Chapter 314 Deploying Troops
After Zhao Mingcheng explained some matters related to Zicheng, Ye Ru didn't pay much attention to his imperial examination results and went with him to the Northern Border to support Chen Tianjian.
Zhong Yuemou did not die in the previous battle of the barbican. On the contrary, his military talent was worth the demon race sparing their lives. Zhong Yuemou was also very familiar with Sun Tzu's Art of War. He was familiar with the principles of speed and knowing oneself and one's enemy.
Moreover, and most importantly, Zhong Yuemou already knows that Ye Ru is taking the imperial examination today, and without Ye Ru, his chances of winning have greatly increased.
"I wonder how Lord Chen Tianjian is doing. The key lies in these three days. I should know what Zhong Yuemou is thinking. After three days, regardless of success or failure, they will definitely retreat."
During the journey, Ye Ru frowned and looked toward the northern border. Even from such a distance, he could feel a murderous aura.
"I hope they'll be alright, but I don't know if there's anything we two can do."
Zhao Mingcheng sighed and then sped up.
north.
The entire army was raised to the highest alert level, awaiting Lord Chen's return. This time, the demon race's arrival was hostile, and this last line of defense had to be well defended.
A captain, holding a long spear, spoke with a serious expression.
"Yes!"
The other soldiers all nodded in agreement.
"who!"
At that moment, the captain looked into the distance and then shouted coldly.
"it's me."
In a few flashes, Ye Ru appeared and then cupped his hands in greeting to the captain.
"So it's Lord Ye. Isn't today the imperial examination? What are you doing here?"
Upon seeing Ye Ru, the captain immediately became respectful. Although he was just a lowly captain, he had participated in Ye Ru's command of battles.
"How many days has Lord Chen been gone?"
Ye Rudao.
"About three days later, I heard that demons were appearing in the Wenggu area, so Lord Chen went to Wenggu to investigate. What happened?"
The captain pondered for a moment, then spoke.
How many soldiers did you take with you?
"Three thousand, including Mr. Guo Ku and others, have gone. This place is under the command of Vice General Wang."
The captain said.
"Three thousand soldiers... Lord Chen is in trouble."
Zhao Mingcheng took a deep breath and said.
"Commander, Lord Chen is probably surrounded. Perhaps he is in Wenggu now or has already been surrounded."
Ye Ru said in a deep voice.
"What? I was wondering why Lord Chen hasn't replied yet. If what you said is true, then Lord Chen is already surrounded in Wenggu, and they can't get out now, because the only way out after Wenggu has been blocked by the demons."
The captain suddenly realized what was happening and immediately said to Ye Ru:
"Lord Ye, I will tell Vice General Wang right now to send 5,000 troops to assist Lord Chen."
"Take me with you."
Ye Ru nodded and then followed him into a military tent.
"This humble general, Xue Min, has important matters to report."
"Come in."
Commandant Xue Min entered the military tent, where a middle-aged man in armor stood. His eyes were sinister, and his face held a cunning and calculating air.
"What's wrong? How are the border guards in the north?"
The deputy general turned around, looked at Xue Min, and said in a deep voice.
"Lord Ye said that Lord Chen is surrounded in Wenggu and requested that 5,000 troops be dispatched to his aid. I have come here for this matter."
Xue Min said respectfully.
"Nonsense! Isn't this a false report? Lord Chen said earlier that everything was peaceful, how could there be a demon attacking Wenggu!"
Upon hearing this, Deputy General Wang's expression suddenly changed, and he slammed his hand on the table, angrily rebuking Xue Min, who immediately knelt down:
"This……"
“Lord Wang, it’s better to believe it than not to believe it. Don’t you think so? My letter says that Lord Chen has suffered a setback, so I have to go there for both reason and duty. However, Lord Zhao and I are just a drop in the ocean, so we need five thousand soldiers.”
At this moment, Ye Ru stepped forward and said in a deep voice. Ye Ru had noticed that the expression on the face of the deputy general earlier was also a bit strange. It seemed to be a mixture of joy and sorrow, but more so joy.
If Chen Tianjian were in danger, the soldiers should show concern, not this expression.
"No, if the demon race attacks, we will be too weak to resist with so many fewer troops. You may not know this, but according to our scouts, the demon race has joined forces with the monsters to attack this place. Therefore, the northern defense line cannot be lost."
Vice General Wang's expression shifted between light and dark, but he then spoke in a deep voice.
"I'm definitely borrowing these troops! With the Emperor's Sword in hand, I can command anyone at will!"
Ye Ru finally sensed that something was wrong with the other party and became even more certain that Chen Tianjian was surrounded. He immediately took out the Emperor's Sword and shouted sharply.
"By order of the City Lord of Zicheng, I command you to dispatch five thousand troops to aid Lord Chen!"
Zhao Mingcheng took out a golden token and shouted.
"This is how the same thing……"
Seeing this tense scene, Xue Min's expression changed. They were so amicable at first, how come they suddenly pulled out the Emperor's Sword and then the Purple City Lord's Decree...?
"You dare to be so bold! Guards!"
"The Emperor's Sword is here! Seeing this sword is like seeing the Emperor himself! Let's see who dares to touch it! Do you intend to rebel?"
As dozens of soldiers arrived, Ye Ru raised the Emperor's Sword and shouted in a deep voice.
The deep shout made the soldiers' hearts skip a beat, but they immediately recognized Ye Ru and dared not act rashly.
After all, Ye Ru led his army to a crushing defeat of the demon race, allowing them to finally regain their pride after being suppressed.
"Do you dare disobey military orders?"
Seeing that the soldiers had stopped moving, Vice General Wang's gaze sharpened, and he spoke.
"What exactly do you intend to do? Could you be a spy from the demon race? I only need to borrow five thousand soldiers. If Lord Chen is safe and sound, I will return the soldiers. The demon race and the demon clan will not attack at this time, will they?"
Ye Ru gave a cold laugh, which caused Vice General Wang's expression to change drastically. He then said:
"You misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I can't give you five thousand soldiers. I can only lend you two thousand. If I can, I'll transfer them to you right now. If not, even if you kill me, there's nothing I can do."
Deputy General Wang stared at Ye Ru and spoke slowly. The latter pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Alright, I agree. Two thousand soldiers it is. When can we set out?"
"What will happen in an hour?"
"Half an hour."
Ye Ru raised his head and said decisively.
"it is good!"
Gritting his teeth, Vice General Wang nodded, then stepped out of the military tent and began to deploy troops.
"Lord Zhao, pay attention to your senses."
Ye Ru said meaningfully, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
