Chapter 1521 Approaching Zhang Xu Kingdom’s Capital City (2)
Most of the time, the decision of who were in charge of offense and defense would be determined by those who were ranked higher. Wei Mu Bai was already 5000 men commander while Mu Sheng Xi was still 4000 men commander. Though, this was their rank after being temporarily raised for this war.
If they didn’t manage to achieve much, this rank would be deprived and given to others who were more qualified.
Mu Sheng Xi hadn’t done much worthy of this title.
He took a deep breath.
After moping around and watching the war these past few days, he had already calmed down. What General Cao did was not something he could control and after careful thinking, he knew that what he could do was simply move forward.
He couldn’t be trapped by this incident forever.
He still had his future in front of him.
For the sake of himself, his father who was waiting for him, and others, he had to step forward.
“Yes.” Mu Sheng Xi’s eyes were filled with determination.
Wei Mu Bai looked at Mu Sheng Xi’s expression and nodded in appreciation. This man might have been hit by this incident, but he didn’t fall down and instead moved forward. “Good. Prepare for the battle.”
“Yes!”
The soldiers were preparing themselves.
And when General Min came, the brutal battle started and the soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom was slowly being pushed back.
Neither General Zhang nor General Min could withstand the brutal attacks from Great General Wei. The fame that General Min gathered at the north was nothing more than false name that worth nothing in front of Great General Wei.
They lost.
And kept on retreating.

The battle continued fiercely.
The soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom seemed to be injected with chicken blood because their battle performance just got better and better.
This made those who watched the battle felt their heart hurt so much.
Without Prime Minister Lei holding the fort, it could be said that the battle condition turned to the worst for Zhang Xu Kingdom’s side.
The court was a mess with the officials cursing and blaming each other for the result of the battle.
Those who previously supported Prime Minister Lei felt that their heart was bleeding.
The defensive battle plan that was concocted was now torn apart without any chance to rebuilt. Many cities were taken by Fei Yang Kingdom and there was simply no chance for them to recover in the slightest bit.
By now, the soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom was already approaching closer to the Capital City.
General Zhang and General Min were both called back to protect the Capital City.
As for Great General Wei?
They will just fight it out here!
Even if they were trapped, they still had Heavenly General Lu who was staying at the north and would come to help them.
At the very least, that was their conviction.
“You should have listened to us back then! Prime Minister Lei is an indispensable figure. Without him holding the fort, our defense continues to be broken.”
“What are you saying? He only defended and couldn’t achieve any victory substantial enough! If he kept on being the one in power, do you want to see that how we end up being pushed back?”
“Without attacking, he only defended and didn’t give us any victory.”
“But it’s better than General Min who only know how to retreat!”
“Look at how many lands and cities we have lost? In the past two weeks, our territory had already decreased sharply and even the north area is getting pressured by General Yu from Fei Yang Kingdom.”
“General Min previously managed to fight several rounds with General Yu, but now, he’s just a weakling in front of Great General Wei.”
“There are still two generals who hadn’t faced Fei Yang Kingdom. We can go over and call them.”
“You #$%^<a> $%^&*!”
“What…”
The curse and shouts could be heard from the main hall.
Emperor Zhang Hou Tian’s face was as black as the bottom of the pot right now. Prior to calling Prime Minister Lei back, he had heard of General Zhang and General Min’s prowess in keeping the north border.
The north border with General Yu was stable and in fact, they had managed to take back some of the areas and push them back.
General Yu also didn’t seem to move forward and settle there.
At most, she blocked their route to Lin Family.
But she didn’t do anything more than that. With General Min stationed there to face General Yu before, Zhang Xu Kingdom didn’t suffer any loss.
Those with keen eyes would know that this was nothing more than a delicate balance.
Should General Min be called back, there would be nothing more than losses that awaited them.
And that was what happened.
Without General Min, General Yu, Yu Jin, began to attack and conquered a few cities around Lin Family. It could be said that her soldiers had the absolute upper hand in those area.
Zhang Xu Kingdom could do nothing but to eat their loss in silence.
And General Min vs Great General Wei?
The result was that General Min could only retreat and retreat again because he continued to suffer loss.
Many of his commanders died in the hands of other commanders from Fei Yang Kingdom.
“Shut up!” Prime Minister Tan yelled. “So what if you continued to yell like this? In the end, you can’t solve the problem by screaming. What we should think is how to solve the approaching General Xing and General Jun!”
Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua led their soldiers and the closest to Zhang Xu Kingdom’s Capital City.
It wouldn’t take long for them to come to the Capital City given their speed.
They had to be prepared for a decisive war here.
“General Zhang and General Min had been called back.” One of the officials raised his head. “They should be able to defend the Capital City well.”
