"This was the summer palace of the Wei Kingdom back then, no wonder."
"General, you may not know this, but the most magical thing about this summer palace is that every time the sun rises, the colorful tiles on the roof emit a rainbow-like light."
"The entire northern border city was illuminated and shone brightly."
"So, this city also has another name, which is the Rainbow Palace."
The hunter became somewhat saddened after saying this.
"It's a pity that more than a hundred years have passed, and the Rainbow Palace has long lost its former glory due to lack of maintenance."
"Only some ruins remain."
"It is said that when the army besieged the city, the last emperor fled here and led the soldiers and civilians in the city to fight to the death. In that battle, almost all the soldiers and civilians in the entire Beijiang City were killed or wounded."
"It looks like a magnificent city now, but if the general enters the city and sees the whole city in daylight, he might not think so."
"Even after more than a hundred years, the ruins created back then have not been repaired."
"shocking."
"So you're also a remnant of the Wei Kingdom?"
Seeing how proud the hunter was as he spoke, Liu Feng couldn't help but ask a question.
"What? More than a hundred years have passed. There are no Wei people left. They are all Dali people."
"It's just that the elders in my family have passed down some old stories from the past."
"We can still remember some of it now, but in a longer time, who among our descendants will remember these things?"
"Young people are already listening to it as a story."
Upon hearing this, Liu Feng felt a strange sense of emotion.
Wu Jiang had told him many things before. When the Wei Kingdom was at its peak, it was indeed extraordinary. It not only possessed the lands of Yanzhou and Youzhou, but also some of the places in the northern barbarians that belonged to the Wei Kingdom back then.
The territory of the Wei Kingdom was exceptionally vast back then.
Although their territory has been incorporated into the present-day Dali Dynasty, their culture has not disappeared and has been integrated into the lives of everyone today.
Thinking about these things reminded Liu Feng of his memories from his previous life.
In previous lives, this was also the case between different countries in ancient times.
They fought each other, but eventually merged, which led to the splendid Chinese civilization of later generations.
Perhaps they were filled with grief and indignation when their country was destroyed.
But as time went by, that grief and indignation gradually faded away.
"Perhaps, I mean perhaps, one day in the future, this magnificent palace with its mirrored walls may be revitalized."
Liu Feng chuckled and patted the hunter on the shoulder as he spoke.
The hunter didn't take it seriously, thinking that General Liu was just joking with him.
Following Liu Feng's previous orders, he silently led the group deeper into the northern border city.
The moonlight was beautiful, and Liu Feng and his companions finally arrived at the foot of the city walls of Beijiang City.
The garrison in Beijiang City had been under attack from Wang Shigao's army for a long time, and they were very vigilant. Liu Feng and his men had just appeared.
The city's garrison had already discovered Liu Feng and his men's whereabouts.
However, Liu Feng and his group consisted of only a few people, unlike the main group.
Even so, the soldiers guarding the city dared not relax their vigilance and stood on the city walls to inquire:
"Who are you people?"
Liu Feng didn't waste any words. At this moment, the best way to prove himself was through the military flag, so he immediately ordered someone to bring out the military flag of the Northern Expeditionary Army.
"Brothers on the city wall, we come from Red River City, which is now firmly in the hands of the Northern Expeditionary Army."
"We're here to help you."
Upon inspection, the enemy realized there was no mistake; the banners below the city walls truly belonged to the Northern Expeditionary Army.
This delighted the brothers on the city wall.
They've been trapped here for more than just a day or two.
They were already trapped in an isolated city, the morale of the troops inside was unstable, and the people were trying every means to escape.
At this time, what they need most is reinforcements. Even if there is only one reinforcement, as long as that one person brings in the news of the northern expeditionary army, it will be the best way to stabilize the morale of the army in the northern border city.
"Quickly open the city gates and let the brothers outside in."
The city gate was slowly lowered.
Liu Feng and his group were able to enter the city smoothly.
Of course, the people on the city wall weren't stupid either. Although they let these people in, they still kept a close watch on their surroundings, fearing that the enemy might have tricked them into opening the city gate.
Only after Liu Feng and his group successfully entered the city gate without encountering any attacks did the soldiers guarding the city finally feel completely relieved.
Liu Feng was terrified by the scene inside the city.
Upon entering the city gate, all you see are tents lining the streets.
What should have been a bustling street is now a scene like this.
Because the soldiers had already heard it, they knew that the Northern Expeditionary Army had arrived, so when Liu Feng and his men entered the city...
They emerged from the tents one by one, many of them bearing injuries.
Moreover, many of them were seriously injured, some even losing limbs.
This shows how fierce the previous battle to defend the city had been.
The defending army has now suffered more than half its casualties, and there are not many left who can fight.
A large portion of them were injured by arrows.
Fortunately, it's alright.
These able-bodied fighters are all seasoned veterans, and they will be the backbone of the subsequent counterattacks.
It was precisely because of their perseverance that Wang Shigao's army, despite launching daily raids, never managed to breach the city walls.
