Chapter 337 What a Chu Li!
Long Mohan wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and thought: Fortunately, Chu Li was stupid enough not to kill them all, and only caused them to lose 10,000 people.
Keeping the green hills, you don’t have to worry about having no firewood.
As long as the remaining soldiers are here, they can regroup and make a comeback.
Suddenly, he heard a noise outside the tent. Deputy General Liu Kai was whipping several soldiers.
"Kill you!"
The sound of whips hitting several soldiers, Long Mohan walked out of the tent and asked sharply, "What's wrong?"
"Your Highness, please, I have an old mother to support at home, please let me go home!"
The whipped soldier trembled all over, "Your Highness, you don't know how cruel Jiang Ge is. He pierced our commander's heart with a gun. The blood flowed like rain. It was horrible and scary."
One of them knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Long Mohan.
"Your Highness, even the commander-in-chief was no match for them, let alone us ordinary soldiers. They could have killed us, but they let us go. Jiang Ge said that it was the Crown Prince of Great Chu who told them to let us go. He was not willing to fight, and it was the Golden Scale Nation that forced them to do so."
"Your Highness, Xie Jingchuan also said that they showed mercy today and only killed the commander of the Golden Scale Kingdom because the Crown Prince of Great Chu hoped for peace in the world. We are definitely not their opponents!"
Long Mohan's eyes were sinister, what a Chu Li!
In this battle, he hypocritically released people, and his real purpose was to demoralize their troops!
Although he still had 70,000 soldiers, these 70,000 men had been frightened after this battle.
Liu Kai snorted coldly, "Your Highness, thousands of people have deserted today and fled to nearby cities. There are too many people, so we have only tracked down these few people!"
Long Mohan looked at the soldiers who were watching.
He drew out his sword and slashed the necks of several people with it. Blood splattered and several soldiers fell to the ground and died instantly.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet. Long Mohan looked at the surrounding soldiers with cold eyes and shouted.
"Those who run away from battle will die!"
Warm blood dripped from his cold sword, like the anger of a giant beast in the jungle, making the smaller animals tremble with fear.
The soldiers were scared, they didn't want to die at the hands of their commander.
All the soldiers went back to drill.
Military advisor Xu Lian watched this scene from a distance and shook his head.
Although the second prince managed to intimidate the soldiers, he lost the support of the people.
After all, the Crown Prince of Great Chu released the Golden Scale Army, but they died at the hands of their own commander.
The second prince is too competitive and wants too much to be recognized by His Majesty.
If this continues, even if the Golden Scale Army arrives, it may not be able to turn the tide of the war.
"Liu Kai, when will the army arrive?" Long Mohan asked the deputy general in a low voice.
Liu Kai replied, "It is expected that within three days, 100,000 main forces will arrive, and within seven days, the entire army will arrive."
The corners of Long Mohan's lips curled up. He just had to wait until the two most powerful generals of Jinlin Kingdom, Qin Wei and Qian Meng, led the army to reinforce. Then, he would see how Chu Li would respond.
......
The Great Chu military camp.
Chu Li, Mu Feng, Chu Sheng, Mu Jiangge and Xie Jingchuan were having their meal in the tent.
Mu Jiangge picked up the bowl and sighed, "Today we have bacon to eat, how delicious!"
Lao Liu warned, "This is the enemy's bacon. Is it poisonous?"
Chu Li put a piece of meat into his bowl and said, "Mm, it's poisonous, eat it quickly."
Lao Liu picked up the bowl of rice with a smile. If Brother Li let him eat it, then it must not be poisonous.
Chu Li said as he ate, "The most important thing in war is military rations. Who would be willing to put poison in them?"
"Yeah. Even if our food is stolen, we'll still be thinking about how to get it back." Mu Jiangge ate with relish.
She habitually gave half of her second bowl of rice to Xie Jingchuan.
Xie Jingchuan pushed his plate of vegetables to Jiang Ge.
Lao Liu narrowed his eyes and looked at the two of them. Oh, there is something fishy going on between these two. Their movements are as skillful as those of an old couple.
But judging from the way Xie Jingchuan looked at Mu Jiangge, he probably didn't know that Mu Jiangge was a woman.
interesting.
Mu Feng picked up a piece of bacon and put it in Mu Jiangge's bowl, "Eat more."
"General Mu, you are too polite." Mu Jiangge smiled brightly.
Xie Jingchuan looked at the bacon in Mu Jiangge's bowl and felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
He always felt that General Mu Feng seemed particularly close to Jiang Ge.
The two had only met for a few days, but they got along very well, even better than his brother who fought side by side with him.
There were a few more pieces of bacon in Chu Li's bowl, and she raised her eyes to meet Mu Feng's.
"Uncle, you eat too."
Mu Feng smiled slightly. If he hadn't picked up food for Mu Jiangge first, which would have made it even more obvious, he wouldn't have been able to pick up food for Chu Li so naturally.
After they finished their meal, Chu Li went out to look at the joyous soldiers.
After winning the battle today, everyone's food has improved.
Seeing Chu Li smiling brightly, showing his big teeth.
Chu Li looked at them and said, "Eat well and have a good sleep."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The soldiers felt stronger after eating the meat. Looking at Chu Li's back, some old soldiers sighed.
"Your Highness is truly amazing. This battle was fought without any effort. It's really refreshing!"
"That's right. The enemy lost two main generals at once. It's hard to boost morale!"
"Hahaha." They heard General Pang's laughter and looked over one by one.
Pang Bin took a large bowl of millet rice and ate it on the ground, talking as he ate.
"Today, General Ben thought His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was looking at me, but he was actually looking at the wind direction!"
"I heard from the Sixth Prince that the Crown Prince is proficient in mystical arts, medicine and poisons, and he also defeated General Pingxi. He became the last disciple of the Four Elders of Tianwu Mountain, the only one in the world!"
The soldiers who were eating around pricked up their ears and listened attentively.
Pang Bin wiped his mouth with his big hand. "I have been in the army for many years, but I have never seen such an almighty person. Just look at that gunpowder bomb. Can an ordinary person make it?"
Veteran soldier Lao Chen looked at Pang Bin cheerfully, "General Pang, didn't you say before that the prince had never fought in a war and had no experience?"
Pang Bin glanced at him and said, "I was blind before. Alas, Lao Chen, you are so mean. Didn't you say that yourself?"
Old Chen blushed and slapped himself, "I'm getting old and confused."
He looked at Pang Bin, who had joined the army with him, and said, "Come on, Lao Pang, slap yourself too!"
A bright smile appeared on Lao Pang's dark face. "I played it secretly."
"Bah, you shameless bastard." Old Chen snorted coldly and everyone burst into laughter.
......
Chu Yue set up camp a hundred miles away from the border of Da Chu.
The messenger came to report.
"General, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince defeated the enemy with a small force, without losing a single man, and killed 10,000 of Jin Lin's elite soldiers."
He told Chu Yue in detail how Chu Li used his troops to deal with the Golden Scale Army.
Chu Yue clenched his fists. Chu Li was so lucky to get his first victory.
She looked at Qian Cheng, "Military Advisor, you heard it, Chu Li is too soft-hearted. If I were the general, I would take this opportunity to wipe out the remaining 70,000 troops of Long Mohan."
"I am such a fool to not let him have a moment to catch his breath and wait for reinforcements to arrive!"
