The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

Chapter 109: Marquis Anding Arrives

War is about to break out.

Under Yun Zhi's command, the soldiers rushed towards the gate of the enemy county town in an unstoppable manner.

At this moment, the two generals Wu and Liu in the city were arguing endlessly due to the rumors and conflicts that had been going on for many days, and their relationship had reached a freezing point.

So they simply decided to fight on their own, each leading their own troops and having nothing to do with each other.

This sudden attack caught them off guard, and due to inconsistent decision-making, the entire situation instantly became a mess.

Soon, the Yun family army successfully approached the city gate and broke it open with a thunderous force.

Chen Yuanshu and Li Shun led the soldiers into the city.

The two men held weapons in their hands and moved agilely. Wherever they went, the enemies fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the soldiers following behind waved their weapons and rushed into the city without hesitation, engaging in a fierce battle with the enemy.

After a while.

The sounds of fighting gradually became quieter.

Chen Yuanshu and Li Shun came to Yunzhi.

"My Lord, Changning County has been successfully captured. Our next move is..."

The two of them raised their heads and looked at Yun Zhi with questioning eyes.

Yun Zhi rode on his horse, his eyes fixed on the fleeing enemy troops in the distance. He gently stroked the sword in his hand and said, "Leave some of you here to deal with the aftermath, and the rest will follow me."

Faced with this unexpected attack and the discord among the generals, the possibility of setting an ambush was extremely small.

The momentum is overwhelming.

In the next month, the Yun family army advanced as if they were in an empty land, and successfully invaded Shangyao County.

……

"Snapped"

The document containing the battle report was slammed heavily onto the desk, making a dull sound.

"You're useless. Not only did you fail to defeat the rebels after all this time, you even let them break into your home."

Marquis Anding looked at the document lying on the ground and was furious.

The staff standing below looked at each other, and for a moment no one dared to say a word, and they were as silent as a cicada.

Then a man came out and said, "Lord, calm down. Perhaps it was a mistake."

"A momentary failure? Is this a momentary failure? Not only did they lose the territory they had previously captured, but now they have even invaded my fiefdom."

"With over 50,000 troops, they couldn't even defeat their 30,000, and over 10,000 of them died. What else can we say but useless?"

Looking at the speechless and trembling crowd below, Marquis Anding walked back and forth a few steps and then stopped.

"Pick out some soldiers from the garrisons of each county, and I will go and meet them personally."

As soon as Marquis Anding finished speaking, the staff below showed expressions of horror and began to scramble to dissuade him.

"My Lord, this is absolutely not possible."

"My Lord, how can you, with your precious body, go to such a dangerous place?"

"I hope the Marquis will choose other generals to go."

Listening to the noisy noise below, Marquis Anding slammed his hand hard on the table, making a loud "bang".

"If we don't go now, should we wait until they kill us here before going?"

the other side.

Several people were discussing the tactics for the next siege.

Chen Yuanshu looked at the map on the table, frowning slightly. "Now we have entered Shangyao County, but it will only get harder and harder to fight from now on."

After all, the enemy is inside, where they have lived for so many years, and they know the terrain and topography like the back of their hand.

Li Shun, standing aside, remained motionless, staring intently at the map, his mind racing as he pondered a strategy. "Even if it's difficult, we have to fight. We will win, and we will definitely win."

"Of course we will win, there is no other outcome."

Listening to their conversation, Yun Zhi looked up at them for a moment.

My mentality is pretty good.

At this time.

"Report."

Yun Zhi straightened up and looked outside.

"Enter."

Hearing her voice, a soldier walked in quickly, "My lord, here is your letter."

"Put it there."

"Yes."

After putting the letter away, the soldiers walked out, and only the three of them were left here.

Yun Zhi glanced at the letter on the table, reached out to pick it up, opened it, and glanced at it.

"Marquis Anding is coming."

"Marquis of Anding?" Chen Yuanshu repeated.

"Now that we've entered his territory, he must be anxious and has come to fight in person, regardless of the danger."

Li Shun's expression grew serious. "It took some time for the letter to arrive here. The Marquis of Anding will probably arrive in the next day or two. The Marquis of Anding is not as easy to deal with as those generals."

Yun Zhi's expression didn't change much. After all, it was something she had expected a long time ago, so she wasn't surprised.

After destroying the secret letter in his hand, he said, "It's no use talking about this anymore. Let's discuss a countermeasure."

The day after tomorrow.

Marquis Anding led an army of 50,000 to the city.

On the city wall, Yun Zhi looked at the enemy army in the distance that was as dark as a cloud. Marquis Anding was preparing for a strong attack.

"be prepared."

Hearing Yun Zhi's words, the archers standing on both sides quickly nocked their arrows and prepared for battle.

When the troops approached.

"shoot."

In an instant, thousands of feather arrows flew towards the enemy like drizzle.

However, most of the attacks were blocked by soldiers holding shields, and there were not many casualties.

Looking at the approaching army, Yun Zhi remained calm and said, "Get the catapult ready."

Following her command, the soldiers quickly moved, pushing the huge catapults to the edge of the city wall, ready to attack the enemy.

"Throw."

In an instant, countless stones and fireballs smashed towards the enemy with unstoppable force.

This time the death toll was much higher.

Many enemy soldiers fell to the ground, blood flowed everywhere, staining a large area of ​​the sand on the ground red.

However, this did not stop the enemy from advancing, and they continued to rush towards the city wall.

After a while, several people arrived at the city gate first.

They took out ladders or grappling hooks and tried to climb the wall.

Seeing someone trying to climb up, Yun Zhi ordered, "Kerosene."

The soldiers immediately poured buckets of kerosene down and started the fire.

In an instant, a raging fire broke out, and the climbing enemy troops were instantly engulfed by the fire, letting out shrill screams.

Screams rang out one after another. Seeing this tragic scene, some enemy troops began to feel scared and retreated.

Seeing this, Marquis Anding, who was behind, looked at the flag bearer waving the flag.

"No retreat allowed. Let them continue the attack."

Seeing the waving form that expressed an attack, the soldiers gritted their teeth and continued to charge forward.

Ladders were set up again and more enemy troops rushed towards the city walls.

Yun Zhi's eyes turned cold, "Hit me hard."

Arrows, stones and fireballs from the city walls rained down on the enemy army, and kerosene rolled down in barrels, preventing the enemy from attacking the city.

The battle entered a white-hot stage, and casualties on both sides were slowly increasing.

Every time a group of people fell on the city wall, someone would immediately take their place.

The battle situation came to a stalemate. The enemy could not break through, and Yun Zhi and his men could not repel them.

until.

Just when the battle was at a stalemate, there was movement behind the enemy lines.

Seeing this situation, Yun Zhi drew his sword and looked into the distance, "Open the city gates and meet the enemy."
