Because of Agil's followers' sacrifice, they no longer had the weapons to attack the city and had to rely on themselves.
Now, Yunhai is on full alert and has taken them very seriously. Therefore, they will not give them any opportunity to take advantage of the situation. They have returned to their best combat state and are defending the city firmly.
On Gortz's side, the city was defended by two generals who had followed King Yunhai for over twenty years. The two were very experienced, and their soldiers were also very brave. In the time it took to lose the first two cities, they had carefully set up this last line of defense, and Gortz's side couldn't even break through it.
If we can capture this city, we can directly enter the Cloud Sea Royal City.
King Yunhai was stationed in the royal city, while Ajir guarded the southwest direction.
To the south lay the army led by Gu Xin and Cheng Huaijin, and to the west lay the army led by Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu.
Gu Xin and her group need to capture Giant Stone City and Ganzhen City to enter Cloud Sea Royal City, while Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu only need to capture Fog Cloud City.
Taking advantage of the gap between Fogcloud City and Ganzhen City, Agil directed her men to set up various traps under the city walls.
She had considered one point: if the other side still had that thing in the Flowing Sand Kingdom, then the deployment in the west and south would need to be layered on top of that.
Based on her current assessment, she is certain that Gortz no longer possesses that item, so she is confident in relying solely on manpower to resist.
Currently, Yunhai still has a total of 500,000 troops. Agil leads 200,000, Gorz has 200,000, and King Yunhai leads 100,000 to guard the royal city, ready to provide reinforcements at any time.
"This humble servant greets Princess Xin Xin!" Ying Shiyuding approached Gu Xin and bowed respectfully.
"Hmm, what is it?" Gu Xin looked at Ying Shiyu and asked.
“Your Highness, I am quite familiar with Boulder City and know a way to enter the city without going through the city gates. However, this road is difficult to travel,” Ying Shiyu said after a moment’s thought.
"Where? The walls of Boulder City are made of piles of stones. A direct assault is completely impossible; there's no way to find a breach!" Gu Xin didn't believe it.
“Your Highness, there is a river to the southwest of Giant Stone City. It may not be visible when it's frozen. But it will be visible in spring. That river flows through the entire city. I originally intended to say that in about half a month, as the weather warms up and the ice melts, even if we still can't conquer it, Your Highness will be able to find the path. However, seeing Your Highness gazing at Giant Stone City in deep thought, I decided to try mentioning it. Of course, if Your Highness finds this approach unfeasible, then I was just being presumptuous!” Ying Shiyu Ding said.
Gu Xin stared at Ying Shiyuding for a while, then asked, "Can you draw a map of the river layout within Giant Stone City?"
Ying Shiyu nodded: "I have a house, so I use this river water."
Gu Xin called Ying Shiyu and Ding to go find Peng Ze.
It just so happens that Peng Ze and Gu Hui brought mostly naval soldiers with them when they came from the sea. After all, when traveling at sea, it is appropriate to bring naval soldiers.
Cheng Huaijin wasn't a very good swimmer, so naturally the girls couldn't go with him.
Peng Ze summoned his deputy, looked at the drawing Ying Shiyuding had made, asked some questions about various parts of the drawing, and after discussing it for a while, they concluded: "It's worth a try."
Then they explained their plan: to head further west, to act at night, and to rest at Ying Shiyuding's house after entering the city of Giant Stone.
One very important point is the credibility of this "Welcoming the Ten Rains" story.
