Allure of a Country Maiden-Chapter 1204 - 1201_1

The first step of attacking Jiangdong County, Minze Country can be said to have been a triumphant victory!

This time, only a few dozen soldiers died and more than a thousand were injured, but their injuries were not as serious as last time.

Zheng Huaiyuan directed the soldiers to transport the injured back to the camp for treatment.

Shangguan Xuanyi and his men did not continue sieging the city. Although a counter-attack while the enemy’s reinforcements were yet to arrive, and directly overcoming the city would be a good idea, the reality turned out to be cruel.

The soldiers were exhausted after fighting a battle, while the soldiers from Nangong Country in the city were full of energy!

Riding on the vigor of just one enemy soldier could outweigh the energy of two of their own soldiers. Thus, attacking under these conditions was not a wise choice!

Shangguan Xuanjun ordered, setting camp a hundred feet away from the city!

Once the soldiers’ strength was restored, they would siege the city again!

Every city is the hardest to conquer! It takes several days to capture it.

Once the soldiers had set up camp, the cook began to set up a temporary stove, preparing meals for the victors.

Seeing the soldier’s food was too simple, Xiao’er said, "Brother Shangguan, I saw many wild plants and game in the forest yesterday. We should gather some and add it to the soldiers’ meals."

The victory was so smooth this time that it should be celebrated. Plus, celebrating in front of the city gates would probably infuriate the enemy inside the city!

"Great!" Shangguan Xuanyi hardly rejected Xiao’er’s suggestions.

Upon hearing this, Di Shaowei said, "I’ll take a team over. Let’s gather more game! It’s rare to find such a place with various animals. The soldiers haven’t had a hearty meat meal for a long time."

Shangguan Xuanyi nodded in agreement.

So Shangguan Xuanyi, Xiao’er, and Di Shaowei led a team back into the dense forest of the grassland of death.

They quickly hunted a lot of game, of course, some were retrieved from Xiao’er’s storage space.

After the game was placed down, Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiao’er led another team back into the grassland of death.

As Mr. Lu Xun once said: there are no roads on the ground, but when many people walk, a path is formed!

The grassland of death was now in this situation.

Previously, they had led a hundred thousand soldiers through the grassland of death, carving out a clear path.

Why was Jiangdong County said to be geographically peculiar, easy to defend, and difficult to attack? Because it faces the sea on one side and a swamp on the other, it has very unique terrain, so it counts as a natural barrier for Nangong Country.

Now, the grassland of death, regarded by the people of Nangong Country as a flood-like beast, has been decoded by the people of Minze Country.

To prevent the Nangong people from taking advantage of this path, to teach them a lesson in their own way, Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiao’er had to lead people to set up formations in the forest and the grassland of death.

The two of them led a team, and it wasn’t until dawn that they finished setting up everything. Shangguan Xuanyi and the soldiers had gone two nights without sleep.

Xiao’er was better off, as she needed to enter her storage space to take care of the child, and she was able to sleep in her storage space during the child’s meal times.

After they set up the formation, they brought back a pile of game to the camp.

Then, early in the morning, the cooks began to boil water, start the fire, and process the game that Shangguan Xuanyi and the others had just hunted. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Mainly, they were roasting it. Xiao’er brought some spices and sprinkled them on the deer, lamb, and rabbit meat. Soon, the mouth-watering aroma of meat filled the air.

"Brothers, eat meat, drink wine, and fill your bellies. Later, we will break the city in one swoop!" Di Shaowei found several jars of wine from somewhere, and gave everyone one.

Drinking too much can be a bad thing, but a little can work wonders for courage.

"Good!" the soldiers responded loudly.

Having meat and wine is one of life’s great pleasures!

The soldiers inside the city were startled by this burst of cheering. Then they looked over and saw them eating meat and drinking wine early in the morning. Was this meant to stimulate them?

They only had a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun in the morning!

Isn’t the diet of Minze Country’s soldiers a bit too good?

The scent of meat and wine in the air made the soldiers of Nangong Country swallow involuntarily!

The general defending Nangong Country turned black!

This was deliberate, right? Aiming to disrupt the morale of the army!

Di Shaowei saw the soldiers of Nangong standing on the city wall, looking at them from a distance. He deliberately raised his voice and said, "Brothers, eat as much as you can. When we take over Jiangdong County, I will treat everyone to a great feast!"

"Good!" the soldiers replied in unison.

When the soldiers in Nangong Country heard this, they turned as dark as thunder.

Someone responded loudly: "Wanting to take over our Jiangdong County, dream on!"

"You don’t want us to take over Jiangdong County, dream on!" A soldier immediately shouted back.

"Come on, let’s see if you can take over the city. I can kill you with one arrow!" a Nangong soldier retorted.

"We will come over. Do you think we’re scared of you? Wait up!" After saying this, the Minze soldier quickly stuffed the meat in his hand into his mouth.

"Everyone, quickly finish your meat. Let’s pull those rabbits from inside the city down!"

So, the soldiers of Minze quickly finished their meat.

When Di Shaowei saw that everyone had eaten their fill, he sounded the horn and everyone quickly lined up and got into formation.

The defensive soldiers in Jiangdong County became afraid again. They were just talking big to vent their anger just now, but now that the Minze soldiers were starting to siege the city, how could they stand it!

The reinforcements hadn’t arrived yet, naturally they were hoping to deal with the soldiers of Minze Country then!

But of course, Minze’s soldiers had thought of this, and they wanted to capture the city as quickly as possible before the reinforcements from Nangong Country arrived.

Even if they could just open the city gate, it would be a great advantage!

Di Shaowei, sitting on a tall horse, watched the situation of the enemy and saw that their arrows had been used up, he then gave the order: "Get ready to breach the city gate!"

Several dozen soldiers lifted a huge log, ready to break open the city gate.

At this time, Shangguan Xuanyi, on his left and right, along with Shangguan Xuanjun and Xiao’er, flew up to the city wall!

The soldiers of Nangong Country who saw this were dumbfounded!

Was this man a fool?

He wanted to use Qinggong to fly up to the city wall!

Did he think he was a bird?

Did he know how high the city wall was?

He was definitely overestimating his abilities!
