Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 373 - 371

Chapter 373: Chapter 371

The military camp of Xiyue Country was in turmoil!

Not a single grain was left in the granary!

All the stolen children were gone too!

All the food, as if vanished into thin air, without any trace left behind!

It was unbelievable!

The Khan of Xiyue Country was startled from his dreams. When he heard that the food in the granary and the children had disappeared, he was so angry that he promptly executed the person who delivered the news!

The palace attendants quickly knelt down.

The Khan of Xiyue paced restlessly on the ground.

What do they mean by vanished into thin air? How could all that food disappear into thin air!

They had deployed so many troops to snatch back those resources!

To take away so much food without making a single sound, how was that even possible?

Even if it was possible to move it quietly, it could absolutely not be done overnight!

The Khan suspected there was a traitor within their ranks!

But regardless of who took it!

Rob!

Rob them right now!

They would rob back everything that had been stolen!

The horns for the pre-war assembly sounded...

With no food left in the granary, the empty stomachs of the soldiers of Xiyue Country echoed the horns.

After regaining his composure, the Khan of Xiyue Country stood on the inspection platform to boost the morale of the soldiers.

"We don’t have a single grain left in our storehouse! If you guys don’t want to starve, endure your hunger, fight with everything you have till you make the soldiers of Minze Country retreat in disarray! For your wives and children at home, so they won’t starve or freeze, so they won’t suffer harsh conditions, we will seize a city this time! We will not stop till we succeed!"

"Seize the city! We will not stop till we succeed!" The soldiers immediately responded.

At dawn, the horns sounded, and the war broke out.

As the drums of thunder sounded, the soldiers of Minze Country were ready for battle...

Filled with fighting spirit, the soldiers of Xiyue Country charged forward...

The Two Dragons Water Formation was a military formation with two hidden ’dragons’. The troops were divided into two, with Shangguan Xuanjun leading one ’dragon’, and General Li leading the other.

In battle, when the soldiers were in position, the ’dragons’ would form. It’s called Two Dragons Water Formation! The power of the Two Dragons Water Formation would greatly increase, making it unstoppable!

If the two ’dragons’ were to merge, it would really be invincible, with no one able to block its path! They would be able to attack and win every battle!

Every strategy has a solution. To break this formation, they had to contain the two ’dragons’, the first of which couldn’t form! Even if they unfortunately formed, they couldn’t let them merge. If they did merge, the defeat would be inevitable, and there would be no way to break the formation.

If they wanted to prevent the formation from forming, they would need a highly skilled person, in the heart position between the two ’dragons’, to cut off the flow of fresh blood and prevent the two ’dragons’ from forming!

The wind rises, and the swords and blades shine from every direction.

Shangguan Xuanyi stood on the highest point of the city, holding a command flag in one hand and a horn in the other, directing the overall situation.

Xiao’er, dressed as a bodyguard protecting him, watched the battle from behind him: These people really put their lives on the line to defend their land!

The formation was gradually taking shape, the general, Yelu, of Xiyue Country, fought off ten men single-handedly, slashing with deadly ferocity in the heart of the formation.

Shangguan Xuanjun and General Li were both entangled by dozens of skilled fighters, unable to get close to Yelu!

Seeing the formation about to fail, Shangguan Xuanjun shouted loudly, "Whoever kills Yelu, this general will reward him with 100 taels of gold!"

Upon hearing this, Yelu couldn’t help but laugh wildly, arrogantly saying, "Only 100 taels of gold for my life? I’m worth more than just 100 taels of gold!"

General Dingyuan, played by Yang Yong, pretended to fight the enemy while carefully observing the overall situation, and he felt uneasy.

Perched atop a height, Shangguan Xuanyi saw Yelu stationed at the heart of the Two Dragons’ formation. Surely, he couldn’t have missed this!

The archery skills of that person could snipe a leaf from a hundred steps away!

Although his view of the overall situation from the battlefield was limited, his natural intelligence allowed him to quickly realise that something was amiss.

The soldiers of Xiyue found it increasingly difficult to slay their enemies.

Yet, the soldiers of Minze were gradually turning the tide, their momentum unstoppable!

Looking again towards the Xiyue military strategist positioned high above, he saw the command flag waving haphazardly.

The formation of the Two Dragons had been manipulated. They had fallen into a trap!

The thousands of soldiers in the guard formation were the real dragons!

Now that the body of the dragon was formed, wouldn’t the tail be far behind?

Di Shaowei and Li Mingfang directed the expanding Two Dragons at a pace visible to the naked eye. The true dragons were finally taking shape and growing stronger.

"Charge!" Shangguan Xuanyi put down the command flag. His cold yet magnetic voice shot into everyone’s heart like an arrow.

The hearts of Minze’s soldiers quaked in unison, their blood surging as they echoed in unison, "Charge!"

The roaring command echoed through the heavens!

At this point, each step the Xiyue soldiers took towards the frontlines was a step closer to death.

Each soldier of Xiyue, regardless of rank or file, was falling...

"Retreat! Quick, retreat!" Yelu called out loudly, seeing the military strategist frantically waving the retreat flag!

They had fallen into a trap. If they continued to fight, they would face total annihilation!

The advancing soldiers of Xiyue, upon hearing this news, quickly turned and ran, shouting to those behind them, "Retreat, retreat quickly! Do not advance!"

Upon hearing the orders, the soldiers of Xiyue began to retreat...

"Chase! Do not let a single one escape!" Li Mingfang quickly commanded, seeing the opportunity to eliminate the enemy completely as they began to flee.

"Wait! Never corner an enemy!" Di Shaowei quickly tried to stop her.

"Sparing the tiger is inviting future calamity!" With a squeeze of her horse’s flank, Li Mingfang dashed ahead, and several dozen bodyguards quickly followed.

Di Shaowei was so angry that he wanted to strangle that woman!

"Don’t chase them. I’m going to call Vice General Li back!" Di Shaowei told the soldiers and then, gritting his teeth, dashed forward alone.

The direction in which the Xiyue’s soldiers were fleeing led into the desert. The shifting sands there changed unpredictably in an instant.

That was the territory that the people of Xiyue were truly familiar with!

It might be paradise for those of Xiyue, but it was hell for them.

"Brother Shangguan! They cannot pursue! Quick, call them back!" Xiao’er cried out when she saw Li Mingfang chasing the fleeing Xiyue soldiers.

This weather, the strong wind was rising, the shifting sand dunes were invisible killers, they could easily trap people alive in the desert!

Shangguan Xuanyi blew his horn, waving the retreat command...

But Li Mingfang stubbornly moved forward, determined to vent the anger inside her!

General Li returned from beheading a vice-general of Xiyue, shouting, "Mingfang, come back! Do not chase a desperate enemy!"

Unfortunately, his voice could no longer reach Li Mingfang’s ears!

She was so consumed with bloodlust that even if she heard him, she would have ignored it!

When Shangguan Xuanyi tried to jump off, Xiao’er held onto his clothes and said firmly, "I am going!"

Without hesitation, Shangguan Xuanyi held her waist and jumped onto the horse. They soon gave chase.

"Guard the city! I’ll go after them!" With these words left to Shangguan Xuanjun and General Li, Shangguan Xuanyi spurred his horse forward.
