Chapter 68

After about half a month, we finally arrived at the border town. By my calculation, Wu Min Jun and I have been apart for more than two months. As the situation was urgent, he couldn't write a letter back and I couldn't write one to him either. After all, he has to serve as an example, and can't show feelings of missing the capital, as it will affect the morale of the soldiers.

I didn't want to admit it, but I really wanted to see Wu Min Jun.

Our platoon was made up of only 10,000, considering the scale of the war, its impact will not be great. After we came, we didn't even see Wu Min Jun's face. He Qin came out to help allocate the troops. I kept signaling with my eyes to He Qin, but his eyesight must be really bad as he did not notice me from beginning to end.

The situation at the moment was pretty good. Nan was on the offensive, but their soldiers were getting weary of the war, and the results of their successive attacks following their initial attack were not good so it made them lose confidence. The cities of Xi and Nan were close together and Wu Min Jun - this crazy person would sometimes, after launching an attack on the enemy, he will lead a small platoon of soldiers and ride into Nan to attack their cities.

One time it seems Wu Min Jun went into Jincheng city in Nan and lit it on fire... Jincheng, this name sounds very good, that day was very hot and humid, the fire was out of control, the entire Jincheng city was almost completely ruined, the morale of Nan suffered a huge blow and they were devastated, this was a place they lived, it was a big slap in the face.

This action of Wu Min Jun's, I can't say I agree with it, but I was not in a position to accuse him of anything, it was war, although his actions were very violent, but... I glanced at Liu Liang on the side, Nan has not done anything good either. Moreover, Wu Min Jun was fighting outright in a war, while Nan was trying to use sneaky tactics, and even one so underhanded as to want to use me, a...uh, a "weak" woman.

Since He Qin came to receive us, Wu Min Jun must be in his own tent. I first settled down with the others and ate a bit of food, then took off my helmet and heavy armor and then went out to get some air.

Ah, it's been a long time since I've had a shower...

I was silently planning in my mind, I can probably sneak into Wu Min Jun's tent later, and tell him about Liu Liang.

However, it seems that there was nothing abnormal about Wu Min Jun, he probably did not believe the words of the secret guard who was being controlled.

It was getting late, I was waiting for the others to go to sleep and I settled in and closed my eyes pretending to sleep. The Captain knew my identity and could probably guess my plans so he encouraged everyone to go to bed early and rest their bodies. I thought that this soldier was very smart and I was happy.

I slept for a while, I was really tired and could not help falling asleep, and wandered into the world of dreams...

Suddenly, there was a loud cry from outside, followed by scrambling sounds and hot air, I was jolted awake, quickly got up along with the others around me, we quickly put on our armor, grabbed our weapons, and ran out of the tent.

As soon as I got out of the tent, I saw a bright orange glow above, it stung my eyes.

I was a little confused, turned around and asked someone around me: "What happened?"

While running the person said: "Fire!"

I: "..."

That I can clearly see...-_-)'

I: "What was burned? "

"I don't know! Following the logic, it should be the food storage!"

I: "..."

What kind of logic is this...?

I was also anxious and so ran towards the fire, before being stopped midway, and then was stopped by people, then a big looking soldier came up and yelled out: "The Emperor has given instructions, get ready to engage! Everyone can rest assured that it is not our food burning!"

We waited outside for a while and then saw a team of people wearing different armor approach us, we were taken away and then the captains summoned the soldiers of their platoons, and everyone got into their formations. However, the fire did not stop and instead seemed to be increasing.

The commander shouted: "Everyone can be at ease, what is burning is firewood, right now, the enemy is waiting in ambush on the other side, waiting for the signal to attack, we will go from behind and catch them off, guard!!"

Everyone became excited. Then the strangest thing happened. The commander told each of us to take some wood or hay with oil and told us to throw it at the Nan soldiers.

We took the wood and hay, and proceeded behind the fire and quietly went to encircle them, the others went from the other side, and slowly we could all see the Nan soldiers, because it was a raid, they only brought about five thousand people, but we had fewer on our side, my team was only a few hundred, plus the few other teams, I estimate that we are only about two to three thousand.

The army camps of Nan and Xi were separated by a knee-deep small river. We drove through and slowly approached the Nan soldiers.

Suddenly, I head a familiar voice's shout carried by the wind: "Xi soldiers, throw them now and Attack!!"

Wu Min Jun.

Everyone was motivated to battle and threw the oiled wood and hay as far as possible into the array of the Nanyuan soldiers and then rushed forward to ambush them. Of course, I was among them.

I have strong martial arts skills, defending my life in the melee of battle was of course not an issue, but after all, this was not a one-on-one fight, I must not only maintain my own life, but I also had to kill Nan soldiers, but their martial skills are all very weak compared to mine. I was a little hesitant when I started, but then I thought it through, if I hesitated it would be bad for Xi. After all, if I kill them earlier, they would not have a chance to kill the others.

Breaking through the enemy lines all the way to the front, my hand holding the sword felt a little numb, there was a young man next to me, who had been fighting alongside me to kill the enemies together, he had no martial arts, but he had a lot of strength, killing without mercy.

After settling a round, I took a breather. The young man still had energy and came over to me and smiled: "Looking at your fine complexion and tender skin, I could not imagine you were so skilled!"

Me: "..."

Looking carefully, I realized he was the one who told me about the "fire"

I forced a smile at him, and couldn't help looking at Wu Min Jun who just killed an enemy. He wore the armor that I had wiped for him, holding the silver spear and waving it around, immediately solving the enemies rushing towards him.

He was much more powerful than I thought. Although, our martial skill levels are equally matched, but in relation to battle, he was much fiercer. But I did not feel displeased, I was actually a little happy.

What surprised me was that this was only 5,000 people, I originally thought that he would not join the battle in person.

But it seems that was not the case, and the soldiers were invigorated as they too did not expect it. It seems that Wu Min Jun has been fighting in battles in person... no wonder the Xi soldiers could fight with so much vigor, the Emperor leading the charge changes the vibe, how can they not put their all into protecting their homes and defending their country?

The young man saw me looking at Wu Min Jun and said: "Do you also admire the Emperor?  Oh... the Emperor is the most heroic man I have ever seen, and there is no arrogance."

Heroic might was no problem...but no arrogance?! How can that be... Ah, Wu Min Jun if you are not an Emperor, you could also be an actor and act in plays, you will definitely be very popular.
