personally took Liyan to meet several senior figures in the industry.Zhao Fengxu brought Zhao Ziting to the banquet hall as well. Little Zhao Ziting, now a young boy, wore a well-fitting suit and loo...Feng Mingjiang used this move to firmly hold three cities in his grasp, and he also took the opportunity of settling military households to thoroughly clean up the three occupied cities.

Anyone with suspicion was detained by her, making it easier to control them and prevent information from leaving the city. Even birds that flew out of the city were shot down.

Afterward, General Fengming received an imperial decree from the Empress, urging her to swiftly capture the remaining two cities according to the original plan. Based on the previously established goal, five cities were to be integrated into the defenses of Phoenix Nest Kingdom.

This time, along with the Feihua transmission, there is also a new type of weapon, black oil bombs and catapults.

This black, oil-like substance was discovered by accident during a well-digging project in a village in Fengming. The surveyor measured the location and instructed the villagers to dig a well there. What they found was a black, oil-like substance. At first, the villagers thought it could be edible, but almost lost their lives trying to eat it. Later, they discovered that this black oil was highly flammable and burned for an exceptionally long time. After burning, it produced thick black smoke that was extremely irritating to the eyes.

Locals believed this to be natural kerosene and reported it to the local authorities. The authorities sent experts to investigate and reported their findings up the chain of command until they reached the empress. At a glance, she recognized that this was untreated crude oil, which still possessed a certain degree of lethality.

She then ordered the Minister of Works to have oil jars made and corresponding siege engines, in order to take the remaining two cities as quickly as possible.

Feng Ming General was the first to receive the empress's letter, followed by the urgent message from the crown princess. She immediately adjusted her strategy, changing her usual defensive-based tactics. When the Panlong Nation's army attacked, she organized her troops to counterattack head-on.

That night, after the battle ended, General Fengming assembled his most trusted generals. At dawn, when people are at their weakest, they launched a surprise attack on the fourth city.

Because of the oil drums and the addition of trebuchets, General Fenming launched a wave of oil drum attacks first. They covered a large area, scattering the defending soldiers. Then, when the enemy was in disarray, they took advantage of the situation to attack the city.

Of course, this couldn't have been done without the cooperation of insiders. They took advantage of the chaos among the defenders of Longxi City and, when the city guard was short-handed, directly eliminated the soldiers guarding the gate. They opened the city gates, allowing Phoenix Nest's army commander to charge straight in and seize the initiative.

Of course, the female warriors of Phoenix Nest Nation also paid a certain price, with thousands killed. The few insiders who opened the city gate were also hacked to death by the Panlong Nation soldiers who had reacted in time. However, General Phoenix Cry still ended the battle before the reinforcements from Panlong Nation arrived.

A throng of soldiers from the Panlong Nation galloped to provide reinforcements. When their army arrived at the fourth city that had been raided, they only saw the gates slowly closing, as if mocking them for being too late.

"MD, you're late!"

"General, what do we do now Attack or not"

"Didn't you see that the enemy has already taken the city We arrived too late. Going up there now is a death sentence!"

The general on horseback said with a grim expression.

After all, the other side had also experienced a major battle, and the battlefield in front of the city hadn't even been cleaned up.

But if we do nothing, the Emperor will blame us.

"Hmph! That little punk emperor, not even fully grown, dares to send his own brother to kill the Empress of Fenqi Country. Since he dared to do it, he shouldn't be caught. Now that he's been caught by that old woman from Fenqi Country, there's no way she would swallow this!"

"General, be careful with your words!"

"You, you, and you, be the vanguard. Take a team to try and breach the city walls. If there's a breakthrough, send a message, and I'll bring the main force to reinforce. If not, retreat as quickly as possible."

Then we'll say we received the distress message too late, that Longxi City had already been occupied, and no one cooperated with our main army, so we couldn't regain control of Longxi City.

The three men named paled, they were obviously cannon fodder sent to scout ahead. Unfortunately, military orders couldn't be disobeyed, so they could only lead their troops stealthily forward, searching for the best opportunity to attack.

This time, the female generals on the city walls of Longxi City had just experienced a major battle and also had to control the people within the city so they wouldn't cause chaos. Therefore, Fengming decided not to engage in battle, only to defend the city. However, she didn't want to give these reinforcements an easy win, and she definitely had to leave them with a deep impression.

Therefore, when the enemy crept up stealthily, they feigned ignorance of the thousand-strong vanguard, waiting until the enemy was within range. Then, Feng Ming immediately ordered the trebuchets to adjust their angle, this time launching oil wrapped in waterproof cloth.

The rain cloth still had holes, and the slingshot's parabolic trajectory perfectly released all the oil. It splashed onto the Panlong Kingdom soldiers marching forward, finally crashing into the most densely packed area of the troops.

"What is this"

"Black, and there's a strange smell! Is this their droppings"

"I feel something is wrong."

A harmless raincloth fell among them, which greatly surprised the soldiers of Panlong Kingdom. However, before they could figure out what was going on, countless flaming arrows rained down upon them.

In the next instant, the oil was ignited, turning into a sea of fire, resembling an inferno on earth. The soldiers of Panlong Nation rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies, but they only smeared more black oil onto themselves, increasing the area burning.

The screams of the soldiers from Panlong Nation made both sides shudder.

Feng Ming, the general, frowned slightly, looking down at the battlefield. He directly ordered his lieutenant beside him:

"Give them a good thrashing!"

Yes, General!

The next moment, arrows rained down like a storm, covering the entire sea of fire. The agonizing screams and running figures of the fire people were extinguished without a trace.

And the soldiers of Panlong Nation who were watching this, their hatred deepened, yet not one dared to step forward to help. They could only watch helplessly as three vanguard troops were almost completely wiped out.

"They all say that a woman's heart is the most poisonous, they are truly cruel!"

The general of Panlong Nation tightened his reins, gritting his teeth and saying.

Soon after, news of Longxi City's fall reached both Panlong Nation and Fengqi Nation.

The new Emperor, Panlong, roared for a long time at the court meeting, but no one dared to reply. Three days later, he received a letter from the Phoenix Nest Kingdom. This time, the Eldest Princess's tone was even more forceful.

Either make a public apology and compensate for the losses, or the Fengqi Kingdom will continue to attack the city. At that point, it's anyone's guess how many cities they'll capture.

"Your Majesty, this is a blatant threat."

Zhang Zhang's face was also very ugly, seemingly not expecting the other party to be so strong this time.

"Zhang Aiqing, do you have any better ideas"

Panlong, the new emperor, rubbed his temples and asked.

We can forge alliances with the Xuanwu Kingdom and the Baihu Kingdom, and join forces to fight against the Fenqi Kingdom.

"Humph! They're still just watching from the sidelines, hoping we'll tear each other apart so they can pick up the pieces."'t slow, either. They followed these people and left the cemetery.Only Hongji realized afterward that the Prince could actually leave. She immediately transformed into a cloud of red mist and pursued...
