The Tianyao Kingdom's palace had already been in chaos.
The invincible Tianyao Army lost!
And lost so completely!
That's a full 100,000 people! Their opponents are only 3,000!
But even so, the 100,000-strong Tianyao Army was defeated and annihilated by the 3,000-strong Daxia Army!
In just two hours, this huge army from the Megalia continent was destroyed.
How did the Great Xia Army do it?
No one could have imagined it, and even many officials still doubt the authenticity of this information.
They stood in the hall and discussed among themselves, no one was willing to face such a result - what did it mean?
This means that Daxia can easily destroy the huge Tianyao Kingdom with only 3,000 soldiers!
The most powerful Tianyao Army is gone, and what's left of Tianyao Kingdom are the city defense forces whose combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the Tianyao Army. If the intelligence from the front line is true... these city defense forces will be even more vulnerable in front of the Daxia Army!
Yesterday we were still discussing how to take over Shangluo Kingdom and how to build it after taking over, but such a huge change happened overnight.
Now no one is thinking about Shangluo Kingdom anymore. The problem now is that the 3,000 soldiers of Daxia are on their way to Tianyao City!
At the latest tomorrow morning, they will arrive at the gates of Tianyao City!
If we still cannot eliminate them, if they take over this city, the Tianyao Kingdom will be destroyed!
The Emperor of Tianyao Kingdom walked into the palace supported by the eunuchs. The ministers then fell silent and looked at the pale-faced Emperor.
He sat on the throne and was silent for a long time, as if he had recovered his breath.
"The Tianyao Army was defeated. I'm sure you all know about it."
"Of the 100,000 Tianyao troops, 70,000 were wiped out by the 3,000 Great Xia troops! The remaining 30,000 are currently retreating to Tianyao City with the Grand Marshal."
"Tianyao City has a garrison of 50,000 soldiers... What I want to ask is, with Tianyao City's sturdy walls, 30,000 Tianyao soldiers, and 50,000 defenders, can they possibly hold off Daxia's 3,000 soldiers?"
The ministers were silent. The 100,000-strong Tianyao Army was defeated, and lost so miserably. This was enough to show the strength of the Daxia Army.
Tianyao City's walls were indeed strong, and they were not short of supplies for defense. The Great Xia army didn't have the ability to scale walls and climb rooftops. They had come from afar, and they didn't have any siege equipment...
"Your Majesty, I believe that not only can we rely on the city walls to defend Tianyao City, we can even drag the Great Xia army to death beneath them!"
An old official stepped forward, bowed, and said, "The Great Xia Army has no backup, let alone supplies. They are an isolated force deep within our country!"
"As long as we defend the city walls with all our might, they won't have a chance to climb up, much less destroy, the walls! We just need to hold out for three days. After that, the Great Xia army will run out of ammunition and food, and they will surely retreat."
"When the time comes, our army will leave the city and pursue them. The Great Xia Army will be at the end of its strength. We can destroy them and avenge the Tianyao Army!"
This analysis made perfect sense. In the minds of all the ministers, it was impossible for the enemy to scale a wall more than ten feet high. Therefore, this battle to defend the city was, in fact, a depletion of the Great Xia army's supplies.
They came from afar and certainly did not have much supplies with them. Once they had used up all the supplies, they would have no choice but to withdraw.
This gave Tianyao Kingdom an opportunity to counterattack, and the bodies of these 3,000 Daxia soldiers would definitely remain on the territory of Tianyao Kingdom!
"Do you... have any objections?" His Majesty the Emperor also thought about it carefully and felt that this plan was feasible and the best one at the moment.
"If there are no objections, then do as the Imperial Master says. Prepare sufficient supplies for defending the city, especially kerosene and arrow feathers. I will make sure they never return!"
Tianyao City became nervous.
The people of Tianyao City only then heard the news and realized that the powerful Tianyao Army had been crippled by the Daxia Army!
What the hell is going on?
Could it be that there has been too much peace in recent years and the Tianyao Army has lost its combat effectiveness?
One hundred thousand people!
If they were outside, they would be a huge crowd!
Even if 100,000 people rushed over, they could easily overwhelm the 3,000 Great Xia soldiers. How did they lose? And lose so quickly!
What now?
It's not the time to hold Marshal Ye Feng accountable.
Now we have to defend Tianyao City and keep those damned Daxia people out of Tianyao City. Let them starve to death, die of sleepiness, and freeze to death!
All of a sudden, the people of Tianyao City also took action spontaneously and joined the ranks of defending the city. The city walls were densely packed with people making preparations for defense.
This has never happened in the three hundred years since the founding of Tianyao Kingdom.
In the land of Leah, they are the strongest. Originally, the ones who needed to worry about were Shangluo Kingdom and Shufeng Kingdom, but now, Tianyao City seems to have a feeling that a storm is coming.
This day and night passed like this.
The emperor of Tianyao Kingdom also spent the most anxious day of his life.
The next morning, the cold wind was howling and snowflakes were falling.
The commander of the garrison on the city wall, Alhan, was checking the garrison supplies again when one of his guards suddenly stopped him:
"Commander, look!"
Alhan looked up and saw many people in the wind and snow!
Some of these people were riding horses, while others were running wildly, looking extremely miserable... He took a closer look and saw the man sitting on the leading horse... "Looks like Marshal Ye Feng?"
"Be careful. Wait until they are closer and you can identify them clearly before opening the city gates and letting them in."
A moment later, Ye Feng finally arrived in front of the city gate. He reined in his horse and looked at the tightly closed city gate. He finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was lucky enough to have saved his life!
"Arhan, open the door quickly, I am Marshal Wildwind!"
He is indeed the Grand Marshal. Alhan and his personal guards hurriedly went down the city wall and opened the city gate. Ye Feng led the remaining 30,000 troops into Tianyao City.
"Close the door quickly! The enemy is right behind us and will arrive in about an hour!"
"Grand Marshal, are there really only three thousand enemies?" Arhan asked doubtfully. Ye Feng's face flushed. "Only three thousand, but their weapons are terrifying, like thunderbolts. Their armor is made of who knows what, invulnerable to swords and spears... You must defend this place. I must enter the palace to see the Emperor. These thirty thousand Tianyao soldiers are now under your unified command!"
Ye Feng left again, exhausted. Arhan looked at his back in astonishment. He had no idea what the thunderbolt-like weapon the Grand Marshal had mentioned looked like, and it was even harder for him to imagine someone invulnerable to swords and guns.
"They, can't be killed?" Alhan asked a Tianyao Army soldier in confusion. The soldier's face was filled with fear. "They are demons! They can't be killed at all!"
Is there really someone who can't be killed? How can we defend this city?
"Everyone, get on the wall and fight to defend Tianyao City!"
"Everyone, I'll give you one hour to rest where you are, and then you can go up to the city wall!"
Arhan walked towards the city wall, spat, and muttered viciously: "I've lived half my life, and I've never heard of anyone who can't be killed!"
