There were eunuchs who acted recklessly due to favor, eunuchs who colluded with court officials to disrupt the court, eunuchs who slandered loyal officials, and eunuchs who caused the army to suffer due to their misguided commands.
However, Chen Anmi and his men had never seen a eunuch appointed as a defense commissioner.
Chen Anmi believed that the new commander of Yunyue Kingdom must be too cowardly to face him, so he pushed a eunuch out as a shield.
Chu Chen called out helplessly, "Stop talking nonsense. I, this eunuch, am the new commander of the Eastern Frontier. If you don't believe me, you can ask the soldiers by my side."
Chen Anmi, unwilling to believe, shouted, "Is that true?"
"Defense Commissioner is mighty!"
"Defense Commissioner is mighty!"
Instead of answering, the soldiers shouted towards Chu Chen.
At this point, Chen Anmi and his men below the city walls understood that this eunuch was indeed the highest commander here.
After a moment of silence, Chen Anmi felt this was an opportunity to sow discord and quickly shouted, "Does your Yunyue Kingdom truly have no one capable, that you would appoint a eunuch as Defense Commissioner? What a joke to the world!"
"Such an emperor who cannot discern people, why do you serve her? Why not open the city gates and surrender to our Great Chen Kingdom! You will surely be rewarded with high positions and a bright future!"
If Chu Chen had not demonstrated his talent and strength before, Chen Anmi's words might have caused significant trouble.
But now.
Chu Chen surveyed the surroundings. The soldiers around him smiled, unmoved, and looked at Chen Anmi with disdain.
Chu Chen also smiled with satisfaction. The morale was usable!
Therefore, he shouted down to the city, "Generalissimo of the West Expedition of the Chen Kingdom, you should stop wasting your efforts trying to sow discord. Our Yunyue Kingdom's soldiers are not cowards who fear death, and they will never open the city gates to surrender to you."
"As for your claim that His Majesty is poor at discerning people, why not ask the generals by your side first if our Emperor is good at discerning people or not? If he cannot recall, you can also go back and ask your more than twenty thousand brothers lying on the ground unable to get up!"
Ma Su heard this and was furious.
This was like saying he was worse than a eunuch.
He roared, "What nonsense! You damned eunuch, the one who blocked our general's attack this morning was your General Xuanwu, Gao Le. What does it have to do with you, a eunuch?"
"You have such thick skin and audacious courage to openly claim Gao Le's merits in front of so many people!"
"Gao Le, that damned eunuch is stealing your credit. He even dares to claim credit for your successful defense. If you are a man, don't endure it. Kill that damned eunuch, and I will take the blame for you!"
Gao Le was anxious. This was a scheme to create division!
If something were to happen to Duke Chu, the Defense Commissioner, on the battlefield later, wouldn't it be blamed on him?
"Presumptuous! You mere defeated foe, how can you understand the methods of Defense Commissioner Duke Chu? Stop spewing your useless nonsense. If you are unconvinced, come and fight!"
"You scoundrel! When was I your defeated foe? If you have the guts, come down, and let's have a fight in front of tens of thousands of soldiers!"
The two cursed each other across the city walls, one above and one below.
Chu Chen waved his hand, and Gao Le immediately stopped cursing.
"Since you are not satisfied with the results of this morning, very well, I will ask you."
"Your rear, Pingye County, was raided by my 500 men at night. We entered and exited your army of ten thousand as if no one was there, and burned all your 150,000 troops' provisions. Do you think this shows our Emperor's discerning eye?"
Chen Anmi's eyes widened, and his figure on horseback swayed.
Damn it, how could I be so foolish as to converse with them?
Now, the matter of the rear provisions being burned has been exposed!
Chen Anmi suppressed the panic and doubt from the soldiers behind him, and the increase in his physical discomfort. He shouted, "Utter nonsense! You, a eunuch, even with ten thousand men, could not have taken Pingye County, let alone burned my army's provisions?"
"Is that so? Then, in Pingyang County, I designed a fire that burned ten thousand of your men. Does that count as our Emperor's discerning eye?"
Chen Anmi's mouth slightly opened. This matter could not be concealed. Too many people had seen it, and he could not refute it.
At this moment, Chu Chen's smile vanished. He secretly used his spiritual energy to perform the Lion's Roar martial art and shouted sternly, "Chen Anmi, you are a general of the Chen Kingdom, yet after just one early victory, you became complacent, arrogant, and disdainful of others."
"You failed to protect the provisions of your rear army, which were burned by me; you failed to protect your soldiers, who rushed into a trap and perished; when you came to the city walls, you were intimidated by mere wooden signs and dared not advance, stopping three times for three signs!"
"Finally, you are blind, falling into traps and injuring yourself. Now, leading your troops, you appear imposing below the city, but you are nearing your end!"
"Our Yunyue Kingdom withdrew the civilians and soldiers from Pingyang County and stationed an army of 50,000 in the current Anzhi County to resist you, causing you to lose over ten thousand men and making no progress."
"Now, you have rushed into the trap I set without realizing it, and you will soon be surrounded. You are unaware of the divine soldiers descending from the heavens!"
"Your defeat is imminent! How dare you babble here?"
"May I ask, during the bloody battle this morning, where were you?"
"Such uselessness, cowardice, lack of strategy and bravery, can you be worthy of the trust and favor bestowed upon you by your Chen Emperor? Can you be worthy of your teachers who educated you? Can you be worthy of the soldiers who fought and died by your side?"
The Lion's Roar shouted with spiritual energy was clearly heard not only by those with martial arts on both sides but also by all the soldiers.
Chen Anmi's face turned red. He wanted to retort and circulated his blood. He had just uttered the word "you" when he saw a spinning helmet flying from the city wall.
A hidden weapon? No, how could they use something as conspicuous and large as a helmet as a hidden weapon?
Chen Anmi was startled, his expression turned cold, and he quickly thrust his spear forward.
"Mere..."
*Poof.*
Chen Anmi had only uttered two words when he felt a blur before his eyes and a sense of horror. He realized that something liquid seemed to have splashed on his face?
No, what is this smell?
Chen Anmi's face changed. He wiped his face with his left hand and looked at it, then sniffed it.
Enraged, he roared, "Damned eunuch, how dare you insult me like this!"
As he cursed, a little liquid dripped from his face and into his mouth.
Chen Anmi was stunned. He was so angry he didn't know what to say, his breathing becoming rapid.
Looking at Chu Chen on the city wall with a smiling face, and being unable to do anything about him.
He was so angry that his throat surged, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood, falling from his horse.
"General!"
"General!"
The surrounding generals quickly dismounted and helped Chen Anmi up to check on him.
At this moment, they suddenly smelled a peculiar odor.
This smell? Bastard! He actually used a helmet to hold excrement and threw it at the General!
How could there be such a shameless, thick-skinned person in this world?
This completely ignited the anger of Ma Su, the old general, and others.
"Issue the order! Attack the city! Attack the city!"
"Take the city, capture that damned eunuch, and tear him to pieces!"
"We will not rest until the city is taken!"
