She Is Not a Witch

Vol 4 Chapter 72: enchanted witch

Hedaizhou, Ziye City.

The mighty river flows eastward, dividing the land in two, and Ziye City is located on the south bank of the river.

After the Beifu army repelled Huainan King's subordinates, their itinerary and progress were stuck at the edge of the river. Although some dragon riders could easily cross the river for investigation, the hundreds of thousands of troops without wings still had difficulty crossing this natural danger. .

When the number of people is too large, many tactics are difficult to use. Facing the large river several kilometers wide, it becomes extremely difficult for the large army of the Beifu Army to maneuver in a low-level manner, and only a few thousand elites are sent to the south bank. , It is also difficult to shake the city where the legion is stationed.

So the two sides came to a stalemate here, but this is ultimately more beneficial to King Huainan, because he has the support of aristocratic families behind him, and has a nearly continuous flow of troops and supplies, which can be transported from the Yellow Sea. On the other side, after being transferred from the mountain city of Beifu, the survival of the army has entered a countdown.

At the beginning of August, because of the prolonged stalemate, when the sergeants under King Huainan thought that the Beifu Army was in a desperate situation and was about to collapse, the offensive finally started.

The improvised boats went south from the upper reaches, and under the pull of the current, they formed a rough slash and rushed to the southern river bank.

Facing these low and rough boats, King Huainan's fleet stationed at the river port of Ziye City moved immediately.

These fleet ships that were originally cruising in the Yellow Sea were loaded with advanced firearms of the dynasty. After opening the side hatches, a series of pitch-black cannons roared continuously, and fiery red shells shot out, falling on these low woods heading south. On the boat, there was a high splash of water.

The flames were scattered, and the boards flew across. Some soldiers of the Beifu army on board were directly blasted into the river and sank in the turbulent turbulence. The battlefield was almost one-sided and tragic.

But this is also helpless. The Beifu army lacks ships and warships for water warfare, so they can only pile up the way forward with human lives.

When a large number of wooden boats sank in the water, a small number of wooden boats passed through the blockade and approached the southern river bank, and they faced the soldiers of King Huainan who were waiting in full battle.

Arrows shot from the longbow covered the sky and covered the ground like rain. The few Beifu army soldiers who landed had to hold up silver and iron shields and march forward with difficulty. Some people were shot and fell down from time to time.

Seeing that this small number of soldiers were about to fall under the rain of arrows, the sound of Long Roar's support finally came from the sky.

The flames gushed down, sweeping across the rain of arrows that filled the sky, blowing most of them away and becoming thinner, and the arrows with flaming lights fell from the sky in random places, obliquely inserted into the soft soil on the river bank.

Afterwards, another group of dragonriders from the Beifu army took off from the north bank and flew towards the south bank, grabbing thick iron cables.

"No, they want to tie the Hengjiang River!" The guards in Ziye City saw what the Beifu army was thinking, and immediately let all their air forces take off.

The air cavalry driving the giant dragon and black eagle immediately flew up, and what they faced was the frenzied attack of the dragon cavalry of the Beifu Army.

The dragon riders who were guarding the iron chain crossing the river were fearless. Such a fierce attack caught these empty riders under King Huainan's command by surprise. The two sides exchanged casualties at an extremely fast speed. After the icy cold iron dragon spear of the Dragon Knights of the Beifu Army penetrated and tore through them, the rest of the empty knights also felt chills in their hearts.

To them, this is just an ordinary task, not to the point of risking their lives, but to these dragonriders in the north, it is not, as the defenders thought, they have few chances left And for this south crossing, tens of thousands of comrades have died on the river at this moment. If it fails, these sacrifices will become meaningless, and the Beifu army will collapse soon. So before taking off, the general gave these dragon rides a death order, they must succeed, there is no way out.

With the support of Fenghuo Dayi and General Zhuo Muye's personal prestige, the Beifu army burst out with the strongest fighting spirit and put all their hopes on crossing the river this time.

In the sky, the iron rope held by the giant dragon was lowered, and then thick steel long cones were inserted into the river and the two banks, and connected to the iron rope, and the passage connecting the two banks was slowly formed.

Seeing that the ships of the Beifu army passed quickly along the iron cables and tied them together continuously to form a pontoon bridge on the river, the defenders on the south bank also ordered artillery bombardment, continuously smashing the wooden boats on the iron cables. The battle for crossing the river is far from over. to the end.

After several rounds of shooting, although a large number of wooden boats on the river surface were broken, the artillery of the Beifu Army was also ready, and began to aim at the artillery positions on the south bank to fight back. So the Beifu army continued to send wooden boats to build a pontoon bridge along the iron cables.

On the other side, the fleet that fought against a large number of small boats across the river also wiped out most of their opponents, and now they finally freed up their hands to attack the iron chains and wooden boats on the river. They kept wandering and scattered, even if the artillery of the Beifu army tried to deal with it, it had little effect , I could only watch helplessly as the iron chains and wooden boats crossing the river were blown up again and again, and countless soldiers struggled to sink into the water.

The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly. When the air cavalry of the defenders in the sky were repelled by the dragon cavalry of the Beifu army, several families who supported King Huainan also sent their disciples to support them.

In the barracks, Zhuo Muye stood on a high wooden platform and looked at the battlefield on the river, his brows were furrowed. Although he was a famous general, it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. It is a fact that the Beifu army is lacking in strength.

The strategy of dividing the troops cannot be said to be bad. This made the new king collapse without a chance to breathe, but it also led to the lack of troops on this side and was trapped on the north bank for a long time.

"Haven't it arrived yet?" He, who has always been known for his calmness, felt a little anxious at this moment. Opportunities on the battlefield are fleeting, and the results of being early and late are often very different, and the opportunity is here. In the most critical few minutes.

"I can't wait any longer." Looking at the iron chains on the river surface that were gradually breaking, he raised his hand, ready to wave it down, and let the last and largest group of legions come forward. Originally, this group needed to cooperate with cover.

The battlefield on the river was like a raging fire, with scattered broken boards, floating corpses, swimming figures, burning flames and black smoke everywhere. Just when the defenders on the south bank gradually breathed a sigh of relief, they felt that this time they could greatly dampen the spirit of the Beifu army. , A sound of earth shaking came from the northwest direction.

"Enemy attack!"

The long horn blew urgently, and the sound of whimpering spread in the sky, attracting the attention of both sides of the battlefield.

On the upper reaches of the south bank, teams of cavalry galloped down from the upstream direction. Through the dust and smoke, the flag of the cavalry going north was gradually seen clearly. It was the iron cavalry belonging to the Beifu Army, the one that marched westward before. branch.

After destroying the new monarch, they repaired in Luojing for a whole day, then left the bustling and dilapidated capital, and went down the south, galloping all the way, so that the Huainan king defenders on the south bank were a little caught off guard.

"How could it be so sudden?" The guards in Ziye City couldn't figure out why they hadn't received any notification after traveling for so long. Could it be that there were no guards along the way?

In fact, it did exist, but this time the Beifu army divided the cavalry into several groups, attacking and galloping in turn, and sending some cavalry to restrain the opponent at each place, and then continued to go south without stopping, so as to grab the opponent before they knew it.

Soldiers are expensive and fast, but there is also a price. The exhaustion of the long journey has reduced the combat effectiveness of the elite cavalry of the Beifu Army. If there is no cooperation from friendly troops, their tens of thousands of cavalry will be overwhelmed by the defenders immediately, and there will be no more. Physical escape.

The timing on the battlefield is like this. When this cavalry appeared, Zhuo Muye also decisively ordered to let the last group of attacking legions come forward. This is also the largest and most elite group of soldiers. They roared and charged on the iron chain At the same time, all the remaining wooden boats on the river bank also set off to cover the soldiers crossing the river.

The Yellow Sea Fleet on the river kept shooting, and the pontoon bridge was blown up from time to time, and then it was filled by the wooden boats behind. As time passed, the small boats of the Beifu Army also surrounded them. The tall ship climbed, and the two sides began to confront each other on the deck.

Under the interference of close combat, the artillery fire fired by these warships finally became smaller, and they began to adjust their speed, get rid of the small boats behind them, and return to the south bank.

On the south bank, the defenders urgently adjusted their direction to meet the enemy, blocking the charging cavalry. In the forest of muskets and guns.

During the time gained, a large number of soldiers of the Beifu army finally passed the river bank and began to fight the defenders on the bank. At this time, the front line became corrupted, and there were chaotic killings everywhere, all thanks to the bravery of the soldiers themselves.

The battle between the two sides continued from early morning to near dusk, and finally, amidst the sound of collapse, the gate of Ziye City was broken open, and the Beifu army in silver armor and white clothes swarmed in, and the people in the city were dressed in red and black battle armor. Huainan Wang's army was drowned.

The city of Ziye changed hands, and the army of Beifu finally crossed this natural barrier and began to border many states of King Huainan.

——

Just when King Huainan was in a state of desperation for the Beifu Army and Youxin State, an uninvited guest came to the remote Heishuizhou.

"This is the residence of the Red Immortal Sect. It looks familiar to me."

A woman dressed in black gauze was walking on the path in the field. She looked around, her figure was graceful, and her attractive figure was revealed in the hazy gauze, which made some farmers on the side of the road stare blankly.

"Ah, it seems that someone has malicious intentions. This is not okay~" She blinked, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, which made the passers-by who were already intoxicated by her appearance shudder, as if they couldn't take a breath. Xing passed out on the side of the road.

"It's quiet now." She chuckled and leaped forward lightly, but her bare feet were always a little away from the ground, otherwise there would be dust and mud.

This beautiful and charming woman made no secrets along the way, causing many passers-by to fall into a coma, until she reached the main gate of the Red Immortal Sect.

"Who is your Excellency?" The two true disciples stationed at the main entrance asked the other disciples to retreat, and then the two stepped forward carefully, perhaps because they were both women. Although they were full of surprise, they still managed to maintain a bit of sobriety , Let the fellow disciples quickly inform the elders of the faction.

"Me, let me think about it, which name should I use now, by the way, let's call it 'Yi Miaoxin'." She tilted her head thinking, just the way her fingers lightly wrapped around her hair made people's hearts flutter.

Seeing that the two true disciples couldn't resist at all, there was a gust of wind in the Red Immortal Sect, and the metal copper plates hanging under the eaves collided with each other, piercing far in the mountains.

Soon, many disciples of the Scarlet Immortal Sect came, and when there were more and more people, several masked elders wearing hoods appeared, they let the disciples in the faction disperse, and then walked towards this place carefully. woman.

Among these elders, there are many seven-level and eight-level existences, which are the hidden and accumulated power in the Red Immortal Sect, but now they are very nervous as if they are facing a big enemy.

"Excuse me, Senior Yi Miaoxin, did you come here today to ask for something?" Although the Red Immortal Sect is located in a remote place, it has once been brilliant and has a deep understanding of the forces in this world. This person in front of him is definitely not an ordinary person. The extraordinary person is very likely to be the legendary "goddess" and "witch". It is by no means common for such a person to come to the Red Immortal Sect.

"As for me, I'm here to find someone." She raised her finger and shook it lightly, with a magnificent purple brilliance in her eyes, which was magical and amazing.

"However, it seems that there is no need to mention the name, because she is already here." As she spoke, her eyes turned to behind the elders, and a woman in a dark red long dress appeared slowly.

"Lord Saintess." The disciple of the faction who was spying from a distance whispered when he saw the figure.

"Which Saintess?" Someone next to him asked anxiously. There are three saints in the Red Immortal Sect, all of whom are the successors and candidates of the leader.

"It's Lord Xie Zhuyan." Finally someone recognized the woman walking towards Yi Miaoxin.

Compared with more than ten years ago, the appearance of Xie Zhuyan has not changed much, but the rough skin has become a little smoother, which may be the benefit of being promoted.

"It's you who came." Xie Zhuyan looked at this charming and alluring woman, her voice was steady, but seeing the slight knot of hands under her sleeves, she knew that she had made all kinds of preparations.

"I'm here to see you, Sister Spider Yan~" Yi Miaoxin greeted happily.

"Is there something wrong?" Xie Zhuyan breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to look at the mysterious witch.

"Hey, can't I come to you if I have nothing to do, Sister Spider Yan is so heartless." She pretended to be sobbing, even though she knew it might be a fake, but it still made others feel swayed, and she couldn't help but want to go up to comfort her.

In this regard, Xie Zhuyan was also helpless, so she had to ask the elders around her to help prepare a vacant hall to entertain the visiting witch.

As the two walked into a hall on the mountainside, the disciples who were onlookers gradually dispersed under the expulsion. In the empty hall, the two sat facing each other, and on the tea table in the middle, there was tea that lingered in white air.

"Is it okay now, sister Yi Miaoxin?" Xie Zhuyan knew that this was a witch in front of her, and she must be no younger than herself.

"Woo, Sister Spider Yan is really unfamiliar. We had a very happy chat at the end-burning banquet." The witch played coquettishly and teased her again, and then gradually got down to business.

"Sister Spider Yan, have you thought about accomplishing some great things?"

"No." Xie Zhuyan shook his head.

"Really not?" Yi Miaoxin blinked her eyes.

"Actually, I know your background."

"oh."

If it was more than ten years ago, Xie Zhuyan would have been excited and nervous, maybe even a little bit of hatred, but now it is different, she sees and wants to understand many things, and she is no longer as impulsive as before.

"ε=(ο`*))) Oh~www.readwn.com~ There is no response at all." Yi Miaoxin suddenly became distressed, feeling as if she had played all her cards and the other party had no response.

"Don't sister Spider Yan want to avenge her family?"

"Revenge? In fact, it has already been reported." Xie Zhuyan shook her head. Most of the people who participated in her father's unjust case back then were dead, and she didn't want to implicate any unrelated people.

"No, it's not over yet. For example, your father's long-cherished wish, don't you want to realize it?"

"So what if it's realized, it's just reincarnation." Xie Zhuyan didn't understand too much of the great principles in the book, but she understood that the life of the people at the bottom was like this, and it wouldn't change much with any emperor.

"No, no, it can still be changed, for example..." Yi Miaoxin approached Jie Zhuyan's cheek and whispered in her ear.

"For example, I will do my best to assist you and make you a new generation of Xuanfeng Dianji." She lightly pinched Jie Zhuyan's shoulders with both hands, and the information in her voice was so huge and impactful.
