The Charm of a Powerful Woman Spreads Across the World - Chapter 146
The people on the watchtower remained expressionless as they continued to watch.
The archers silently ran out, giving the front positions to soldiers from another battalion.
"Go!" someone commanded.
Twenty engineering vehicles quickly advanced forward, ten catapults lined up in front of the city wall, and battering rams roared from the center toward the Luoyan City gate tower.
The catapults had begun firing, and boulders roared over the head of the Spring Vine Kingdom, all the stones raining down on the black stone walls! The walls of Falling Goose City trembled under this fierce attack that shook heaven and earth. The first fortified city on the southwestern border of the Purple Luo Kingdom had finally reached the point of being on the verge of collapse.
But even under such a fierce onslaught of torrential rain and thunder, the city walls of Luoyan City remained completely silent except for the incessant sound of stones being pelted down!
"Something is very wrong, everyone. Is now the best time to launch an attack?" Amidst the whistling impact, Yun Tianze's voice was deep and powerful, his face solemn.
Uncle Yun's expression was also not good. She calmly said, "Your Highness, the strength of the local forces is unknown. It would be best not to act rashly for the time being."
"Yes, Your Highness, this situation is very strange; there must be something wrong," someone advised.
"How do those secret agents operate?" someone else asked.
"People in the city can't get out now; it's heavily guarded, making it difficult to pass on information," someone argued.
Yun Tianze concealed the rare sharpness in his eyes and calmly spoke, "Stop arguing! There's probably no one on the city wall right now."
After a moment of deep thought, someone said, "Since they dared to take such a dangerous action, they must have taken precautions. Your Highness must be careful."
"The more than 30,000 infantrymen currently below the city are poised to take advantage of the momentum of our slingshots and charge forward. Otherwise, once our lord's first round of long-range attacks ends and they appear on the city walls, things won't be so easy," Uncle Yun said slowly.
A trace of pain flashed across Yun Tianze's dark eyes, and he said no more: "Then, we will do as Uncle Yun says."
"Kill!" Upon receiving the attack order from the city tower, 30,000 heavy infantrymen formed six square formations and lined up in a row, all trying to charge towards the tall black city wall of Luoyan City!
"Kill! Kill!" The 30,000 soldiers, who had been holding back for so long, roared like lions howling on the mountaintop. They raised their broadswords and charged towards the city wall with all their might!
The towering city gate stood silently, oblivious to all of this.
Volume Two: How Many Return from Ancient Battles? Chapter 118 (End)
Ru Feng and Mu Wenchen used their lightness skills to get back to the city. Before they even entered the main tent, Gao Yueqi rushed over and shouted, "Marshal, I'm so glad you're alright!" His face was full of joy.
Ru Feng smiled slightly, and everyone gathered around. Nan Shan, Zui Zhu, and Zui Yue all held Ru Feng's hands and chattered about what had happened since they last met. Ru Feng smiled bitterly at Mu Wen Chen, who was standing to the side.
Mu Wenchen stood with his hands behind his back, shaking his head slightly. His eyes were clear and far-reaching, possessing a clarity that could see through everything. He stood there, aloof and unapproachable, yet exuding an alluring charm. So everyone around him just looked at him, but no one dared to approach and speak to him. Ru Feng sighed softly. This person before her was the one she had always longed for. Although he appeared to be otherworldly, an immortal untouched by worldly affairs, Ru Feng felt he was more like a hermit, a hermit who had seen through the ways of the world and was unfettered by worldly conventions.
But this hermit repeatedly went to great lengths for her, working tirelessly for her. Even though he knew she was a woman, he still supported her becoming a marshal. He had no worldly views and gave her room to grow. Although he couldn't always be by her side, he always stepped forward to help her when she was in trouble.
I should be content to have a boyfriend who treats me so well.
Thinking of this, Ru Feng secretly smiled.
"Senior brother, what are you grinning about?" Zui Zhu shouted without any respect, his anger rising as he drifted off into a daze.
Ru Feng snapped out of her daze, glared at Zui Zhu, then glanced at Mu Wenchen again, noticing the smile in his eyes. Her face flushed red, and she quickly turned away to hide her unease, carefully answering everyone's questions.
After everyone else had finished asking Ru Fan their questions, it was Ru Feng's turn. He mainly asked about the situation in the army, and was very happy to learn that Yu Chi Huaiyang was about to regain consciousness.
Gao Wei arrived quickly despite being busy. After dismissing a large group of people with a stern face, he saw Mu Wenchen and bowed respectfully. Ru Feng was slightly taken aback.
Gao Wei turned to Ru Feng and said seriously, "Marshal, it seems that the army in the opposite camp is gathering troops and preparing to attack the city."
Ru Feng was startled. He glanced at Mu Wenchen and immediately followed Gao Wei into the main tent, while Mu Wenchen followed behind Ru Feng.
Upon entering the main tent, after omitting some formalities, everyone immediately engaged in a tense discussion.
Ru Feng quickly got into the swing of things and listened carefully to their opinions. Seeing their confident expressions, Ru Feng smiled; it seemed everyone was quite confident.
Soon after, the enemy's war drums sounded.
Ru Feng looked at Mu Wenchen and asked, "Are we really going to do that?"
Mu Wenchen patted Ru Feng's head and said, "If we don't teach them a lesson, they'll always try to invade again. This isn't something that's happened in just one or two years, so this time we have to give them a good beating!"
Ru Feng nodded firmly: "Hey, let's give it our all then!"
Mu Wenchen smiled slightly: "After the war, we will return to the capital." His eyes were filled with fervor and anticipation. Ru Feng smiled knowingly, her face flushed with emotion. She naturally knew what he meant, but for the sake of so many people around, she could only give him a bright smile and couldn't say anything more.
Compared to the desolate scene in Spring Vine Kingdom, Luoyan City was actually bustling with activity. Everyone was silent and busy, but even so, many things were proceeding in an orderly manner, clearly having been prepared for a long time.
As Ru Feng looked down from the battlements on the city wall, he once again marveled at his grandfather's foresight and Gao Weinan's preparations, which saved Bai Ji a lot of effort.
The enemy's first wave of attack consisted of archery. However, because the wall was very high and only Ru Feng, a few generals, and some busy soldiers with their heads down were on top, the arrows did not harm their own side.
The second wave of attack was fierce, with catapults and battering rams violently pounding the city walls and gates.
Ru Feng felt the city tower beneath his feet shaking, and looking at the movable gate guards inside the city, Ru Feng frowned.
Gao Wei, who was standing next to him, leaned against the wall and asked, "Marshal, is it alright now?"
Ru Feng listened intently, glanced at Mu Wenchen again, and shook his head.
So we waited patiently.
Soon after, a battle cry rang out. Ru Feng waved his hand, a deep black light flashing in his eyes. The people below the city wall quickly climbed up, each holding their own belongings, ready to face the Spring Vine Kingdom's army.
"Kill!" The 30,000 soldiers, who had been holding back for so long, roared like tens of thousands of lions howling on the mountaintop. They raised their broadswords and charged towards the city wall with all their might!
The vanguard of ladder troops was the first to rush to the foot of the city wall. With a series of "thuds," twenty ladders were placed against the city wall, their tops already inserted between the battlements!
