Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Pampering My Little Husband
Chapter 505 Border City
The people of Nanzhao looked at the city reduced to ashes and shed tears of sorrow.
Wu Rui could only order everyone to retreat to the back of the mountain!
She now understands that if she continues to be greedy, her entire Southern Zhao kingdom might be wiped out...
Looking at the few remaining people... Wu Rui finally made up his mind.
They hid deep in the mountains, never to be seen again, and the Kingdom of Nanzhao ceased to exist.
Only the unparalleled Witch Clan…
The fire finally stopped when it reached the outermost city wall of the Nanzhao Kingdom!
Han Zixuan and You Fang have led all the soldiers to prepare for the great battle!
They could see the city reduced to ruins beneath their feet, and their eyes met.
Full of doubts, they eventually sent people to search the entire city.
They found not a single living Nanzhao person, but they did find hundreds of charred corpses!
The surrounding buildings also retain some of the characteristics of the Nanzhao Kingdom.
Lieutenant Li asked in bewilderment, "Where have all the people here gone? Did the fire burn them all down?"
That was so easy! They destroyed the Southern Zhao Kingdom with just one fire!
Han Zixuan looked up at the distant mountains with a solemn expression, clearly indicating that it was impossible for them all to have been burned to death!
They probably evacuated before the fire reached them.
Han Zixuan didn't speak, but You Fang said, "Idiot, can't you take a look at the deep mountains behind the city?"
Although the Southern Zhao Kingdom was a small country, it still had tens of thousands of people.
How could there only be a hundred or so corpses? They must have already escaped to the deep mountains!
Lieutenant Li scratched his head, then suddenly realized and chuckled, "Is that so? General You is right."
"Well...we should keep chasing them. The mountain roads are difficult, but we should be able to catch up."
He finished speaking and looked eager to try it out.
You Fang frowned and pondered for a long time before finally turning to Han Zixuan and asking softly.
"Commander Han, what do you think?"
Han Zixuan looked at the endless mountains around her and gently shook her head.
The people of Nanzhao Kingdom have lived deep in the mountains for generations, so they naturally know how to hide their rebellious nature.
Mountains upon mountains, making it impossible to determine the direction they fled in.
Lieutenant Li said smugly, "What's the big deal... Let's set another fire and see where they can run to!"
Han Zixuan glanced at her and rolled her eyes slightly. This brain is a good thing, it's a pity that Vice General Li doesn't know how to use it!
He could only explain it slowly to himself: "The reason for burning the outer mountains is that it is known that it will not connect to other mountain ranges."
Moreover, it will also harm Nanzhao if the burning continues.
Then this great fire will burn without end, until it reaches its limit. Do you know what that means?
"what!"
"When we arrived, it had been burning for three days. If the fire were to burn down all the mountains, it would be a huge disaster if it got out of control!"
Not only will the animals in the mountains and forests become extinct, but the problem will also spread to the areas where we live. Have you considered the consequences...?
Lieutenant Li lowered his head silently and murmured, "Should we go after the escaped Nanzhao people?"
Han Zixuan looked at General You and said, "General You must have already made up your mind..."
You Fang laughed and said, "It's no wonder that the good captain is appreciated by His Majesty."
Indeed, I believe that continuing the pursuit will be futile.
Since they fled, they must have realized they were powerless to resist us.
We can't keep dragging this out indefinitely; General He is still waiting for our support at the border.
We can't afford to delay any longer...
"If we leave like this, won't Nanzhao take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack?"
"A sneak attack? Hmph, if they dare to show their faces, I'll be worried about not being able to find them!"
Han Zixuan nodded slowly; You Fang's meaning was exactly what she was worried about.
Therefore, she agreed with General You's approach, "Now that this place has become ruins, let people investigate the surrounding area."
It would be better to leave some people here to be stationed, just in case.
Then send someone back to Kyoto to have someone take charge of the area.
"We are continuing our journey to Western Shu, only General He is counted..."
They were in charge of leading the charge, while the rear staff would need to contact the imperial court later to handle the aftermath.
You Fang nodded, "Yes, yes, I think it's a good idea. Send a message by carrier pigeon and have the officials from Nangui Province come over first."
After we rest and regroup, we'll head straight to the border…
Things were quickly arranged, and the good news arrived in Kyoto.
Feng Xiyue was grinning from ear to ear!
"Good... Hehe, Nan Zhao was so scared that it abandoned the city and fled. Hmph, how dare a small, peripheral country touch the majesty of my Fenglin?"
"They're utterly courting death..."
Seeing the additional territory appearing on the map, Feng Xiyue was overjoyed.
Shadow stood to the side, also smiling broadly. "Your Majesty, Commandant Han and General You have now led tens of thousands of soldiers to the border."
In this way, Western Shu will eventually fall into my Fenglin territory!
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiyue laughed even harder, her eyes widening in delight. "Haha...haha...I never imagined that one day I would become the first empress of this continent!"
This achievement is unparalleled; she will be the first to reach it, her name will be remembered for eternity!
Suddenly remembering something, she quickly looked at Shadow and said, "Shadow, you said that Han Zixuan made such a great contribution."
How should I reward her? Anything too meager would make me feel ashamed!
Han Zixuan's abilities are practically those of a founding general.
If it weren't for her repeatedly rescuing her from danger, how could she have secured her position on the throne?
Therefore, she must be given a position second only to the emperor to avoid disgracing her.
The shadow bowed its head, "Your Majesty, I understand that you have a clear mind..."
Feng Xiyue rolled her eyes at him and waved her hand, saying, "Never mind, never mind, I'll talk to my elder sister about it tomorrow!"
The relocation had already entered June, and He Yun on the border had been fighting with the Western Shu Kingdom for several months.
The Western Shu changed their usual way of fighting, and even with He Yun's caution, she found it difficult to cope.
After several defeats, they lost the cities of Mocheng and Shacheng.
Now he guards the city, which is the furthest from the border.
He Yun let the military doctor bandage the wound on her shoulder.
Many people had already gathered in the military tent, all of them with extremely solemn expressions, and several of them had bruises on their bodies.
He stared intently at the location on the border map, his brows furrowed tightly.
Pointing to a red dot, he said in a deep voice, "Tongcheng is our last checkpoint on the border. If we fail again..."
The Western Shu Kingdom will inevitably advance deep into our Fenglin territory.
"At that time, the people of Fenglin will surely be in danger..." His expression grew more and more somber as he spoke.
At this moment, a young general suddenly spoke up, "General, not counting the wounded, we now only have about 60,000 men left."
The Western Shu Kingdom has a strong and well-equipped army; can we...can we really hold out?"
He Yun shouted, "We must defend it even if we can't... If we defend it, what will happen to the people of Fenglin?"
Everyone lowered their heads, and He Yun took a breath, calming down a bit.
He calmly replied, "There's no need to worry so much. His Majesty said that reinforcements have already been dispatched..."
"They should...they should be here soon!"
