Cultivation Begins with Caring for Sister-in-law Chapter 342: Capturing Liu Ji
"Governor, it’s not good, we’ve fallen into a trap," the personal soldier said in a panic.
Wu Yu was also panic-stricken, and even found it difficult to hold his sword steadily.
This Fengling Port is Jiangdong territory, where did so many Chen Army soldiers suddenly co from?
Liu Ji was not much better off, showing a look of terror, as he gazed at the dense Chen Army soldiers on both sides of the mountains, a chill swept from the top of his head to his feet, making his whole body icy cold, he mumbled:
"I... I guessed correctly, Chen Mo indeed wants to make a move against Jiangdong, these troops must have followed Chen Mo when he crossed the river, otherwise it’s impossible for so many people to suddenly appear..."
However, realizing this now was already too late.
"Retreat, Governor, retreat quickly, we’ve been deceived," Liu Ji said urgently and tried to turn around to leave.
At this mont, the rear guard reported: "Report, Governor, it’s bad, our retreat path has been blocked."
"What?" Wu Yu’s back was already drenched with cold sweat.
"Surrender and you will not be killed!"
"Surrender and you will not be killed!"
"Surrender and you will not be killed!"
At this mont, the shouts from Chen Army soldiers echoed from the surrounding mountains, these words were just like when Wu Yu shouted to Chen Mo on the river.
The difference is, Wu Yu did not have the sa confidence that Chen Mo had to be able to break through.
"Soldiers, I am Wu Mi, Wu Yu has already betrayed the family, secretly siding with Prince Huai, attempting to kill my husband and drag the family with him, you have all been deceived by Wu Yu, now it’s not too late to turn back, swiftly lay down your weapons and surrender."
A crisp, resonant female voice echoed in the sky above the mountain pass.
Chen Mo did not imdiately order the slaughter of the troops below because he had another thought, so he had Wu Mi shout to them, to reduce unnecessary casualties.
Actually, on the river, when the people under Wu Yu heard Wu Mi’s shouts, they already had suspicions.
It’s just that their imdiate superior was Wu Yu, plus they had the wind advantage at that ti, holding an absolute advantage, so they pretended not to know anything.
But now, in a predicant, with their lives at stake, they suddenly began to stir.
Liu Ji imdiately realized that Wu Mi’s words had shaken the morale of the army, and hurriedly urged Wu Yu to order a fight for their lives, as there’s still a slim chance, whereas sitting idly would indeed be a dead end.
Wu Yu gave a fierce glare and shouted angrily: "Turn around and fight your way out for !"
"Fight for !"
"Kill!!"
Wu Yu led the navy that had landed and turned to charge out of the mountain pass.
At that mont.
Wu Yu heard a sharp whistle coming from behind him.
In just an instant, with a "pfft" sound, a feathered arrow pierced into Wu Yu’s right calf, causing him, while running, to fall to the ground.
The sword in his hand dropped, falling to the ground.
Wu Yu gasped from the pain and instinctively tried to pick up the sword that had fallen.
"Whoosh..."
Another feathered arrow shot forth swiftly, nailing Wu Yu’s hand that was reaching for the sword onto the ground.
"Ah..." The intense pain made Wu Yu cry out.
The surrounding personal soldiers ca to their senses, hurriedly gathering around Wu Yu for protection.
Chen Mo didn’t bother with Wu Yu, instead aiming his arrow at the only person in the "Wu Army" who wasn’t wearing armor, but had a "231" red number on his forehead.
Seeing him fleeing without heed, Chen Mo also aid for his right calf.
In such open visibility, naturally, it was a precise hit, although due to displacent while running, it hit the knee instead.
Then, Chen Mo used the sa thod to disable anyone with numbers over "200" using his bow, rendering them immobile.
Finally, he put down the strong bow, waved his hand grandly: "Kill."
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
A rain of arrows shot down violently from the forests on either side.
A sudden explosive sound erupted between the mountains, sections of the mountain wall were jolted loose, sending countless rocks thundering down onto the "Wu Army" below, and the mountain pass was instantly enveloped in a rising cloud of dust.
When the dust settled, the Chen Army soldiers hidden in the forests on both sides charged down, wielding swords, spears, and hand crossbows.
Blocked at the mountain pass, Cui Shuang also led troops to press forward, quickly narrowing the battle circle.
Thousands of people were squeezed into the several-feet-wide mountain pass, flanked by Chen Army soldiers, packed back to back, shoulder to shoulder.
"Your retreat is cut off; surrender now!"
"Surrender and those who surrender will not be killed!"
Chen Mo shouted, his voice booming like a bell, and the "Wu Army," which was initially in a state of panic and confusion, was forcefully made to halt.
Then, those "Wu Army" soldiers obstructing the front, destined to confront the Chen Army head-on, were so frightened they didn’t hesitate a bit and imdiately dropped their weapons, kneeling on the blood-stained ground, trembling with foreheads touching the ground.
The Wu Army soldiers inside the mountain pass, terrified by the arrow rain and falling rocks, followed suit like domino pieces, dropping their weapons and kneeling one after another in the congested, narrow mountain pass.
Clang, clang, clang...
The sounds echoed like raindrops throughout the mountain pass.
In the end, besides over a hundred Wu Army soldiers who had not laid down their weapons to surrender, the rest had surrendered.
These remaining hundred soldiers were Wu Yu’s most trusted loyalists.
Naturally, Chen Mo was without any rcy, and with a signal from his eyes to Sun ng, the latter waved his hand, saying, "Kill."
Before long, apart from the people on Chen Mo’s side, no one remained standing.
Wu Mi looked at the blood-soaked scene ahead, suddenly feeling dizzy, imdiately followed by a surge from her throat, instinctively raising her hand to cover her mouth, but finally couldn’t hold it in and turned away to squat and retch.
It was her first ti witnessing such a scene, and feeling physically unwell was quite normal.
Wu Mi was considered fortunate as her two personal maids were so frightened that their limbs went limp.
Chen Mo had other matters to handle, so he ordered a team to escort Wu Mi and the others back to the ship first.
He held his Tang Blade and ca to a few of those he shot into losing their mobility.
"Marquis, spare my life... I was wrong, I truly know I was wrong. For the sake of Mi’Er’s second brother, spare my life; we are a family," Wu Yu pleaded as soon as he saw Chen Mo approaching.
Wu Yu counted among the direct lineage of the Wu Family and had held great power, enjoying a lifeti of wealth and luxury, but at the mont of life and death, naturally sought to preserve his life.
Chen Mo had nothing to say to him, only asked who Liu Ji was, then kicked Wu Yu in the abdon, causing the latter to blackout instantly.
"Sun ng."
"Take him to the Wu Family."
"Understood." Sun ng stepped forward, lifting Wu Yu up. He initially thought Chen Mo had killed Wu Yu, yet unexpectedly Wu Yu was still breathing, "Marquis, he’s still alive."
"I’ve just crippled his cultivation, hand him over to the Wu Family, they will know what to do."
Chen Mo waved his hand, then approached Liu Ji, directly getting to the point: "Looking at you, you should be Prince Huai’s strategist, right? Then you should know what I want to ask, will you talk?"
"Hmph." Liu Ji snorted coldly, turning his head aside without speaking.
"Good, I admire people like you the most. Cui Shuang," Chen Mo said.
Cui Shuang stepped forward, respectfully saying, "Marquis."
"Have you ever interrogated a prisoner?" Chen Mo asked.
Cui Shuang paused, then nodded.
"Good, under the premise of ensuring his life, apply all the punishnts you know on him. Once he’s willing to talk, bring him to ," Chen Mo whispered.
You want to play tough? Let’s see how tough your bones really are.
"Understood." Cui Shuang received the order.
