When Wang Zheng and his soldiers saw the cracked earth, they were speechless with shock.
Wang Zheng was somewhat shocked. He had always thought that when people said that a girl was highly skilled in martial arts, she was only slightly more skilled than an ordinary woman.
But just now, I saw that seemingly light step she took actually stomped on the ground and created such a large crack.
His disdain lessened instantly, and as he watched Liu Sisi's departing figure, he quickly followed after her with his men.
On the other side.
The Jin-Liao Kingdom is about to change its tactics. Although they have a large number of people, the Tianlong Kingdom's weapons are too advanced. If things continue like this, the Grand General fears that his 300,000-strong army will be completely wiped out.
If that's the case, he doesn't need to go back. Given Emperor Guang Sheng's temperament, he would be tortured to death if he returned defeated.
So he summoned the generals from all sides to the military camp and discussed how to win the battle overnight.
"Gentlemen, the Tianlong Kingdom originally had 100,000 fewer troops than us, but after so many days of fighting, our army has lost 120,000 men, while the enemy has only lost 40,000. If this continues, we are afraid we will suffer a defeat this time."
The general looked at everyone with a solemn expression and said.
Jin Hen, who was bandaging the wound on his arm, stood up in anger upon hearing this, saying that he would go and challenge them again, determined to kill all the generals of Tianlong Kingdom.
He makes it sound so easy, but if he really had that ability, he wouldn't be hiding here sulking with all those injuries.
"General Jin, don't worry, I have a way."
A tall, refined-looking man sitting next to him gestured for him to wait a moment, saying he had an idea.
This man is Jiang Ping, the strategist of the Jin-Liao Kingdom. He had never contributed much to the army when attacking other countries.
Because other countries could hardly withstand the Jin-Liao army for long before being defeated, there was no need to use any strategies.
Tianlong Kingdom was the first country to inflict such a terrible defeat on them, and only then did he realize that he needed to do something.
"What method?" the general asked immediately when he heard that he had an idea, and everyone else also pricked up their ears to listen.
"We'll do it like this..."
"………………".
Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing his words.
The next day, before dawn, Jin Hentian went to the gate of Mengcheng to challenge them. When no one paid attention to him, he started cursing, and he used particularly offensive language.
The noise woke up Liu Siping and Liu Si'an, who were sleeping. Liu Siping was still injured, and Liu Si'an told him to rest and said he would handle it himself.
After consulting with the general, he first stood on the city wall and saw that only Jin Hen had come with a small team. He then remembered that this man was responsible for his third brother's injury.
His anger surged, and he immediately went back to put on his battle robes, picked up his sword, and led a group of men out of the city gate to capture Jin Hen alive to avenge his third brother.
As soon as the city gate opened, Liu Si'an rode out.
Ruan Xicheng also heard Jin Hen's cursing, but he didn't want to get involved.
But when he heard Liu Si'an say that he would go out to meet the enemy himself, he was worried and rode his horse out with him. He couldn't let anything happen to his benefactor's brother while he was here.
It was still quite dark, and neither side could see each other clearly.
As soon as Liu Si'an went out, he picked up his sword and started fighting Jin Hen on horseback. The soldiers around them also joined the melee, and Ruan Xicheng followed closely behind and joined the battle.
Jin Hen was still injured, and he was at a disadvantage against two opponents. However, he did not want to linger in the fight. If he could not win, he would turn his horse around and retreat back to the camp.
Liu Si'an rode off to give chase, but was stopped by Ruan Xicheng. "Brother Si'an, be careful of ambushes. Since he has escaped, let's go back first and fight again at dawn."
Liu Si'an agreed with his reasoning and stopped and went back.
In the pitch black, no one noticed that two soldiers from the Jin-Liao Kingdom dressed in the uniforms of the Tianlong Kingdom had infiltrated their ranks.
After returning, since it was still dark, the group decided to go back and catch up on their sleep.
The two soldiers, however, did not follow him into the room, claiming they needed to use the outhouse…
As dawn broke, the two armies continued their battle. This time, Jin Hen was seriously injured by Ruan Xicheng and Liu Si'an. Just as Liu Si'an was about to cut off his head in one fell swoop...
But then he heard Zhou Qing sound the retreat and order the troops to withdraw. Liu Si'an was puzzled and asked why.
"General, I'm about to kill that big guy, what do you think?"
"Return to the city." Zhou Qing only replied with this one sentence before leading his troops back.
Upon entering the city, Liu Si'an learned from a report that the Tianlong Kingdom's granary had caught fire, and almost all the grain had been burned. Although the arsonist had been caught, the grain could not be saved.
Food is the most important thing for an army to march and fight. Without food, how many days can an army of hundreds of thousands last?
Zhou Qing summoned the generals and told them about the burning of the grain supplies.
The group looked at each other, at a loss for what to do. They were willing to risk their lives on the battlefield, but without food, they really didn't know what to do.
At this moment, Liu Sisi and Wang Zheng arrived with reinforcements. Zhou Qing looked delighted upon hearing the report.
"Quickly, invite them in."
After Liu Sisi and Wang Zheng went inside, Liu Siping and Liu Si'an saw their sister arrive and immediately walked up to Liu Sisi, looking worried.
"Sister, what brings you here? This battlefield is too dangerous."
"Third brother, fourth brother, I've come to reinforce you on orders. How's the battle going?"
After answering, Liu Sisi asked a question in return.
Mentioning this made everyone's faces darken again, because now that the grain supplies had been burned, and with the arrival of 50,000 new troops, would the grain supplies they brought be enough to feed more than 200,000 troops?
