Asinwei did not answer her, but lowered his eyes in thought.
He knew that the best thing to do now was to call off the troops and return to Yuelin, but as Ruan Hezhu said, once he went back, he would definitely lose his power.
If they stayed here and waited for the Northern Wei to arrive, they would attack them first when they were off guard. With the bombs, they would definitely win.
With the logistical support from the Northern Wei, it was not impossible for them to survive the winter and attack the Northern Wei.
Whether to preserve the existing strength or fight to the death, this is a decision he needs to make.
He did not immediately agree to Ruan Hezhu, but instead sent people to inquire about the situation in Yuelin Capital.
Sure enough, when the king learned that he had failed in his attack on Yonglu Pass, he became furious and scolded him in front of all the civil and military officials.
It also indicates that he will be punished when he returns to the court.
He smiled bitterly. The king could not see what he had done for Yuelin over the years. Without him, Yuelin would still be a small country surviving in the cracks, and there would be no prosperity as it is now.
But just because of one defeat, the king wants to erase all his achievements. It's really hateful.
At the same time, he also understood that, as Ruan Hezhu said, he couldn't just go back like this.
He must win. If he can't take down the Yuan Dynasty, then he can take down the Northern Wei Dynasty.
He just didn't believe that the Northern Wei Dynasty was protected by gods.
After figuring it out, he stopped attacking Yonglu Pass vigorously, but occasionally asked people to shout a few times in front of the formation to pretend that he wanted to fight.
Most of the troops were resting, conserving their strength, and waiting for the arrival of the Northern Wei.
To fight against the Northern Wei, they must take them by surprise and defeat them in one fell swoop. Otherwise, when Jiang Weizhen and King Xuanyang react and surround them, it will be difficult for them to escape.
Three days later, King Xuanyang arrived at Yonglu Pass with an army of 200,000.
The Northern Wei army of 500,000, plus excessive baggage, would arrive a day late.
When Prince Xuan Yang arrived at the military camp and learned about the night attack, he was also thrilled, but fortunately he survived.
Otherwise, by the time he arrives, it will be too late.
"Once the Northern Wei arrives, we will discuss tactics and capture Yuelin in one fell swoop."
Jiang Weizhen had long guessed that Asinwei would not retreat. He had finally come to this day and he could not afford to fail. Coupled with Ruan Hezhu's encouragement, he would definitely stay.
After observing for a few days, he found that Asinwei had lost his determination to take over Yonglu Pass.
He guessed that Asinwei should be targeting the Northern Wei Dynasty.
He had bombs in his hands, and the Northern Wei Dynasty had no cities to protect it, so he was so confident.
But he had calculated everything, except that he didn't expect that the bomb in his hand had been destroyed.
Although only half of Jiang Dingbei's weapons were destroyed, the remaining half was almost used up in the Battle of Yonglu Pass that night.
Next, Asinwei had no secret weapons to use.
…
As soon as Guo Muhuai arrived at Yonglu Pass, he couldn't wait to find Jiang Qingwan.
After three or four days of rest, Jiang Qingwan has woken up.
Unlike the previous times when she saved people, her magic power would increase every time she woke up. However, this time, because she was against the heroine and used magic power to harm ordinary people, the magic power she had cultivated with great difficulty was actually weakened by half.
However, fortunately she protected her family, so she felt it was worth it even if she lost all her magic power.
Magical powers can be cultivated again, but her family’s lives only come once.
Looking at the Crown Prince of Northern Wei standing beside her, she knew that he had many doubts, and she also discovered that he was peeking outside the door that night.
But she didn't stop it. Her soul had already left her body at that time, so there was no way to stop it.
However, after spending these few days together, she knew that the Crown Prince of Northern Wei was a man of his own opinions and ideas, and they were also close friends, so he would not speak nonsense.
The Crown Prince of Northern Wei kept guarding her but did not ask any questions.
Both of them tacitly agreed not to mention what happened that night.
When Guo Muhuai arrived, he found that the Crown Prince of Northern Wei was with Jiang Qingwan.
All his joy was extinguished at this moment, and he looked at the Crown Prince of Northern Wei gloomily.
Seeing this, Yu Shulan hurriedly sent the Crown Prince of Northern Wei away and gave the space to Guo Muhuai.
Jiang Qingwan looked at his cold and stubborn little face, feeling somewhat helpless, even though Guo Muhuai looked no different from an ordinary person now.
But his soul has not been restored yet, and he is stubborn in everything he thinks.
"I've been practicing well recently."
Jiang Qingwan praised in a low voice, saying that Guo Muhuai's magic power was almost catching up with hers.
If this continues, she, as the master, will lose all her dignity.
"You're hurt."
Facing her, Guo Muhuai couldn't get angry. He spoke with some grievance, as if he was an abandoned puppy.
Jiang Qingwan stretched out her little hand, and he immediately offered his head.
"I'm fine. The Northern Wei prince is also our good friend. You don't have to be so hostile to him."
"He's different from the two of us."
Hearing this, Guo Muhuai immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly, "It's different."
The Crown Prince of Northern Wei didn't care. Although he was the same age as Guo Muhuai, he did not have his childish mentality.
He respected and admired Jiang Qingwan, and had no possessiveness towards her.
When he learned that Guo Muhuai was the son of Prince Xuanyang, he couldn't help but show sympathy.
The dignified King Xuanyang, a god of war, but his only child looks like this. How can we not feel sorry for him?
I'm afraid there will be no successor to Yanzhou.
Moreover, the Northern Wei army will come to pick him up tomorrow.
He probably won't have the chance to meet them again.
next day
The Northern Wei army had just set up camp and had not yet had time to pick up their prince.
They were attacked by the Yuelin Kingdom.
Everything happened so fast that the Northern Wei soldiers were thrown into chaos in an instant. Fortunately, the general who was guarding the country was experienced.
He quickly stabilized the situation and rushed to the front with his personal guards to confront Asinwei head-on.
"Asinwei, you really think you are invincible. Do you know that you are courting death?"
The great general guarding the country, holding a spear, is imposing.
It would have been fine if Asinwei had just fought against some small countries in the past to expand the territory of Yuelin Kingdom.
Now they have turned their attention to their great country and even dared to kidnap their prince. This is simply despicable and hateful.
"It's not certain who will seek his own death."
Asinwei snorted coldly, "It is you, the Northern Wei, who broke your promise and actually assisted the Yuan Dynasty in besieging Yuelin. If that is the case, then this prince will start with you, the Northern Wei."
"What a big tone."
The great general guarding the country's face turned stern, thinking that he was a vegetarian.
Asinwei didn't want to say any more nonsense. He was afraid that Jiang Weizhen and others would get the news and rush over to support him.
He had to fight quickly, so he waved his hand to let the front row of infantry fall back.
Then someone sent a truck full of bombs.
"General, do you know what this is?"
