"I tried my best!"
He muttered to himself, and knocked down another Di soldier with the Embroidered Spring Sword in his hand, and then was pierced through the body by several spears at the same time!
The tall body shook violently, then slowly fell down, his eyes wide open, looking in the direction of Shuozhou City, and died.
Until his death, he never gave way to the city gate!
The commander was killed in battle, and the remaining defenders let out their final wail, fighting to the last man!
After holding out for several days, Jingbian Military Town finally fell due to the powerful attack of the Tartars!
Wuliangha stepped on the corpses all over the ground and finally entered the castle, which cost him a heavy price.
Zhendi Fort, Jingbian Military Town, Wuzhou City and Shuozhou City.
Even if Shuozhou was captured, there was still the mighty city of Jinyang.
Why was it so difficult for him to advance southwards?
Looking at Zhong Dahu's unyielding corpse at the city gate, his eyes were complicated.
There was anger, shock, and also a subtle admiration.
"He's a real man... give him a proper burial."
He waved his hand and then looked towards the south. "Send the order! Rest for half a day! Tomorrow, the troops will march out of Wuzhou City and attack Shuozhou directly!"
Almost at the same time that Jingbian Military Town fell, outside Wuzhou City.
Shi Yong, Xi Sheng, Zhong Meng and others dragged their tired and injured bodies and finally saw the outline of Wu Zhou City.
However, the scene before them made their hearts sink!
Outside the Wu Zhou city, a large group of Tartar cavalry appeared!
Judging from the flags, it is not the main force of the Uriankhai, but a detachment that has infiltrated from other directions, and seems to be testing the possibility of attacking the city!
"Oh no! Tartars have appeared in Wuzhou City!" Shi Yong's face changed drastically.
"What should we do?" Xi Sheng gripped his Mo Dao tightly. Although he was severely exhausted, his fighting spirit was still there.
Zhong Meng's eyes were red as he looked at the Di people's flags fluttering in the distance. Thinking that the news of his father's martyrdom might come soon, he was filled with grief and anger:
"Go ahead! Fight these Tartars!"
"Don't be reckless!"
Shi Yong remained relatively calm. He carefully observed the size and movements of the Tartar cavalry. "They don't seem to be many. They seem to be conducting reconnaissance."
"Wuzhou City has been well-prepared, so it shouldn't be a problem. We can't charge headfirst, or we'll be caught between them and the main force of the Tartars behind us!"
He pondered for a moment, a ruthless look flashing in his eyes. "Take a detour! Go through the dense forests and hills to the west!"
"I know a small path used by herbalists that might lead us to the southwest corner of Wuzhou City, avoiding the eyes and ears of the Di people!"
"There's a hidden water gate there!"
With no other choice, everyone immediately followed Shi Yong, enduring the pain and fatigue, and entered the barren forest.
…
At the same time, thousands of miles away in Yanyun.
The elite troops of the five battalions of the capital, led by Yang Dingguo, after several days of rapid march, suddenly appeared near Heifengzhai, an important logistics base of Beidi Zuoxian King, like a divine army descending from the sky.
The main force of Zuo Xian Wang was attacking Youzhou fiercely, and they never expected that such a large elite force of Yin Army would appear behind them!
The defenders of Black Wind Village were caught off guard!
Yang Dingguo seized the opportunity and without hesitation ordered Li Chenghua to launch a fierce attack immediately!
The five battalions of the capital, which had traveled a long distance, suddenly burst out with amazing fighting power.
They stormed the Black Wind Village in just half a day, annihilated more than 3,000 Tartar defenders, and seized mountains of food, fodder, and weapons!
When the news reached Youzhou City, Zuo Xian Wang was horrified. His rear was destroyed, all his food and grass were lost, and the morale of his army was instantly shaken!
In Youzhou City, the defenders who had long been in despair learned that reinforcements had arrived and that the surprise attack had been successful. They immediately burst into thunderous cheers and their morale was greatly boosted!
Li Chenghua and Yang Dingguo did not delay and held the Black Wind Village, cutting off Zuo Xianwang's return route and food supply, causing great shock to Zuo Xianwang.
King Zuo Xian is in an unprecedented predicament!
There is a strong city in front that cannot be conquered for a long time, and there are elite troops behind that are eyeing us covetously, and the food and grass are cut off!
He had to order an end to the siege and summon his advisers and subordinates to discuss countermeasures.
However, at this moment!
Scouts reported that the peace negotiation delegation sent by the new Emperor of Dayin, headed by the Minister of Rites Su Yayan, had arrived twenty miles south of Youzhou!
