After traveling through time, I thrived in ancient times

Chapter 394: Extra Prestige

Although it only seemed like a few short words, it was enough for Shen Chenli at the moment.

At least it can prove her safety.

"My Lord, is there any news?"

The anxious general saw the prince staring blankly at the letter in his hand and knew that there must be news from the princess.

In the past two days, the rumors have become more and more intense, with some saying that Prince Chen's wife's body has disappeared.

The prince's expression became increasingly ugly, and they began to feel frightened. Several generals who had previously stopped the prince from going to see the princess also began to feel uneasy.

This rumor is too outrageous. Could something really have happened?

If that was true, they would be making a big mistake by stopping the prince!

But for some reason, the prince seemed to have calmed down in the past two days. He did not mention going to find the princess again. Instead, he went to the battlefield himself and beat the soldiers guarding the city until they cried out in pain.

Not many of them dare to make a sound at this moment!

Shen Chenli understood that the more panicked he was at a time like this, the more likely something would go wrong. He didn't know how much willpower he had to restrain himself and choose to believe Yu Tingwan.

Fortunately, she is really fine!

But I felt more and more guilty, thinking that I had let her down.

Hearing the generals' questions, Shen Chenli nodded slightly and said:

"The princess has already led the army here."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Just be okay, be okay!

There are also many who feel guilty towards the princess and don't know how to face her in the future. They can only wait until the war is over and go to the princess in person to apologize!

"Okay, let's talk about the war situation first. How many soldiers do they have now?"

Yesterday, Hejian County suddenly increased its troops by 300,000. These should be the troops dispatched by the imperial court. In addition, there were already 200,000 troops in Hejian County before, and now there are a total of 500,000 troops, which makes them seem not enough.

Fortunately, due to the special terrain of Hejian, there are two big mountains outside the city. Although we cannot use a large number of troops to march, it would be great to use such terrain to fight!

That is why they were able to sit here safely for the past two days after the army reinforcements arrived.

After all, they were the besieging party, and the situation was not favorable for them. If there were no two big mountains blocking them, their 500,000 troops alone would be able to trample the 200,000 troops to death!

The general in charge of scouting stood up and said respectfully:

"Your Highness, according to the information sent by the scouts, even after the battles of the past few days, they still have at least 400,000 troops in the city, so we can only wait for the army led by the princess to arrive."

"Not only that, they also used poison. Our people are still alive now because of the medicine given by the princess, but it still doesn't work. If this continues, there will definitely be problems!"

These words were said by Lu Cheng, and he felt very ashamed about it.

The poison they used was unprecedented and came in all kinds of forms. The most unpredictable one was the plague. According to the letter brought by the princess, this was a poison developed by Nanliang and the poison doctors. It was man-made, not a natural disaster.

But even so, under limited conditions, he could only cool down these people when they had a fever, and then rely on the medicine given by the princess to detoxify them.

But there are too many people and the supply of medicine is running out. Now is the most difficult time.

The generals all spoke one after another, and to sum up, the current situation was very unfavorable to them.

If it weren't for the poison doctors and Nan Liang using those disgusting poisons and poisonous insects, they would never have been so passive!

At this moment, even Lu Cheng had a hint of doubt in his heart.

Should he learn some poison techniques from the princess? Is it true that medicine and poison are inseparable?

After listening to the speech while sitting in the main seat, Shen Chenli thought for a long time and finally made a decision.

"Blow up the city gates, send small teams to harass them at night, and then lure them out of the city to the mountains and forests to ambush them."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. This was indeed a solution. If they didn't come out now, they could only shout and curse outside the city. This group of cowards had 500,000 troops under their command, but they didn't dare to go out of the city to fight. They were simply speechless!

In the next three days, two generals and several captains led a group of troops respectively. After blowing open the city gates, they launched sneak attacks and harassment at night, and then attacked Huanglong in the daytime!

Every time they never fight to the end, they just kill a group and run away.

This made the soldiers and generals in the city very angry, and they scolded Shen Chenli over and over again.

It’s a pity that Shen Chenli couldn’t hear it, but it wouldn’t matter even if he heard it.

What is even more puzzling to the people in the city is why these people can still stand up and fight even though they have been poisoned, and even the poisonous insects seem to be of no use!

As for the poisonous insect, it really was caused by an accident.

The people from the Poison Doctor Sect originally wanted to give the poison to Shen Chenli, but it accidentally fell on General Zhou Yan. That's fine.

But he was infected because he cared too much about his soldiers.

Afterwards, Shen Chenli directly fed him the spiritual spring water that Yu Tingwan gave him. Unexpectedly, not only did the smallpox cure, but the poisonous insect was also lured out, running around on Zhou Yan's arm, scaring everyone.

It just so happened that the miracle doctor Lu Cheng was there. He instantly understood what had happened and reached out and cut a line on Zhou Yan's arm.

As a result, everyone saw the worm crawling out of the wound instantly, which made people feel extremely disgusted.

At this moment they suddenly realized that many people in the army might have been tricked.

Shen Chenli handed the little remaining spiritual spring water in his hand to them with a grim look. At least each of the generals and captains drank a little.

After making sure that the generals were all fine, everyone could only use the medicine given by Yu Tingwan more carefully to prevent such things from happening again.

So, this is also one of the reasons why people in the city are scratching their heads.

Three days passed quickly, and the people in the city finally became angry at the harassment and sent out an army of 400,000 to fight.

At this time, Shen Chenli, leading an army of 200,000, was also ready.

"Traitor Shen Chenli, this general is kind enough not to fight you, but you keep harassing me. This general will definitely take your head!"

He was afraid of death, so he wanted to slowly waste time in the city and wait for the people brought by Shen Chenli to die. By then, he would still be considered a meritorious official and would not be in any danger at all, and he would still be the one who killed the God of War.

Wouldn't it be very honorable to do so?

But Shen Chenli got the weapon from somewhere and actually blew up the city gate. He was instantly scared.

But encouraged by the people around him, and their constant sneak attacks, he felt that he still had a chance to fight Shen Chenli.

After all, he has 500,000 troops around him!

Just like that, this originally cowardly and mighty general was instigated to go to the battlefield and curse Shen Chenli face to face!
