C1621
This battle between the Ninth Army of the Feng Country and the fifty thousand Ann Army led by the Great General Yuchi Yu could only be described as a battle of attrition. Both sides' forces were on completely different levels.
Fifty thousand Ann Army gathered into a group, arranged into a dense number of Shield Array, in order to block the charge of the cavalry, but in the end they were actually kicked over.
The impact of the Heavy Cavalry was not something that a human can withstand. After a single charge, the Ann Army's formation was broken into pieces, and the following battle was complete without any suspense. It was a one-sided slaughter.
Seeing the Heavy Cavalry charge recklessly on the battlefield as if they were abandoned, Yuchi Yu, who had already declared her determination to sacrifice her country, almost lost all desire to fight, he raised his head and let out a long sigh. This, was the battle power of Feng Army!
At this critical moment of life and death, not only did Yuchi Yu not choose to flee, she even led her guards and charged back towards the Heavy Cavalry's camp ?
It was a pity that Qi Heng did not even give him the chance to sacrifice his life for his country. The two only fought for five rounds before Yuchi Yu was dismounted from her war horse and captured alive by the Heavy Cavalry s surrounding them.
The fifty thousand Ann Army under his command weren't much better off either. Aside from more than half of the soldiers who died in battle, the other people were all captured by the Feng Army. Even from the start to the end, this battle had not taken more than two hours.
Until the end of the battle, Qi Heng still hadn't figured out why Yuchi Yu had come out to fight. Was she here to throw away her life?
In truth, he had guessed correctly, this was what Yuchi Yu was thinking. He hoped that his own death would awaken the drunken king, to rekindle the An's fighting spirit and determination to fight against the Windman. However, Qi Heng had not given him the chance to die in battle.
Following that, the morale of the Feng Army rose even higher. Directly Subordinate Army, Ninth Army, New Army, Pingyuan Army and Heavenly Eagle Army arrived outside of the city one after another. Hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed outside of the city, and the siege war was about to start.
To the east was the sea, and the west and north were both territories made up of Feng Country. And to the south was also the powerful enemy Chuan Country, so even if Chuan Country was willing to ignore all prior grudges and accept them, the Battle-tested Army in the south would not allow them to enter the Chuan Country.
It could be said that in the current Ann Country Court, every path of retreat had already been sealed off by Feng Army. But could two hundred thousand soldiers withstand the onslaught of more than five hundred thousand Feng Army? No one could be sure.
However, he did not feel any sense of regret for his own actions. Instead, he felt that the most right thing he had done in his entire life was to snatch Meier away from him.
Seeing the Feng Army outside the city begin to lay down siege machines on a large scale, all of the ministers of the Ann Country gathered in the imperial hall.
Looking at the empty throne, the ministers could not hold it in anymore. They all shouted at the Right Prime Minister Wu Sizong and the Minister of the Left Gao Zhen, "Even now, the King is still enjoying himself in the harem. My Ann Country is already on the verge of dying!"
"Wu Xiang, Gao Xiang, quickly think of a way!"
Wu Sizong and Gao Zhen looked at each other, and shook their heads, what could they do, what could they do, what could they do, even though they had already thought of everything they could think of?
Just as the ministers were chattering away, a guard suddenly shouted, "The King has arrived!"
Everyone was shocked, and their faces revealed looks of surprise. The King was actually willing to go to court today? Had the sun come out from the west?
Following the crashing sounds of the jade ornaments, the fat Yue Ze was supported by the two palace maids and slowly walked to the seating platform, slowly sitting on the throne.
When he sat down, even the ministers standing in front of him could smell the smell of alcohol. Everyone raised their heads and looked, only to see Yue Ze's face blushing unnaturally, his eyes were unfocused, and they could not see where the focus was.
Everyone looked at each other, shaking their heads. However, they still kowtowed and greeted each other in unison.
Yue Ze looked down with dazed eyes and waved his sleeves: ", please rise!"
"Great King, Feng Army has arrived before the city, I wonder if Great King has any countermeasures?" Gao Zhen stood up and asked.
Yue Ze was startled, he shook his head and said: "It was exactly because I did not know how to respond that I came here to discuss with the listed My beloved deputy." After pausing for a moment, he looked at Gao Zhen and asked: "Do you have a way to retreat from the enemy?"
Sigh! Gao Zhen sighed again, and said with a serious expression: "The King now has three things to do. First, we must execute the spirit demon girl Li Meier, in order to pacify our troops and people. Second, we must report our remorse to the Son of Heaven, review the sins that the King has committed, and beg the Son of Heaven's forgiveness. Third, we must request for a peace letter from Feng Country ?"
She couldn't accept the fact that the very first thing Gao Zhen said was the truth. What mistake did Meier have, why did she have to execute Meier? If he could not even protect the woman she loved, how could he still be considered the ruler of the country?
He said in a deep voice, "Meier is this king's beloved sister. Just based on the fact that you insulted Meier as a demon girl, this king can sentence you to death. However, seeing that you are an old official in the imperial court, this king can let you off this time, but not for the next instance!"
"Great King!"
"No need for that. This king will definitely not hold anything back because of the arrival of the Feng Army." Yue Ze said resolutely.
Gao Zhen was silent. The reason for the difficulty of the Ann Country this time was precisely because of Li Meier. However, until now, the King was still bewitched by the witch and could not see the reality of the situation.0
He did not speak, but the other ministers could not help it. The people all said, "Your Majesty, the witch has brought calamity upon the nation, and caused my Ann Country to reach such a state of danger. Your Majesty, you cannot protect her anymore!"
"If the demoness doesn't die, and my Ann Country separates the hearts of people, how can I resist strong enemies?!" "Great King, the witch must die. Only when the witch dies can our soldiers work together to fight for the king!"
All the ministers spoke out at once, but in the end, they all had the same intention to immediately execute Li Meier.
Yue Ze looked at the ministers below, their mouths opening and closing, and their faces filled with righteous indignation. He felt sad in his heart, but also powerless.
He murmured, "Just a weak girl, what did she do that would make all of you courtiers, officials, and men hate her to the bone? If you all want to kill a weak girl with such combined strength, then do you have to bear it from the bottom of your heart!? "
With that, Yue Ze stood up shakily with a face full of disappointment. He didn't speak anymore and slowly walked out of the hall.
"Great King, if the witch doesn't die, my Ann Country will definitely be destroyed!" All the officials shouted out in unison as they watched Yue Ze's leaving figure.
Yue Ze abruptly stopped his steps, turned around, raised his hand and furiously pointed at the ministers. He said with a congealed voice, "The one who can actually kill my Ann Country is not Meier, but you, you guys! "All you want is to find yourself a scapegoat, that's all ?"
With that, he slowly shook his head and walked out of the hall.
Many of the ministers present were stunned. In fact, when they thought about Yue Ze's last words, it was not unreasonable, the nation's power was so strong, yet it was in such a precarious situation. Was the reason only because of Li Meier?
Yue Ze left the great hall and returned to his and Li Meier's room. Looking at Li Meier who was sitting in front of her makeup table and slowly brushing her hair, a layer of luster finally surfaced on Yue Ze's originally ashen face. He walked forward, gently held Li Meier's shoulders and pulled her into his embrace.
"Your Majesty ?" Li Meier was first shocked, seeing that the one behind her was Yue Ze, her beautiful face revealed a smile, but then she frowned and asked curiously: "The King's complexion isn't too good, has something happened at court?"
"It's fine, it's fine." Yue Ze laughed and shook his head, he hugged Li Meier even tighter, his strength was so strong that it seemed like he was going to rub her into his body, he said faintly: "As long as I can see Meier, all of this king's troubles will be gone ? ?"
A trace of sadness flashed past Li Meier's eyes. Just then, the palace maid by Yue Ze's side spoke in a low voice: "In the imperial court just now, the ministers and officials had blamed the sin of using Feng Army on the mistress, and had even ordered for the Queen's wife to be put to death!"
"Don't talk too much!" Yue Ze turned his head and glared at the palace maid fiercely. The palace maid immediately shrunk her neck and lowered her head, spitting out her pink tongue, not daring to say another word.
Li Meier looked at Yue Ze and asked in shock: "Great King, is this true?"
Under her pitiful and enchanting gaze, Yue Ze's bones turned soft.
He rubbed her delicate cheeks and said softly, "As long as this king is here, and as long as this king is still breathing, we will definitely not allow anyone to touch this king's Meier!" While speaking, he wrapped his arms around Li Meier's waist and buried his head into her chest.
A warm water droplet was placed on Yue Ze's face, and when he raised his head, he realized that Li Meier's face was already covered in tears.
Yue Ze panicked, and while wiping away the tears on her face, he said anxiously: "What I said is true, I will definitely not let anyone hurt Meier, I can swear ?"
As he spoke, he raised his two fingers, about to take the oath. Li Meier pressed her jade-like fingers against his lips, then choked with laughter and cried at the same time, "Meier knows, Meier understands how the King treats Meier well ? ?"
She took a deep breath and calmed down for a while, then said: "King, Meier has a presumptuous request, I must agree to it."
"Regardless of what it is, This King will promise you anything!"
"Let me leave the city." Li Meier said in a serious tone: "Meier wants to go to the Wind Camp and request an audience with Feng King. Even if I cannot persuade him to leave, I want Feng King to not harm the King's life."
"How can that be?!" After Yue Ze heard this, his body started to tremble. Meier was only a weak girl, letting her go to the wind camp, wasn't that equivalent to sending sheep to the tiger's den?
He subconsciously held Li Meier tightly and shook her head. "This king will definitely not allow you to do this, this king will definitely not allow you to go to the Wind Camp!"
