He had a million strong army and many years of combat experience. It was only a matter of time before he could break through the city.
Hua Ruge nodded his head: "Then I will be troubling Uncle, this junior will listen to your transfer orders."
She had to admit, she was fine with plotting and scheming. She didn't know a thing about a large-scale siege like this.
"Don't be so modest, who doesn't know that you have so many devious ideas?" General Mao obviously understood her very well.
She might not be good at war, or perhaps she did not understand it well, but to be able to take down the number one family member by herself, her control over people's hearts and the situation could not be weak.
This wisdom was useful no matter where one went.
Hua Ruge said somewhat embarrassedly: "These are all methods that cannot be put on the table, I've let you down."
After the two of them conversed for a while, Hua Ruge returned to the room that her servant had prepared for her. It was already deep into the night.
The maid who had been sent to wait on her came in to serve her dinner.
"Is there anyone here to deliver a letter today?" Hua Ruge picked up his chopsticks and asked.
"To reply the Lord Marquis, this servant did not see." The maid replied cautiously.
The entire Zheng knew that this marquis was not to be trifled with, and she was nervous when she spoke.
Hua Ruge nodded and began to eat.
The maidservant stood at the side, waiting for his orders.
Hua Ruge tilted his head and looked at her, the servant girl could be considered beautiful, her palm sized face was pure white, and her trembling voice somewhat resembled the Lan Bing'er from before.
"I'm not as fierce as you think. Just relax." Hua Ruge laughed.
Was she that terrifying?
The maid was afraid that she would say something wrong, so she didn't dare to open her mouth. She just stood there, feeling even more uneasy.
Hua Ruge laughed helplessly: "There's no need for you to attend to me. Go and rest."
"Yes, Lord Marquis. Your servant is right outside the door. If you need anything, feel free to instruct me." The maid said and left the room.
With Hua Ruge's hearing, he could obviously hear the little maid exhale.
She felt very helpless. Was she really that lacking in affinity?
It must be because he had been with Tuoba Rui for a long time.
As Hua Ruge thought about it, he thought about the letter again.
Why didn't he reply?
The situation was probably already under their control. Hua Ruge finally relaxed, and was able to sleep soundly.
She was awakened by the sound of running army footsteps. At breakfast, she asked the maid, "Did the general start to attack the city?"
"Yes, sir." The maid replied.
Hua Ruge nodded. After eating breakfast, he opened the door and felt a cold wind blow in.
Previously, Zhang Xuan didn't feel anything amiss, but after sleeping in a warm room for the night, he felt that the weather had turned cold.
"It's almost winter." Hua Ruge said casually.
"Yes, my lord, it will be in a few days." The maid replied.
Hua Ruge nodded, thinking that the time passed really quickly. When she first left the Da Yu, it wasn't even autumn yet, and now, it was almost the New Year.
She wore a thick military uniform and walked outside.
Although she didn't know much about the siege, she should at least take a look.
Reaching the city wall, General Mao was already standing there watching as his army charged forward, attacking the city from three directions.
He rushed up to the city one after another. The casualties were not small, and only three people could survive in the city.
Hua Ruge didn't like this kind of war of attrition, but there was nothing she could do about it. Her non-humankind warriors had all been separated by the army of Dong Xia to the south.
"The fighting strength of the Dong Xia Soldiers have decreased a bit compared to yesterday. I presume that there isn't enough food in the city, and it might not even take three days to take them down." The General Mao analyzed.
Hua Ruge nodded: "The faster the better."
"Yeah." General Mao said as he turned to ask Hua Ruge, "Has Battle King sent a message over? How is it at the capital?"
Hua Ruge heard and shook his head: "I think that the letter should be here by now, but it isn't. It should be because it hasn't been taken down yet, he is still busy right now."
"It's not that easy to take down two hundred thousand royal guards." General Mao said.
Hua Ruge also felt that it would take a few more days.
After all, it was not easy to pacify the people after a war.
There was a distance of a few hundred metres between the two cities, and Hua Ruge watched from afar as the flags on the other side of the city fluttered, while a person clad in silver armor stood under his banner.
"The one under the Commander Flag is the enemy's high-ranking officer, right?" Hua Ruge asked.
From such a distance, Hua Ruge could not see the man's face clearly.
Even when the Soul Summoning Technique was used, it would weaken the power over there.
"Yes, Crown Prince Bei Chenyi of Dong Xia."

Hua Ruge raised his eyebrows and asked: "What is your relationship with Bei Chenyue?"
"Sister-in-law." General Mao said concisely.
Hua Ruge scratched his forehead and said: "This world is really small."
"That's right, because he put in quite a bit of effort when he was attacking the city and directly said that he wanted to take your head." General Mao said.
Hua Ruge squinted his eyes, and smiled: "Then, wouldn't it be rude to not express that we've met each other for the first time?"
General Mao looked at her strangely. At this moment, she had already taken out a huge black bow from the spatial space, but it was hard to tell what the bow was made of. However, whether it was the bow itself or the bowstring, both gave people a feeling of great power.
This was what Hua Ruge had obtained from Hua Shengxiong, and also what her mother had left behind for him. At that time, he had only pulled it out by half and Little Marten was already injured.
She took out a black iron bow and arrow that she had bought at the auction.
Raising the huge bow in his left hand, he used his right index finger and middle finger to grip onto the faint metallic luster of the bowstring. Then, he took a deep breath and slowly pulled the bowstring open.
Because it was the Element Body, her body's strength was much stronger than the Barbarians, and adding on her spirit energy, she could be said to be extremely strong. But even so, she could only be like Hua Shengxiong, who had pulled her bow halfway and was unable to continue.
She used her spiritual power to lock onto the silver dot and let go of it.
"Swoosh!"
The Darksteel Bow let out a loud whistle in the air as it shot forward with a speed that was invisible to the naked eye. It was so fast that it shocked everyone.
Bei Chenyi's eyes were fixed on Hua Ruge, he had already seen it when she was shooting the arrow. The distance between the two was only a few hundred metres, but he felt that he would not be able to dodge.
It was as if Hua Ruge had released the arrow and the arrow had arrived in front of him.
The black arrow was aimed at his forehead.
He only panicked for a moment, then missed the opportunity to dodge.
A person beside him who was dressed in ordinary soldier's clothes had reacted early on, and pushed Bei Chenyi at this moment.
Bei Chenyi fell to the side, the arrow brushing past his face as it fell.
"Crack!"
The flagpole broke.
