While Gu Yingxue was recovering, Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu had already moved most of the Yun Haijun's supplies in Liangjing away, leaving only a small portion, which was then discovered by the Yun Haijun.
However, Xue Qianyu's deputy general led a large army to cause trouble on the other side, and the people guarding the granary could not catch up at all.
Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu didn't want the remaining half. When the last team of people transported the supplies to the cave, Xue Qianyu fired a signal flare.
The entire quicksand army here launched an attack from two directions.
...
Cheng Huaijin spent the whole night dealing with the mad bull and returned to the camp.
"The information is correct, there was indeed a large group of mad cows, but it's been dealt with. We can take this opportunity to attack!" Cheng Huaijin called over Gu Xin and the others and said.
"Brother, is King Yunhai in the city?" Gu Xin asked.
“I went to check, but there’s nothing there.” Cheng Huaijin said while wiping the liquid off his body. “He went back to the capital to take charge. I predict that if Yunhai doesn’t win a single battle within half a month, they will flee.”
"How so?" Gu Xin asked.
"When I went to check if the King of Yunhai was in the city, I overheard a wealthy merchant having dinner with a military commander, and they were discussing this issue. The merchant offered up most of his wealth in hopes of escaping with him. The military commander accepted the money and also revealed that he was making preparations, telling the man to go to the capital to find so-and-so first, and then use some more silver!" Cheng Huaijin explained.
“It’s already December, so if it’s within half a month, it will have to be before January!” Gu Xin stroked her chin, her brows furrowed. “It’s a pity that Brother Yuanyuan and the others were discovered, otherwise we could have figured out their escape route.”
"It's alright, we'll fight them and catch up to find out their route," Cheng Huaijin reassured him.
“Alright, brother, you rest for a bit. I’ll go with my older sister and the others to lead the attack on the city,” Gu Xin said.
Cheng Huaijin also wanted to go, but Gu Xin kept him behind, saying that he would stay in the city to guard it, in case there was still a Mad Bull, he could lead people to provide support.
Cheng Huaijin knew that Gu Xin was worried about him staying up all night to cause trouble, but Gu Xin was right, so he didn't refuse.
Gu Xin led her men to attack the next city.
The bugle sounded, and the morale of the Quicksand Army soared.
Gu Hui, Jinghe, and Princess He San Niang witnessed Gu Xin's bravery once again; her ability to kill enemies was truly no less than that of any soldier of the Great Zhou.
On Yunhai's side, upon seeing the arrival of the Liusha Army, he immediately prepared to send his soldiers to release the wild buffalo. However, upon arriving at the scene, he found that all the wild buffalo had collapsed to the ground. They were still breathing, but no matter how hard he tried, they couldn't be revived.
The soldiers rushed off to report to the city's general.
Upon hearing this, the general was alarmed. These wild bulls were their trump card, as they were ferocious and one bull could fight many people. Once they went berserk, no one could control them. Therefore, King Yunhai did not send many troops to this city.
The quicksand army is coming in with overwhelming force. Can their small force withstand it?
Finally, the general of this city made a decision: to run away to the next city.
This resulted in Gu Xin and her men breaching the city walls and occupying the city in just a few hours.
Princess Jinghe shook her head: "Aren't the soldiers in the west said to be brave? How could they desert? Instead of fighting to the death to defend their territory, they actually fled when the enemy attacked?"
