Chapter 279 The Prime Minister Foresaw Things Like a God!

"Report!"

The scouts under the city wall brought up a cloud of dust and smoke when they rode their horses, and they arrived before the people arrived, and from their loud shouts, Fang Lun and the others seemed to be able to hear a touch of excitement.

"My lord prime minister, the Xuanyang Shenji Battalion in Mingcheng has abandoned the killing machine and replaced it with bows and arrows. General Yang is leading people to attack and kill. Presumably within today, the city will be destroyed!"

When the scout rushed under the city gate, raised his head and announced the result excitedly, all the civil servants and generals above the city gate, including Prime Minister Fang Lun and the Queen, were greatly relieved.

There were even a few civil servants who collapsed on the ground. There was no news just now, and all of them were tense. At this moment, their hearts relaxed, and their original strength seemed to be drained.

"God bless me Golden Wind!"

Although Fang Lun had no cultivation, he had experienced great events. He looked up at the sky at this moment, and upon hearing his words, there was a faint tear in the eyes of Empress Jinfeng not far away.

Originally, one Jinfeng country counted as one, but it never thought that when the main force of Jinfeng's army went south and Ning Taiping's imperial chariot personally marched, Xuanyang country would still have the power to fight back.

However, there was a big defeat in the plan of Beilin City in the past, and the overwhelming momentum of Xuanyang Shenji Battalion in the future, which almost stunned these civil servants and generals who stayed behind in the Golden Wind Capital.

Especially when the Xuanyang Shenji Camp was invincible all the way, even conquering dozens of cities, even the Ming City closest to the capital of Jinfeng Kingdom, everyone became panicked.

The former glory seemed to be destroyed by a 2000-strong Xuanyang Divine Machine Battalion. The most important thing they needed to think about was how to defend the Golden Wind Capital, so what if they couldn't?

At most, the capital of Jinfeng Kingdom is a bit more prosperous than other cities. In terms of the strength of the guards and the height of the city walls, it may not be comparable to a heavy border city like Duanri City.

The myth of the invincibility of the Xuanyang Shenji Battalion has always been a mountain that weighs on the hearts of the soldiers and civilians of the Golden Wind Capital, making them tense and a little out of breath.

Although Fang Lun accepted the proposal of Gu's relative, before that, he had never been too sure that he would win. What if it was a trap deliberately set up by Shenjiying?
But they had no choice, and Fang Lun could only use the 3 people to test the reality of the Shenji Camp. Now it seems that the effect of the test is obvious.

Yang Shu's desperate siege finally found out the reality of the Shenji Battalion, and may even have exhausted the last ammunition reserves of the Shenji Battalion, and now he can only defend the enemy with bows and arrows.

Once returning to this traditional way of fighting, Jinfeng Nation will not be afraid of any of the neighboring countries, even if it costs their lives, they can still win Ming City, after all, the opponent only has 2000 people.

"Explore again!"

Fang Lun, who looked up to the sky and sighed with emotion, lowered his head and gave a deep drink. The scout didn't even have time to enter the door for a drink, so he rode away directly.

Of course, before such an extremely exciting result, it doesn't matter if you drink water or not. As long as you win Ming City and destroy the Xuanyang Shenji Camp, are you afraid that there will be no water to drink?

"Empress, I believe that good news will come soon!"

At this time, Fang Lun seemed to have regained the demeanor of the prime minister of the Jinfeng Kingdom. He turned his head and said with a smile to the empress who was also blushing over there.

Now that the big victory is in sight, Fang Lun has to think about his future.

But now he is demoted, just acting as the Prime Minister's affairs, who knows how His Majesty the Monarch will deal with him after the war is over?
"Prime Minister Fang strategized, and this battle should be the first. When the war is over, I will definitely report to His Majesty and restore your position as prime minister!"

Queen Jinfeng, who is in a good mood, is reciprocating at this moment. Perhaps in her heart, Fang Lun is indeed the one who has made great contributions to defending the city. No matter what, Jinfeng Kingdom has been saved.

You must know the news from the Xuanyang Kingdom that if the Shenji Battalion really breaks through the Golden Wind Capital, those ordinary people may still survive, but the important Golden Wind officials, especially the Golden Wind royal family, may not be left alone. .

This is the rumor that Lu Xun deliberately let out, and it is also the price for the other party to dare to attack Lu Linger. Even if everyone in the former Jinfeng Kingdom heard the news, no one would believe it.

They didn't really panic until the Shenji Battalion went down to dozens of cities and came to the edge of the capital of Jinfeng Kingdom.

Otherwise, why would the majestic empress personally come to supervise the battle on the city wall?

As long as the invincible Shenji battalion can be wiped out, then it's no big deal to write some empty promises to Fang Lun. Anyway, in the end, it's not up to the monarch to decide.

However, Empress Jinfeng also believed that Ning Taiping would not turn a blind eye to Fang Lun's achievements in defending the city today. When that time came, it would not be a big deal for him to continue to be the prime minister of Jinfeng.

"Thank you Empress!"

After getting the answer he wanted, Fang Lun couldn't help but become more motivated. He heard him shout: "Everyone listen to the order. Tonight, Golden Wind City will hold a grand banquet to celebrate General Yang's achievements!"

It seems that Fang Lun already thinks that the coupons are in his hands. Can the mere 2 Xuanyang Shenji Battalion really rely on bows, arrows, and swordsmen to guard against Yang Shu's [-]-odd army?

"Hehe, Mr. Prime Minister knows things like a god. Look, has General Yang made a triumphant return over there?"

Just as Fang Lun's voice fell, a flattering sound came, which made him turn his eyes to the south with a smile on his face.

Immediately seeing the dust flying, the smile on his face couldn't help but grow stronger.

"It seems that the truth is a little underestimating General Yang, this speed is faster than I imagined!"

Due to the extreme distance and Fang Lun's lack of cultivation, he didn't notice that those were just remnants and defeated soldiers. He heard him smile and speak with a sense of complacency.

After all, the brothers of the Yang family are all members of his prime minister's mansion. Yang Li's betrayal made Fang Lun lose face, and even lost the prime minister's title, but this time Yang Li made a great contribution, and maybe he can get rid of the official hat. I got it back.

Hearing Fang Lun's words, Empress Jinfeng couldn't wait to look up, but unfortunately she also had no cultivation and could only see the dense figures in the distance.

boom!
As time went by, all the people above the south gate of the Golden Wind Capital could faintly hear a strange sound, but they had never seen the launch of the God Killing Machine, and they still didn't react for a while.

"Master Prime Minister, something is wrong!"

It wasn't until the countless figures got closer and closer to Golden Wind City that one of the generals who had reached the fifth level finally said something uncertain.

In fact, he had already realized that something was wrong, but seeing that the Prime Minister was so excited, he didn't dare to mention it just now.

As soon as this remark came out, the eyes of several generals beside him, including the foreign relative surnamed Gu, flickered.

Their senses and eyesight were much stronger than Prime Minister Fang Lun's. The figures in the golden wind uniforms outside looked messy at first glance.

This is not like a triumphant return after a big victory, but more like a hasty escape after a big defeat.

It's just that such a result, no matter whether it is a civil servant or a military commander, they don't want to accept it for a while.

"What nonsense are you talking about? What's wrong? If you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful and punish you for disturbing the morale of the army!"

Fang Lun felt a little uneasy, because at this moment he also vaguely saw the chaos of the army below, but he still yelled at this moment, and his voice was already stern.

Fang Lun never wanted to see failure. If it was the result he wanted, not only would it be difficult for Jinfeng Country to survive, but his old life might also be ruined here.

"Report!"

Just after Fang Lun's words of scolding fell, a loud voice suddenly came from under the city gate, and the voice was faintly familiar, attracting everyone's attention.

Looking at it, everyone really felt that the person looked familiar.

It turned out that that was the scout who had reported the military information before, but at the moment he was a little embarrassed, with disheveled hair, and he didn't know where his helmet fell.

"How is it? Did General Yang win a big victory and break the city, and the squadron returned to the court?"

Fang Lun, who had always been prudent, couldn't wait, so he asked aloud directly, but his anxiety became more and more intense. If this was the case, why did the scout even lose his hat?
"My... my lord Prime Minister, our army was defeated, General Yang was killed, Xuanyang... Xuanyang Shenji Battalion is coming to the capital of the country, and those behind are all my Jinfeng's... remnant soldiers!"

The scout's psychological quality is still very good, even though he was terrified in his heart, he still bite the bullet and finished his words, and then he felt a little quiet on the city wall, and his heart sank to the bottom.

"You...you are talking nonsense. Earlier you clearly said that the Xuanyang Shenji Battalion had changed their bows and arrows. How could General Yang lose?"

After a brief silence, Fang Lun on the city wall had long since lost his demeanor as a country's prime minister, and even looked a little dispirited.

But what he said was also true. The scout obviously sent back a military report not long ago.

Even if Yang Shu lost many soldiers in the previous temptation, there are still more than 2 soldiers left.

He doesn't believe that the Golden Wind Army, which is ten times stronger than the enemy, can't defeat a group of Xuanyang Army defending the city with bows and arrows?

"Tell me, are you a spy sent by Xuanyang Kingdom to try to disturb the morale of my Golden Wind army?"

The prime minister of Jinfeng found an excellent reason for himself in an instant. Seeing him condescending, he pointed at the loyal Jinfeng scout and shouted sharply.

"My lord prime minister, General Yang is really defeated. If we don't make a plan earlier, our capital of Jinfeng Kingdom...is in danger!"

The scout seemed to be more calm than the prime minister of a country. Seeing him raise his head and look at the group of golden officials, he couldn't help sighing and told a fact.

The calm words finally brought back everyone's minds, and even Fang Lun calmed down a bit.

At such a time, it doesn't really matter whether the scout below is a spy of Xuanyang Kingdom.

As the scout said, Yang Shu was defeated. It was obvious that their previous guess was not accurate. How could the opponent's Shenji Camp not seize this opportunity to counterattack?
