Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 534: The 2nd Army Meets at Fenggu City

The two armies worked together to defeat the enemy. The South Gate was opened to welcome the reinforcements into the city. The Ninth Prince did not allow the army to enter the city, as too many people would easily cause chaos in the city. He followed General Huo and his entourage into the city to meet General Wang An.

When acquaintances meet, they exchange greetings and sit down to talk after expressing their feelings. General Wang An thanks the Ninth Prince and General Huo for their assistance and for helping to resolve the crisis in Fenggu City.

The Ninth Prince asked General Wang An about the firecrackers and heard that it was contributed by Su He. He sent someone to invite Su He to come and question him, saying that he needed to find out urgently so that he could escort them to other border towns.

The crisis in this place was temporarily resolved, and other border towns were still under heavy attack. How could I not share this good thing quickly?

Su He was found and followed to the central military tent to meet the Ninth Prince. Su He was dressed as a man, and when she first came in, the Ninth Prince was stunned and recognized her.

He smiled and asked Su He: "Miss Su He, I heard that you were the one who came up with the powerful firecrackers. May I ask how you did it? We need to send them to other border towns to resolve the crisis there."

Su He bowed and said, "I asked a workshop to make these firecrackers. I'll give you a few. You'll understand once you show them to the craftsman. I'll also write down some precautions for you. You can find someone locally to make them and it will be done quickly."

The Ninth Prince was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked the guards to go to the city to fetch a few. Su He just wrote down the prescription here. After both sides were ready, he sent someone to the nearest official in the prefecture as fast as possible, and asked someone to rush to deliver it to the border town.

Now Ansheng Country must resolve all crises, otherwise if any one of them is captured, it will be an immeasurable disaster. Now if one loses, all will lose, and we cannot ignore the overall situation for personal gain.

The Ninth Prince has agreed with General Wang An that General Huo will lead the remaining reinforcements to attack the Dongjie army through the north gate tomorrow. The war cannot be delayed. The sooner the war ends, the better for Ansheng. If the Dongjie army is defeated, the enemies in other places will also be frightened and retreat.

The Ninth Prince stayed in the city directly, which was what General Huo had repeatedly emphasized. They didn't know how tired he was in order to protect the Ninth Prince, and the emperor's order was as heavy as Mount Tai.

As a military commander, he could pick up his sword and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy immediately, but he was unwilling to shrink back and watch. There was no other way. The Ninth Prince was accompanying him, and his safety must be guaranteed. Otherwise, even if he won the battle, the prince would be killed, and the emperor would always remember this, and it would be difficult for him to have a good life in the future.

Finally, they entered Fenggu City and quickly handed over to General Wang An, asking him to go to the battle to his heart's content! His blood was almost worn out in the capital, but who knew that when he came to the border city and saw those foreign enemies, a raging fire burned in his chest, which rekindled his fighting spirit.

When the bloody scenes appeared before my eyes, all the fear and fear were thrown behind my mind. It was either you or me. The oath I made when I learned martial arts emerged again, to defend my country and fight on the battlefield.

Together they worked out strategies and how to deal with problems, vowing to defeat the remaining Dongjie Army. They all knew that tomorrow would be a fierce battle, even harder than at the South Gate, with more casualties.

The Dongjie army had a lot of people this time, so they dared to split up and besiege them. They climbed up the north gate together, and saw the sparks outside the city in the night, spreading for several miles, which showed how many Dongjie soldiers had come.

General Huo and the Ninth Prince only knew that the Dongjie army had come in large numbers this time, but they didn't expect so many people. This was the largest attack in the history of the Dongjie Kingdom, and the number of people was so large that they couldn't imagine it.

General Wang An told them the information he had collected. After several months, Dongjie State conquered all the surrounding small countries and tribes, which enabled their army to expand rapidly.

The Dongjie Army also accumulated a lot of wealth and food because of their looting. Everyone knows that the fastest way to accumulate wealth is not through hard work, but through invasion and possession. They were fully prepared for this battle.

This time, they didn't care about morality or alliances at all, and started their war of aggression without any bottom line. Ansheng Country was their final target, and they had long coveted the wealth and food here.

The Ansheng Kingdom must give them a hard blow this time, and it would be best if they could wipe out the enemy completely. Without the army, it would be like hitting them in the weakest part, and they would either die or become paralyzed. The Dongjie Kingdom is such a shameless bunch, and we cannot give them any chance, otherwise they will stretch out their claws as soon as they get a chance.

General Wang An was on the city wall preparing to use special firecrackers to cooperate with them tomorrow, and also preparing some powder to be packed together and exploded directly at the enemy. If not killed or injured, some of their soldiers would be poisoned to death.

When they are in chaos, General Huo will start their siege. Don't fight hard, but use your wits. If they were not afraid of causing heavy casualties to Wang's army, why would they just defend and not attack?
