Dong Zhiyao arrived at the front line.
The Cheng brothers are still leading the Wei troops to set up the explosives points. Since Mr. Qu is not here, there is no need to be particular. Just put one every few pits randomly. As long as they can kill the enemy, it will be fine.
A long fuse connected all the small black balls together. The catapults and fire chariots in the distance, as well as bundles of fire dragon arrows, were all pushed to the front line.
It is spring now, and the temperature is slowly rising. The grass in the ground has grown to the height of a palm. The fuse is laid on the ground, almost hidden under the grass, and is not easily noticed.
After the command tower was built, the defense line was dragged to the edge of the area to prevent the shouting and killing from attracting monsters.
“Report!!!”
"The Shifang Sect army has arrived at the county seat, less than ten miles from the front line!!!"
The spy entered the front line and shouted hurriedly.
Without stopping, he headed to the tent at the rear to deliver the message to His Highness.
The soldiers looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They ran quickly and followed the orders of the centurions to form battle arrays. Some drew their bows and arrows, while others raised their shields and formed battle arrays, mustering their courage to prepare for the enemy's attack.
The air was filled with a tense and solemn atmosphere.
The vast area that temporarily became a battlefield was filled with deathly silence and despair.
Guo Xiu climbed onto the high platform of the Hedong Army and, as the flag-waver, would be responsible for commanding the battlefield of the Hedong Army.
On the other two high platforms, on one side were the people personally selected by Lord Dou—two young men from the Dou family. On the other side were General Xue, a member of the personal guard under Prince Cheng'an.
Guo Xiu frowned slightly, as the people chosen by both families were beyond his expectations.
Dou Gong sat up in shock from his illness, and personally stepped in to suppress the younger generations of the three families. He went against the majority opinion and chose two young men from his own direct line, ordering them to take the lead.
The two young men were no more than fourteen or fifteen years old. Although they looked a little nervous, their eyes were firm. When they noticed Guo Xiu's gaze, they bowed slightly.
Guo Xiu bowed in return, then turned his gaze towards Cheng Anjun.
He couldn't figure it out.
The two counselors around King Cheng'an were on par with him.
The battlefield changes rapidly, and a small decision may lead to heavy casualties among soldiers. Why leave two useful counselors aside and choose a trusted general?
You have to know that this battle was the most uncertain one they had ever fought. Apart from Cao Mingyuan, they didn't even know who the general leading the troops was.
As a result, except for their Hedong Army, each one was more careless than the other!
Without waiting for him to think about it.
The figures of the Ten Directions Sect's army, like a torrent, were already looming in front of them.
The scene was grand and spectacular.
Endless figures stretched across the horizon, their sharp auras intimidating, the cold light of their swords and spears gleaming coldly. As the believers advanced, the earth seemed to tremble, earth and rocks flew everywhere, and billowing smoke and dust were raised.
When the soldiers lined up below saw this scene, the pressure doubled. They swallowed nervously, their hearts beating rapidly.
The scene fell into deathly silence.
Guo Xiu suddenly clenched his hands holding the big flag, his whole body was suppressed and tense. The people on the high platform stared blankly at the enemy running towards them.
There was no deafening shouting of fighting and killing, but 40,000 soldiers... were fighting against 100,000 enemy believers.
Success or failure depends on this one move.
They can only choose to believe Wei!
The female soldiers held crossbows in their hands and stood in a row with the archers of the allied army.
A Pan felt nervous and excited, his body was so tense as if it could burst out with huge power at any time, so much so that he didn't even notice Mr. Dong coming.
She didn't expect that her first time on the battlefield would be such a grand scene.
A Pan had never seen the power of the little black ball, but she believed in the girl. The girl said she was sure that she would help the army win the battle, so they would definitely win!
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the enemy ahead.
Waiting for the 100,000-strong army to enter the small black ball position.
…
Cao Mingyuan stood on the wall of the fort with his hands behind his back, watching the 100,000 believers rushing towards the border.
He sighed, "With an army of 100,000 and Mr. Xiao, victory is certain."
The six people tied to the city wall behind him had been exposed to wind and sun for several days, and were breathing out more than breathing in.
Gong, with disheveled hair and cracked lips, raised his head with great effort and sarcastically said, "Master Cao, you are too happy too soon. Isn't he afraid of getting slapped in the face later?"
"You are still stubborn before your death. Well, I will let you see with your own eyes how your Gong family is destroyed." Cao Mingyuan was unmoved.
In his eyes, these six people were already dead.
He had chosen to go to the prison in person just to enjoy the shocked and angry expressions on their faces.
It seemed that only in this way could he feel a little bit of joy.
Gong Zong let out a silly low laugh, "The family is already torn apart, so let it be destroyed." It seemed as if he was laughing at him, or at himself.
Cao Mingyuan suddenly felt bored and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
He clearly just wanted revenge at first, but when he learned that the emperor was dead and his revenge was achieved, he felt nothing.
Perhaps he was already used to killing and death, or perhaps it was because he had not seen it with his own eyes.
After finishing the matter in Sizhou, he should go to the palace and find the emperor who had turned into a monster. He should tie him up, cut off his hands and feet, throw him on the ground, and watch him crawling around in disgrace...
"Sir." The confidant hurriedly climbed up the city wall, respectfully handed over the letter in his hand, and whispered, "It's extremely urgent. Mr. Xiao just sent an important message."
"Mr. Xiao said that Prince Cheng'an was acting strangely, and he seemed to be watching him closely. He only found an opportunity to deliver the letter now, and instructed his subordinates to immediately hand it over to you for your review."
Cao Mingyuan was slightly surprised. What was so urgent?
He took the letter and asked, "How is the situation with the prince?"
