1766 The last battle
....
Second Madam Peng was moved, but she didn’t say anything. In any case, there was still more than a month to go on this journey. There was still a long time, so they could slowly talk about it.
She also took the opportunity to check out the environment along the way. If it was really possible and everything went smoothly in the West, she could give it a try.
……
At the same time they set off, Gu Xin and the rest also led their team to giant rock City.
Peng ze had already informed his subordinates of the mission for tomorrow. All he had to do was wait for Gu Xin and the rest to arrive.
In the afternoon, after Gu Xin and the others arrived, they didn’t exchange any pleasantries. Instead, they entered the city Lord’s mansion and began their meeting.
Peng ze handed the authority over to Gu Xin, the quicksand Princess, to lead the team. He and Lu Zheng, on the other hand, were generals from the great Zhou Dynasty who would a.s.sist Gu Xin.
Gu Xin didn’t reject his offer. Quicksand had more soldiers than great Zhou. The quicksand Army trusted her and in their hearts, she was the one who gave orders.
Ganzhen city was an ordinary city and was much easier to break through than giant rock City.
However, the cloud Sea Army was still large in number and could not be taken lightly.
On this day, everyone discussed until late at night before they went to rest.
On the 17th day of the first month, before dawn, Peng ze released two signal flares to the West and East.
In the past two days, they had also been sending messages to both sides. Xue Qianyu and Cheng huaijin’s Wuyun city would attack after the second signal flare was released, while Gaozi’s side would attack after the first signal flare was released. In other words, Gaozi’s side would attack at the same time as Gu Xin’s side.
After a whole day, ganzhen city was broken through. To everyone’s surprise, neither Angel nor general Yunhai was here. They seemed to have given up on the city, but from general Yunhai’s desperate resistance, it didn’t seem like they had given up on ganzhen city.
“Big brother-in-law, release the signal flare and tell second brother Xue and my brother that we’re going to attack Cloud Sea Royal City directly!” It was already night time when they entered the city, but Gu Xin did not stop.
Peng ze released the signal flare.
From a distance, the city was brightly lit, as if it was hosting a grand event.
Very quickly, the three groups of people arrived at the three city gates of Cloud Sea Royal City.
On the city walls, the archers and trebuchets were already prepared.
Gu Xin looked up but did not see Angel. She furrowed her brows. Did he just run away? Are you not going to try at all?
It was a very strange feeling.
However, they were already at the city gate, so they couldn’t give up.
“Attack!”
Under Gu Xin’s command, the soldiers under her charged towards the city gate.
The trebuchets and archers on the city gate tower also began to move.
The quicksand Army used their s.h.i.+elds to cover the great Zhou Army as they reached the city gate. The great Zhou Army carried a piece of solid wood as they were covered to the city gate.
“One, two, three, charge!”
The leader shouted.
“One, two, three, charge!”
He rushed forward with the solid wood, and the wood hit the door.
“One, two, three, charge!”
Again and again, neat and powerful.
Swords rained down from the city gate tower, and the falling rocks injured many soldiers.
But the soldiers didn’t care about their injuries at all. They started to climb up one by one, forming a human ladder. When the human ladder was halfway up, Gu Xin, Lu Zheng, Peng ze, Gu Hui, and a few others started to climb up from the bottom.
Even though the quicksand Army and the great Zhou Army had just fought during the day, they were still in high spirits. They were already outside the cloud Sea Royal City. They were going to charge in with all their might!
