Mortal Mage

The Taihe city wall is tall and majestic.

But at this moment, the city gates on all four sides, east, west, south and north, were wide open.

Outside the city, the Tianze army, like a swarm of locusts, surrounded Taihe City tightly.

"Have you found out where the people and the army of Taihe City have gone?"

The melody has a gentle voice.

"Report to the Queen, according to the scouts, the people in Taihe City were driven out one after another seven days ago. Now they are scattered like scattered sand, and it is difficult to find any trace of them."

"The remaining Taicang soldiers have several small teams in the surrounding villages. They are also scattered everywhere like sand. But whenever they encounter our army's food and supplies, they can quickly gather together and quickly ambush and harass our army."

The captain in golden armor reported and knelt down.

"Have you ever surrounded or attacked any villages?"

"We have tried to encircle and suppress them, but if we send too many soldiers, the village will be evacuated. If we send too few soldiers, we will be surrounded and attacked by the surrounding villages. We have suffered heavy losses in recent days."

"Can't you use your brain?"

Yanyun's tone was gentle, but there was a hint of anger in her expression.

-

The captain in golden armor returned to the formation with a grim look on his face.

"The Queen is already angry. If we can't quickly wipe out the remaining Taicang troops, we will have to face her head tomorrow."

He preached to the other lieutenants.

"Captain, the tactics used by the remnant Taicang army are truly abominable. We must use strong means!"

A golden-armored adjutant responded.

"So what do you mean?"

"Send a large army to patrol each village. If you find any remnants of Taicang soldiers, punish them collectively. If there are any troublesome villages, burn them all, rob them all, and kill them all! This move will ensure that no remnant of Taicang soldiers will be left alive!"

"Your Majesty the Queen has always loved the people like her own children. I'm afraid this is inappropriate..."

The captain in golden armor looked a little hesitant.

"Her Majesty the Queen loves the people of Tianze, not the people of Taicang. Now the Queen is angry, unless you have a better solution!"

-

"Her Majesty the Queen! Long live her!"

A young eunuch knelt behind the horse's buttocks with a flattering look on his face.

"Are you the little flying boy?"

Yun held down the sword in her hand and stood proudly on her horse, gazing at the wide-open gate of Taihe City.

"Your Majesty, it is this servant, Xiao Feizi."

Xiao Feizi's voice trembled slightly.

"You said that Li Si was not killed by Zhang Mingxuan, and that Zhang Mingxuan was just a mortal. Is there any basis for this statement?"

"I saw with my own eyes that Li Si was killed by the soft sword of Crown Prince Li Jing, and Li Jing and the Imperial Masters Bu Dazhen and Ye Buwen were nowhere to be found, which allowed that villain Zhang Mingxuan to take the throne."

"Cut him down."

Yunyun said in a gentle tone, "You fool who went out of the east gate and turned west."

"Empress, everything I said is true! Empress!"

Xiao Feizi yelled with horror on his face.

"Hook!"

The knife rose and fell, and Xiao Feizi was no longer able to make any sound.

"Send two thousand cavalry to investigate whether the fire array at the city gate is real."

The rhyme spoke softly.

"Yes."

Two thousand cavalrymen from the central army immediately set out and rode quickly towards the city gate.

"boom!"

After the light cavalry entered the city gate, suddenly a fierce fire burst out from the snow at the city gate, scaring the two thousand cavalrymen to rein in their horses and retreat, but there were no casualties.

"That's it?"

Xiyun looked puzzled and tapped the sword at her waist.

A jade sword emitting green light suddenly flew out of the scabbard.

Then she turned over, jumped off the horse, and stepped onto the flying sword.

She can only display her mid-stage foundation-building strength for half a day during the cold winter every year. If she doesn't fly now, she will have to wait until next year.

When the millions of soldiers saw the sound of the flying sword, they all knelt down and sang in unison: "Long live Her Majesty the Queen!"

The speed of this flying sword seemed to be only three points faster than that of a horse, and its height was just enough to reach the city wall.

She stepped on the flying sword, looking very proud, with an expression of pride that was hard to conceal on her face.
