I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2060: Hundred Flowers Valley
The generals around looked at each other, knowing that this situation was almost impossible. Nanjiang City had already gathered 800,000 troops, while the enemy surrounding them had a total of 3 million people. The disparity in strength between the enemy and us was huge, and even if they tried their best, it would be difficult to turn the tide of the battle.

"General, the reinforcements from other cities..." a deputy general spoke hesitantly, but was interrupted by Chu Liuying before he could finish his words.

"Other cities?" Chu Liuying sneered, a trace of fatigue in his eyes, "Let alone how much time it will take, it is very difficult to gather enough troops to break the encirclement. The enemy has already blocked all the main roads leading to southern Xinjiang. Even if the reinforcements come, they may not be able to successfully break through the defense line."

When General Nie Yun heard this, he looked into the distance again, as if looking for a glimmer of hope. He knew that Nanjiang City was in a desperate situation, but they could not give up. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, they had to fight to the death.

At the same time, in Ping'an County, eight or nine hundred miles away from Nanjiang City, Liu Junzheng led the Jihuo Army and the Liehuo Army and rushed into the small city. Their horses were already exhausted, and the soldiers' armor was covered with dust, but everyone's eyes were shining with determination.

"Pass the order down, everyone rest, gather your strength, and prepare to kill the enemy!" Liu Jun rode into the city with a loud and powerful voice. The little white guard beside him immediately took the order and quickly conveyed it to the entire army.

Liu Jun dismounted from his horse and looked towards the direction of Nanjiang City, with a hint of anxiety and determination in his eyes.

"General, we have been marching for several days in a row, and the soldiers are extremely exhausted. Should we..." A deputy general stepped forward and suggested in a low voice.

Liu Jun shook his head: "We can't delay any longer. Nanjiang City is in danger. We must get there as soon as possible. Pass the order down, rest for two hours, and then continue to move forward!"

The deputy general nodded and quickly withdrew to carry out the order. Liu Junze walked to the city wall, looked at the gradually darkening sky in the distance, and silently calculated the time in his heart. They only needed less than a day to reach Nanjiang City. As long as they could arrive in time, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

As night fell, Ping'an County was completely silent, with only the occasional neighing of horses breaking the tranquility. The soldiers took the time to rest and recuperate in preparation for the upcoming fierce battle.

Liu Jun stood on the city wall with a deep gaze. He knew that the next battle would be extremely cruel, but they had no choice.

"I just learned something from the mayor of Ping'an County." Yao Guangxiao walked to Liu Jun and said in a low voice.

Liu Jun turned around, his eyes sharp and anxious: "What's the matter?"

Yao Guangxiao took a deep breath and slowly told the news he had just received: "The reason why the Skyfire Divine Realm army was defeated was because the chief steward was besieged by 29 mid-stage Half-Step Divine King Realm warriors who suddenly appeared, and was seriously injured and unconscious. In addition, an army of up to two million people supported the other side, so they retreated to Nanjiang City."

Liu Jun's face turned pale instantly, and his voice trembled slightly: "My master's wife is seriously injured? How serious is the injury?"

Yao Guangxiao shook his head and said in a heavy tone: "I don't know, but it's useless even if we know. We must first open a gap in the enemy's encirclement."

Liu Jun's eyes gradually became fierce. He clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "It's no problem to open the gap. I have more than a hundred sky rockets. Shopkeeper Qian Liu has arranged for more than a hundred to be delivered. It should be here soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp eagle cry suddenly came from the sky. Everyone looked up and saw a huge eagle flying across the sky and swooping down in their direction. The archers on the city wall immediately pulled their bowstrings to full strength, pointing their arrows directly at the eagle, ready to shoot at any time.

"Don't do anything!" Liu Jun immediately ordered, stopping the archers who were ready to attack. He stared at the hawk, as if waiting for something.

The hawk circled over the city wall and then slowly landed in front of Liu Jun. There was a bag tied to its claws. Liu Jun quickly took off the bag and took out the storage ring inside.

Liu Jun lightly scanned the ring with his spiritual sense, and was immediately delighted. The first batch of strategic materials delivered by Shopkeeper Qian Liu had arrived as promised and were neatly stacked in the space of the ring.

This batch of supplies was not only huge in quantity, but also very complete in variety. One hundred and eighty sky rockets were neatly arranged, with the cannon bodies emitting a cold metallic luster, as if ready to spit out anger at any time. Spiritual stones were piled up like mountains, emitting a rich spiritual energy, and each piece was crystal clear, obviously of top quality. In addition, there were various healing medicines, bottles and jars neatly placed aside, with a fragrant smell, obviously carefully prepared. Food and grass were piled up like mountains, enough for the entire army to use for several months.

Liu Jun secretly sighed in his heart, Qian Liu's help was indeed great this time. You know, the first rule of Jin Liufu's money cabinet is not to participate in the disputes of the major divine domains, but Qian Liu's shopkeeper not only made an exception this time to transport supplies, but also used the goshawk spirit beast specially used to transmit important information. This kind of goshawk flies very fast and is extremely secretive. It is usually only used to transmit urgent information, but this time it was used to transport supplies, which shows Qian Liu's sincerity.

"This kind of goshawk is an extremely rare spiritual beast. Manager Qian Liu is very kind." Yao Guangxiao stood beside Liu Jun, looking at the goshawk flying away, with some approval in his tone.

Liu Jun nodded. Although he had exchanged the supplies for the Fire Stone in advance, he had to remember the friendship of Qian Liu. Although the Fire Stone was precious, Qian Liu risked his life to transport the supplies. This friendship was far more than the Fire Stone.

"Order, all troops, move out." Liu Jun glanced at the time and gave the order. He knew that the arrival of this batch of supplies meant that they could officially start the operation. All the soldiers were already ready to go, just waiting for the order.

As Liu Jun's order was passed down, the camp suddenly became busy. Soldiers quickly assembled, horses neighed, and the sound of weapons clashing rose and fell. Sky rockets were quickly distributed, and spirit stones and healing medicine were also distributed to each team. Liu Jun stood on a high place, his eyes swept across the entire army, and his heart was full of confidence. With this batch of supplies, their chances of winning were greatly increased.

"March," Liu Jun ordered.

Following his command, all the soldiers responded in unison, drums beat, flags fluttered, and the army marched towards its goal like a torrent.

Yao Guangxiao followed closely behind, and looking at Liu Jun's back, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart. It has been a long time since he had such an exciting life, and he likes this kind of life very much.

The journey of eight or nine hundred miles from Ping'an County to Nanjiang City is not difficult for the Jihuo Army and the Liehuo Army.

Their destination was not to attack Nanjiang City directly, but to set up sky rockets in Baihua Valley not far from Nanjiang City.

The Extreme Fire Army and the Fiery Fire Army led by Liu Jun marched through the Hundred Flowers Valley. The cliffs on both sides of the valley were high and surrounded by clouds and mist, as if they were in a fairyland. However, at this moment, he had no intention of appreciating this magnificent scenery. His eyes were fixed on the front, thinking about how to set up the sky rocket as soon as possible to relieve the siege of Nanjiang City.

"Report, a group of several hundred enemy scouts were spotted ahead." A soldier of the Jihuo Army came hurriedly to Liu Jun.

Liu Jun frowned slightly, wondering: "How could they appear here? Have our actions been discovered?" Then he turned to look at Yao Guangxiao beside him. This wise military strategist also frowned at this moment, obviously thinking about the same question.

"Let's go and take a look." Liu Jun said in a deep voice, "The Fiery Army will send a thousand-man brigade to follow me."

Following Liu Jun's order, an elite force of a thousand people quickly assembled and followed him forward. The atmosphere in the valley suddenly became tense, and the footsteps of the soldiers echoed in the silent valley, as if every step was stepped on the heart.

When they arrived at the location of the enemy scouts, Liu Jun was stunned by the scene in front of him. He saw that the enemy scouts had surrounded several small thatched houses in the valley. There were also patches of medicinal fields around the thatched houses, and various rare herbs were planted in the medicinal fields. Obviously, the owner of the thatched house was a doctor with superb medical skills.

Liu Jun was a little confused. Why did so many scouts come to capture a doctor? Was there someone seriously injured in the enemy army?
"Boss Yao, what do you think?" Liu Jun asked in a low voice.

Yao Guangxiao pondered for a moment and said slowly: "These enemy scouts are obviously well prepared. They surrounded this doctor probably for his medical skills. There are two possibilities. The first is that an important person in the enemy army was injured and urgently needs medical treatment; the second is that this doctor is very important to our Nanjiang City defenders. I prefer the second possibility."

When Liu Jun heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he asked in a low voice: "In other words, this doctor may be able to save my master's wife?"

Yao Guangxiao nodded, but his tone was still cautious: "It's possible, but I'm not sure. If we can capture a few people alive and ask them, maybe we can get more clues."

Liu Jun no longer hesitated, and waved his hand, signaling the captain of the Thousand-Man Squad of the Fiery Army behind him to come forward. The captain quickly ran over and stood respectfully in front of Liu Jun, waiting for orders.

"Capture them, no one can escape, and try to leave some alive. Can you do it?" Liu Jun's tone was cold and his eyes were as sharp as knives.

The centurion patted his chest and said confidently: "Your Majesty, please watch it!"

Liu Jun nodded, feeling relieved. Although the Fiery Army was a newly formed army, from the centurions on up, they were all elite soldiers of the Extreme Fire Army, veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles, so it should be no problem for them to deal with these enemy scouts.

Thousands of Fiery Army soldiers moved quickly and silently surrounded the enemy's hundreds of scouts. In the night, the moonlight shone on the soldiers' armor, flashing a cold luster. The enemy scouts obviously did not expect to be attacked on such a large scale, and immediately fell into chaos.

The battle was about to start. The soldiers of the Fiery Army rushed into the enemy camp like a tiger descending from a mountain. In the midst of the swords and sabers, the enemy scouts retreated step by step, but some still tried to break through. The captain personally led the team and commanded the soldiers to block all possible retreat routes to ensure that no enemy could escape.

Liu Jun stood on a high place, staring at the battlefield with a grim gaze.

The battle lasted less than an incense stick of time, and the enemy scouts were completely defeated. The soldiers of the Fiery Army came over with more than a dozen prisoners. The captain walked up to Liu Jun and reported respectfully: "Your Majesty, the mission is accomplished. A total of 16 enemy scouts were captured, and the rest were all annihilated."

Liu Jun nodded, his eyes fell on the captives, and he said coldly: "Take them away and interrogate them strictly. Make sure to find out their purpose."

The captain took the order and left. Liu Jun hesitated for a few seconds, then brought Yao Guangxiao and others to the thatched hut and knocked on the door.
