Chapter 285 You mortals, retreat immediately, or you will be punished by the gods!
Gao Fei and his 50,000 elite troops were stationed in the original military camp in Lihai City.
The original troops in this military camp had been disbanded and incorporated into the army of the Marquis of Pingxi.
Shen Shuli rode her horse quickly to the military camp on the outskirts of the city and informed Gao Fei of the news.
"Uncle Gao, the new emperor has personally led an army of over 200,000 to attack! We hope you can lead troops to help defend the city gates."
Shen Shuli hurriedly explained her purpose.
Upon hearing this, Gao Fei's expression immediately changed.
He never expected that the new emperor would personally lead the troops into battle!
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Gao Fei made the decision almost immediately, leading his troops to the city gate to provide support.
Gao Fei's attitude towards the royal family is different from that of Ping Xihou.
Marquis Pingxi still held the royal family in some awe, but deep down, Gao Fei harbored nothing but anger and hatred towards them.
Whether it's an old emperor or a new emperor.
To him, they were all absolute enemies!
It was this father and son who conspired to bring the Xie family to this state!
Even if he only had 50,000 troops, he would not be afraid of the enemy. His heart was filled with surging fighting spirit, and he wished he could kill his enemy and avenge his hatred right now!
Shen Shuli was relieved to find Gao Fei's cooperation much more readily than expected.
At the same time, we are also very fortunate that the fleet at the East Wharf has already left the wharf and headed to the island.
Otherwise, if the new emperor's people discover this, something terrible will definitely happen!
The entire city was filled with fear and hid in their homes, afraid to show their faces.
Gao Fei led his army to the north gate at top speed.
During this period, Marquis Pingxi had already transferred most of the troops from the other three city gates to the north gate.
Even so.
The total number of troops at the entire North Gate was only 150,000.
Shen Shuli called Mu Wanjun and Xiao Yuxuan down from the city wall.
The three of them staying on the city wall wouldn't do much good.
Instead, they would be disliked by Marquis Pingxi and Gao Fei for being in the way, so it would be better to take the opportunity to leave and secretly help them.
Shen Shuli pulled the two to a secluded spot and said, "I have plenty of weapons and ammunition in my space. The odds of victory are definitely on our side, so you don't need to worry too much."
"That's great." Mu Wanjun's heart eased slightly, and she looked at Shen Shuli with bright eyes, saying, "How do we cooperate?"
Xiao Yuxuan is a successful businessman in modern society and has never come into contact with these weapons or other contraband.
He's not even as good as Mu Wanjun.
In her previous life, Mu Wanjun was a military doctor. In order to protect her personal safety, the military region also trained her as a soldier.
She had a lot of contact with these weapons and ammunition.
Shen Shuli said, "Use helicopters to directly bomb the enemy."
She personally tested it in Yunhai City last time, and the results were excellent.
But that time she was facing only 50,000 troops, and her attack came unexpectedly.
This time, with the new emperor leading such a large army, there are bound to be many experts among them who will discover the presence of the helicopter.
She needed to get the helicopter flying higher, away from the enemy's long-range attack range.
"That's a good idea. Let's hurry up and stop them from getting close to Lihai City," Mu Wanjun said excitedly.
Shen Shuli nodded, and the three of them found a quiet, deserted spot. They flew their drone around Lihai City, making a large circle, avoiding the north gate, and headed towards the location of the new emperor's army.
Mu Wanjun was the one piloting the helicopter this time.
Shen Shuli searched through her spatial storage for a suitable weapon.
Xiao Yuxuan controlled the drones to observe the size of the new emperor's army.
He shared the information he saw with the two of them.
"This is indeed the new emperor personally leading the troops into battle. This ostentatious imperial carriage is clearly telling everyone his identity."
"However, we underestimated their strength."
"This means there are at least 300,000 troops!"
Xiao Yuxuan looked at the endless road lined with countless heads, his brows furrowed deeply.
Mu Wanjun also saw the long line of people below.
I feel very heavy-hearted.
"Yes, I feel the same way. There should be more than 200,000 people."
Shen Shuli leaned back in her chair, her eyes closed, her consciousness still immersed in the space.
They were basically talking to her.
Upon hearing this, Shen Shuli slowly opened her eyes and focused her gaze on the drone's screen.
The helicopter is currently at least two kilometers above the ground.
Mu Wanjun kept controlling the helicopter, flying towards the back of the group.
Shen Shuli looked down at the official road and felt heavy-hearted.
The weather is currently affected by the rainy season, and there is a light mist in the air.
Moreover, the helicopter is currently very high above the ground, and the drone is also affected by rain and fog, making it difficult to see the scenery below clearly.
Mu Wanjun could only lower the temperature slightly to see it more clearly.
We finally reached the end of the line.
Xiao Yuxuan slowly exhaled: "It should be at least 400,000!"
"It seems that the new emperor has taken all the troops from the prefectures and cities he passed through along the way," Shen Shuli sneered.
"It should be, otherwise how could he have so many troops?" Mu Wanjun agreed with her best friend.
"Ah Jun, find a place to put me down. I'm going to eat all the food and supplies they brought." Shen Shuli's eyes were filled with icy killing intent.
The new emperor not only took control of all the armies along the way, but also brought countless grain carts and horses.
It is clear that all the grain in the cities had been moved away.
Such a new emperor shows no regard for the lives of the people, so naturally she will not show him any mercy.
After Mu Wanjun responded, she parked the helicopter in an open space.
"You all wait for me here. I'll come find you after I've collected the grain," Shen Shuli said.
She was worried that it would be dangerous to leave Xiao Yuxuan behind, so she asked Mu Wanjun to stay and keep each other company.
Mu Wanjun, worried that she might be in danger alone, immediately said, "I'll go with you. There are too many people; I'm worried you won't be able to handle it alone."
Although Xiao Yuxuan was not good with these firearms, he was still a man.
Even without firearms, their combat strength is not low, and they can still be of great help.
He couldn't bear to let two women cause such a big mess while he stayed out of it.
Besides, these are two people who are very important to him.
"Put the helicopter away. Isn't it better for the three of us to fight side by side? Or do you not consider me a human being?"
Xiao Yuxuan looked at the two of them with dissatisfaction and accused them.
Shen Shuli was slightly stunned for a moment.
She subconsciously regarded Xiao Yuxuan as a weakling.
Who told him to be just an empty shell in modern times?
He couldn't even withstand three moves from her.
She always subconsciously wanted him to avoid such dangerous situations.
She completely forgot that Xiao Yuxuan's identity here was that of a villain with extraordinary combat skills!
"Hehehe, okay, then the three of us will fight side by side." Shen Shuli smiled guiltily.
Then he took out three sets of combat uniforms and equipped the two men with all their weapons.
Firearms are undoubtedly the most powerful killing weapons in this world.
After dressing neatly, the three men stealthily approached the enemy.
It has the imposing presence of three people facing off against a massive army.
Behind the enemy troops were ordinary logistics soldiers escorting supplies, with three men on each vehicle.
One person drives the carriage, while two others escort and protect it on either side.
The three worked together, each taking down one person with a single shot.
Shen Shuli dealt with the people on the left side of the carriage, while Mu Wanjun dealt with those on the right.
Xiao Yuxuan's marksmanship was not very accurate. To prevent any accidents, he used his lightness skill to jump onto the carriage and fired a shot at close range, pointing the gun at the back of the driver's head.
Then it flew to the car in front and continued.
All three used silenced pistols, and their faint sound was completely drowned out by the rain and the sounds of the army marching on.
Finally, Shen Shuli put all the dead people, carriages, horses, and provisions into her space.
The three of them moved like ghosts, making not a sound.
They silently reaped the enemy's lifeline.
But when only a few cars were left, something unexpected happened!
Suddenly, someone in front turned around to look back, checking if there was anything unusual in the group behind them.
But what he saw was an astonishing sight when he only glanced at it casually!
There should have been a long line behind him!
But he only had four or five carriages and horses left!
Three strangely dressed people were silently reaping the lives of their companions.
He watched helplessly as the car, which had been standing in the same spot, vanished into thin air!
Not only have the carts carrying grain and fodder disappeared!
The bodies of his three companions also vanished on the spot!
"Ahhh!"
"There's a ghost!"
The man was so frightened that he fell to the ground and screamed!
This startled not only the other travelers but also Shen Shuli and her two companions!
Shen Shuli and the other two felt a tightness in their chests, exchanged glances, and shared an unprecedented understanding.
All three men raised their guns and fired at the man who screamed, killing him instantly.
To prevent this person from spreading what they saw.
They also quickly dealt with the logistics soldiers who reacted and tried to surround them.
Shen Shuli felt a little regretful; there were only a few cars left.
These cars are filled with the most valuable gold and silver jewelry!
Many infantrymen turned around and looked at them at the man's scream.
Shen Shuli would never expose her secret under the noses of so many people.
The only option is to give up.
The infantrymen in front also reacted and surrounded the three of them.
To avoid being surrounded by a large force.
The three immediately chose to evacuate!
"Ah Xuan, you take Ah Jun and go first, I'll cover the rear!" Shen Shuli's lightness skill had already made some progress.
Although she had only achieved a minor level of proficiency, her lightness skill was learned from Xie Tingyuan. This skill book was top-notch and was enough for her to evade the pursuit of ordinary people.
However, Mu Wanjun had no skill in light-footed martial arts and had to be helped to escape by Xiao Yuxuan.
Without hesitation, Xiao Yuxuan grabbed Mu Wanjun's outstretched hand, hoisted her onto his back, and used his light-footed skill to escape.
Mu Wanjun could see what was happening behind her and kept reminding Shen Shuli. At the same time, she also raised her gun and fired at the enemies who were trying to pursue her, buying time for Shen Shuli.
Among the infantrymen at the rear, some were carrying bows and arrows.
Upon seeing three people launching a sneak attack, someone immediately drew a bow and shot at the enemy.
While fleeing, Shen Shuli also had to look back to check for the hidden arrows coming at her.
With Mu Wanjun's reminder and help, she was able to relax a little.
Shen Shuli's speed is slightly inferior to Xiao Yuxuan's.
Xiao Yuxuan immediately went to the spot where the helicopter had just been parked.
Immediately provide support and cover for Shen Shuli's retreat.
The people behind them had already been left behind. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was watching, Shen Shuli immediately launched the helicopter and flew away from the scene with the two of them.
The entire army was startled by the commotion behind them and stopped in place to await the emperor's orders.
