With the confidence given to her by Li Zhu, Nazha stood up from her horse and shouted loudly.
"Where is the Heavenly Punishment Army?!"
"exist!"
Zhao Feng responded with a roar, which made Nazha smile slightly; she was really being very polite...
"Heavenly punishment descends upon the world, driving away the mighty enemy!"
"The Heavenly Punishment Army sets off..."
Upon receiving Nazha's order, Zhao Feng roared and led the Heavenly Punishment Army to circle around the city in another direction...
They soon encountered the Loulan army. Zhao Feng waved his hand, igniting the few remaining Heavenly Punishments, which flew straight towards the Loulan army…
Cavalrymen naturally fear archers the most, but archers also fear cavalrymen, because against the speed of cavalrymen, archers can only fire three to five volleys of arrows at most, and even such volleys are not very accurate...
However, Zhao Feng doesn't need three rounds; he only needs one. He also doesn't need accuracy; he just needs the arrow to land in the middle of the enemy ranks…
His purpose in coming out this time wasn't to kill many enemy soldiers, but simply to scare them away first, giving them ample time to take over the city's defenses...
Amidst the bewildered gazes of the Loulan soldiers, divine punishment finally descended upon their path of attack. Seeing no danger, they did not halt their advance…
However, they failed to notice the burning fuses on the arrows. When they stepped into the area covered by the arrows, a series of loud explosions rang out, and the Loulan army was immediately thrown into chaos...
The Xiliang soldiers on the city wall had never seen such a scene before. The Loulan army, which terrified them so much, was falling down in droves like porcelain dolls...
Screams and cries of alarm rang out. The Loulan general in charge of the rear guard turned deathly pale at the sight. Seeing the Heavenly Punishment Army nocking their arrows once more, he was so frightened that he immediately sounded the retreat and dared not continue the attack…
The more valiant they were in the charge, the more pathetic their retreat became...
The soldiers on the city wall finally realized that the enemy had retreated and they were safe. The reason for their great victory was the newly arrived princess. At this moment, they were filled not only with gratitude but also with admiration for her…
"Your Highness...Princess...Loulan has retreated..."
Chulian stammered, completely stunned by what he saw…
"This is nothing. I will not only defeat the Loulan army, but also turn the Loulan king into a prisoner of our Western Liang, so they will know the price of going back on their word..."
Naza spoke with absolute confidence. If she had said this before, probably no one would have believed her. But after the great victory just now, and seeing the immense power unleashed by the divine punishment, everyone knew that Naza was not joking…
"Your Highness, I am willing to follow you in conquering Loulan..."
Chulian knelt on one knee and swore allegiance!
"Arise! You will be proud of your choice today, for you will witness how we annihilate the enemy..."
Naza helped Lian Ge up and said in a very domineering way!
Li Zhu was busy settling the soldiers, but his busyness was relative; he was merely watching others work. After all, Wang Yanzhang was the professional in organizing the army, and he was watching a professional do the work…
The allied forces of Loulan and the Abbasid Caliphate, who had been advancing with unstoppable momentum, finally came to a halt, and news of the battle reached Loulan City...
The common people were just chatting casually, but the king in the palace became tense. After all, his capital was indefensible, and if the enemy army attacked, there was a high chance that they would breach the city. Most importantly, this was not the first time...
Because he refused to submit, he was defeated by the Xiongnu and even had his eldest son sent as a hostage, which is how he was spared from being annihilated...
After surrendering to the Xiongnu, he opposed the Central Plains at every turn. The previous dynasty was on the verge of collapse, and they even sent people to directly attack his capital, capture the king and take him back to Chang'an. He was so frightened that he dared not breathe and eventually became obedient for a long time.
Now they've even set their sights on Xiliang. I really don't know who gave this king the courage to keep recklessly testing the limits of his own destiny...
Meanwhile, in some corner of Loulan, Blue Phoenix also heard this news…
She couldn't help but say angrily
"Is Li Zhu some kind of clingy pest? Why can't I shake him off? He even chased me all the way to Loulan..."
Sitting next to her were Hong Fenghuang and Wang Riqing. Contrary to expectations of being a prisoner, Wang Riqing was not bound...
However, Wang Riqing had no intention of escaping; instead, he seemed resigned to his fate…
Lan Fenghuang tossed a small red pill at Wang Riqing and said coldly.
"Eat this, and remember, you need to take one of these antidotes every day, or you'll suffer excruciating torment and die..."
"Hmph! Just a bunch of stray dogs, what's so great about them..."
Wang Riqing also responded with a cold sneer, his tone quite defiant…
"Watch your mouth if you don't want to suffer, otherwise I don't mind delaying the antidote by half an hour every day..."
"Did I say something wrong? Being chased and beaten all the way to Loulan by Brother Zhu, I have to say you guys are pretty incompetent..."
Wang Riqing continued to mock!
"Believe it or not, I'll kill you right now..."
Red Phoenix immediately stood up, her temper flaring, and said, her eyes already viewing Wang Riqing as a dead man…
"Kill them... I'm just afraid you won't dare..."
Wang Riqing said sarcastically that she was now poisoned by a Gu curse and couldn't die even if she wanted to. He was provoking her like this in the hopes that she would kill him in a fit of anger, so that he could be free and not cause trouble for others...
She was just very sorry that she couldn't see Li Zhu one more time. Even after what happened, Li Zhu still held a very important place in her heart...
"you…"
Just as Red Phoenix was about to say something, Red Phoenix interrupted and said...
"Alright, she's still useful. Once Li Zhu's army arrives, we'll give him a surprise. Maybe then we can help the Demon God reclaim his divided soul..."
Hearing Blue Phoenix's words, Red Phoenix had no choice but to suppress her anger and sit back down...
Wang Riqing's sarcastic words followed immediately; she looked at Hong Fenghuang with disdain and said...
"What a coward, thinking he's so capable..."
"you…"
Red Phoenix gritted her teeth in anger, pointing at Wang Riqing but unable to speak. Perhaps to vent her anger, Blue Phoenix took out a short flute and began to play it rhythmically…
Wang Riqing immediately collapsed to the ground in agony, convulsing, until he no longer had the strength to even scream, at which point the other party finally stopped…
Red Phoenix said viciously
"If you're going to be a hostage, you have to be prepared for it. If you dare to play any tricks, I'll show you what it means to wish you were dead..."
Wang Riqing was panting heavily. The ordeal she had just endured had exhausted all her strength. She could barely move her eyelids; otherwise, she would definitely have retorted...
