Yangcheng could not hold out for long, but with their full strength, it still managed to hold out for more than a day.
During this day and more, the Miao Kingdom also lost a lot of people! But compared with their army, this loss can be ignored.
After all, there were too many of them, and most of those charging in the front were soldiers from Shu.
For the high priest, as long as the Miao army did not suffer too many casualties, he would not care at all!
The Shu soldiers that King Nannan led his men to seek refuge with were nothing but a bunch of cowards and fence-sitters, and were not welcome at all in the eyes of the high priest.
He even thought that it would be better if all these people died!
Because the number of soldiers and horses under the command of King Nannan is decreasing, he can no longer pose any threat, especially since 30% of the land has already been taken.
The role of King Nannan is minimal, and there is no need for him to show the way, I can fight on my own.
The King of Nannan has become more and more arrogant recently, and has been expressing different opinions from him. The high priest feels that no one can question him since he is challenging his authority!
“…”
Seeing that Yangcheng was about to be captured, the city's chief defense commander, General Zhang, saw that the time had come and directly led the army, shouting loudly: "Retreat!"
"retreat!"
"Retreat!"
For a moment, we had no intention of fighting and directly led the army to the other side, which is Tianmen Pass.
On the other side, Tianmen Pass was also keeping a close eye on the battle situation at the border, especially the situation inside Yangcheng.
The commander of Tianmen Pass naturally also received the news from the court, so he was waiting for the Shu army to come and surrender to them.
Moreover, the generals of both sides are relatively familiar with each other. They have been living in peace and harmony over the years without any friction. The competition is relatively friendly, so naturally they have a deep impression of each other.
At this time, Wu Huang, the commander of Tianmen Pass, looked into the distance and saw that the city gate on their side had been opened and the army had retreated to his side.
After he saw the flag clearly, he shouted to the people.
"When they get close, open the city gate and let them in!"
"Yes, General."
"How long will it take for the imperial army to arrive?"
"General, the imperial army will probably arrive this evening."
"good."
Wu Huang was also relieved because he had learned early on that the Miao Kingdom was going to attack their Great Zhou, and he had been very nervous, fearing that something unexpected would happen.
What can the 20,000 soldiers under his command do? Usually they just train in the business, and most of the time they spend planting vegetables and digging the ground.
In terms of combat capability, they are actually quite weak. After all, they are not as tough as the grassland border.
"General, do you think that with the imperial army arriving, we will definitely be able to defeat the Miao Kingdom? It seems that the one leading the army this time is Eunuch Lu."
Wu Huang shook his head. "I don't know, but I've heard that this Eunuch Lu is very powerful. He can increase the number of soldiers. He is indeed a rare talent. I also heard that he fights in a very methodical way."
"Won't we know when we see him? It must be said that he is indeed very powerful. Although he is a eunuch, his contribution to our Great Zhou is definitely better than those civil servants who only know how to abide by the rules."
“…”
Soon, the Shu generals in Yangcheng fled in large numbers. They still looked well-organized here, and did not look like they had been defeated at all.
After all, they had received this news in advance and knew that they could not win, so they had to escape.
When they saw that the city gate of Tianmen Pass was open, they were overjoyed and walked into Tianmen Pass.
The surrounding army entered the city and closed the city gates to guard this pass!
Wu Huang hurried down and brought the army of nearly 10,000 people to the military camp and settled them down. With so many people, it was natural to plan carefully and no accidents should occur!
"General Zhang!"
"Since you're here, we're all friends and allies. Your soldiers are my soldiers, but there's one thing we have to agree on: during this time, your soldiers absolutely cannot clash with us."
Wu Huang was relatively smart. He knew that when so many armies were put together, there would inevitably be some minor friction. They were allies now, and this kind of situation must not happen.
If you restrain your soldiers, the probability of this situation happening is relatively low.
"General Wu, please rest assured. Since we are allies, my soldiers will naturally not do anything out of line. I also hope that your soldiers will not despise us."
"We will divide ourselves into two camps and keep to ourselves, not interfering with each other."
"By the way, when will your army arrive? We are still waiting for the counterattack."
“It’s almost there.”
“…”
At this time, in the Great Zhou Palace.
Ever since Ye Jiajia disguised herself as the emperor, she has been very excited and a little thrilled.
She never imagined that a woman like herself could become an emperor one day, even though she was a fake. Of course, she did not have such ambition and ambition.
"Lu Yun, really, I'm staying here alone, I just hope you can be safe."
Ye Jiajia's strength has not yet recovered. For some reason, this injury is so serious.
Even after taking so many tonics, she still didn't recover. This might be because of the special nature of the technique.
But he had a premonition that as long as he could return to his peak strength this time and become a grandmaster again, he would definitely be able to become stronger.
At this time, a eunuch walked into the hall and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen has asked me to bring you a message."
Ye Jiajia couldn't help but roll her eyes. She had already said that she was in seclusion here, so why was she still bothering her?
"Ahem..." Ye Jiajia pretended to be Liang Jing's voice and asked, "What's the matter? Didn't I already tell you? No one is allowed to come in during this period."
"Your Majesty, the Queen said she has a stomachache and there might be something wrong with the fetus. Please go and take a look."
Ye Jiajia hastily refused. She absolutely couldn't go. Wouldn't she be exposed if she went? The Queen was quite familiar with the Emperor. If she saw through her, she would be doomed.
"No."
"I told you not to bother me unless it's something important. This isn't anything important."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After a while, the virtuous concubine Chen Yuan'er also came to the hall, but she was allowed in, which surprised the eunuch.
What's wrong with Your Majesty? He is now so fond of Concubine Xian.
In fact, one of the important reasons why Chen Yuan'er was able to come in openly was that she knew that the real emperor had followed Lu Yun to the battlefield, and the person who stayed now was Ye Jiajia.
The two of them are quite familiar with each other, so there is naturally no problem.
