Madam Peng was tempted, but she didn't say anything. Anyway, there was still more than a month to go, so they could talk slowly.
She also took the opportunity to check out the environment along the way. If things went smoothly and things went well with the west side, it might be worth a try.
...
As they set off, Gu Xin and her group also headed towards Giant Stone City.
Peng Ze had already explained tomorrow's tasks to his subordinates and was just waiting for Gu Xin and the others to arrive.
In the afternoon, after Gu Xin and her group arrived, they did not exchange pleasantries but went into the city lord's mansion to begin their meeting.
On this side of the team, Peng Ze handed over the reins to Gu Xin, who was the princess of the quicksand, to be the commander-in-chief. He and Lu Zheng were generals from the Great Zhou Dynasty who would cooperate with Gu Xin.
Gu Xin did not refuse. There were many soldiers in the Flowing Sand Army and few in the Great Zhou Army. The Flowing Sand Army trusted her, and in their hearts, she was the one who gave orders.
Ganzhen City is a typical city, much easier to conquer than Jushi City.
However, the number of Yunhai's army is still very large, so we cannot let our guard down.
That day, everyone discussed until late at night before going to rest.
On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, before dawn, Peng Ze fired two signal flares each to the west and east.
They have been communicating with both sides for the past two days. They will attack Wuyun City, where Xue Qianyu and Cheng Huaijin are located, when they fire the second signal flare. As for Gaozi's side, they will attack when they fire the first signal flare. In other words, Gaozi's side and Gu Xin's side will attack at the same time.
It took a whole day to breach Ganzhen City. Surprisingly, neither Ajir nor Yunhai's general were there. They seemed to have abandoned the city, but judging from General Yunhai's desperate resistance, it didn't seem like they had given up on Ganzhen City.
"Brother-in-law, fire the signal flare and tell Second Brother Xue and my brother that we're going to attack Yunhai Royal City directly!" It was already night after entering the city, but Gu Xin did not linger.
Peng Ze fired a signal flare.
From afar, the Cloud Sea Royal City was brightly lit, as if some grand event was being held.
Soon, the three groups of people arrived at the three city gates of Yunhai Royal City.
On the city wall, archers and catapults were already ready.
Gu Xin looked up but didn't see Ajir. She frowned. Did he just run away like that? Did he not even try?
This feeling is very strange.
However, we've already reached the city gate; there's no way we can give up now.
"attack!"
At Gu Xin's command, her soldiers charged toward the city gate.
The catapults and archers on the city wall also began to move.
The Liusha Army, carrying shields, covered the Great Zhou Army as they arrived at the city gate. The Great Zhou Army carried a solid log and was also covered as they reached the city gate.
"One, two, three, charge!"
The leader shouted.
"One, two, three, charge!"
They carried the solid wood forward, and the wood crashed into the gate.
"One, two, three, charge!"
One stroke after another, neat and powerful.
Swords rained down from the city walls, and falling stones injured many soldiers.
The soldiers disregarded their own injuries and began to climb one on top of another, forming a human ladder. When the human ladder was halfway built, Gu Xin, Lu Zheng, Peng Ze, Gu Hui, and a few others started climbing up from under several parts of the human ladder.
Even though the Liusha Army and the Great Zhou Army had just fought a battle during the day, everyone was in high spirits. They had already reached the outskirts of Yunhai Royal City, and with all their might, they charged in!
