Are you all after the heroine? I married that female devil

Shen Yian extended his spiritual sense to an area of ​​one hundred miles, but did not find any strong barbarian in the Divine Wandering Realm. It seemed that he did not come, or he was hiding.

When dealing with the Jingfan ghost, the barbarian who was in the Shenyou realm was hit hard by his sword and should still be recovering from his injuries now.

The number of powerful barbarians in the Divine Wandering Realm has always been an unknown number, which is indeed very troublesome.

Perhaps because of the previous destruction of the fleet, the barbarians changed their deployment near Liaodong. Several main legions began to retreat from the front and retreated to the vicinity of several major cities.

It seems that they know that without the support of the fleet, they cannot take Green City.

Because the range of the naval guns is enough to cover the army besieging them from the sea, it will be a one-sided massacre.

He guessed that the barbarians made this arrangement because they calculated that the old man would take the initiative to attack, and took this opportunity to let the Qian army advance deep into the hinterland of Beilin.

The battle in the city was in a stalemate with the Qian army, while the army on the west attacked the Saibei City.

Once Saibei City is in danger, the Qian Army, which has penetrated deep into the hinterland of Beilin, will be stuck in a quagmire and unable to provide timely support.

It will also leave the Liaodong region's military power depleted. As long as the Saibei City is breached, the barbarian army can advance from three directions.

By then, Tianmen Pass and Liaodong will be attacked from both sides.

The old man knew the importance of Saibei City, so he sent himself to Liaodong.

This is a risky move.

Previous speculations were based on the success of the barbarians' plan.

If the Qian army takes over the Beilin area first, the subsequent reinforcements will be able to defeat the barbarian army attacking the Saibei City.

A more interesting point is that the command of the entire Northern Expedition Army in this battle was in the hands of Gu Qing, not his second brother Shen Junyan.

Shen Junyan's 10,000 red-gold cavalry were incorporated into the vanguard army.

If nothing unexpected happens, once the Qulin City defense formation and the city gate are broken, Shen Junyan and his red-gold cavalry will take the lead and charge into the city.

It seems like he is trying to give away credit, but in fact he wants to destroy his second brother's foundation.

In wartime, it is difficult to fill gaps in the organization, and no one knows how many people will die in the future war.

As expected, the vanguard army suffered the heaviest casualties.

Shen Yian sighed inwardly, the old man was still cruel enough.

"Hidden Disaster, have you sensed any strong Barbarian Divine Wandering Realm warriors?"

Looking down at Qu Lincheng below, Shen Yian asked.

"Back to my lord, no."

Hidden Disaster shook his head.

The barbarians have undergone major changes in the past few days, and the main force seems to have withdrawn to the second line of defense.

At this moment, in Qulin City.

The Guiyin Army has already entered the City Lord's Mansion and is heading straight for the core of the city defense formation.

Outside the city, Shen Junyan and ten thousand red-gold cavalry were waiting quietly under the cover of dark clouds.

In less than half a cup of tea, the translucent shield covering the sky above Qulin City shattered like a bubble in the blink of an eye, turning into star-like points of energy that dissipated.

Shen Junyan's eyes focused, and a large sun appeared behind him, and golden flames quickly wrapped around the double-edged spear in his hand.

"Roar!"

With a roar from the red fire tiger beast under his mount, the double-edged spear shot out from Shen Junyan's hand, drawing a line of fire under the night sky, and blasted the city gate weighing thousands of pounds into pieces with one shot.

"war!!!"

Shen Junyan took the lead, riding a red fire tiger and heading straight for the city gate. Ten thousand red gold cavalry followed closely behind him. The ground was shaking under the feet of thousands of cavalrymen.

The barbarians on the city wall had already been slaughtered by the Guiyin Army, and the group of horses rushed into the city unhindered.

Among the 6,000 barbarian defenders left behind in Qulin City, a considerable number were militiamen, and some were mercenaries. There were only one or two thousand regular troops, including the old, weak and wounded. Both their combat effectiveness and will to fight were extremely low. When the Guiyin Army broke in, the barbarian soldiers began to surrender.

Those mercenaries who were working for money, seeing that the situation was not right, simply abandoned the city and fled.

All these circumstances further proved Shen Yian's guess.

The real battle is yet to come.

In Qulin City, the City Lord's Mansion.

"Your Highness! We have taken down a city in less than half an hour. Only we can do this!"

Qi Ji, deputy commander of the Red Gold Cavalry, stepped forward excitedly and said.

"This is just an abandoned city. There is nothing to show off."

Shen Junyan glared at Qi Ji unhappily.

Even though a lot of prisoners were captured, the difference between them and the main barbarian soldiers could be seen at a glance.

Moreover, apart from these defenders, there was no one in the city. All the barbarians had fled. How could this not be an abandoned city?

"Your Highness, this is true, but if we take a city first, it will greatly boost morale, won't it?"

Qi Ji smiled very optimistically.

"If I had half the mentality you have, I wouldn't be angry every day."

Shen Junyan rolled his eyes at Qi Ji and began to make arrangements afterwards.

"Your Highness, I will arrange these prisoners first. My brothers have been raiding all night. You see the city is empty. I want everyone to walk around." Qi Ji rubbed his hands, his meaning was clear.

Most of the rewards for military merits can only be received after the war, but now the barbarians are retreating in a hurry, so they will leave some things behind. The brothers will feel more at ease when they have the real things in their hands.

"military discipline."

Shen Junyan stared at Qi Ji and said only two words.

The last time they captured the city, he could turn a blind eye to what the other side did because he was the commander-in-chief and his subordinates were all his own people.

But this time it was completely different. The commander-in-chief was Gu Qing, who was the vanguard general. The former mentioned military discipline many times.

He didn't want to come into conflict with his future father-in-law over such a thing.

"I understand, Your Highness."

Qi Ji smiled awkwardly, knowing what his prince was worried about.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, it's obvious that Captain Gu has no interest in you, so why are you still insisting on doing this?

With your status as a princess, if you return to Tianwu City, all those young ladies from wealthy families will vie to become the Princess of Jin. Why would you bother to love only one woman?

In the sky.

Shen Yian heard every word of the conversation between Shen Junyan and Qi Ji.

This made him suddenly curious and he was curious about how far Shen Junyan and Gu Ruoyi had progressed.

Whenever there was any progress, he felt a little sorry for his fifth brother.

If you think about it carefully, Fifth Brother and Gu Ruoyi can't even be considered a long-distance relationship.

After all, their long-distance relationship has established a relationship. Without knowing what Gu Ruoyi feels, Fifth Brother's love for her is at most unrequited.

As time passed, the main force of the Qian Army entered Qulin City in a mighty manner. Gu Qing and Shen Junyan met in the City Lord's Mansion.

"Your Highness is very fast."

Gu Qing was also surprised that the Guiyin Army and the Vanguard Army captured Qulin City so quickly.

"Marshal Gu, you are too kind."

Shen Junyan smiled bitterly and briefly described the situation in Qu Lincheng.

It was precisely because it was an abandoned city that they were able to take it so easily.

Leaving these defenders behind to resist was most likely to test the strength of the Qian army so as to make subsequent arrangements and plans.

"I understand." Gu Qing nodded, looked at the map and frowned.

"Marshal Gu, the Guiyin Army has finished its rest. Will we continue to advance to Hedeng City as planned?"

Shen Junyan pointed at the map and asked curiously.

Hedeng City is only a hundred miles away from Qulin City and is also a small city.

If Hedeng City is also an abandoned city, it won't be difficult to capture it.

"Do not."
