Chapter 81: Dispatching Troops for a Crusade

The next day.

The drill ground.

A strong wind blew, and the battle flags fluttered.

Over ten thousand soldiers were assembled here, their expressions emotionless and solemn.

They stood rooted to the spot like upright pine trees.

It was not until Chu Feng appeared that these soldiers showed any reaction.

Their eyes were uniform and bright like torches, fixed tightly on Chu Feng upon the general-command platform.

"Soldiers!"

"I trust everyone already knows what you have been gathered here for today!"

"That's right, today we are going to have a showdown with our old rivals, the Turkic!"

"This showdown will not rely on city defenses, but will be a head-on, hard-hitting offensive."

"The Turkic have always believed their horsemanship is invincible under heaven, mocking us Great Wei soldiers for not daring to engage them head-on!"

"Soldiers, do you accept this?"

"We do not!"

"We do not!"

"We do not!"

"Good, you have guts! You are worthy of being my, Chu Feng's, soldiers, worthy of being the fine men of our Great Wei!"

Chu Feng continued, "Today I will lead you all straight into their heartland to slaughter the Turkic and reclaim our ancestral lands!"

"Slaughter the Turkic, reclaim our ancestral lands!"

"Slaughter the Turkic, reclaim our ancestral lands!"

"Slaughter the Turkic, reclaim our ancestral lands!"

"Bring out Wu Ha!"

Several soldiers escorted Wu Ha, whose cultivation had been crippled, straight toward the drill ground.

"Let me go, quickly let me go, you Wei dogs! My father will absolutely not let you off!"

Even as a prisoner, Wu Ha still maintained the attitude of a Prince.

It was just a pity that this was not the Turkic Wuji Tribe, and absolutely no one cared about him.

They brought Wu Ha to the drill ground.

Wu Ha finally saw Chu Feng once again.

This Great Wei general who had captured him alive.

"Prince Wu Ha, we meet again!"

Gulp!

Wu Ha swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

The incomparably arrogant expression from just a moment ago vanished in an instant.

He dared to flaunt his prestige in front of others.

But facing Chu Feng, he could not muster a shred of courage.

After all, this harmless-looking face had achieved some truly remarkable battle records.

"General Chu, General Chu, I beg you to spare me, spare me!"

Wu Ha hurriedly kowtowed to Chu Feng, "As long as you let me go back, from now on you will be a friend of our Turkic."

"We will return all your lands and guarantee that we will never be enemies with Great Wei again."

"I beg you, just give me this chance!"

Wu Ha's words did not elicit much of a reaction from Chu Feng.

However, the few people behind Chu Feng sneered incessantly.

Let you go back so you can return all our lands and guarantee you won't be enemies with Great Wei again?

What a joke!

Just based on you, this powerless and fallen Prince?

"Fine, I agree to your request!"

"Hm?"

What is going on?

Wu Ha was stunned for a moment.

He couldn't help but wonder if he had misheard.

"Gen... General, are... are you really willing to let me go back?"

Chu Feng revealed a meaningful smile: "Of course, our Great Wei keeps its word most of all; since I promised to let you go back, I will let you go back."

Wu Ha was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed to Chu Feng to express his gratitude: "Many thanks, General, many thanks, General! Wu Ha will never forget the General's great kindness; you will forever be the most honored guest of our Turkic Wuji Tribe!"

Hmph!

Let you be smug for a while.

Once I return to the Turkic, I will immediately have my father bring troops to come and crusade against you.

When that time comes, all the men will be sliced to death, and all the women will be turned into whores.

Just as Wu Ha was rejoicing, Chu Feng followed up with another statement.

"Men, send Wu Ha on his way!"

As soon as the words fell.

Several executioners, murderous and carrying large sabers, headed straight for Wu Ha.

Without a word, they immediately pinned Wu Ha down.

"Hmm?"

"You... what are you people trying to do?"

Wu Ha was shocked and turned his head to look at Chu Feng with a confused expression, "General Chu, didn't you promise to let me go back? Why are you doing this?"

Chu Feng replied, "That's right, this General did promise to let you go back, but I never said I was letting *you* go back!"

"Then... then what are you planning to let go back?"

Chu Feng smiled slightly, "I plan to let your soul go back; after all, in our Great Wei, there is a saying: the soul returns to its homeland!"

*Puchi! *

This sentence from Chu Feng truly made many people unable to hold back.

Especially Lu Shuwan.

What a "soul returns to its homeland."

He truly arranged everything for the man clearly and thoroughly.

"You guy is really too wicked!"

Lu Shuwan muttered to herself, then changed her tone, "But I like it."

What she hated most was none other than these foreigners.

She could not support the methods he used against them any more than she already did.

"You... you... you..."

Wu Ha's face instantly turned the color of pig liver from anger.

In all his years of living.

He had never seen such a shameless person.

For a moment.

This sentence suddenly popped into his mind.

I have never seen such a thick-skinned and shameless person!

"Men, take him away."

"Behead him!"

"Sacrifice the flag!"

The executioners immediately took action.

Dragging Wu Ha, they headed straight for the guillotine.

"Chu Feng, you villain, even if I become a ghost, I won't let you off!"

"My grandfather Wu Tu is a Grandmaster-level powerhouse; as long as my grandfather takes action, he will surely slaughter you all until not a single piece of armor remains!"

"Chu Feng, I'll be waiting for you on the road to the Yellow Springs!"

*Crack! *

A splash of fresh blood instantly dyed the guillotine red.

It was unclear if it was because Wu Ha had too much blood or if he was too agitated.

In any case, the amount of bleeding was far greater than that of an average person.

After beheading Wu Ha.

Chu Feng turned around to look at Xiang Yuan, Qiu Ming, Zhu Kang, and Lu Shuwan.

"Everyone, I entrust the defense of Anwu County to you."

Xiang Yuan: "General, rest assured, as long as we live, the city stands!"

Qiu Ming: "We will shed our last drop of blood for Anwu County!"

Zhu Kang: "Old Chu, don't worry, I'll handle everything at home."

Lu Shuwan pondered for a moment, her beautiful eyes filled with reluctance.

For a moment, she suddenly wanted to go up and hug Chu Feng.

But she quickly restrained herself: "General, be careful on your journey, I... we will wait for your return!"

"Hmm, rest assured!"

After giving the instructions.

Chu Feng turned around once more.

"The army, move out!"

"Set off!"

*Hum, hum, hum, hum, hum... *

*Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom... *

The sound of horns and war drums echoed throughout the entire world.

Middle General Chu, leading the punitive expedition, wore Beast-Faced Swallowing-Head Armor and a Scarlet Wind-Following Robe draped over his back.

Astride a Flying Snow White Dragon Steed, holding a Dragon-Head Iron Awl Spear, with a Yazi Black Gold Saber hanging at his waist.

A precious bow hung at his side, looking majestic and awe-inspiring.

The man and horse walked in front, followed by the army.

Three thousand Iron Pagoda, two thousand Modao Infantry, ten thousand soldiers, and five thousand auxiliary troops.

The column marched imposingly toward the heartland of the Turkic.

This campaign was, firstly, for slaughter, and secondly, for training the troops.

He wanted to break the stalemate where Great Wei could not fight in open field battles; he wanted to defeat the nomadic cavalry in open field combat.

On the city wall.

Zhu Kang, Xiang Yuan, Qiu Ming, Lu Shuwan, and the others gazed into the distance at the departing troops.

Until the procession completely vanished from their sight.

Lu Shuwan's heart could not calm down for a long time, and her heart was filled with worry for Chu Feng.

"You must be careful!"

Lu Shuwan murmured.

On the other side.

The Turkic Wuji Tribe naturally also received intelligence that Chu Feng was leading troops on an expedition.

In an instant.

The entire Wuji Tribe was shaken to its core.
