Chapter 43 Quarrel
Huangshan City is the closest city to Tiger City. At this moment, outside Huangshan City, an army of about 100,000 people is rushing towards the direction of Tiger Gate.
"General, urgent message." A soldier in charge of communication rushed to a man wearing golden armor.
"Emergency drill?" Wen Kai furrowed his brow, a look of puzzlement on his face as he took the note handed to him by the messenger.
"What's wrong?" Wen Kai's eyebrows furrowed deeper as he read the message on the paper, and after a moment, his expression changed unpredictably.
"General, what's wrong?" Several deputy generals couldn't help but ask when they saw the gloomy expression on their commander's face.
"Look for yourselves." Wen Kai handed the slips of paper in his hand to several subordinates beside him.
"What's going on here? Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? Are we supposed to just sit back and watch the entire Hu Tiger Regiment be annihilated?" Yang Yun couldn't help but curse loudly after reading the order on the note, his face revealing a look of anger.
"Yang Yun, shut up, is this something you can say?"
Lin Kui, commander of the Royal Legion Cavalry Regiment, also gave a toast to Yang Yun, who was then toasted by Yang Yun, commander of the Royal Legion Heavy Infantry Regiment.
"Lin Ke, aren't you going to obey orders?" Yang Yun gazed at Lin Ke with a fierce expression, as if he would take drastic action at the slightest disagreement.
Lin Ke heard his partner's words, and his expression changed slightly, with a hint of anger on his face: "Yang Yun, you pig brain, when are you going to change this fiery temper? Did I say I wouldn't help?"
"Lin Kui, Yang Yun, are you two daring to disobey orders?" A general's face revealed a faint smile as he spoke in a cold tone.
"What do you mean, Mr. Wu?" Yang Yun heard the general's words and asked back with a cold smile on his face.
Summoned by Yang Yuan to General Wu, full name Wu Tian, a distant relative of the imperial family, a member of the royal clan, and the commander of the archery battalion of the Royal Army Corps.
Wu Tian glanced at Yang Yun with a hint of disdain, his face calm as he said, "I didn't mean anything, I was just reminding the general not to forget that this Tianlong Kingdom belongs to whom."
"Then according to you, we can just ignore and let them die, is that it?" Yang Yun shouted angrily.
"I didn't mean it that way." Wu Tian responded indifferently with a look that made people want to punch him.
Yang Yun was suddenly enraged and stretched out his fist to hit someone.
"Yang Yun, don't be impulsive." Lin Hui quickly hugged Yang Yun.
"That's enough!" Wen Kai shouted angrily, and the chaotic scene suddenly quieted down, showing that Wen Kai still had a high prestige in the Royal Team.
"I have made up my mind, the whole army will advance forward and must arrive at Hushan Kou by tomorrow evening."
"It's General." Yang Yun and others showed a joyful expression on their faces.
"General, think thrice." Wu Tian's people had a look of difficulty on their faces.
"Alright, let's just drop it. If His Majesty were to blame us, I, Wen Kai, will take full responsibility and won't implicate anyone else. Let's go."
Wu Tian heard that he was going to be a general, although he felt helpless in his heart, but seeing that his general's mind was already made up, he could only respond with: "Yes, General."
In front of the Tiger Mountain Valley, after four consecutive days of fierce battles, at this moment, whether it was human soldiers or beastman soldiers, both sides had already suffered extremely heavy losses. The number of Tiger Troop soldiers had dwindled from 50,000 to less than 10,000, while the beastmen's army, which originally had over 80,000 troops, now had fewer than 20,000 remaining. However, the beastmen's reinforcements arrived on the battlefield at sunset, bringing their total numbers back up to 70,000.
"General, the reinforcements of the beastmen have arrived." At this moment, in the Tiger Mountain Valley, inside Shi Hu's military camp, every face revealed a solemn expression.
"Damn it, these trashy things." Yan Menggui's face was filled with a thick killing intent, and he fiercely pounded the desk in front of him, revealing an unwilling expression.
"Ah!" Shi Hu let out a soft sigh, then his eyes, like sharp knives, swept across the four subordinates in front of him. His face was resolute as he said, "Listen to my orders."
"Yes, General." Four generals including Yan Menggui stood up in unison, each with a serious expression, waiting for the general in front of them to issue orders.
"Which one of you four is willing to lead the people of Humen in retreat?"
Yan Menggui and the other three heard the general's words, they looked at each other, from their eyes, it can be seen that none of them were willing to take on this task.
"General, I am the commander of the Light Cavalry Regiment. Currently, my troops are the most remaining, so I will stay here and defend Tiger Mountain Pass to the death." Yan Menggui said with a resolute expression.
"General, I am also willing to stay and defend the Tiger Mountain Pass with my life. Please let us fulfill our duty." The other three generals chimed in agreement.
"Enough!" Shi Hu shouted, his eyes scanning the four of them before finally saying coldly, "Lin Shu, one hour later, you will choose 100 elite soldiers to assist you in leading the Tiger Gate civilians to retreat. As long as you lead them to Huangshan City, they will be safe. I believe the Emperor's reinforcements should be on their way, and if I'm not mistaken, they should have arrived at Huangshan City by now."
The man summoned by Shi Hu was a young man of about twenty-seven or eight years old. When he heard the order to be his general, Lin Shu was stunned for a moment and wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, he was choked back by Shi Hu's next sentence.
"This is an order."
"Yes, General." Lin saluted and left the military camp with a hint of redness in his eyes.
"Alas!" Shi Hu sighed slightly as he saw his subordinate leave, "I wonder how that carefree kid and the others are doing now."
Yan Menggui heard the general's words and smiled: "General, don't worry! Even if we all die in battle, that kid won't die, he's too cunning! It's hard to imagine, giving him a thousand light cavalry, that kid can play out so many tricks, if given ten thousand, haha."
Shi Hu heard Yan Menggui praising Leng Xiao Yao so much, and with a hint of mockery on his face, he said: "What? Old Yan, are you regretting now?"
"It's regrettable." Yan Menggui was the kind of person who could pick up and put down others without hesitation, readily acknowledging his own thoughts.
"I didn't expect it either!" Shi Hu's face was filled with emotion.
"General, does this kid have some background? Why do I feel like you're being overly concerned about him?" Yan Menggui asked cautiously, because from what he had observed over the past period of time, it seemed that his general was extremely fond of and cared for this young newcomer who had been in the army camp for less than a year, to the point of being excessive, which couldn't help but raise suspicions in the mind of this old general.
Shi Hu's face wore a smile as he swept his gaze over Yan Menggui and the other two beloved generals, his face still smiling as he said, "You really want to know that badly? Just wait till you find out, don't regret it later!"
"Cut." Yan Menggui's face revealed an indifferent expression as he said, "General, I, Old Yan, have been in the military for eighteen years now. Is there still something in this world that can make me, Old Yan, afraid?"
"Then lean in closer." Shi Hu's face had a sly smile as he beckoned to Yan Menggui with his finger.
Yan Menggui hesitantly stuck out his head, and after listening to Shi Hu's words, he was stunned, with a look of shock and astonishment on his face, as if he had heard some earth-shattering news.
"General, you've killed me!" Yan Menggui cried out with a grief-stricken face to Shi Hu.
"Isn't that what you wanted to know? So I told you, Old Yan. Remember, it's a secret." Shi Hu smiled and waved his hand, saying: "The sky is already late, everyone go down and rest! Prepare for tomorrow's decisive battle."
The originally lively atmosphere immediately froze as Shi Hu spoke, and Yan Menggui also put away his joking expression, his face serious as he raised his hand to his chest and said: "Yes, General."
