Inside the city.
The magistrate of Zhengyang City strode out of Chen Chang's general's residence in fear: "The commander-in-chief... was killed?!"
He grabbed the clothes of the master beside him and said in panic: "The commander was killed?!!!"
The master's face turned pale as he was pinched by him, and the neatly arranged heads of Chen Chang and his deputy generals kept flashing before his eyes.
"Who did it?! Who on earth did it?" The county magistrate took a deep breath, shocked and angry.
"It must be the King of Zhenbei! It's that traitor Ji Wan! With the war raging outside, how did she get into the city?!
How on earth did she do that?!"
The lawyer was terrified to the extreme and trembling all over, but if he didn't calm the county magistrate's anger now, he would become the next Chen Chang!
"Quick! Report the commander-in-chief's death to the governor!" The county magistrate took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
The rebels outside are still eyeing him covetously. He is the last pillar of support for the people of Zhengyang City! He must not fall!
"Yes!" "Yes!" The lawyer felt terrified when he thought of the death of Chen Chang and the deputy general.
After hearing the county magistrate's order, he could only respond repeatedly and turned around and ran to the county magistrate's mansion. He wanted to prepare pen and ink for the county magistrate.
"Report!!! County Magistrate, the King of Zhenbei is attacking! Please go to the city wall and take charge of the battle."
The county magistrate responded, turned around and ran towards the city wall.
But before he could take two steps, a panicked soldier strode over and said, "Report! County Magistrate, for some unknown reason, all our war horses mysteriously died in the stable overnight..."
The sound was so loud that it made the county magistrate dizzy.
He turned around abruptly, his eyes fixed on the soldier who had delivered the message: "What did you say?"
The soldier was so frightened by the magistrate's terrifying look that his legs were shaking. "Reply to the magistrate, the war horses are all dead!
Died in the stable."
The county magistrate saw that the soldier's expression was a little strange, so he frowned and grabbed the soldier's collar angrily.
"Do you know something? Tell me! What's going on?"
The soldier saluted with shaking hands: "In reply to the County Magistrate, I also... I don't know if it counts..."
The county magistrate's face turned pale: "Hurry up and tell me!"
"Yes! Yes. Before, when Military Advisor Sui was still alive, he came to the stables to find us and asked us to replace all the food and fodder for the war horses."
"You have changed?" The county magistrate gritted his teeth?
Could it be the dead Sui military advisor?
The soldier shook his head: "In reply to your Excellency, we haven't changed..."
"Idiot! Why don't you change it!" The county magistrate was so angry that he slapped the soldier in the face on the spot.
"Yes...it was General Chen's deputy general who didn't allow us to change..." The soldier's cheeks were red, and he looked very aggrieved.
The county magistrate staggered back a few times and was supported by the soldiers behind him.
What the hell is going on? Sui Junshi clearly knew there was something wrong with the food, but he didn't expect to be stopped by his own people!
But now Chen Chang, his deputy general, and the Sui military advisor were all dead, and he had nowhere to look for them.
How can soldiers without horses fight against the enemy cavalry? If they go out, they will just die by the sword.
The county magistrate sighed in his heart, God is going to destroy Zhengyang City!
Looking at the soldiers below the city wall with confused and even frightened faces, the county magistrate knew that their morale had been lost!
Ji Wan was completely unaware of the chaotic situation in the city.
She was waiting for the soldiers to beat the drums and then charge.
This time she saw clearly that the enemy soldiers defending the city gate were all infantry!
That proves that Yun Shuangyi's poison did work and the warhorse is dead!
This time, the two counselors Cui Min and Liang Yan still failed to stop Ji Wan, and Ji Wan rode their horses back to the battlefield.
The two counselors agreed that it was too dangerous for Ji to go to the battlefield at night.
Not to mention anything else, just the bloody mud, broken limbs, and messy flesh after the war are not suitable for Ji Wan, the lord, to see.
Today's siege warfare is not so bad. You and I can just fight face to face to the death.
If there is a forest war in the future, what if Your Highness, as the lord, is injured.
Do you think the soldiers around you should take care of His Highness first, or should they find a suitable ambush location in the mountains?
What the lord wants is a clear mind. What if His Highness gets carried away on the battlefield and rushes into the enemy camp without thinking? Do you think the soldiers around him will follow him or not?
If your Highness makes a wrong decision, hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people may die.
What's more, Your Highness has no children now and no one to succeed him.
If something goes wrong, the entire Zhenbei Palace will be leaderless and fall apart.
Your Highness, the city you conquered with so much effort, will you just give it up to others?
Don't be surprised, Cui Min and Liang Yan are guarding against Xiling Ci and Xiling Mingyue.
Although the teleportation array with Ningxi Kingdom has been built now, there is no one else besides Xilingci who has visited His Highness many times.
Madam Xiling has never come here once.
It could be that he had his own difficulties, that he was tripped up by something, or that he was angry and in a cold war with His Highness.
This is definitely something worth guarding against for several strategists.
They, as counselors, really dare not let His Highness take the risk.
So the two counselors forced Ji Wan to promise that every time he went to the battlefield, Yang Guan would be by his side to protect him.
Yang Guan didn't kill the enemy, he just needed to protect her.
But Ji Wan thought that if it was so easy to waste Yang Guan's good hand, she might as well not go to the battlefield.
It would be better to give the opportunity to Yang Guanduo, at least his cultivation is higher than hers.
Well, this is because the two counselors knew what Ji Wan was planning, so they came up with this plan.
Ji Wan's restless heart was completely subdued.
Ji Wan also knew what the two counselors were worried about, and did not let them down.
As a qualified lord, the most important thing is to listen to advice! Listen to the advice of your staff and retainers!
So today is Ji Wan’s last time to go to the battlefield head-on!
Several generals believed that His Highness's presence on the battlefield would be of great benefit to the morale of the soldiers, but the advisory group had already reached an agreement with Ji Wan.
Moreover, this agreement was indeed good for His Highness, so they did not object.
The sound of war drums resounded across the battlefield, dull and powerful, like the heartbeat of the earth.
'Boom!' 'Boom!' 'Boom, boom!' 'Boom, boom, boom!'
As the drumbeats grew faster, the soldiers' breathing became rapid. Suddenly, a sharp horn sounded across the sky.
"Charge!" "Charge!" "Charge!" Our soldiers began to charge into the battle formation on horseback!
Once within the range of the arrows, a fierce attack came like a rainstorm.
The soldiers at the front raised shields that were half a person's height to block the arrows from the city walls.
