"Zhang Huai, I advise you not to be so stubborn!"
A majestic and powerful voice spread all around.
"Zong Shou Country Ruler is talented and strategic, you are a hero of the Cloud World. Unfortunately, you are too young and rash, angering the Taoist Faction and causing you to do such an infuriating thing. Now that you are going through your tribulation, the various sects are attacking and bearing the wrath of the Saints, you are most probably dead. Gantian Mountain is about to fall. You are a rare talent, so why do you want to be buried along with Zong Shou? If you are willing to surrender to my Great Yue, I can give you half a province of land! "
This was Huizhou Island, a small city near the Cloud Ocean known as Shuangtian.
The entire Huizhou terrain was like a ring-shaped mountain. Although Shuangtian City was small, it wasn't as dangerous as Seven Cloud Mountain. However, it was also to the point and extremely crucial.
If the cavalry spread out, they would be able to cut off all the roads leading to Huizhou.
This was why if they wanted to occupy Huizhou, they couldn't go through Seven Cloud Mountain in the east and the west where Gantian Mountain troops gathered. They had to take down this city first!
In just a few days, this small city had blocked 1.3 million troops from South Wind Cloud Continent.
At this moment, Zhang Huai was sitting leisurely on the city wall.
He was dressed in a scholarly manner, totally out of place with the tense atmosphere here.
However, every time the forty thousand soldiers on the city walls felt a little uneasy, they would glance at Zhang Huai from time to time.
As long as they could see that calm body, the uneasiness in their hearts would fade a little.
Zhang Huai himself didn't notice anything at all. He looked across with a smile that wasn't a smile.
The middle-aged man who wore golden armor and held a large spear in his hand had an extraordinary aura and was full of vigor.
This should be the Great Yue Country Ruler, the South Wind Ruler of Yue Dynasty, Yuan Weiling.
Only now did he think about persuading him to surrender?
Shuangtian City had been surrounded for five days. From the first to the fourth day, they were sieging.
Unfortunately, Kong Yao was prepared in the city, not only did she have 200 thousand elite troops defending. The city protecting Spiritual Formation and city walls were strengthened. All kinds of equipment were also fully prepared.
They suffered heavy losses on the first day and couldn't make any progress. They started to use strategies to instigate the generals in the city and collude with the outside.
Zong Shou's tribulation was no secret. Everyone knew that he had offended the Dao Sect.
There were also people secretly spreading the news in Huizhou Donglin that the Gantian Monarch was about to die.
Despite repeated prohibitions, they were unable to find the exact source.
He had offended too many local nobles when he started the new policy in Huizhou, so he didn't bother to sort them out.
After repelling the Great Yue army, he would settle the score with these people.
However, at this moment, the people of Huizhou were in turmoil. Most of the cities in the south surrendered without a fight.
Wherever the Great Yue army passed, it was as if they were sweeping through everything!
Therefore, he was also worried that there might be some trouble during those few days.
However, the situation was better than expected. The soldiers of Frostsky City were all from Huizhou. These two hundred thousand people were the youths that Zong Shou saved on Lianyun Island.
They were also the people who split the benefits of the land these few years. In the end, they were still united. Even when defending the city was at its toughest, no one rebelled.
As for the people in the city, those rich people were forcefully moved away a day ago.
He only left behind some strong people who were able to help defend the city.
On the fifth day, Yuan Weiling was helpless and started to persuade them to surrender.
He was trying to probe. It would be good if they succeeded, but it didn't matter if they didn't.
Actually, at this moment, both sides were waiting for the results from Gantian Mountain.
If the Taoist Faction won … The Great Yue Ruler would naturally save a lot of effort. If Zong Shou won, then they would immediately retreat.
However, at this moment, there were dozens of square formations beneath the city. They were really strict and killing intent surged into the clouds. It was obvious that they didn't think that he could take the Ruler down and escape.
After Yuan Weiling said this, he saw that Zhang Huai was still sitting on the city wall, looking really casual like he had no intention of replying.
His expression instantly became really ugly. He didn't say anything more, expressionlessly looking at Zhang Huai once more.
"Let's hope that half a day later, when blades touch your body, Zhang Huai can still be so calm …"
After saying this, he turned his horse back and headed towards the formation.
Zhang Huai's eyes flashed and then he was interested.
"Whether or not the foreign minister will be stabbed by the blade is still an unknown matter. As for the Ruler, what is the reason for invading our land for no reason? Starting a war, aren't you afraid of the people blaming you? "
"For no reason?"
Yuan Weiling's body stopped and the war beast under his feet stopped.
"Your Gantian Mountain is going against the law in Huizhou, making those new policies. Slaughtering the gentry, going against the hierarchy, and bullying the people? My Great Yue is attacking the law, so what crime is there? Just looking at the cities in the south, one could see that they were all settled by sending out a proclamation. The people here have suffered for a long time! I remember that two years ago, your Ruler Zong Shou used the tens of millions of people as an excuse to occupy Huizhou. What, only your ruler is allowed to hang the people and punish them, but I, Yuan Weiling, am not allowed to save the people? "
"That is true!"
Zhang Huai smiled when he heard this, "However, the price isn't small! Let's just hope that Ruler is prepared … "
Yuan Weiling couldn't be bothered to reply, scoffing coldly. He continued to ride his mount towards the direction of the main formation.
However, in the next instant, he heard a cold bugle horn sound from behind.
Then, there was a huge earthquake. The mountains and rivers shook.
Yuan Weiling's expression changed slightly, the mount under him immediately moved according to his will. It flew into the air. When it was a thousand feet high, Yuan Weiling looked out from afar.
Tens of miles away, there was a huge army. They were marching over from behind.
At the front were the 50,000 Big Dipper Sword Soldiers and Big Dipper Crossbow Soldiers that he was really worried about.
And behind them were also incomparably elite armored soldiers. Looking out, there were 300,000 of them. None of them were below Grade-3!
At this moment, not only Yuan Weiling, but the many generals in the Great Yue Army were all filled with disbelief. The entire army was in a state of panic.
A sinister look flashed across Yuan Weiling's eyes.
Before attacking Huizhou, he had thought that this might be a trap.
This was why he had confirmed that most of the Gantian Mountain elites had moved north. Half of them had already boarded the ships before they decided to follow the Ruler.
After they went ashore, they were even more careful. Within a few hundred miles, there were many scouts. There were many troops at the main paths.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for the enemy to sneak behind them without them knowing.
However, how did the army in front of him appear here?
Like a God Army descending from the heavens, appearing in front of him?
Looking left and right, he could see two 200,000-strong armies marching over. They were also elite troops.
Zhang Huai, who was beside him, laughed out once more, "Zhang Huai might not die, but Ruler won't be able to escape alive today!"
Yuan Weiling's eyes narrowed, but then he calmed down and remained calm.
There was actually no need to worry about the battle today. They just had to wait for the results from Gantian Mountain. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
