Oh My God!
This not only shocked Wang Ziwen, but also left everyone else speechless, their eyes filled with astonishment.
"This is too powerful! We haven't even taken Liangshan Pass, and the young master has already conquered Xuanyi City and Wuning Commandery. This is truly terrifying."
"The Crown Prince is probably a god. Li Anlan is courting death by opposing him."
" With Wuning Commandery fallen, Li Anlan has no cover. The Crown Prince can directly attack the capital. This is going to be successful!"
"In this way, the northern part of Great Ning has been almost riddled with holes by the Crown Prince, leaving only the three counties in front of us to hold out. Once we take Liangshan Pass, we can sweep through these three counties and surround the capital with a million troops!"
Everyone couldn't help but get excited.
A million-strong army is besieging the capital of Great Ning. The Crown Prince is about to succeed in his rebellion, and we are about to become his loyal subjects.
Ha ha!
Lin Rusong's smile never faded, his mouth practically twisted into a grin as he exclaimed, "It has to be our son! This battle was exhilarating! Li Anlan still needs more experience! Now that he's lost Wuning Commandery and the Northeast region, his Great Ning's fate is sealed!"
This is a sign of national ruin!
call out!
Just then, a series of fireworks rose into the sky in the distance and then exploded, instantly silencing everyone's discussion.
Lin Rusong's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, " Yi Yun, is this the signal flare my son was talking about?"
"That's right, this must be Pang De having arrived, so he's signaling us to launch a general offensive!" Yi Yun couldn't help but get excited; this was the signal to start the war.
Holy crap!
Lin Rusong, still reeling from his son's victory, roared, "What the hell are we waiting for? Today we'll take Liangshan Pass and head straight for the capital!"
Ha ha!
Everyone burst into laughter, their morale soaring. The Great Ning was now doomed, and it was time for them to make some achievements.
Several veteran generals volunteered to fight, wanting to lead from the front.
" Prince of Northern Liang, I will be the vanguard today. Let me have one last glorious moment before I die, shall I?" Fifty-seven-year-old Feng Zicai stepped forward from the crowd and volunteered directly.
The Prince of Northern Liang frowned, instinctively about to refuse, but seeing the other's eyes, he nodded anyway.
"Good!"
Old soldiers never die, they simply fade away; he doesn't have many days left to live!
Feng Zicai laughed heartily, declaring, "Hahaha, today I'll show Great Ning what Northern Liang is all about! No one can bully the people of Northern Liang unless we're willing!"
"Brothers, follow me and charge!"
Veteran general Feng Zicai roared and charged forward, shield in hand!
His fearless attitude instantly captivated everyone. Feng Zicai was almost sixty years old this year, yet he was so crazy.
kill!!!
Under Feng Zicai's leadership, the entire Northern Liang launched a frenzied attack!
The Northern Liang, established amidst the flames of war, was never short of bloodshed, nor did it fear death.
Because they had fought their way through piles of corpses, they naturally didn't care about dying again, and immediately launched a frenzied charge.
This charge was not blind; rather, it involved constantly adjusting the offensive strategy, launching counterattacks against the enemy forces on the city walls while charging forward.
Arrows rained down on the battlefield as a group of Northern Liang soldiers charged forward with shields against the barrage of arrows. The archers behind them showed no fear and exchanged fire, killing the enemies on the city walls one by one.
Some were even shot with arrows, but they simply pulled them out and continued charging, like demons.
"What a terrifying old man!"
Their frenzied behavior sent chills down the spines of several young generals standing nearby. Were these the same toothless old men? They were lunatics!
Lin Rusong slowly closed his eyes and sighed, "This is their last act of madness, and also their resentment towards Li Anlan. It's all my fault. If it weren't for the greater good, would my old brothers have had to endure this humiliation all these years?"
He knew that his old comrades were getting on in years and probably wouldn't live much longer after this battle.
Ultimately, it was my own fault!
"Your Highness, this is the brothers' own choice, they won't blame you," Wang Ziwen said in a deep voice, his eyes slightly moist.
Back then, they couldn't afford to lose any more resources. If Northern Liang and Great Ning were to go to war again, the final victor would only be the Northern Barbarians tribes. Therefore, Lin Rusong chose to swallow his anger for the sake of the All Under Heaven people.
It's not that we can't win, it's that we shouldn't fight!
" Li Anlan!!!!"
At this moment, a ferocious glint flashed in Lin Rusong's eyes, and he almost gritted his teeth as he said, "Back then, I sacrificed his father for the sake of the greater good, but he turned out to be a terrible emperor, only knowing how to eliminate dissidents!"
Now that my son has killed the Northern Barbarians, I'm going to make them pay back!
kill!
This time it was his turn to take the lead. He spurred his warhorse and personally led his troops into battle!
volley!
A deluge of arrows rained down on the city walls, while catapults continued their relentless assault, pounding the walls with ferocious fury. The Northern Liang's offensive was as relentless as a tidal wave.
Bai Tianwang's face on the city wall was extremely grim. The enemy's frantic advance had taken a heavy toll on him, and many archers had died under the enemy's rain of arrows and catapults.
If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on!
Beside him, Wang Youli, who was responsible for supporting him, couldn't help but curse, "This bunch of lunatics!"
"They're not crazy, it's just that this is their final act, so of course they need to vent their anger. Actually, even if they hadn't fought this battle, they wouldn't have lived much longer anyway."
Looking at these veterans of Northern Liang in the distance, Bai Tianwang closed his eyes in anguish.
It's truly tragic that family members are now facing off against each other.
These are good soldiers, but unfortunately, the two sides are enemies. So, I can only apologize; my responsibility is to defend this city.
Even if only one soldier remains, we must not back down.
Just then, a scout rushed in, bringing news that made everyone turn pale.
"General, Wuning County has fallen, and King Lin Yi of Xiliang's army of 500,000 is advancing straight towards the capital!"
Snap!
Upon hearing this news, Bai Tianwang dropped the envelope in his hand, completely stunned.
This news was a huge blow to him, meaning that the northern part of Great Ning was very likely to collapse. And his 400,000 men would probably be left as an isolated force!
He gritted his teeth and said, "How is this possible? Shangguan Yu is a famous general of Great Ning, how could he lose so badly?"
"General, regardless of why the Imperial Uncle lost, we are now facing a major problem. I'm afraid Lin Yi will send people from behind!" Wang Youli said bitterly.
Not only are there enemies on both sides, but we're also going to get our backsides attacked. Who can withstand that?
