She Is Not a Witch Chapter 72: The Charming Witch
Hedaizhou, Ziye City.
The mighty river flows eastward, dividing the land in two, and Ziye City is located on the south bank of the river.
After the Beifu army repelled King Huainan's subordinates, their itinerary and progress were stuck at the edge of the river. Although some dragon riders could easily cross the river for investigation, it was still difficult for hundreds of thousands of troops without wings. This is a natural danger.
When the number of people is too large, many tactics are difficult to use. Facing the large river several kilometers wide, it becomes extremely difficult for the large army of the Northern Army to manage at a low level. However, only a small number of thousands of elites are sent to the south bank, and the number of people varies greatly. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to shake the city where the legion is stationed.
So the two sides have come to a stalemate here, but this is ultimately more beneficial to King Huainan, because he has the support of aristocratic families behind him, and has a nearly continuous flow of troops and supplies, which can be transported from the Yellow Sea. On the Beifu Army's side, after being transferred from Beifu Mountain City, the army's survival has entered a countdown.
At the beginning of August, because of the prolonged stalemate, when the sergeants under King Huainan thought that the Beifu Army was in a desperate situation and was about to collapse, the offensive finally started.
The temporarily built boats went south from the upper reaches, and under the pull of the current, they formed a rough oblique line and rushed to the southern river bank.
Facing these low and rough boats, King Huainan's fleet stationed at the river port of Ziye City moved immediately.
These fleet ships that were originally cruising in the Yellow Sea were loaded with advanced firearms from the Dynasty. After opening the side hatches, a series of pitch-black cannons roared continuously, and fiery red shells shot out, falling on these southbound people. On the low wooden boat, high water splashes were hit.
The flames scattered and the boards flew across. Some Beifu Army soldiers on board were directly blasted into the river and sank in the turbulent turbulence. The battlefield was almost one-sided and tragic.
But this is also helpless. The Beifu army lacks ships and warships for water warfare, so they can only pile up the way forward with human lives.
When a large number of wooden boats sank in the water, a small number of wooden boats also passed through the blockade and approached the southern river bank, and they faced the soldiers of King Huainan who were waiting in full battle.
Arrows shot out from the longbow covered the sky and covered the ground like rain. The few Beifu soldiers who landed had to hold up silver and iron shields and march forward with difficulty. Some people were shot and fell down from time to time. Down.
Seeing that this small number of soldiers will also fall under the rain of arrows, the sound of Long Roar's support finally came from the sky.
The flames spewed down, sweeping across the rain of arrows that filled the sky, blowing most of them away and becoming thinner, and the arrows with flaming lights fell from the sky in disorder, obliquely inserted into the soft river bank in the dirt.
Afterwards, another group of dragonriders from the Beifu army took off from the north bank and flew towards the south bank, grabbing the thick iron cables.
"No, they want to tie the Hengjiang River!" The guards in Ziye City saw what the Beifu army was thinking, and immediately let all their air forces take off.
The air cavalry driving the giant dragon and black eagle immediately flew up, and what they faced was the frenzied attack of the dragon cavalry of the Beifu Army.
The dragon riders who escorted the iron chain across the river were brave and fearless. Such a fierce attack caught these empty riders under King Huainan's command by surprise. The two sides exchanged casualties at an extremely fast speed. After one teammate was pierced and torn apart by the icy cold iron dragon spear of the Beifu army's dragonriders, the rest of the airriders also felt chills in their hearts.
For them, this is just an ordinary mission, not to the point of risking their lives, but it is not for these dragonriders in the north. Just as the defenders thought, the rest of them There are not many opportunities, and for this south crossing, tens of thousands of comrades have died on the river at this moment. If they fail, these sacrifices will become meaningless, and the Beifu army will collapse soon. So before taking off, the general gave these dragon rides a death order, they must succeed, there is no way out.
Under the blessing of Fenghuo Dayi and General Zhuo Muye's personal prestige, the Beifu army burst out with the strongest fighting spirit and put all their hopes on crossing the river this time.
In the sky, the iron rope held by the giant dragon was lowered, and then thick steel long cones were inserted into the river and the two banks, and connected to the iron rope, and the passage connecting the two banks was slowly formed.
Seeing that the ships of the Beifu Army passed quickly along the iron cables and kept tying them together to form a pontoon bridge on the river. It's far from over.
After several rounds of shooting, although a large number of wooden boats on the river surface were broken, the artillery of the Beifu Army was also ready, and began to aim at the artillery positions on the south bank to counterattack. The range decreased, so the Beifu army continued to send wooden boats to lay the pontoon bridge along the iron cables.
On the other side, the fleet that fought against a large number of small boats across the river also wiped out most of their opponents. Now they are finally free to attack the iron chains and wooden boats on the river. The effect was minimal, and I could only watch helplessly as the iron chains and wooden boats crossing the river were blown up again and again, and countless soldiers struggled to sink into the water.
The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly. When the air cavalry of the defenders in the sky were repelled by the dragon cavalry of the Beifu army, several families who supported King Huainan also sent their disciples to support them. .
In the barracks, Zhuo Muye stood on a high wooden platform looking at the battlefield on the river, his brows were furrowed. Although he is a famous general, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. It is a fact that the Beifu army is lacking in strength. .
The strategy of dividing the troops cannot be said to be bad. This made the new monarch fall without a chance to breathe, but it also caused the lack of troops on this side and was trapped on the north bank for a long time.
"It's not here yet." He, who has always been known for his calmness, is also a little anxious at this moment. In these most critical minutes.
"I can't wait any longer." Looking at the iron chains on the river surface that were gradually breaking, he raised his hand, ready to wave it down, and let the last and largest group of legions come forward. Originally, this group needed to cooperate with the cover.
The battlefield on the river is like a raging fire, with scattered broken boards, floating corpses, swimming figures, burning flames and black smoke everywhere. The defenders on the south bank gradually breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this time they can defeat the Beifu army. At the moment when he was in full swing, the sound of a big earthquake came from the northwest direction.
"Enemy Attack!"
The long horn blew urgently, and the sound of whimpering spread across the sky, attracting the attention of both sides of the battlefield.
On the upper reaches of the south bank, teams of cavalry galloped down from the upstream direction. Through the dust and smoke, the flag of the cavalry going north gradually became clear to everyone. that one.
After destroying the new king, they repaired in Luojing for a few days, then left the bustling and dilapidated capital, and went down the river, galloping all the way, so that the Huainan king defenders on the south bank were caught off guard.
"How could it be so sudden." The guards in Ziye City couldn't figure out why they hadn't received any notification after traveling for so long. Could it be that there were no guards along the way?
In fact, it did exist, but this time the Beifu army divided the cavalry into several groups, attacking and galloping in turn, and sending some cavalry to contain the opponent at each place, and then continued to go south without stopping, so as to grab the opponent before they knew it.
Soldiers are expensive and fast, but there is a price. The exhaustion of the long journey has reduced the combat effectiveness of the elite cavalry of the Beifu army. Without the cooperation of friendly troops, their tens of thousands of cavalry would be overwhelmed by the defenders immediately. No matter how much energy is left, escape.
The timing on the battlefield is like this. When this cavalry appeared, Zhuo Muye also decisively ordered to let the last batch of attacking legions come forward. This is also the largest and most elite group of soldiers. The pontoon bridge on the iron chain moved forward rapidly under the artillery fire, and at the same time, all the remaining wooden boats on the river bank also set off to cover the soldiers crossing the river.
The Yellow Sea Fleet on the river kept shooting, and the pontoon bridge was blown up from time to time, and then it was filled by wooden boats behind. As time passed, the small boats of the Beifu Army also surrounded them. Climbing towards the tall ship in front of you, the two sides began to confront each other on the deck.
Under the interference of melee combat, the artillery fire fired by these warships finally became smaller, and they began to adjust their speed, get rid of the small boats behind them, and return to the south bank.
On the south bank, the defenders urgently adjusted the direction of the enemy to block the charging cavalry. Died in the dense forest of firecrackers and guns.
During the time gained, a large number of soldiers of the Beifu Army finally passed the river bank and began to fight the defenders on the bank. brave.
The battle between the two sides continued from early morning to near dusk. Finally, amidst the sound of collapse, the gate of Ziye City was broken open, and the Beifu army in silver armor and white clothes swarmed in. King Huainan's army in black armor was drowned.
Ziye City changed hands, and the Beifu army finally crossed this natural barrier and began to border many states of King Huainan.
———
When King Huainan was in a state of desperation for the Beifu Army and Youxin State, an unexpected visitor came to the remote Heishuizhou.
"This is the residence of the Red Immortal Sect. It looks familiar."
A woman dressed in black gauze was walking on the path in the field. She looked around, her figure was graceful, and her attractive figure was revealed in the hazy gauze, which made some farmers on the side of the road stunned. Can't take my eyes off it.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Come up, body shape fainted by the side of the road.
"It's quiet now." She smiled lightly and jumped forward, but her bare feet were always a little away from the ground, otherwise there would be dust and mud.
This beautiful and charming woman made no secrets along the way, causing many passers-by to fall into a coma.
"Who is your Excellency?" The two true disciples stationed at the main entrance asked the other disciples to step back to avoid them, and then the two stepped forward carefully, perhaps because they were both women. Although they were full of surprise, they still barely maintained A little sober, let the fellow disciples quickly notify the elders of the faction.
"Me, let me think about it, which name should I use now, by the way, let's call it 'Yi Miaoxin'." She tilted her head in thought, just the way her fingers lightly wrapped around her hair made people's heart flutter endlessly.
Seeing that the two true disciples couldn't resist at all, there was a gust of wind in the Red Immortal Sect, and the metal copper plates hanging under the eaves collided with each other, piercing far in the mountain.
Soon, many disciples of the Red Immortal Sect came, and when there were more and more people, several masked elders wearing hoods appeared. Meet this woman.
Among these elders, there are many seven-level and eight-level existences, which are the hidden and accumulated power of the Red Immortal Sect, but now they are very nervous as if they are facing a big enemy.
"Excuse me, Senior Yi Miaoxin, did you come here today to ask for something?" Although the Red Immortal Sect is located in a remote place, it has once been brilliant at any rate, and has a deep understanding of the forces in this world. It's not an ordinary transcendent, but most likely the legendary "goddess" or "witch". It's not ordinary for such a person to come to the Red Immortal Sect.
"As for me, I'm here to find someone." She raised her finger and shook it lightly, with a magnificent purple brilliance flowing in her eyes, which was magical and amazing.
"However, it seems that there is no need to specifically name this meeting, because she has already come." As she spoke, her eyes turned to behind several elders, and a woman in a dark red long dress appeared slowly.
"My lord saint." The sect disciple who was spying in the distance whispered when he saw the figure.
"Which Saintess?" Someone next to him urgently asked, there are three saints in the Red Immortal Sect, and they are all the successors and candidates of the leader.
"It's Master Xie Zhuyan." Finally someone recognized the woman walking towards Yi Miaoxin.
Compared to more than ten years ago, the appearance of Xie Zhuyan has not changed much, but the rough skin has become a little smoother, which may be the benefit of being promoted.
"It's you who came." Xie Zhuyan looked at this charming and alluring woman, her voice was steady, but seeing the slight seal of her hands under her sleeves, she knew that she had made all kinds of preparations.
"I came to see you, Sister Spider Yan~" Yi Miaoxin greeted happily.
"Is there something wrong?" Xie Zhuyan breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to look at the mysterious witch.
"Hey, can't I come to you if I have nothing to do, Sister Spider Yan is so heartless." She pretended to be sobbing, even though she knew it might be a fake, but it still made others feel swayed, and she couldn't help but want to comfort her.
For this, Xie Zhuyan was helpless, so she had to ask the elders around her to help prepare an empty hall to entertain the visiting witch.
As the two walked into a large hall on the mountainside, the disciples who were watching gradually dispersed under the expulsion. In the empty hall, the two sat facing each other. tea.
"Is it okay now, Sister Yi Miaoxin?" Xie Zhuyan knew that this was a witch in front of her, and she must be no younger than herself.
"Woo, Sister Spider Yan is really unfamiliar. We had a very happy chat at the end-burning banquet."
…
"Sister Spider Yan, have you thought about accomplishing some great things?"
"No." Xie Zhuyan shook his head.
"Really not?" Yi Miaoxin blinked her eyes.
"Actually, I know your life experience."
"Oh."
If it was more than ten years ago, Xie Zhuyan would definitely be excited and nervous, and maybe a little bit of hatred, but now it is different. She sees and wants to understand many things, and she is no longer as impulsive as before. up.
"ε=(ο｀*))) Alas~IndoMTL.com~There is no response at all." Yi Miaoxin suddenly became distressed, feeling as if she had played all her cards and the other party had no response.
"Doesn't Sister Spider Yan want to avenge her family?"
"Revenge? In fact, it has already been reported." Xie Zhuyan shook her head. Most of the people who participated in her father's unjust case back then were dead, and she didn't want to implicate some irrelevant people.
"No, it's not over yet, for example, your father's long-cherished wish, don't you want to realize it?"
"So what if it's realized, it's just reincarnation." Xie Zhuyan doesn't understand too much of the great principles in the book, but she understands that the life of the people at the bottom is like this. Variety.
"No, no, it can still be changed, for example..." Yi Miaoxin approached Xie Zhuyan's cheek and whispered in her ear.
"For example, I will assist you with all my strength to make you a new generation of Xuan Feng Dian." She lightly pinched Jie Zhuyan's shoulders with both hands, and the information in her voice was so huge and impactful.
