Søren rode on his tall liger with an excited Ashi Yuanba sitting in front of him.
He was supposed to stay in the mayor's mansion with Qinqin to study with Ning Bing, but Yuanba suggested going to the battlefield with them.
Ning Bing was naturally unwilling, but Ashita Liren and Søren thought about it and actually agreed to bring him to the battlefield.
From this, it could be seen how high the expectations of Ashi Yuanba and Søren were.
He wore platinum armor, carried a small alloy crossbow on his back, and held a hand gun.
This crossbow was forged from a mixture of platinum and black gold. It was very light, but very powerful. Moreover, it was a hand crossbow that could be picked up and fired with one hand. It was forged by Søren's secret laboratory a few months ago.
In terms of power, this alloy crossbow was much stronger. However, this kind of weapon couldn't be forged on a large scale. The cost of one was more than a thousand gold coins. It was only because Søren doted on this brat that he paid such a huge price to give him this gift.
Ashi Yuanba loved this crossbow so much, he turned and said: "Teacher, I want to kill an enemy with my own hands later."
Søren's heart skipped a beat. He brought Yuanba to the battlefield to let him feel the bitterness of war. After all, he was going to become a great ruler in the future, and also Søren's right hand man. However, he was only ten years old. If he killed someone at such a young age, he didn't know if there would be any psychological impact or trauma.
As a ruler, he first had to respect and cherish life, then kill decisively. This was a very complicated process.
Søren said: "Yuanba, do you know what the key to attacking Waterfront City is?"
"Quickly!" Ashi Yuanba said: "We have to take Waterfront City before Zhi Li's army arrives."
In the military meeting, even though Ashi Yuanba was only ten years old, he was also listening on the side.
Søren said: "Killing is not the goal. We have to be ruthless and merciful. In this battle, we have to use the shortest amount of time and casualties to take down Waterfront City. The most important thing is to not cause too many deaths. "
"I understand." Ah Shi Yuanba said, "But, but what if the two come into conflict? Should we focus on speed, or should we focus on mercy and killing less? "
"Hurry," Søren said.
"I understand." Ah Shi Yuanba said, "I'm here to watch the battle. Unless it's absolutely necessary, I won't kill."
"Yes." Søren rubbed his head.
"Ga …" At this time, a cry came from the sky.
Søren looked up. It was a huge griffin with a Shadow Pavilion expert riding on it. He was in the air, scouting for the army.
…
Over a hundred miles away from Celestial Water City was Nu River, which was also the border between Waterfront City and Celestial Water City.
This was the area with the calmest water flow in Nu River. There were three suspension bridges and a few ferries.
There was originally only one suspension bridge, but Zhi Li and Gui Xingfu had long wanted to attack Celestial Water City, so they built two more. Now it was Søren's turn.
A few hours ago, the suspension bridge and the ferries were still guarded by Waterfront City's army. There were five hundred of them. They were worried that Celestial Water City would come and destroy the suspension bridge.
Princess Cang Yan brought a dozen or so experts of the Shadow Pavilion and rushed over at the fastest speed to investigate the situation of the enemy.
It was easy to seize the ferries and the suspension bridge, but it was difficult to not let a single person escape to report to Nanlin Fort's Guiqin Canal army.
After investigating the enemy's situation, Celestial Water City's Shadow Pavilion and Suo Family's warriors, a total of more than a hundred people, secretly rushed to the suspension bridge and the ferries. They launched an attack in the middle of the night and finished the battle in just an hour. The five hundred soldiers guarding the bridge and the ferries were completely wiped out. Not a single one escaped.
Princess Jung Yeon was sitting cross-legged on the south side of the suspension bridge when she suddenly felt the ground tremble.
"They're here …"
A quarter of an hour later, the densely packed horsemen surged to the south bank of Nu River like a tide.
Ashita Liren and Yan Yan stopped their horses and raised their right hands.
Immediately, more than twenty thousand horsemen began to slow down and stop!
"All battle formations are to cross the river along the suspension bridge and the ferries in units of a hundred."
Following the two's orders, the densely packed horsemen began to cross the river in an orderly manner.
Each suspension bridge could carry no more than fifteen horsemen. Each ferry could carry fifteen horsemen. After the warhorses boarded, they immediately covered their eyes and the horsemen hugged their necks to pacify them.
At this time, the gap between the two groups of horsemen could be seen.
Whether the Rouran warhorses crossed the suspension bridge or rode the ferries, they were very quiet.
Tianshui City's horsemen were already very elite, but when they rode the ferries, they were still somewhat restless.
After crossing Nu River, the soldiers did not stop and immediately used the small castle on the north bank of Nu River to set up defenses. They were ready to defend against Guiqinqu's army from the north at any time.
… …
Nanlin Castle was seventy li away from Nu River and one hundred and thirty li away from Linhai City. It could be considered the southernmost defensive fortress of Linhai City and was the only way to attack Linhai City.
At this time, Gui Xingfu's second son, Guiqinqu, led fifteen thousand soldiers from Linhai City and was stationed in Nanlin Castle, awaiting orders.
As long as Messy Rock Island was captured, Zhi Li's order to quell the rebellion was issued and the fifteen thousand soldiers from Linhai City would immediately move south.
Duke Meng Wei would attack from the west of the Storm Fortress while Duke Turin Tuo would attack from the south from Sky Wolf Pass. Gui Xingfu's forty thousand navy would continue south after capturing Messy Rock Island's saltworks, landing at Tianshui City and attacking from the east.
At that time, four hundred thousand soldiers would attack Tianshui City from all four directions. It could be said to be an ambush from ten sides.
Even an immortal wouldn't be able to save the Suo Clan!
"Are there any movements from Guiqinqu's army?" Søren asked.
Jung Yeon said, "They are still in Nanlin Castle and there are no movements. However, they sent out many waves of scouts, but they were all killed by us."
Søren looked at the peerlessly beautiful Princess Jung Yeon and said with a smile, "Yan, you are a princess, my lord, and the future king. In the end, I used you as an assassin. One moment, I ordered you to save Gui Qinshao, the next moment, I ordered you to seize the bridge, and the next moment, I ordered you to capture people. "
Princess Jung Yeon said with a smile, "Who asked my husband to be so capable? Even if I become the queen in the future, you can order me to be an assassin, a scout, or anything else. "
Next, Jung Yeon looked at Ashita Liren on the warhorse and said, "I didn't expect Liren City Lord to be so noble and unsullied. In such a crisis, she actually disregarded the safety of her family and went all out to help. "
"She is a silly woman." Søren said.
Suddenly, Jung Yeon's beautiful eyes flickered and she said, "My husband, it has been five days! Your waist doesn't hurt anymore, right? "
"Cough …" Søren nodded in embarrassment.
"You come …" Jung Yeon said, then pulled Søren's hand and went into the forest.
"Yan, this, this is not good." Søren said with a trembling voice.
"Don't worry, I will keep my voice down, let's hurry up." Jung Yeon said.
After going into the depths of the forest, Jung Yeon lifted her skirt and propped her delicate body against a tree trunk. She stuck out her snow-white buttocks and said in a trembling voice, "My husband, come quickly, I am really dying of hunger."
Looking at her beautiful face, which was incomparably charming, and the round full moon was like snow rubbed on the fat, Soran's body suddenly burned with flames, and like a hungry tiger pouncing on a sheep, he wanted to eat the fairy princess alive.
Half an hour later.
Princess Jung Yeon came out of the forest as if nothing had happened, but Søren had a guilty conscience.
"Yan, in the future, don't do this kind of occasion, it is easy to delay the business." Søren said.
Princess Jung Yeon said, "I have calculated, today is the day I can easily conceive, if I can still give birth."
Her words were somewhat dejected.
She had been educated by the Dragon Temple's Saintess and became emotionless. She was worried that she had lost the ability of a normal woman to give birth.
"You can definitely give birth." Søren said, "You are even crazier than a normal woman now."
Jung Yeon gave him a coquettish look, then said, "But even if I can't give birth, there is still sister Nair. In short, as long as it is my husband's child, I can pretend that I gave birth to it, there is no fear that there will be no successor in the future."
Søren said, "You speak as if we are going to win the throne now."
Jung Yeon gently nestled into Søren's arms, softly said, "We have already won more than half. After Waterfront City, it is time for us to attack like a thunderstorm. You in Luanyang City, in the Turing family's cloth, it is enough to deal a fatal blow to Zhi Li. Zhi Li looks awe-inspiring, but it is obvious that he has lost. "
Søren was startled, said, "Yan, you are really smart. In the future, even without me, you can still rule the whole kingdom. "
"No." Jung Yeon shook her head, said, "After becoming the queen, I am only responsible for two things, I do not care about the rest."
"What two things?" Søren asked.
Jung Yeon said, "The first is to give birth, and the second is for you to take."
The last three words made Sauron's heart feel like it was being tugged.
"Actually, it is the same thing." Søren said.
Jung Yeon's eyes suddenly flickered, saying in a sweet voice, "It will take a few hours to completely cross the river. Let's … go into the forest and chat for a while."
"No, no …" Søren hurriedly ran away, saying, "I will go watch the army cross the river!"
Jung Yeon covered her mouth and smiled, incomparably charming.
Then, she sat cross-legged on the ground, closed her eyes, and her beautiful face once again became transcendent, as if it had transcended the mortal world.
Two hours later!
The twenty-five thousand soldiers all crossed the river.
Once again, they gathered the troops and swept towards Nanlin Castle in the north.
… …
Inside Nanlin Castle, Guiqin Canal was somewhat restless.
That was because the scouts sent to the ferry and the suspension bridge had not returned.
All of a sudden, he did not know whether to continue to guard or to send troops south.
After weighing the pros and cons, he dispatched a thousand cavalrymen to the suspension bridge and the ferry, increasing the number of troops protecting the suspension bridge and the castle.
At this time, the entire Waterfront City's fifteen thousand ground troops were temporarily under his control. At present, his main task at Guiqin Canal was to protect the suspension bridge.
When the real attack on Tianshui City came, it would still be his elder brother Guiqin who would lead this army of fifteen thousand people.
However, even if they attacked Tianshui City, his Waterfront Army would only be there to play a supporting role. The real battle would be fought by Yuan Shiwei and Tuling Tuo.
But after the war, his Waterfront Gui Clan wanted to divide the largest piece. Three hundred li north of Tianshui City would be given to his Gui Clan.
After all, this war was nominally started by Waterfront City.
However, the one thousand cavalrymen he dispatched six hours ago had not returned with any news, truly making him somewhat restless.
But in his heart, he was not too worried. He absolutely did not believe that Tianshui City would take the initiative to attack.
Because Søren was already dead, Tianshui City was like a group of dragons without a leader. Moreover, they were about to face the siege of four hundred thousand troops. There was not enough time to escape, so how could they have the courage to counterattack?
And at this time!
He suddenly felt the ground shake, the chandelier above his head also began to shake, and the wine glasses on the table began to tremble.
"Is it an earthquake?" Guiqinqu asked doubtfully.
And at this time, a soldier of Waterfront City howled in fear outside.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack … …"
Guiqinqu's heart trembled. Where did the enemy come from? He quickly rushed out of the room, went up the battlements, and looked out.
Immediately, he saw a black line appear on the southern horizon.
Then, densely packed and endless cavalrymen surged over like a tide.
Guiqinqu's entire body was ice-cold, and he could not stop trembling.
This, where did this cavalry come from? How could Tianshui City have so many cavalrymen?
Half an hour later, twenty-five thousand cavalrymen arrived at the city.
Guiqinqu shouted loudly on top of the city wall, "It is useless for the cavalry to attack the city. We have fifteen thousand troops, and they only have twenty thousand. Everyone knows that a siege battle requires at least double the number of troops. The enemy has no siege equipment, nor do they have siege ladders. We will win this battle for sure. "
"Inside our castle, there is enough food, enough weapons, enough boiling oil, and enough arrows."
"No matter how many enemies there are, we will kill them all!"
"No matter who they are, behind us stands His Highness Zhi Li. Duke Turintuo's hundreds of thousands of troops have already set out, and Duke Meng Wei's hundreds of thousands of troops are only two to three hundred li away. As long as we hold out for three days, the enemy will definitely die! "
"All archers, draw your bows and nocked your arrows. Once the enemy enters our firing range, send them to hell!"
Immediately, over ten thousand soldiers drew their bows and nocked their arrows.
Countless giant crossbows opened, and catapults were pulled.
Even in a hurry, the entire Nanlin Castle was armed to the teeth.
A few hundred meters away from the castle, Søren raised his head and looked into the distance.
Although this castle was not big, its defenses were airtight. If they were to forcefully attack it, who knew how many lives would be lost.
Søren slightly narrowed his eyes and shouted loudly, "Attack the castle, finish the battle within six hours!"
"Yes!"
Immediately, five griffins flapped their wings and flew high. Each griffin flew north, carrying a few hundred kilograms of gunpowder.
When they were a few hundred meters above Nanlin Castle, the warriors above ignited the gunpowder and smashed it towards the castle.
Looking at the black dot descending from the sky, Guiqinqu was startled. What was this thing?
Could a mere dozen of these things smash people to death?
Soon, these dozens of things fell to the ground. It turned out to be a bundle of cloth. What a joke.
However, in the next second …
"Boom, boom, boom, boom …"
The cloth bundle that was smashed down produced an earth-shattering explosion.
Terrifying flames and huge fireballs surged up violently.
At every point of explosion, the people within a few dozen meters were smashed into pieces, and their corpses flew everywhere.
Immediately, Guiqinqu felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He could not believe the scene in front of him.
