Besides this, Zhao Min was also aware of it in her heart.
Unlike the Song Dynasty, which was weak, both the Yuan and Ming Dynasties were militarily strong.
Prior to this, conflicts between the two sides had frequently broken out.
It's just that the two sides are evenly matched, and neither can completely cripple the other.
That is why they all decided to attack the weaker Song Dynasty first.
If we could conquer the Song Dynasty, it would give us more strategic depth.
In addition, it can also incorporate various forces from the Song Dynasty.
By then, our overall strength will have greatly increased, and it will no longer be as difficult as before to defeat the opponent.
Unfortunately, the Yuan Dynasty's offensive was thwarted by Wang Yang's sudden emergence.
This outcome is both good and bad for the Ming Dynasty.
The good thing is that the Ming Dynasty doesn't need to worry about the Yuan Dynasty, and it has even gained the upper hand in its struggle with the Yuan Dynasty!
Once we conquer the Song Dynasty, dealing with the Yuan Dynasty will naturally follow.
The bad thing is that the withdrawal of the Yuan army has freed up more manpower for the Song Dynasty to support Tahu City.
This is also why Zhu Di wanted to conquer the city as quickly as possible.
If the Song Dynasty were to fully organize its defenses, their hopes of conquering the Song Dynasty might be dashed!
Zhao Min knew all of this.
Therefore, what she least wanted to see was the Ming Dynasty winning.
"Boom!"
"Kill! Kill!"
"Bang bang bang..."
At this time, the Ming army was still launching continuous attacks on Tahu City.
As before, it was just ordinary soldiers attacking the city; no martial arts masters from the Ming Dynasty were seen.
Wang Yang stood atop the city wall, flanked by three beauties: Zhao Min, Shangguan Haitang, and Zhou Zhiruo.
Yang Guo and Jingxuan from the Emei Sect were also by his side. Seeing the Song and Ming soldiers attacking and defending against each other, they were both eager to join in.
Since the Ming Dynasty was only attacking the city with ordinary soldiers, the Song Dynasty's side seemed to have it easier.
With the help of the soldiers defending the city and some martial arts practitioners, the Ming soldiers were unable to cross the city walls even half a step!
Seeing this, Wang Yang naturally did not make a move.
After all, he is the leader of the martial arts alliance, and this little show of force is not something he can handle.
At that moment, a group of people walked over from not far away.
The leader was none other than Murong Fu from the Murong family of Gusu.
Behind him, the four great retainers, including Bao Butong, remained unchanged for all time.
In addition, there are some martial arts practitioners who have been recruited by him.
At this time, Murong Fu should still be resting during his shift change.
After all, last night, he and Qiao Feng led a team in a night raid on the Ming army camp.
Although the results weren't significant, the back-and-forth was exhausting.
However, for Murong Fu, fatigue was nothing.
As soon as he woke up, he led his men to the city wall without stopping.
His purpose, of course, was to showcase himself, win over the martial arts practitioners present, and build his reputation.
This is to prepare for the future restoration of the Great Yan!
"Um?"
As soon as he stepped onto the city wall, Murong Fu saw Wang Yang and the others.
In particular, seeing the three beauties accompanying Wang Yang made Murong Fu even more resentful.
He paused for a moment, then walked straight toward Wang Yang without stopping.
Approaching, Murong Fu gave a cold laugh and said sarcastically:
"This city wall is currently under fierce attack from the Ming army; it's a dangerous place!"
"Perhaps... Young Master Wang should go back to the inn in the city to rest."
"Otherwise, it would be such a pity if these beautiful women got hurt."
As he spoke, Murong Fu glanced at Shangguan Haitang and the other women, his eyes filled with contempt.
Actually, he was also conflicted.
On the one hand, they slandered Wang Yang in public, saying that Wang Yang did not contribute.
On the other hand, he was also worried after seeing Wang Yang come to the city wall, fearing that Wang Yang would steal his thunder.
Upon hearing what Murong Fu said, his four powerful retainers behind him also burst out laughing:
"What you say is absolutely right, young master!"
"Alliance Leader Wang, why don't you go and enjoy the warmth of your own paradise?"
"This place is not suitable for you!"
"..."
Wang Yang paid no attention to what Murong Fu and the others said, his expression remaining calm as he smiled and said:
"Young Master Murong."
"At the inn earlier, I overheard some people behind my back complaining that I, as the leader of the alliance, wasn't doing my job."
"So I specially brought some people here to help out and shut that scoundrel's mouth. If it weren't for the great enemy at hand, I would have taken action directly."
"Besides, I had already foreseen the Ming army's intentions; they wouldn't launch a real all-out attack in broad daylight."
"That's why I've been conserving my strength, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy!"
After hearing Wang Yang's explanation, Murong Fu was furious, but he dared not show it.
After a moment of silence, he chuckled and said coldly:
"I hope that young hero Wang can show his prowess then, instead of just bragging here."
Before Wang Yang could reply, the White-browed Eagle King, Zhou Dian, and others who were still holding their ground on the city wall arrived.
Even from a distance, they could hear Murong Fu making sarcastic remarks about Wang Yang, which immediately displeased the White-browed Eagle King and the others.
"Murong Fu, you really have a lot of free time on your hands!"
"Does he really think he's someone important?"
"So what if I led a raid on the enemy camp last night?"
"It's one thing to have achieved nothing, but are you really going to pat yourself on the back?"
The White-browed Eagle King didn't give Murong Fu a friendly look.
I've never liked this hypocritical guy before.
Now that he heard Murong Fu openly mocking Wang Yang, how could he possibly hold back?
Zhou Dian, one of the Five Wanderers of the Ming Cult, was even more furious at this moment, glaring directly at Murong Fu and shouting:
"Murong Fu, you're talking nonsense! Can't you speak like a human being?"
"If you were truly capable, you should have wiped out the entire Ming army last night."
"Instead of coming back with those insignificant achievements to show off!"
At this point, Zhou Dian paused slightly, glanced at Wang Yang, and added:
"If it had been Leader Wang who led the attack last night, he would have certainly dealt a heavy blow to the Ming army."
"It's a pity you disturbed them. It will be very difficult to attack them again in the future."
Seeing that White-browed Eagle King and Zhou Dian spoke up for Wang Yang, Murong Fu was furious.
The four retainers behind him stared at the White-browed Eagle King and his men with fierce expressions.
White-browed Eagle King and his companions were not afraid of this.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the two sides looked ready to fight at the slightest disagreement.
After a moment of silence, Murong Fu chuckled and said mockingly:
"Since your Alliance Leader Wang is so capable, he was able to severely damage the Yuan army near Xiangyang City."
"I think he will be able to inflict heavy losses on the Ming army at Tahu City this time."
"Why do you lackeys seem to have no faith in him?"
Upon hearing Murong Fu's words, Zhou Dian immediately flew into a rage.
"Murong Fu!"
"Who the hell are you cursing?"
"You son of a bitch, dressed up like a respectable person, why can't you speak like a human being?"
As he spoke, Zhou Dian rolled up his sleeves, looking ready to make a move.
