At this moment, blood flowed like a river in the city. All the buildings in Hongzhou were made of stacked stones, forming alleys of varying depths. When the Mohist army suddenly appeared on the streets and messed up the troops, countless soldiers in black appeared on the roofs on both sides of the streets with bows and arrows. No one could not recognize them. They were the most elite Black Cloud Cavalry of the Mohist army. It was said that every soldier of the Black Cloud Cavalry was a one-in-a-hundred archer. The rain of arrows mercilessly poured down on the West-Hill soldiers on the streets. This was not a battle, but a one-sided massacre. The Black Cloud Cavalry took the high ground and attacked first. Their archery skills were obviously better than the West-Hill soldiers. The West-Hill soldiers had no chance to fight back and were forced into the narrow alleys. However, what awaited them was not a good fate. They were either shot in the chest by arrows from the roofs, or their throats were slit by people who appeared out of nowhere. The empty Hongzhou City instantly became a purgatory on earth.
Outside the city, Jhennam Of Gojoseon's face alternated between green and white. Now that things had come to this … he finally understood what he felt was wrong about these days. They thought that they had chased the Mohist army back to Hongzhou, but who could tell him where the cavalry that appeared behind them came from? Ye Li had actually hidden a cavalry of nearly 30,000 people behind them without anyone noticing. And these days, the people who were dizzy with victory did not even think about the strength of the Mohist army, which was once known as the leader of all countries.
Among the countless black whirlwinds, the red figure at the front was particularly conspicuous. Feng Zhiyao sat on his horse like a red whirlwind sweeping past. Everywhere he went, the West-Hill soldiers avoided him. His handsome face was full of wanton and carefree. After enduring for so many days, he could finally fight to his heart's content. In terms of military strategy, he was not as good as Jhennam Of Gojoseon. In terms of military experience, he was not as good as Jhennam Of Gojoseon. But so what? 30,000 cavalry against 30,000 infantry. In this flat land, there was no need for military strategy or strategy. It did not stop him from beating the West-Hill people. Almost in a happy mood, Feng Zhiyao's spear slashed across the throats of several West-Hill soldiers. He spurred his horse and swept past the King of Zhennan's Army. From a distance, he smiled and said, "Your Highness the King of Zhennan, our wangfei wants this humble one to greet the King of Zhennan on your behalf."
This greeting was definitely a form of mockery. Jhennam Of Gojoseon Of Gojoseon Of Gojoseon, Jhennam Of Gojoseon Of Princess Of Gojoseon's mind. It's just that … I would like to know, after Princess Ding burned Xinyang and destroyed Hongzhou's city gate tower, when I's reinforcements arrive, how will she defend Hongzhou? " Feng Zhiyao laughed loudly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Prince. But our Consort has also said that all the soldiers of West-Hill who enter the northwest will be killed without exception!" Jhennam Of Gojoseon snorted, "What a boastful tone. I am already exhausted from dealing with a mere 200,000-strong army, yet you still dare to boast like this. I may lose soldiers and generals, but the Mohist army won't fare any better. "Feng Zhiyao raised his eyebrows and laughed," Prince, do you think the Mohist army is afraid of you West-Hill people? The Princess Consort was only worried about His Highness Jhennam Of Gojoseon. The 300,000 reinforcements did not have Jhennam Of Gojoseon with them. Whether or not they will come to Hongzhou is another matter. "
Jhennam Of Gojoseon's expression changed slightly, but his face remained calm. However, his heart was already in a perilous situation. He had lost this round. Even though he had not seen the final outcome, Jhennam Of Gojoseon understood that he had lost to Mo Liufang in the first half of his life, but he had not expected to lose to a woman in the second half of his life! Even though he had seen the outcome in front of him, he could not accept it wholeheartedly. After a few exchanges, he already knew in his heart that Ye Li was not some kind of world-shaking genius. It was because of this that he could not understand how the outcome in front of him had come about.
After a long time, Jhennam Of Gojoseon looked at the laughing red-clothed figure and said with a ferocious expression, "Order the Gold-Robed Guards to capture Ye Li at all costs!"
"Prince, now here …"
"Kill!"
"The reason Jhennam Of Gojoseon fell for it was because he underestimated me too much." In a small valley about a dozen li away from Hongzhou City, Ye Li listened to the sounds of fighting that had not stopped in the direction of Hongzhou. She said to the confused Zhuo Jing and the others beside her, "If his opponent was Xiu Yao, he definitely would not have fallen for such a trick." Zhuo Jing said, "Princess is … if Prince did this, Jhennam Of Gojoseon would only think that it was a trick and change Princess, but he would not?" Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "No matter how careful Jhennam Of Gojoseon thinks he is, but … a man's natural contempt for a woman will not decrease. At most, he will be a little less than others. "Wei Lin smiled and said," I believe that after this, Jhennam Of Gojoseon will not underestimate Princess again. "
"Princess … after the battle outside the city ends, will they enter the city to help the brothers inside?" Lin Han asked.
Ye Li was silent for a long time and finally said, "No, they will immediately go to help Marquis Nan." Everyone was silent. There were seventy thousand Xiling Army in the city, but only ten thousand Mohist Army remained. No one could say how many would come out in the end. The thirty thousand Black Cloud Cavalry hidden outside the city, after killing the thirty thousand Xiling soldiers, had to go to the border to help Marquis Nan. Marquis Nan and Marquis Nan Shizi, Yun Ting, and a few other junior generals had to take thirty thousand men to stop the three hundred thousand reinforcements from Xiling. No one could say how many would come back. It was not that Princess was ruthless. Everyone knew that they did not have that many soldiers. Princess had already made the best arrangements.
"Princess, it is time to leave. If we hurry, we can reach a small city to rest tonight. "Ye Li turned her head to look at the city in the distance and nodded silently.
"Princess, there is a large group of soldiers heading towards Hong Zhou." The Shadow Guard who was scouting ahead hurriedly came back to report.
Ye Li paused. She frowned slightly and asked, "Who are they?" The Shadow Guard said, "They are the garrison troops from the neighboring Hong Zhou."
"Why are they coming now?" She knew that the generals from the neighboring garrisons had sent letters to the Emperor to help Hong Zhou. But these generals were all loyal to Mo Jingqi. She had sent people to ask for reinforcements, but without Mo Jingqi's decree, these generals were not willing or did not dare to lend her troops. They only promised that they had sent a letter to the capital asking for reinforcements. Ye Li understood Mo Jingqi's mentality and did not have much hope in this promise.
"Could they be the reinforcements for Hong Zhou?" Lin Han asked.
Zhuo Jing said coldly, "The timing is too much of a coincidence. Princess, I will go and take a look. "Ye Li frowned and said," Go, but be careful. "
Zhuo Jing was personally trained by Ye Li and was efficient in his work. He came back in less than two hours, but his expression was very ugly. Looking at Ye Li, Zhuo Jing said, "Princess, they are not here to help." Everyone was stunned. Mo Hua said coldly, "Could it be that they are here to help the West-Hill people?" Zhuo Jing shook his head and said, "They have set up camp a few miles away. I went in and eavesdropped on their conversation. He plans to stand by and watch. If we win, they will take advantage of the fact that we do not have time to rest to attack us. If the West-Hill wins, we will act according to the situation and retreat to the camp. If both sides suffer, it will be better. They will take advantage of us. "
