Chapter 115 Arrival at the Battlefield of Ancheng
time flies.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
Qin Wu finally led his army to the battlefield of Southern Qi.
Ancheng.
This is now the main battlefield between the Eastern Qin army and the Southern Qi army.
With Qin Wu's arrival, the morale of the Eastern Qin soldiers, which had been somewhat low, was boosted once again.
They all knew that this Divine Martial King, despite his young age, was currently the youngest Grandmaster-level expert in Eastern Qin.
With the Divine Martial King in charge, they no longer need to hold themselves back.
Previously, the Southern Qi was affected by the intervention of a Grandmaster, although they also had a mysterious Grandmaster-level expert who intervened.
However, even their grandmaster, fighting two opponents at once, could not stop them.
Now that the Divine Martial King has brought his troops, they also have two Grandmaster-level experts.
There's no need to worry about the Grandmaster of Southern Qi attacking their soldiers.
Upon receiving the news that the Divine Martial King had entered the city, the Marquis of Zhennan immediately led his generals to greet him.
"This humble general pays his respects to the Divine Martial King."
Although the Marquis of Zhennan had never met Qin Wu in person, he had seen Qin Wu's portrait and recognized him at a glance.
"Marquis of Zhennan and his soldiers, you may dispense with the formalities."
"Lord Zhennan, send someone to arrange a resting place for the soldiers. We're going to the commander's tent."
Qin Wu said politely.
After all, this is his father-in-law, and he should be treated differently from outsiders.
Otherwise, if his little stray cat finds out, it'll cause him trouble again.
These days, his wife has been ripping off his brothers' families in the capital.
It can be said that none of the three women in his harem are easy to deal with. Even Jiang Pingxin, who usually appears to be a virtuous wife and loving mother, is actually a cunning and scheming woman.
The three of them working together are practically three female demons.
Qin Wu also had a lot of headaches because of this.
"Yes, Your Highness, this way please."
After speaking, the Marquis of Zhennan led the way.
The group soon arrived at the temporary command post, which used to be the residence of the city's lord.
After the Marquis of Zhennan captured the city, it was used as a place for the generals to discuss the war.
"Your Highness, your accommodations are arranged here. Would you like to rest first, or go directly to the command center?"
The Marquis of Zhennan inquired.
"Go straight to the command center. I need to understand the situation first."
Qin Wu gave instructions to the Marquis of Zhennan.
Now that he's arrived, he'll definitely need to understand the situation and redeploy his resources.
It's not too late to make repairs after everything is arranged.
Marquis Zhennan, accompanied by several deputy generals, brought Qin Wu to the command hall.
There is a huge map hanging inside, and in the middle is a sand table several meters long and wide.
The arrangement was simple, but everything was useful.
This shows that Marquis Zhennan was indeed a very pragmatic veteran general on the battlefield.
"Lord Zhennan, is your injury any better?"
After Qin Wu sat down, he inquired about the injuries of the Marquis of Zhennan.
He had received news beforehand that the Marquis of Zhennan had been seriously injured by a Grandmaster-level expert.
"Thank you for your concern, Marshal. My injuries are much better now."
Marquis Zhennan expressed his gratitude.
After more than two months of recovery, his injuries no longer affect his daily activities.
However, it is impossible for him to go back to the battlefield.
"That's good. Focus on recovering from your injury. Leave everything else to me."
"Tell me about the current situation!"
Seeing that the Marquis of Zhennan was alright, Qin Wu didn't say anything more, as official business was more important now.
"Marshal, our situation is not good right now. We have been on the defensive almost all the time in recent major battles."
A lieutenant spoke up.
These two months have been the most frustrating time for them since they set off.
The Southern Qi army continued to besiege the city, but the Southern Qi army was unable to launch a counterattack.
To be honest, in terms of the combat strength of the soldiers on both sides, their combat strength was far superior to that of the Southern Qi army.
However, because of the two Grandmaster-level experts, they had no choice but to defend the city.
How can this not make them feel aggrieved?
"Did Southern Qi send out its elite troops?"
Qin Wu, unaware of the situation, asked directly.
"No, the Southern Qi doesn't have any elite troops right now. They have two Grandmasters in charge."
“We have a mysterious Grandmaster here, but he is seriously injured and has gone into seclusion to heal. We don’t have a Grandmaster to protect us, so we can only defend passively.”
The deputy general's words were tinged with resentment.
He was also filled with anger towards those two Grandmaster-level experts. If he weren't weak enough, he would have torn them to pieces.
"Marshal, it's like this. The Southern Qi side is now completely disregarding the rules. As soon as we leave the city to fight, those two Grandmasters will attack and kill our generals. Several of our generals have already died in battle because of this."
The Marquis of Zhennan spoke up to explain.
"Has the Southern Qi Dynasty lost all sense of shame?"
Qin Wu never expected that the Southern Qi would be so shameless as to send a Grandmaster to kill the generals in the army.
"They're not just shameless, they're hiding among the besieging army, trying to scale the city walls and launch a sneak attack on us."
The deputy general spoke again.
"Playing dirty tricks? I like it. Since you've already gone so far as to be shameless, then don't blame me."
Qin Wu laughed, a laugh that sent chills down one's spine.
On the battlefield, as a soldier, he was unwilling to use too many ruthless and vicious tactics.
Now that the Southern Qi has disregarded the rules and acted shamelessly...
He then showed the Southern Qi what shamelessness truly meant.
"In the next few days, if there is a major battle, everyone should pretend to be exhausted and lower the guard of the Southern Qi army."
Qin Wu gave the order.
He made arrangements in advance for his arrival, and the people in Southern Qi are unaware that he has already arrived.
Perfect timing! He used this information gap to teach the Southern Qi a lesson.
"Your Highness, the Southern Qi probably already knows about your arrival."
Marquis Zhennan gave a reminder.
"Rest assured, the reinforcements I am leading are still five days' journey from Ancheng."
Qin Wu revealed a mysterious smile.
He only brought 100,000 men with him today, and he did so under cover of darkness.
His secret guards had arrived in Ancheng beforehand, and he believed that no one could leak the news of his arrival.
Marquis Zhennan was puzzled. Qin Wu had already arrived with his army, so why did he say that his army would not arrive for another five days?
"My lord, the prince only brought 100,000 troops today, and what time is it now? Have you forgotten?"
The dragon rider will provide reminders from the side.
Marquis Zhennan then realized that it was already midnight.
He had just gone to sleep when he received the news that Qin Wu had led his troops into the city.
If the messenger hadn't been a trusted confidant, he would have thought someone was joking with him.
Thinking about this, he understood what Qin Wu was going to do.
"Your Highness, we know what to do."
The Marquis of Zhennan spoke with a hint of excitement, knowing that the Divine Martial King was going to retaliate in kind.
Subsequently, Marquis Zhennan and others reported the current situation of the entire Southern Qi battlefield to Qin Wu in detail.
After understanding everything.
It's daybreak.
However, everyone here is a person of spiritual cultivation, so it's fine for them to stay up all night.
After understanding the situation, Qin Wu began to rearrange the battlefield.
The previous arrangements made by the Marquis of Zhennan have been significantly altered.
Marquis Zhennan belonged to the conservative faction, which differed from Qin Wu's style.
Qin Wu preferred to take the initiative.
