Mao Tuan always wants to attack me

Xiao Yuntian snorted.Somehow, the words "return to Syracuse alive" sound very heavy.But Bai Shuyu is indeed right, exhausting himself to death before taking back the imperial capital is really a stupid act to make the enemy applaud.

"Sorry Your Majesty, I won't do that again. Snoring..."

"Keep your daily practice time within three hours. I will let Yanqiu Shanggong supervise you." Seeing Mao Tuan looking at himself with big watery eyes, sitting and standing with his front paws on his short legs, With a cute face obediently admitting his mistake, Bai Shuyu's heart twitched.

He resisted the idea of ​​stepping forward to rub this obedient hairball, turned around and walked out. "I still have important matters to discuss with General Mo, you can have lunch quickly."

Xiao Yun fixedly watched the emperor's back disappear at the door of the house.In the past few days, he has been immersing himself in practicing the Soul Containing Art, and he has never left his room, nor has he communicated with anyone.Seeing Bai Shuyu today, Fang felt that he was a little thinner than before.The pressure in the emperor's heart must have been very heavy. At this critical juncture, Xiao Yuntian didn't want to add more burden to him.

Yanqiu walked in from outside the house, and saw that the hairball had regained its vitality and was crawling around under the blanket, its round body made a big bulge on the blanket.

She breathed a sigh of relief, took out the bowls and dishes in the food box, and said with a smile: "Xiantuan, you really scared me. I thought something happened to you..." As she spoke, she was depressed down.

"Hey, the current situation is not the same as when we were in the palace, and the fairy group has its own things to do."

Yanqiu knew very little about the seal of the imperial beast, but from the few words revealed by the Dashang Palace and the importance attached to Maotuan by the whole of the Mo family, she also guessed that the fairy regiment had a very important task under the emperor's command.This cute furball is no longer the pet that only used to play carefree with the emperor.There are more important missions waiting for it.

What is that "mission"?Yanqiu didn't know it herself, but thinking of the various abilities that the fairy group had shown in the past, she believed that the emperor must have entrusted it with a very important commission.The fairy group is very powerful, it is smarter than a human being like itself, and even saved its own life!

"The fairy group must not be overworked, and must listen to the emperor's words carefully."

Xiao Yuntian lay lazily on the bed.He practiced hard these days, and his spirit was quite exhausted. If Bai Shuyu hadn't arrived in time just now, he might have died just now.Right now, even though Bai Shuyu has injected a certain amount of spiritual energy for replenishment, he is still so sleepy that he reluctantly opened his mouth to let Yanqiu pass in the food.

Yanqiu was feeding Maotuan, and said to himself: "...It is said that Mocheng will soon be under martial law, and the army from the Demon Kingdom of the Northern Territory will help Bai Qiming to besiege here. Alas I hope that General Mo's team can keep Mo City..."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuntian also turned his eyes and looked at the sky outside the window of the house.It was cloudy over there.The city of Mexico has not seen sunshine for many days.

He sighed softly.

It's going to change.

"Report-"

"Say."

"Your Majesty, the three fortresses on the southern border were quickly breached. The enemy army was found [-] miles away from Mocheng. The person who came was the general of the Demon Kingdom of the Northern Territory, Feng Wuyang!"

"Heh." Hearing that name, Bai Shuyu sneered, "Bai Qiming actually chose to join forces with Feng Wuyang. How many people did he bring?"

The communication officer who came to report paused, "Back to the emperor...Feng Wuyang led 50 troops, of which 20 were the fine cavalry troops from the Demon Kingdom of the Northern Territory, and 20 were German...Bai Qiming's armored troops, and there are [-] more It's Rongde cavalry!"

"Five! Ten! Ten thousand!"

Mo Chengwei next to him roared and jumped up from his seat, startling the communication officer.

"And, and..."

The communications officer wanted to report again, but seeing General Mo's angry appearance was a little frightened, so he hesitated for a while and dared not speak.Bai Shuyu gave him an approving look, so the communications officer continued: "This is just the vanguard that is leading the battle. There will be 30 troops approaching later, responsible for supporting and supplying the vanguard."

General Mo knew he had lost his composure, but he didn't have the heart to think about other things at the moment, and the cold sweat was already dripping down his forehead.He turned to Bai Shuyu: "The situation is not good. The last general only mobilized 25 troops in Mocheng, which is only half of the vanguard troops. What's more, Bai Qiming's armored troops also came here this time. They have obviously done enough to attack the city. preparation."

The generals gathered at the side also broke out in cold sweat when they heard the news that the enemy army was pressing down on the border.Although they had been psychologically prepared before, the number and speed of the visitors really exceeded their expectations.This tiger-like enemy army approached the city in a blink of an eye. Although the generals did not express it clearly, they couldn't help exchanging anxious glances.

At this time, an older guard in the city suggested: "Your Majesty, Mocheng is the fortress of the north and south of the Bai Kingdom. There are not enough soldiers and horses here. It is better to send troops to escort the emperor to Zhao. Marshal Yi’s garrison, other troops stayed in Mocheng to delay the time. The rear area where Marshal Zhao Yi is stationed is much safer than Mocheng, we must at least keep other territories in the south.”

There are many mountains and rivers around Mocheng, and there are many mountains and rivers between it and other cities in the south, so the transportation is not very convenient.At the beginning, Bai Shuyu did not continue to go south after he was stationed in Mocheng, in order to plan a large-scale offensive and defensive battle in Mocheng, preparing to find an opportunity to counterattack and return to the north.No, this Bai Qiming was extremely decisive in doing things, and directly drove all his best troops outside Mo City, preparing to wipe out Bai Shuyu and others in one go.

"It should be too late to transfer now. Your Majesty, the General will escort you out of the city immediately."

Mo Chengwei grew up in Mocheng, and he has a very good understanding of the internal structure and surrounding terrain of Mocheng.He suggested to Bai Shuyu: "Your Majesty, Mocheng is surrounded by high mountains, and it is not easy to reach the rear support, but in the same way, it is not easy for outside troops to attack. The general will resist here for a while, but after all, it will not last long." It's better to save your strength first, and wait for the emperor to counterattack in the future..."

"Mo Chengwei."

Bai Shuyu said lightly: "I understand what you mean. It is not difficult to evacuate from Mo City to the rear, and it can preserve the strength of the army to the maximum extent. However, once Mo City falls, all the horses retreat behind the mountains, then Although I didn't have to worry about my life at that time, I also lost my last chance to counterattack Syracuse. Doing so would undoubtedly lead to the worst result...that is, I couldn't return to the north, and Bai Qiming couldn't attack the south. The country is divided into two!"

Mo Chengwei frowned: "Your majesty, you will understand the truth of what you said. Before you stayed in Mocheng, you saw the opportunity to counterattack the capital. But now, the enemy is mobilizing troops faster than Mocheng. Moreover, the attack is ferocious, with twice as many troops as ours. I am sorry to say that the chances of winning this battle are not high."

"So, this is a gamble." Bai Shuyu said softly, "The last chance to fight back... If I miss it, if the fortress of Mo City falls, I am afraid that I will never have the chance to take control of Xue City."

Mo Chengwei looked at Bai Shuyu fixedly.After a long while, General Mo turned around and said to the officers around them who were holding their breath and waiting for the decision: "The whole city is on alert, and we will fight the enemy with all our strength!"

"emperor……"

Some officers wanted to speak again, but Mo Chengwei interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Go down and set up a defensive line." He paused, and added, "Although there is a huge difference in the strength of the enemy and us, the situation in Mo City is still mine, Mo Chengwei." I know best. There are many mountains and rivers near Mocheng, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are multiple traps inside the city to prepare for emergencies. No matter how many opponents there are, it is almost impossible to take down Mocheng in one go."

He turned to Bai Shuyu, "Your Majesty, now that we have decided to stick to Mo City, we should also ask for support from Marshal Zhao Yi at the rear while the soldiers are fighting. The interior space of Mo City is limited, and the supply of food, grass and personnel has to be relied on." Marshal Zhao supported it."

Bai Shuyu nodded, called the herald and ordered him to contact Zhao Yi, asking Marshal Zhao to immediately set up a support line from the south to fully support Mocheng.

The emperor's firmness also gave Mo Chengwei great confidence.He solemnly issued an order to his generals: "If we retreat today, even if we return to the south safely, we will only be able to survive for a while, and we will eventually face being swallowed by the growing Bai Qiming forces." Why not take a big gamble, and if you win the gamble, the soldiers will return to the north one day!"

His emotions became agitated, and he appealed to the generals who obeyed his orders: "This battle can only be won, not lost! This is a protracted war, as long as Mocheng's defense line lasts until the day when the support line is built, With the continuous supply from the rear and the control of the fortress, we have the opportunity to counterattack the north! Returning to Syracuse is only a matter of time!"

Although his reasoning was rough, it also gave the generals hope.People were still hesitant about the emperor's decision just now, worried that they would be surrounded and wiped out by the huge enemy army, but after General Mo's passionate encouragement, they also got a glimmer of hope from the situation.

Although the emperor's idea is bold, it is not unreasonable and reckless.At least, there is nothing wrong with sticking to Mocheng—if you want to return to Xuecheng, Mocheng must not give up!

The enemy's sudden 50 army had shocked many generals in Mocheng to the point of dizziness and fear, but now that the emperor's decision was mentioned, they all came back to their senses.

"Defend the emperor, defend Mocheng!"

"Defend the emperor, defend Mocheng!"

Hearing the loud shouts in his ears, Bai Shuyu's heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.There is a huge disparity between the enemy and ourselves, and this defensive battle is undoubtedly a gamble.

And the strongest hole in his hand does not lie in these guards, nor even in himself.

"Snoring..."

Shocking shouts came from a distance, waking Xiao Yuntian up from his sleep.He turned over in the bed, opened his eyes and saw the dark clouds rolling outside the window, and occasional thunderstorms.I was startled, my internal organs were in turmoil for a while, and a feeling of panic suddenly hit my heart.

In the dark, it seems that something is calling him.

The hairball rolled restlessly on the bed a few times.In the end, it kicked off the quilt, turned over and got out of bed, and quickly rolled towards the door.
