With this person taking the lead, other officials also surrendered.
The Dayuan army was so terrifying that they would massacre every city they captured.
If they really attack, everyone will die.
It's completely different from fighting other countries.
In the past, when they were defeated in a war, the most they had to do was surrender, cede territory and pay compensation, and these officials would still live a wealthy life.
This time was different from the past, the Dayuan army acted without mercy.
In order to save their lives, they all prayed for surrender.
There are also a few militant people who are unwilling to accept this.
A general shouted, "The enemy has only occupied the border, and our general is leading an army of 100,000.
I believe that the Grand Marshal will send troops back to defend the city as soon as he gets the news. How can you officials be so spineless?
You actually forced your Majesty's enemy to surrender. You are all a bunch of rubbish."
“If you have the ability, you can lead the troops to fight and drive out the Dayuan army.
What's the point of saying these sarcastic remarks?
If we surrender early, we can at least save everyone's lives.
Anyway, Annan is very far away from the capital of the Dayuan Dynasty. After they withdraw their troops, we can still be the same as before and still get the protection of the Dayuan Dynasty.
If we continue to resist, and the Dayuan army attacks, who can protect His Majesty? "
"You're right. The Dayuan army is too strong. If the Grand Marshal is truly capable, he will never let them go around the rear."
“Surrendering now will at least protect all officers and our troops.
We don't have many troops available at home right now, how can we resist the enemy?"
After most of the officials in the department discussed it.
The King of Annan also felt that the chances of winning were very slim.
In order to preserve his wealth and status, he decided to immediately send an envoy to surrender the Dayuan army.
He also sent someone to deliver an imperial edict to the marshal, ordering him to surrender immediately.
This battle is simply impossible to fight.
If we continue fighting, we will die.
The Annan court had a beautiful idea. They thought that as long as they surrendered, paid compensation, and paid tribute every year, they could maintain peace.
The envoy they sent out was encountered by cavalry on the way. After reporting to Zhao Wudi, he was killed immediately.
Li Ye had anticipated this situation and was determined not to accept Annan's surrender.
The messenger who asked the army to surrender was also robbed and killed.
Li Ye received the news and sneered: "Annan is really shameless!
When they had the upper hand, they burned, killed and looted the people of Dayuan.
When Ruo was defeated, he actually surrendered with a flattering face.
You killed so many people in Dayuan, how could I let you go so easily?"
"You're right. The small country of Annan is so bold as to dare to lay hands on the Dayuan Dynasty. We must destroy it!
Over the years, the imperial court has focused its energy on dealing with the northern countries.
It’s good enough that we didn’t bully them!
They actually dared to move and seek death, so let them do it!"
Ruyuejun㹏 was filled with anger when he thought of the people who were killed.
The Kingdom of Annan is so hateful that it cannot be forgiven.
"Don't worry, wait until all of Annan's powerful troops are annihilated, and then we can slowly deal with them."
Li Ye drank tea leisurely.
The company continuously transported back a large amount of combat resources.
At the same time, the valuables seized were transported and sold.
You can make a lot of money by doing this.
As long as there are enough weapons, it will be much easier to attack the city.
Li Ye had already summoned a large number of craftsmen and asked them to build siege weapons.
Prepare to wipe out the entire country of Annan.
Qin Qingxue fought a fierce battle with the Annan army, and neither side gained any advantage.
Retreat and rest first, and then continue the battle after dinner.
Qin Qingxue was quite surprised by the tenacity of the Annan army.
After fighting for so long, the casualties on both sides were similar.
But the biggest problem was that they were besieged in the city and the enemy could obtain supplies continuously.
If the battle is delayed for too long, once the food in the city is consumed, the situation will be very unfavorable.
"I really underestimated the commander of Annan. His ability to lead troops in battle is not bad at all.
There is no flaw in the defense.
We must think of a better way to break through their defenses." Qin Qingxue frowned, unable to think of a way to break through.
"Don't worry, we are fully prepared!
The food and supplies in the city can last at least two months!
The Kingdom of Annan had several cities looted by Li Ye's army, so they must have suffered better than us.
If they keep consuming energy like this, they will definitely be able to hold on!"
Shi Wushuang said comfortingly.
"We can't delay it too long! As the saying goes, the first push is strong, the second weakens, and the third is exhausted. If we continue to be trapped in the city, it will affect the morale of our army.
Moreover, it has been delayed for too long and I cannot do the job for Your Majesty."
Shi Wushuang smiled and said, “The enemy has made many large shields, which have rendered our crossbows and bows useless.
This is the reason why we have been unable to conquer it for so long!
The best way is to make more catapults. Shields can block arrows but cannot block large stones.
This weapon will surely break through the enemy's defenses."
Qin Qingxue's eyes lit up when she heard this: "You're right, it's indeed a good idea."
"Come on, build two hundred catapults as quickly as possible. They must be able to throw a catapult a hundred steps away.
It must be completed within three days!"
After giving the order, Qin Qingxue was still a little worried.
He said, "Do you think Li Ye can escape the enemy's pursuit?
I've been feeling a bit restless these past few days! I always feel like something bad is going to happen."
"Don't worry, I've already sent disciples from Yunlu Pavilion to investigate! I'll be notified immediately of any news.
Besides, no matter where Li Ye escapes to, the Annan army will be able to catch up."
A grim look appeared on Shi Wushuang's face.
Qin Qingxue was slightly stunned and instantly understood Shi Wushuang's plan.
He had sent people to assassinate Li Ye, pretending that he was killed by the Annan army.
Qin Qingxue also acquiesced to his actions.
After all, Li Ye's existence has seriously threatened her position.
Even at the risk of being punished by the emperor, he must kill Li Ye.
The two were planning how to continue dealing with the Annan army.
A spy came over quickly.
Deliver a secret letter to Shi Wushuang.
Shi Wushuang immediately perked up and said to Qin Qingxue happily, "The address of Yunlu Pavilion has been sent."
"Really? It must be good news! Come and take a look!"
Shi Wushuang opened the secret letter and just took a look at it, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
Became extremely gloomy.
"What happened? Did Li Ye escape?" Qin Qingxue realized that something was wrong and asked quickly.
Shi Wushuang's face was full of disbelief as he handed the secret letter to Qin Qingxue.
His back teeth were almost broken. "How is this possible? The secret letter said that Li Ye actually led his army to defeat the Annan army and annihilated more than 10,000 enemies.
He even led his army to occupy the Annan border and annihilated 20,000 Annan defenders.
How did he do it?
Could the disciple who was investigating the news have made a mistake?"
