The people in the room were listening to He Cheng's countdown, thinking that the other party would attack after the countdown was over, but they didn't expect He Cheng to actually not talk about martial arts, so he counted down a dozen counts and let people attack.

Because they were defenseless, when the people in the house reacted, they had no time to throw out the grenade that had been thrown into the house.

Rumble! Rumble! Two dull explosions followed, and a large amount of smoke poured out of the completely destroyed window.

Zhu Er and Ma Wu, two veterans, did not wait for the smoke of the explosion to dissipate, so they directly slammed open the door and rushed into the house.

After only half a minute, the two of them walked out of the room again, holding a struggling girl in their hands.

According to Zhu Er, after they rushed into the house, they found that the three men seemed to be desperately trying to protect the girl with their bodies when the grenade exploded, so the other party was not injured in the violent explosion, but was a little dizzy by the shock wave of the explosion, and then was easily caught by the two of them.

As for the other three men, they had all been killed by grenades.

After the girl was dragged out of the house, she quickly recovered and was about to struggle, He Cheng immediately asked the soldiers to tie her up with a rope, and then sent someone to drag the bodies of the other three men out of the house, and searched the three people first, trying to find out the identities of these people.

At this time, the village chief Oduma also heard the explosion and hurried over.

After seeing the three dead men and the girl who had been captured alive, the village chief's face changed drastically.

Seeing this, He Cheng understood that this guy should know the identities of these people, so he immediately stepped forward and hugged the other party's shoulders and asked softly: "Village chief, these people are in your village, you should know their identities, right?" ”

In the face of He Cheng's inquiry, Au Duma originally wanted to continue to conceal it, but after seeing He Cheng's right hand pressed on the hilt of the knife on his waist, the village chief did not have the courage to see death as if he were home, so he could only tell He Cheng the identities of these four people.

It turned out that the girl was actually the daughter of King Haraus, that is, the princess of the kingdom of Svadia. Her father and two older brothers had died in the war, but thankfully she had a few loyal guards by her side to escort her all the way to the remote Sultanate of Salander.

Originally, I thought that I had escaped so far and was still hiding in such a small village, so I should be able to live in peace for a while, but I didn't expect the army of the Blue Dragon Empire to advance so quickly and reach the Salander Sultanate so quickly. Later, he was captured alive by He Cheng and them, which can really be said to be extremely bad luck.

And He Cheng was also very surprised when he learned the identity of the girl, he knew that this could be a big fish, but he didn't expect this fish to be so big!

Having captured this princess of the Swadia kingdom alive, he could at least rise in rank and maybe get a barony.

Looking at the 'evil' smile on He Cheng's face, Adjani, who was informant, regretted it a little at this time, she felt that this sister might not end well after being arrested!

However, she didn't expect that the other party would be the princess of the Swadia Kingdom! If she knew the identity of the other party, she would definitely not tell He Cheng.

"Brother He Cheng, what will you do with Sister Sally in the future?"

Hearing the girl's inquiry, He Cheng temporarily restrained his smile and replied to the other party: "Now that the Svadia Kingdom has been destroyed, it should not be possible to kill her, and in the end, it should be rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor to one of his generals!" ”

Sally, who was not far away, struggled even more violently when she heard what might happen to her, even if her hands and feet were tied with hemp rope, and two soldiers pressed her shoulders to make her fall down.

Adjani also had an unbearable look on her face, after all, this was treated as an object and casually rewarded to a military general she didn't know as a concubine, no matter how you look at it, it's not a good end!

He Cheng looked at the unbearable look on the face of the girl beside him, sighed, and then walked up to the Swadia princess, asked the two soldiers to untie the ropes on her body, and then pulled out the steel knife on his waist and stuck it on the ground in front of him.

"For Adjani's sake, I'll give you a chance to kill yourself!"

After He Cheng said this to Sally, he retreated to other places with his soldiers, leaving Sally alone there.

After He Cheng and the others left, Sally raised her hand and pulled out the steel knife, she could see at a glance that this was an extremely sharp and good knife, and she would use it to kill herself, it would definitely be very crisp and neat.

But just as she raised the knife and prepared to kill herself, her body's instinctive will to survive made her hands stop at the last moment.

After several attempts, Sally failed to muster up the courage to kill herself again, which made her feel so impotent that she fell to her knees and cried bitterly with the steel knife.

He Cheng saw this scene from a distance, but he didn't have any contempt for this princess's timidity, after all, he understood that the other party was just a teenager and a girl, and he was born with a golden spoon in his mouth since he was a child, and lived a rich life of stretching out his hands for food and opening his mouth. All of a sudden, the country was shattered, and his father and brothers died in the war, which was already extremely frightened. In the end, he fled and hid in this remote village but was still caught by them, and the few remaining guards around him also died tragically on the spot, and it was good that he did not collapse on the spot in fright.

As for not daring to commit suicide now, it is even more normal, you must know that many big figures in history, at this last moment, there will be many people who dare not start and give themselves a decent look! After all, this survival instinct is engraved in human genes, and it is not something that ordinary people can compete with.

And after she gave up this opportunity to kill herself, Sally seemed to be completely dead, and then she no longer struggled to resist, and was obediently imprisoned for about a week, and then she was taken away and escorted back by the troops who came to give her support.

He Cheng After they got the new supplies from the rear, they finally didn't have to live as tightly as before, because they had distributed a lot of food to those villagers, they reduced the original three meals a day to two, and many soldiers seemed to be really hungry and thin during this time.

But their side is pretty good, although they eat less every day, but at least they don't have to march against the sun every day.

During this time, the main army led by Ye Tianlong, in order to find the main force of the enemy army for a decisive battle, can be said to be marching every day, without a day of rest.

However, the enemy army relied on their familiarity with the terrain, and often let them rush for half a day but fell short.

Speaking of the Salander Sultanate, according to Ye Tianlong's personal measurement during this time, I am afraid that it is larger than the Swadia Kingdom, but unfortunately due to the desert in most parts of its territory, although the land is large, the population is not large, and those towns are basically established in some scattered oases in the desert.

Ye Tianlong has basically occupied these oases now, but the enemy army relies on his familiarity with the terrain, and can often find water to replenish in some places where there seems to be no trace of water source, so Ye Tianlong has not been able to completely block the enemy's main army.

In order to destroy the main force of the enemy army as soon as possible, Ye Tianlong was ready to take a risk, dividing the 300,000 troops in his hand into six teams, searching and outflanking them from different directions, squeezing the enemy's activity space little by little, and finally completely surrounding it.

However, with such a division of troops, the strength of each route army is far less than the main force of the enemy, as far as Ye Tianlong knows, the Hakim Sultan of the Nasaland Sultanate, relying on the reckless crazy recruitment, has increased the strength to about 280,000 at this time.

Once the other party learns that his side has divided his forces, it is likely that he will seize this opportunity and rely on the superiority of his troops to defeat his troops in various ways.

But this is also what Ye Tianlong wants, after all, this is equivalent to the other party taking the initiative to jump out, lest he continue to bother to search for the location of his main army.

And he is also confident in the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under his command, 50,000 horses, even if it is impossible to annihilate the main force of the enemy, but it can still be done by dragging the other side for a day or two. As long as it can be delayed for a day or two, other troops can also arrive and carry out the final encirclement and annihilation of the enemy's main force.

Speaking of which, this battle can be said to be the most difficult and aggrieved battle that Ye Tianlong feels he has fought, and he thought that the Rhodok Kingdom would be the most difficult country to fight! After all, the territory of the Rhodok Kingdom is mountainous and the terrain is extremely complex, and it is difficult to transport artillery in many places.

However, after he sent out his hoplites and elite archers, these more difficult fortresses and cities were eventually taken.

However, the army of the Salander Sultanate was as slippery as a loach, and he had been walking him for more than a week with his familiarity with the terrain, so that he had nowhere to use his strength, so he could only follow the other party and eat ashes, even if the logistics of his Qinglong Empire were sufficient, but many soldiers were tired or sick or simply suffered from heat stroke under this kind of continuous pursuit. It is no wonder that the Sultan of Hakim refused to surrender and wanted to continue to resist to the end, the special terrain of his country did make it have the capital to maneuver in the face of the strong enemy of the Blue Dragon Empire.

It is precisely because of the increase in various non-combat attrition these days that Ye Tianlong has formulated this seemingly risky plan and is ready to make a bold move.

At this time, in an extremely hidden valley, the Sultan of Hakim was stuffing a freshly roasted scorpion into his mouth. During this time, although he was strong enough to walk the army of the Blue Dragon Empire, the army under his command also completely lost supplies due to the successive losses of the city, and the soldiers could only go to find food and drink.

Therefore, even he, the sultan, does not have the delicacies of the past to enjoy these days, and many times he can only eat some bark and grass roots to satisfy his hunger. For example, today's fat roasted scorpion is a rare meal.

After slowly chewing the scorpion into its shell, Hakim Sultan picked up the water bladder, poured himself a sip of water, and prepared to lie down and rest for a while.
