Chapter 416 Soldiers marching at night
On the bank of Ru River, there is the camp of the Wei army.
On top of the camp wall, red military flags fluttered high in the wind; under the red flags, each Wei army soldier stood in place like a mountain.
Although there was no sound or movement, one could still feel the huge power accumulated in these Wei warriors.
They are the most powerful army in the entire Wei State and even in today's world. They are the sharpest swords in the hands of the King of Wei.
They once crossed the surging river, they also crossed the majestic Taihang; they once fought bloody martial arts battles with the Qi State, and also defeated the Tiger and Wolf Qin Division.
In the past ten years or so, they had conquered all the battles in the world, but they suffered a defeat at the hands of the Chu army.
The feeling of failure is unpleasant, even if the failure was intentional by General Pang Juan.
Reluctant looks appeared in the eyes of the Wei soldiers, and shame continued to emerge in their hearts. Silence and depression became the mainstream in the military formation.
It was at this time that a burst of footsteps sounded in front of them, and Gongsun Cuo, with a solemn face, slowly walked up the steps in front.
As his feet stood still, Gongsun Cuo glanced at the group of soldiers below, and he felt that a wounded tiger was lying in front of him.
The most dangerous time for a tiger is when it is injured, because if there is any disturbance, it will explode with its most powerful strength.
After calming down a little, Gongsun Cuo's voice appeared in the camp, "Soldiers..."
"You are the best soldiers in our country of Wei, and even in the entire world."
"Every time I stand with you for more than ten years, I have no fear in my heart and I firmly believe that I can be invincible."
"But just yesterday, we were defeated at the hands of the Chu army."
Along with Gongsun Cuo's voice, more and more eyes were cast forward.
"This is a shame!"
"It's a shame to me, Gongsun Cuo! It's a shame to all the soldiers! It's a shame to the entire Wei State!"
The voices became louder and louder, and the emotions became more and more progressive, until finally the eyes of all the Wei warriors present showed endless fighting spirit.
Suddenly, Gongsun Cuo's voice suddenly stopped, as if everything suddenly disappeared.
Under the scorching gazes of the soldiers, Gongsun Zuo's deep voice rang out.
"The only way to wash away the shame is the blood of the Chu army."
"Yesterday, because of us, Tangxi City was gained and lost. This time I will lead you to the hinterland of the Chu army, so that our enemies and the people of the world can once again recall the power of my Wei soldiers."
"My fellow soldiers, are you willing to come with me?"
The moment Gongsun Cuo's voice fell, the whole place fell into silence again, until a voice rang out.
"Avenge!"
"Avenge!"
"Avenge!"
…
The voice of revenge turned into a storm and soon swept through the entire Wei army camp.
"Kakaka..."
As the camp gate slowly opened with a squeeze of wood, a giant red dragon came out.
As a famous Wei soldier who formed this giant dragon, there were not many unnecessary expressions on their faces at this moment, only the desire to wash away the shame in their eyes.
Standing on the camp wall, silently watching the red figure gradually become blurry in his sight, the deputy general looked at the general Pang Juan next to him.
"General, General Gongsun is here..."
Hearing the worry in the deputy general's words, General Pang Juan looked at the giant red dragon on the horizon in the distance, and a look of confidence appeared on his face.
"They are the most elite soldiers of our Wei Kingdom. If I don't even trust them, who can I trust?"
Time passed quickly as Gongsun Cuo's troops marched, and gradually night fell on the earth.
"who!"
In the night, a horrifying sound appeared so suddenly.
With the help of the bright light above his head, the Chu army scout who was the owner of the voice looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him with a wary face.
It didn't take much time. Judging from the shape of the weapons held by the opponent, the Chu army scouts already understood that the person standing in front of them was an enemy and not a friend.
Without having time to think for a moment, the Chu army scout immediately stabbed his opponent with a long sword in his hand.
"clang……"
The sound of metal clashing between long swords was particularly clear in this silent night, and the Chu army scout who took several steps back could understand the opponent's difficulty from his already numb arms.
Before the Chu army scouts could react, a sword attack came quickly. This move was clearly intended to kill the Chu army scouts on the spot.
"clang……"
There was another clash of swords, but this time the Chu army scouts who retreated more clearly had a sly smile on their faces.
After just two collisions of forces, the Chu army scouts already understood that they were no match for them, and the best option now was to retreat.
Without the slightest hint of fighting, with the help of the huge force brought by the collision, the Chu army scout quickly broke away from the opposite side, turned around and was about to disappear into the darkness.
Just when the Chu army scout was secretly rejoicing, a sharp crack suddenly sounded through the air, followed by the dull sound of a corpse falling to the ground.
On this night, the scouts sent by the Chu army around Tangxi City suffered a devastating blow, and only a few of the scouts survived.
They either died in a surprise attack by Wei army scouts or were killed by swords in battle. Some of them died when they were about to escape.
"General, our army's scouts have cleared the area around Tangxi City. The army can pass through safely."
"good!"
Gongsun Cuo nodded gently, his eyes serious, and issued a brief order to the Wei soldiers under his command.
"Pass through quickly and be careful."
"Here."
In the dark night, under the eyes of the Chu army, Wei Wuzu crossed Tangxi and joined two Chu cities at extremely fast speeds.
It wasn't until a cockcrow broke the silence of the night that the Chu army's forward general Shen Gong Qu Hong, who was in Tangxi City, finally received the news that the Chu army's scouts had suffered heavy losses.
After taking the bamboo slips, the deputy general read them over and said: "To suffer such losses overnight, the Wei army probably sent out a lot of force."
"It's just the Wei army's revenge on our Chu army. We can't win in a big battle, so we resort to these villains' tricks."
"General Pang Juan, I can't stand this!"
Duke Shen Qu Hong didn't seem to care about last night's losses, but the lieutenant on the side reminded him with some worry.
"Mr. Shen, does the Wei army have some conspiracy behind such a large-scale war?"
"What you said makes some sense." After pondering for a moment, Shen Gong Qu Hong immediately ordered: "Send more scouts again, and report immediately if there is any trouble in the Wei army."
"In addition, send messengers to Hebo to let them strengthen their defenses."
"General, obey the order."
