Chapter 1393: Chapter 1393: A Battle to Determine Wuzhou

Outside the Southern Capital City, a massive army gathered.

A group of City Defense Camp soldiers had already been scared out of their wits. They were usually okay with dealing with common people, but when it came to real battle, facing the imposing Great Xia Regular Army in their silver armor,

they were like mice seeing a cat, each one trembling behind the parapet.

Long Fei didn’t send them to the front lines, but just used them as laborers in the rear for logistics.

All the fighting was left to the newly formed Collaborative Defense Army.

When Sima Yuan returned furiously, he headed straight into the military tent.

The leaders of the hundred-thousand-strong army were all in the military tent waiting for news.

Sima Yan was also inside and anxiously asked Sima Yuan, "Father, how’s the situation? Are they willing to help us?"

Sima Yuan sat in the main seat, panting roughly while cursing, "Don’t mention it, a bunch of fair-weather friends. This battle will have to depend on us alone."

Before going to the Governor’s Mansion, he had also paid a visit to the Central Route General.

With the rest of the army deployed to the Southern Ridge to suppress bandits, Central Route General Wuu Youren also closed the doors and refused to meet him.

The old fellow was shut out, and one can imagine the anger in his heart.

A general suggested, "Great General, these people are just fence-sitters. Why waste time on them? We have an army of a hundred thousand, enough to obliterate the Commandery Princess Mansion. Please, Great General, give the order and let this humble servant lead the vanguard. The Demon General will certainly take the heads of the Princess and the Consort Prince to avenge our young master."

"Great General, order it! They initiated the fight without authorization, which already violates national law. Even if we kill them, the Imperial Court won’t blame us."

"Great General, this is a golden opportunity. If we wait until the Princess’s forces become stronger, we won’t be able to handle them."

"..."

A group of leaders advised earnestly.

Sima Yan bawled with snot and tears, "Father, there’s no time to hesitate. We can’t let elder brother and the tens of thousands of naval soldiers die in vain!"

Sima Yuan, with a cold face, slapped the back of his chair with one hand, angrily shouting, "Intolerable bullying, what’s unbearable can no longer be tolerated!"

"Wang Kun!"

"Present!"

"I appoint you as the vanguard, leading fifty thousand troops to attack Zhengyang Gate!"

"Demon General receives the order!"

"..."

Sima Yuan issued orders, determined to fight the Commandery Princess Mansion to the end for his son’s sake and his own face, even if it cost him his life.

He ordered Wang Kun to attack the front gate, with other fifty thousand troops, keeping twenty thousand as a mobile force, and the remaining thirty thousand to attack the east, west, and north gates respectively.

At the start of the battle, war clouds surged.

Outside the city, war drums thundered, and soldiers densely packed began an organized attack on the city according to their regular drill.

Long Fei stood atop the city walls, squinting at these soldiers.

It was his first time witnessing a battle in this world, assuming that soldiers at the Foundation Establishment Realm would have superior tactics when besieging a city.

But he was mistaken; the siege tactics in this world were still the same as ancient ones outside.

People carried ladders, pushed giant battering rams, and approached the city walls grandly.

Ji Wanrong stood beside Long Fei, squinting at everything happening.

Everyone was quite calm since they had also seen the morning’s battle clearly from the teahouse.

Ji Wanrong was completely relieved, as long as Long Fei did not show any panic, she wouldn’t feel anxious either.

Long Fei, holding the Transmission Jade, calmly issued a command, "Fire the cannons!"

As soon as the words fell, in the sky behind the battlefield, missiles like shooting stars launched from the river, roaring towards the battlefield.

Bang!

With the first bomb detonated, soil and smoke were sent flying, with an area of a hundred meters being overturned by the explosive power.

The Vanguard Army of a hundred thousand troops before the four city walls was completely engulfed by the bombing.

They had just started their attack and hadn’t even taken two steps before they were thrown into a sea of flames.

Shrapnel swept all around like a wild wind.

This kind of large-caliber shell had been specially modified, equipped with a Crimson Flame Formation on the warhead.

After the explosion, the spirit stones inside would activate the formation, rising with scorching flames in all directions.

The temperature of gunpowder was originally high enough; combined with this Crimson Flame Formation, within a hundred-meter radius nothing grew anymore.

All vegetation turned into ash, all sand melted into a glassy state.

Soldiers wailed, directly perishing and melting in the flames, burning to ashes and scattering.

Bang,

Bang,

Bang!

The hundred-thousand-strong army hadn’t even shown up, with nearly eighty percent falling under the first wave of bombardment.

In the sky, brand-new fighter jets took flight.

All these fighter jets were the most advanced imports from the outside world.

After modification, not only was the defensive steel plating of the fighter jets enhanced, but the fuel was also changed to spirit stone propulsion.

These jets began to carry out precision-guided strikes on the remaining soldiers on the battlefield.

Originally, the two percent of soldiers running around, crying out for help, were shattered under the fighter jet bombardment, disappearing amidst the smoke and heat waves.

The City Defense Camp and Collaborative Defense Army on the field all stared with eyes wide open, gawking at this scene.

They hadn’t even fired a shot or swung a sword, yet the battle was nearly over?

After the thunderous roar of artillery ceased, Long Fei gave an order, "Charge!"

The city gates opened wide, and soldiers from all sides rushed out of the city like a storm, sweeping over the remaining soldiers on the battlefield.

A group of leaders from the Vanguard Army on the high ground toward the rear stood dumbstruck at this scene.

Their eardrums had almost been deafened by the explosions just now, as if witnessing an invasion of demon beasts.

Those flying in the sky and those bombing on the ground were all unheard-of monsters.

"It’s all over, completely over!"

Sima Yan plopped down to the ground, his face ash-gray, not expecting that in less than half an incense’s time, the hundred-thousand-strong army had been wiped out.

Some generals, still somewhat clear-minded, rushed towards Sima Yuan urgently saying, "Great General, the situation is lost, hurry and flee!"

"Yes, General, the enemy is about to come over; let’s go quickly!"

Some were so anxious that beads of sweat had formed.

Sima Yuan stood there dumbfounded, his golden battle armor billowing in the wind, shouting furiously, "Flee? To where? With the hundred-thousand-strong army annihilated, who would dare to protect us?"

He drew his longsword, shouting into the air, "I’ll fight to the death with that bitch of a princess!"

Sima Yan shouted anxiously, "Hurry, go and protect my father!"

The other leaders, seeing the situation was utterly hopeless, dared not to get involved.

They knew Long Fei’s reputation.

With their mere Core Formation cultivation, how could they match up?

A leader, clasping his fists, shouted, "Young master, forgive me!"

He shed his general’s uniform and fled, and seeing someone lead the way, others also took off their armor and scattered in escape.

Sima Yan cursed angrily, "Bastards, a bunch of scoundrels, I’ll come back to deal with you all sooner or later!"

He also dared not follow his father, and like the other leaders, kicked off his armor and hurriedly fled into the distance.
