Is he from the Xie family?
Hadn't the Xie family been in chaos for a long time? Why was she still in the palace?
Ren Jin looked up at the empress dowager, who looked calm, and felt curious.
"Empress Dowager" Xie Hong bowed and saluted with a calm expression on his face.
"Head of the Xie family? What are you doing in the palace?" The empress dowager raised her eyelids, gloating.
He sneered in his heart. This Xie family always wanted to fight to the death with the Cui family, but why did they end up asking Cui family for help now?
"Xie and the Empress Dowager had an agreement in advance to discuss how to quell the rebellion and suppress the bandits." Xie Hong's complexion had not changed at all compared to two years ago, except that his temples looked a little older.
The Queen Mother said calmly, "In that case, please come in."
-----------------
Thousand Islands State.
Tong Xin led the navy behind him and quietly explored the sea. Their next target was Wanjun and Guangyuanjun, which were adjacent to Qiandao State.
The three gentlemen had already agreed a few days ago that this battle would focus on speed and try to capture the two states and counties as quickly as possible.
After all, they had already spent a lot of manpower to support Cui Xia.
If they could seize the opportunity, they would surely be able to quickly capture the enemy while their troops were weakened.
Stepping on the soft and moist sea sand, behind her was a series of frogmen in black.
The army will arrive soon, and these frogmen will serve as the vanguard to attract the enemy's artillery fire.
This will attract firepower for the army's attack.
Before the expedition, His Highness had also instructed that if they had difficulty in attacking the prefectures and counties this time, he would call back several generals who were serving as spies in the four countries to help with the attack.
Generals Wei Xiao, Zhong Yang, and Jin Lie are all extremely powerful.
But Tong Xin thought about it and still felt that she needed to give it a try first. Although the generals were powerful, she was not made of clay.
If she fails, call back a few generals.
What's more, Mei Niang will complete His Highness's orders in a few days and will return to the battlefield of Qiandao State immediately. The two of them will join forces with Yang Guan and will definitely be able to have fun with Wanjun and Guangyuanjun!
A quarter of an hour later, the frogmen had reached the shore.
Tong Xin immediately waved his hand and ordered the frogmen to go ashore directly!
This time, there was no Yang Guan behind them to transport the explosives, so naturally there was no need to wait.
Hearing the enemy's warning, Tong Xin shook off the water droplets on his body and swung his spear to block the rain of arrows.
The soldiers behind him were already prepared and immediately rushed forward with their shields.
Listening to the sound of arrows hitting the shield, Tong Xin released his spiritual sense to observe and counted silently in his mind. According to the time it took the enemy to assemble the catapult, there should be three breaths left.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes and shouted, "Scatter!"
The frogmen around him reacted extremely quickly, immediately dispersing their formation and retreating with shields raised.
Tong Xin also retreated.
Several gentlemen have already taken their soldiers to intercept support from nearby states and counties at any time.
The people of Wanjun have lost their troops and support, so they will definitely defend the city to the death.
I won't go out at all. When the army arrives, the explosive packs will come in handy!
Thinking of this, Tong Xin encouraged the soldiers around him: "Hold on a little longer, I can already see the army's ships!"
"yes!"
The soldiers spoke in unison, full of momentum.
The commander of Wanjun had died when he supported Cuixia last time, and now there is only one governor left.
The governor of Wanjun was a scholar.
He was so frightened by the group of ships slowly approaching in the distance that his legs were shaking. If there hadn't been someone supporting him, he would have fallen down in fear.
"Quick, quick defense, the city gate must not be breached by those rebels, absolutely not!"
"Sir Governor, it's not that we didn't defend ourselves, it's that they managed to dodge our catapults!
It’s really too scary!”
The governor's chest kept rising and falling. He took several deep breaths and ordered with a serious face: "No matter what, we must hold on!"
On the other side, Yang Guan began to ask the soldiers to be ready to drop explosives at any time.
"Protect the vanguard troops, throw the explosives farther, directly into the city!"
--boom!
The soldiers kept replacing each other beside the catapults on their own ships, and the explosive packs and catapults cooperated with each other.
They aimed at the enemy's city gate, which looked very tall and solid, and bombarded it.
Dark smoke immediately drifted out from the city gate.
Pan Zhuo squinted his eyes and suddenly saw that there were several cracks in the enemy's city gate. He immediately said in a deep voice.
"Throw explosive packs at the city gate and nearby walls!"
"yes!"
On the other side, Cao Ke looked at Yang Guandao and said, "General Yang, just try your best to ensure that the vanguard troops charge forward. The artillery fire from the rear will continue to bombard the city gates and city walls."
"Okay!" Yang Guan responded. When the big ship arrived near the coast, he immediately led his men to jump off the ship and ran towards the city gate of Wanjun City at a very fast pace.
He rarely left His Highness for such a long time, except for his previous trip to Ningxi Kingdom, and this time.
Last time, it was because I angered His Highness, so it wasn't a good thing anyway.
But this time, he must not let His Highness down!
The soldiers led by Yang Guan ran very fast and met up with the vanguard Tong Xin in the blink of an eye.
The situation on the battlefield is very good.
The enemy's defense is also much weaker than Cuixia's Thousand Islands State.
After all, a lot of their troops had been used to support Qiandao State, and since Lou Shao brought out 100,000 soldiers from Donglin State, they had no more troops to support Wanjun.
The governor was in a panic.
Besides, Cui Xia is a direct descendant of the Cui family, and he is not from the Cui family, let alone a direct descendant.
What bad luck, really bad luck. Now that the city is broken, there is only one word for him - death.
