Zhang Shicheng was anxious to return to defend Longping Prefecture, and after chatting with Zhang Wuji for a few words, he left.
After he left, Yin Yewang and Yang Xiao jumped down from the city wall.
Yin Yewang said: "Master, Zhang Shicheng is also a master. Even after all this, he still hasn't forgotten to give you a gift."
Zhang Wuji smiled slightly and said: "Zhang Shicheng is a great hero after all. Most of his territories are in the richest places in Jiangnan. This little money is nothing to him. If you give it to me, it can also be a personal favor to me. Why not do it?"
"I just want Zhang Shicheng not to lose too badly when he returns to defend Longping Prefecture. It would be best if he and Zhao Min could both suffer losses."
"Otherwise, after Zhao Min has dealt with Zhang Shicheng, she will come to attack my Xuzhou. At that time, another big war is inevitable."
…
On the other side, outside the city of Longping Prefecture.
Zhao Min's army has been assembled.
A full 150,000 people covered the sky and the sun, and the gleaming scimitars made people dare not look directly at them.
The garrison commander of Longping Prefecture was also Zhang Shicheng's capable general. His name was Song Yiyong. Over the years, he had followed Zhang Shicheng in his campaigns, and his military achievements were second only to Nie Qu.
Although Song Yiyong had unparalleled combat experience, he was still a little confused when facing 150,000 enemy troops.
Especially the one with the golden mask on his face.
Who in this world doesn’t know now that the person behind the mask is Zhao Min, the Queen Mother of the Yuan Empire?
Although Song Yiyong was also a talented general, he still felt guilty when facing Zhao Min.
With the age of just over 20, Zhao Min defeated all the rebel kings in the world.
Every victory was a big one.
Now that her 150,000-strong army is at the gates of the city, how could Song Yiyong not feel guilty?
…
Zhao Min, who was standing under the city, had already drawn the sword in her hand, and the sound of dragon roar instantly reached the ears of her soldiers.
Zhao Min looked at the Yuan soldiers behind her with her stern eyes.
"Soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty, the city in front is Longping Prefecture, which is the lair of the rebel king Zhang Shicheng."
"Taking this city is equivalent to cutting off Zhang Shicheng's arm."
"For many years, there have been rebel kings everywhere in the world. Those rebel kings have been saying that the generals and soldiers of our Yuan Dynasty have lost their former glory."
"Look at the scimitars in your hands. Your ancestors used the same scimitars to create a vast world for you."
"But look at the Yuan Dynasty today. I don't ask you to expand the territory like our ancestors did, but at the very least, you must be able to use the scimitar in your hand to protect the foundation left by our ancestors."
"Sons of the Yuan Dynasty, raise the scimitars in your hands and let your ancestors see, let the great Genghis Khan see that his descendants, even today, are still worthy of his pride in you."
…
"The soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty took Longping Prefecture in one fell swoop."
Zhao Min's eloquence is no worse than Zhang Wuji's. With the simplest words, she raised the morale of the army behind her to the highest peak.
Under Zhao Min's command, hundreds of ladders rushed forward like a tidal wave.
Zhao Min, the empress dowager of the Yuan Dynasty, was just like Zhang Wuji. She held the sword of the Heavenly Sword and led the charge towards Longping Mansion.
Song Yiyong, the defender of Longping Prefecture, quickly ordered his troops to shoot arrows, but the rain of arrows did not stop the Yuan army.
The first person to attack the city wall of Longping Prefecture was Zhao Min.
Following behind her were Duan Zihao, the two Xuanming elders and many other masters.
Zhang Shicheng's army left behind in Longping Prefecture only had 50,000 to 60,000 troops, and Zhao Min's fierce attack threw them into chaos in an instant.
Who is Zhao Min? She is the Empress Dowager of the Yuan Empire. She leads the charge, and the soldiers behind her dare not not follow her to the death.
In less than a quarter of an hour, thousands of Yuan soldiers had attacked the city walls of Longping Prefecture.
When Zhao Min saw this, she knew that the matter was settled.
She personally commanded a team of about two hundred people and charged towards the city gate.
Song Yiyong was a little confused. This was the first time in his life that he had seen such a desperate attack.
…
Zhao Min's cultivation was already very high, and with the sword in her hand that could cut through iron like mud, Zhao Min was like a fish in water in Song Yiyong's army. Wherever she passed, there were only broken limbs and wailing sounds on the ground.
Seeing this, Song Yiyong became even more panicked.
The Yuan army outside the city was in high spirits. If the city gate was lost at this moment, Longping Prefecture would be finished.
Song Yiyong quickly commanded his army to resist, but no matter how many soldiers he sent, he could only delay Zhao Min's pace.
…
A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Min finally reached the city gate.
Behind her, there were piles of corpses, and the team of 200 people led by Zhao Min was almost dead.
Duan Zihao on the side shouted loudly: "Queen Mother, please open the city gate quickly and leave the things behind to me."
Zhao Min didn't waste any words and finished it. After a few soldiers guarding the city, the gate of Longping Mansion was finally within her reach.
A gate pillar as thick as a man sealed the gate of Longping Prefecture tightly.
Even the Yuan army outside could only raise a wisp of dust no matter how hard they hit.
Zhao Min concentrated her energy on her dantian and tightly grasped the sword with both hands.
ah……
With a delicate cry, she swung her sword with both hands, and the gate pillar, as thick as a person, was cut in half.
In an instant, the Yuan soldiers outside poured into Longping Prefecture like a tide.
The sound of fighting has resounded through the sky.
Song Yiyong thought to himself, "Longping Prefecture is finished."
Now that things have come to this, resistance is futile.
Song Yiyong quickly commanded his soldiers to fight to the death to break out. Although the city was lost, the soldiers were not completely wiped out.
…
An hour later, Zhao Min's soldiers wiped out the rebels in the city.
Longping Prefecture was recovered by Zhao Min for the first time since it was captured by Zhang Shicheng six years ago.
…
After leading the fight for more than an hour, Zhao Min, as a woman, was already a little tired.
Just when she was sitting aside to rest, Duan Zihao hurried over and asked: "Empress Dowager, although Longping Prefecture has been captured, there are still nearly 20,000 rebels who broke out. Should we chase them?"
After taking two breaths, Zhao Min said: "How can we not chase them? The Yuan Dynasty has long been at odds with the various rebel kings."
"Letting anyone go will lead to endless troubles."
Zhao Min stood up and led a war horse over: "Mr. Duan, I'm a little tired. You personally lead 30,000 cavalry to wipe out the rebels who broke out. Make sure to wipe them out completely."
Duan Zihao quickly bowed and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will kill all these rebels without leaving a single one alive."
