The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 172: Conquer a City

While Mu Jiuchen was waiting, a large number of soldiers in the Jin army camp had been poisoned. It turned out that the poison Wulu had people use on the Shang soldiers was actually a poison he brought from the Jin, but it had been improved and processed. But what he didn't expect was that this poison had no effect on the Shang soldiers, but instead poisoned their own soldiers. When they prepared the poison themselves, they didn't prepare a large amount of antidote, because it was originally used on the Shang soldiers.

Even if there was an antidote, it was only for those generals. When Wulu saw this situation, he understood why the food and grass were burned and poisoned tonight. After taking the antidote, he went to the fourth prince's tent and found that he was not there. So he quickly ordered a retreat, and the Jin army camp retreated a hundred miles in the dark with the few remaining soldiers and fled the city.

When Wanyan Yi saw the crowds in the military camp, his eyes were filled with gloom and ferocity. He cursed in his heart: "Mu Jiuchen, this bastard, has ruined my plan again and again! If it weren't for his actions in the Shang Dynasty last time that caused our spies to suffer heavy losses, we could have used poison in advance to cause the plague this time, but because Mu Jiuchen noticed the situation in Liujia Village, the plan fell through again. Now, it has failed again!"

"Oh my God, why is it so unfair? Why is there both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang? Am I doomed to fail when I meet Mu Jiuchen?"

As time passed, the sky gradually turned pale, but the Shang army was still waiting in place, not daring to move forward rashly. They knew that the enemy camp was full of poisons, and if they entered too early, they would probably be poisoned. Therefore, they could only wait patiently and look for the right time to attack.

Perhaps it was God's will. Just as the sky was getting light, it suddenly became overcast and a heavy rain poured down. Mu Jiuchen immediately ordered everyone to retreat to the camp to avoid the rain. He stood in front of the tent and looked towards the enemy camp. Due to the fierce scouring of the rain, the fire in the enemy camp gradually went out, and black smoke billowed above the enemy camp. He knew in his heart that the poison had disappeared without a trace after the baptism of the heavy rain.

The rainstorm lasted for the entire morning and did not stop until the afternoon. Mu Jiuchen led the army to move quickly, crossing the battle line and heading straight for the enemy camp. When they arrived at the enemy camp, they saw a devastating scene. Countless poisoned soldiers' bodies were lying on the charred ground, emitting a disgusting smell.

The soldiers of the Shang Dynasty looked at the corpses on the ground, and a trace of sadness surged in their hearts, but this emotion was soon replaced by determination. If it weren't for the victory of their king's night attack, the soldiers lying on the ground now would be the soldiers of the Shang Dynasty. The Shang Dynasty army began to clean up the battlefield and confiscate the weapons and supplies that the Wulu army had not had time to take away.

Wulu abandoned Dawa City behind him without looking back. He knew that he had been defeated and could no longer compete with Mu Jiuchen. At this time, the gates of Dawa City were wide open and no one was guarding it, as if it was an empty city.

Mu Jiuchen led his army into Dawa City without hesitation. This city used to be the stronghold of Uru, but now it became Mu Jiuchen's spoils of war. The people in the city were still immersed in sleep and knew nothing about what was happening outside.

When the sun rose, the common people woke up from their dream. They found that the military camp outside the city had been burned down, with flames rising to the sky and burning all night. However, they did not know what all this meant, and they did not expect that after waking up, a downpour would bring such a big change to them.

As the rain stopped and the sky cleared, the flag of the Shang Dynasty began to fly in Dawa. The common people realized that their city had fallen and they had been abandoned by the national army. Although they were filled with helplessness and sadness, they had to accept this reality.

Mu Jiuchen stood on the wall of Dawa City, overlooking the land. A triumphant smile appeared on his face, and his heart was filled with pride. He successfully conquered the city of Jin and won an important victory for the Shang Dynasty. But he knew that this war was just the beginning, and there were more challenges waiting for him ahead.

Ulu rode at full speed to Udo City, which was a hundred miles away from Dawa City. After entering the city, he immediately went to the city lord's mansion.

When he walked into the hall, he saw the fourth prince Wanyan Yi sitting in the first seat.

"Fourth Prince!" Wu Lu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, saying, "We really miscalculated this time. We didn't expect Mu Jiuchen to be so cruel that he dared to come here in person to burn our food supplies. It's really abominable!"

Ulu clenched his fists angrily and said through gritted teeth: "All the poison we carefully prepared has been wasted. It seems that this plan cannot be implemented."

Wanyan Yi's face was gloomy, with anger and unwillingness flashing in his eyes. He snorted coldly and said, "Humph! Let's discuss this after a short rest!"

How could he not feel resentment in his heart? Originally, they thought they had set up a trap to defeat Mu Jiuchen in one fell swoop, but they didn't expect that he escaped the trap and caused them huge losses in return.

Now they can only readjust their strategies and find ways to deal with the current predicament. But in any case, this war has become more difficult.

The mayor of Wuduo City looked at the two men in front of him. He could not afford to offend either of them, so he simply kept quiet.

"Lord Ku, how many soldiers do you have in this city? Temporarily requisition them to guard the city gates. Now close the gates and defend them strictly." Wanyan Yi looked at the timid Cullinan and sneered in his heart. How could such a timid person sit on the position of city lord.

He looked at Ulu again and told him, "Go count the number of people now. As for the food and grass supplies, leave them to Lord Ku. I will immediately write to my father for instructions on any subsequent needs. Don't worry!"
