Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace-Chapter 373 - 371 High-Explosive Bombs Demonstrate Divine Power
However, before that, a few small incidents occurred.
That was not knowing where to return after going down.
You have to understand, one hundred thousand Vanguard Army is definitely divided into several armies, and each army has several camps and units, Chen Mo still didn’t know which army or camp he belonged to.
Even if he knew, he didn’t know which way to go.
So he wandered around outside the commander’s tent with no clear purpose a few times.
Fortunately, at this time, a man who called him boss came over.
Chen Mo’s mind turned quickly, and he immediately said: "Oh, you kid, how did it go?"
"Everything went smoothly, the General even rewarded me."
"Ah, not bad, the General rewarded me too."
After a brief conversation, Chen Mo finally managed to bluff his way back to the camp he belonged to, and learned that he was called Hou Qi, nicknamed Monkey, from the same place as Zhang Nan, whom he was impersonating, and had a good relationship.
Back in the camp, there were frequent incidents again.
Monkey kept talking about his hometown, and wondered why wood and stones don’t speak.
And the reason they didn’t speak was that the voice wasn’t as good as Chen Mo’s disguise, talking too much would expose him, so his responses were mostly "mm," "oh," or just a few laughs.
Chen Mo quickly passed it off by saying they were tired and needed to rest, as they had to continue marching later.
Although Monkey felt something was odd, he didn’t think they had been replaced by someone else, let alone that they had been disguised and dared to infiltrate this army.
Because that would be an act of suicide.
...
"Their vanguard has already entered, nobody move, as the master said before, wait until the central army comes in, then attack upon the master’s signal." Gao Zheng hid in the bushes; in the sweltering weather, he was already drenched in sweat, with perspiration even dripping into his eyes, making it difficult to keep them open.
Just then, Gao Zheng’s back was patted.
It was Jiang Ruoqing.
She whispered a few words to Gao Zheng.
Gao Zheng then said, "Keep your eyes wide open later; don’t accidentally harm the master, or I’ll make you wish you never did."
After speaking, he said to Jiang Ruoqing, "Lady, don’t worry, the master is a First Grade Martial Artist; our arrows can’t harm him."
Jiang Ruoqing nodded in response.
Seeing Jiang Ruoqing’s cold demeanor, Gao Zheng couldn’t help but purse his lips, thinking to himself that Lady Luo Zhen was easier to get along with.
Then Gao Zheng instructed someone to release the captured birds.
According to the master’s words, it shouldn’t be too quiet; there must be sounds of birds and beasts.
...
Birds flew out from the dense forests on both sides; Wang Mo’s army didn’t find this unusual, as it was normal for so many people entering Niu Shan to disturb the birds and beasts in the mountains.
The enemy’s vanguard walked for over a quarter of an hour before the central army entered.
As the chariots of the central army came into Gao Zheng’s view, his breath grew slightly rapid, guessing that the people on those chariots were likely the enemy’s Main General.
Gao Zheng instructed his men to get ready.
Jiang Ruoqing, on the other hand, was searching unblinkingly for Chen Mo’s figure.
Just then, there was a commotion in the enemy’s central army.
Chen Mo was stopped by Wang Mo’s Personal Guard, preventing him from advancing.
"I have important matters to report to the General," Chen Mo said with a serious expression. "If something goes wrong, you can’t bear the responsibility."
Seeing Chen Mo’s serious demeanor, a Personal Soldier quickly went to report to Wang Mo.
The army did not stop advancing.
Wang Mo’s Personal Soldiers allowed Chen Mo to pass.
He successfully arrived beside Wang Mo’s chariot.
"What important matters, speak," Wang Mo said.
Just then, Chen Mo’s figure suddenly disappeared from Wang Mo’s sight, shocking him.
"General, be careful," Wang Mo’s Personal Soldier suddenly shouted.
It turned out that Chen Mo used Shifting Form and Position, appearing directly above and behind Wang Mo, with his fist aiming at Wang Mo’s head.
Wang Mo, being a Second-Grade Martial Artist, even close to stepping into First Grade Martial Artist, had senses far beyond those of ordinary people.
When his subordinate issued a warning, Wang Mo immediately became aware of Chen Mo’s position.
He suddenly let out a fierce shout, his cape flaring up, emitting an explosive sound, a fierce True Qi shooting towards Chen Mo.
However, Wang Mo clearly underestimated Chen Mo’s strength.
The burst of True Qi was shattered by Chen Mo’s punch, his explosive punch landed heavily on Wang Mo.
"Bang." The chariot below immediately shattered, and Wang Mo was knocked off the chariot, sent flying backward.
"You... you’re not Zhang Nan, who are you?" Wang Mo said, blood in his mouth, struggling to get up with the help of his Personal Soldiers, while the nearby Personal Soldiers surrounded Chen Mo.
Chen Mo rubbed his face vigorously, and soon, a face unfamiliar to Wang Mo appeared in front of him.
Chen Mo grinned wickedly, "I’m the Chen Mo you all are looking for."
"What?" Wang Mo’s expression changed.
Before he could give the order to surround and kill Chen Mo.
"Bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang!"
Several pitch-black objects suddenly flung out from the dense forest on both sides of the official road, and in just a few moments, massive explosions occurred.
Casualties were everywhere, with people and horses overturned.
The army immediately fell into chaos.
However, before they could figure out where the attackers were, waves of arrows rained down from the mountain forests on both sides, blotting out the sky.
"Shoo shoo shoo!"
"Pfft..."
"Ahhh..."
"No good, run, it’s an ambush."
Under such dense arrow rain, most of the enemy were still just Postnatal Martial Artists, ordinary bodies, not everyone wore Treasure armor, and in the panic from the High-Explosive Bomb, they had no time to defend, instantly resulting in massive casualties, screams rising, their formation instantly disrupted.
Even the Personal Soldiers surrounding Chen Mo suffered some casualties.
"Keep firing, shoot these bastards to death," Gao Zheng cursed, somewhat agitated and excited, never having imagined that these head-sized, pitch-black objects called High-Explosive Bombs had such tremendous power.
One explosion caused massive destruction.
Hearing Gao Zheng’s command, the soldiers drew bows and nocked arrows, launching yet another volley of arrows.
Though they had fought numerous battles, it was the first time they fought such a crushing battle.
Especially the power produced by the explosion of the High-Explosive Bomb, which greatly boosted their morale.
"Your turn." Chen Mo released True Qi, forming a protective shield around him, rendering the incoming arrows ineffective; he looked at the now severely injured Wang Mo, his eyes brimming with Killing Intent.
"Hold him off. General, run." The Personal Soldiers knew they were ambushed, and now that the General was seriously injured and no longer able to fight, if he were to die, the army would be leaderless and could easily collapse.
Wang Mo’s Personal Soldiers were all skilled, especially his Close Guards, who, upon hearing the command, had no hesitation, part of them charged at Chen Mo to block him, while others helped Wang Mo retreat.
