Chapter 238 Waiting for an army of 100,000 to attack again?
Seeing their serious requests, King Pingnan felt a headache.
Of course he knew Lin Yiqiu's kindness to them, otherwise he wouldn't have been so anxious to go to the palace to ask for help.
But he was really not willing to take the risk of letting his daughter and son go together!
After a moment, he spoke in a deep voice.
"Nian Qiao, if that's the case, then you can come with me, but you must obey your father's orders! You must not make any unauthorized claims!"
He turned around and taught him a lesson.
Xia Nianqiao had already stood up, nodded and said: "Don't worry, father, I will be obedient!"
Xia Lingfeng was a little stunned at this time.
"Father, what about me? Can't I go with you?"
"You already have a son, and Zeng Yumeng is pregnant. How can I let you risk it?"
"This matter has been decided! Xia Nianqiao comes with me! You stay in the house honestly! Do you understand?"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xia Lingfeng to continue to plead, King Pingnan had already left the mansion with his daughter.
Seeing this, Xia Lingfeng could only sigh.
"That's all, brother Lin, you must not die in Shiye City!"
He kept murmuring in his heart.
First, he went outside the city to pick up the military talisman and explained his intention.
Naturally, everyone in the imperial army knows the identity of King Pingnan, and no one dares to be disrespectful in the slightest!
Around dusk, King Pingnan had already led 40,000 forbidden troops and started marching towards Shiye City!
40,000 people, all marching lightly and quickly, there is only one thing that matters, and that is speed!
No matter what, he had to rush to Shiye City as quickly as possible!
Among the team, Xia Nianqiao, as the adjutant's staff officer, felt anxious and proud at the same time!
"Wait for me, Lin Yiqiu! I, Xia Nianqiao, will come to rescue you soon!"
On the other side, Stone City!
In a few days, it can be said that Xia Qingwu's attack has not stopped at all!
Whether it's the siege equipment outside the city gate or the soldiers crawling on the city gate!
Under Xia Qingwu's command, they all launched the most violent attack on Shiye City!
But with Lin Yiqiu in charge of Stone Industry City, it would not be easy for Xia Qingwu to win.
In the past few days, although some soldiers were able to attack the tower, they were all killed by Lin Yiqiu and Cang Hong in the end!
Therefore, Xia Qingwu's attack on Shiye City made almost no progress!
The city gate still won't open! Lin Yiqiu on the city tower still has no intention of surrendering!
"This damn eunuch! I didn't expect that he really has some tricks up his sleeve!"
Riding on his horse, Xia Nianqiao looked at the soldiers in front of him who failed to attack the city again. He waved his hand to make everyone stop.
The efficiency of this kind of siege is too low. Although she has more troops, it is not an option to continue to use them like this.
Xia Nianqiao thought, it would be better to send fast horses to his base camp and call in more troops!
By then, are the 100,000-strong army still afraid that they won’t be able to capture a single Shiye City?
But when they saw that the attack below the tower had stopped, Lin Yiqiu's voice continued to be heard from the tower.
"Princess, I advise you to give up."
"With your current military strength, it is impossible to attack Shiye City!"
"As long as I, Lin Yiqiu, are here, you will never be able to enter Shiye City in this life! I will leave my words here!"
As a eunuch, Lin Yiqiu showed unparalleled domineering power at this moment.
Not long after, Cang Hong also heard a stern voice.
"Princess, the crime of treason is a serious crime. Stop now. You still have a chance to explain yourself in front of His Majesty."
"If you still persist in your stubbornness, you will pay a heavy price!"
These days, although their imperial army has consumed a lot, they still have no problem defending the city!
Cang Hong firmly believed that as long as this continued! Xia Qingwu would never succeed!
However, at this moment, Xia Qingwu suddenly took a bow from the soldier next to her.
Then he bent his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming it at Lin Yiqiu and others on the tower!
Whoosh!
The sharp arrow flew out fiercely in an instant!
This arrow is very fast. If it were anyone else, it would be shot directly through the throat!
However, as a master-level expert, how could Lin Yiqiu be injured so easily?
With a flash of his body, he dodged the sharp arrow!
Not only that, when the sharp arrow passed by him, he caught it with his hand!
"Princess, you want to kill me like this, but it's not enough!"
With a strong force in his hand, the sharp arrow was crushed to pieces by Lin Yiqiu!
Xia Qingwu looked at Lin Yiqiu's eyes, and her murderous intent became even crazier!
"Lin Yiqiu! You guy! This princess will definitely let you die without a place to die!"
"Haha, there are many people who have said this to me, but so far, no one can do it."
"Princess, if you choose to surrender now, I have a good relationship with Emperor Qian, so maybe I can beg for you in front of her!"
Lin Yiqiu's tone was a little more teasing.
Below, Xia Qingwu snorted disdainfully.
After a moment, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Lin Yiqiu, I admit that I can't break the city now, and I can't kill you, but you don't think it's really safe just to defend the city with so few troops, right?"
After saying that, Xia Qingwu smiled even more wantonly.
"I have sent people to my camp. In three or four days at most, another 50,000 troops will arrive!"
"At that time, a hundred thousand troops will besiege Shiye City together. Do you think your eight thousand people can still stop it?"
The ferocious smile on the corner of her mouth was extremely terrifying. At this time, Xia Qingwu looked at Lin Yiqiu and others on the tower as if she was looking at a dead person.
She believed that as soon as her army arrived, this Shiye City would be easily defeated.
And after hearing what she said, Lin Yiqiu couldn't help but frown again.
At night, after inspecting the city wall and making sure that Xia Qingwu had not launched an attack under the cover of darkness, Lin Yiqiu breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this time, Cang Hong was already worried.
"Lin Yiqiu, Xia Qingwu is right. If we wait for her other 50,000 troops to arrive, our situation will be even more precarious!"
"At that time, it is really impossible for eight thousand people to defend this Shiye City!"
Lin Yiqiu naturally understood this, and could only sigh: "I know this, but I have no other way at the moment."
"The only hope is that the capital has already known the news and can send troops over quickly."
"We can actually abandon Shiye City now and lead the army to escape directly, but I don't want to do that. Although I am a eunuch, I won't be driven out of the city by a woman!"
Lin Yiqiu said angrily in his heart that he felt that the eldest princess Xia Qingwu was simply too unlovable.
Look at Wei Wanqiu and Mu Xinrou, how gentle they are, how come this eldest princess has become so virtuous?
But it’s understandable when you think about it, this military camp has completely molded him into a man, and everything he does now is no different from a real man!
Even if I were to do it myself, I might not be able to subdue her! This chapter has been completed!
