Chapter 495: Has It Been Conquered so Soon?
Ning Chen and his friends came out of the restaurant. It was already late.
On the way back to the military camp, Feng Qi was in a bad mood.
Ning Chen looked at him and joked, "Why, are you still thinking about Yue Congyun?"
Feng Qi shook his head, "No!"
Ning Chen laughed, "If you like her, go after her boldly. If Yue Congyun also likes you... I will personally host your wedding."
Feng Qi was shocked.
After a while, he shook his head and said, "Forget it. If you like her, I can't compete with my brothers for a woman."
Ning Chen kicked him directly.
"I said I like her, but I like her skills... I don't want her to be my woman."
Feng Qi opened his mouth, "Really?"
Ning Chen was speechless, "Nonsense."
Feng Qi was ecstatic, "Ning Chen, I really love you to death!"
"Go away, you should go and love Miss Yue."
Feng Qi smiled.
"Look at your behavior, you act as if Miss Xiaoyue has already agreed to you?"
Feng Qizheng raised his head, "It's only a matter of time! I'm so handsome, there's no reason for her to dislike me."
Everyone was shocked, where did this confidence come from?
Back to the military camp.
Ning Chen suddenly ordered, "Fourth Prince, mobilize 50,000 troops, prepare food and grass, and follow me out of the pass in two hours."
The fourth prince was shocked, "Now?"
Ning Chen nodded, "This is a military order!"
The fourth prince frowned, thinking that Ning Chen was really acting on impulse.
But Ning Chen is now the highest general, delaying military affairs is a serious crime...even if he is a prince, he can't afford it.
"Okay, I'll go now!"
"Old Pan, go and notify Yuan Long to let the Ning'an Army get ready."
"Yes!"
Originally, when Ning Chen arrived at Xiguan City, he wanted to lead the army straight to Xiliang.
But thinking of the rapid march, the people and horses were exhausted, and thinking of letting the Ning'an Army rest...so he followed the fourth prince to drink.
.......
Two hours later, the army assembled.
With Ning Chen's order, the army set out and headed straight for Xiliang Linxuan City.
Linxuan City is the first line of defense in Xiliang.
Not far from Daxuan Xiguan City.
With a quick march, it can be reached in two days.
Two days later, Ning Chen led the army to Linxuan City and ordered a rest ten miles away.
The fourth prince was puzzled.
He thought Ning Chen was marching all the way to attack by surprise, but he didn't expect to rest in front of someone's door so openly.
"Ning Chen, Linxuan City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. How do you plan to fight?"
The fourth prince asked curiously.
Ning Chen said indifferently: "Head-on attack."
The fourth prince was stunned.
"Ning Chen, Linxuan City is not a place to fight. The one guarding Linxuan City is the famous Xiliang general, Che Mingzhe."
"Moreover, the Xiliang army is stationed in Linxuan City, including 20,000 heavily armored cavalry... Our soldiers have suffered a lot at their hands."
"If we attack head-on, it will be difficult to take Linxuan City!"
Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, "We have to fight even if it is difficult!"
He can wait, but Emperor Xuan's illness cannot wait.
The fourth prince is a fool, and he doesn't know that he is so eager to attack Linxuan City for his father.
After resting for two hours.
Ning Chen led the army and approached the city.
On Linxuan City, the Xiliang soldiers were on the verge of a fight.
They had already discovered the Daxuan army.
However, they showed disdain.
Because they have fought with Daxuan many times, winning more than losing.
Daxuan dared to approach the city, it was simply seeking death.
On the top of the city wall, a burly, bearded, middle-aged man in golden armor stared at the vast army of Daxuan with his eyes wide open.
He was not as relaxed as the soldiers of Xiliang.
Because he had received news that the commander of Daxuan this time was the Great Xuan God of War Ning Chen.
He had known Ning Chen for a long time.
It was said that a few months ago, Ning Chen broke through three cities in Nanyue.
If the fourth prince was leading the army this time, he would not care at all and would have led his army out of the city to fight.
But facing Ning Chen, he was very afraid and decided to defend the city.
He didn't know Ning Chen's methods, so he defended first and observed.
Che Mingzhe asked the shouting soldier to shout.
"Is the Great Xuan God of War Ning Chen on the other side?"
On the top of the city wall, the shouting soldiers shouted in unison.
Ning Chen heard the shouting and ignored it, muttering that the wind direction was just right.
Immediately, he turned around and gave the order, saying: "Ning'an Army, listen to the order, attack the city immediately."
The messenger immediately passed on Ning Chen's order.
The Ning'an Army immediately took action.
Huge hot air balloons took off.
The artillery was pushed to the front line.
The other Ning'an Army was ready to go, ready to charge.
The fourth prince stared at the rising hot air balloons in amazement.
"This, this...flying up?"
The Xiliang soldiers were also stunned!
What is this?
Che Mingzhe realized that something was wrong and immediately ordered: "Shoot!"
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh! ! !
Dense arrows shot at the hot air balloons in the air.
The bamboo basket under the hot air balloon was immediately filled with arrows.
But it didn't have much impact, as long as they didn't hit the hot air balloons.
All the hot air balloons were connected to a long rope, pulled by more than ten soldiers.
This is to control the height and distance of the hot air balloons.
The hot air balloons floated over the city wall.
The soldier standing in the frame immediately lit the explosive pack and threw it down.
Boom boom boom!!!
The thunderous explosion was deafening.
The flames spread and the smoke filled the air.
The Xiliang soldiers on the city wall were stunned.
When they were in the southern border, Wu Tiezhu led his men to capture the Nanyue Jianxuan Pass using this trick, and the soldiers all had experience with it.
Their explosive packets were thrown very accurately.
The terrifying explosion caused the entire city to shake violently.
Broken limbs and broken arms flew across the sky.
Screams echoed through the sky.
On top of the city, Xiliang soldiers scurried around in confusion.
The Xiliang soldiers were frightened and went crazy.
They had never seen such a terrifying thing. It exploded with a bang, and then people were shattered into pieces.
At this moment, an even more terrifying sound sounded.
Boom boom boom! ! !
Dozens of artillery pieces fired at the city gate.
This terrifying sound, not to mention the Xiliang soldiers, even the soldiers of the Fourth Prince turned pale with fright.
The soldiers on the hot air balloon, after throwing the explosive packets, began to throw grenades and attack indiscriminately.
"Hold still, don't mess up, don't mess up...Don't retreat, anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
Che Mingzhe roared crazily.
But the Xiliang soldiers were so frightened that they rushed down the city with their heads in their hands.
Che Mingzhe drew his sword and was about to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, when an explosive package landed not far from him.
Che Mingzhe's face changed drastically, he was so frightened that he turned around and ran away.
boom! ! !
The terrifying air wave directly flew him away.
Che Mingzhe was not killed, but fainted directly.
"General Che is dead, General Che is dead..."
"Run away quickly, General Che is dead..."
When the Xiliang soldiers saw Che Mingzhe motionless, they thought he was dead and became even more frightened!
The city gate was riddled with holes from cannonballs.
The artillery stopped.
On top of the car.
As the wood hit again and again, the city gate was knocked open.
"Ning'an Army, follow me and charge!"
Yuan Long yelled.
The Ning'an army rushed towards Linxuan City like a torrent.
The fourth prince looked dull, like a goose, looking at Ning Chen stupidly... This, this is a breakthrough?
