Pick up a princess to be your wife

Outside the gate of Sima Zu's residence.

More than a hundred White Horse Army soldiers managed to hold out for so long over a single house.

The woman in the cloak looked at the dead and wounded in the courtyard, her heart heavy.

Her army, like the White Horse Army's personal guards, consisted entirely of martial arts masters.

But if the number of people on both sides is equal, she will have no chance of winning at all.

At that moment, a cloaked figure arrived at lightning speed.

"More than two thousand White Horse Army soldiers have appeared outside the city." The man spoke rapidly.

"There are reinforcements? They arrived so quickly? Wasn't the White Horse Army fighting the Green Forest Army at the Lushui River?" The woman was full of doubt.

"There are only about two thousand men. It must be that the White Horse Army wants to take advantage of the fighting between the Lushui and Qinghe Rivers to launch a surprise attack on Bohai," the man said.

"A clever scheme to mislead the public. With just over two thousand men, do they really think they can take over Bohai? The White Horse Army is being rather arrogant," the woman said.

“Gao Shenxing may not be able to stop the White Horse Army’s attack,” the man said.

As the two were talking, another cloaked figure came running over.

"Reporting to the two ministers, we have discovered Li Xingzhou's whereabouts; he is outside the city!"

Li Mu actually led the vanguard over here personally?

This was unexpected for both of them.

They originally thought that Li Mu would definitely hide in the rear and come over after Lushui and Qinghe finished fighting.

Li Mu is the ruler of a nation, leading a personal expedition. Shouldn't he be directing from the rear?

He hadn't finished fighting at the front, and he ended up in the heart of the territory himself?

That's incredibly bold.

"This has somewhat disrupted our plans, but since he's here, and there are over two thousand of him, let's keep him here. You take your men and go meet him again," the woman said.

"Ah."

……

outside the city.

Seeing that there were several hundred cavalrymen charging forward, the Green Forest Army immediately organized a defensive formation.

Gunner formations, archer formations, and cavalry formations were all neatly arranged.

However, the hundreds of White Horse soldiers who launched the charge did not take the defending troops seriously at all.

Several hundred White Horse Army guards, armed with muskets, took turns firing at the defending troops in front.

After a series of firecracker-like sounds, large numbers of the defending soldiers fell to the ground and could not get up.

Their armor was practically made of paper; it couldn't withstand the firepower of muskets at all.

Several hundred cavalrymen easily broke through the defenses and galloped towards Bohai County.

Li Mu then stopped.

The enemy is moving rapidly and will soon close the breach.

Li Mu raised his hand and waved, and the two thousand men were divided into twenty attack formations, which were then lined up neatly and eager to try.

They used to follow Zhao Cuo to the battlefield, and they were always victorious.

Some of these were veterans who had fought alongside Li Mu on the battlefield.

Now that Li Mu is the emperor, there are few opportunities left for us to charge into battle under his personal command.

Without needing to say more, everyone will give it their all.

"Brothers, let us fight the enemy together today!" Li Mu said loudly.

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

"Your Majesty, I'll lead the charge later!"

"We will definitely ensure His Majesty's safety!"

"With us here, these enemy traitors will absolutely not be able to get even a hair's breadth near His Majesty!"

……

"Cut the nonsense."

A large number of soldiers have been amassed outside the city, and more soldiers are continuously arriving from both sides.

These are all Green Forest Army soldiers. They must know how powerful the White Horse Army is, so they dare not be careless.

Back then, Li Mu personally led a thousand cavalry to break through the enemy lines. Now, the soldiers under his command are no longer the same as before. What is there to fear when facing the Green Forest Army?

Li Mu raised his rifle, ready to order a charge, but immediately stopped.

People dressed in black cloaks emerged from behind the defensive line, quickly assembled, and confronted the two thousand White Horse Army soldiers.

Li Mu slung his gun over his shoulder and spurred his horse forward.

Wearing chainmail and a red-tasseled helmet, he looked majestic and imposing.

With so many cloaked figures, Tian Du's lair is indeed in the Bohai Sea.

This battle will definitely eliminate the hidden danger of Tiandu.

"I do not execute nameless nobodies. Who goes there? State your name!" Li Mu shouted loudly.

"Tian Du, you're doomed!"

The Deathly Man stepped forward, clad in a black cloak that billowed even without wind, exuding an aura of heroic grandeur.

The Four Phases of Heavenly Crossing: Heavenly Phase, Earthly Phase, Death Phase, and Living Phase, each representing a top-tier expert at the third-grade realm.

"Was it you who entered and exited the palace back then?" Li Mu asked.

“Indeed, it is I.” Deathly Appearance replied.

Although the person's voice was very indistinct, and it was impossible to tell whether he was male or female.

However, Li Mu sensed a certain familiarity from him; it was indeed him.

Previously, Si Xiang had put on a show in front of Li Mu, catching a bullet with his bare hands, and he actually managed to pull it off.

However, Li Mu clearly noticed that the deceased was bleeding.

Therefore, the physical body of someone at the third rank is not invulnerable to swords and spears.

Since ordinary muskets cannot inflict fatal wounds on a third-grade cultivator, Li Mu wanted to know if the rifle in his hand could shatter the head of a third-grade cultivator.

Li Mu had spent all his system points on this weapon on his shoulder, intending to use it to deal with the world's top experts.

"Deathly Appearance, that's not a very auspicious name."

"Haha, I'd like to see how he dies."

"How dare you call yourself 'the One' before His Majesty? You're simply asking for trouble!"

"Your Majesty, please issue an order immediately, so that our brothers can experience their strength firsthand and see why they dare to rebel!"

……

"Shut up, all of you! Do you think you can teach me how to do things on the battlefield?"

Li Mu gave a reprimand, and everyone obediently shut up.

Li Mu, carrying his gun, took a few more steps forward, now only a hundred paces away from death.

"I've heard that third-rank experts in this world can enter the army formation as if walking in a garden, and are difficult for even ghosts and gods to withstand. Today, I would like to see if a third-rank martial artist can cut through my two thousand White Horse Army."

The dead man is observing the situation.

He discovered that among the two thousand men, only Li Mu was equipped with a musket, while the rest were all armed with cold weapons.

This made things much easier for him.

He had experienced the power of firearms firsthand; they were truly formidable.

Otherwise, a mere hundred White Horse Army soldiers in the city wouldn't have been able to hold out for a whole night.

Since only Li Mu has firearms, he can fight the other side without restraint.

Perfect, let him see what it means to enter the army formation with ease at the third rank, and fulfill his request.

If we can capture Li Mu alive, that would be a great achievement.

Then there's no need to continue the war; they can declare victory immediately.

"Since you've spoken, then I will grant your wish!"

Deathly Face raised his cloak, revealing a large, rough hand, ready to wave and give the order to attack.

At that moment, the rifle on Li Mu's shoulder was suddenly pointed at Si Xiang.

"I'd love to see you perform again, catching a bullet with your bare hands. Would you like to give it a try?"

As Li Mu spoke, he held his gun in both hands, already aiming at the dead man less than a hundred paces away.
