Chapter 323: Taking the Head Start
"Everyone is fighting on their own, and there is no leader. Who are you talking about when you say we?"

Mu Yi sneered and mocked.

"I really don't know how you all got to this position! You are a bunch of good-for-nothings, and you dare to sign a military order? You don't even know the word death?"

"Hahaha, well said, a bunch of good-for-nothings!"

The legion commander appointed by Wei Qing agreed with a laugh. In his eyes, Yang Tiancheng and his men were good-for-nothings who had lost so many of his brothers in vain.

"At least they still have the courage to attack the city. How dare you, a fearful person like you, talk about courage?"

Mu Yi didn't tolerate anyone, so when he saw the legion commander jump out, he immediately mocked him.

“There’s not a single decent one!”

"It's a good thing I brought 20,000 people to support you!"

The entire camp was filled with a rumbling noise, and everyone stared at Mu Yi with anger and displeasure. They could vaguely feel the burning anger, but when they heard that Mu Yi had brought 20,000 reinforcements, they couldn't help but suppress their inner anger.

They all knew very well what the 20,000 reinforcements represented at this moment.

"So... General Mu, what do you have to say?"

Even Yang Tiancheng's forehead was bulging with veins at this moment. He tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart and asked in a calm tone as much as possible.

After all, the officers and generals that Mu Yi mentioned also included him.

"I don't have much to advise you, I just simply think you are useless!" Mu Yi answered very quickly.

"you wanna die!"

At this moment, the general, who had been furious to the extreme, took action boldly and pulled out the blade from the sheath with his backhand. A cold light flashed, as if he wanted to kill the arrogant Mu Yi instantly.

"I thought you guys couldn't hold the knife anymore!"

And in the next moment, Mu Yi's hand was on the hilt of his sword, and the internal energy of both of them burst out suddenly, directly blowing everything in the tent away, and even the ground began to crack.

But in this struggle, Mu Yi's hand was like an unshakable mountain, pressing down bit by bit the opponent's blade that had been pulled out most of the way.

When the scabbard made a clear sound of closing.

The internal energy of the two men calmed down and Mu Yi began to laugh.

To command a large army, one must make the army work together and have a common belief. It is too slow to subdue these arrogant soldiers and generals, and he does not have that much time.

Instead of using gentle means, it is better to use the most explosive means to anger these officers and then direct the anger towards the enemy.

No matter what the emotions and motivations are, as long as we can ensure that everyone's efforts are directed in one direction, it is enough.

The easiest way to establish prestige in this process is to speak with strength.

And now, it is obvious that he has gone from being an inexplicable person to being the focus of attention, and thus has gained some say.

The way to have the right to speak is very simple, that is to let everyone's eyes be on you, so that at least what you say can be heard by everyone.

"It seems that you haven't completely lost the will to fight!"

"What on earth do you want!"

The officer who was blocked by Mu Yi's hard power looked a little ugly. He clearly felt the oppression that Mu Yi brought to him.

"Just leading you to victory!" Mu Yi continued to generate hatred as a matter of course.

"I listened to your plan just now. In fact, there is no need for such a complicated plan. Why do we need such a complicated plan for attacking a city?"

"Since you can't come up with a feasible plan, why not listen to mine!"

Mu Yi said as he used his magical power of talking on paper to project Hanye City in front of everyone.

"Since we cannot deploy our army due to the mountains behind us, we will attack from these three sides!" Mu Yi said, pointing at Hanye City.

"You two lead the troops to attack from the flank. No matter whether you launch a fierce attack or a feint attack, as long as you attract the enemy's attention." Mu Yi pointed at Yang Tiancheng and the officers who drew their swords.

"The two of you will lead the troops to attack from the other side of the city wall, just like them! We don't require you to take down the city wall, but you have to at least contain the enemy." Mu Yi pointed at the other two officers.

Finally, Mu Yi turned his gaze to the legion commander appointed by Wei Qing.

"I won't let my brothers die until I see that it is feasible!" said the legion commander appointed by Wei Qing expressionlessly.

"In that case, how about you lead your men to ambush on one side of the mountain to prevent the enemy from escaping from the mountain?"

Mu Yi did not force the other party. After all, the other party was Wei Qing's general, and it was normal for them not to be transferred.

And from what Lin Yi said, the other party was very cooperative at the beginning, but Lin Yi disappointed them.

The legion commander appointed by Wei Qing hesitated for a moment and nodded. This was indeed feasible for him and there was no risk. If he refused even such an order, he would be considered a coward.

"We can't take this fortress like this!" Someone objected after hearing Mu Yi's arrangement.

"Besides, what are you going to do with the empty front?"

"Leave the front to me! You just need to do your job and leave the rest to me! I will break through the front line of defense and then lead you to capture this fortress!"

It was obviously nonsense, but in Mu Yi's mouth it seemed like it was a matter of course.

To be honest, Mu Yi had no intention of asking them for help.

Yang Tiancheng and his men might be good officers, but they have completely lost their minds now. They are complete sucking teammates. It's better not to expect to cooperate with them.

It is better to keep it simple and let everyone fight on their own, so that the remaining energy can be maximized.

At least the orcs don't know that they are having an internal conflict. As long as we launch an all-out attack, the other side will have no choice but to treat it with caution.

"Why should we listen to you?"

"You have no choice. Either listen to me and take this city, or wait for military orders to execute!"

Mu Yi looked at everyone calmly. Under Mu Yi's gaze, everyone fell silent.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Mu Yi knew that the time had come and he immediately put more effort.

"Since you have signed a military order in front of General Wei, I will also sign a military order here. As long as you listen to me, I promise to bring you victory!"

Hearing what Mu Yi said, Yang Tiancheng gritted his teeth, nodded and spoke.

"Okay, we'll listen to you this time! We'll do as you say! If it doesn't work this time, you'll have to wait to be court-martialed with us!"

"Then I'll listen to you this time!"

After Yang Tiancheng agreed, the others also nodded in agreement.

Although they were confused, they actually understood Mu Yi's intention to some extent. After all, they were outstanding disciples among the military strategists. They all followed Mu Yi's arrangements reluctantly.

In the tent that was like a powder keg just now, a new flow of vitality was born.

"In that case, then everyone should go back and reorganize their troops and move camps. After one day, listen to my command and launch the attack at the same time!"

After everyone left, Yang Tiancheng looked at Mu Yi with a complicated expression.

By this time he had already realized that this was Mu Yi's strategy.

In fact, this was the condition that he and Lin Yi agreed to with Mu Yi, but Mu Yi came too quickly, so Mu Yi arrived before he even started his conversation plan.

"I'm sorry, but I have no choice but to use this method!"

Mu Yi expressed his apologies to Yang Tiancheng. After all, he had covered Yang Tiancheng with his map cannon.

This is also to make Yang Tiancheng stand together with others, so as to achieve an internal and external cooperation effect in the end.

There is no way around it. If you fail to seize the initiative during the first meeting, it will be troublesome to seize the initiative later.

As the saying goes, speed is of the essence in war, delay will lead to unexpected events. Not only Hanye City, but Qiu Shuang City may also face a counterattack from the Orc Kingdom, so we must be quick.

After all these operations, although Mu Yi's hatred was full, at least he had completed a plan.

Moreover, Mu Yi knew very well that these officers who could reach the level of legends were not useless, they were just temporarily confused. As long as he came up with a solution that everyone could accept, he could free everyone from the dilemma of mutual accusations.

The next day, as Mu Yi expected, several officers had basically calmed down and began to actively prepare for war.

There were people shouting and calling out, and large groups of people running back and forth carrying all kinds of things. The whole camp was filled with noisy sounds. Tense and hasty preparations had already begun, and everyone was preparing for a new war.

This time the soldiers launched a general attack with anger and determination.

"Now it seems like we are going to fight to the bitter end!"

Mu Yi looked at the queue that was gathering in the distance and nodded continuously.

Even from a long distance, Mu Yi could clearly feel the might of the soldiers under Yang Tiancheng and others. They were definitely elite, even not inferior to the elite of the Mu family army.

Among the crowd, there was one legion that stood out from the crowd. It was the legion assigned by Wei Qing. Its strict formation exuded an astonishing momentum and was obviously much stronger than the other legions.

"The real elite!"

Mu Yi could feel that all the soldiers in this legion had at least completed the triple smelting.

You know, only by truly refining one level of elite talent can you be considered to have completely mastered this talent. Triple smelting is equivalent to completely mastering three elite talents. The improvement of each elite talent on the soldiers is obvious.

"Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing!"

Mu Yiyao looked towards the direction of Hanye City. The reason why he asked the rest of the people to split up and move camp was not only to besiege the enemy, but also to lure the snake out of its hole.

The reason why he did not send out his soldiers to make arrangements in advance was that he was gambling that the enemy would see through the emptiness of the camp and choose to take the initiative to attack.

On the city wall of Hanye City, the orc swordsman named Baksa frowned, took a deep breath, and smelled the iron and blood scent coming from the wind.

"It's coming. I think these scum of humanity won't run away this time!"

With excitement flashing in his eyes, Baksa couldn't help but clench the hatchet-like weapon in his hand.

"Baksa, don't let your guard down! I see danger. The human who appeared outside the human camp earlier may be a powerful enemy!"

An old orc holding a staff walked out from behind the Orc Swordmaster.

"Prophet! No matter how powerful the enemy is, leave it to me! Besides, the battlefield cannot be turned around by one person!" Baksa was even more excited. Killing the strong was his greatest interest.

"Report, prophet, there seems to be some unusual movement in the human camp!" The orc riding on the eagle reported what he observed to the orc prophet.

"Let me see!"

The orc prophet stretched out his trembling hand, and his vision suddenly spanned a long distance, even penetrating the camp and seeing the situation inside the camp.

"This is..." The orc prophet was a little confused. Most of the camp was empty, with only some auxiliary soldiers left who seemed to be working diligently.

"Go, send out flying scouts to explore the area. Don't miss any corner!"

After a carpet-style search, the orc scouts discovered the legions moving towards the city gates on both sides.

"Hehe, you are too naive to use this strategy of confusing the enemy with others! " The orc prophet sneered.

From the very beginning, they never relaxed their surveillance on the human army.

Even if they can only monitor from a distance, it is enough for them to discover many clues.

"Order the reserve troops to move to the two sides of the city wall to strengthen the defense and guard against enemy attacks. Draw the general troops on one side of the mountain as a reserve force in the middle, ready to support the other city walls at any time!"

"Baksa, go gather your troops!"

The Orc Sword Master, who was suddenly called out, looked at the Orc Prophet in confusion.

"After night falls, you lead your men out of the city to launch a night attack and burn this camp down. I don't see any large-scale reinforcements arriving, and they have moved so many people to both sides. Their base camp must be empty. Go and burn them down!"

The orc prophet had a sneer on his face. Having fought twice before, they knew very well how many people Yang Tiancheng and his men had.

And now, since they have chosen to divide their troops, their strength will inevitably be weakened. This is a good opportunity for them.

After all, the army needs food. The humans who ran to the two sides cannot bring much food. While this place is empty, they might as well take the initiative to attack.

Burning down the camp cut off the human's logistics and left them without food, which must have been a big blow to the human side.

Maybe the morale of the human side is completely destroyed, and they still have a chance to capture all the humans who came to attack Hanye City.

"Will there be an ambush?" Although he is warlike, the Orc Swordmaster is not a fool.

There are at least five legends in the human army. If he is ambushed, he might be killed on the spot.

"I've checked. The human legends that appeared before are all on both sides. Only one human legend has not been found!"

When he said this, the orc prophet thought of Mu Yi who had just caused a commotion in the camp, hesitated for a moment, and then continued speaking.

"The enemies are at most two human legends. I will bring people to meet you outside the city. If there is any problem, you must retreat immediately!"

"Good!" Hearing the prophet's words, the Orc Swordmaster was immediately excited. He jumped directly from the city wall into the city and began to gather his troops.

"Hehe, humans, you will regret coming to Hanye City!" The orc prophet looked at the human camp, and for some reason he felt a little panicked. He began to pray silently to the gods he believed in.

"Great Mazkasa, please protect your believers!"
