Chapter 32 Silver Wolf Kingdom Invasion

While Wang Zhenmin was thinking, suddenly bursts of loud drumming came from the north. The drumming was extremely rapid. The roaring sound could be heard in at least half of the floating city, and the city lord's palace was originally located in the north of the floating city. , heard especially clearly.

"What's going on?" Wang Zhenmin, who was originally calm, couldn't help shouting outside at this moment. He had an extremely bad premonition in his heart, as if something big was about to happen.

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier rushed in from outside. His face was full of urgency. It was obvious that he did not come in after hearing Wang Zhenmin's shouts and questions, but rushed in from a distance.

"Report..." The soldier rushed over quickly, then knelt down on one knee and said eagerly: "Lord City Lord, something bad has happened. The Silver Wolf Kingdom suddenly launched a war against us, and their army is about to arrive on the other side of the Yuqing River. Already..."

"What?" Wang Zhenmin was shocked, quickly calmed down, and then asked: "How many troops do they have in total, and who is the leader?"

"There are about 30,000 people in the vanguard army. We still don't know the troops behind us. The coach can't tell, but the vanguard general should be Xiao Yong!" the soldier replied quickly.

Wang Zhenmin's brows suddenly furrowed even deeper, but he did not continue to discuss this issue! As the lord of a city, and now also the coach of Floating City, no matter how shocked he is in his heart, he must be calm on the surface, otherwise it will be a huge blow to the morale of his own soldiers!

The vanguard army only has 30,000 people, and the large force behind it is estimated to cost 100,000 or even 20,000 to 300,000 people. Although Floating City is an important border town, it does not have more than 100,000 troops stationed all year round.

The difference in strength is certainly not small.

Moreover, this war came too suddenly, as if there was no warning. Silver Wolf Country and Yu Country are neighboring countries, but the relationship between the two countries has always been very bad, and wars often happen.

However, in the past ten years or so, things have been relatively peaceful, with just a few minor frictions. But this time, I don’t know what went crazy with the Silver Wolf Kingdom, and they actually invaded on a large scale. Looking at this posture, it is definitely not a small fight. A war involving hundreds of thousands of troops has not happened for more than ten or twenty years.

Wang Zhenmin did not panic, and quickly headed towards Beicheng along with the soldier. Along the way, in addition to gathering the soldiers, he continued to issue orders one after another. At this time, not only were the war drums beating for the army to gather, but wolf smoke was already burning in the southwest directions.

When the wolf smoke is ignited, some nearby stations will naturally follow suit when they see it. News of the coming war will spread throughout the Yu Kingdom at an extremely fast speed. However, the smoke was only a signal for war. Other cities in Yu State, and even the emperors and ministers of the empire, did not know the specific situation of the war.

Therefore, Wang Zhenmin had already written several letters before he came out, and had people rush to send them to various places as quickly as possible in the form of military intelligence.

Before the war officially started, the entire floating city was already operating at the fastest speed. The city walls were already filled with soldiers in uniform and in high spirits. Behind them, a lot of city defense supplies had been quickly transported.

Rolling stones, wood, boiling oil and other things, groups of archers holding long bows, quivers behind their shoulders filled with arrows, all stood behind the battlements.

At this time, Wang Zhenmin had reached the city wall and looked into the distance.

In front of the north gate of Floating City is the Yuqing River. The river is very fast. The narrowest part is more than ten meters wide, and the widest part is even hundreds of meters! Therefore, when the city was first built, this river was directly used as a moat.

At this moment, the opposing Silver Wolf Nation's army was approaching the Yuqing River, and the suspension bridge had already been closed.

"Go out of the city and fight!" After taking a look, Wang Zhenmin quickly made a decision. Instead of holding on, he went out of the city to fight. Soon, he gathered tens of thousands of troops, opened the city gate, rushed out with a majestic wildebeest under him, and the moat was slowly lowered! His idea is very simple, that is to first dampen the spirit of the opponent's vanguard!

…

Next to the city lord's palace, where the third prince Qin Yue temporarily resides, he is listening to the report of his subordinates with a gloomy face. Just about ten minutes ago, he had just received news that Qin Qi's assassination failed and everyone died.

This made him extremely angry. Since he was born, except for a few small losses from the prince, no one has ever made him suffer, except of course his father! But this time, several ant-like figures actually made me angry again and again!

Qin Yue couldn't bear it any longer and was planning to vent the bad breath in his heart no matter what. What's more, this person was his future wife's old love, so he couldn't keep her!

But at this time, fierce drumming sounded on the north city. Of course Qin Yue could hear what the drumming meant, so he put Bai Yuzhe's matter aside for the time being and asked people to inquire about the news.

Now, the person who inquired about the information is back and reporting to him.

"Third Prince, it seems that the Silver Wolf Kingdom has launched a war against our Yu Kingdom, and there is a lot of noise!" After the man came back, he said respectfully to Qin Yue.

"What? The Silver Wolf Kingdom launched a war!" Qin Yue's surprise was no small matter. War is always a big deal for the country. What's more, the Silver Wolf Kingdom may be economically worse than the Yu Kingdom. But in terms of combat power, it actually surpassed Yu State by a lot.

Because the folk customs of the Silver Wolf Country are very fierce, which can be seen from their founding name. With the wolf as a totem, it is conceivable that if necessary, they can even mobilize all the people!

"How many troops did the other side send out?" After being stunned for a moment, Qin Yue immediately asked again.

"I don't know exactly how many subordinates there are, but I just saw that the face of King City Master was very solemn. The situation should be more serious." The man said a little helplessly. Military information is not so easy to find out. He is just the bodyguard of the third prince. , but he has no right to inquire about anything from the City Lord's Mansion in this state.

"Inform Qin Da, Qin Wu, come with me to Beicheng!" After thinking about it, Qin Yue immediately made a decision, and Bai Yuzhe's matter was temporarily forgotten by him.

No matter how much he hates Bai Yuzhe, it's actually just because he feels unhappy. It's not a deep hatred, and personal hatred can only be put aside compared with military and national affairs.

Although Qin Yue was ruthless, his ability was indeed not weak, otherwise he would not have become one of the most powerful contenders for the throne. Of course, he will ignore Bai Yuzhe now, but once the matter here is settled, he will definitely not let Bai Yuzhe go.

Soon, Qin Yue rushed to the North City Wall with several of his personal guards. Many senior officials in the City Lord's Mansion knew him, so there would be no misunderstanding.

…

Bai Yuzhe and others had already arrived at Danxiang Pavilion. Wu Cang was a little surprised at first when he saw him bringing so many people, but soon turned into excitement. He happily helped them arrange accommodation, and then held a banquet to entertain them.

What can Bai Yuzhe prove by bringing his own people here? It proves that he trusts himself more and more! Wu Cang is definitely a smart person, although Bai Yuzhe told him last time that the second-level alchemy master is his limit, and it is basically impossible to reach the third-level alchemy master.

But Wu Cang understands better that even a second-grade alchemist may have many levels of power. He wants to go further on the road of alchemy, and Bai Yuzhe is definitely his guide!

At the banquet, Bai Yuzhe, Luo Ming, Xiao He and other eighteen people were present. Wu Cang arranged a long assembly line table. Hundreds of people could sit in a row, and everyone had a sumptuous banquet in front of them.

As for the people in Danxiang Pavilion, there are only three members of Wu Cang's family and a few of his confidants, a total of six people. Wu Cang's wife is also the gentle and virtuous type.

At the banquet, everyone exchanged glasses and it was very lively. At first, Luo Ming and the others were a little reluctant to let go. After all, Danxiang Pavilion was definitely superior to them in the past, and its reputation in Floating City was not even lower than that of the city lord Wang Zhenmin.

But not long after, they completely let go. Wu Cang showed no airs in front of Bai Yuzhe, and even looked very humble and respectful. And he could also see that although these eighteen people were not well dressed, Bai Yuzhe seemed to value them very much.

Bai Yuzhe and the others still don't know about the war launched by the Silver Wolf Kingdom against Fucheng, because Goulan Street and Danxiang Pavilion are both in the south direction of Fucheng. No matter how loud the sound of the war drums beating the sky is, they can't hear it. Although the news is not slow in passing, , but it hasn’t reached their ears yet.

"Brother Bai, you come here this time, but you have to stay in our Danxiang Pavilion for a longer time!" Wu Wenxuan sat opposite Bai Yuzhe, picked up the wine glass and touched it with Bai Yuzhe, and said with a smile.

Bai Yuzhe's arrival made her very happy. She drank fruit wine, but it was still alcoholic. After a few glasses of wine, she looked less girlish and more charming. Her face Her skin was white and red, and she seemed more beautiful than before.

Bai Yuzhe smiled slightly, took a sip of wine, and said, "We haven't decided yet how long we will stay. It may take a few days, or it may take a few months."

"That's great, come on, let's have a drink!" Wu Wenxuan said excitedly. The few times Bai Yuzhe came here before, he came and went in a hurry. He left immediately after refining the elixir. This time he wants to stay Of course she was happy after such a long time.

"Pavilion Master Wu, my visit this time may cause you trouble. You have to think clearly whether you want me to stay for a few days." Bai Yuzhe nodded slightly to Wu Wenxuan, then turned to Wu Cang and said .
