"It looks like the Cheshi Kingdom's army, there should be 300,000 of them?"
"Three hundred thousand?"
The king was very surprised, as this was almost the entire military force of their country.
Naturally, he was a little skeptical and asked, "Is it accurate?"
"Exactly. Should we use adventurers to defend the city?"
The king thought about it and shook his head.
"No need. Our forces are no less numerous than theirs. We just need to hold the position. I just don't know why they came with such a large force this time. We haven't done anything to offend them."
Fengyun reminded at this time:
"Could it be that they heard about your death last time, so they gathered their troops to attack Loulan?"
The king shook his head and said, "No, if it weren't for my death, they would have come a few days ago. They wouldn't have waited until your wedding to come."
When the king mentioned the wedding, he suddenly realized.
"Yes, it's a big wedding. They're coming for you."
Fengyun really wants to curse.
Who did I offend? I can't even get married in peace.
"Haha, since they dare to come after me, I will take care of them."
Fengyun’s idea was very simple, to take the initiative to go to the door.
The king said worriedly:
"Do you want to attack the Cheshi Kingdom?"
"Yes, didn't you just say they were going all out? I brought 50,000 cavalrymen and stormed into the Cheshi Kingdom, seizing their Cheshi City."
"But the cavalry can't climb the city walls."
Seeing the king so worried, Fengyun smiled.
"Since it's an empty city, you can get on the city walls right away. If there are still soldiers left inside, then my Yongning Town still has 20,000 sword and shield soldiers. Wouldn't it be easy to take down Cheshi Kingdom? As long as you can hold on here."
The lord has said so, what else can the king say?
"Yes, it's only a few hours' ride from Loulan to Cheshi. This is no problem. As long as there is enough good food, I can hold out for a long time. My lord, please be careful on this trip."
Feng Yun nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. On the contrary, if you really can't hold on any longer, then open the city and surrender, but you two must leave in advance."
Fengyun looked at the princess worriedly.
"Don't worry. We'll be fine. If anything does happen, I'll definitely send her away first."
Fengyun nodded. This time they were too hasty. If they could materialize them first, then nothing would have happened.
Fengyun looked at the princess affectionately, touched the back of her head and said:
"Don't worry about me, I'll be back soon. If you have anything to do, just go ahead."
"Well, I'll wait for you to come back."
After the two hugged and kissed each other, Fengyun left without hesitation. At the same time, the kingdom asked Marbury to organize an army to resist the Cheshi army.
…
The prince of the Cheshi army, hundreds of miles away from Loulan City, was sitting leisurely in his luxurious carriage, while his army was galloping all the way.
"Your Highness, should we hurry over there? If we are overtaken by other countries, Princess Loulan will be gone."
But the prince laughed and said:
"Hehe, don't worry. Didn't Duke Rank say that the King of Loulan is a coward and gets scared when encountering trouble? With so many of us here this time, I'm afraid he'll pee his pants in fear."
"Hahaha, Your Highness is right. Then let our army attack first. When we arrive, the city gates may have already been opened to welcome you."
"Ha ha ha ha..."
The prince of Cheshi Kingdom laughed arrogantly, but they had no idea that the King of Loulan might have been such a person in the past.
But now he is a man who has died once, and his personality has completely changed.
Besides, he is Fengyun's subordinate, so how could he surrender easily?
An hour later, the prince's carriage finally stopped outside the city.
"Hahaha, I'll see how our soldiers open the city gate then."
The prince of Cheshi Kingdom got off the carriage excitedly, but the news he got was not good news.
"Your Highness, we can't take it in our first round of attack. Loulan City is putting up a fierce resistance."
"How is that possible? What about the king? Wasn't he frightened and opened the city gates?"
The subordinate pointed to the top of the city wall and said:
"Your Highness, the King is sitting on the top of the city wall supervising the battle. The morale of the soldiers defending the city is high, and we can't climb up."
The prince then looked towards the top of the city wall, and saw that it was covered with the blood of soldiers.
Only then did the prince realize that a great battle had just taken place on the city wall.
"That's not right. Did Duke Ranke lie?"
But the prince of Cheshi quickly rejected this idea.
That guy is always thinking about Loulan City. It is impossible for him to hide anything about this matter, let alone lie.
But where is the problem?
The prince of Cheshi State couldn't figure it out.
"Humph! He won't surrender. He must think we soldiers can't do anything to him. So let him know what he's going to face next."
The prince immediately decided to buy something and leave.
But he was stopped by his men.
"Prince, where are you going? It's dangerous ahead. A son of a wealthy family cannot sit idle in the hall. You can't go ahead."
The subordinates were afraid that the prince would rush forward on impulse, but the prince was not stupid.
"I'll go talk to the king and persuade him to surrender."
"Oh, then let me protect you."
As he spoke, a group of soldiers surrounded the prince and came to a place not far from the city.
He shouted:
"King of Loulan, can you hear me? I am Che Taichi, the prince of Cheshi. Do you dare to come forward and speak to me?"
The King of Loulan naturally had nothing to fear, so he went to the battlements of the city wall and shouted to the people below:
"Che Taichi! You, Chechi, are going too far. Why are you attacking Loulan for no reason? Our two countries have no grudges against each other. What are you trying to do?"
The prince of Chechi State thought he was in control of the initiative, so he spoke very politely at this time.
"King Loulan, I'm a bit presumptuous to come here this time. But you forced me to do this. Why did you marry the princess to a Han Chinese without permission, instead of choosing someone from among our Western Regions? I'm telling you, you've angered all of our Western Regions princes this time. They're all on their way here. If you know what's good for you, open the gates and surrender. Give me the princess, and I won't treat you unfairly."
This shocked the King of Loulan. He had never expected that just marrying his daughter would mobilize the armies of all the countries in the Western Regions.
So he shouted, "You are so shameless! What does my daughter's marriage have to do with you? You are just acting like a bandit. We have been friends for generations. I urge you to leave immediately to avoid damaging the relationship between the two sides."
Seeing that the king was showing his weakness, Che Taichi laughed.
"Hahaha, King, you know you're afraid, right? You're afraid now, but don't worry, I'll give you a chance. Open the door quickly and let us in. I'll pretend nothing happened."
