The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 484 The Bad News Comes

Huan Yuan and others also quite agreed.

They didn't need to be eager to fight. They took advantage of the terrain to ambush and leave, catching King Chenliu off guard and disrupting his military morale immediately.

After everyone discussed the place for the ambush.

Jing Li then told Geng Qi: "You can take this matter personally. Don't be reluctant to fight. Just make sure you hit the target with one blow!"

Geng Qi came from the Blood Wolf Guard and followed Tantai Lin in the north and south. He has rich battlefield experience and has extensive knowledge of firearms camps.

He led the team there, and Jing Li felt more at ease.

Geng Qi said solemnly: "I will live up to your high expectations!"

After arranging these, Zhang Xiong and others also discussed the results.

But he had a condition: his family would stay in Lao Beishan and not in Chang'an City.

Jing Li was puzzled: "Chang'an City is prosperous and bustling, why do you have to leave your family in the countryside?"

Zhang Xiong smiled calmly and said: "I can trust the princess, but I can't trust the royal family members of the Tantai family."

"My Majesty has so many things to do every day, it is inevitable that there will be times when she is negligent. If someone takes advantage of her and takes the opportunity to stir up trouble with my family, not to mention whether I am sad or not, even my Majesty will find it difficult to deal with it,"

He had heard a lot about the people in Jingjia Village, and knew that that village was full of people who valued affection and righteousness. Even during the plague last year, they took in the hungry people and allowed them to live and work in peace and contentment.

Such a family would definitely not be able to do such a beastly thing. Leaving his wife, children, and children in Jingjia Village, although the life might be harder, it would give him no peace of mind.

When Jing Li heard what he said, she immediately smiled and said, "Based on General Zhang's love for his family, I am confident in our cooperation this time."

"If you don't mind the hardship of life in the village, then let him go!"

The corner of Zhang Xiong's mouth twitched, who was it that had no confidence? Others, money, and food were all given to the woman in front of him.

Jing Li actually said something to him, which was considered a sign of confidence.

I’m not confident that that person is clearly Zhang Xiong, okay?
The two sides agreed on the date for borrowing the road, as well as the conditions for each party and the share of the war profits.

Zhang Xiong then left with his men overnight. Chen Liu's army was approaching, and he had to set off for Longxi before Chen Liu's army arrived.

Huan Yuan sighed to Jin Li: "If this person can be used for his own purposes, he can be regarded as a general!"

Jing Li was noncommittal: "This man has great ambitions and is not easy to control. I would rather he disrupt the Longxi area in advance and lay the foundation for our future progress!"

On the way, King Chenliu heard that 5 people died overnight and fled. General Dou Wenshao also took the opportunity to escape, and he was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"This woman is too cruel, I cannot keep her!" King Chen Liu's blood surged, and his chest felt tight, and it took a long time for him to calm down.

"Send the order and speed up. I am going to kill Chang'an and skin the woman and cramp her muscles to vent the hatred in my heart!"

King Chenliu gave the order to advance.

He had no doubt at all that Tantai Lin was ambushed and seriously injured.

After all, Tantai Yulie had discussed this matter with him before.

He would send Dou Wenshao over to threaten Chang'an to see if Tantai Lin would rush back to rescue. If he turned around and returned to Chang'an to rescue, he would join forces with Tantai Yulie and the Jie people to attack from both sides.

Unexpectedly, facing the situation in Chang'an, Tantai Lin still wanted to kill all the Jie people.

They had no choice but to activate the second plan and let King Hejian attack Tantai Lin from behind.

The sneak attack was successful, but Chen Liu's army lost a total of 5 people, which he couldn't swallow.

What annoyed him was yet to come.

On the way to Shouyang Mountain, they suddenly encountered a guerrilla force.

Before anyone could see it, they saw the legendary thunder and fire.

Walking in the mountains is not easy. The roaring sound sounded, and there was a sudden confusion among people and horses.The soldiers were not hacked to death by the opponent, but were pushed down the mountain stream and valley by their own people, or were trampled to death by horses.

"Don't mess up, maintain the formation, don't mess up!" The accompanying general yelled at the top of his lungs, but it couldn't stop the soldiers and horses from panicking.

In this era of cold weapons, the emergence of firearms is no less than a dimensionality reduction strike. These soldiers had heard about the reaction of the grassland people earlier, and they were quite shocked at the time.

But hearing is just hearsay after all, nothing can be more shocking than seeing it with your own eyes.

Some people were so frightened that they were stunned on the spot, not knowing how to react, and were pushed off the cliff by their panicked companions.

Some people's ears were shaken to the point of deafness, and they were as confused as a headless fly, not knowing what to do.

After the attack, King Chenliu ordered his men to take stock.

In just a short time, no one from the other side was even seen, which resulted in the loss of more than 3000 people.

King Chen Liu was so angry that his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he imagined eight hundred times in his mind how he would go on a killing spree after entering Chang'an.

However, what made him furious was that along the way, he encountered various ambushes and encounters. By the time he arrived at the pass, the army had already been reduced by more than half.

When the troops arrived at the city, the original battlefield had been cleaned, and the smell of burning corpses still seemed to linger in the camp.

King Chenliu squinted at the pass gate tower with a ruthless look in his eyes. He came with hundreds of thousands of troops and did not believe that the pass could not be breached.

As long as Tantai Lin can't come back for one day, he will have an extra chance of winning.

On the city wall at the pass, Jing Li used a telescope to watch the deployment of Chen Liu's army.

Bai Changhe followed him and said, "There are about 30 to [-] people who have arrived at the pass. It is said that there are [-] troops behind them. Including the civilians transporting grain and grass, there are probably [-] troops!"

Jing Li said confidently: "It doesn't matter, even if he has an army of 50, this is the best pass in the world, and his reputation is not in vain."

"Just arrange for the people in the city to work according to their schedule!"

Jing Li looked up at the sunset on the horizon: "Sooner or later, this war will come to an end!"

Even if Tantai Lin doesn't come back, the bloated Chen Liujun will be unsustainable when winter comes.

At the end of August, autumn tigers wreak havoc across the land.

The battle finally started.

"Quickly, pour down the boiled water!" Dalang commanded from the tower.

The scalding boiling water poured down along the city wall, instantly catching the soldiers below who were holding the wood and slamming into the door. It was so hot that they screamed heart-breakingly.

At this time of year, the weather was hot and the passes were unavoidable. The soldiers were dressed in extremely light clothes, and some even went into battle bare-chested.

As soon as the boiling water is poured down, it will be so hot that you will get blisters all over your body.

The warlord shouted from behind: "Continue to attack the city. After this wave, he won't be able to boil water that fast!"

To his disappointment, as soon as he finished speaking, the boiling water offensive began again.

The officers and soldiers on the tower were cheerful, "Don't worry about this. We are using coal to boil water, so we don't have to worry about not having enough firewood."

The war continued until the end of September, and Chen Liu's army still made no progress.

King Chenliu was furious: "Cut down the vanguard of the siege. A mere woman has been defending the city for a month, but there is no progress at all!"

The deputy general wanted to persuade him that now is the time to employ people and not to act so recklessly.

But he knew that when the prince was furious, no sound could be heard.

In early October, earth-shattering news spread throughout the two camps.

Changling King Tantai Lin is dead!
