Chapter 209 Open the city to meet the enemy!

The last time Mu Lingshuang led his army to attack Cuiwei City, he saw from afar that the enemy smashed the head of the Cuiwei City Lord with a hammer. Fortunately, he ran fast that time, otherwise it would have been just one more hammer blow.

Because of this, Mu Lingshuang left a deep impression on him, and he had nightmares for half a month after returning to Beijing.

Every time I dreamed of Mu Lingshuang coming to me and raising a hammer, I woke up in fright.

This time he came because Mu Lingshuang was not in Yuncheng. If he had known that General Mu had already arrived in Yuncheng, he would never have brought people to launch a sneak attack even if he was beaten to death.

But what to do now? Retreating directly is definitely not an option. Not to mention the low morale that would result, the Queen would not let him go if he returned in such disgrace.

But if he attacked, with Mu Lingshuang around, he always felt that his chances of winning were slim.

Messi looked at General Jia, who was standing a little further to his left. He noticed something was wrong with him and asked with concern:

"What happened, young general?"

Jia Zhengjing's words also attracted Hui Shoutao's attention, and in the darkness, two pairs of eyes fell on Mei Xiwang.

"Uncle Jia, Uncle Hui, have you seen the people on the city wall?"

Jia Zhengjing and Hui Shoutao frowned slightly, looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a figure leaning against the city wall.

But they had never seen Mu Lingshuang before, and didn't know it was her. When they were puzzled, Mei Xiwang sighed and said quietly:

"If I'm not mistaken, that person is Mu Lingshuang who should be on the road."

After hearing the three words "Mu Lingshuang", even the two generals Jia Zhengjing and Hui Shoutao could no longer remain calm.

"What? Mu Lingshuang?"

"Did you read that correctly?"

They both frowned and asked at the same time, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Perhaps influenced by this atmosphere, Messi once again recalled Mu Lingshuang's feat of smashing the head of Cuiwei City Lord with one hammer and burying him on the spot with two hammers.

He tried hard to pretend to be calm, but in fact he spoke incoherently:

"I could recognize her even if she turned into ashes."

Jia Zhengjing replied to Shoutao: "..."

Is this kid frightened? Why is he talking so incoherently?

However, when they learned that the person opposite them was Mu Lingshuang, they felt no more relieved than Messi.

According to the information they received, the vanguard army led by Mu Lingshuang should be one day's journey away from Yuncheng. How come Mu Lingshuang has already appeared in Yuncheng at this time?

Could it be that the Qi army had been prepared for this, or was it just bluffing?

In this case, it would be difficult to attack the city directly.

If the Qi army had really been prepared, it would not be a wise move for them to attack the city at this moment.

But if the other party was just bluffing, they would have lost a great opportunity for a night attack if they left.

While a few people were discussing in a low voice, the soldiers behind them were a little panicked as they didn't know what was going on.

Hearing the commotion coming from behind them, the expressions of several people became more serious.

Mu Lingshuang appeared here, so she definitely didn't come alone.

There were already 30,000 defenders in Yuncheng before. Even if Mu Lingshuang only brought 20,000 people, it was still unknown who would win the battle.

After all, for the famous General Mu, it is not uncommon to defeat a larger force with a smaller one, not to mention a battle to defend a city, even in a battle on the plains.

Yuncheng is the northern gate of Da Qi. Not to mention the strength of its city walls, the mere existence of Mu Lingshuang is enough to make people terrified.

The more they discussed, the more uneasy they became.

One hundred thousand against thirty thousand, plus a surprise attack when the enemy is unprepared, the chances of winning can reach more than 90%.

One hundred thousand against thirty thousand plus unknown forces plus the humanoid fighter Mu Lingshuang, the chances of winning... are almost negligible.

To be on the safe side, they decided to send someone to pass the news back to the commander's tent. They planned to observe carefully and wait for an opportunity to act.

Little did they know that it was precisely because of their cowardice that they indirectly lost a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In their view, whether they decided not to attack the city for the time being or to send someone back to deliver the message, it was all for the sake of safety.

Even if we cannot attack Yuncheng at night, at least there will be no casualties on our side.

Unfortunately, the few people who were frightened by Mu Lingshuang's reputation did not know that attacking the city now was the moment they were closest to victory.

Because at this moment, Yuncheng no longer had the 30,000 defenders they thought it had.

Mu Lingshuang arrived in Yuncheng an hour ago. Her first order when she arrived in Yuncheng was to have the city lord of Yuncheng and the deputy general she brought with her lead 10,000 soldiers each and ambush on the side peaks of the mountains on both sides of Wanren Mountain, waiting for her orders.

The Wanren Mountain is towering into the clouds and is extremely steep. The peaks on both sides of the mountain are rocky and covered with dense vegetation. It is an excellent hiding place and extremely suitable for ambush.

Even if there are only 20,000 people, as long as they are used properly, they can annihilate tens of thousands of enemies.

However, Wanren Mountain is located in the northwest of Yuncheng and is not the only way from Mengze to Yuncheng. However, since Mu Lingshuang gave the order, he already had a foolproof plan in mind to make them pass through Wanren Mountain.

No one knew that Mu Lingshuang, who seemed to be standing on the top of the city wall in a leisurely manner, had only the 8,000 cavalrymen she had just brought with her.

Because she had arranged the remaining 10,000 defenders elsewhere.

However, with her around, Messi Wang, leading Daliang's 100,000 elite soldiers, did not dare to act rashly.

On the city wall, Mu Lingshuang looked at the Wanren Mountain in the distance. He estimated that the time was almost up, so he called the secret guard behind him and whispered a few words.

A quarter of an hour later, a blaze appeared in the southeast...

Then, as the night wind whistled past, the flags fluttered.

A large number of Qi troops also rushed out, and judging from their momentum, there were at least tens of thousands of them.

Messi was shocked when he saw this. Did the other party really have an ambush?

But they have 100,000 people on their side, and these tens of thousands of people should not be their match.

But when he thought that the opponent's head coach was Mu Lingshuang, he became unsure.

While he was hesitating, something unexpected happened...

Mu Lingshuang looked at the rioting enemy troops under the city, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile, and her eyes gradually became filled with madness and excitement.

"Pass on my order, open the city and meet the enemy!"
