Chapter 824 Coma (Update 1)
The people around them looked even more puzzled.
"General, what happened? Who sent this message?"
King Yannan pondered for a moment, then decisively tore up the note and opened the bottle again.
There are three pills in total.
He picked one up and threw it into his mouth.
"Why--"
Several people wanted to stop it, but it was too late and they all looked at each other in confusion.
King Yannan saw their worry and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Seeing that he was in normal condition, everyone felt relieved.
Another man looked at the battlefield worriedly, "I wonder how long this battle will last... I originally thought the 30,000 rebels were easy to defeat, but who knew they'd already called for reinforcements! Guan Chun leads 70,000 troops, and his subordinates are all elite soldiers and generals. I'm afraid they'll be difficult to deal with..."
King Nan of Yan glanced at the sky.
Thick gray clouds covered the entire sky, and it seemed like it was going to snow again.
He said in a deep voice,
"Sound the retreat!"
…
Soon, heavy snow fell like goose feathers, and the sky and the earth were covered with a vast expanse of desolate ground.
Inside the tent, the man wearing a silver mask suddenly raised his voice.
"What did you say? King Yannan fell ill?"
"Yes, I heard he wasn't feeling well for the past few days. Yesterday afternoon, he nearly fell off his horse, so he immediately called off the troops and returned to the camp. The military doctor stayed inside all night and didn't come out until this morning. The camp is heavily guarded, and only a few of King Yannan's most trusted confidants are allowed in and out. It seems the situation is not optimistic."
The soldiers who spoke had excitement in their eyes.
"Your Highness, this is our great opportunity!"
The man pondered in silence.
Several generals in the tent had different opinions and started arguing.
"Your Highness, Prince Yannan has always been in good health. How could he suddenly become ill? I'm afraid this is a trick!"
"I don't think so. Prince Yannan was indeed powerful, but that was in the past. How can he compare to the one he was then? Didn't he win and lose in his battles with us along the way? I don't think he's that great!"
"Yes! Opportunities are rare! Your Highness, please make a decision quickly!"
"Kill him while he's ill! Once we enter the capital, they won't be able to tolerate us anymore!"
Several people looked at the man sitting at the top.
He spoke slowly.
"The King of Yannan does have an old illness, and he was previously poisoned by the Southern Hu people in Longcheng. It's normal for him to not be able to endure the long journey and battles..."
He thought to himself and quickly made up his mind.
"Pass the order down, attack the city immediately!"
…
"General! The rebels are already heading towards the east gate of the capital!"
A soldier came hurriedly to report, looking anxiously at King Yannan lying on the bed.
"The capital is in danger!"
The faces of the people guarding the bed changed.
"General, what should we do?!"
At such a critical moment, King Yannan fell ill!
He has difficulty getting up now, let alone leading troops!
"Outside the west gate, there's Guan Chun and his 70,000 elite troops. If we add 30,000 rebels to the mix, I'm afraid..."
"General! We are willing to go to war! Pursue the rebels! Please give the order!"
King Yannan covered his chest and coughed suppressedly.
His face was pale, and he opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly closed his eyes and lay on his back.
"General!"
The tent suddenly became a mess!
…
"Why haven't King Yannan and the others caught up yet?"
The man in the silver mask looked back.
The team has traveled quite a distance and is getting closer and closer to the capital.
Logically speaking, if King Yannan realized that they were going to attack the city, he would definitely not let go.
But now...
"Your Highness!"
A soldier came running over on horseback, his expression unable to conceal his excitement.
"Prince Yannan is unconscious! The enemy army is in chaos! They are now in disarray!"
