Jizhou is surrounded by water on three sides and mountains on one side. The terrain is steep and it is an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack place.
Three long rivers converge and disperse here. The area is rich in water and grass and has beautiful scenery. It is a land of fish and rice with abundant harvests.
Ji Wan looked at the map that the scout fed back to the screen of his watch.
I saw three long rivers on it, like flexible water snakes, constantly converging and separating.
The river flows around the mountains behind it and surrounds the entire Jizhou.
They are now on the other side of the long river.
Now, the two armies were facing each other from afar across the river.
Ji Wan looked longingly: "If I had gotten this kind of start, I would have definitely turned the entire area into rice fields."
Gong Xu and Zuo Yue had already instructed their soldiers to set up camp.
Now they just have to wait for the scout mission to be completed and for the Cui father and son to arrive, so that they can use the tactics they have discussed on Ji Ze.
"Set up camp." Ji Wan turned his head to glance at Tong Feipeng.
"Yes."
An hour later.
The teleportation array was built by experienced engineers.
Cui and his son also arrived at the front line of the battle via the teleportation array.
Ji Wan enlarged the screen and walked to the tables of the gentlemen. "Gentlemen, look, this is a rough map of the seven cities in Jizhou."
"Jize over there probably already knows the whereabouts of our army.
Your Highness should be prepared for a tough fight this time."
Cui Min was dressed in black, his face was calm, but there was still a hint of redness in his eyes.
The three of them, father and son, buried their mother and eldest brother's ashes in Liangzhou.
This time, he also specially moved the relics of his mother and elder brother from the royal capital to Liangzhou.
By the way, join forces with Sui Ruoxu to deal with Cui Mi, Cui Renjie, and Ji Qin.
Grind people to ashes.
Only then can I kneel before the graves of my mother and elder brother to comfort their souls in heaven.
Ji Wan turned around and glanced at Cui Xuan and Cui Zhe, and found that the three of them, father and son, all had the same expression.
"I understand. The three gentlemen should take a day off."
What if a family of intellectuals falls ill instead of taking a rest?
Cui Zhe was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "No problem."
On the other side, Cui Min and Tong Feipeng had already started discussing tactics with Gong Xu and Zuo Yue.
"Behind this person, Ji Ze, is the Southern Xia Kingdom. His mother is a close friend of the mother of the Eighth Prince, Zhao Kui, and they have a very close relationship.
Therefore, many of his advisers were Zhao Kui's colleagues and friends.
"But rather than calling them colleagues, it's better to say they are all Zhao Kui's subordinates," Cui Xuan said.
Tong Feipeng nodded: "If I am not mistaken, Your Highness's target this time is not just Ji Ze."
Ji Wan grinned shyly: "Of course, there is also the Southern Xia Kingdom."
"Then Your Highness, there is no need to hold back this time. Just take them all..." He stretched out his hand and made a downward slashing gesture.
He was so imposing that the two servants behind him were stunned for a moment.
Before... when the master followed the former empress dowager, he wasn't so outspoken...
Tong Feipeng glanced at him secretly and thought to himself that Ji Wan now has many talented people under his command. If he doesn't work harder, what will happen if his wife and children at home are left behind?
Ji Wan saw Tong Feipeng's face and eyes clearly.
I secretly felt sorry for Tong Cheng. With a father like the King of Curls, this child will definitely have a good future.
Well, Tong Cheng, who might be swept up in this, might not have an easy life in the future...
"I think what Mr. Feipeng said makes sense. If there are no exceptionally capable counselors or generals among them, we can just kill them all.
So that they don't flee back to Nanxia and cause me trouble."
Ji Wan glanced at Tong Feipeng in agreement.
Cui Min also nodded, then turned around and explained something to Gong Xu beside him.
By the time everyone had finished discussing it, it was getting dark.
Ji Wan dived into the water lightly. The cold river water at night gradually spread from his arms to his waist and abdomen, and finally his whole body was soaked in water.
In front of her was Zuo Yue, who was exploring the way; beside her was Gong Xu, who was on guard at all times; and behind her was Tong Xin, who was leading the female frogmen.
Several people surrounded her and sneaked forward together.
There were many other soldiers who did the same thing as them. They formed small teams and quietly dived into the water.
The river was rushing, and they had to hold their waists steady, otherwise they would be washed away.
They are all the vanguard and main force of this attack.
Half a quarter of an hour later.
Ji Wan quietly went ashore and distributed the explosive packs in the storage bag to everyone around him.
He exchanged a glance with Tong Xin, then quietly used his spiritual power to light the fuse. His arm muscles bulged as he pointed towards the distant city wall: "Throw!"
In a flash, the flames suddenly illuminated the sky and the earth.
The rumbling sound was incessant, and the fragments of wall tiles even bounced back and flew in front of Ji Wan.
The heat from the iron city wall was transferred very quickly, and the soldiers inside the city immediately struck the drums used for warning.
The people and soldiers in the city were suddenly in an uproar. The flames illuminated the entire city, and at the same time, countless arrows rained down at them.
It's overwhelming and suffocating.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Shouts also rang out from the towering city walls.
Ji Wan hid behind a heavy shield and slowly advanced forward under the rain of arrows.
Behind the vanguard was the main army crossing the river by boat.
After the rain of arrows, Ji Wan suddenly realized that the three old methods of defending the city, falling rocks and rolling logs, were not used by the enemy.
She took a deep breath and picked up her watch. "Everyone, be careful of the traps ahead. The enemy hasn't set down any falling logs or rocks."
Just as he finished speaking, within three breaths, the city gate suddenly opened a crack, and a whole team of enemies on horseback and wearing crimson armor suddenly rushed out.
Ji Wan took a look through the gap in the shield and saw that they were all riding on tall horses, holding long spears, and running towards them with extraordinary bravery.
The sound of horse hooves was like thunder. Ji Wan looked up at the city wall and found that the archers had not yet withdrawn. His pupils shrank immediately and he shouted in alarm: "Prepare for battle!"
The enemy is clearly planning to give up the lives of this small group of soldiers who are leaving the city!
The bow and arrow were not retracted because the intention was to shoot the arrow while the two sides were fighting below and the soldiers were unable to react.
Use their soldiers' lives in exchange for the lives of Ji Wan's soldiers.
She secretly spat in her heart: "What a reckless person, Ji Ze!"
Gong Xu chimed in, "Hey, he's not risking his life, he's fighting tooth and nail, Your Highness.
Many of the states and counties he had fought hard for over the years were conquered by His Highness.
If he doesn't struggle any more, Jizhou City will fall in a few days, and that will be his last moment."
The roar of the enemy's war horses was getting closer and closer, and Ji Wan felt the ground beneath his feet shaking.
She raised her eyes, took out another bag of explosives, lit it, and threw it on the path that the war horses must take.
The series of actions were completed in one go without any delay.
