitation.

"No, I'm going with the Marquis!"

Ye Shan pulled him hard, whispering fiercely, "This is an order! Your wife and children are still waiting for you to reunite on Broken Gold Beach! Besides, after the limelight passes, you can still seek out the Marquis. Do the Marquis's bidding now, or else see what face you have to go before the Marquis later!"

Weierniu panted heavily for a long time before finally having to concede. He grumbled resentfully, "It's all that damn thing's fault! Before it tried to get our Lord Hou to fight for it, risking his life and limb, it was so close and friendly with him!

"Now that the barbarians have been driven out and the border has been reclaimed, they see our lord as an obstacle! It's for the best that the lord is gone, we don't have to see that ungrateful wretch anymore!"

This time, Ye Shan didn't stop Wei Erniu because that was what he also thought!

The thunder of hooves pounded on the ground, like spring thunder.

When the main army of the northern campaign arrived, the vanguard had already begun clearing the battlefield.

Treat the seriously wounded immediately. Those with minor injuries, gather abandoned weapons like swords and bows from the fallen, and round up the frightened warhorses!

Suddenly seeing reinforcements, seeing brothers who had lived and died together for so many years, the vanguard troops were both excited and angry.

They were happy that they finally came, but angry that they came too late.

The reinforcements were also dumbfounded. The disastrous defeat they had imagined didn't exist at all. Instead, the barbarians were completely slaughtered, defeated utterly!

"This... you guys borrowed heavenly soldiers and generals" the reinforcements exclaimed in surprise and delight, cracking a joke.

Though reluctant, the vanguard was unanimously approved.

"Even with the help of heavenly soldiers and thunderbolts from above, we killed half of the barbarians! Hahaha, it's simply magical!"

"Exactly, exactly! I saw a thunderstrike land and kill three orcs!"

"The most satisfying thing is those half-dead barbarians, just hack off their heads with a single blow. I'm doing them a favor, you know!"

A buzz of excited and animated conversation filled the air.

Later, another general asked, "What about Lord Hou We broke out of the pass, that Jiang Cheng scoundrel kept us there for days! This has to be reported to Lord Hou!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked around.

As a result, the battlefield was filled with smoke and chaos. There was no sign of the Marquis, nor could even Old Li be found.

At this time, Wei Erniu's eyes were red as he said, "Just now I saw the Marquis and the Four Generals by the bushes. How come there's no shadow of them anymore Won't they be harmed"

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing and panicked.

Because the bushes had long been burned down, there was nothing left but bare land...

"My Lord, My Lord!"

"Four Generals, this General!"

Everyone panicked and immediately scattered to search.

Unfortunately, despite searching every corner of the desolate mountains and even sifting through the bodies of savages twice, there was still no sign of the Lord or Old Four!

"Woooo, did the Marquis die in battle Did they even burn his body"

"Impossible! Master, Master!"

Although the soldiers claimed to be tough, their eyes were all red with tears, and some even cried aloud.

Wei Erniu also cried, but his reason was different from the others...

At the foot of a grove of trees, some ten miles outside the city, Lord Hou and Li Laosi were resting with Mu Xu and Jia Yin.

Li Laosi, as usual, held half a jade melon to quench his thirst. He occasionally glanced at Mu Xu, seeing him scoop out the heart of the jade melon and smile as he offered it to his own daughter. He then lowered his eyelids slightly.

This time, her best friend risked exposing their biggest secret and revealing her magical abilities for them.

He and the Marquis naturally wouldn't tell anyone, after all, the more people who knew, the more dangerous it was for the young lady.

But Mu Xu, this boy, is an outsider. Who knows if he might be greedy and try to steal or scheme

For now, this kid doesn't seem to mean it.

But we still cannot relax our vigilance, and it will take long-term testing and observation before we can rest assured…
