Chapter 60 Can I Propose Marriage?
Yanmen City.
Xuanyuan Jing stood on the city wall, and the soldiers beside him were ready to fight.
Xiao Fuguang stood beside him, watching the soldiers busy preparing for battle.
A scout came hurriedly and knelt on one knee.
"Reporting to the Regent, the Beipan army is already one mile away."
Xuanyuan Jing heard this, his eyes were like torches, and he said in a deep voice.
"You've arrived just in time. All three armies, listen to my orders. All soldiers, prepare to fight."
Then he took a step closer to Xiao Fuguang.
"I wonder how the Saint of Southern Border will react to today's battle."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fuguang looked into the distance and spoke.
"Don't worry, Regent. No matter how she reacts, I'm not afraid!"
Led by Haolian Xiong, the Beipan army approached Yanmen City like a dark cloud.
Haolian Xiong was riding on his horse, his eyes bloodshot and his face ferocious, obviously still upset about the burning of food and grass last night.
"Warriors of Beipan, you will not return until you win today."
Inspired by Haolianxiong, the Beipan soldiers also let out a thunderous roar.
"No victory, no return. No victory, no return."
Hao Lianxiong drew his sword and pointed it at Yanmen City.
"Kill, take Yanmen City."
"Siege ladders, siege vehicles ready."
"Shield ready."
Following his successive orders.
Following his instructions, the Beipan army launched a fierce attack on Yanmen City.
The defenders of Yanmen City quickly entered combat status, and the archers on the city walls were ready to attack.
The catapults were also ready, and they would shoot arrows and throw stones as soon as the Beipan army reached the response distance.
The Beipan army surged in like a tide, with shield bearers in front and siege ladders and siege vehicles following closely behind, attempting to break through the defense line of Yanmen City.
"Shoot!" Xuanyuan Jing gave the order, and the archers on the city walls unleashed a barrage of arrows, raining down on the Beipan army. Although the Beipan soldiers' shields were strong, they were inevitably damaged by such a dense rain of arrows, and their offensive momentum slowed down slightly.
At the same time, catapults also began to show their power. Huge stones flew towards the enemy with a whistling sound, knocking the Beipan army to the ground and causing chaos.
After all, the Beipan army was numerous and exceptionally brave. After a brief period of adjustment, they launched another fierce attack. This time, siege ladders were placed on the city walls, and siege vehicles approached the city gates. The two sides engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat.
Xiao Fuguang looked up at the darkening sky, then looked outside the city.
At this time, outside Yanmen City, corpses were everywhere and blood flowed like a river.
"Regent, it's time for the soldiers to act according to plan."
Xuanyuan Jing nodded.
"Xiuming, the time has come."
Upon hearing this, Xiu Ming hurriedly took the order and left.
Soon, the city gate was knocked open by Beipan's army.
The defenders in the city began to retreat in an orderly manner, as if they were no match for the offensive of Beipan's army.
Seeing this, Hao Lianxiong's eyes flashed with pride, thinking that victory was just around the corner.
"Go ahead, brothers, take Yanmen City, drink fine wine and sleep with beautiful women."
As the Beipan Army's cavalry rushed into the city.
Countless wine jars were crushed by Beipan's warhorse.
Seeing half of Beipan’s army rushing into the city, Xiao Fuguang immediately spoke.
"Your Majesty, we can prepare to block the city gates."
Xuanyuan Jing gave orders after hearing this.
"Put the boulder."
Soon, countless soldiers worked together to throw several huge stones down above the city gate.
The Beipan Army that was rushing into the city gate was smashed into pieces.
The city gate was blocked, and Haolianxiong, who had already rushed into the city, always felt that something was wrong. Why did the army in the city retreat so quickly?
And why does it smell so strongly of alcohol?
"Everyone rush to the city wall."
On the city wall.
Xuanyuan Jing and Xiao Fuguang looked at each other.
They all spoke at the same time.
"ignition."
Xiu Ming personally operated a catapult.
This time, the bag was not filled with stones, but a quilt filled with wine.
The quilt was ignited and instantly turned into a huge fireball.
The fireball streaked across the night sky, carrying blazing flames, and landed precisely on the area in the city where the Beipan army was most concentrated.
Hao Lianxiong's face was full of anger.
"Quick, get out of the way."
The Beipan army looked at the falling fireball and hurriedly dodged it.
But the fireball suddenly fell to the ground, instantly igniting the wine on the ground. The fire spread rapidly, and the entire Yanmen City seemed to have turned into a sea of fire.
"ah--!"
"ah…………"
The Beipan soldiers were forced to flee in all directions by the sudden fire, with cries and screams coming one after another, and the situation was in chaos.
Hao Lianxiong's face changed drastically, he had fallen into the trap.
"Quick! Retreat quickly and leave the city."
Haolian Xiong shouted at the top of his lungs, but at this moment Yanmen City was already shrouded in flames and smoke, the city gate had been blocked, and there was no hope of survival.
On the city wall, Xuanyuan Jing and Xiao Fuguang calmly observed the situation, watching the Beipan army struggling in the sea of fire, without a trace of mercy in their eyes.
"Miss Xiao, this plan is really brilliant." Xuanyuan Jing praised sincerely.
Xiao Fuguang spoke humbly.
"It is thanks to the Regent's sound command and the soldiers' fierce fighting that we have achieved this great victory."
Looking at the flames in Yanmen City, it seemed as if it was going to dye half the sky red.
The Beipan Army, which was blocked outside the city, finally realized that they had been tricked. With such a big fire, I am afraid that the Beipan Army inside the city has already...
This battle is already over.
A deputy general shouted loudly.
"retreat………"
"Everyone retreat..."
There were less than 20,000 troops left in Beipan, and they retreated like a tide.
However, before they left the area of Yanmen City, they were intercepted by Jiang Yuan and his troops.
Another fight begins.
The morale of the remaining Beipan troops had already collapsed and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced when faced with the fresh forces led by Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan commanded the army with confidence, pushing the Beipan army into a desperate situation step by step.
On the battlefield, the flashing of swords and the shouts of killing shook the earth. Beipan soldiers fell one after another, and their blood dyed the earth red, echoing with the flames in the city, forming a tragic picture.
Inside the city, Haolian Xiong saw that the situation was hopeless and his heart was filled with resentment and anger.
He roared and tried to organize the remaining soldiers to launch a final counterattack, but the fierceness of the fire and the chaos among the people made all his efforts in vain.
Surrounded by charred corpses and desperate cries, the once invincible Beipan army now ended up being burned to death.
Haolian Xiong stepped on the corpses of countless war horses, but how could he escape when he was in the sea of fire? Flames burned on his body, and when he looked up, he saw Xuanyuan Jing and Xiao Fuguang standing side by side on the city wall.
The two men looked down from above, their eyes cold and firm, as if everything was under their control.
An unprecedented despair and hatred surged in Haolianxiong's heart. He roared, but his voice was swallowed by the raging fire.
"Xuanyuan Jing! Xiao Fuguang! This will not end well for you!"
However, the only response he received was a huge fire that completely consumed him.
Xuanyuan Jing spoke in a deep voice.
"Put out the fire."
Lin Ji had already prepared water with his men, and the soldiers were now busy putting out the fire.
The smell of a burning human body was so unpleasant that Xiao Fuguang couldn't help but cover his nose with his hand, frowning.
My stomach churned. Damn, this smelled terrible.
I can't help but want to vomit.
Xuanyuan Jing spoke upon seeing this.
"Wen Ying, you guys clean up the mess."
Then he put his arm around Xiao Fuguang's waist and flew away with her.
Xingyue spoke hurriedly.
"Miss………"
Liu Yue pulled her.
"You're so stupid, what are you shouting about?"
At this time, heavy snow began to fall from the sky. The snow fluttered down like goose feathers falling from the sky, trying to cover the blood and ashes on the battlefield.
Xuanyuan Jing took Xiao Fuguang away from the battlefield and stopped in a relatively fresh place. Although there was still a faint unpleasant smell in the air, it was much better.
"Fuguang, are you okay?"
Xuanyuan Jing asked with concern, his eyes full of tenderness and worry.
Xiao Fuguang took a few deep breaths, trying to calm her stomach which was churning because of the tragic scene on the battlefield. She shook her head slightly.
"It's okay now. I didn't expect the smell of a burning corpse to be so bad."
Watching the snowflakes falling on her head one after another, Xuanyuan Jing's mind suddenly flashed with those words.
If we can get caught in the snow together one day, we will grow old together in this life.
"Fuguang, the war is won. When we return to the imperial city, I will go to the Marquis' Mansion to propose marriage!"
