Catching Monsters

Chapter 264 Black Armor Army! Attack
Listening to Xu Xiaogang's persuasion, Liu Muyun also fell silent. After thinking it over again and again, he slowly said: "Duke Zhenguo, what I just said is not empty talk."

"Your Majesty attaches great importance to meteorites..."

"Well, I will help you write a letter to persuade His Majesty."

Liu Muyun also didn't want to die in Mushan City, as wealth and glory in the capital were waiting for him.

Seeing that Liu Muyun agreed, Xu Xiaogang breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, in Mushan City, in the courtyard where Heng Tianxiao lived, Shen Jingyu was holding a thin wooden stick, looking straight ahead, but also curiously asked: "Uncle Heng, can you really help that general? Lead the troops to attack the Northern Hu army?"

Heng Tianxiao moved the stick in his hand and patted his waist: "This is not something you care about."

Shen Jingyu blinked his eyes. After all, he was a child, so he was still curious: "But I remember you told me in private that the 1,500 cavalrymen of Mushan City were no match for the cavalrymen of Beihu?"

"Even under your leadership, I'm afraid..."

Heng Tianxiao glanced at the distant sky and asked, "Who told you that I was going to use the cavalry of Mushan City to charge?"

"Then who are you?"

Heng Tianxiao said slowly: "Don't worry about this matter, kid."

……

At noon, in the capital, outside the imperial study, Jiang Yun and Linglong were waiting there.

"Did Xu Xiaogang's letter really ask you to take the meteorite to Mushan City?" Linglong asked in a low voice.

Jiang Yun nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, you must help with this matter."

Linglong was silent for a moment, then said, "I just have some doubts. If I give Heng Tianxiao the meteorite, can he really break through the Hu army camp?"

At this moment, the door of the imperial study slowly opened. Feng Yu waved to the two of them with a faint smile on his face: "Your Majesty has just finished reading the memorials. You two, follow me."

Entering the imperial study, one could smell the scent of sandalwood. Jiang Yun quickly knelt down and said respectfully, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Xiao Yuzheng was wearing a dragon robe and drinking a cup of tea slowly. "Stand up, you and Linglong are here to pay a visit this time. Are you still here for the Tianqi Army?"

Jiang Yun shook his head and then said, "I received a letter from Xu Xiaogang, the Duke of Zhenguo, asking me to come..."

Unexpectedly, before Jiang Yun finished speaking, Xiao Yuzheng took out a letter from a drawer beside him and put it on top: "Are you here to ask for the meteorite?"

Early this morning, Xiao Yuzheng received a letter from Mu Shancheng, which was sent by Liu Muyun.

It was written above that Xu Xiaogang said that a meteorite was needed right now. As long as they had this meteorite, there would be hope for the 200,000 troops in Mushan City to escape.

Xiao Yuzheng said slowly: "I am very curious. The meteorite should have been obtained for some time, Feng Yu."

Feng Yu, who was serving beside him, nodded repeatedly and said respectfully, "That's right, Your Majesty. Five years ago, the governor of Jiangnan Province presented the treasure. It has been five years."

"For five years, I have invited many great scholars to come and study, but none of them have been able to figure out what the miraculous effects of the meteorite are."

"Xu Xiaogang dared to claim that he could force the Northern Hu to retreat with just a meteorite?"

Jiang Yun didn't know about Liu Muyun's letter, but the reason was mentioned in Xu Xiaogang's letter.

It was Hengtian Xiao who claimed that he had a way, but it required a meteorite.

Of course, it is impossible to tell Xiao Yuzheng the specific reason, otherwise, would Xiao Yuzheng be willing to hand over this meteorite?
Jiang Yun could only say in a deep voice: "I don't know the specific reason, but Xu Xiaogang is at the front line, so he must know the situation there better than us."

At this time, Xiao Yuzheng frowned slightly but did not speak.

Linglong beside him also said: "Father, you are unwilling to move the Tianqi Army, and now you are unwilling to give a meteorite."

"Do you really want to watch the fifteen armies of Mushan City be besieged and die?"

If they were ordinary princes or princesses, they would never dare to speak to Xiao Yuzheng in such a tone.

The only one who was surprised was Linglong. After hearing this, Xiao Yuzheng was not angry. Instead, he said, "Linglong, you know too little about the meteorite. It is not an ordinary treasure."

Linglong glanced at him and couldn't help but complain: "You've been researching for five years, but you haven't come up with any results, have you?"

"Since we can't figure it out, it's just an ordinary stone."

"There's nothing wrong with letting Xu Xiaogang try."

These words choked Xiao Yuzheng so much that he was speechless.

He looked at Feng Yu, wanting to see what Feng Yu had to say.

Unexpectedly, Feng Yu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, since we haven't been able to come up with any results, as the princess said, why not let the Duke of Zhenguo take a look..."

Even this servant said so. Xiao Yuzheng's face darkened and he frowned.

Ordinary treasures were naturally of no value to him, but he was extremely interested in the legendary immortality that the Meteorite Stone could bring.

No emperor can resist the temptation of the word "immortality".

In this world, even if one's cultivation reaches the second level, or even the first level.

That means living many more years than ordinary people, but it is hard to achieve the legendary immortality.

I'm afraid the only way is to break through to the first level and reach the legendary holy realm.

Xiao Yuzheng closed his eyes and said reluctantly: "Feng Yu, you take the meteorite to Mushan City yourself."

"If there is no way to withdraw the troops, bring the meteorite back to me."

"Yes."

……

The situation in Mushan City has become increasingly dire. Food is becoming less and less, and the amount of food eaten each day is limited as much as possible. The soldiers of the Zhenchi Army would be lying if they said they were not worried.

Although Xu Xiaogang once ordered that no one in the army was allowed to discuss food, it was true that the amount of food the soldiers received every day was getting less and less.

In the main hall of the general's mansion, Xu Xiaogang sat at the top, and more than 20 generals sat inside.

These generals are basically senior generals in the Zhenchi Army.

"General, waiting like this is not a solution. The food will only be enough for three or four days."

"Otherwise, we will really open the city gates and fight the Hu people."

Most of the generals were between thirty and forty years old, with anxious looks on their faces.

They were also quite depressed during this period.

"This time I called you all here to hold a military meeting in order to prepare for the attack." Xu Xiaogang, who was sitting at the top, said, turning his head to look at Heng Tianxiao beside him.

Although Heng Tianxiao was not wearing armor at this time, he had changed into clean clothes.

Feng Yu was also sitting on one side with a gloomy look on his face. He cast a spell and arrived at Mushan City early this morning. However, he did not expect that the meteorite would be given to a man named Heng Tianxiao.

Heng Tianxiao, who looked vicissitudes of life, stood up, clasped his fists, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, tonight, launch a night attack. After nightfall, the enemy cavalry will be greatly reduced in effectiveness."

"When the time comes, I will be the vanguard and charge into the Beihu commander's camp."

"The commander's camp has been breached and without a commander, you can launch an attack now."

Upon hearing this, the generals present all frowned, as they did not know Heng Tianxiao.

"Mr. Heng, I can transfer all of my 1,500 cavalrymen to you." Xu Xiaogang said in a deep voice.

Heng Tianxiao shook his head slightly: "No need."

Soon, many generals present began to discuss tactics based on this plan and the direction of attack they should take.

Heng Tianxiao sat on the chair, but didn't pay attention. Suddenly, Feng Yu put his hand on Heng Tianxiao's shoulder: "Mr. Heng, have you ever led troops?"

Heng Tianxiao turned around and looked into Feng Yu's eyes.

Feng Yu asked in a low voice beside Heng Tianxiao's ear: "I wonder why Mr. Heng wants the meteorite fragments?"

"Or does Mr. Heng know the truth about the meteorite?"

Heng Tianxiao did not answer Feng Yu's question and his expression was calm.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Feng Yu did not get angry, but just smiled faintly and sat back in his chair.

Soon, under Xu Xiaogang's arrangement, more than 20 generals received orders.

After the arrangements were made, Xu Xiaogang took a deep breath, then had someone bring out a lot of strong liquor, poured it for everyone, and said, "Everyone, the success or failure of this matter depends on tonight."

"drink!"

All the generals drank the liquor in their hands.

Night gradually fell. On the surface, there was no movement in Mushan City, but troops had already been deployed inside the city.

On the dark city wall, Xu Xiaogang was wearing armor, with Feng Yu and Jiang Yubo following beside him.

"Uncle Jiang, Heng Tianxiao has already secretly left the city, right?" Xu Xiaogang asked.

Jiang Yubo nodded heavily, still with some worry in his eyes, and said: "General, this Heng Tianxiao claimed to be the vanguard and rushed into the enemy camp of the Hu people..."

"But can we trust him? If he sneaks away with the meteorite fragments..."

Hearing Jiang Yubo's concerns, Feng Yu said calmly and confidently: "Don't worry, if he dares to steal the meteorite, I will make him die without a burial place."

Xu Xiaogang took a deep breath and stared towards the Hu army camp in the distance.

As long as the sound of fighting was heard from the Hu army camp, it was the signal to attack.

……

At this moment, under the bright moonlight, Heng Tianxiao came alone into a dense forest.

Suddenly, pairs of eyes appeared in the dense forest.

puff.

One after another, the black-armored cavalrymen walked out of the dense forest.

These cavalrymen were wearing strange black armor, and each of them had a black iron mask on his face, revealing only his eyes that were glowing green.

The war horses were also covered in black armor and were fully armed.

Moreover, this team of cavalry exudes a breath of death. They are not living creatures, but rather like immortal undead spirits.

Nearly five hundred cavalrymen appeared in the woods.

A war horse quickly ran to Heng Tianxiao's side. Heng Tianxiao smiled on his weathered face and patted the horse's neck.

Then he jumped onto the horse, and in an instant, an inky black armor appeared on his body.

A black spear appeared in Heng Tianxiao's hand.

"Black Armor Army! Attack!"

In an instant, the front hooves of the warhorse under his knees waved in the air, and under the moonlight, five hundred black-armored soldiers like ghosts instantly rushed towards the camp of the Northern Hu commander.
