Chapter 588 Heading to the Battlefield
The sun was shining outside. Si He held an umbrella and watched from afar as the general in the camp gathered his soldiers and hurried out.
At the same time, they also sent people over to escort her away. After all, the situation was tense now, and the enemy might attack at any time.
However, she had no intention of leaving.
If the weather wasn't so bad, she would have wanted to try out the power of the ghost flute.
Since she was unwilling to leave, Qinggu and Taoist Guye were forced to stay.
Time passed by little by little. The fighting outside was fierce, and Si He could feel the increasingly tense atmosphere in the camp.
Soldiers came from time to time to report the situation of the war. Since Yue Fuli had previously transferred some soldiers to support Wucheng, the manpower here was a bit tight. In addition, without Mo Mo's help this time, the situation was definitely not so smooth.
The soldiers on the front line had suggested many times that Mo Mo should join the army to help, but before Yue Fuli left, he ordered that it should not be allowed to help this time. Now he made the request to Si He again, but she thought about it and did not agree, and only told them to hold on until night.
Helplessly, they could only grit their teeth and hold their positions.
Si He stayed in the camp and was not idle. Instead, he asked the remaining generals about the enemy's situation.
Now, the forces of Zhongzhou and Liangzhou have joined forces to launch attacks on many places in Jizhou, and have begun to seize territory, fighting fiercely.
At the end of the day, many soldiers were injured, but fortunately the enemy did not press too hard. Today's battle may be more of a test.
And Si He also had a comprehensive understanding of the enemy's situation.
In the evening, the commander Xiao Luo once again asked Si He to mobilize Mo Mo and told him his plan, which was to just use it to attract the enemy's attention, not to send it into battle.
After all, it would be a waste if we don't make use of such a terrifying big snake here. Moreover, it was because of its participation in the battles before that they won many great victories, and the effect was very good. So from the overall situation, they hope that it will come out to help again.
Unfortunately, this big snake only listens to Yue Fuli and Si He, and outsiders cannot command it at all.
In the tent, the general Xiao Luo, who was over forty years old, had a solemn and majestic expression on his face. He was waiting anxiously for Si He's reply.
After taking a sip of tea, Si He put down the teacup and looked at the sky outside. The sun had already set, so it was time to go out.
She stood up and said to him, "Momo, there's no need. I'll try it myself."
Hearing this, General Xiao Luo frowned. What are you trying?
This is a battlefield. What is she, a woman, trying to do?
Then, she picked up a beautiful and delicate object from the table. It was a small hollow flower bud cage with a black thing inside. Was it a musical instrument?
She said, "I got a new treasure today, and it's a good opportunity to test its power."
Hearing her say this, General Xiao Luo immediately looked carefully at the thing in her hand. After a while, he asked doubtfully, "What kind of treasure is this? How do you want to try it, Madam?"
This thing didn't look like a treasure. Besides being exquisite and beautiful, he couldn't see anything special about it. Even if it was a treasure, wasn't it used to ward off evil spirits? What use would it have on the battlefield?
If he wanted to use evil objects to launch a sneak attack, there were also powerful Taoist priests on the enemy side, and they had many evil-suppressing treasures. To be honest, he was not very optimistic about using a few evil objects to turn the tide of the battle.
Si He lowered her eyes to look at the object in her hand, the corners of her lips raised slightly, and she said: "This thing can withstand thousands of troops. It is a powerful weapon."
Hearing her say that this was a murder weapon, Xiao Luo's eyes suddenly became much more serious. He wanted to ask more questions, but she didn't want to say more, "Let's go."
As she spoke, she put the things into a talisman bag and walked out.
General Xiao Luo hurriedly followed, wanting to stop her, fearing that something might happen to her. However, seeing her serious expression and confident words, as if this thing was truly powerful, he stopped talking.
Just give it a try. Anyway, there is a temporary ceasefire now. Let's see how she wants to try. If it doesn't work, it will be easier to convince her and let Momo, the big snake, help.
General Xiao Luo thought so, and sent someone to bring a horse over, ready to take her to the front of the camp, with a team of soldiers guarding her.
However, before she could mount her horse, Momo came quickly from a low hill not far away, and Wuwu was with it.
The two big guys came to her in a short while.
"hiss~"
"Woo~"
Lately, whenever she leaves the camp, these two big guys come over and are quite clingy.
Si He reached out and touched their heads, "Come on, I'll take you out for a walk."
Anyway, I don't plan on asking Momo to do anything, so it's okay to bring him along. I can just stay away from him when the time comes.
"hiss~"
"Woo~"
They responded to her with a rather cheerful voice.
Seeing this, General Xiao Luo on the side wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he didn't say much and took her to the front of the camp.
Si He mounted her horse, escorted by a team of soldiers. Mo Mo and Wu Wu followed from a distance behind, mainly for fear of scaring their horses.
At this moment, Taoist Guye and Qinggu and others saw Si He bringing two strange beasts and following General Xiao to the front of the camp, so they couldn't help but follow.
The battle site was not too far away, and they rode their horses and soon arrived at a wide plain.
At this time, the sky had darkened and night fell.
The two armies were quite far apart, facing each other across the plain.
At this moment, both armies lit torches, like two fire dragons facing each other and staring at each other from afar, and the situation was tense.
On the plain, corpses were scattered everywhere, bloodstains were everywhere, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
The seriously wounded soldiers had already been carried away for treatment, leaving only the bodies that had not been collected for burial, because the war was not over yet. It was only a temporary ceasefire and fighting could resume at any time.
Si He sat on her horse and looked at the situation ahead. Fortunately, the battle took place in the suburbs and would not harm the civilians. She didn't have to worry too much for a while.
She got off the horse, and after the soldiers led the horse away, Mo Mo climbed next to her. The surrounding soldiers had already made way for her.
"Hiss~" it called.
Si He turned around, patted Mo Mo's head, and said, "Just stay here obediently for a while, okay?"
"Hiss~" it responded, looking well-behaved.
General Xiao Luo, who was standing by, looked at Mo Mo, then at Si He, and said, "I wonder how Madam would like to test the treasure?"
Si He took out the ghost xiao and put the lotus cage back into the talisman bag, then tied the talisman bag around her waist and said, "I can go ahead and try it alone. You don't need to follow me."
Hearing her say this, General Xiao Luo immediately frowned again, disagreeing with her approach, "This is a battlefield, it's too dangerous for Madam to go forward alone!"
