Chapter 183 We agreed to just defend the mountain, but you guys attacked it directly?!
Tonight.
For ordinary people, it was an ordinary night.
But for the eldest princess and Zeng Anmin.
It was a night that went down in history!!
The names of these two generals will surely be remembered by future generations!
"Great Victory!!"
After the Yuanyang Army occupied the high ground of Bifeng Valley.
Zeng Anmin looked towards the throne.
It was a throne that was seven feet high.
That throne is the master of Bifeng Valley.
The great demon king of the Bixuan tribe.
Bixuan's throne!
But today, Zeng Anmin took the seat.
"Bixuan, you really know how to enjoy yourself."
Zeng Anmin lay on the Demon King's throne, squinting his eyes and looking down.
More than a dozen members of the demon tribe knelt on the ground trembling.
"Cat girl, dog girl, why is there also a bear girl..."
Zeng Anmin looked speechless.
The female demons kneeling on the ground.
They all had hairy faces and were not wearing much clothes. They were just kneeling there shivering.
"Why is it different from what I imagined..."
Zeng Anmin looked at the little cat girl kneeling in the front for a while.
In the end, I couldn't help it and waved them away.
Shouldn't the cat girl we imagine be the kind with cute cat ears, a beautiful figure, and a curvy figure that makes people's nose bleed...
Why is it that his face is covered in a mess of hair, and only his body barely resembles a human...
Zeng Anmin took a deep breath and looked ahead calmly.
Wu Qianfeng is counting the harvest.
"How is this battle?"
Zeng Anmin sat on the throne, slowly lowered his head and looked at Wu Qianfeng.
After hearing Zeng Anmin's words, Wu Qianfeng showed respect:
"Master Zeng, in the battle at Bifeng Valley, our army lost a thousand men."
?
“I’m asking about the harvest.”
Zeng Anmin's mouth twitched and he looked at Wu Qianfeng deeply.
Wu Qianfeng's mouth twitched a little and he said uncomfortably:
"The demon race is poor and uninhabited. The only things that are useful to me, the Great Sage, are the minerals in the mountains and the terrain of the forests."
"As for the harvest..."
Wu Qianfeng sighed and looked up at Zeng Anmin cautiously:
"Some of the demon tribe's corpses can be used as military rations."
"The bodies of the four demon generals and the Mighty Lion Demon King can also be transported back to the capital. We can ask the experts from the Xuanzhen Division to make some spiritual tools for them."
"Okay."
Zeng Anmin sighed.
He slowly stood up and said, "Order the Mandarin Duck Army under your command to guard all the mountain passes. Not a single demon tribe member can go south."
"yes."
There is no need to give this order.
After the battle of Bifeng Valley, Wu Qianfeng received orders from the eldest princess.
Taking Bifeng Valley as the stronghold, all the mountain roads north of Bifeng Valley were firmly guarded.
We will never let any demon enter the Bifeng Valley.
"Where is His Highness?"
Zeng Namin raised his head and looked towards Wu Qianfeng.
Wu Qianfeng pondered for a while, then slapped his forehead and said:
"The Baideng Mountains are indeed a place of great feng shui. The princess seems to have made some discoveries and is following the traces to look for mineral deposits."
"profound."
Zeng Anmin stretched himself and waved his hand nonchalantly:
"Keep an eye on these prisoners. Don't let them cause any trouble."
"yes."
Wu Qianfeng saluted respectfully and walked towards the prisoner.
Zeng Anmin was too lazy to manage these things, so he simply left the cave and walked outside.
"Zeng Anmin!"
A familiar voice sounded.
Zeng Anmin turned his head and looked towards the source of the sound.
Then the eldest princess was seen falling from the moon.
At this time, the eldest princess took off her light armor and put on a palace dress.
The white palace dress was like a white gauze skirt covering her body.
As the eldest princess tapped her toes.
Like a fairy from the Moon Palace, she slowly floated over.
The eldest princess's eyebrows were smiling at this time, and her lips curled up like a flame.
The round long legs were faintly visible under the gauze.
Perfection is written all over it.
It was the first time that Zeng Anmin saw such a knowing smile on the eldest princess's face.
He stood there, somewhat lost in thought, looking up at the eldest princess who was stepping into the air from the tree branches.
"What are you thinking about?"
The eldest princess tapped the ground lightly with her toes, held up the hem of her skirt with both hands, and walked up to Zeng Anmin.
She looked into Zeng Anmin's straight eyes.
For a moment, his face looked a little unnatural.
Therefore, his face fell slightly and his chin was slightly raised.
“Ahem!”
Zeng Anmin knew that he had lost his composure, so he quickly bowed to the princess and said:
"The princess's demeanor is like a fairy from the Moon Palace. An Min has never seen such a magnificent beauty. He was stunned for a moment. I hope Your Highness will not blame me for the offense."
He is very calm.
The eldest princess was indeed the most perfect woman he had ever seen.
Not only good-looking.
Her figure is so perfect too.
He is also a fourth-rank military officer of the current royal family.
Smart.
Excellent in handling matters.
The battle between her and the Lion King just now and her agile figure are still lingering in Zeng Anmin's mind.
"Oh."
After the eldest princess heard Zeng Anmin's words.
I don't know why, but a sense of shame arose in my heart.
She covered it with a chuckle.
"Just now, I went to the southern part of Bixuan Valley. Guess what I discovered?"
Zeng Anmin blinked, then touched his chin and replied:
"I just heard from Wu Qianfeng that you followed the trail to explore the mines in the mountains. Did you discover any minerals?"
The eldest princess's eyes still showed joy, and the smile on her face became more and more intense:
"That's right, I discovered a spiritual mine!"
Spiritual ore?
Zeng Anmin's eyes trembled suddenly, he looked up at the princess with his eyes wide open:
"Spirit Stone Mine?!"
"Yes!"
Seeing Zeng Anmin's shock, the princess couldn't help but chuckle and said:
"Thanks for reminding me to lead the troops here."
"Otherwise, we would have missed this spiritual mine!"
"The Xuanzhen Division, the Dao Sect, the Eastern Sect, and so on... these practitioners use spirit stones as currency for transactions. Now, our Great Saint Dynasty has discovered this kind of spirit mine..."
The eldest princess' eyes sparkled:
"God help our Great Holy Dynasty!!"
"Zeng Anmin, you have made the greatest contribution to the discovery of this mine!"
"Upon our return, I will ask His Majesty to confer a title upon you!"
The eldest princess looked straight at Zeng Anmin, her eyes unable to conceal her admiration.
"Well."
Zeng Anmin coughed dryly, then straightened his eyes, bowed to the princess and said:
"Princess, you are wrong."
"The main credit for this battle goes to Dean Qin."
"If he and Bi Xuan had not defeated them, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to enter this place."
Mention Qin Shoucheng.
Zeng Anmin's tone was somewhat solemn.
The smile on the eldest princess's face slowly disappeared.
She sighed softly:
"Dean Qin is both virtuous and talented, and of high moral character. I will certainly commend him for the first place."
"However, your contribution is still not small. After last night's battle in Bifeng Valley, your reputation as a capable general will surely spread far and wide."
"Thank you so much, Princess."
Zeng Anmin bowed solemnly to the eldest princess.
"No need to thank me, this is what you and Dean Qin deserve."
"By the way, Princess, we should go back and report the results of this battle to Marshal Tian."
Zeng Anmin looked towards the eldest princess, his face serious as he said:
"Leave Wu Qianfeng with the troops to guard this place. I and the princess will lead the troops to the front road and bring back some military supplies."
"Um."
…
The next day.
The eldest princess and Zeng Anmin led a thousand soldiers and left Bifeng Valley, heading towards the road ahead.
It took five days to get here.
The eldest princess and Zeng Anmin took three days.
After all, there is no need to fight, and there is no need to worry about enemies coming from all directions.
All possible enemies around have been cleared out.
"Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Meet Commander Zeng."
When the two men arrived at the front road, there was a grain transport officer waiting there.
This grain transport officer was from the army at the foot of Tian Jishan and was delivering grain to the 5,000 Yuanyang soldiers.
When they went to Bifeng Valley, Zeng Anmin and the princess discussed launching a blitzkrieg.
Fight to support war.
Following the army means killing monsters and obtaining food.
Therefore, there is really no need to transport food and supplies here.
"How much food is stored?"
The eldest princess looked at the grain transport officer with a calm expression.
The grain transport officer pursed his lips slightly.
He said with difficulty:
"Princess, the Duke hasn't delivered any rations to our army for three days."
When the princess heard this, she narrowed her eyes and looked at the grain transport officer:
"Hasn't it been sent in three days?"
"Yes."
Her eyes slowly turned towards Zeng Anmin.
Zeng Anmin's face also showed a solemn expression.
"Two possibilities."
His eyes met the eldest princess's:
"First, the food supply route between our army and the Duke of Wei was attacked."
"But this grain route is only known to you and the Duke of Wei, so the possibility of it being leaked is unlikely."
"As for the second one..."
Zeng Anmin's eyes were filled with solemnity:
"The supply route of the Duke of Wei's army at the foot of the mountain was attacked, and the remaining food and fodder cannot meet the army's needs..."
The eldest princess's eyes also became extremely solemn:
"Therefore, there is no ability to transport food to our army."
"Yes."
Zeng Anmin took a deep breath and said, "No matter what the reason is, we must investigate it first."
…………
In the south of Baideng Mountain, on the vast plain.
Under the city of Guangnan County.
An army of 10,000 is engaged in a brutal siege.
Duke Tian Ji of Wei had an extremely solemn look in his eyes.
He stood leaning on his sword and looked towards the solid Guangnan County.
Ladders, soldiers, and shouts of killing.
After nearly half a month of siege.
Guangnan County, where the King of Jiang State resides, is already on the verge of collapse.
but……
Even this crumbling city could not be conquered after a long siege.
A huge city.
East, west, south.
There were large armies attacking on three sides.
The smell of blood and decay had already permeated the air.
Duke Tian Ji of Wei looked extremely unhappy.
His face froze coldly.
Around him.
The expressions of several deputy generals were also extremely anxious.
The gloomy atmosphere weighed on everyone's heart.
"How many days can the army's food and fodder last?"
Tian Ji looked at the dusty general kneeling in front of him.
There was an unconcealable solemnity in his eyes.
"If you use it sparingly, it'll barely last seven days."
"After seven days, our army's morale will be shaken."
"If there is no military rations in seven days, I'm afraid there will be a camp cry."
The general kneeling on the ground sighed deeply.
"Use sparingly..."
These four words sound easy.
But it sounds extremely cruel.
The daily allowance of one jin of food per person would be reduced to half a jin, or even three jin...
How can soldiers fight if they don't have enough to eat?
"And our army has now lost 20,000 soldiers."
"But a rough estimate shows that there are only about 3,000 combat-ready soldiers left in the enemy city."
"If we have enough food and supplies, we will be able to capture this city within ten days."
The general pursed his lips tightly.
“But the food and supplies…will not be able to hold out.”
Duke Tian Ji of Wei narrowed his eyes and stared intently at the army that was attacking the city.
There was a long silence.
"We're still two days short of rations..."
"We're just two days short of rations..."
His hand gripped the hilt of the sword tightly.
"The food supply route was attacked..."
His narrowed eyes could not hide his murderous intent:
"Wang Feng, you can't even defend the northern pass of the county to prevent the Jiang Kingdom's army from sneaking in and attacking our army's food supply line!!"
Everyone was silent.
No one answered him.
"General, if we withdraw our troops today, we still have room for maneuver."
"But if you don't retreat... we must capture Guangnan County City within seven days."
"It would be good if we could capture Guangnan County. We could use the food of the people there to feed their hunger."
"But if we fail to capture the city, and a camp riot occurs... and deserters appear..."
"This isn't the worst of it. If the Southern King in the city notices our army's disorder and attacks again..."
Every word made Tian Ji's face look uglier.
He stared at the city intently.
"Your Majesty's great cause...is short of two days' worth of military rations!"
His lips trembled.
A line of tears of humiliation flowed from his eyes.
"I, Tian Ji, am unworthy of the Holy Grace!!"
“I am unworthy of the Holy Spirit’s grace!!”
His voice was extremely hoarse.
He held the sword tightly in his hand, staring at the siege army that was advancing one after another. Some were killed, but others were immediately replaced.
"Your Excellency, the Deputy Commander of the Yuanyang Army, Zeng Anmin, requests an audience."
Someone suddenly walked towards the tent and knelt down to worship.
"The Mandarin Duck Army..."
Hearing this, Tian Ji's face suddenly froze.
His face showed guilt.
"We haven't delivered food to the Yuanyang Army for three days. He must be here to urge for more..."
"How can I face him..."
Tian Ji pursed his lips tightly.
He didn't dare to look at the person kneeling on the ground.
He waved his hand weakly and said:
"not see."
…
There was silence in the tent for a long time.
The person kneeling on the ground slowly raised his head and looked at Tian Ji seriously.
"General Tian, Commander Zeng said he knows you're in trouble and he's here to deliver food to you."
?
?
?
The entire tent fell into silence instantly after hearing these words.
Tian Ji suddenly raised his head and looked at the man:
“Please come in quickly!!”
"yes."
…………
"Anmin, I greet the Duke. May the Duke be blessed."
Zeng Anmin was not wearing any light armor at this time. He was dressed in a green robe and had a contented smile on his face. He slowly came out of the big tent door.
He came to Tian Ji and bowed gently to him.
Tian Ji stared at Zeng Anmin intently:
"You...know everything?"
Zeng Anmin chuckled, "If the food supply route hadn't been attacked, why hasn't General Tian sent any food to our Yuanyang Army in three days?"
"Then you said you have food..."
Tian Ji took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Do you know that there is no joking in the army?"
Zeng Anmin curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
At some point, a feather fan appeared in his hand.
He gently waved his feather fan, his eyes showing a calm demeanor.
"Ten days ago, Dean Qin killed the Bixuan Demon King on the Baideng Mountain Trail."
"Our army will attack Bifeng Valley directly and occupy it."
"We didn't loot much food, but we still have nearly 30,000 demon corpses."
"There are quite a lot of corpses of bear demons, wolf demons, dog demons, and pig demons."
"Oh, and there are quite a few dead birds and beasts as well."
"I think if we can have the Marshal's troops improve their food and eat some wild game, they won't have any problems for four or five days."
Zeng Anmin finished speaking.
Duke Tian Ji of Wei is also good.
There are more than ten generals in the tent.
Everyone felt as if they had heard the most unbelievable words in the world.
They all looked stunned.
Duke Tian Ji of Wei.
This Duke has fought wars for half his life.
Now open your eyes wide.
Staring at Zeng Anmin in front of him.
"What did you say?!"
"Bixuan is dead?!"
"Capture Bifeng Valley?!"
Zeng Anmin waved his feather fan lightly, a hint of satisfaction appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Your Majesty, you heard it correctly. Every word is true."
Tian Ji's eyes slowly became dull, and he couldn't help but murmur:
"We agreed to just defend the mountain... and you guys just attacked it directly?"
