Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 294

The north of Jing river was a continuous mountain. Although the mountain was not high, many trees covered it, which was good for hiding. There were lots of arrows shot from the other side toward the army of the state of Xia on the bridge. They was deadly injured for a while.

Xia Houyan stated coldly, "all of you, continue to cross the river. There are six hundred and fifty thousand soldiers in my army. I don't believe that he will not shoot at all of them. After we cross the river, I will burn mountains with fire and make it impossible for them to escape even if they had wings to fly!"

However, after they went into the river, the Xia army did lose a lot of people. The original troops of six hundred and fifty thousand people was cut down by nearly one hundred thousand. Liu Yinfeng reckoned that the reserve of arrows in the army was not too much, so the defense of the troops might be running out.

It was impossible for Xia Houyan to launched the fire he wanted. As the forest was wet, it was hard to get a hot flame. He could force the enemy to come out through the thick smoke. But they was not skillful enough. If he set fire on the mountain and it backfired, he would be in great danger.

"Then what should we do? Just wait here?" Xia Houyan became a little irritable. He hurriedly went to the Jingyang City, but he had not slept for two nights. He had thought that there were two hundred and fifty thousand soldiers outside of the Jingyang City, and together with his four hundred thousand people, he would be able to annihilate the Ning's army before the reinforcements came. However, when he arrived at the Jingyang city, one and another situation took place.

First, lady Jing used some means to drown a hundred thousand soldiers in the Jing River, which not only caused the pool to be watered for a long time, but also gave Prince Jing a way out. Then Prince Jing set fire to the Jingyang City, and now the fire in Jingyang city had not been extinguished, he was afraid that after the fire is burnt out, nothing is left. There was another thing, Lord Hua Guo who was watching them in the camp. He would have tied the old chief and his men to keep an eye on him in case that he would cause a riot if he didn't know Lord Hua Guo was so prestigious in the army.

Liu Yinfeng lapsed into silence for a while, and then walked back and forth in the camp he had temporarily built. He finally said, "we have a solution. The Jingyang city was destroyed, and all the people in it must have been placed by Prince Jing. If we can find out the place where the people in it have been placed, we can take the common people as hostage."

"We are just waiting for someone to find them? What if we can't find them? "

"It's easy to find them. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the Jingyang City, and the targets are not small. They are not as ordinary as soldiers, and there are all old, weak women and children. They won't walk too fast. It must be near, and it should be easy to find them. Besides, I have just looked carefully around. There are no other rivers and lakes beside the Jingyang city. And the people in the city are usually fetched from well and water. Now we are near the riverside and there are so many people waiting for water. We have our men to protect the river and cut off their water. We'll see how long they can hold on. " Liu Yinfeng smiled blandly, but his smile was a little bit cold.

Xia Houyan laughed when he heard his words. "Ha ha, I've forgotten about it. Well, water is a must for everyone. I'd like to see how long he can hold on."

At this time, Yun Shang was close to the Jingyang city with her army, as she did not know what was going on in the Jingyang city, so she ordered to encampment not far from it. On the one hand, she could send her secret guards to inquire about the situation of Prince Jing. On the other hand, she could wait for the reinforcements behind.
