The big-bellied prince, filled with despair, waited for Ashilan's performance.
At this point in the battle, anyone with eyes could see that it was impossible for Ashilan to capture Longcheng, but Ashilan just refused to believe it.
In Ashilan's eyes, he almost captured Longcheng before Yang Xiao came back.
After Yang Xiao came back, he only sneak attacked him twice more and achieved two small victories.
I still have 150,000 soldiers and horses on my side. As long as we can advance steadily as before, we will definitely be able to capture Longcheng.
Ashilan started his performance again. At his command, his army once again marched towards Dragon City in an overwhelming manner.
But Dragon City at this moment is no longer the same as before. If Yang Xiao did not want to preserve as much military strength as possible for Zhang Wuji, he would even want to leave the city and have a decisive battle with Ashilan.
On the top of the city wall, Yang Xiao, Yin Yewang and Wei Yixiao sat on three armchairs respectively.
They drank fine wine and enjoyed Ashlan's performance.
At this moment, Longcheng has sufficient military forces and no longer needs the three of them to do it themselves.
After drinking a glass of wine, Wei Yixiao asked Yang Xiao: "General Yang, when do you think the leader will be back?"
Yang Xiao smiled and shook his head: "The leader is elusive and invincible. How can we guess what he is capable of?"
"When the leader left Longcheng, he only led 7,000 cavalrymen. He went on expeditions to Shaanxi and Gansu. Along the way, he attacked cities and captured strongholds while recruiting soldiers. I dare not make any other conclusions, but I can only say that when the leader returns, the number of soldiers under his command should not be less than 200,000."
"When the leader comes back, it will be the time for our Ming Cult to truly dominate the world."
King Yin Ye on the side also hurriedly said: "That's right, when I saw the leader for the first time, I felt that he was no ordinary person. It is only a matter of time before he becomes the emperor. It is a great blessing for us to be by his side and witness the establishment of the Christian empire."
After Yin Yewang said this, Yang Xiao suddenly remembered another thing.
He said to Yin Yewang and Wei Yixiao, "You two, Chen Youliang has now established the Chen Han Dynasty and proclaimed himself the King of Han. Do you know about this?"
Wei Yixiao frowned: "Chen Youliang, Chen Youliang has proclaimed himself king? This is absurd. When the leader comes back, we must persuade him to become king as well."
King Yin Ye smiled and shook his head: "Old bat, you are too petty."
Yang Xiao also followed and said: "That's right, old bat, you are indeed too narrow-minded."
Wei Yixiao was confused for a moment, but then he understood.
Wei Yixiao asked them tentatively, "Do you two mean to let the leader be enthroned as emperor directly?"
Yang Xiao laughed loudly: "You old bat are not so stupid. The leader is a man of great talent and strategy. For a person like the leader, only by ascending to the throne can one match his abilities."
…
Not surprisingly, Ashlan's attack failed again.
She left more than a thousand corpses outside the city.
He angrily said to the soldiers around him: "You bunch of trash, why are you so incompetent? The small Dragon City has delayed us for so long. How can we conquer the world in the future? The beauties in the south of the Yangtze River are still waiting for you to rescue them."
The soldiers under Ashilan no longer wanted to hear the words "Jiangnan beauty" anymore.
They just want to go home now, otherwise, sooner or later everyone will die under this city.
…
Five days later, Yuan Dadu.
At this time, Zhao Min was dressed in red, holding the sword of the Heavenly Sword, waiting ten miles outside the city.
It was not until she saw a wisp of dust in the distance that a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Duan Zihao on the side said: "Empress Dowager, Mr. Han is back."
A moment later, Han Yulou and Wang Baobao came to Zhao Min first.
Han Yulou bowed slightly to Zhao Min.
Wang Baobao, who was standing by, immediately knelt down on the ground and said, "Wang Baobao, I pay my respects to the Queen Mother."
Zhao Min slowly raised her jade hand and softly said the word "rise".
After Wang Baobao stood up, Zhao Min said to her: "The danger of Dadu was lifted when you returned. Chen Youliang withdrew his troops ten days ago."
Wang Baobao quickly said: "The crisis in Dadu can be resolved thanks to the Queen Mother's courage, and it has nothing to do with us."
Zhao Min laughed a few times: "General Wang is becoming more and more eloquent."
Then, Zhao Min looked at Han Yulou again: "Master, how many people are there in the team behind you?"
Han Yulou said: "Your Majesty, this team is only the vanguard of our 600,000-strong army in Jiangnan. It has about 100,000 men, and most of them are under the command of General Wang."
Zhao Min smiled slightly and said, "Okay." Then she took out a token from her arms.
"Master, this is the general order of our Yuan Dynasty. With this token, everyone from generals to ordinary soldiers must obey your orders. If anyone dares to disobey the order, you can take his head directly. Don't show mercy."
Han Yulou was a little surprised, and he quickly said: "Empress Dowager, this, this is against the rules."
Zhao Min sneered: "Rules. The Yuan Dynasty has become like this. What are the rules to talk about? If I tell you to take it, just take it."
Han Yulou was so moved by such trust that he felt like crying.
After Han Yulou took the token, Zhao Min instructed him again: "Master, I have to go to Longcheng now. I can't bear it any longer."
