In midsummer, the woods a mile away are lush and leafy, and the nightingales sing in the forest, clear and sweet.
Feng Qingzhuang and Wu Jingyu took advantage of the cover of the night to quickly shuttle through the forest, approaching the camp of Cang Yan's army.
Within five meters of the camp, all the lush grass has been cut, the camp is brightly lit, and soldiers from the Cang Yan Kingdom patrol back and forth.
Taking advantage of the cover of the grass, the two of them crawled forward and walked around to the back of the camp. They lay down in the grass and looked at the situation inside the camp from a distance.
"The security is tight. I'm afraid we'll be discovered as soon as we go out." Wu Jingyu pushed aside the grass in front of him and whispered.
"Who said we were going out?" Feng Qingzhuang's eyes were as calm as water, without waves, and she said calmly
"Yeah, look at me, I actually forgot that the Suzaku you summoned can spit out flames," Wu Jingyu raised his lips and smiled.
Wu Jingyu raised his lips and smiled with a devilish charm, then continued:
"How about the two of us summon the dragon and the red bird respectively, and then we can combine the dragon and the bird to turn Feng Fox's camp upside down."
"No, when we were in Bailu City, you summoned the divine dragon. Feng Yu had already seen it. If you summoned the divine dragon, he would definitely be able to guess that it was you, and he would have to take precautions. But I can summon the Suzaku, which is the only thing in the world.
You alone know this, and your divine dragon can't breathe out flames, so why waste your spiritual power by summoning it to preserve it? If we are discovered, you can take me and escape, right?"
After Feng Qingzhuang rejected it, she slowly analyzed
"What you say makes sense, I'll listen to you."
Turning to look at the person beside him, Wu Jingyu's eyes were as gentle as water and he smiled slightly.
After the two of them discussed it, they waited for a while. When Xiao Jinzi came back, he reported the places in the camp where food, fodder and military supplies were stored.
After listening, the two went back to the woods to hide.
I saw Feng Qingzhuang take out a dagger from Mo Yin Yunfeng and cut her palm, and said in her mouth
"Use my blood to draw the power of heaven and earth, the spiritual power of fire, and summon the Suzaku to appear."
After the spell fell, she was suspended in the air, and a red bird with red feathers emerged from her body. Its red eyes were indescribably weird.
"Master, what are your orders?"
In mid-air, Suzaku kept flapping its wings and asked respectfully
"Go, burn the Cangyan Nation's army, food, grass and armaments," Feng Qingzhuang ordered coldly and told Suzaku the exact location.
"Yes, Master"
After receiving the order, Suzaku spread its wings and flew at an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, it was hovering over the camp of the Cangyan Nation army, and a crisp cry resounded throughout the night sky.
"Look, what kind of bird is that? It's huge, with deep red feathers. It's so beautiful."
The patrolling Cangyan soldiers looked up and looked at the Suzaku hovering in the sky and said:
In an instant, the entire camp started to shudder, and the soldiers resting in the camp heard the discussion and ran out one after another.
Suddenly, the Suzaku gave a longer and clearer cry, opened its sharp beak, and sprayed out a pillar of fire, targeting the food and grass in the camp.
It turns out that the Suzaku was hovering in the sky just now to find the food and grass stored in the camp.
"It turns out that this strange bird can also spit out flames," said a Cangyan soldier.
As soon as the soldier finished speaking, the soldiers responsible for guarding the food and grass began to shout
"Fight the fire, the food and grass are burning."
The soldiers hurriedly started to put out the fire. However, the camp was still some distance from the water source, and the distant water could not put out the nearby fire.
Fire borrows wind, wind helps fire
In the blink of an eye, the fire spread, and the place where the food was stored was red.
Then, the Suzaku's huge wings fluttered and flew towards the place where the military supplies were piled. It opened its sharp beak and another pillar of hot fire spurted out. In an instant, the fire started again, and the camp was in chaos.
"Master, what's wrong is that there are strange birds hovering over the camp, and they are actually spitting out flames. All the grain, grass and armaments stored in the camp have been ignited." Feng Ying looked extremely anxious and hurriedly ran into Feng Yu's tent to report.
"Go and have a look." Feng Yu hurriedly walked towards the outside of the camp.
I saw thick smoke billowing in the camp, the soldiers were in chaos, and a ball of hot flames spread quickly towards the surrounding tents with the help of the wind. The entire camp had turned into a sea of fire.
Before Feng Yu could give the order and arrange for the soldiers to extinguish the fire, he heard the sound of iron hoofs. Di He led five thousand cavalry and eighteen ghost cavalry, as well as money. Man Guan had already entered the camp. Every horse was blindfolded with black cloth.
The Cangyan soldiers who were in chaos were helpless to resist. Countless soldiers were killed by Di He, Qian Manguan and five thousand cavalry.
After the sneak attack was successful, Di He and others were not eager to fight, and they gave up as soon as they were ready.
Of course, this is what Feng Qingzhuang told Qian Manguan before, asking him to tell Di He
I saw Di He sitting on the horse, waving his hands and shouting, "Retreat!"
The five thousand cavalrymen came and left quickly. They exited the Cangyan soldier camp in a well-trained manner.
When Di He and others came to kill them, Feng Yu and Feng Ying rushed to the cavalry camp. After reorganizing, before they could fight, Di He had already led 5,000 cavalrymen to withdraw from the camp.
"Master, do you want to pursue me?"
Looking at the cavalry gradually going away, Fengying sat on the horse and asked
"No need to pass on the order, the army will withdraw to Lengjiang City" Feng Yu's voice was as cold as ice
Lengjiang City, one of the cities captured by Feng Yu
"Yes" Feng Ying stepped back and gave the order.
Feng Yu sat on the horse, looked up at the sky, looked at the red bird hovering over the camp, his eyes were as deep as the abyss, and he murmured in his mouth
"Are you here?"
After a night of fire and a cavalry raid led by Di He, the Cangyan Kingdom's 500,000-strong army lost 70,000 to 80,000. The Dongqi Kingdom was considered a small victory.
In the woods, after seeing the success, Feng Qingzhuang recalled Suzaku and returned to her body.
"We will set fire to the military camp tonight. Cang Yan's army will suffer heavy losses in food, grass and supplies. I believe that Feng Hu will not care about capturing Tonghua City in the near future, but should find a way to raise food and grass to prevent his 600,000-strong army from starving to death." Wu Jing
There was a smile in Yu's eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up in pleasure
"There was a fire tonight. It can be said that the danger of Tonghua City has been solved. Let's go back to the city." Feng Qingzhuang said with a smile on her face and a relaxed tone as she ran all the way from Lingcheng. She was worried that if Tonghua City could not be defended, what would happen to Dongqi Kingdom?
That's it. I can finally feel relieved today.
Pulling out the horse from the woods, Feng Qingzhuang hugged Xiao Jinzi, got on the horse, and headed straight for Tonghua City with Wu Jingyu
In Tonghua City, when he learned that Feng Qingzhuang and Wu Jingyu had returned to the city, Di He was so excited that he came out to greet them personally.
"The general will finally meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"How is the situation in the city now?"
This was the issue that Feng Qingzhuang was most concerned about, so she asked
