Chapter 58
Chapter 58
Oh god! The Xia Kingdom has struck back again!
This counterattack was so sudden and unexpected, it caught everyone off guard!
Its clearly an act of vengeance, retaliation for the three nations driving away the refugees!
Truly a foolish emperor indeed, not making a move would have been better, but once he did, he managed to offend everyone, unmatched on the path of making enemies!
The three nations are enraged. This time, the Xia Kingdom is really finished!
As expected by everyone, the alliance of the three kingdoms, An, Shang, and Peng monarchs, was extremely furious.
Although the Mo Kingdom had lost its value, and the troops stationed across the Mo Kingdom were not numerous, each country had tens of thousands of soldiers. Now, they had been annihilated as easily as chopping melons and slicing vegetableswho wouldnt be angry?
Consequently, they each dispatched their armies.
Each country sent out 200,000 troops, amounting to a total of 600,000 soldiers, converging on the Mo Kingdom from three sides. Among them, the An and Shang squeezed in from the border of the Xia Kingdom, cutting off their retreat from Mo Kingdom.
Chai Yuxin, however, had only 100,000 troops, and with her retreat route severed, the situation was extremely perilous.
Within a city of the Mo Kingdom, Chai Yuxin had just led her army of 100,000 to annihilate the foreign soldiers in the city. Her body was drenched in blood, her murderous aura was soaring, and a fierce and deadly presence was palpable.
General, what should we do now? a commander asked.
At this moment, they were already aware that they were surrounded by the armies of the three kingdoms, eating dry rations and resting on the spot.
Rest well, eat and drink your fill, and prepare for the next battle! Chai Yuxin said in a deep voice.
General, shall we fight our way back the way we came? the commander asked again.
Chai Yuxin shook her head: No! Im afraid the An Kingdom and Shang Kingdom have already cut off our retreat. Going back that way would be walking right into a trap. Therefore, we must find another way!
General, however you say we should fight, thats how well fight!
General, well follow your lead!
The crowd responded in unison.
During this period, Chai Yuxin had led her troops into battle, always at the forefront, brave and fearless, and had established tremendous prestige.
Good! Everyone, be at ease, I will take you all back soon! Chai Yuxin said loudly.
Yet, a trace of worry flickered in her eyes.
She possessed innate strength and was certainly capable of breaking through and escaping, but the same could not be said for her soldiers.
However, as a commander, she had the responsibility to bring her troops back, no matter what.
After having their fill of food and drink, they set off once more, their destination unknown.
Meanwhile, An Lushan, stationed at the border, was deeply troubled.
He was responsible for coordinating with Chai Yuxins troops, ensuring their safe return.
But with both An and Shang nations having deployed 200,000 troops each along the border, with equal military strength, how could a battle be fought?
If he failed to complete his mission, his good days would be over.
After all, Chai Yuxin was not only the daughter of the Grand General but also the childhood sweetheart of the Emperor. He would be dismissed from his position if anything went wrong, no matter how great his achievements or exceptional his abilities.
Filled with regret, he thought to himself, This battle should never have been fought; truly, it was the foolish emperor who led us to doom!
Just then, he received astonishing news: His Majesty Lin Beifan had actually arrived with an army of 200,000.
An Lushan was shocked: Your Majesty, what is this?
Lin Beifan smiled slyly and said, I have come to wage war!
An Lushan was dumbfounded: Wage war? Against whom?
Whoever bullies me, I will fight them!
Lin Beifan declared righteously, The three kingdoms alliance, An, Shang, and Peng dared to bully my soldiers. How can I tolerate such an insult? Therefore, I must strike back and show them my might!
An Lushan nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
It was clear that you started by bullying others, leaving them utterly defeated, and now you have the audacity to turn the tables?
The thought process of the foolish Emperor is indeed different from that of ordinary people!
I have decided to start with the Shang Kingdom!
Lin Beifan declared with a grand gesture, General An, continue to guard our nations gate. I am off to war!
An Lushan was once again shocked, Your Majesty, when has an Emperor gone to war while the general guards the nations gate? Your dragon body is precious, and currently, you have no heir. What if something unfortunate happens
General An, theres no need to persuade me further, my mind is made up!
Lin Beifan shouted loudly, Warriors of the Xia Kingdom, the Shang Kingdom has provoked our Xia Kingdoms people. This is an outrage to both gods and men, and they shall be punished by heaven and earth! Commanders and soldiers, heed my order, follow me into the Shang Kingdom and make your mark in history!
Charge!!!
Following Lin Beifans roaring battle cry, they charged towards the Shang Kingdom.
An Lushan watched the mighty departing army with a heavy heart.
At this time, the 200,000 troops of the Shang Kingdom were drawn to the Mo Kingdom, and some forces were restrained by An Lushan, leaving the border slightly weakened. They could never have anticipated that the Xia Kingdom would lead a large army to attack.
Even less expected was that Lin Beifan himself would lead the charge.
The troops led by Lin Beifan were all elite, striking the weak with strength, outnumbering the few. They swept through the lands effortlessly.
Thus, the territories of the Shang Kingdom fell one after another.
Those who knew of the matter were greatly shocked.
Is the Xia Kingdom really sending troops to the Shang Kingdom at this time? Are they trying to encircle Wei to save Zhao?
And its the foolish emperor himself leading the expedition!
Now, facing three major nations, the Xia Kingdom is at a severe disadvantage in terms of military strength. The situation is extremely perilous! To personally lead the troops and deliver himself into enemy territory, what is he thinking? Is he seeking death?
Its far too risky and aggressive. What if something goes wrong?
He has no heirs left. If an accident occurs, the entire nation is doomed!
This foolish Emperor! Sooner or later he will bring about his own downfall!
