Chapter 496 Doubt About Life

Ning Chen glanced at the fourth prince, "Why don't you charge?"

The fourth prince suddenly woke up.

"All soldiers, follow me!"

The fourth prince took the lead and rushed into the city.

Five thousand troops rushed to Linxuan City like a torrent.

In the city, gunshots rang out!

This was Ning Chen's order, and he used muskets directly after entering the city.

You should know that each soldier of the Ning'an Army is equipped with not only muskets, but also grenades, compound bows, and even magic weapons such as rebar.

As Ning Chen's personal army, they naturally cannot embarrass Ning Chen.

They were unstoppable all the way.

The Xiliang soldiers thought Che Mingzhe was killed in the explosion, and they were leaderless and in chaos.

They met the Ning'an Army, a strong and brave general.

As soon as they met, they were beaten into pieces.

The key is that the Ning'an Army did not have martial ethics. They used muskets first when they met, and threw grenades directly when they got close, and then used compound bows...If it really didn't work, they would be willing to fight hand to hand.

The rebars in their hands are peerless magic weapons, which can destroy people and kill people.

The heavy armored cavalry is the elite of Xiliang.

As a result, they met the Ning'an Army, and grenades flew everywhere, blowing people and horses to the ground... Then the Ning'an Army rushed up and used rebars.

Their heavy armor could not withstand the rebars.

The Xiliang army threw away their armor and retreated step by step!

The Fifth Prince's people could only follow the Ning'an Army to pick up the leaks, with envy on their faces... Look at their equipment, then look at their own, they can't compare, they can't compare at all.

The Xiliang army was in a mess and retreated madly to the west gate.

The Ning'an Army pursued them relentlessly.

The battle lasted until the second half of the night before it gradually stopped.

The Xiliang army left the people and ran away.

In this battle, the Xiliang army lost more than 10,000 soldiers and captured more than 3,000 people, and the rest ran away.

The most important thing to capture a city is money and women.

But Ning Chen ordered that women must not be raped, and those who violated the order would be executed!

No one dared to challenge Ning Chen's prestige, not even the Fourth Prince.

If women cannot be raped, then the only way is to extort money.

The Ning'an Army occupied the City Lord's Mansion.

Ning Chen temporarily rested in the City Lord's Mansion.

Cleaning the battlefield, burying corpses, extorting money and other hard work were all done by the Fourth Prince's men.

Ning Chen ordered that the Ning'an Army take the time to rest.

The Fourth Prince hurried over, his face full of excitement, and he told Ning Chen that Che Mingzhe was captured.

"Che Mingzhe?" Ning Chen was slightly startled, "Didn't the Xiliang soldiers say he was dead?"

The Fourth Prince said excitedly: "He's not dead, he just fainted... A soldier woke up from the pain when he cut his ear."

"I didn't expect that Che Mingzhe was captured without any effort. He is a famous general in Xiliang."

Ning Chen's mouth twitched.

He remembered that when he fought the Grand Tutor, he and the Grand Tutor fell from the city wall and fainted, and his ears were almost cut off by his own people.

Che Mingzhe was also doubting his life at this moment.

He had been a soldier all his life and had experienced countless wars, big and small.

But this time, he would remember it for the rest of his life.

He just fainted for a while, and when he woke up, the army was defeated and the city was broken, and he himself was not captured.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Ning Chen looked at the Fourth Prince and said, "Let someone transport all the valuables back to Xiguan City. Keep an eye on Che Mingzhe and those captives. They are very useful."

"Also, there are 20,000 soldiers in the city who are busy enough... The rest of the soldiers, take the time to rest, and follow me to the next city tomorrow morning."

The Fourth Prince was stunned.

"We have just captured Linxuan City, and the soldiers are exhausted... How about resting for a few days before leaving?"

Ning Chen said expressionlessly: "This is a military order, and those who disobey the order will be executed!"

The Fourth Prince's face changed.

"Ning Chen, you attacked the city for the Immaculate Ice Lotus, right?"

Ning Chen nodded slightly, "That's right! Didn't Xiliang say that if you want the Immaculate Ice Lotus, you need to exchange it with two cities, 10 million taels of silver, 10,000 war horses, etc.?"

"Then I will use their cities to exchange their Immaculate Ice Lotus."

The fourth prince asked curiously: "I know that the Immaculate Ice Lotus is used to treat diseases. Who needs it? My father ordered me to negotiate with Xiliang. This person should be very important... Could it be that you are sick?"

Ning Chen's mouth twitched, thinking that it was not me who was sick, but your father.

Of course, he didn't say it clearly.

Because the sons of Emperor Xuan, it's hard to say anything else, but they are all professional actors.

He thought the deposed prince was a good person, but he was in the same group with the left prime minister and the queen.

He thought the foolish and stupid fifth prince was a good person after all, right? But this grandson was more sinister than anyone else.

Someone leaked the fact that Emperor Xuan needed the Immaculate Ice Lotus to the Xiliang royal family.

Who is this person? Ning Chen had no clues yet.

So, before he got the Immaculate Ice Lotus, he didn't dare to trust the Fourth Prince.

This was something that saved Emperor Xuan's life.

Ning Chen looked at the Fourth Prince and said, "He is indeed a very important person... So, I must get the Immaculate Ice Lotus within a month."

"Okay, let the army rest quickly and set off early tomorrow morning."

After the Fourth Prince left, Yuan Long and Lei An came.

"Your Highness, we don't have enough supplies... Especially the explosive packs, the grenades are almost exhausted, and there are few shells left."

Lei An leaned over and said.

Because before the siege, Ning Chen gave a death order to capture Linxuan City at all costs.

So, the consumption was very high.

Ning Chen nodded slightly.

Because it was too important to capture Linxuan City, we must do our best.

He had already thought about the serious consumption of supplies.

But it was all worth it. Only when Daxuan Linxuan City came, he would be qualified to negotiate with the Xiliang royal family.

"Take all the remaining tomorrow!"

"Also, take Che Mingzhe and those captives with you."

Yuan Long and Lei An said in unison: "I obey your orders!"

"Okay, go back and rest! Regain your energy. We don't have many firearms left. The next battle will be tough."

After Yuan Long and Lei An left, Ning Chen fell asleep.

......

The next day, early in the morning!

Ning Chen led the Ning'an Army, plus the 30,000 troops of the fourth prince.

Leave 20,000 troops to guard the city, search for money, and transport all the valuables back.

March all the way.

Five days later, they arrived at Amaterasu City in Xiliang.

Ning Chen ordered to station ten miles away from Amaterasu City.

After resting for two hours, Ning Chen ordered the army to continue moving forward.

All the way to Amaterasu City.

On the city wall, the soldiers of Xiliang looked at the dark army of Daxuan with nervous faces.

Because the people who escaped told them that the people of Daxuan could fly, and they also had all kinds of terrible weapons, which were as loud as thunder and could blow up a large area.

Amaterasu City originally had 30,000 garrisons.

Adding the more than 50,000 people who escaped, Amaterasu City now has 80,000 troops.

Although the number is twice that of Daxuan.

But those powerful firearms left a deep psychological shadow on the Xiliang soldiers who escaped.

Ning Chen stopped.

He turned his head and looked at the fourth prince, "Who is the highest general of Amaterasu City?"

The fourth prince shook his head, "I don't know!"

He had never fought here before, and he didn't know who the highest general of Amaterasu City was?

Ning Chen frowned, and then said in a deep voice: "Yuan Long, bring Che Mingzhe and those captives here."

"Yes!"

Yuan Long led people and brought Che Mingzhe and those captives here.

Ning Chen looked at Che Mingzhe and said calmly: "General Che, please tell them to open the city gates... Otherwise, you will all die."
