Chapter 136: Joining Forces to Strike the Great Chu Army Together
Thud!
"What is going on?"
The crowd was greatly alarmed.
After reacting, they discovered it was actually an arrow.
What they could not fathom, however, was where this arrow had come from.
"Great King, there is something on the arrow!"
"Oh?"
The Right Wise King hurriedly pulled out the arrow and discovered that a letter was tied to it.
After removing the letter, the handwriting on it was revealed.
"I have heard that the Great King's situation with the Great Chu army is not very good; the Great Chu army often uses the Great King's subordinates as expendable material. Chu Feng feels very sorrowful for Great Wei upon hearing this."
"Now that I have led my troops to attack Great Chu, Chu Feng does not wish to meet the Great King on the battlefield. If the Great King can let go of past grievances and surrender to my forces, Chu Feng is willing to treat you with courtesy and guarantees on his honor to preserve the Great King's tribes. I hope the Great King will think it over carefully."
"If the Great King does not agree, we can only meet on the battlefield!"
The reading was finished.
The Right Wise King felt very hesitant inside.
This was indeed a massive gamble.
Without being certain of either side, it was death either way.
It was just a matter of seeing which death would be more dignified.
After thinking it over repeatedly.
The Right Wise King finally made his choice.
"Everyone, please follow me!"
The crowd looked at each other in dismay, and Halitu asked, "Great King, what is this?"
"We are going to surrender!" the Right Wise King said without hesitation.
"Wha... what?"
The crowd was shocked.
They had not expected that their Great King would ultimately choose to surrender to the Anwu Army.
"I know you are all very surprised by this, but I choose to trust this Champion Marquis of Great Wei. Even if I end up dying by his hand, it is better than continuing to suffer the humiliation of the Great Chu army here!"
"We swear to follow the Great King to the death!"
The crowd knelt on one knee in unison.
Since their Great King had made such a choice, they were also willing to follow their Great King to the end.
Even if it meant death, they would have to die before their Great King.
"Sigh, I wonder if the tribes can be preserved!"
The Zuo Xian sighed and looked up at the sky, "It all depends on whether the heavens are willing to give us a chance!"
The scene shifted.
Chu Feng was still leading his troops in constant fierce fighting.
He had broken through multiple defensive lines of the Great Chu army in succession.
Finally, he arrived in front of the Xiongnu army.
At this very moment.
The Xiongnu army ahead was drawn up in battle array, and every soldier was prepared for combat.
The only difference, however, was that these Xiongnu soldiers did not immediately launch a charge against the Anwu Army.
Instead, they waited quietly for their Great King's command.
"I wonder which hero is the Champion Marquis?"
"I am!"
Chu Feng rode his horse out of his own formation, "May I ask how to address you, Excellency?"
"I am Tulutuo, the Right Wise King of the Xiongnu!"
"So it is the Right Wise King, a pleasure to meet you!"
Chu Feng cupped his hands in a salute, "I presume the Great King has already received my letter. I wonder how the Great King has considered it? Will you surrender to my Anwu Army or fight a desperate battle against my Anwu Army?"
The Right Wise King pondered for a moment: "May I ask the Champion Marquis, after we surrender, will we belong to Great Wei or to the Champion Marquis's command?"
"Heh, is there a difference?"
"Of course!"
The Right Wise King continued, "We Xiongnu also admire heroes. We deeply admire your battle record, Excellency. If not for the conflict between our tribes, I would be willing to drink and chat with the Champion Marquis.
However, as a Great King, I must consider my tribes. If we surrender to Great Wei, we are willing to fight to the death; if we surrender to the Anwu Army, we are willing to cooperate with the Anwu Army and strike the Great Chu army together!"
Well now!
This Right Wise King really knew how to handle things.
If they belonged to the Anwu Army, then Great Wei would have no grounds to blame them.
If they surrendered to Great Wei, there would certainly be many people coming to settle scores with them later.
After thinking it over repeatedly.
At present, his own troops could not be replenished with a large number of combat soldiers in the short term.
If he absorbed this Xiongnu unit.
Then the Anwu Army would be able to restore its combat strength in a short time.
Moreover, this was an excellent cavalry unit that could be thrown directly into battle without needing training.
"I, Chu Feng, hereby take an oath: if the Great King surrenders, he shall be incorporated into my Anwu Army combat sequence, all past grievances shall be wiped clean, and no one shall be able to hold you accountable for your past faults!"
"In that case, we are willing to surrender to the Champion Marquis!"
The Right Wise King was the first to dismount and kneel before Chu Feng, "Tulutuo pays respects to the Champion Marquis!"
"Great King, please rise!"
Chu Feng pulled the Right Wise King to his feet, "Even if the Great King surrenders, I still ask that you continue to lead your subordinates and join me in crushing the Chu Army!"
"I shall strictly obey the orders of the Champion Marquis!"
The two sides merged their forces into one.
At present, the Xiongnu still had an army of 140,000.
After combining with the troops led by Chu Feng, the number soared rapidly to 200,000.
With an army of 200,000 in his hands, Chu Feng's confidence surged instantly.
If he had previously felt hesitant about annihilating the 600,000-strong Chu Army, he now had 200,000 troops under his command.
Coupled with the remaining troops inside Daizhou City, he had absolute confidence in annihilating the 600,000-strong Chu Army.
"Brothers, let's charge!"
"Lads of the tribe, follow the Champion Marquis and charge! Slaughter these overbearing Chu scum!"
Hearing the words of the Right Wise King, the Xiongnu soldiers were all as if injected with chicken blood.
Compared to the people of Wei, they hated the people of Chu even more.
They had chosen to defect to Great Chu in order to survive.
And the result?
These Chu masters did not treat them like human beings at all.
After taking over the Yushan Fortress they had captured, they handed all the dirty and tiring work to them.
In battle, they were the ones charging at the front, while the Chu Army watched the spectacle from behind.
In the siege of Daizhou City over these past few days, they, the Xiongnu, had sacrificed the lives of tens of thousands.
Just as they were about to break through, these Chu soldiers jumped out to claim the credit and left them aside.
Finally, they were even ordered to fight to the death against the formidable Anwu Army.
It was truly the height of being overbearing.
Now that their Great King had turned against them to join the Anwu Army, and had even received a guarantee from the Champion Marquis.
From now on, they would be the Anwu Army under the Champion Marquis.
With the addition of over 100,000 Xiongnu soldiers, the combat power of the Anwu Army became even more ferocious.
The entire advance was a complete sweep.
There was simply no Chu Army unit that could withstand their edge.
"Report!"
"Report to the General, something terrible has happened! The Xiongnu Right Wise King has turned against us and defected to the Anwu Army!"
"What?"
Ren Tianxing was greatly shocked.
This matter was truly a situation he had not foreseen.
This fellow, the Right Wise King, had actually defected to the Anwu Army that had destroyed their Xiongnu Wang Ting.
In his plan.
The Xiongnu and the Anwu Army of Great Wei had a blood feud, which was why he had let the Right Wise King lead troops to resist the Anwu Army.
He had intended to watch them fight each other to the death, staging a spectacular show of dogs biting dogs.
Who would have thought that both sides would set aside their hatred and point their spears at them instead.
"Damn it, that spineless Right Wise King..."
Just at this moment.
A massive commotion erupted instantly in his vicinity.
"What happened?"
"General, it's bad, the Anwu Army..."
Whoosh!
Before this soldier could finish his sentence.
A sharp arrow had already pierced his body, and he died on the spot.
Looking ahead.
A youth covered in blood was seen charging straight toward his main camp, holding a great spear.
"Ren Tianxing, prepare to die!"
Chu Feng took the lead and charged straight at Ren Tianxing.
Ren Tianxing was terrified, his entire being completely intimidated by Chu Feng's momentum.
He wanted to raise his weapon to resist.
But in the span of a single breath, Chu Feng had already reached him.
Clang!
"Ah!"
In just one exchange.
Ren Tianxing, a Martial Venerable Great Perfection, died under Chu Feng's spear.
Immediately after, Chu Feng swept his spear, and everyone else in the tent died one after another.
All personnel became the Killing Points in his hands.
"The Champion Marquis is truly invincible under heaven; Tulutuo is impressed!"
In just a single encounter, he finished off Ren Tianxing, an expert at the Martial Venerable Great Perfection.
The Right Wise King felt more and more that he had followed the right person.
"Right Wise King, you continue to lead the troops in the charge; I will go and take care of their Great General!"
"As you command!"
The Right Wise King immediately walked out of the command tent to lead his subordinates in continuing to slaughter the lives of the Chu Army.
The Anwu Army also joined this battle.
The high-level combat power of the Chu Army had already been mostly dealt with by Chu Feng.
The only ones left were the ordinary soldiers.
"Ah!"
Lu Tianzong let out another miserable scream.
A mouthful of fresh blood instantly burst from his mouth.
At this moment, he had reached the limit of his body, and he could barely even hold onto the blade in his hand.
"You old scoundrel, you are simply a madman!"
"A madman? Hmph, even if I die, I will drag you down to be my cushion!"
"Heh, you don't know what you're talking about!"
Murong Hao attacked again.
Lu Tianzong forced himself to rally his spirits to fight him.
In less than three rounds, the long blade in Lu Tianzong's hand was knocked flying by Murong Hao.
"Oh no!"
Lu Tianzong's center was wide open, and his entire body was exposed within Murong Hao's attack range.
"Lu Tianzong, prepare to meet your end!"
"Sigh, I did my best..."
Lu Tianzong really could not hold on any longer this time.
This was all the time he could buy for Chu Feng and the others.
Just as Murong Hao prepared to behead Lu Tianzong with a single strike.
A young man had already killed his way to his immediate front.
