Outside Yunzhou City, a dark mass of Mongol troops stood ready for an attack, their momentum overwhelming.
"Your Highness, when shall we attack?" The Mongolian general tightened the reins and respectfully asked the man in silver armor in the middle.
"Wait a minute, no rush. We'll make our move after Prince An of Yin makes his move." Meng Shang looked at the capital city with great interest. This time, let's see how Ji Mohan will handle it. After fighting for so many years, we can finally take Yunzhou.
"Your Highness, why are the Mongols just staying put instead of attacking?" Wei Ting asked in confusion. These bastards, they were all prepared to fight, but the other side was slow to attack.
Ji Mohan frowned as he looked at the Mongol merchant standing in the middle of the Mongol officials below the city. There must be a trap. Perhaps he was waiting for something? What exactly was he waiting for?
Suddenly, Ji Mohan's eyes darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "Wei Ting, listen to my order, lead three thousand personal guards to Huangzhou and assist the Crown Prince in capturing Huangzhou."
He had a bad feeling that the Mongol merchants must have colluded with Uncle An.
Wei Ting looked up in shock and said, "Your Highness, you mean... Your Highness, I will stay here with you and let Song Jue go to Huangzhou." Wei Ting said sincerely, because there are no eyes on the battlefield and he must be by the prince's side to protect him at all times.
"Wei Ting, military orders are absolute. You should go now. I'll stay with the Prince." Song Jue stepped forward and patted Wei Ting's arm to comfort him.
Wei Ting looked up at Ji Mohan and realized that the prince was determined to send him to Huangzhou. With red eyes, he could only say helplessly, "Yes, Your Highness, I obey."
With the Mongol army looming menacingly below the city walls, and their sheer numbers promising a fierce battle, the prince's decision to send 3,000 troops to reinforce Huangzhou only exacerbated the already dire situation in this war against the Mongols.
After listening to Wei get up, he turned around and started to walk away. After taking two steps, he stopped and tilted his head slightly to the back. There was still no sound of him trying to stop him or changing his mind, so he had no choice but to stride away.
"Your Highness, why did you send Wei Ting away? You could have..." asked Yunlong, puzzled.
Song Jue interrupted, "Yunlong, how dare you or I question the Prince's decision!"
Ji Mohan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Wei Ting is still young." Among them, Wei Ting was the youngest, only seventeen years old. He had a brighter future ahead of him.
This battle was extremely dangerous. The Mongol Empire harbored wolfish ambitions and had gathered an army of 50,000 men outside the city, while the garrison in Yunzhou numbered only 30,000.
After leaving the government office, Yan Wan walked towards the military camp. The windows and doors of the houses on the street were all closed, and the once bustling street was now rather deserted.
After entering the military camp, Yan Wan went directly to Ji Mohan's tent, but did not find him. She asked the guards at the gate and learned that Ji Mohan was currently on the city gate tower.
"System, are you there?" Yan Wan called out to the system in her mind.
"Host, I'm here!" the system's cute voice rang out.
"System, I want a full set of armor, just like the ones ordinary soldiers wear," Yan Wan said, unsure if the system could grant her wish.
"Host, the armor you need requires points earned from completing missions. Do you wish to redeem it?"
Yan Wan then remembered that in addition to the genuine material rewards she received for completing tasks, she also received points. Now that she was about to leave, there was no point in keeping the points. "Yes, I agree to redeem them."
"Okay, host, the exchange was successful. Please accept the reward."
Yan Wan looked at the armor that appeared in front of her and immediately put it on. Suddenly, Yan Wan paused and whispered, "System, do you think that if I use the Life-Swapping Talisman, my soul will be scattered?"
