"Your Highness, please be more composed. Someone who can serve as the heir apparent's strategist must have their own ideas. Bai Zizai is there too, isn't he?"

Wang Ziwen offered some words of advice.

Although he didn't know why Jia Xu made this arrangement, there must have been a reason for it; otherwise, there would be no reason to give up such a good opportunity.

This infuriated Lin Rusong, who jumped up and down in anger, shouting, "What kind of ridiculous idea is this? I feel like this kid is a complete idiot! They've already set up their formation, and they're trying to attack when the enemy isn't paying attention?!"

"What are you waiting for? Waiting for the babies to be born!"

It's so inconsiderate of them to waste such a good opportunity.

Yi Yun, watching the Northern Liang Guard jumping around, chuckled dryly, "Your Highness, the strategist has considerable prestige in Xiliang. He led both Ziwu Valley and the current South Mountain Commandery, so he certainly won't act recklessly."

Hearing this, the two were immediately relieved. If they could conquer such an incredible place as the Ziwu Road, there was no reason why they couldn't conquer a small Jushi Kingdom.

"That's right, didn't a group of White Horse Volunteers disappear earlier? Maybe it's related to them!" Lin Rusong's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly thought of the group of White Horse Volunteers disappeared into the night earlier. It seems that Jia Xu was prepared all along.

Wang Ziwen shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "This army should be heading towards the Shachi Kingdom. Judging from its size, it has at least 20,000 men. Now that Shachi Kingdom's reinforcements have arrived in the Jushi Kingdom, Shachi Kingdom is probably in grave danger."

Holy crap!

Lin Rusong reacted instantly, exclaiming, "This Jia Xu is incredibly audacious! He wants to destroy a country with only 20,000 men?"

This is absolutely insane!

Although the army of the Shachi Kingdom is not large, they can't be treated so inhumanely. Destroying a country with only 20,000 men is somewhat risky, and this siege is a major problem.

"There might still be a chance. Shachi Kingdom has come to the aid of the Jushi Kingdom, leaving its interior vulnerable. If an elite cavalry force can storm into the Shachi Kingdom, the enemy will have absolutely no power to resist. The only problem is the city walls!"

"However, Jia Xu must have been extremely confident to do this; otherwise, he would only be diverting his own troops."

Wang Ziwen said in a deep voice.

"What kind of confidence is so incredible?"

Lin Rusong couldn't help but frown. He couldn't hold back any longer and said in a deep voice, "I fucking can't hold back anymore. I'm going down to check the situation. This is far too risky!"

Anyway, he couldn't hide his arrival from Jia Xu, as he had already encountered spies from Xiliang, so his whereabouts were exposed.

Instead of worrying here, you should just go and ask them directly.

"That's true!"

Wang Ziwen slapped her forehead, suddenly realizing what she meant.

yes!

We're on the same side, why are we making such sneaky guesses? We'll just go and ask them directly!

"Walk!"

In front of the royal city!

A large banner of the Xiliang Army fluttered in the wind. Jia Xu and others sat cross-legged under the banner, pointing and discussing the area around the city walls. The strategic layout was complete, and the catapults and siege crossbows were in place.

Everything is ready, except for the final push!

Bai Zizai gazed at the royal city ahead and said in a deep voice, "Strategist, we wasted the opportunity for a sneak attack earlier. If this continues, attacking the city walls will become even more difficult!"

Once the enemy is ready, the attack will be much more difficult.

"It's alright, it's just the Jushi Kingdom, whether it's a sneak attack or not is unimportant!" Jia Xu smiled slightly and explained.

Bai Zizai frowned slightly, but still chose to trust the strategist.

He thought of the 20,000 White Horse Volunteers who had left the previous night and asked in a deep voice, "Strategist, where did Yan Gang go?"

" Shachi Kingdom!" Jia Xu glanced at him and said meaningfully.

Hiss!

Bai Zizai couldn't help but gasp. The strategist was acting inhumanly, planning to use just two White Horse Volunteers destroy a country!

He couldn't help but frown and ask, "Strategist, do you think 20,000 White Horse Volunteers can destroy the Shachi Kingdom?"

"Can!"

Jia Xu didn't give a perfunctory answer; he directly provided the response.

Bai Zizai stared into Jia Xu's eyes for a long time before finally nodding and choosing to believe Jia Xu. If the Shachi Kingdom were truly destroyed, the Jushi Kingdom would be unable to withstand the attack alone, and its destruction would be easy.

However, there is still one issue that needs to be clarified.

He said in a deep voice, "Strategist, as the main force in this great battle, isn't it my turn to take the stage this time?" The battle is almost over, and if it's not my turn yet, then this trip will have been in vain.

"Certainly!"

Jia Xu nodded naturally and smiled, " Old General Bai, as the veteran commander of Northern Liang and a key general valued by our lord, naturally needs to Qiankun this battle. It all depends on your Asura Army!"

"Hahaha, who else but me!"

Old Master Bai was overjoyed and couldn't help but pat his chest. "Now it's finally my turn! This time, I'll show these barbarians what Asura Army is all about!"

When the Asura march, not a blade of grass will remain!

"But..."

At this moment, Jia Xu spoke, but he seemed hesitant to say anything.

"But what? The strategist isn't going to back out, is he?" Bai Zizai's heart skipped a beat. Was the strategist going to change his mind again?

"Of course not. What I mean is that before you attack, the Vanguard Dare-to-Die Warriors will take the city walls first. Their shields can reduce losses. After all, they are a professional siege force. I hope the old general understands!"

Jia Xu said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Bai Zizai nodded slightly. Bai Zizai highly respected and admired the Vanguard Dare-to-Die Warriors; they were an army that risked their lives, unlike any other army.

"First to scale, first to scale" means to be the first to climb the enemy's city walls!

They possess powerful crossbows and shields, allowing them to easily approach enemy walls. The formidable crossbow formations can keep the enemy pinned down, while the shield bearers protect their own archers and crossbowmen.

Let them go first, no problem!

Seeing that he agreed, Jia Xu looked in the direction of the Shachi Kingdom and muttered, " Shachi Kingdom is just an empty shell; Yan Gang can take it down easily. It seems I need to inform the lord to send someone to guard these two countries."

The situation in the Shachi Kingdom is far worse than in the Jushi Kingdom!

"Kill!"

Before dawn, Yan Gang had already made his move, and 20,000 White Horse Volunteers hesitation.

"Damn it, enemy attack!"

By the time the Shachi Kingdom guards on the perimeter reacted, it was too late!

The White Horse Volunteers lies in speed.

That was incredible speed; in an instant, it was right in front of them. The gleaming scimitar sliced through, and blood gushed out.

Yan Gang looked at the corpses scattered on the ground and couldn't help but sneer, "With such meager strength, you dare to provoke our lord? What gives you the audacity to commit such a heaven-defying act!"

A tiny country like this dares to try and shake a giant tree, utterly ignorant of its own mortality.

kill!

At a command, the army marched straight towards the nearest main city of the Shachi Kingdom.

The 20,000 white horse cavalrymen were particularly conspicuous in the early morning, but in the eyes of the soldiers of the Shachi Kingdom at this moment, they were like white demons, making them tremble with fear and unable to control themselves.

Such a commotion, made without any attempt at concealment, quickly alerted Shachi Kingdom to the unusual situation.
