The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 437: out of town
Chapter 437 Leaving the City Immediately
Bai Qingyan turned her head to look at the ships of varying sizes, then looked back at Longyang City, pursed her lips and said nothing. She had originally suggested to Liu Hong that the number of ships was limited…she should split her forces with General Fu, and General Fu should stay behind to lead his troops by boat to destroy the dying Liang army in Longyang City.
She led her troops to bypass Longyang City and head towards Puwen City and the central part of Longyang City, waiting for the Liang army to be defeated and then killing them all. Only in this way, after the battle, would the Liang soldiers be frightened by the Jin army’s flags and dare not advance.
But Liu Hong felt it was too risky, especially as it was raining heavily and the road ahead was unclear. He was afraid that something might happen to Bai Qingyan.
For Liu Hong, it was not necessary to completely defeat the State of Liang in one go. While ensuring Bai Qingyan’s safety, he would slowly take back the lost Pu Wen City and Chun Mu City step by step, and then drive the State of Liang back.
General Liu Hong was cautious, and Bai Qingyan did not force him, after all, General Liu Hong was the commander-in-chief.
However, if the Liang army was given room to retreat to Puwen City in this battle, there was a possibility that the Liang army would send reinforcements from the country and fight back, which would really deplete the Jin army’s strength.
Compared with the State of Jin, which had just lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the battle in southern Xinjiang, Daliang, which was adjacent to the sea in the north and was only bordered by the State of Jin and Rongdi… was at a good time to expand its territory. Daliang had strong soldiers and horses and Rongdi had already fallen into civil strife. If she were the emperor of Liang, she would not miss this opportunity.
After all, opportunity never comes again.
Bai Qingyan had already analyzed the interests with Liu Hong. He only hoped that Liu Hong could think it through during the withdrawal and send troops to bypass Longyang City and head to the middle of Puwen City and Longyang City to prevent Xun Tianzhang from asking Puwen City for help.

The Liang army almost turned a house with the words “Xiao’s House” upside down, but they still couldn’t find anything after digging the ground and smashing the walls.
Although they were obviously exhausted, the Liang soldiers who broke into Xiao’s residence moved as if they were competing. No one was willing to rest, for fear of missing out on the treasures hidden in the Xiao residence by Xiao Rongyan, the richest businessman in the world.
I don’t know if it’s because the rainstorm was so heavy that the city’s canals couldn’t drain water in time, but the water in Longyang City is already above people’s ankles and is gradually rising.
Xun Tianzhang and his son were resting on the pavilion and had not noticed anything unusual. However, Zhao Sheng, who had rescued his brother from prison, had noticed something unusual while taking care of his brother and immediately called the Zhao family army over.
Zhao Sheng had already moved Zhao Tong to the second floor, kneeling under the lights. The general of the Zhao family army, who was covered in dampness, went upstairs, knelt on one knee and saluted Zhao Sheng: “General!”
“I vaguely heard people outside say that after they rushed into the city…there was not a single civilian or Jin soldier to be seen?!” Zhao Sheng asked.
“Of course. Our Liang army has wiped out all the Jin army. How could the Jin army dare to stay?!” said the burly general proudly.
The seemingly gentle general spoke truthfully: “Not really. Some Jin soldiers who failed to escape have been killed by us. It’s just that after entering the city, everyone was busy robbing treasures, so many Jin soldiers escaped!”
Zhao Sheng frowned, lowered his eyes and thought carefully: “People… did you see it?!”
The generals kneeling in the attic looked at each other, and no one seemed to pay attention to the common people. Even if there were common people, they were not Liang people, so they would naturally kill them with a sword. Who would pay attention to this? !
Seeing the looks of several generals, Zhao Sheng stood up suddenly: “Something happened!”
Zhao Sheng did not dare to delay and immediately rushed downstairs towards where the commander Xun Tianzhang was.
At the hour of Yin, the Liang soldiers guarding the city walls couldn’t help but complain. Even the last people from the baggage camp who entered the city had gone everywhere to collect valuables, but they still had to guard the city in the heavy rain.
Who among them didn’t want to see how luxurious the golden eagle beast used by the richest businessman in the world to protect his house was? They also wanted to go up and take off a gem, so that they could go back and honor their mother, and maybe even marry a wife.
“Forget it, stop complaining. We are soldiers under General Xun’s command. We never get to take advantage, but we are always the first to risk our lives!” Liang Zu sighed and looked into the distance.
“Look…what is that?!”
“It’s raining so hard and it’s dark, what can you see?” A Liang soldier joked with a smile, but he also leaned over to look in the direction his comrade pointed.
In the distance, there was a black mass running wildly in the rainstorm, like a herd of frightened cattle, unstoppable, rushing towards us with the roaring sound of a flood. The huge waves were carrying broken branches and rocks, rushing towards us rapidly!
The rushing flood slammed violently against the city gates and walls, and quickly squeezed into the city through the gaps in the gates. The impact was deafening.
“Flood! It’s a flood!” The Liang army shouted and immediately blew trumpets and beat drums.
The Liang soldiers who were guarding the city turned around and shouted towards the city: “The flood is coming! The flood is coming!”
But the sound of the rain and the flood was too loud, almost drowning out the shouts of the Liang soldiers. The huge rocks and trees caught in the flood smashed heavily on the heavy city gate, wave after wave, almost breaking it open.
The Liang soldier hurriedly came down from the city wall and was about to rush to where the commander was, but when he came down from the city wall, the flood had already reached his waist and was still rising rapidly.
The wall of Longyang City is only two meters high. At this rate, the wall will soon be submerged.
“The flood is coming! The flood is coming!” The soldiers guarding the city shouted everywhere.
Liang Zu, who was still searching for treasure in Xiao’s house, felt that the water was rising too fast. However, after just a few words, the water had already reached above his knees and was still rising. Hearing the faint sounds of horns and drums coming from the heavy rain, even the most dull-witted person could sense that something was unusual.
As Zhao Sheng walked to the door of the pavilion where Xun Tianzhang was, he heard the sound of horns and drums coming from the direction of the city wall. The sound was not very obvious amid the sound of heavy rain, but it still woke Xun Tianzhang up.
“Someone come!”
Xun Tianzhang’s voice came from inside the house, and the guards guarding downstairs hurriedly responded and went upstairs.
Zhao Sheng hurriedly followed, “Commander-in-Chief! Something happened! I think this is a trap set by the Jin army! We, the Liang army, did not see any civilians when we entered the city, which means that the civilians had already been evacuated by the Jin army in advance. I’m afraid our intention to flood the Jin army has been discovered. We need to leave the city as soon as possible!”
Xun Tianzhang calmed down and asked again: “What’s going on with the beating drums at the city gate?!”
“Father, I don’t know yet! I have sent someone to check it out!” said Xun Tianzhang’s son.
Xun Tianzhang’s heart was beating fast at this moment. He put on his boots and said, “Let the soldiers gather and leave the city immediately!”
The person sent by Xun Tianzhang’s son to investigate the city gate, just as he walked to the long street, heard the sound of the heavy city gate being hit repeatedly. Before he could react, the city gate was suddenly knocked open and hit heavily on the city wall.
