At the critical moment, Shi Naga's order changed the morale of the battlefield, causing King of Jieri's side to be in a passive position.
The soldiers under his command were already in a situation where they could not win.
When King of Jieri saw this scene, his expression was still calm. There was no panic. He looked at Abdo and ordered, "Abdo, mobilize the elephant soldiers under your command and use them to crush the other party. Shi Naga thinks that he is infallible, but he forgot that our elephant soldiers can still pass through this place. We already have more than a thousand elephant soldiers under our command, which is enough to win. This batch of elephant soldiers, charge over from the left wing of the battlefield and cut off Shi Naga's retreat. "
"Yes!"
Abdo immediately gave the order.
As the order was given, the messenger passed it to the rear in the blink of an eye. A moment later, a thousand elephant soldiers had already charged out from the rear and circled around from the left wing of the battlefield.
The thousand elephant soldiers under King of Jieri were the foundation of King of Jieri's subordinates. When he was in Mount Mo, he had sixty thousand elephant soldiers under his command, a total of ten thousand elephants. They could be said to be the strongest elephant soldiers in Tianzhu.
Until now, there were only five hundred elephants, and each elephant had two soldiers on its back. These thousand elephant soldiers were actually soldiers who had fled back, as well as the support of some Brahmin and Kshatriya races along the way. That was why they had such a force.
Compared to the sixty thousand elephant soldiers of the past, this batch of elephant soldiers' combat strength was much weaker. Even so, the appearance of the elephant soldiers was invincible on the battlefield. A giant elephant that was more than ten feet tall and had an incomparably strong physique. When it stepped on the ground, even the ground began to tremble.
As long as King of Jieri's elephant soldiers penetrated Shi Naga's rear, they could directly cut off his retreat.
Seeing this, the corners of Shi Naga's mouth curled into a smile. He remained calm.
King of Jieri had elephant soldiers.
He also had them.
After all, elephant soldiers were the last trump card in Jieri State. No one was willing to give up such a method.
Shi Naga did not immediately give the order. Instead, he looked at Amir and said, "Mr. Amir, King of Jieri has already sent the elephant soldiers out. We should be able to send out the elephant soldiers, right? "
Amir said with a smile, "Your Highness, feel free to attack. As long as you can stop King of Jieri's elephant soldiers, even if our elephant soldiers can't win, we can still win this battle. Whether or not we can take control of Jieri depends on this. "
A look of anticipation appeared on Shi Naga's face.
The opportunity had come.
Shi Naga immediately gave the order.
As the order was conveyed, a rumbling sound could be heard from the rear of the army. A group of elephant soldiers under Shi Naga also charged out from behind. There were a total of one thousand and two hundred elephant soldiers in this troop, which was slightly stronger than the elephant soldiers under King Jieri's command. The 1,200 elephant soldiers went out to battle and soon encountered the 1,000 elephant soldiers under King of Jieri. Both sides began to clash.
Amir saw this and believed that this battle had already ended.
King of Jieri should have lost.
Both sides had already used all their means, but King of Jieri's methods were caught off guard and unprepared. The soldiers were now suppressed. Although the difference in numbers between the two sides was not large and victory could not be determined in a short time, King of Jieri's elephant soldiers would definitely not be able to hold on as time went on. Therefore, it was impossible for King of Jieri to win this battle.
Amir scanned the surroundings. At present, the tens of thousands of men under Shi Naga's command were probably gone by now. There were countless casualties.
The battle between the two sides was still ongoing.
Amir said, "Your Highness, prepare to arrange for soldiers to attack King of Jieri's position. Although the elephant soldiers on King of Jieri's side are still fighting, King of Jieri's infantry is already beginning to lose. Next, King of Jieri might escape. We must act now to prevent King of Jieri from leaving. "
Shi Naga felt that this made sense. Once the King of Jieri escaped, he would definitely not be able to sit on the throne with his influence. Therefore, he had to capture the King of Jieri.
Shi Naga immediately ordered a group of soldiers to attack King of Jieri.
The King of Jieri and Abdo were together.
There were also soldiers protecting them.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, especially with his soldiers beginning to crumble, King of Jieri clenched his fists, his expression extremely ugly. He had never imagined that he would encounter such a situation.
It was simply a great humiliation.
At present, the King of Jieri was temporarily powerless to reverse the situation. Even though the King of Jieri was constantly giving orders to go all out, even though the King of Jieri was constantly passing down orders, his soldiers still found it difficult to suppress the trend of fleeing.
Abdo advised, "Your Majesty, let's retreat. Let's retreat first and avoid Shi Naga's sharp edge. As long as Your Majesty avoids this calamity, it will be easy to defeat Shi Naga next. After all, Your Majesty has unparalleled prestige in Jieri Nation. This is something that no one can compare to. "
"No, we can't retreat!"
King of Jieri gritted his teeth and shook his head. "If we retreat now, the consequences will be unimaginable. The people of the various nations were intimidated by my pressure and didn't dare to resist me. Previously, when I was defeated, and because Du Qi abolished the caste system, no one dared to do anything to me along the way south because they needed me. "
"Now that Shi Naga has rebelled and he has stepped forward, the people of the various nations have a backbone. They will definitely attack me."
"Right now, we have no way out."
King of Jieri said in a deep voice, "This King must defeat Shi Naga. Only then can I protect myself. Even though Shi Naga has slightly more elephant soldiers, our elephant soldiers have never shown any signs of defeat. Abdo, do you think we can retreat? "
Abdo immediately fell silent.
What King of Jieri said was indeed true. If they really retreated, King of Jieri's life would be in danger.
King of Jieri said again, "Sir, what should we do now? In this battle, we must turn the situation around. We must obtain victory. If we lose, it will be difficult for both of us to survive. "
Abdo quickly thought and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, if we want to win now, we can only boost the morale again. The only way is to give them a taste of their own medicine. "
"Shi Naga rewarded and encouraged the soldiers under his command. Then we should also use the method of rewarding and encouraging the soldiers. Especially when we have some Brahmin and Kshatriya under our command. They still have some people. "
"It's just that these people's forces are all slacking and have never really fought with their full strength. Therefore, right now, we are using rewards to encourage everyone. Even if we break the caste system, even if we make a big change, as long as we can win, I think we can give it a try. "
Abdo suggested.
King of Jieri nodded. Abdo's words made sense.
Immediately, King of Jieri looked at the messenger and ordered, "Send orders to all soldiers. As long as we win this battle, everyone will be promoted by three ranks. They will be rewarded with a residence, ten mu of farmland, cloth, and food. In addition, they will be exempt from taxes for life. If they can kill the enemy general, I will give them noble status. If they can kill Shi Naga and Barney, I will give them a piece of land and make them the ruler of a country. This order also applies to the people of the various races. "
After speaking, King of Jieri waved his hand, and the messenger immediately went to pass down the order.
After the general meaning was passed down, the soldiers under his command began to boil with excitement. The Brahmin and Kshatriya who had followed King of Jieri also began to fight with all their might.
They had previously led people north to resist Du Qi. Only by defeating Du Qi would they have the chance to be granted a country. But now, they only needed to take down Shi Naga and Barney to have this chance.
All of them were willing to go all out.
Under the counterattack of King Jieri's army, the situation where they had been losing ground was quickly reversed. This was especially true for the Brahmin and Kshatriya families under King of Jieri's command. After they joined in, the situation began to reverse.
Shi Naga's side was beginning to lose.
At this moment, Shi Naga began to panic.
The same was true for Barney.
No one had expected that the troops under King Jieri would turn the tables bit by bit and turn the situation around bit by bit when they already had the upper hand.
Seeing this, Amir couldn't help but sigh.
Amazing!
Truly amazing!
As expected of the older ginger, the spicier it was!
Earlier, Amir had already predicted that there would be no suspense in this battle. King of Jieri was definitely going to lose. But now, King of Jieri's side suddenly changed and made adjustments.
Not only did they boost morale, but even the Brahmin and Kshatriya families by King of Jieri's side immediately changed and went all out.
As a result, the situation suddenly changed.
Shi Naga swallowed his saliva and began to panic. He turned to look at Barney and asked, "Teacher, the situation is very bad for us. What should we do?"
Barney looked at Amir and said, "Mr. Amir, do you have any ideas?"
Amir said, "The only thing we can do now is to fight to the death and continue to wear down King of Jieri's forces. Then, when we really can't hold on anymore, we'll immediately retreat and retreat to Qunv City. Qunv City is still in our hands. Although we don't have much power, the problem is that King of Jieri doesn't have many soldiers either. "
After a pause, Amir continued, "So, we still have a good chance. We can still win this battle. As long as King of Jieri can't return to the city, everything will be easy. "
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Hearing this, Shi Naga hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Barney had no other choice and could only agree. Even if Barney felt that Amir's suggestion wasn't a good strategy, under the current circumstances, it was the best method.
Shi Naga continuously encouraged everyone and called for them to go all out.
Continue to resist.
Time passed bit by bit amidst such a battle.
In the blink of an eye, three hours passed.
The forces of both sides were greatly weakened. Especially in this place where the battle took place. Corpses were strewn everywhere and soaked in blood. Even the ground was covered in pools of blood.
The elephant soldiers of both sides had also suffered countless losses. However, although the elephant soldiers under King of Jieri's command had high morale, they were slightly fewer in number. Although they had turned the situation around, the elephant soldiers were evenly matched. For the time being, there was no clear victor.
As the infantry of both sides fought, Shi Naga's side became increasingly weaker.
They were still resisting.
Stubbornly holding on.
Shi Naga gritted his teeth and clenched his fists when he saw the battle. Because at the moment, there were only a few thousand people left on both sides. There weren't many left on either side. There were corpses all around, and the smell of blood permeated the air.
Amir saw all of this, and a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes. Because everything that was happening now was his plan. It was all caused by him. But this trace of reluctance was replaced by determination in the blink of an eye.
This was a path that had to be taken.
To abolish the caste system, to establish a foothold in Qu Nu City, and to make the various Brahmin and Kshatriya races bow their heads, they had to consume their strength. Only in this way could they reverse the situation in Qu Nu City and change everything in Tianzhu.
Only then could he and Devadatta complete the mission.
The battle continued.
In the afternoon, there were less than three thousand troops on both sides, but Shi Naga's side had already begun to collapse. Whether it was the elephant soldiers or the infantry, they had begun to collapse. They could no longer stop King of Jieri's attack, and they no longer had the strength to continue fighting.
Shi Naga ordered, "Retreat!"
As the order was given, the army began to retreat.
However, the moment they retreated, they were ambushed. Especially at a time like this, everyone only cared about themselves and ran as fast as they could. Under such circumstances, King of Jieri ordered a mad pursuit. Shi Naga, Barney, and the others were all thinking about retreating, and did not dare to delay.
With one side chasing and one side fleeing, the formation had long been messed up.
It was precisely during this process of retreat that some soldiers gradually gathered around Amir along the way. These people were under Amir's command, and they had come midway.
Amir's original plan was that if Amir won, he would bring the people around him along when he started to return, so that it would be easier to deal with Shi Naga in the end. Now that he was retreating, he would also bring his own people along. They would also be the ones to act at the end.
The Hidden Tiger Slope was not far from Melody City, so it did not take long for them to reach the city.
From afar, Shi Naga gave the order to open the city.
Creak!
The city gates opened, and Shi Naga led the thousand or so soldiers who had fled with him into the city. In the end, Shi Naga had still had three thousand soldiers by his side. On the way back, many people had already scattered, so there were only a thousand or so soldiers by his side. After everyone entered, the city gates closed with a creak.
Shi Naga said, "Come, let's go up the city gate tower."
After King of Jieri's men left, the four sides of Melody City had been directly taken over by soldiers. Although Shi Naga had not left many soldiers behind to guard the four sides of the city gate tower, it was still a force.
Now, it was enough to defend the city.
This was Shi Naga's idea.
Shi Naga and Barney began to head up the city gate tower, but the thousand or so soldiers who had fled with them had temporarily collapsed below the city gate tower to rest. All of them were panting for breath. None of them could take it anymore.
When Amir went up the city gate tower, the people by his side followed him to the top of the city gate tower along with Shi Naga and Barney.
The person guarding the city gate tower was called Delonka.
Although he was said to be guarding the city gate tower, he was actually a Barushi. The reason he was able to become the general guarding the city gate was because Shi Naga's side lacked talented people, and Delonka had always been guarding the city gate.
In order to guard the city gate, Shi Naga had promoted Delonka to guard the city gate. Unfortunately, Delonka was one of Vadhara's men. This promotion allowed Devadatta to easily take control of the city.
Shi Naga said, "Delonka, you must defend the city. His Majesty's forces are about to arrive. We must defend it. "
Delonka said, "Yes!"
Before long, the King of Jieri had returned.
There were more than three thousand people by the King of Jieri's side, all of them valiant and high-spirited. After all, the King of Jieri had agreed to this battle. He looked up at the city gate tower and called out, "This King has returned. Guards on the city gate tower, listen up. This King orders you to immediately open the gates and surrender. As long as you kill Shi Naga and open the gates, this King will grant you a piece of land as your vassal state. "
At this moment, the King of Jieri felt that he was completely confident.
The reason was simple: he had a lot of prestige.
Shi Naga heard this and sneered, "King of Jieri, keep dreaming. The person guarding the city is my … "
Slash!
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound.
One of the guards next to Amir attacked, stabbing his sword into Shi Naga's back and through his chest, piercing through his heart. In truth, Shi Naga had maintained a certain distance from Delonka, just in case. However, Shi Naga hadn't expected Amir's men to attack him directly. He hadn't even considered this possibility.
Barney said, "Amir, you …"
He looked at Amir and opened his mouth to speak. A moment later, there was another slash as Delonka unsheathed his sword and stabbed it through Barney's heart.
Barney looked at Delonka, then at Amir. At this moment, his mind was completely blank.
What was going on?
The same situation appeared in Shikinaga's mind.
Why?
Why kill him?
Amir said calmly, "There's no why. We're His Majesty's men."
His voice wasn't loud, but when it reached Shi Naga and Barney's ears, it was like a thunderclap. Shi Naga and Barney's hearts were filled with regret at this moment. However, before they could think too much about it, all the information in their minds was swallowed up by endless darkness. Their bodies fell to the ground, and they no longer had any signs of life.
Delonka said, "Young Master!"
Amir waved his hand. "No need to be so formal. Toss Shi Naga and Barney's corpses out. Tell the King of Jieri that you've opened the gates and are willing to submit to the King of Jieri."
"Yes!"
Delonka immediately agreed.
Delonka immediately called out, "Your Majesty, I've already killed Shi Naga and Barney. Your Majesty, will you keep your promise? "
King of Jieri was overjoyed. "Of course. Open the gates immediately. This King's promise is still valid."
Delonka said, "Your Majesty, please enter the city."
With a wave of his hand, the soldiers tossed Shi Naga and Barney's corpses out. When the two corpses fell to the ground, the gates creaked open once more.
King of Jieri sent soldiers to investigate. When they confirmed Shi Naga's identity, the King of Jieri immediately relaxed, a brilliant smile on his face. He really was the King of Jieri. His prestige was unparalleled.
No one dared to disobey his orders.
King of Jieri said, "Abdo, if Shi Naga had fled to some other place, then so be it. I didn't expect him to court death and try to return to Melody City. He's courting death! This King has managed Melody City for decades. His prestige isn't something you can compare to. "
Abdo said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
At this moment, Abdo suddenly frowned. He had a bad premonition.
However, Abdo didn't know why.
"Enter the city!"
King of Jieri immediately entered the city.
The army majestically marched towards the city gates. When the entire army entered the city, the soldiers that belonged to Shi Naga were all terrified. They knelt to the side, not daring to move. King of Jieri didn't care about these lowly soldiers. He looked at the city gate tower and waited for Delonka to come down.
"Ka! Ka!! "
Suddenly, the sound of a mechanism vibrating could be heard.
King of Jieri didn't wait for Delonka to come down. Instead, he saw the thousand-pound gate at the city gates being lowered.
Clang!
The thousand-pound gate was lowered, blocking the city gates.
King of Jieri's heart thumped. He suddenly had a bad premonition because the situation in front of him made King of Jieri somewhat uncomfortable. At this moment, Amir, Devadatta, and Delonka had already walked out and came down from the city gate tower.
Amir walked at the front. He stood on the path and said, "King of Jieri, let me introduce myself. I am Amir, Vadhara's son. Today, I am under His Majesty's orders to act in Melody City. "
Boom!!!
King of Jieri's mind exploded.
His vision was blank.
At this moment, he was completely stunned. The person in charge of Melody City was Vadhara's son. And he was under Du Qi's orders to act in Melody City. This meant that he had fallen into the trap. Even the Shi Naga that was killed earlier was schemed against by Amir.
King of Jieri immediately recovered. He looked around with an anxious expression.
What should he do?
What should he do?
King of Jieri swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He said, "You, you, how did you sneak into Melody City?"
Amir said, "King of Jieri, are you trying to stall for time by asking this question? Let me tell you, that's impossible. My men are everywhere in the city, on all the streets. I have more than thirty thousand men under my command. It's impossible for you to escape. "
There were more than thirty thousand ordinary citizens in the city.
This was the most reliable number.
In fact, if Amir wanted to expand the number of people under his command, he could have increased it further. The reason was very simple. There were too many people who were being oppressed, and too many people wanted to resist. For safety's sake, only thirty thousand people participated in the operation.
King of Jieri's heart sank.
Amir smiled and continued, "Well, since our King of Jieri is interested, I'll tell you. In fact, when you, King of Jieri, sent your troops to the north, His Majesty had already arranged for me to go south to Melody City. "
King of Jieri said, "Du Qi is really amazing!"
Amir said, "His Majesty's talent is naturally far beyond yours, King of Jieri. Otherwise, how could you, King of Jieri, with more than two hundred thousand men, be defeated so easily in Mo Gaoshan? King of Jieri, resisting His Majesty is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. "
King of Jieri looked very embarrassed.
Because he was really defeated.
However, King of Jieri still had doubts in his mind. He said, "This is Melody City. Even if you want to cause trouble, especially if you want to work for Du Qi, many people won't be willing. Even if you incite the peasants, you won't have the chance. You, how did you plan it? "
This was what King of Jieri was puzzled.
He just couldn't figure out how Amir had planned the whole thing.
Amir said, "King of Jieri, it's actually very simple. After I arrived in Melody City early, because His Majesty abolished the caste system in Jiantuo State, countless people already admired His Majesty and wanted to get rid of their identity."
"Under this premise, I quickly gathered a group of forces. But it wasn't easy to act with this group of forces alone. Because in Melody City, the Brahmin and Kshatriya races are very strong. So, I lobbied Corpse Naga to deal with you. "
"In order to take control of Melody City, Corpse Naga sent your people out to meet you, and then he took control of Melody City. After that, Corpse Naga left with his people to kill you. "
"In the end, Melody City was empty."
"So, my people took advantage of the situation and took control of Melody City. As for the battlefield, it didn't matter who won or lost. If Corpse Naga won, I would've killed him directly. If Corpse Naga lost, it would've been the scene that happened now. "
Amir said, "So now, you should be very clear about it. This was the whole plan. "
King of Jieri was in despair after hearing this. He sighed with emotion and said, "Amazing, amazing. As expected of Vadhara's son. Vadhara didn't have much ability, but I didn't expect his son to be so good at scheming. Step by step, he easily gained control of Melody City without any effort. I didn't lose this battle unjustly. "
By now, King of Jieri knew that he had lost.
He only had a small number of troops under his command, and after the continuous fighting, he lost countless soldiers under his command and no longer had the ability to fight. At this point, it was impossible to turn the tables.
