Chapter 335 Reap the consequences
Chu Li glanced at the flag fluttering in the wind on the city wall.
Pang Bin, the square-faced deputy general guarding the city tower, knew that the prince had never fought in a war, so he was not optimistic about him.
Why is the prince looking at him? Is he worried about him?
There is no need for that. After all, he has been guarding the border here for twenty years.
He placed his strong hands on the city wall, and in his heart he did not trust Chu Li.
Chu Li retracted his gaze and said to Long Mohan: "I don't want to fight you alone."
Long Mohan's eyes were dark. What an arrogant prince.
He gestured behind him, and two hundred Deadpools came riding on horses with poison powder.
Long Mohan drew out his sword and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
As long as these people bring the poison powder and sprinkle it on the battlefield, the soldiers of Da Chu will inhale the poison powder and at least half of them will be injured.
Unexpectedly, Chu Li also drew out his sword and pointed it at the sky.
The next moment, three dull drum beats were heard from the city wall.
Pang Bin was about to curse when someone suddenly started beating the drum!
He glanced sideways and saw that the person beating the drum was the guard brought by the prince. He clenched his fists in indignation.
He is the deputy general defending the city.
The prince never discusses anything with the veteran generals guarding the border.
As soon as the drums stopped beating, the soldiers of the Great Chu State took out wet towels from behind, wrapped their mouths and noses with them, and began to retreat.
Long Mohan suddenly felt something was wrong.
He glanced in the direction Chu Li had just looked and saw that the flag on the city wall suddenly changed direction.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and there seemed to be a strong wind coming.
Long Mohan shouted, "Stop!"
It was too late, the Deadpools galloping on their horses had already raised poisonous powder.
The next moment, the poisonous powder was blown up by the wind and blew towards the soldiers of the Golden Scale Kingdom.
"Run!" Long Mohan shouted.
If the wind was like the one just now, the Deadpools would rush into the Da Chu camp and at most would only harm the Da Chu soldiers within the encirclement of the battlefield.
Now that a strong wind has risen, it will blow directly back the Golden Scale Army that is ready to go not far away.
Chu Li and the soldiers have already ridden back into the city.
She observed the Big Dipper last night and saw clouds like tangled cotton above it. She calculated that there would be a strong wind the next day.
She kept observing the weather, because she was worried that Long Mohan would use poison against them in a fit of rage.
If the wind direction happens to be right, just give it back to them and let them reap what they sow!
"Ah..." Soon, all the soldiers in the first row of the Golden Scale Kingdom holding shields fell down with screams.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers in the second row holding spears also died with blood gushing out of their seven orifices.
As the Golden Scale Army continued to fall, Long Mohan shouted, "Retreat!"
They retreated in panic, holding their breath, stepping on the corpses of their companions.
Long Mohan looked back with bloodshot eyes at Chu Li who was standing on the city wall.
Chu Li seemed to be telling him with his eyes: How does it feel to reap what you sow?
Long Mohan clenched his back teeth, and his hatred towards Chu Li reached its peak.
He looked at the thousands of soldiers who had died of poisoning and was filled with anger.
So many people died in his first fight with the Crown Prince of Great Chu.
The Great Chu Army suffered almost no losses except for a few injured soldiers.
He underestimated Chu Li.
On the city wall, Pang Bin's pupils dilated as he watched the Golden Scale Army soldiers falling one after another. It turned out that the Crown Prince was not looking back at him, but at the wind direction.
He felt sad in his heart, wondering if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew the enemy's battle plan in advance?
Otherwise this is really a bit magical.
When the poison powder dissipated in the air, Long Mohan suppressed his anger and shouted, "Soldiers, attack the city!"
"kill!"
Hundreds of Golden Scale Army soldiers who were good at attacking cities were deployed.
They successively pushed out ladders, catapults and battering rams towards the gates and walls of Da Chu.
The arrows of the Great Chu attacked like heavy rain, but the soldiers of the Golden Scale Army became more and more courageous as the battle went on.
Military advisor Xu Lian stroked his beard, feeling something was wrong.
"Your Highness, you see, they only defend and do not attack. They use a rotation battle to let the soldiers on the tower deal with our soldiers attacking the city. Their people do not feel tired. I think there is something fishy going on."
Long Mohan sneered, "The fifty thousand soldiers who broke through on both sides of our siege are probably already here. Don't you see that this prince is stalling for time?"
This is not his main battlefield. His generals can break through from both sides and will definitely be able to break into the city.
On the city wall, Deputy General Pang Bin was fighting off the Golden Scale soldiers when he caught a glimpse of Chu Li leisurely fanning himself with a fan.
He took back his weapon, asked his subordinates to take over, and came to Chu Li's side.
Although they won just now by taking advantage of the wind direction.
But it’s not okay for the prince to keep wasting time with the Golden Scale Army like this.
He was a man who spoke his mind and couldn't help asking.
"Your Highness, if we continue to drag it out like this, it will do us no good at all. If the enemy attacks from the side, how can we resist when our forces are so severely dispersed?"
Chu Li smiled calmly. She did not tell everyone about the battle plan.
The only people she could tell were those who held strong positions and had strong abilities and whom she could trust.
She said calmly: "General Pang's responsibility today is to fight them. It is your credit to defend the tower."
Pang Bin was so angry that his beard was almost crooked. Why was the prince so weird? Did he understand the art of war and knew how to use troops?
Their General Xie was extremely brave and their General Jiang was agile in combat.
The two main generals cooperated well.
Anyway, he didn't trust Chu Li at all, as he had never been on the battlefield.
He said in a rough voice: "Your Highness, if we fight like this, we won't be able to finish this battle in a year or two!"
Chu Li looked at him coldly, "Are you questioning me?"
Pang Bin was frightened by Chu Li's aura. He swallowed and said, "I am just anxious."
Although he didn't understand the prince's intention, he was the crown prince after all, so he shouted, "Brothers, hold the tower, and we'll have more food tonight!"
At Pang Bin's command, the soldiers became more motivated.
The corners of Chu Li's lips rose slightly. Although this man was reckless, he was still very good at leading troops.
It can be seen that his subordinates trust him very much.
She provoked Long Mohan just to delay time.
Next it’s up to Xie Jingchuan and Mu Jiangge.
......
The sun was blazing in the sky, and the sunlight shone on the hot sand, mixing with the flying dust.
The fighting on the side of the city was even more intense.
The soldiers behind Mu Jiangge were wearing heavy armor, holding sharp swords and spears, and charged into battle.
The neighing of war horses mixed with the sound of trumpets, and the soldiers brandished heavy swords and fought bloody battles.
Mu Jiangge led his soldiers in a fierce battle with Xian Qiong, the general of the Jinlin Kingdom, and the other side kept provoking Mu Jiangge.
"You are so short and look like a sissy. Why don't you follow me back and be my concubine? Hahaha..."
Mu Jiangge ignored him and quickly blocked his attack with his spear.
Unexpectedly, Xian Qiong used despicable means and actually injured Mu Jiangge's horse with a hidden weapon.
