Yan city was easy to defend and hard to attack, and most of the generals present were not confident. Therefore, there were more conservatives than the jingoists present.
The reason why they were still arguing was because they still had hope for Wei
Yuan.
“We’ll rest for the night and set off tomorrow. The Army will arrive at the city gates.” Wei Yuan pointed at the capital of the fire Country on the map.
The argument died down.
Sixty miles away, the fire country’s capital was built in a huge Mountain Valley. A towering city wall that stretched three thousand feet long connected the two mountains.
The mountain peaks were steep and the city walls were tall. With the help of cannons, ballistae, Rolling Stones, and other defensive equipment, the city was impregnable. Any military expert who saw this majestic city would be amazed.
Throughout history, in the one thousand four hundred years since the Yan country had built its capital, this city had only been breached once. That was the great Zhou Dynasty’s most prosperous period, when a King of the great
Zhou imperial family, a Dao integration stage martial artist of rank two, led an Army into the Yan capital.
According to the fire country’s historical records, that battle was extremely brutal. The witch God religion lost a rain master (second rank) and a spiritual intelligence (third rank). In the end, it was the witch God who personally took action and killed the peak second rank Prince.
It was not that Yan DU’s defense was weak, but that the other party’s combat power was already at the top of the nine states.
In the palace of the capital.
Even though the fire country’s Emperor nurhejia’s hair had already turned white, his body was still burly. This Emperor was extremely talented. When he was young, he had taken the path of a martial artist, but after reaching the peak of fourth grade, he had not made any further progress.
After that, he switched to the Wizard system. After reaching the fourth stage, he reached a bottleneck again.
It was extremely rare to nave two systems. It was not that chrrerent systems would repel each other, but it was because cultivation was difficult. Only by focusing on one system could one go higher and further.
Nurheka, who was over 50 years old, had no chance of becoming a rank 3 wizard.
He did not feel that it was a pity. Third-grade experts were as rare as Phoenix Feathers and Qilin horns, and it was normal that they could not cultivate it. On the other hand, a dual system like him had a single combat ability that was stronger than any rank-4 of any system.
Nurheka sat on the throne, listening to the intense discussions of his officials.
The Yan country’s higher-ups were not dejected or angered by Wei Yuan’s power, and had already prepared themselves for a great defeat.
“Wei Yuan has already taken Xu City and will be here tomorrow.”
“How did he manage to take down seven cities in a short period of ten days?”
“Can the capital be held?”
Within the main hall, the atmosphere was heavy and the faces of the Yan country’s ministers were grim, as if they were facing a great enemy.
At this moment, some of the old officials seemed to have returned to the Battle of Shanhai Pass. They remembered the fear and humiliation of being dominated by Wei Yuan.
according to the news from Scout hou, the Feng Army only has 50000 soldiers left. No matter how skilled Wei Yuan is at using his troops, it’ll be extremely difficult for him to break through the capital with just 50000 soldiers.
“Everyone in the city is United, and there are sufficient troops, armaments, and rations. At worst, I’ll fight eunuch Wei to the death.”
Nurheka couldn’t help but look at the hooded old man beside him, who was holding a golden staff inlaid with gemstones. “State Teacher yelbu, what do you think?”
In the three countries in the northeast, each country had a level three spiritual intelligence as the state preceptor. They usually didn’t participate in government affairs, but their status was higher than that of the country’s ruler because they represented the headquarters and the witchcraft cult.
Yelb, who had managed to survive in Chuzhou, gripped his golden staff and said in a deep voice, ‘”‘The 50000 strong Army of the Kang Kingdom has entered the fire country’s borders. In five days at most, they will be able to form an encirclement with us.”
Nurhejia nodded. Yan city has been around for more than a thousand years. It has experienced many wars and only been broken once. Wei Yuan won’t be able to break through the city in a short time. But to Feng Jun, time was of the essence. They don’t have enough food.”
The officials in the hall slowly nodded, ” as long as the Army of the Kang Kingdom cuts off their supply route, we can make Wei Yuan retreat in less than three days.
“Let’s see how Wei Yuan will fight this battle.”
Yelbu’s gaze passed through the palace door, looking at the blue sky outside. massacring seven cities, cutting the luck of the witchcraft cult, and pointing. sword at the witch God … Wei Yuan, you think you’re the smartest, you think you’ve made a perfect plan last year, but you don’t know that we’ve been waiting for you.
It was a fool’s dream to attack the headquarters with less than 100000 troops.
On the broken city wall, Wei Yuan, who was wearing a dark green cloak, had a bird’s eye view of the situation below. The soldiers of Da Feng were pushing carts and throwing corpses into the deep pit and torches.
Thick smoke rose, mixed with the stench of burning flesh.
The ones who were burnt to the ground were not only the fire country’s soldiers and its citizens, but also the soldiers who had worshipped their own people.
The soldiers moved in silence. The days of war and the baptism of blood and fire had made the soldiers silent. Their courage was hidden in this silence.
Nangong qianrou walked up to Wei Yuan and whispered, “”Foster father, after this battle, you won’t be able to escape infamy in the history books.”
In Nangong qianrou’s opinion, it was understandable to kill the surrendered soldiers. The great Feng Army was a lone Army deep in the enemy’s belly. If they did not kill the surrendered soldiers, they would be implicated.
They had to worry about the surrendered soldiers rebelling, but they also had more mouths to feed and consumed grain.
However, killing commoners was a great taboo for a militarist, not to mention slaughtering seven cities. Even if he returned triumphantly, he would still be condemned by those Dao protectors.
Ever since they had sent out their troops, Da Feng’s rations had not come at all. Along the way, they had been burning, killing, plundering, using war to sustain war, and what they had plundered were all the Yan country’s rations and military equipment.
This was not a good sign.
The new generation of generals only thought that it was his Godfather’s unique way of leading troops. After tasting the benefits, they were extremely excited. But now, he gradually realized that something was wrong..
