Chapter 32: Silver Wolf Invasion

While Wang Zhenming was thinking, suddenly bursts of loud drums came from the north. The drums were extremely rapid. The roaring sound can be heard in at least half of the floating city, and the city lord’s mansion was originally located in the north of the floating city. , The listening is particularly clear.
"What's the matter?" Wang Zhenming's original calm personality couldn't help but immediately asked outside. He had a very bad premonition in his heart that something big seemed to happen.
As soon as his words fell, a soldier rushed in from outside with an urgent look on his face. Obviously, he didn't come in after he heard Wang Zhenming's call, but rushed from a distance.
"Report..." The soldier rushed over quickly, then knelt down on one knee, and said eagerly: "Sir, the major event is not good. The Silver Wolf Nation suddenly launched a war against us, and their army is about to arrive on the other side of the Yuqing River. It's..."
"What?" Wang Zhenming was shocked, and quickly stabilized his emotions, and then asked: "How many troops do they have, who is the coach?"
"The vanguard has about 30,000 people, and the troops behind it are not known yet. The coach can't see it, but the vanguard should be Xiao Yong!" The soldier quickly replied.
Wang Zhenming's brows frowned suddenly, but he did not continue to discuss this issue! As the master of a city, and now the coach of the floating city, no matter how shocked he is, he must be calm on the surface, otherwise it would be a great blow to the morale of his soldiers!
The vanguard has 30,000, and the large army behind is estimated to be 100,000 or even two to three hundred thousand. Although the floating city is an important border town, the number of troops stationed in it will not exceed 100,000.
The difference in strength is certainly not small.
Moreover, this war came too suddenly, and it seemed that there was no warning. The Silver Wolf Kingdom and Yu Kingdom were neighboring countries, but the relationship between the two countries has always been very bad, and wars often occur.
However, in the past ten years, it has been relatively calm, and there have been more minor frictions. But this time, I don't know what the madness of the Silver Wolf Kingdom went, and it actually invaded. Judging from this posture, it will certainly not be a trivial trouble. A war of hundreds of thousands of troops has not happened for more than ten or two decades.
Wang Zhenming didn't panic, and followed the soldier quickly heading towards Beicheng. Along the way, in addition to gathering soldiers, he kept issuing orders. At this time, not only was the drum of the army's assembly sounded, but the southwestern directions had already ignited into the sky.
When the smoke of wolves ignited, some of the nearby stations would naturally follow suit. The news of the coming of war would spread in Yu Kingdom at an extremely fast speed. However, wolf smoke is only a signal of war. Other cities in Yu Kingdom, even the emperor and the emperor, do not know the specific conditions of the war.
Therefore, Wang Zhenming had already written a few letters before he came out, so that people can quickly send them to various places as soon as possible in a military mode.
Before the war officially started, the entire floating city was already operating at the fastest speed, and the walls were full of soldiers in well-dressed armor, all in a spirit of vigor. Behind them, many city defense materials have also been shipped quickly.
Rolling stones, wood, boiling oil and so on, a team of archers holding long bows, the quiver behind their shoulders full of arrows, all standing behind the battlements.
At this time, Wang Zhenming had reached the wall and looked into the distance.
In front of the North Gate of the Floating City is the Yuqing River. The water of this river is turbulent. The narrowest place has more than ten meters, and the widest one is even hundreds of meters! Therefore, when the city was built, this river was directly used as a moat.
At this moment, the army of the opposing Silver Wolf Nation was approaching Yuqinghe, and the suspension bridge had already been put away.
"Out of the city, to fight!" After taking a look, Wang Zhenming quickly made a decision, not to stick to it, but to go out of the city to fight. Soon, he gathered tens of thousands of troops, opened the city gate, and rushed out with a majestic wildebeest straddling him, and the moat was slowly lowered! His idea is very simple, that is, to frustrate the enemy's vanguard first!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
At the edge of the city lord's mansion, which is the temporary residence of the third prince, Qin Yue, he is now looking gloomy, listening to the report at hand. Just ten minutes ago, he had just received news that Qin Qi's assassination failed and everyone died.
This made him extremely angry. Since his birth, except for several small losses on the prince, no one has ever made him suffer, of course, except for his father! But this time, a few ant-like characters actually made themselves angry again and again!
Qin Yue couldn't help it anymore, and was planning to give out this nasty breath in his heart anyway, not to mention that this person is still the old love of his future wife, so he can't keep it!
But at this time, there was a violent drum sound on the North City. Of course, Qin Yue could hear what the drum sound meant, so he temporarily set aside Bai Yuzhe's affairs and asked people to inquire about the news.
Now, the person inquiring about the news has returned and is reporting to him.
"The three princes, it seems that the Silver Wolf Nation launched a war against our Yu Nation, and the movement is not small!" After the man returned, he respectfully said to Qin Yue.
"What? The Silver Wolf Nation launched a war!" Qin Yue's surprise was no small thing. War was always a big deal for the country. What's more, the Silver Wolf Nation might be worse than Yu Nation economically. But in terms of combat power, it actually surpassed Yu Guo by a lot.
Because the folk customs of the Silver Wolf Kingdom are very aggressive, you can tell from their national name. With the wolf as a totem, it is conceivable that if necessary, they can even be a soldier!
"How many troops did the other party dispatch?" Qin Yue asked again immediately after a slight daze.
"I don't know exactly how many subordinates, but the subordinates just saw that the king's face was very serious, and the situation should be more serious." The man said helplessly, military intelligence is not so easy to inquire, he is just the guard of the third prince. , But there is no right to inquire about the City Lord's Mansion in this state.
"Notify Qin Da, Qin Wu, and go to Beicheng with me!" After thinking about it, Qin Yue immediately made a decision, and Bai Yuzhe's matter was temporarily left behind by him.
He hates Bai Yuzhe any more, in fact, it is just unhappy in his heart. It is not a deep hatred, and personal hatred, compared with the military affairs, can only be put behind.
Although Qin Yue is cruel, his ability is indeed not weak, otherwise he would not become one of the most powerful competitors for the throne. Of course, he ignores Bai Yuzhe now, but once the matters here are handled, he will definitely not let Bai Yuzhe go.
Soon, Qin Yue rushed to the northern city wall with a few of his own guards. Many high-level officials in the City Lord's Mansion knew him, so there would be no misunderstanding.
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
Bai Yuzhe and the others had already arrived at Danxiang Pavilion at this moment. Wu Cang was a little surprised when he saw so many people coming over, but soon became excited. He was happy to help them arrange a place to live, and then set up a feast to entertain them.
What can Bai Yuzhe bring his own people here to prove? It proves that he trusts himself more and more! Wu Cang is definitely a smart person, although Bai Yuzhe told him last time that the second-rank alchemist is his limit, and it is basically impossible to reach the third-rank.
But Wu Cang knew better that he was also a second-rank alchemist, but his abilities could still be divided into many levels. He wants to let himself go further on the road of alchemy, and that Bai Yuzhe is definitely his guide!
At the banquet, Bai Yuzhe, Luo Ming, Xiaohe and other eighteen people were all present. Wu Cang arranged a long assembly line table, one row past, hundreds of people could sit down, and there was a sumptuous banquet in front of everyone.
However, there were only three members of Wu Cang's family in Danxiang Pavilion, as well as a few of his henchmen, for a total of six people. Wu Cang's wife is also the kind of gentle and virtuous type.
At the banquet, everyone pushed their cups and changed them, which was very lively. At first, Luo Ming and the others couldn't let go. After all, Danxiang Pavilion was absolutely superior to them before, and the reputation in the floating city was not even lower than that of the lord Wang Zhenmin.
But it didn't take long for them to let go. Wu Cang didn't have the slightest arrogance in front of Bai Yuzhe, and even seemed very humble and respectful. And he could also see that although these eighteen people were not well dressed, Bai Yuzhe seemed to value them very much.
Bai Yuzhe and the others did not know about the war that the Silver Wolf Nation launched against the Floating City, because Golan Street and Danxiang Pavilion were both in the direction of the south of the Floating City. No matter how loud the battle drums were, they would not be able to hear the news. , But it hasn't reached their ears yet.
"Brother Bai, you come here this time, but you have to stay in our Danxiang Pavilion for a little longer time!" Wu Wenxuan was sitting opposite Bai Yuzhe, picked up the wine glass and touched Bai Yuzhe, smiling.
The arrival of Bai Yuzhe made her very happy. She drank fruit wine, but it was still alcoholic. After a few glasses of wine, she looked less young and more charming, her face His skin was white and red, and it seemed to be more beautiful than before.
Bai Yuzhe smiled slightly, took a sip of wine, and said, "I haven't decided how long to live. It may take a few days or it may take a month."
"That's great, come on, let's do this cup!" Wu Wenxuan said excitedly. Bai Yuzhe had been here several times before, but all came and went in a hurry. He left as soon as he finished practicing alchemy. Of course she was happy after so long.
"Pavilion Master Wu, if I come this time, it may cause you trouble. You have to figure out if you want me to stay for a few days." Bai Yuzhe nodded slightly to Wu Wenxuan, then turned to Wu Cang and said .
