Chapter 1160: Surrounding Wei and Rescuing Zhao [3]
Xiang knew that the woman named Honglian had completely angered Huang Beiyue this time.
This little lion is finally getting angry.
Xirong Kingdom, Qiyang City
The armies of the two countries suddenly formed an alliance, and they were all elite divisions. They jointly attacked the cities in the east and southwest of the Xirong Kingdom from two groups. They were unstoppable along the way and captured countless cities.
The Xirong Kingdom is rich, but due to factors such as the natural climate, its military defense has never been strong. The elites are all protecting the royal capital in Qiyang City. Most of the remaining troops are mercenaries, hired from small countries at high prices.
The real people of Xirong Kingdom are geographically advantageous and very wealthy, and they do not want their children to join the army. The elite troops in Qiyang City are the strongest army in the entire Xirong Kingdom, and the military power is in the hands of the Beitang family.
Mercenaries are bribed and lured. Faced with the pressure of a large army, how can those mercenaries from small countries resist desperately without knowing what they are doing?
Occasionally, a few cities are stubborn, but if they encounter military wizards like Wei Wuchen and Zhan Ye, they will be captured even if they are impregnable!
The army advanced all the way and finally met thirty miles outside Qiyang City. The generals of the two countries met and discussed together. Qiyang City was constantly raining and full of swamps, which was very disadvantageous for soldiers who grew up in a dry environment, especially Dongli Kingdom.
Although they conquered countless cities and robbed countless wealth and treasures along the way, many soldiers fell ill and died due to acclimatization. Even if there were alchemists who refined the elixir, adapting to the climate was still a big problem.
Therefore, Wei Wuchen did not agree with Prince Zhanye's strategy of besieging the city and making Xirong abandon its weapons and surrender without spending a single soldier. Instead, he wanted to capture it by force and win a quick victory.
Nanyi Country is in the south, it is also a warm and humid city, and its acclimatization is not as serious as Dongli Country.
The two countries had their own plans and disputes, and had besieged Qiyang City for two days and two nights.
The vast army of soldiers and horses outside the city, as far as the eye can see, are full of heads of people and horses, with banners flying for ten miles, it is like an endless ocean!
The soldiers standing guard on Qiyang City were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they did not dare to stick their heads out.
"Master Imperial Master, the person in the big tent to the east is Wei Wuchen. He arrived yesterday. According to reports from spies, he and Huang Zhanye seem to have a disagreement. They are now in a stalemate, which is just delaying time."
On the city tower, the disciples of the Holy Blood Palace walked over with the new national preceptor Chiyo Touji, and a general pointed at the army outside the city and said to her.
Chiyo Touji looked at the outside of the city with a cold face, facing south. All the flags flying in the wind were the flags of the South Wing Country. She never thought that one day she would face the thousands of troops of her motherland.
"Continue to send spies out to investigate." Chiyo Touji ordered in a deep voice, turned around and walked down the tower.
"Dong'er!" Under the city tower, I met Beitang You who was leading troops on patrol. He looked tired, but the golden armor on his body gave him a somewhat majestic look.
Chiyo Tou'er strode towards him and walked side by side with him, "Yu, Prince Zhanye is a wise and intelligent man, and Wei Wuchen is also an old fox. No matter how we fight this battle, it will not be good for us."
Beitang You nodded, his eyes that had not slept today were also bloodshot, "I never thought that these two countries would suddenly form an alliance. Your Majesty agreed to the alliance with the Southern Wing Country. If I hadn't blocked it, there might not have been today.
There is a situation where troops are approaching the city."
