Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1557: War Begins in the North of Mobei

"Everyone, enter defensive stance, quickly..."

"Guards, come with me back to the city to report to the King that the enemy has attacked..."

"Quickly, quickly, send out the cavalry and stop those people outside."

In an instant, the entire border garrison tensed up. At the command of their commander, the soldiers went out of the city gates to set up defenses.

Lu is currently practicing a set of sword techniques under the guidance of the old master.

"Good disciple, your martial arts have improved again. It seems that Chu Chen will not be difficult for you now."

After hearing this, Lu You looked at his master excitedly: "Thank you for the praise, Master, but I dare not slack off. As long as Chu Chen is alive, I cannot stop!"

"Very well, some people are born with hatred. I have high hopes for you!"

Just as the two were discussing how to deal with Chu Chen in the future, a soldier suddenly rushed in in a panic.

"Your Majesty, it's not good!"

"Don't be impatient, tell me slowly what's going on!"

"There's... there's an enemy attack, and we can even hear the sound of Chu Chen's weapon!"

Lu You's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and he turned to look at his master, True Person Liuyun: "Master, this..."

"It's alright. I've taught you that one should remain calm even if Mount Tai collapses before you. Come, let's go and see if it is indeed Chu Chen."

After saying that, Liu Yun led Lu You directly toward the city gate.

When we got to the top of the city wall, the black dots in front of us got bigger.

Liu Yun frowned: "That shouldn't be the case. Chu Chen doesn't have any weapons, right? Send a few cavalrymen to try."

After hearing this, Lu You quickly gave a wink to one of the generals beside him.

The general was in a difficult position. Almost all those he sent out never returned. Wasn't this just playing with the brothers of his soldiers? But how could they dare disobey the king's orders?

So they could only send two cavalrymen to charge toward the black dot. Soon after, two gunshots rang out, making Lu You's heart tighten.

“Master, that’s right, it must be Chu Chen. I’m very familiar with that voice.”

"Don't panic. Go back immediately and appease those wealthy ministers and officials, so they don't panic. Also, close all the city gates and don't let anyone out. I suspect we have spies among us."

Liu Yun knew that those wealthy officials and bigwigs couldn't be allowed to escape. What good would it do to win this battle if they got away?

Conquering a place is easy, but making it prosper is extremely difficult, as money is needed everywhere.

With these big players around, if things really don't go well, they can still squeeze you out. But if these people run away, you'll have to fend for yourself.

"In addition, organize all the soldiers to come out of the city to meet the enemy. The battlefield cannot be in the city. If it is not Chu Chen, we can win easily. But if it is Chu Chen, it will be a tough battle. This kid does not do things he is not sure of."

"Our spies are still in the Song Kingdom, and the alliance has not yet been formed, so we can only rely on ourselves for this battle."

After hearing Liu Yun's words, Lu Lu also began to get nervous.

"Master, could it be...?"

"No, you shouldn't do that..."

After whispering a few words in Lu You's ear, the two of them walked in different directions.

The soldiers' orders were that there was only one way: fight to the death. So, besides winning on the battlefield, there was another way: capture the leader first.

Soon after the two left, all the soldiers in the northern city rushed out of the city gates, and 40,000 soldiers formed battle formations outside the city.

As the black dot got closer, everyone could see clearly that the number of people on the other side was about 20,000, roughly half of their own.

Moreover, they had absolutely no cavalry on their side.

Seeing the opposing formation, the soldiers of Beicheng breathed a slight sigh of relief.

I thought to myself, who is this reckless person who wants to attack the north city with such a small force? Can they withstand several charges from the cavalry?

At this moment, their 5,000 cavalrymen were all veterans who had previously retreated from the battlefields of the Xiongnu.

Unless they possess the kind of super weapon that Chu Chen previously had, this battle is a foregone conclusion, and the infantry will hardly need to engage in combat.

The method of warfare remained the same as before. Liu Yun commanded from the front lines, directly dispatching envoys carrying flags and riding horses towards Chu Chen and his group.

At this moment, Chu Chen's carriage had arrived at the front of the formation, standing side by side with Gou Shengzi.

"Brother Chen, the envoy from the other side is coming over."

"An official?"

“Go ahead and ask. In this battle, you are the general, while I am just here to watch the show. Gou Shengzi, you will probably spend your life fighting on all sides.”

Gou Shengzi was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't say anything and just rode his horse forward.

However, the submachine gun on his chest was already loaded, and he was also holding a pistol, which signified an officer.

"I am the envoy of the Northern City. May I ask whose entourage is this, and what is their purpose in coming to my Northern City?"

Gou Shengzi looked at the three men in front of him, a cruel smile appearing on his lips. Then, he quickly raised his pistol and shot the soldier next to him off his horse.

Watching this scene from behind, Chu Chen thought to himself how similar it was to the envoy he had killed for the Xiongnu.

It seems that Gou Shengzi has really learned something.

Upon seeing this, the envoy on the other side immediately wanted to turn his horse around and run away. However, looking at the dark muzzle of the gun in Gou Shengzi's hand, he was stunned for a moment, unsure whether to leave or stay.

"Leave? Where do you think you're going?"

“You… In times of war, envoys are not to be killed. You killed my guards without cause. What is your crime?”

"Hahaha, screw your two-nation war, do you even qualify as a country? I'm just suppressing bandits, so what if I kill your guards?"

"Since you keep referring to yourself as an envoy, I'll let you off the hook today. Go back and tell your family to wash their necks and wait, saying that his grandfather, Chu Chen, has arrived."

After saying that, Gou Shengzi fired a shot into the air, and the envoy was so frightened that he immediately turned his horse around and charged towards the north city.

They were as if they were afraid that if they were a little late, a bullet would hit them.

Seeing that only two envoys had returned and hearing two gunshots, Liu Yun immediately pulled him aside and asked, "What's going on? Who are they?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Chu Chen... Chu Chen has arrived. He killed one of us without a word. It seems we are doomed this time..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Liu Yun's longsword severed his neck.

"All soldiers, listen to my command! Anyone who retreats in the face of battle will be executed without mercy."

"Cavalry, prepare...Charge..."
