Dongfang Shuo was very restless and couldn't calm down at all. Runxue kissed him on the lips.

Everyone has been very busy these days, and Dongfang Shuo has been under tremendous pressure. The couple have not been so close for a long time.

Both of them were at the age of full vigor and vitality, and Dongfang Shuo immediately fell into the arms of tenderness.

After tossing and turning for half a night, both of them were "full and satisfied", and their hearts were calm. Dongfang Shuo hugged Runxue and fell into a deep sleep.

The weather cleared up the next day.

The Nanqi army was clamoring again under the city wall of Yanzhou City.

"Who among you rats dares to come out and fight me?"

"I heard that your commander this time is the Third Prince. Your Third Prince of Daqi has been hiding in Yanzhou City for two months. Is it just to be a coward?"

The whole army laughed, the laughter was piercing. The soldiers in Yanzhou City all looked livid and wished they could rush out.

Runxue had already issued a death order: "Anyone who dares to disobey orders and rush out will be killed without mercy!"

Previously, someone could not bear the enemy's shouting and wanted to rush out to kill the enemy. He was punished by military law and is still lying in bed.

Now, after hearing the shouting and cursing of the Nanqi army, the Daqi soldiers were still very angry, with veins bulging on the backs of their hands, but no one dared to disobey orders and rush out.

However, their dissatisfaction with Runxue and Dongfang Shuo grew stronger and stronger.

The Nanqi army was still shouting and cursing, looking very proud.

"Your commander is a coward. Why don't you kneel down and surrender to us? We will treat our prisoners well!"

"You have hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but they are nothing but ants. If you don't dare to come down and fight us, you will be crushed into dust by us sooner or later!"

"Warriors of Daqi, listen to me and surrender. Those who obey me will prosper, and those who disobey me will perish!"

Runxue listened to the enemy's challenge with a cold face and no change in expression.

But she noticed that the soldiers of Daqi were already very angry, both at the words of the enemy and at the inaction of her and Dongfang Shuo.

Runxue turned around and glanced at everyone's faces one by one: "Brothers, please remember what the Nanqi army said today. When you fight with me in the future, don't be merciful!"

Immediately, a soldier said, "As long as Vice General Xue allows us to fight the enemy, we will never retreat. We will not stop until we chop off their heads!"

The soldiers behind immediately echoed, their voices rising one after another, obviously they had been suppressed by Runxue for too long.

She followed Dongfang Shuo to the battlefield and told everyone in person that the Third Prince's wife was not on the battlefield, so she asked everyone to call her Deputy General Xue.

"I will lead you to fight the enemy, but not now!" Runxue glanced at the sky. Dark clouds were hovering in the distance and thunder was beginning to rumble. She said, "No more than three days!"

No one really believed it.

They thought she was a girl and would not dare to go into battle to kill the enemy, so they kept delaying the time.

The hateful thing was that Dongfang Shuo listened to her in everything. The soldiers were helpless and had to continue waiting.

It rains every other day in Yanzhou City, and the same is true for Nanqilan City which borders it.

This heavy rain lasted for two days in a row.

By the third day, the sky was still not clear, so Runxue divided the soldiers into two parts. One part, 100,000 men, would guard Yanzhou City, waiting for orders at any time; the other 20,000 men would follow her and Dongfang Shuo.

They set out at Chou time in the night. Not only was Yanzhou City quiet, but even the neighboring Lan City was quiet. Only soldiers were patrolling the entire city.

The people had fallen into a deep sleep at this time.

After Dongfang Shuo and his wife left, they did not attack Lancheng, but walked upstream along the river, still within the territory of Yanzhou City.

This river flows from top to bottom, almost running through Yanzhou City.

Long before issuing the military order, Runxue had already understood the maps of Yanzhou City and Lancheng.

After arriving in Yanzhou City, she immediately led people to rebuild dams and dig canals. There was a lot of rain in Yanzhou City in summer, and a lot of river water had already accumulated.

Now it has rained heavily for two or three days in a row. Standing halfway up the mountain and looking down, I can only see the river tumbling and roaring.

Runxue said, "These days, I have people digging new canals and building new dams to divert water to Lancheng. Your Highness, you can ask people to dig the dam now."

After a pause, she said in a stern voice: "I want to flood Lancheng with water!"

Dongfang Shuo was stunned for a moment, and blurted out subconsciously: "In addition to Nanqi's soldiers, there are hundreds of thousands of civilians in Lancheng. They are totally unprepared for this."

In the darkness of the night, Runxue looked back into Dongfang Shuo's eyes.

At this moment she became extremely sharp.

"So, Your Highness, are you going to lose the battle and crawl back to Shengjing City in disgrace? On the other hand, if you can return to Shengjing City alive after losing the battle, it will be great luck. I am afraid that if the war is lost, everyone will follow you and die here."

Dongfang Shuo immediately thought of the last time he fought in the northern border and his entire army was wiped out. He never wanted to experience that kind of despair, fear and anger again in his life.

"Follow Lieutenant General Xue's orders, dig the dam and divert water into Lancheng!" Dongfang Shuo gave an order, which was passed down layer by layer and reached the ears of every soldier.

Runxue gave the second order: "All soldiers, get ready. When the water floods Lan City, everyone will enter Lan City by boat and kill the Nanqi soldiers by surprise. Whoever takes the head of Nanqi's commander Nie He will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold!"

The dam was dug and the river water rushed down into Lancheng.

Neither the soldiers of Lancheng nor the people of the city were prepared at all. Countless people were even completely submerged by the river while they were sleeping. Many people thought they were having a nightmare and would be fine after waking up, but they ended up never waking up from such a nightmare.

Screams and wails could be heard throughout Lan City.

Nie He and his soldiers were scattered, and then caught off guard by the Daqi soldiers, and had no power to fight back.

At noon, Dongfang Shuo personally chopped off Nie He's head.

Declare that Daqi won the battle with Nanqi.

In addition to the soldiers who died in the battle, the death toll of Lancheng civilians reached more than 100,000, including men, women, young and old.

Although it was raining, the weather was hot. In less than half a day, the whole city was filled with a foul smell. No one collected the corpses, and not even a cry could be heard - the common people here basically died entire families.

Runxue said: "The people of Lancheng are indeed innocent, but think about it, if the Nanqi army breaks through our Yanzhou City of Daqi, will they treat our Daqi people well? We want to win in order to protect our people, to protect everyone here!"

Her words inspired every soldier who fought with the army.

After the rain stopped and the river dried up, they occupied Nanqi's Lancheng and gathered all the corpses together and burned them.

Runxue said: "From now on, Lancheng is our Daqi territory. This is the credit of every Daqi soldier. You are the heroes of Daqi!"

There is no soldier who doesn't want to make merit.

There is no soldier who doesn't want to be a hero.

Moreover, he was rewarded with the merit of winning the battle and being a hero in expanding the territory of Daqi, which was something no soldier could refuse.

They cheered for Runxue's words and celebrated the victory.

Runxue and Dongfang Shuo both breathed a sigh of relief. This battle finally made them feel proud!

Everything they lost on the northern battlefield last time will be taken back.

But they don't know that new threats are waiting for them.
