After hearing the news, Fang Zilan rushed to the city tower and saw that the soldiers below who had lost their leader were in a mess, and they all looked like they were bloodthirsty and wanted to fight the Miluo people.
Although it looked extremely fierce, it was completely unorganized. The Miluo people were not afraid at all. Their general rode up to meet them, and wherever the blade passed, there was blood and blood.
Fang Zilan's eyes were locked on Miluo General, and her brows were furrowed. This general looked too young and was not the same age as the rumored war god Murong Xun.
She felt strange in her heart, but her hands were not idle. She took the bow and arrow from Deputy General Cao's hand and shot three arrows straight at the general.
The people around the general yelled, "General, be careful." Then they flew towards him, blocked the arrow for him, and fell off their horses and died. However, Fang Zilan's attack was so ruthless that the general was inevitably scratched by one of the arrows.
When something unexpected happened, the general's heart tightened and he couldn't help but look up to the top of the city tower. Miluo soldiers quickly moved closer to him and were ready.
The Dajing army and horses that were facing them had only a moment of help from Fang Zilan. One of the young generals had already called for the whole team, quickly adjusted their formation, and rushed towards the Miluo people again.
"As expected of General Shen's teachings, the response is quick enough." Vice General Cao couldn't help but praise. Fang Zilan looked at the soldiers below who shared the same hatred with the enemy and the Miluo people on the opposite side who only hesitated for a moment and shouted to withdraw. The order was given: "Old Cao, order them to come back and not to pursue them."
"Yes." Vice General Cao made a gesture, and the messenger immediately passed the order. But until all the Miluo people withdrew, the soldiers under the city still had no intention of returning to the city.
Fang Zilan's face was as dark as water, "Are you still waiting for me to invite them back?"
"Boss..." Vice General Cao was cut off by her as soon as he started speaking, "Old Cao, go tell them to get back. Then bring the young general who is reorganizing the formation to me. I have something to ask him."
Vice General Cao took the order and left. Fang Zilan came down from the tower and went directly to the Chinese army's tent. After a while, I saw Vice General Cao coming in with a murderous young man.
As soon as the young man came in, he heard Fang Zilan say in a cold voice: "You disobey military orders and you are very courageous. How many heads do you have that I can chop off?"
"I..." The young man lowered his head and was shaking violently. His fists were clenched and his veins were bulging. He suddenly knelt down in front of her, bowed his head and said, "The general is teaching you a lesson. Please punish me!"
He clearly suppressed his emotions every word, and Fang Zilan spoke slowly, "I know that General Shen died for his country. Please forgive me and accept the change. From now on, I will take over Qiluo City, and everyone will return to my account. "
The young man's shoulders twitched and he didn't make a sound for a while. Fang Zilan lowered her eyes and looked at him, sighing softly, "I have something to ask you, you should get up and answer it first."
Hearing this, the young man still had no intention of getting up. Vice General Cao stepped forward and was about to pull him up when he saw him suddenly straighten up. His eyes were blood red and there were tears in his eyes. "I have something to ask of you, general, please grant me your permission."
Fang Zilan raised her eyebrows and snorted coldly: "I haven't punished you yet, what do you want from me?"
The young man carefully looked at the person in front of him, and suddenly he was stunned, "Are you... Mr. Fang?"
Fang Zilan was also stunned, thinking he looked familiar, "You are the deputy general next to General Shen, your name is Zhou..."
She was speechless for a moment, and the young man hurriedly said: "Zhou Lang, Master Fang still remembers me?"
"I have some impressions." Fang Zilan nodded slightly, "Just now I saw that your whole team is very good. I think you have been with General Shen for a long time. You should be the clearest about the military orders. Why are you still reluctant to come back?"
Zhou Lang bit his lip, calmed down a little, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Those bastards from Miluo, they took General Shen's body away!"
"What did you say?" A look of shock flashed across Fang Zilan's face, and Vice General Cao blurted out: "What are they doing to steal General Shen's body? The peace of the deceased is disturbed, it's such a shame!"
Fang Zilan had some concerns in her mind, and she lowered her expression and said solemnly: "Do you want to beg me to order General Shen's body to be taken back?"
"Yes." Zhou Lang nodded solemnly, "I am willing to bear all the punishments. Even if Mr. Fang wants to put a head on my neck, I will not hesitate. But before that, I ask Mr. Fang to allow me to take Shen. The general is back."
"What if I don't allow it?" Fang Zilan looked grim, and Zhou Lang raised his head and stared at her closely, "Then I can only take off this armor and go out of the city to fight alone."
"Nonsense." Fang Zilan's expression was gloomy and unclear, "Do you know now why the Miluo people want to snatch General Shen's body?"
Zhou Lang was not a confused person, and he understood most of it immediately after she did this. It was as if a basin of cold water was poured down on his head, and his whole body became sober.
"Boss, what you mean is that the Miluo people deliberately snatched General Shen's body just to force us to snatch it back?" Vice Admiral Cao looked solemn, and Fang Zilan pursed her lips, "Otherwise? Do you think they are kind-hearted and want to bury General Shen generously? ?”
Lieutenant General Cao did not dare to speak anymore, and just listened to Fang Zilan's own talk, "The Miluo people did it deliberately just because they knew that we would not sit idly by. They either sent troops to rob, or stole secretly, or the two sides negotiated, in order to If General Shen wants to come back, we have to choose one. But no matter which one, it will be harmful to us but not beneficial. "
"Listen to Mr. Fang..." Zhou Lang muttered in disbelief: "Are you going to let General Shen's body be humiliated by the Miluo people? Pity our general..."
"Did I say to sit idly by and ignore it?" Fang Zilan interrupted him unceremoniously, her expression a little sharper, "Let me ask you, who is leading the army in Miluo?"
"Master Fang, are you asking about the person who led the troops under the city just now?" Zhou Lang looked confused, "That was Jiang Hanze."
Fang Zilan frowned slightly, "Jiang Hanze, Murong Xun's disciple?"
"Exactly." Zhou Lang responded, and Fang Zilan asked: "Why him? Isn't Murong Xun here?"
"This... I don't know." Zhou Lang shook his head, "During the time I was in Qiluo City, I never saw Murong Xun when the two armies were fighting."
Fang Zilan was startled, stood up suddenly, and walked to the territory map, "Is it possible that Miluo people are not just this way?"
"Master Fang, don't worry." Zhou Lang's voice came from behind her, "General Shen had the same concerns before, but later he found that there was nothing abnormal on the east and west sides, so he guessed that the Miluo people were fighting too fast, so Murong Xun Send Jiang Hanze as the vanguard to attack the city and seize the territory, and follow behind to hold down the formation and clean up the captured city along the way. After all, Murong Xun's body may not be able to withstand a rapid march."
Vice Admiral Cao asked curiously: "Is there something wrong with Murong Xun's health?"
Zhou Lang explained: "The two adults have lived far away from the capital for a long time, so they may not know something. Murong Xun was seriously ill at the beginning of the year, and it is said that he almost lost his life. Therefore, when General Shen heard that he was leading the invasion, I still feel strange. But when I saw Jiang Hanze before the battle, I thought it was nothing. After all, Murong Xun is the God of War of Miluo, and almost all the generals in Miluo Court are his disciples. Why does he need to go into battle in person? It is enough to sit at the rear. "
