Volume 1 Chapter 255: The Army Approaches
Originally, the city that Jiang Yue and Jiang Fei had captured was not returned. The Great Sun Dynasty immediately dispatched troops to garrison there, so in these days it has almost become a city that belongs to the Great Sun Dynasty.
The Black Witch Kingdom did not dare to come and take it. After all, if it showed hostility again, the army of the Great Sun Dynasty would attack again.
They had spent a lot of effort to get the Jiang brothers to leave, so how could they be so cheap as to invite them back?
In this way, the army led by Xiang Yun could still pass through the pass to the south unimpeded. The four million troops directly entered the Chuangbei Pass, which originally belonged to the Black Witch Kingdom, and then passed through Kaibei City, Ningyin City, Qingji City, and camped two miles outside Shimen City.
The densely packed military camps completely blocked all the roads outside Shimen City. People in the city simply couldn't leave the city because there was no way to go.
The army is besieging the city, which makes the lord of Shimen City as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. After receiving the news a few days ago, he immediately submitted a memorial to the king in order to seek a solution, but there has been no news until now. If the army of the Great Sun Dynasty comes, what should he do?
Due to the emergency situation, the Lord of Shimen City had no choice but to move his residence to the city gate, and put the defenders in the city into a wartime state, and a large amount of city defense supplies were also transported in.
Before receiving the king's order, as the lord of the city, he would survive as long as the city survived, and die as long as the city fell.
After only half a day's rest and dinner, Xiang Yun ordered the entire army to break camp and march towards Shimen City.
This massive move frightened the Lord of Shimen City. He immediately waved his hand and a large number of archers appeared on the city wall. As long as these troops dared to attack the city, they would be killed to the death.
When they were within the range of the arrows, the Lord of Shimen City shouted, "If you dare to come any closer, I will kill you without mercy!"
Xiang Yun, who was standing under the city, laughed and said to Song Yun beside him, "Look, the emperor's son-in-law came home but was not even allowed to enter the house. Isn't this a bit unreasonable?"
"It's not me who wants to start a war, but your Black Witch Nation is refusing to open the gates. If a fight breaks out, don't blame my Fire Cloud Army for being too brutal!"
Song Yun turned pale when she heard that. Without saying anything to Yun, she rode out on her horse and rushed to the foot of Shimen City. She shouted, "I am Princess Song Yun of the Black Witch Country. I am here to visit my relatives. Open the city gate quickly and let us in!"
The Lord of Shimen City recognized Song Yun at a glance, but what the eldest princess said was too bizarre for him to believe. You are kidding me, you are bringing an army of four million with you.
At the same time, he was also a little sad. It is said that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled. It has only been a short time since Her Royal Highness the Princess got married, but now she has turned her elbow outward. This is outrageous, too outrageous!
Seeing that the people on the city wall did not react, Song Yun's face couldn't help but turn ugly. As expected, her status in the Black Witch Kingdom had been greatly reduced after she got married, and these people were no longer afraid of her.
However, Song Yun still couldn't bear to watch the Black Witch Kingdom fall into a desperate war, so she scolded again: "Lord of Shimen City, do you want to rebel? How dare you stop this princess's carriage on her way home? Do you want to go to war with the Great Sun Dynasty?"
Song Yun used her status to pressure the enemy again. The Lord of Shimen City, who did not want to fight, shouted, "Your Highness the Princess can return home, but she and the Emperor of the Great Sun Dynasty are only allowed to bring 100 attendants with them. If you agree, I will open the city gates immediately. Otherwise, the city will be there and the people will be there!"
Song Yun's face was uncertain, and she couldn't make up her mind, so she had to turn her head to look at Xiang Yun. At this time, Xiang Yun was staring at the Lord of Shimen City with admiration, and said to Jiang Fei beside him: "This Lord of Shimen City is also a courageous person. He remained calm and fearless when four million troops were approaching the city. He has the demeanor of a general. When the city is conquered, I will see if I can take him in and make him a general."
Jiang Fei nodded calmly and said, "Yes!"
Seeing that Xiang Yun ignored her, Song Yun felt bitter. She turned around and tried to persuade them to open the city gate. But before she could open her mouth, Xiang Yun behind her started to curse, "The Black Witch Nation is too arrogant. They even dare to block my way. If you don't give me face, then I'll beat you!"
At the same time, Jiang Fei shouted loudly: "The Sun Cannon is ready! Ready~"
"put!"
"Boom!" There was a loud explosion. The Lord of Shimen City was still observing the development of the situation, and was hesitating in his heart whether this approach was right or not. He even secretly hoped that the emperor of the Great Sun Dynasty would really bring the eldest princess back home, and then agree to his request to bring only a hundred troops.
But before the beautiful idea could even begin, the gate of Shimen City had already flown out, and even the entire city wall began to shake, making it impossible for them to stand steadily on the wall.
This shot also frightened Song Yun in front of him. She was completely dumbfounded and didn't know what had just happened? Was this kind of terrifying weapon really from the Great Sun Dynasty? Was this the real strength of the Great Sun Dynasty army?
Before the sound of the artillery shells had completely dissipated, Song Yun heard Jiang Fei's loud order: "All troops enter the city, and those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
"No, don't!" Song Yun shouted hurriedly, but no one paid attention to her. A large number of Huoyun soldiers armed with rifles rushed towards the gate of Shimen City.
By the time the Lord of Shimen City reacted, one or two Fire Cloud Army soldiers had already rushed into Shimen City, and their number was still increasing rapidly.
His face turned extremely pale. If they let the army enter the city, Shimen City would definitely be lost. He immediately ordered, "Archers, shoot them all!"
After stabilizing themselves, the archers on the city wall immediately drew their bows and arrows without aiming. After all, the enemy troops below were so densely packed that even a blind man could hit them.
But the Fire Cloud Army did not fire a single shot when they entered the city. When the Black Witch soldiers on the city wall drew their bows and arrows, gunshots were heard!
The fact that the Huoyun Army did not open fire did not mean that they did not pay attention to the enemy troops on the city wall. Once they made threatening movements, the well-trained Huoyun Army would aim and shoot at the first opportunity to eliminate the danger.
Dense gunshots were heard, and the archers on Shimen City fell down one by one like dumplings, or fell on the spot and lost their lives.
After two waves of attacks, no soldier would dare to show up no matter what orders the Lord of Shimen City gave. At this time, the sound of gunfire coming from inside Shimen City became more frequent and more intense, and it was obvious that they were fighting against the large-scale defenders in Shimen City.
Song Yun watched in dismay as a large number of Fire Cloud Army charged into Shimen City. Her heart ached, but she was powerless to do anything. At this moment, Xiang Yun rode his horse slowly past her. He never looked down at her, but just walked forward silently, with Jiang Fei following behind him.
At this moment, Song Yun only felt that Xiang Yun's figure was so indifferent, and this world was so cruel and realistic.
This is the real world, without so much beauty and fantasy. She is not the protagonist of the world, and all the good things in the world will not revolve around her. There is only the reality of the survival of the fittest!
Finally, Song Yun could no longer bear this grievance. She fell to the ground and cried in pain, with tears streaming down her face, as if she couldn't stop them at all.
She couldn't remember when she last cried or why, but she didn't know why this time either. She just felt that the world was full of deep malice.
A girl's heart is most fragile at this time. If someone can come to comfort her at this time, there is a great chance that he or she can enter the girl's heart.
It’s a pity that Song Yun couldn’t wait for such a person. There were many men around her, but without exception, they only had Shimen City in front of them in their eyes, and the only word on their lips was always “kill”.
As time went on, the helpless Song Yun couldn't help crying even more sadly. She raised her head slightly, wanting to see if anyone was paying attention to her, and if anyone could come over to give her some support.
But when she looked up, she found that the Shimen city wall was densely populated by the Fire Cloud Army of the Great Sun Dynasty, and there was no army from the Black Witch Kingdom. The Emperor Xiang Yun was also on the top of the city wall at this moment, looking down at her, with a look as if he was looking at an ant.
"Asshole! Asshole, big asshole!" No one came to comfort him. Song Yun couldn't help but turn from grievance to anger. He pointed at Xiang Yun and cursed: "Kill me if you have the guts, or never look at me like that again!"
Her loud curse revealed her true nature as a shrew and frightened many of the Fire Cloud Army soldiers around her.
Xiang Yun frowned slightly when he heard this, and said softly: "Go and bring Concubine Song to me, remember to be gentle."
After saying this, Xiang Yun turned around and walked towards the depths of Shimen City. After receiving the order, Jiang Yue immediately sent someone to pick up Song Yun and bring him into the city.
Black Witch Kingdom Palace
Song Hao slammed the table and yelled, "How can anyone bring back an army of four million? This is simply too much!"
Song Hao was really furious. At this moment, an official in the hall stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Great Sun Dynasty said the word 'return home', which means that we are one family with the Black Witch Kingdom, and we are friends, not enemies.
Now that the Great Sun Dynasty has unified the territories of the Mahayana Kingdom and Mobei, this behavior is to remind Your Majesty to fulfill the agreement as soon as possible and surrender the whole country!"
Song Hao angrily scolded: "I didn't know what he meant, but how could I do such a thing? I would be a sinner for eternity!
What I want now is a plan to withdraw the troops. If any of you have a plan, please stop hiding it and tell me now. I will reward you handsomely!"
All the civil and military officials fell silent. After a long while, the censor spoke again: "Your Majesty, the matter is a foregone conclusion. The Great Sun Dynasty's dominance over the world is destiny, and we are powerless to change it.
Your Majesty, please make plans early and surrender voluntarily, so that you can save your life. With the relationship with the princess, your Majesty's wealth and glory in this life can still be guaranteed. If you wait until the emperor of the Great Sun Dynasty leads his troops into the palace, I am afraid that by then, it will be too late for your Majesty to surrender!"
As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials knelt down and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please make plans early!"
