After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!
Chapter 87: The First Defeat
The core area of the Northern Frontier Camp.
Thirteen guards stood watch near Chen Futu's main camp. Knowing that their young master was being intimate with Zhao Xier, none of them approached the camp, keeping a distance of about twenty paces from the main camp.
Just then, a strong wind arose, and immediately afterward, a thousand elite Dragon Barbarians suddenly charged out from the northeast corner of the camp, heading straight for the central army camp.
"Enemy attack!"
"Defend quickly!"
The thirteen guards discovered that someone was attacking the commander's tent, and immediately all of them rushed forward to engage in battle.
At the same time, the Western Zhao personal guards scattered around also rushed to surround them. Even the commander of the Western Zhao personal guards, who was decocting medicine, couldn't care less about the medicine jar and hurriedly drew his sword to enter the camp.
Consort Ge had been waiting outside the main tent since delivering the message, and upon seeing this, she immediately stopped him, saying, "General, you cannot go in!"
"Get out of the way! Can't you see the enemy is attacking? I must protect the king and get him out of here!"
"no!"
Consort Ge held onto her curved sword and refused to let go.
At this moment, a thousand elite dragon barbarians rapidly approached, forcing the two to step forward to fight and protect the command tent.
This attack was premeditated.
Long Man was fully aware of the deployment of the Northern Frontier Army camp. He knew that Ma Chao and others had led a large army to block them, and that the main force of the Western Zhao in the camp had already withdrawn, leaving the defenses extremely weak.
The thousand elite troops that Long Jie sent this time were also elite guards, with extremely strong combat power.
They engaged the Western Zhao's personal guards and were able to quickly suppress the Western Zhao side. In just a short while, hundreds of men had reached the vicinity of the commander's tent.
"Stop them quickly!"
Thirteen guards fought desperately, while Consort Ge and the commander of the imperial guards held their tent tightly, fighting to the death.
The commander finally understood what the king was doing in the command tent; otherwise, Consort Ge would not have stopped him from entering.
As a subordinate, no matter what his lord was doing, he would do his best to defend him!
At this moment, blood flowed like a river outside the commander's tent, and the sounds of battle shook the heavens, while inside the tent, Chen Futu was still tightly holding Zhao Xier.
Zhao Xier bit her lip, her body drenched in sweat, her expression extremely anxious.
Ding!
[Detected that the Dragon Barbarians have dispatched 1,000 elite troops to raid the camp. Host, do you wish to follow in Cao Cao's footsteps, or immediately engage in battle?]
[1. Choose to engage in battle immediately; the reward is the removal of all negative status effects.]
[2. Choose to ignore it, reward 300 elite guards of the enemy.]
[3. If you choose to let Zhao Xier go out and command the battle, the host will continue to lie down. The reward is that your cultivation level will be increased to the eighth rank. The negative status cannot be removed for the time being.]
A system notification sounded in my mind.
Chen Futu did not respond.
[Since the host did not make a choice in time, the system will select randomly. Countdown: 10, 9...]
Just as the system counted down to one, Chen Futu reluctantly made his choice.
"Choose one! Damn it, Long Jie, you ruined my plans, you just wait!"
[Host selection time has ended; system will randomly select two.]
Three hundred of Po Lu's personal guards arrived at the military camp.
Chen Futu was ultimately a step too late; his negative state had not been eliminated.
"Forget it, three hundred Po Lu guards are more than enough. Let's continue."
Chen Futu was very magnanimous. Ignoring Zhao Xier's shame and anger, he held her and continued what he hadn't finished.
The war did not end with the arrival of Po Lu's personal guards.
Although they managed to hold off the elite Longman attack, Long Jie on the main battlefield discovered that the Northern Frontier camp was in chaos. He immediately launched a general offensive while Ma Chao and the others were in a state of panic, determined to capture Chen Futu and Zhao Xier alive. As long as the two were captured, Long Nie could naturally return.
The war came suddenly, beyond everyone's expectations, even Chen Futu hadn't anticipated it.
Ma Chao and Cao Zhen immediately led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in a charge, and a great battle broke out.
Qin Liangyu and Dian Wei led the remaining White Spear Soldiers back to the camp. When they returned, they found the camp littered with corpses. The thousand elite troops sent by Longman to launch a sneak attack had been almost entirely wiped out, while the Thirteen Guards and Consort Ge were protecting the commander's tent.
Dian Wei shouted, "Where is our lord?!"
Consort Ge pointed to the tents, then shook her head with a wry smile.
The Crown Prince is perfect in every way, but unfortunately, he is sometimes hard to explain, especially at this critical moment, when he still hangs out with Zhao Xier.
The prince is, after all, a young man. He has just finished fighting with his relatives and is full of anger and rage. It is not difficult to understand why he needs a woman to vent his murderous intent. Moreover, generals who have gone to war usually need a woman to calm them down after returning from a campaign.
Qin Liangyu glanced helplessly at the tent and noticed that Luo Wushuang, who had just woken up, was even fighting while heavily injured.
Qin Liangyu didn't say much. She immediately ordered the Po Lu personal guards and the White Spear soldiers to reunite, and then transferred the lightly wounded soldiers from the wounded soldiers' camp to assemble.
She had just finished integrating the army when the Longman army arrived.
Qin Liangyu and others built a defensive line and fought desperately, causing a great fire to break out in the entire camp.
Even the most severely wounded soldiers dragged themselves out to fight.
The battle was indescribably tragic.
When Chen Futu and Zhao Xier walked out of the tent, they saw fires all around and corpses everywhere.
"My lord, run!"
Dian Wei, covered in mangled flesh, shouted and then led his horse to the two men.
Chen Futu was still weak and had exhausted himself on Zhao Xier, so he had difficulty mounting his horse and was only able to be lifted onto it by Dian Wei.
Qin Liangyu disregarded the White-Spear Soldiers fighting to the death, and together with Dian Wei, the commander of Western Zhao, Consort Ge, and thirteen personal guards, they fought their way out of the encirclement.
Looking at the camp engulfed in smoke and the nearly wiped-out White Spear Soldiers, Chen Futu felt waves of regret.
"Men who can't control what's in their pants always end up in a terrible situation. Mr. Cao, I never thought I'd end up like you one day..."
Chen Futu sighed deeply.
As he pondered, Ma Chao and Cao Zhen returned from afar.
The remnants of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry numbered five thousand, while the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were almost completely wiped out, with only a hundred riders remaining.
The two were covered in blood and were almost unrecognizable.
They looked at each other in silence.
This is the first defeat since the Crown Prince took over the northern frontier.
Everyone felt heavy-hearted.
"Report——"
Suddenly, a scout arrived with news: "Your Highness! The Longman have beheaded our soldiers and built a mound of heads!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Chao and the others were furious.
Cao Zhen and Dian Wei were so angry they wanted to grind their teeth to powder. "Damn it, let's fight that old scoundrel to the death!"
Chen Futu silently went up to a high place to look around.
Near the camp, many headless corpses were discarded, and countless heads were piled up together, gray and grimy.
Those were the heads of the White-Clad Soldiers, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and the Polu Personal Guards.
Long Jie stood on his horse under the canopy, waving in this direction.
Chen Futu couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could guess how smug he was.
"Dragon Barbarians, I swear I will not be human if I do not destroy your kingdom!"
Chen Futu clenched his fists tightly, his shame and humiliation fueling his extreme anger.
Ding!
[The system has detected regret in the host and indicates a change in mindset. Please make a choice.]
[1. Choose to eliminate the root of the problem and never get involved with women again; the reward is a full complement of troops to your unit.]
[2. Choose to raise your own troops to fight against the Dragon Barbarians; the reward is that your cultivation level will be raised to the eighth rank.]
[3. Choose to kill Long Nie as revenge, then gather a large army to fight the Long Barbarians to the death. Reward: One Breakthrough Pill]
