After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Yu Ping immediately wrote a memorial and sent it back to the capital of Dagan as quickly as possible.
His action this time was ordered by Jiang Wan'er herself.
If this were not the case, he would not have sent troops.
He knew that Zhao Hao was very strong.
Therefore, if he could avoid a confrontation with Zhao Hao, he would not choose to offend Zhao Hao.
However, the imperial edict had to be obeyed.
Now that he has lost the fight, he still has to take the initiative to apologize. This is like shutting up a dog.
If you don't take the initiative to apologize, do you still dare to challenge His Majesty?
I said I didn't want to fight, but you forced me to fight. Now look, I lost the fight, and lost so miserably.
If he really dares to say that, then he will never be well again.
This kind of responsibility, shouldn't I take the initiative to shoulder it on behalf of Your Majesty?
Soon, the memorial was sent back to the imperial capital.
When Jiang Waner saw the battle report, her face looked even uglier than if she had eaten a dead child.
More than a hundred warships attacked in the middle of the night, but were eventually defeated.
However, when she saw that the Democratic Alliance Army had placed the sky-blasting cannon on the warship, she couldn't help but take a breath.
She knew without even thinking that this must be Zhao Hao's trick.
That damn guy always does things that are unexpected but effective.
But that's nothing.
In that case, let him live a little longer.
After she has dealt with the Wu Kingdom and Southern Chu, she can follow suit and place the sky-blasting cannon on the warships.
When that time comes, how can he resist?
One day, she will get what she wants.
Let that guy kneel in front of you and shed tears of regret.
At this time, Xiao Chuyun's memorial also arrived from Shu Kingdom.
In order to quickly take control of the situation in Shu, she has ordered Xiao Chuyun to carry out a bloody massacre against some forces in Shu that are still resisting.
Especially in the southeast of Shu, four large cities were massacred in succession, killing hundreds of thousands of people.
As a result, everyone in Shu, whether nobles or common people, were all shocked.
There is no more resistance.
In this way, another half a year passed. After Da Gan completely pacified the Kingdom of Shu, he finally deployed all his forces and launched a war of annihilation against the Kingdom of Wu.
An army of 250,000 directly invaded the State of Wu.
Xie Daoxun, the female prime minister of Wu, and Xiaoyao King of Shu were stationed at the front line to command the battle.
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle in Xingcheng.
In the major operations, hundreds of blasters were mobilized.
As the defending side, they are not much behind.
There is no shortage of sky rockets, after all, we have invited in the power of the Three Kingdoms.
The two sides launched a crazy battle against Xingcheng.
Xingcheng was an extremely large and strong city in the northern part of the Wu State.
In the past year, it has been continuously reinforced, so it is very difficult to break through.
However, under the baptism of countless artillery shells, it soon turned into ruins.
The people in the city also continued to die.
Fortunately, Xie Daoxun had made preparations in advance and had already relocated a large number of people in the city.
Only a small number of people who were unable to leave, or who were determined not to leave, stayed.
Otherwise, under the continuous bombardment from both sides, there would be rivers of blood.
As the sky bombardments fired at each other, both sides soon suffered losses.
Especially for the defenders in Xingcheng, the sky bombers on the city were in fixed positions, making them easier to be hit.
However, Xie Daoxun had obviously already prepared for this aspect.
She was already outside the city and had made arrangements.
When the turret of the sky-blasting cannon was destroyed, the huge cannon she placed outside the city also destroyed the sky-blasting cannon position of the Dagan Army in one fell swoop.
However, Xingcheng was reduced to ruins. Not only the city gate, but even the tall and sturdy city walls had several holes blown out.
The Dagan army, especially the cavalry at the front, under the command of Xiao Chuyun, rushed into the city like a whirlwind and engaged in street fighting with the coalition forces.
The two sides engaged in close combat inside the city.
The Gan army is more powerful, but the coalition forces have more troops.
For a while, a stalemate situation formed regarding Xingcheng.
In particular, the coalition forces have a better understanding of the situation in Xingcheng and have the help of the people.
During the daytime battle, the Dagan side was able to gain a considerable advantage.
However, once night fell, the coalition forces, under the leadership of the people, would launch an extremely fierce counterattack and retake the lost territory.
This stalemate lasted for more than a month.
Neither side gained any real advantage in Xingcheng.
The number of casualties is also increasing rapidly.
Outside Xingcheng, Xiao Chuyun was eating dinner with the generals around him under the moonlight.
In Xingcheng, the sound of thunder bombs exploding could still be heard at this moment.
One of the generals said: "General, the Wu army is about to be unable to resist. In a few days, we can completely capture Xingcheng."
The Wu army had been continuously increasing its troops every day.
However, in recent days, the speed and number of troop increases have been decreasing.
This shows that Wu Jun had already planned to abandon Xingcheng.
Once we take over Xingcheng and make a big move here, it means we can advance straight ahead.
Xiao Chuyun said: "It's not the time to let your guard down. I'm afraid there is something fishy going on."
When he was conquering the State of Yue, the progress was extremely smooth.
However, at the last moment, he fell into an ambush by Xie Daoxun.
In his heart, he still has great respect for this woman, Xie Daoxun.
This is a being that is good at winning by surprise and hiding its own strategies.
In theory, with the alliance between Wu and Shu, and the presence of Southern Chu in the mix, the coalition's military strength, even if not twice that of Dagan's, is almost the same.
It shouldn't be the case that there is a shortage of troops.
But now, as his subordinates said, the number and speed of daily troop increases are decreasing.
I'm afraid there's something fishy going on here.
His words were not only a warning to his subordinates, but also a warning to himself.
We must never be careless because of this.
Lessons from the past.
In the next few days, the two sides continued to fight repeatedly in the abandoned city of Xingcheng.
However, as time went on, the coalition forces' strength became smaller.
After a lot of hard work, they have gone from occupying less than half of the city to occupying most of it.
Only a small corner of the south city remained, which had not yet been completely conquered.
Such an obvious change not only did not make Xiao Chuyun happy.
On the contrary, he became more cautious in his heart.
In this way, after another three days, the Dagan Army completely occupied the entire city of Xingcheng.
The coalition forces chose to retreat quickly without any delay.
