137 The Battle of the Chamber

In the sky above Hezhou City, the lead clouds are rolling, and the atmosphere of late autumn is full of the city head and the surrounding forests. Outside the city of Hezhou, on the banks of the Qishui River, the endless "poor and poor" army of chieftains had already lined up their formations, and they only waited for a while for the main force of the Chinese reinforcements.

The defenders of Hezhou no matter how the chiefs scolded and teased, and they still couldn't get out of the city. After the prince led the three armies into Hezhou, he strictly followed the plan agreed with Emperor Pingwu before leaving, attacked with defense, braked quietly, and did not fight hard with the chieftain's army.

Yutian Changren, the commander of the three armies of the chieftain, had received a secret letter from Yutian Hongyu, informing him that all the Chinese troops that had attacked Xijing had been annihilated, and that the Beijing division had lifted the siege, so that he could let go of a decisive battle with the Huaxia army, and suggested that he arrange an ambush to take advantage of the fact that the Chinese monarchs and ministers had not yet learned that Zhang Xing's army had been annihilated, first feinted to attack Hezhou, and then lied that Xijing was surrounded, pretending to withdraw the army, luring the Chinese defenders of Hezhou to attack and ambush the main force of Huaxia halfway.

No one in Hezhou City knew that Zhang Xing's army was completely wiped out, except for one person, who was the Demon Slayer Walker, the Heartless Mage. In the night, he stood alone on the pavilion with an iron rod in his hand, and a giant owl appeared above the dim night sky at some point, and a sinister smile appeared on the face of the demon slayer, and the iron bones in his hands suddenly became glowing. The giant owl looked down in the air and threw down an object, then turned and flew high and disappeared into the night sky.

The demon slayer walker raised his hand to take this thing, only to see that its crystal clear shape was like a gem, like a huge eyeball, constantly flashing with a strange dazzling, this giant eye gem immediately appeared Zhang Xing and Li Yuebai fought rampant soldiers, beheaded mages and other scenes, and later 40,000 soldiers in China were ambushed by the chieftain army led by Tang Mingxiang and the whole army was wiped out.

When the demon slayer saw that Li Yuebai had actually killed the two corpse mages, and he was shocked and frightened, his expression became hideous and terrifying, and he was furious, and he slammed the gem to the ground, and the gem let out a strange howl, and was shattered, and scarlet blood splattered everywhere.

Li Yuebai not only did not die, but was rescued by Tang Mingxiang, the previous plans of the demon slayer walker were all in vain, if he returned to Huaxia alive, then his plans and deeds would be difficult to hide from Li Yuebai. He secretly said that this person would not get rid of bad things, and wanted to stop the poisonous plan, and vowed to put Li Yuebai to death.

During the night, the chieftain's army launched several more sieges, but they were all repulsed by the defenders of Hezhou, so they stopped attacking and hurriedly retreated. In the early morning of the next day, the crown prince hurriedly ordered all the generals to come to the state government to hold a military meeting with the state government in order to discuss the next strategy against the enemy and the situation of the two armies.

The prince looked a little tired and anxious, and sat in the center of the hall. In the right compartment sat the general of Wolf Wei and the demon slayer, Xue Zhongbing, the former military adviser of the Imperial Army, Guo Shida, the governor of the Northern Army, Xu Hong, the governor of the Chinese army, and Han Qide, the governor of the Eastern Army. On the left side are Peng Yuchun, the governor of the Western Army, Zhang Song, the governor of the Southern Army, and Yu Hezhen, the prefect of Hezhou.

"Ladies and gentlemen! This king was entrusted by His Majesty to lead a large army to aid Hezhou, and it has been more than ten days since he entered the city. You only said that you can't go out of the city to fight hard with the chieftain's 'poor and poor' army, but our hundreds of thousands of troops can't keep cowering in the city! The king had high hopes for the 10,000 wolf army under the command of the Demon Slayer Walker, but the Master said that the wolf soldiers could only be used as surprise soldiers, and if they dared to fight against the 'poor' army, the outcome would be unpredictable, and once defeated, they would lose everything. Hey, you can't fight! I had to stick to the lonely city, but the thief chieftain came to attack and disturb every day, and it was annoying, so you can talk about it! What kind of?! Please speak freely and come up with a good plan to break the enemy as soon as possible! The prince got straight to the point.

"Back to Your Highness! At this time, you must not go out of the city to fight with the army of chiefs! There are 80,000 'poor and poor' cavalry under the command of the second prince of the chief, Yutian Changren, and there are as many as 130,000 'poor and poor' cavalry under the command of Hanquan Mano and Yanagi Xia Nan, and everyone knows that the 'poor and poor' beasts are invulnerable, and our army can match the wolf formation of the Master of the Mage, and the rest of the infantry, crossbowmen, and cavalry are not its opponents, and they can be said to be defeated at the touch of a button! Peng Yuchun, the governor of the Western Army, said with emotion.

"Your Highness, according to the old man's opinion, you must not be impatient at the moment, you must calm down and brake quietly. Although the old wolf army is invulnerable during the war, there are only 10,000 people, and the enemy chieftain is several times poorer than me, and the outcome is unpredictable, so we should wait for the opportunity and then find an opportunity to fight with it! The Demon Slayer walker replied.

"When's the time?" The prince asked with a questioning expression.

"Your Highness, have you forgotten? If nothing else, the 40,000-strong army of Zhaoyong General Zhang Xing is afraid that he has already attacked Xijing, the thief chief's nest, at this moment! The demon slayer knew that Zhang Xing's army had already been wiped out, but at this moment he pretended not to know and concealed the truth from everyone, it turned out that he had already thought of a poisonous plan.

"I haven't got any news from Zhang Xing yet, the chieftain is not on the offensive at the moment, I'm just afraid that if something happens to Zhang Xing, the situation will be even more unfavorable for our army!" The prince said worriedly.

"Your Highness is worry-free, Xijing is thousands of miles away from Hezhou, even if Zhang Xing's army surrounds Xijing, it will take six or seven days for the thief chieftain commander Yutian Changren to learn the news, and the old man dares to speculate that it won't be long before the thief chief will come to the rescue, and then our army will act according to the agreed plan!" The demon slayer walker said confidently.

"Weichen has a plan, please ask His Highness to decide!" One of the people in the seat stood up and said.

Everyone looked at the person who spoke, it was Xue Zhongbing, who was the military advisor joining the army.

"Oh? Xue Aiqing, you have always been resourceful, and you are very comforting to the heart of this king, what is the magic method today, you might as well talk to the generals, and everyone will decide together! The prince saw that Xue Zhongbing had a method, and his hanging heart temporarily landed. In the past, the Que Tai fighting method was clever, and he contributed a lot to himself, and he relied on it very much.

"Weichen thinks that now he should send someone to the chieftain's camp to negotiate peace." Xue Zhongbing said.

"Peace? Xue Junshi is laughing, right?! Your Majesty has high hopes for His Royal Highness, and the 300,000 troops are all under the command of His Highness. What do you think is the difference between this and surrender?! Master Xue, weren't you frightened by this thief chief, were you!? One of the people in the seat stood up suddenly, this person had a beard, a red face, and a voice like a bell, it was Xu Hong, the governor of the Chinese army. He has always had an upright temperament, and when he heard Xue Zhongbing say that he wanted to negotiate peace, he immediately became angry and reprimanded him sharply.

"Whoa! General Xu, did you let the subordinate say it well? If this chief is really easy to fight, who doesn't want to be a hero! Why should Your Highness worry about this? Open the city gate directly, and the soldiers of the three armies can go out of the city and fight the thief chieftain! Xue Zhongbing looked at the prince, then glanced at Xu Hong, and retorted with disdain on his face.
