I should marry the traitor

Chapter 294: Nan Po Meng De (Part )

Nanli had few horses, so the 100,000 elite Nanli troops were all infantry.

But cavalry may mean strength, but it does not mean that infantry means a weak army.

Although the Nanli Army lacked horses, they were not short of armor. In addition, the terrain in the south was complex and there were many water systems, so cavalry was not necessarily better than infantry.

The 100,000-strong Nanli army set out in a mighty force and soon arrived in southern Jing.

Faced with the aggressive Pang Xun'er, Cao Mengde and Yu Xuanji did not intend to defend the city.

When using the weak to defeat the strong, morale is extremely important. Cao Mengde and Yu Xuanji plan to first engage in a severe fight with the Nanli Army's vanguard to boost morale.

This choice is mainly based on geographical and human considerations.

On the one hand, Jingnan is connected to the Jiang River. If we occupy the river and attack it halfway across the river, we will definitely catch Pang Xun'er off guard.

On the other hand, Pang Xun'er had just become the governor of Nanli after all, and she might not be able to bring the entire Nanli army under control, so the sooner this battle was fought the better, as the sooner it was fought the more likely it would catch Pang Xun'er off guard.

Of course, Pang Xun'er is not a waste like the Origami King. She has always been good at marching and fighting.

Pang Xun'er was extremely cautious in using his troops. Even the vanguard was divided into three parts. At first, only a small number of scouts crossed the river and successfully detected Cao Mengde's ambush.

Just when Pang Xun'er was about to play with Cao Mengde, Li Changge appeared quietly with a fluctuation in the void.

"Your Majesty? What are you doing in my barracks? You don't want to tell me what to do?"

Li Changge's appearance immediately aroused Pang Xun'er's vigilance. She felt like that dog was trying to point fingers at her.

It felt terrible to be told what she was good at. If the dog emperor insisted on telling her what to do, she was ready to disobey.

It doesn’t matter if Li Changge is angry. If you have the guts, open some champagne for her!
Li Changge expected Pang Xun'er to resist, but he still showed a sly smile, stretched out his hand to hold Pang Xun'er in his arms and said:

"Oh, you guessed it right. I am here to give you some pointers."

"I want your vanguard to cross the river directly and end the battle quickly."

"Xun'er, what do you think?"

Pang Xun'er frowned, pushed Li Changge away, and said coldly:

"I don't think it's a good idea. There is a large army of Cao Mengde stationed on the other side. If we cross the river hastily, we will be attacked by the enemy halfway across. This is a taboo in military strategy."

"A general in a foreign country is not subject to orders from his majesty. I do not intend to obey your majesty's order."

"If your majesty wishes to do so, please remove my position as Jiedushi first."

"As for punishment, your majesty can do whatever he wants."

"It doesn't matter if I open the champagne or walk the dog, I don't intend to obey such stupid military orders."

Pang Xun'er has her own dignity. If such a stupid war really breaks out, it will be enough to ruin her reputation. She would rather go back and be toasted with champagne by Li Changge all night than bear such a stupid reputation.

"Xun'er, don't be angry?"

"Since I let you take such a risk, there must be a reason."

"Look who I brought to you."

Li Changge clapped his hands, and a graceful figure emerged from the void, allowing Pang Xun'er to immediately understand where Li Changge relied on. The current governor of Dongyou - Qu Yiyi.

As a hybrid of the Corpse Demon King's bloodline, Qu Yiyi is like a cheat in the war.

Even if the vanguard troops died in the water, it would not matter. The river was not turbulent, and Qu Yiyi would certainly be able to manipulate the corpses to land. Attacking them halfway across the river would be just a joke.

Pang Xun'er snorted coldly. She disdained the existence of the Corpse Demon King's bloodline, which was like a cheating device.

But with Qu Yiyi here, Li Changge's military order was not considered stupid, and was within the range that Pang Xun'er could barely accept.

So the elite advance troops quickly gathered and prepared to cross the river.

When the elite infantry troops crossed the river first and hundreds of them hurriedly passed, Cao Mengde's ambush troops indeed appeared.

Cao Mengde, who thought his plan had worked, showed a somewhat arrogant smile on his face and shouted to the Nanli army: "Where is Pang Xun'er, the governor of Nanli? Do you dare to come out and fight me?"

With the support of Sword Saint Yu Xuanji, Cao Mengde was able to challenge the enemy without restraint. This would not only prevent a top hybrid from coming to his rescue, but also allow him to test the strength of Pang Xun'er.

Although Yuan Mochu, Sun Baifu and Yu Xuanji were all quite wary of Pang Xun'er, Cao Mengde had never seen it with his own eyes, so he was still a little unconvinced.

Her bloodline is not low either, with 92% of it being Jiaozi bloodline, so she may not be afraid of the other party.

Cao Mengde opened his mouth and spit out the Seven-Star Sword, then stood with the sword on his back, waiting in the air.

With Qu Yiyi around, Pang Xun'er was not worried about the army crossing the river at all. She snorted coldly and flew out of the military camp.

It seems that her reputation is not loud enough, and all kinds of people dare to come out and cause trouble.

"You are just 92% of the garbage, and you are not worthy of shouting at me here."

"I hope your strength is as tough as your mouth."

"Otherwise, if I accidentally burn you to ashes, I'll be blamed."

Pang Xun'er looked at Cao Mengde coldly. The vast flames gathered behind her into a huge nine-headed fire python, but she did not attack directly.

She could gauge Cao Mengde's strength at a glance. His strength was even inferior to An Xinlin's. She just waited for Cao Mengde to attack.

Pang Xun'er expressed her contempt for Cao Mengde in both words and actions, but Cao Mengde did not refute.

After all, an expert can tell whether something is possible when he makes a move. Pang Xun'er has already put enormous pressure on her. The huge nine-headed fire python made her feel very dangerous even before it made a move.

But since he had already said those harsh words, how could he retreat? Cao Mengde, holding the Seven Star Sword, quickly attacked Pang Xun'er.

Ya Zi is one of the nine sons of the Silver Dragon, born to a Silver Dragon and a jackal. He is known for his bravery and aggressiveness. He has an agile body and quick movements, making him a good hand in close combat.

Cao Mengde could see that Pang Xun'er was good at manipulating fire, and her physical strength might not be that strong. It was still unknown who would win if she got close to him!
But how could Pang Xun'er give her such an opportunity? With a cold snort, a circle of high-temperature fire suddenly enveloped her, instantly repelling Cao Mengde.

At the same time, the arrogant nine-headed fire python roared out and instantly entangled with Cao Mengde.

"Damn it, even after controlling such a huge fire python, she still has the energy to control other flames."

Cao Mengde cursed in his heart while nimbly dodging the fire python's violent attack. The Seven Star Sword fiercely cut off one of its heads.

But it was of no use. The flames gathered quickly, and the head that Cao Mengde had cut off returned to its original state in the blink of an eye, making Cao Mengde sweat profusely.
