In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Mu Heng set off for the war.
Naturally, all the courtiers in the court should go to the noon gate to see him off.
Mu Heng was afraid that Nuobao would come out and the two of them would be separated. The little girl would feel uncomfortable and cry when she walked to the palace alone.
Just don't let anyone deliver it.
He left on horseback.
This time he took away the mighty army that looked like a mighty wave at first glance, and the dense crowd was very majestic.
The people only knew that war was about to start again.
One by one sighed and said, "I heard that this time it was all because the other party's third prince was detained by us, so Beiming started to send troops and united a bunch of surrounding small countries to attack us. The prime minister said, and then we released him, and then Send the princess there and arrange a baby marriage first, and this war can actually be avoided!"
"That's right! You didn't see the cartloads of grain and grass being escorted out. How long will it be enough for us people to eat?!"
"Let me tell you that I think the Prime Minister did the right thing. This war should not have been fought in the first place! I don't even have enough food at home, and I have to pay so much food in taxes every year!"
"Oh, I'm telling you, Aunt Liu, eldest brother Li, there's something wrong with what you said. You're just a frog in the well!"
At this time, a woman said, "My son told me that Beiming has been harassing the people in our border areas for many years. He has long wanted to attack us, rob us of our food, and then rob us of your daughters." They are concubines!
This time we deliberately launched an attack. In fact, we have been preparing for many years and found an excuse that is not valid! Then if we return the prince and send the princess over, the other party will not let it go. Instead, they will think that we are afraid. Spread the word to boost the enemy's morale, break down our city gates, capture our country, and make us their slaves!"
"What, a small country like Beiming actually has such big ideas? Is it true?"
"It's natural! The smaller these places are, the easier it is to have whims! Instead of working hard, they want to burn, kill and plunder other countries' things to strengthen their own country!" An old lady said, "That time Aunt Hua said You must be right, his son passed the Jinshi exam this year, and he is different from ordinary people like us, so just listen to him!"
"Then the Prime Minister also said..."
"What did he say? His Majesty said that he would let him take a bath first and go home to think about it for a while. He himself said that he had done something wrong!"
Someone around them spoke.
With this said, everyone naturally felt that this battle must be fought, and also shifted their focus and hatred to the country Beiming.
The few people who took advantage of the troubled waters breathed a sigh of relief and retreated.
These people were naturally arranged by Mu Heng.
After all, he was a descendant of the royal family, so he knew in his heart how many ways there were to kill people. Apart from the swords and guns, the most powerful thing was words and public opinion.
The most pitiable people during the march and war are the common people. If we don't make it clear at this time, I'm afraid the common people will think that Your Majesty is unwilling to give up a princess in exchange for their safety!
The most important thing at the moment is to shift the focus of the matter and let everyone's hatred focus on Beiming.
Mu Heng played this move very well.
But Nuobao in the palace was also a little restless. These days, she had been dreaming about a black mist attacking the emperor's uncle.
Logically speaking, the emperor's uncle would not make any mistakes while holding her scales, but her uneasiness disturbed her and made her unable to sleep well all night long.
After Mu Han found out, he frowned and simply asked someone to bring the falcon that could go to the front line.
"If Nuobao wants to tell your Uncle Huang, you can write it down on this piece of paper! You can tell him anything you want."
Nuobao naturally wanted to say something, but she couldn't write, so she scribbled pictures on the paper, hoping that the other party would understand what she meant.
At this moment, the frontier is thousands of miles away.
Mu Heng also led people to the battlefield.
At this moment, due to the change in weather, this place has been frozen for thousands of miles. If we had not prepared enough clothes for the soldiers when they came, I am afraid that they would freeze to death here before they could fight.
But even so, the soldiers trembled.
"War King, if you go further you will reach a deep mountain. After crossing this mountain, we can join the army."
Mu Heng nodded and glanced at the endless mountains.
The horse beneath him was restless, and for some reason, he also had a bad feeling in his heart.
Despite this, he still said, "The new Xiaofeng people are sent in to investigate. If there are no other questions, we will hurry up today and rush to the place directly to avoid more trouble."
"Yes!" the other party agreed.
The soldiers sent out ran very fast.
After going around in a circle and taking a few glances at the place where the opponent was most likely to set up an ambush, there were no traces of anyone coming or going. Then he ran back and said, "War King Qi, there is no danger ahead, you can continue marching!"
Mu Heng nodded and took the lead in riding a horse.
The glacier has no end, and the horse's hooves step on the very smooth ice.
Mu Heng continued walking with the team.
There was no sound except the cold wind.
He suddenly felt something was wrong.
He quickly raised his hand, and the lieutenant below quickly understood its meaning, causing everyone to stop.
"General, what's wrong?" the deputy general asked.
"The terrain here is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. If the enemy sets up an ambush again, it will be bad."
"But War King, there are no traces of anyone coming or going here!"
Except for the ice below, the most abundant thing here is snow. The white snow is very clean.
But it was because of this cleanliness that Mu Heng felt something was wrong.
"There should be many raptors and small animals in such a mountain, but when you look at the ground, there are no traces of animals at all."
There are two possibilities. "This possibility is that there was another heavy snowfall last night, covering all traces, including traces of people and land.
Another possibility is that these traces were artificially covered. Do you understand what I mean? "
As soon as Mu Heng said this, the deputy general's expression changed drastically and he glanced around subconsciously, "What does the King of War mean that someone has already ambushed us?"
"How is this possible? The important minister said that the King of War is too cautious! A small country like Beiming still has the brains to ambush us. Don't they love to fight with brute force?"
One of the generals on this march laughed.
"If they didn't have brute force and brains, they wouldn't be able to plan. It took them so long to attack Canglan."
Mu Heng was unwilling to do anything risky, so he said, "Inform everyone to turn around and walk out, then launch a signal flare and ask the people over there to come over to respond. This way, we can form a double-team to surround them."
"But Prince, how do you know there must be someone?"
There was a general who was not satisfied with their journey. It could be said that they were eating chaffy vegetables.
No wonder I want to say that this war cannot be fought. They can't adapt to the climate here at all. The steamed buns and pancakes they brought were all frozen and hard, and they had to boil hot water to melt them before they could eat them. In the mouth.
The most important thing is that some people have developed hemorrhoids while holding weapons, and some people have developed typhoid fever because of the cold. There is no way to cure it, and they have died on the road.
This is a cruel war.
If they didn't enter the city to join the army and find a place to stay in the city, they would be afraid that more people would freeze to death and more people would not have the strength to walk on.
However, Mu Heng was very determined, "Let's go!"
Okay, he said this, and the general reluctantly spoke and let the 100,000 troops move back little by little.
He muttered in his heart that he is really a lunatic. He is so cautious every day. How can he be called a war king? He is called a bastard!
Who would have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, a strange whistle suddenly sounded.
The voice is so unfamiliar!
"It's a secret code used by people from Beiming Kingdom to communicate!"
"not good--!"
The general reacted, but it was already too late.
"Swish-swish-swish-"
Arrows all over the sky fell from the sky, and one soldier after another was shot to death in panic.
Mu Heng pulled out his long sword and cut off the arrows, shouting, "They have less than 10,000 soldiers, but we have 100,000 soldiers! You are an elite division!"
Everyone should take out their shields to defend themselves and retreat in an orderly manner! Don’t panic, I am here! I will do my best to protect you and get home safely!"
With Mu Heng's words, these people realized that they had an army of 100,000, and the opponent's number must be inferior to theirs, and they could still win if they gave it a try.
In particular, although the opponent's location is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as they exit this valley, their world will be theirs outside!
Mu Heng is worthy of being the God of War. The arrows he cut off several times made everyone feel at ease.
only……
As everyone continued to retreat, a man in black robe standing on the mountain saw this and just curled his lips and sneered.
“The mantis is trying to act like a chariot, and he is underestimating his own abilities!”
A ball of black air flew fiercely towards the nearby mountains, and only the overwhelming snow rolled down from the mountains.
"It's an avalanche! A blood avalanche is coming! Run, run quickly!"
"Help, I don't want to die yet!"
"These turtles! They actually carried out a sneak attack!"
"War King, run quickly, we are here waiting to retreat!"
But Mu Heng couldn't run.
In the face of life and death, he was the leader and ran away. How could the people below really have the morale to fight this battle?
The most important reason why he can't master it is that on the battlefield, he treats himself as an equal and a soldier underneath.
He believes that his life is so important that he must be superior to others and let everyone sacrifice in exchange for his safety.
On the contrary, if you bring these children out and promise that their parents will try their best to bring them back safely, you must fulfill your promise.
"Escape together!"
The black man punched the nearby stone again.
I saw a huge stone rushing towards Mu Heng.
If this trend continues, it will soon be crushed into meat patties.
Everyone's eyes were splitting.
However, at the critical moment, the amulet around Mu Heng's waist suddenly burst with a burst of red light and rushed towards the boulder.
I saw that the boulder had inexplicably changed its original trajectory and hit a tree nearby.
"What's going on?" General Liu asked.
Vice General Li said, "Do you still have to ask? It must be the blessing of our ancestors! Let's go quickly!"
Mu Heng touched the amulet around his waist and had an inexplicable intuition that Nuobao had given him the amulet to bless him.
"Interesting! I actually smell a hint of dragon scales."
The man in black robe changed his original idea of squeezing them to death and jumped down from the mountain, bringing invisible oppression.
The distance was so high that others would have fallen into a pile of mud, but he was able to float smoothly in mid-air.
"What kind of monster is this?!"
Vice Admiral Guo felt something was wrong, "Your Majesty, leave quickly, I'm here!"
"Monster? Haha, you are really ignorant mortals. None of you can leave today!"
After saying that, a ball of black energy hit him hard.
The small red fish scales burst out with light but were crushed by the black energy.
Mu Heng took the lead in drawing his sword to block, but was pierced in the chest by the opponent's sharp sword made of black energy.
"War King!" Vice General Guo and General Liu's eyes were splitting, and they angrily slashed at them with their knives, but their necks were cut off by a hand made of black mist.
"It's such a living body. What a pity. I thought that a carp fillet that didn't transform into a dragon could bless you."
The man looked at Mu Heng who died in front of him, "But you are smarter and more powerful than these losers. I will reward you and become my puppet!"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and disappeared.
*
At the same time, in Cangming’s palace.
Nuobao's heart hurt and he suddenly woke up from the bed, "Uncle Nine Emperors!"
She dreamed that Uncle Nine Emperors was in danger.
The pillow was wet with tears. She didn't care about it. She didn't even put on her shoes and went to find her father.
However, at this moment, in the main hall, there is a battle report from the front line.
The little soldier knelt down and said, "...the King of War fell into the enemy's scheme and disappeared. His life and death are unknown!"
