"A-Ning, why are you awake so early?" Jin Yan got up, still sleepy.
“I went to bed early yesterday,” Leng Qingning replied calmly.
Jin Yan smiled, put on his shoes, walked over, and hugged her from behind. "Are you still thinking about the troop deployment?"
"No."
"We'll be setting out soon, A-Ning, don't worry. Your husband will lead the charge for you, okay?"
Leng Qingning chuckled lightly, "Hehe, okay."
"Then I'll go wash up first." He said, and planted a kiss on the top of her head.
"Um."
………
At daybreak, a million-strong army set off, fully equipped.
I have 300,000 troops stationed at the main camp.
Leng Qingning, clad in black armor, leaped onto her warhorse, a dark cloak draped over its back. Her eyes were resolute and bright, her face exuding a cold and murderous aura, and stray hairs at her temples fluttered in the wind.
The voice was firm and powerful: "All troops, attack!"
Jin Yan and Cang Yuan mounted their horses and followed closely behind.
The army marched out of the camp in a majestic and orderly fashion, shouting slogans as they went.
Qi State Swallow Pass
This place is where two mountains meet, and Yuejun has to pass through a narrow pass to get onto the Yancheng National Highway.
This was also what Leng Qingning was most worried about; Yanziguan was the best place for Qi's army to ambush.
There are high mountains on both the left and right sides, and there must be an ambush on the mountains.
However, the area around Yancheng is the vital passage to the Qi Kingdom and the only breakthrough point that can connect to the main city, so we have no choice but to face the difficulties head-on.
The army moved forward slowly.
At the very front, the commander, clad in a black cloak, carefully led the army forward.
The team safely crossed half of the pass.
Suddenly, a horn sounded from the mountain, and a loud shout pierced the valley and echoed between the two mountains.
"The one wearing the black cloak is the commander of the Yue army. Fire the arrows."
"put."
As soon as he finished speaking, countless arrows rained down on the front.
The army was already prepared, raising their sturdy shields to block the arrows.
Wave after wave of arrows flew swiftly, and the sound of arrowheads piercing shields was as loud as cannonballs.
The arrows rained down on the front, and the soldiers at the front gradually could not withstand the attack. Some of their shields were riddled with holes and could no longer be used, and many soldiers were shot and killed.
The remaining soldiers all moved towards the center, raised their shields, and together protected the black-clad general.
Fifteen minutes later, the rain of arrows stopped.
Immediately afterwards, the commander gave the order: "Down!"
The second wave of rolling stones came crashing down, no longer targeting only the front.
The boulders came crashing down with a deafening roar, and the soldiers quickly changed formation, huddling together and raising their shields in all directions.
"Ah!!!" Screams rose and fell.
The soldiers fought back tenaciously, even though some had their fingers broken or their heads were bleeding from being hit by rubble, they still resisted stubbornly and never gave up.
The soldiers gritted their teeth and persevered.
Unfortunately, this wave has resulted in more than 100,000 deaths and injuries.
Moreover, the entire vanguard has been wiped out.
On the mountain, someone shouted excitedly, "The commander of the Yue army is dead! Soldiers, kill!"
The third wave of fireballs flew out, covering the sky and turning the bright sky above into a blood red.
At the command of the troops below the mountain, the soldiers changed formation once again.
Fireballs rained down, and the soldiers threw away their banners and tore open their outer robes to reveal their gleaming steel armor.
All the soldiers wore armor and silver helmets, which not only made them impervious to swords and spears, but also waterproof and fireproof.
The commander above was dumbfounded. So many soldiers had all been fitted with custom-made armor?
What financial resources?
Furious: "Throw it! Throw it for me!"
Fireballs streaked through the air in perfect arcs as they hurtled down, but this posed little threat to the Yue army, who were not dressed in cloth.
In just half an hour, Qi's army had run out of ammunition and food.
The Qi army commander cursed and picked up a fist-sized rock, then hurled it down the mountain.
"Fuck you."
Behind Yuejun, Leng Qingning slowly straightened up, her black armor radiating a dangerous light. She calmly looked up and gave a cold, alluring smile.
They've used up all their cards.
Well then—it's my turn!
"Soldiers, charge!"
As the shouts subsided, all the soldiers raised their swords and marched forward quickly.
The elite troops who had not yet entered the mountains followed closely behind, and those who died in battle were mostly wounded and weak soldiers.
Qi Jun's commander-in-chief stared wide-eyed. How come there were still hundreds of thousands of people behind him?
He coughed up a mouthful of blood, pointing downwards: "Treacherous...treacherous!"
"General, how are you?" the soldier asked anxiously.
The commander, suffering from a heart attack and struggling to breathe, shouted: "Quickly, descend the mountain immediately and return to provide reinforcements!"
………
Yancheng
Beneath the city gate, the Yue army stood in rows, their momentum overwhelming.
Leng Qingning leisurely accepted the water bag handed to her by Qiu Ge, tilted her head back, and gulped down several mouthfuls.
Having passed the most dangerous area, she was completely at ease, and conquering the city was a piece of cake.
A faint smile played at the corners of his lips, and a hint of disdain unintentionally flickered in his eyes.
Jin Yan looked again with focused attention, and the trace of arrogance was gone.
He wondered why Ah Ning had that expression.
So... arrogant, indifferent, and contemptuous. That disdainful expression seemed to regard him as if he were looking at an insignificant ant.
The sergeant presented the megaphone, and Leng Qingning cleared his throat.
"Lord of Yancheng, I'll give you one hour. Surrender to me and I'll spare your life. Otherwise, I'll slaughter the entire Yancheng garrison!"
His tone remained languid as he continued to threaten, "My patience is limited. If there is no reply in an hour, I will surely massacre the entire city."
The moment the words "massacre of the city" were uttered, everyone on and below the city walls was shocked.
Jin Yan, Cang Yuan, Qiu Ge, and Xie Meng all looked at her simultaneously, their faces filled with shock.
But none of them said anything.
She casually tossed the megaphone to a soldier, then jumped off her horse. Qiu Ge quickly brought her a chair.
