On the same night as Bai Yuhao left, after Liu Yunxuan left less than a thousand people to guard Hippofield, she brought the remaining seven thousand soldiers and hurried to Deathly Stillness Ridge to attack it before Deathly Stillness Ridge could send food and materials to support it.
This was also Bai Yuhao's plan of surrounding Wei and saving Zhao.
After two days and one night, Liu Yunxuan led the army and arrived at Deathly Stillness Ridge.
Garrison of Woodgod Kingdom only received five thousand Deathly Stillness Ridge s, so when he saw the Crimson Dragon Army soldiers arriving at the city gates, he immediately sent a message to the main force of the Woodgod Kingdom who were currently in the ninth cave waiting for supplies and support.
Mu Lingluo, who was the commander of the Woodgod Kingdom's main forces who had occupied the ninth cave, quickly received news from the Deathly Stillness Ridge.
At this moment, in the camp of the Nine Hole Woodgod Kingdom, Mu Lingluo was in her own command tent, thinking of a plan. And in the commander tent, sitting on a chair, was the imposing Handsome Man.
If Bai Yuhao was here, he would definitely be very surprised to see Mu Lingluo together with Handsome Man. This was because he was Mu Ziye who had brought Garrison of Woodgod Kingdom along to withdraw from Hippofield not long ago.
"Ling Luo, I didn't expect that you would have a hard time as well." Mu Ziye laughed heartily as if he was watching a good show when he saw Mu Lingluo's slightly wrinkled and gloomy face.
"You still dare to say? If you didn't lose your Hippofield, I would have already attacked the main camp of the Crimson Dragon Army." Mu Lingluo glared at Mu Ziye angrily. The loss of Hippofield had put her entire plan into a deadlock, and now, the Scarlet Dragon Army had calculated that they were lacking food and supplies. Thus, they attacked Deathly Stillness Ridge in order to cut off their retreat. Deathly Stillness Ridge was the only place where they could get food and materials. Once they were taken down, it was equivalent to restricting the movement of the main force of Woodgod Kingdom.
Furthermore, without food and materials, the main force of Woodgod Kingdom was unable to attack the Scarlet Dragon Army's frontline main camp.
"That can't be blamed on me. Even your Profound Magic Lotus Formation that has a hundred tries has been broken. What else can I do? I can only retreat." Mu Ziye shrugged and replied easily.
"You said earlier that the person who broke through my Profound Magic Lotus Formation was a young man with the surname Bai?" Not long ago, Mu Lingluo had heard from Mu Ziye about the loss of Hippofield. What surprised her the most was the matter of her Profound Magic Lotus Formation being broken. Ever since she created this Profound Magic Lotus Formation, it had not been broken, and it had even caused the Crimson Dragon Army to suffer greatly. But in this battle of Hippofield, there was actually someone in the Scarlet Dragon Army who managed to break through her Profound Magic Lotus Formation, which was truly hard for her to believe.
It was because this person had never appeared before, yet he suddenly appeared. Furthermore, not only did he break her Profound Magic Lotus Formation, he even seized back her Hippofield.
However, the thing that caught Mu Lingluo's attention the most was that the person who led the Scarlet Dragon Army in breaking the Profound Magic Lotus Formation was actually surnamed Bai.
Because, Mu Lingluo had already known from the inside that the person who helped the Scarlet Dragon Army out of the siege was a youth with the surname Bai, but he was not the commander of the Red Dragon Legion.
And after the Jiatian Pass battle, she once again found out from the inside news that the person who used the empty city's stratagem to scare Commander Zhou and the others off was also a youth surnamed Bai. It seemed to be the same person Commander Zhou saw in the Dismounting Slope.
Right now, the person who had seized back her Hippofield and broken her Profound Magic Lotus Formation was a commander who had the surname Bai. Although Mu Lingluo was unwilling to guess, she felt that this person was most likely the young man surnamed Bai who had ruined her two big plans.
Even though Mu Lingluo had already grasped some information about this youth surnamed Bai, she was unable to ascertain his origins, as if he had appeared out of thin air. Previously, he seemed to be within one of the Small Camp s in the Red Dragon Legion, and later, he was somehow recognized by Liu Cheng and praised multiple times by Liu Cheng. Also, I heard that this person was Xu Da's disciple.
As a result, Mu Lingluo was quite curious about this youth surnamed Bai. She wanted to know if he looked like a three-headed, six-armed young man, to be able to disrupt her plans so many times.
"Ling Luo, this time, you seem to be a bit too smart. Too eager to get close to the enemy, yet the Crimson Dragon Army took the opportunity to get close." Mu Ziye said calmly.
"I thought that you should be absolutely safe to guard Hippofield, but I didn't expect that …" Mu Lingluo also knew that she had made a mistake this time. Once Hippofield was thrown away, without food and materials, her twenty thousand strong main force would soon face the problem of a meal without rice.
Originally, Mu Lingluo had told the Deathly Stillness Ridge to gather the food and supplies as soon as possible after the Hippofield was thrown onto the ground, but it would definitely take some time to gather the food and materials, and at this critical juncture, the Crimson Dragon Army had calculated it to be the case. Thus, attacking the Deathly Stillness Ridge was equivalent to piercing into the fatal spots of the main force of the Woodgod Kingdom.
"I didn't expect that either …" "I've already repelled the Crimson Dragon Army three times. I never thought that I'd meet such a powerful opponent on the fourth time …" Mu Ziye shook his head with a bitter smile, but there was a hint of admiration in his smile.
"From what you're saying, it seems like you really admire this person." Mu Lingluo knew Mu Ziye very well, so she could see the meaning in Mu Ziye's smile.
"Frankly, I do admire him a lot, and if you see him, you'll think he's very different. Of course, it is also because of this that I was defeated by him. His way of using troops is even more difficult to fathom than yours. "Who would have thought that he would burn down not only the transportation ships of fodder and fodder, but also to attract Garrison of Woodgod Kingdom's attention. Then, he took the opportunity to break into the defensive line, leaving the defending troops completely defenseless. They were completely played around by him …" Mu Ziye said noncommittally.
"Is he really that good?" Mu Lingluo's cold eyes focused and a trace of curiosity appeared on her delicate face.
"Otherwise, how could I have lost … In terms of Woodgod Kingdom, the only one who can sincerely convince me of my military strategy is you, Ling Luo. Therefore, it's impossible for someone who can defeat me and even break your formation. " Mu Ziye said honestly.
"Xiluo …" Ling Luo … "When can you call me Elder Sister? You often call me that when you were young …" Mu Lingluo suddenly complained.
"Right now, I'm a prince who has no power at all. I don't want others to mistake me for useless because of you, Xiluo. I have to rely on my sister, who's with the same mother, to support me." Mu Ziye said with a cold smile.
So Mu Ziye's true identity was actually a prince of Woodgod Kingdom, and he was even Mu Lingluo's own brother!
