Devouring Chaos

Chapter 116: The Fierce Python is Ambushed

"Well, you soldiers will withdraw from the city in a while, and our army will take over the defense of the city. For the next period of time, you just need to do the logistics work and appease the people!"

The python said lightly!

"That's General Meng's order, I will follow it!"

Afterwards, Liu Zhi welcomed the python into the city lord’s mansion for dinner!

During the dinner, Liu Zhi's face was full of enthusiasm!

"Master Liu, that's enough, let's stop drinking here!"

Mengmang said with an unhappy face, these people are obviously trying to get him drunk! Although he likes wine, he can't delay the business!

During the banquet, Mengmang found an excuse to go to the toilet. He was worried and started to investigate the city!

Quietly climb over the wall of the City Lord's Mansion and walk towards the area where people live!

While walking on the road, he clearly felt that something was wrong with Tongguan City!

The city was quiet, and he walked along the roadside into a tailor shop!

A family of three inside is meditating and practicing!

When they saw the person coming, the family of three were shocked!

"Is it General Mengmang?"

"Exactly. What happened here?"

"Hey, General, hurry up! Liu Zhi has surrendered to the King of Pingnan. A large number of the King of Pingnan's soldiers are lying in ambush in the city, waiting to trap you!"

"They also threatened us civilians that if we dare to go out on the streets, we will kill us without mercy!"

“So there’s no one to be seen in the city now!”

The python was shocked after hearing this!

"Good Liu Zhi, you actually did such a treasonous act!"

"okay, I get it!"

The python leaped up and floated away from the window!

He had to go and join up with the soldiers outside the city in time!

I can't go back to the City Lord's Mansion now. As for the left and right deputy generals, I can only leave it to fate! I hope Liu Zhi didn't notice that I left!

The ferocious python lurked all the way forward, and when it reached the city gate, it had already been closed. There were also a large number of soldiers hiding at the gate, which were obviously the army of King Pingnan!

At this moment, the sound of fireworks suddenly came from the City Lord's Mansion, followed by the sound of fighting coming from the City Lord's Mansion!

It seemed that Liu Zhi had noticed his departure and took his anger out on his two adjutants, who then resisted!

Receiving the hint from the fireworks, Mengmang saw the hidden soldiers standing up one after another, then opening the city gates and walking out!

It seems that they cannot lure the python's soldiers into the city to surround and kill them. After the plan fails, they plan to go out of the city directly and kill the enemy by surprise!

The ferocious python was lying on a roof, and when it saw King Pingnan's army rushing out directly!

While still building the tents, the python army was confused and was instantly defeated!

"Kill..."

By the time Mengmang's soldiers reacted and grabbed their weapons to fight back, they had been rushed into chaos and the sound of fighting was heard everywhere!

Mengmang saw that the city gate was wide open and there were no ambushes. Then his eyes lit up and he rushed out! He was able to save himself!

There is chaos everywhere now!

After the fierce python entered the military camp, it shouted loudly,

"These are the rebels of Prince Pingnan, kill them all!"

When the soldiers heard the python's voice, they immediately gained confidence and began to counterattack in an orderly manner, reversing the situation!

Mengmang had an army of 100,000. Although they were attacked for a while by the 20,000 troops that left the city, they were still outnumbered!

Then they took the opportunity to kill them by surprise and retreated one after another!

Because now the soldiers of the python have formed an effective defense and offense formation, if they continue to fight, they will suffer a great loss!

See the enemy is retreating!

The fierce python led the soldiers to officially launch a counterattack!

After killing a part of the enemy troops, these people retreated back to Tongguan City. The city gate had been closed, and arrows began to be shot from the top of the city. If they wanted to attack the city, now was not the most appropriate time!

"retreat!"

The python roared, blew the horn and drum, and sent out the signal to retreat!

Soon the soldiers retreated!

Then the army retreated five miles and began to build a temporary station!

Wait until the general compiles the casualties report!

The python's face turned pale after seeing this!

Our side suffered 30,000 casualties, while the other side only lost 2,000 people!

He has never fought such a cowardly fight before!

The main reason is that we didn’t know that Tongguan City had fallen into the hands of the enemy, otherwise we wouldn’t have suffered such a big loss!

"General, how do you think we should report this military situation to the court?"

"Report it truthfully!"

The python snorted coldly!

"Tell the court not to worry. I, Mengmang, will definitely take down Tongguan City, eliminate the scum King Pingnan and Liu Zhi, and pay tribute to the souls of the dead soldiers in heaven!"

"Yes!"

The messenger then hurried off to deliver the message!

The imperial court soon found out about such a big thing!

But their faces don’t look very good!

"I will tear Liu Zhi into pieces to relieve my hatred!"

Emperor Yan was furious on the throne!

"Your Majesty, calm down. Now that things have happened, we must stop the Prince of Pingnan's army at Tongguan City! Don't let them advance any further!"

"And General Mengmang is determined to retake Tongguan City, so your majesty does not need to worry too much. We must trust the general!"

After hearing this, Emperor Yan’s expression looked a little better!

Just when the court officials were discussing state affairs!

An urgent express message was sent to the hall!

"Urgent news from the border..."

"Emergency report from the border: the Tibetan Empire suddenly invaded our territory this morning, and some villages on the southern border were looted by the Tibetan Empire!"

A bolt of lightning struck the hall!

It was really a double whammy! At home, the Prince of Pingnan rebelled, and abroad, the Tubo Kingdom invaded the country, adding to the internal and external troubles!

After hearing this, the court officials were at a loss and didn't know how to deal with it!

Yan Huang's face turned black at this moment!

"Aren't there 50,000 troops stationed at the border? Let them defend the border!"

"Your Majesty, because the Tibetans attacked suddenly, our 50,000 soldiers were ambushed and half of them were killed or wounded! Now we are hiding in the border city to fight a defensive battle!"

"what?"

"What should we do..."

After the court officials realized what was happening, they were so anxious that they were running around in circles!

At this time, Guan Xiaobai stood up and said,

"I am willing to help your majesty and solve the border crisis!"

I’m surprised that someone dares to stand up and deal with the Tubo Kingdom!

The Tubo people live in the woods and have been dealing with monsters for years. They are warlike and powerful! They are almost like wild people!

"Guan Xiaobai, this matter is of great importance. Are you sure you can solve the crisis at the border?"

"Although I am not absolutely sure, I still hope to give it a try!"

See Guan Xiaobai’s determined eyes!

"Okay, I promise you, you will set out immediately with your Guan Family Army and stop the Tubo Kingdom outside the border city and prevent them from entering the interior!"

"According to the order!"

Guan Xiaobai accepted the order and took his leave!

After Guan Xiaobai packed his luggage, he set off with the Guan family army!

Of course Lu Yuewen followed too!

Once Guan Xiaobai leaves the imperial city, there will be no point for her to stay there!

Watching the huge army of soldiers leaving the imperial city!

Emperor Yan and a group of court officials stood on the top of the city wall, with hopeful looks on their faces, hoping that Guan Xiaobai would return triumphantly!
