My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 1088: Wisdom and courage flourish, but blood and courage gradually fade!
Seeing from afar that Lu Gao's troops had made way for Ma Fuxun's troops to go to Shanggu Pass, Mao Sui sighed inwardly, "No wonder the king tried so hard to check and balance Wu'an Jun."

"Wu'an Jun did not show up in person. The generals were willing to trust each other and join forces to rebel just because they were all Wu'an Jun's former subordinates."

"The power of Wu'an Jun is too terrifying!"

Mao Sui expected that Ma Fuxun might surrender to the enemy, but Mao Sui did not expect that Ma Fuxun would surrender so quickly and so casually!

Fortunately, Ma Fuxun finally delayed for two quarters of an hour, which helped Mao Sui's troops to widen the distance between themselves and Lu Gao's troops, and also gave Mao Sui's troops some breathing space.

Mao Sui immediately shouted: "The front and rear troops should speed up and quickly join forces with Arsalan's troops. Please ask Arsalan to send a vanguard to lead us to retreat!"

"Gather the troops in the center and follow me to cover the rear!"

The generals of various units immediately led more than 15,000 troops to accelerate their march southward. Mao Sui ordered his family soldiers to disperse into various parts of the central army and personally led 10,000 central troops to block the Xing Road.

Seeing this, Lu Gao shouted loudly: "Prime Minister Mao is a talented person, but he is not good at commanding troops."

"This place is extremely narrow, and Mao Xiang's troops will lose all their superiority in terms of force. They will definitely be defeated."

"Prime Minister Mao has great talents that have yet to be fully utilized. Why would he seek his own death?"

While shouting, Lu Gao ordered his soldiers to charge forward, taking advantage of the unstable morale of Mao Sui's soldiers to launch the charge.

Mao Sui shouted coldly: "It is not me who is seeking death, but you who are digging your own graves!"

"There are hundreds of thousands of comrades in our rear, so it will be easy to break through Shanggu Pass."

"If you wish to live, you must immediately put down your weapons, kneel down and surrender!"

"Soldiers, kill the enemy!"

Under the pressure of Mao Sui's soldiers, although Mao Sui's soldiers were demoralized, they still formed a battle formation with weapons in hand, blocking the charge of Lu Gao's troops like a rock.

Upon seeing this, Li Hong immediately ordered: "Order the entire army, sing loudly..."

Before Li Hong could finish, Li Mu interrupted him coldly, "Wait!"

Li Hong quickly shut up.

"Crossbowmen line up and take turns shooting the enemy!"

"Charge! Charge!"

"Uncle Ji, that's it...ah!"

A soldier under Mao Sui's command thrust out his spear, but found that the enemy opposite him was actually his uncle, so he quickly adjusted the spear and stabbed in the air.

It was not worth it for him to kill his own uncle for a king who was so unkind and unjust in betraying China!
But before he could say hello, his uncle, his eyes already bloodshot, stabbed out the spear in his hand, hitting the soldier's side, and then his murderous eyes fixed on the soldier again.

Watching his comrade-in-arms, who was as close to him as a brother, fall to the ground in despair, with his own life in danger, the soldier's eyes turned red.

"I respect you as my uncle and I won't kill you, but you kill my comrade and you want to kill me? Prepare to die!"

"If the enemy doesn't die, we will die. To survive, kill!"

The two armies, who were of the same origin, were originally cautious. Mao Sui's troops were unwilling to move forward because they did not know who they were fighting for. However, as more and more soldiers died in battle and their blood turned into ice, their family affection and hometown feelings could no longer cool their anger.

They are all soldiers led by Li Mu, who is worse than who?
The intensity of the war gradually escalated, the advance of Lu Gao's troops was blocked, and the casualties of soldiers on both sides increased sharply!
Upon seeing this, Li Hong immediately ordered: "Order the entire army, sing loudly..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Hong subconsciously looked at Li Mu, and saw Li Mu said again: "Wait!"

Li Hong said anxiously, "Do we have to wait any longer?"

"Captain Lu Gao's troops have fallen into decline!"

This time, Lu Gao's troops rushed out of the city and fought with great momentum.

Once their momentum is crushed, what will await Lu Gao’s troops is bound to be a massacre!

Li Mu said calmly: "The bravery of Mao Xiang's troops is the bravery of blood, not the bravery of wisdom."

“Wisdom and courage come from the heart, which is hard to break and prosper forever.”

"Blood courage comes from blood. It only takes one blow to cool the blood."

"You don't have to do anything, just watch quietly."

"Commander Lu Gao knows how to resolve this situation."

Li Hong nodded thoughtfully, and at the same time moved forward and twisted his way behind Li Mu, then looked down at the battlefield over Li Mu's shoulder.

Lu Gao rode his horse to the front and roared, "Press forward!"

"I will be the boundary. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed!"

"Crossbowmen, listen up! Don't be stingy with your arrows. Shoot without stopping!"

"Kill all these traitors who betrayed China!"

"Don't be afraid of death. We are all fighting for the Chinese people and for our fellow countrymen."

"Death is an honor!!!"

Faced with the sudden increase in the intensity of the war, Mao Sui had no choice but to shout out, "Shield soldiers, move forward, and be sure to resist the enemy's charge!"

"Anyone who kills the enemy in this battle will have his military merit tripled, and will be rewarded with 1,000 yuan and one hectare of land!"

Under the orders of the generals of both sides, the fighting between the two armies became more and more fierce. They had completely disregarded their old friendships and only wanted to kill each other!
The soldiers in the middle and rear of Lu Gao's troops tightly grasped their spears, looked towards the front line with cold eyes, and were mentally prepared to die at any time.

The middle and rear ranks of Mao Sui's troops began to stir, with complaints of dissatisfaction from time to time. "The Hu bandits killed my father-in-law and my uncle. I hate the Hu bandits more than I hate Qin. Do we really want to betray China with the king and kill our fellow countrymen with the Hu bandits?"

"What's the point of giving money and land? Who knows which country my family will belong to next year?"

"Anyone who dares to shake the morale of the army will be killed!"

"I just told the truth, how can it shake the morale of the army? The people on the other side are all our comrades, why should we fight to the death with them just for these barbarians!"

Lu Gao's troops could withstand high-intensity warfare and higher casualties because they knew they were fighting for their fellow countrymen. Every drop of blood they shed was to reduce the tears of their fellow countrymen. They also knew that Li Mu was standing behind them, and as long as the enemy was not Ying Chengjiao, they would surely win.

On the other hand, Mao Sui's troops were reluctant to fight for Bater from the bottom of their hearts, and had even begun to doubt whether they should fight for King Dai. Every drop of blood they shed now would only make it easier for the Hu bandits to plunder their fellow villagers. They didn't even know whether they could win this battle, or whether they could return home alive.

Wisdom and courage grow stronger, but blood and courage gradually cool!
The soldiers in the front row were already in a life-and-death situation. They had no energy to think any more and could only fight bravely.

However, the soldiers of the Central and Rear Divisions were already in an uproar. Even though Mao Sui's family soldiers kept killing the noisy and rebellious soldiers, they were still unable to suppress the riots in the Central and Rear Divisions.

Seeing this, Li Mu turned his gaze to Li Hong.

Stare~stare~~
Li Hong hurriedly accompanied him and asked carefully: "Did Grandpa give any instructions?"

Li Mu asked: "You are the commander of this army, don't you know what to do now?"

Shouting when you shouldn't.

It's your turn to shout now, are you mute?

Li Hong nodded quickly: "I know, I know!"

Li Hong took two steps forward and stood beside Li Mu. He said loudly: "Order the whole army, sing loudly..."

As soon as the words were spoken, a cloud of black smoke quietly rose above the dense forest in the southeast.

Li Mu suddenly turned his head and looked over there. Although his sight was blocked by the mountains and ridges, his brain had automatically overlaid a new layer above his sight, outlining the specific direction of Puyin Xing.

Looking carefully along the direction of Puyin Xing, Li Mu indeed saw two more spots of black smoke.

Li Mu solemnly ordered: "Wait!"

Li Hong: ???
Li Hong looked at Li Mu helplessly and blankly, his eyes full of doubt about life.

Grandfather, what you just said meant to let your son sing "Gathering Wild Wei"?

Why are you interrupting me again?

Could it be that I have misunderstood?
However, Li Mu ignored Li Hong and subconsciously took a few steps forward, holding the railing with his hands. He looked into the distance with a slight smile on his face: "Qin Chang'an Jun really made a move in Puyin Pass!"

Li Hong didn't care about his sadness, and asked in surprise: "Auntie, have you seen the reinforcements from Qin Chang'an?"

Li Mu raised his chin towards the place where the black smoke was rising: "Qin Chang'an Jun's troops are over there!"

Li Hong looked over and saw three black smoke columns rising into the sky, with eight more smoke columns rising up and gradually solidifying.

"Fire!" Li Hong's eyes lit up: "It's fire!"

"The arsonist must be from Qin Chang'an Jun's army!"

"Since Qin Chang'an Jun has come to help, our army is safe!"

Li Xian said in fear: "I thought I would have to hold out here for two months with my few soldiers, but I never thought that Qin Chang'an's troops would arrive today!"

"Qin Chang'an, you are truly a great general!"

"Fortunately, our army has made its intentions clear and has even declared war on the coalition forces to show its attitude."

"Otherwise, Qin Chang'an will easily take Shanggu Pass, and all our plans will be a joke!"

Li Xian, Zhao Jiang and other generals were all excited.

They finally saw the dawn of victory!

Li Hong seemed to feel that he had a backer, and he actually approached Li Mu and laughed, "Aunt, you were wrong this time!"

Li Mu said calmly: "It is only natural that Qin Chang'an Jun will meet at Puyinxing to make a move."

"Qin Chang'an Jun's layout at Puyin Xing should have been completed before you led your troops to Shanggu Pass."

"This does not affect the situation that you will lead a small number of troops to hold out at Shanggu Pass for two months."

Judging that Ying Chengjiao would make his move at Puyin Xing, isn't this something that anyone with a brain could come up with?
Can't you guys think of it?
Li Hong was stunned: "Qin Chang'an has already deployed troops at Puyinxing, but he still needs me to lead a small number of soldiers to hold on here for two months?!"

"Shouldn't our army quickly join forces with Qin Chang'an Jun's army?"

Li Hong's ultimate goal is to quickly join forces with Ying Chengjiao while protecting the safety of Dai, and to safely hand Li Mu over to Ying Chengjiao.

So Li Hong didn't understand why they had already seen the Qin army but still had to continue fighting hard.

Li Mu looked at Li Hong and asked, "My son, don't you want to gain military merit?"

"Don't you want to be Qin's general?"

Li Hong and Li Xian were not upset, but Zhao Jiang was overjoyed. He and all the generals bowed their hands and said, "That's what we wish for!"

Li Mu's eyes swept across the faces of his old subordinates, and then looked at the fear on Li Hong's face. He sighed softly and ordered in a deep voice: "Pass on my order!"
