The enemy troops flanked by two groups have already entered the Shu camp.
In the middle of the camp, Xu Mu was not impatient and commanded four to five hundred people to form a defensive formation. He used his rifles in the formation as an attack and shot down the approaching enemy troops.
Wait for some more time to pass——
An inspiring military drum suddenly sounded. Then, under the command of Chen Sheng, the men and horses who had been ambushed in the military tent of the camp began to roar out and fight their way out.
"How come there are so many people!" Dong Xin looked shocked.
"This Thief Xu, the entire formation is filled with wounded soldiers! All the real elites have been ambushed by him."
Dong Xin was stunned and became even more angry. He waved his knife as if he was crazy and rushed forward regardless.
"Cooperate with our formation to surround and kill the enemy! Reinforcements from Western Shu have arrived. Those who surrender will not be killed!" Chen Sheng held a knife in one hand, vaguely showing the air of a general.
Under the strong force, the sound of the military drums, and the deception of the reinforcements, many of the enemies at this time were suddenly frightened.
"Owl leader!"
Even though the numbers were not superior, they were united and all were veterans of many battles. For a time, the Shu army became more and more courageous as they fought.
"Prioritize the protection of the wounded soldiers and secure the formation." Xu Mu stood up and looked around, observing the fighting around him.
"Tie Xu, if you destroy my Dong family lineage, you will die badly!" Not far away, Dong Xin raised his knife and pointed it at him, yelling loudly.
Dong?
Xu Mu's face was expressionless. In the past few years, he had done a lot of killing. But in such troubled times, there is no point in being a lamb. Only by fighting a way can he stand firm.
He raised his finger and pointed at Dong Xin's position. Beside Xu Mu, a dozen secret guards who were closely guarding him immediately understood.
"Behead the generals in front of the formation and destroy the morale of the army!"
"Raise the crossbow!"
Not far away, there were four or five secret guards. They jumped on the shoulders of their colleagues and raised the iron crossbows in their hands. This configuration, starting from Yin Hu, has always been the weapon of these secret guards.
"Shoot."
Dong Xin, who looked like a madman, raised his knife and shouted angrily, but before he could rush forward——
Thump thump thump.
Four or five crossbow arrows passed through his body, leaving bloody holes one after another.
Dong Xin coughed up blood, raised his head and screamed unwillingly, and fell to the ground. The knife in his hand was also wrapped in the dust.
"The enemy general has been killed by our Shu people! Surrender immediately!" Xu Mu shouted angrily.
"The enemy general has been killed by our Shu people! Surrender quickly!!"
In an instant, Shu soldiers were everywhere shouting.
Originally, he had lost his fighting spirit, but at this moment, he heard that General Dong Xin had died in battle. For a time, there were fleeing enemy troops everywhere.
"Leave no one alive, continue killing!" Chen Sheng, who was covered in blood from the killing, raised his knife and ordered.
…
"Damn..."
The man in the flying eagle mask could not stop trembling. He finally understood why his master did not let him provoke Thief Xu.
"Dharma Protector, we are ambushed."
"I'm not blind." Feiying Mask gritted his teeth and glanced at Dong Xin's body lying dead on the ground. After this incident, when he meets his master, he will definitely be severely punished.
"Let me think about it, maybe there is a way-"
"Protector, General Tiger from Western Shu has already come to kill us!"
His thoughts were interrupted, and Flying Eagle Mask quickly raised his head. When he saw the big man dragging a giant axe, he was chattering one ax after another——
"Retreat, retreat quickly!" With a trembling voice, the Flying Eagle Mask quickly used Qinggong and disappeared on the sand first.
"Don't run away, come and compete with your Grandpa Si Hu!"
Si Hu dragged the giant ax and chased eight streets away. When he realized that he could not earn any military merit, he cursed again and ran towards the camp.
"Lord, we are waiting for a great victory!" Chen Sheng also returned to the camp, his voice couldn't stop being excited. Seriously speaking, although it was a small-scale battle, it was still his first battle out of the mountain.
"Brother Sheng did a good job." Xu Mu smiled. He has always been nurturing towards Chen Sheng. Seriously, he is a direct descendant who has followed him all the way.
"Three hundred people will stay behind to count the battle damage and collect weapons and armor. The remaining ones will follow me into the underground palace."
He didn't intend to delay. Taking advantage of the enemy's defeat, whether it was the underground palace or other enemies, it was a good opportunity to strike while the iron was hot.
Xu Mu did not notice that in the dim sky, there was a black eagle that hovered in the sky for a while before flapping its wings again and flying towards the Western Region.
…
"Chirp."
Under the noon sun, on the balcony of Dawanguo Street, a handsome young man stretched out his arm after spitting out a strange syllable.
Not long after, a black hawk landed on his arm.
The black hawk could not speak human language, but it kept chirping. For a moment, the young man frowned and drove the black hawk up into the sky again.
"Master, what happened."
The young man sat down with a cold face, holding his temples with one hand.
"Grey Eagle has missed the point."
"Isn't Gray Eagle in the underground palace? That place will be used by the master to hide the army in the future."
"Trash." The young man closed his eyes, "I have told him before that he should not be exposed. There is no chance that Thief Xu will follow the clues and find out all the way."
"Master, I saw Prince Lou Luo already leaving the royal city early this morning. He is probably going to the border to mobilize troops."
"Move the troops and make more detours. By the time they run out of the Western Region, Thief Xu will have almost arrived." The young man opened his eyes, his face full of anger. "If he enters the Western Region, I will have no chance."
"Four people, four directions, but my side is the only one, and the mission has never been completed. First, Li Zhiqiu went to the Western Regions to recuperate. His reputation as the best knight in the world made me dare not move. Then there were Shu people who entered the Western Regions, and then the Yin people came to the Western Regions.
Hu, he is clearly a man of both civil and military skills. It's good now, even Thief Xu is here."
"My master... also won over many kings in the Western Region."
"So what, it's just like a plate of loose sand. I regret a little that I didn't dare to make a move against Zhenlan City and attracted the Shu people."
The guard in black next to him silently lowered his voice.
The young man was deep in thought. Under the sunlight, his face became even more beautiful. He had a tall nose and brown eyes.
After a long time, he got up. After pushing away the guard next to him, he walked down the stairs alone and walked into the street.
Finally, he stopped in front of an ordinary civilian hospital. He straightened his robe several times and opened the door.
In the room of the Mingyuan, a middle-aged scholar holding a langhao pen in his hand slowly stopped.
"Teacher, I made a mistake this time."
The middle-aged scholar was probably mute. He didn't reply for a long time. He only raised his finger and motioned for the young man to sit down first.
Outside the People's Court.
Several fast horses from the Dawan Kingdom ran through the shade of the grape vines and the bustle of the streets, heading straight towards the palace.
Today, they received terrible news. Prince Louluo of the Dayuan King secretly mobilized the border troops and set out to fight outside the oasis.
