The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1143: Boiling against the sky
Chapter 1143: The Sky is in Turmoil
Seeing Feng Yao walking away, Wei Zhong stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty, my servants haven’t looked for Miss Chunzhi’s handkerchief yet, but the son of the governor of Pingyang City has brought it here, saying that he found it by accident today, and he also said that he wants to join the army and serve Your Majesty.”
The son of the Pingyang City governor is quite interesting. I wonder if he really likes Chunzhi or just likes Chunzhi’s identity as a personal maid of the Emperor of the Great Zhou.
“Take him to General Yang Wuce. If General Yang Wuce is willing to accept him, treat him as an ordinary soldier. Tell him… Even if he is the son of the governor, he can’t even think of being the imperial guard. Even the grandson of General Lu started out as an ordinary soldier and nearly lost his life several times. Let him decide for himself whether he dares to join the army or not.”
“yes!”

The heavy snow has stopped, and both sides of the rushing Danshui River are covered in white.
The army of the Great Zhou Dynasty winding along the east side of the Danshui River was like a black tide, particularly eye-catching among the snow.
The black sail and white python flag with gold edges were held high, fluttering in the wind. Bai Qingyu and Yang Wuce led the heavily armored cavalry in the front, followed by the carriage of the Emperor of the Great Zhou, and the infantry army followed closely behind, their armor dazzling.
The spies sent out from Quanya City first saw the Yan army advancing eastward from the north side of the Dan Shui River, and now they saw the Zhou army advancing eastward from the south side of the Dan Shui River. They finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Zhou and Yan armies had left, and at least Quanya City was saved for now.
At this time, the great wizard disciple in the Dog Fang City wrapped himself tightly in a black cloak, leaving only his face exposed under the hood.
Just as he expected, the monarch of their Tianfeng Kingdom had already left Quanya City for fear of an attack from the Great Zhou and the Yan Kingdom, but fortunately… his majesty had someone leave him some instructions before leaving.
Now their Majesty is heading east to meet General Akshay, but he has received news… The armies of Great Zhou and Yan have also set out for the east. If General Akshay is anxious to meet up with His Majesty, he will run into the coalition forces of Great Zhou and Yan, which will be bad.
He thought that they should retreat to the other side of the snow mountain first in order to preserve their strength, and wait until the master of this land was born and spring came… then the Tianfeng Kingdom would lead the elephant army to attack. Only then would the Tianfeng Kingdom have the best of time, place and people.
He needed to catch up with Sar Khan as soon as possible, so he suggested that Sar Khan turn back to the direction of the snow mountain passage and send someone to deliver a message to General Akshay, asking him to lead the elephant army back to Tianfeng Kingdom.
Putting aside the fact that the owner chosen by the gods for this land has not yet appeared, it is now winter, and the Great Zhou and Yan have learned to use pungent smells to deal with the giant elephants. It is not a wise move to go to war with the Great Zhou and Yan at this time.
The disciple of the great wizard borrowed a horse from the general defending the Dog’s Tooth City, and with a high fever and a weak body, he went out of the city to chase Sar Khan.
Before leaving, the great witch’s disciple warned the Xiliang general defending Quanya City not to think that they could rest easy after the armies of Great Zhou and Great Yan left. Great Zhou and Great Yan would never let them Xiliang defend the natural barrier of Danshui River. According to the people of Yan and Zhou… this Quanya City is a place that military strategists must fight for.
But obviously, the Xiliang defenders of the Quanya City did not take the words of the Great Witch’s disciple to heart. They just felt that the people of the Tianfeng Kingdom were no better than them without the Xiang Army. They were really scared by the Great Zhou and the Yan Kingdom!
When night falls, the surroundings are quiet with only the sound of wind and snow.
The sentinels of Quanya City were finally dispersed as the main forces of Dayan and Dazhou withdrew. They all gathered together, sitting around the campfire, using a copper kettle for boiling tea, and roasting peanuts and potatoes with the still hot ashes.
The sentry, who was using a wooden stick to pick out the roasted potatoes from the charcoal ash, vaguely sensed that something was wrong around him. He threw the potatoes to a companion, stood up and walked towards the Danshui River. The other sentries also stood up and stepped on the peanut shells under their feet, making crackling sounds.
There was a strange atmosphere in the darkness on the other side of the Danshui River.
Before the sentry could react, an arrow suddenly flew through the air and hit the sentry’s heart.
The flames of the bonfire were dancing up and down, making the faces of the three sentinels who stood up glow red. Countless arrows followed and flew straight towards the three men.
The campfire was dodged left and right by the arrows and swayed wildly.
The three men didn’t even have the chance to scream before they were shot like hedgehogs and fell to the ground.
Soon, a boat quietly came from the other side of the Danshui River and pulled up a pontoon bridge. The soldiers crossed the Danshui River one after another quickly and orderly and headed towards the direction of Quanya City.
The flames of the bonfire were carried by the wind as the soldiers rushed towards the Dog Tooth City… trembling and pointing in the direction of the Dog Tooth City, as if giving the Dog Tooth City a final warning.
But the soldiers of Quanya City had been on edge for several days, thinking that Great Zhou and Yan would attack. However, today they saw the Yan army and the Zhou army leaving along the Danshui River one after another. The tension in their hearts suddenly relaxed, and they were even less alert than usual. They did not notice the abnormality of the campfire at all, but thought it was caused by the wind.
It was not until the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty had already reached the foot of the city wall that they discovered that the Great Zhou Dynasty was attacking the city and sounded the alarm.
“Da Zhou is attacking the city! Archers, get ready! Kerosene, get ready!”
The sound of the horn was accompanied by the terrified shouts of the Xiliang soldiers. The entire Quanya City, which had just been calm, was like hot water poured into oil, and it suddenly boiled over.
The Xiliang soldiers who were sitting in the barracks, warming themselves by the fire and chatting, immediately grabbed their weapons and rushed to the top of the city wall.
But it’s too late…
When Bai Jinzhi captured Pingdu City, Xiliang knew that the Great Zhou had a very peculiar shield soldier, which could be regarded as a siege weapon. No one knew what method was used, and neither swords, arrows nor kerosene were effective!
Seeing that the strange shield soldiers in the rumors had begun to climb the city wall, the Xiliang soldiers put all their efforts into throwing stones and shooting arrows, but the combined shield surface was a slope, and the stones could not do anything to them.
Shen Kunyang and Bai Jinzhi rode their horses behind the army. Seeing that the Shuoyang army was about to climb the city wall, Bai Jinzhi immediately asked Shen Kunyang for orders: “General, let me lead the troops to attack! Open the city gate for you!”
Bai Jinzhi sat down peacefully and kicked the horse’s hooves, wishing he could rush out right now. He was even more excited than Bai Jinzhi.
However, Shen Kunyang shouted to Cheng Yuanzhi who was standing on his left: “Cheng Yuanzhi! Attack the city!”
Cheng Yuanzhi responded with a determined look, and suddenly drew out the sword from his waist. His voice as deep as a bell rang out outside the Canine Tooth City: “Soldiers of the Great Zhou! The dog thieves of Xiliang have been traitors to the people of the Great Zhou. Today… we must avenge the dead people and brothers! Kill!”
“kill!”
The soldiers of the Great Zhou were all eager to fight.
