"Hmph, so what if Vanguard Dare-to-Die Warriors!"
Seeing that the rockets had worked, Li Anlan couldn't help but smile, finally managing to stop the desperate advance of the Vanguard Dare-to-Die Warriors.
These guys aren't invincible; they'll die if they get burned.
"Haha, Your Majesty is mighty!"
The veterans' eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but start flattering him; this move was truly a stroke of genius.
Li Anlan nodded slightly, just as he was about to devise a plan to defeat the enemy, when he saw the catapult pushed up by the Vanguard Dare-to-Die Warriors, and couldn't help but frown.
"Trench?"
"That's a bit odd!"
"Call out!"
The next moment, a flaming iron can was thrown out, leaving a trail in the air before landing directly in the Great Ning archers' camp.
The soldiers instinctively dodged, and surprisingly, none of them were injured, which surprised the Great Ning.
What's going on?
Are you playing?
"Boom!"
The next moment, a loud explosion rang out, followed by a deluge of iron sand shooting out from within. The powerful penetrating force instantly erupted, and dozens of archers around were hit and screamed in agony.
Several people who were closest to the explosion were covered in blood and gore and were killed instantly.
Grunt!
Li Anlan, watching from a distance, couldn't help but swallow hard. Even from this distance, he could feel how terrifying this thing was. He couldn't believe that Xiliang actually had something like this.
"What's this?"
Before he could think any further, he saw a dense swarm of metal cans flying towards him, causing his expression to change drastically.
"Protect the Emperor!"
Rumble!
After a series of frenzied explosions, the Great Ning archers who had been firing wildly were instantly reduced to a pile of corpses. Each one died in a horrific manner, completely mangled and unrecognizable.
In an instant, the Great Ning archers suffered heavy losses, and their suppressive power diminished significantly.
Seeing this, Li Anlan's expression changed drastically, and he muttered, "Without the archers' suppression, the enemy will probably launch a full-scale offensive. We can no longer hold them off!"
Now there's no more back-and-forth, only a bloody battle in Xiliang.
Sure enough, the enemy went into berserk mode on the main battlefield, with several legions charging wildly, and even the war drums became more rousing.
"Kill them!!!"
Several armies advanced frantically and instantly stormed the Great Ning positions.
Led by Zhang Fei, Chen Dao, and Huang Zhong, they began a frenzied slaughter, which terrified the Great Ning.
With the massive army behind them, the morale of the entire Great Ning plummeted to its lowest point. Only a small number of soldiers continued to resist, while the rest simply knelt down and surrendered.
Seeing this, Li Anlan stood frozen in place, unable to help but sigh, "The tide has turned, it's all over!"
Great Ning is finished!
Just then, the sound of galloping horses suddenly came from not far away, clearly coming from the direction of the imperial city.
The faint sounds of fighting could be heard from the other side, which caused Li Anlan to collapse to the ground. It seemed that the Prince of Northern Liang and his men had also succeeded.
"Report! The Prince of Northern Liang has breached the Vermilion Bird Gate and is heading straight for the imperial city!"
"Report! Jia Xu, the Xiliang Army, has breached Qingfeng Gate and entered the inner city, and has now surrounded the imperial city."
Upon hearing these two sentences, Li Anlan collapsed to the ground, utterly defeated, and sighed deeply, "A million-strong army has entered the capital; Great Ning has ultimately fallen at my hands!"
Seeing the densely packed soldiers charging towards him from not far away, along with the Xiliang cavalry who had already circled around to the rear, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The tide has turned against them!
"Your Majesty, we can't stay here any longer. If the enemy cavalry gets close, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Qin Li whispered a reminder.
The appearance of enemy cavalry here clearly indicates that the cavalry on both sides has been defeated, so the enemy is heading straight this way.
Li Anlan sighed and waved his hand, saying, "The enemy cavalry has already routed our men. Escape is impossible now. Let the army surrender!"
The enemy's million-strong army has already marched in; any further resistance will only result in the loss of tens of thousands of lives.
"Emperor!"
Upon hearing this, the veteran generals' expressions changed drastically. They looked at Li Anlan in disbelief. The emperor was actually going to surrender! The world was doomed!
One of them gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, we can't give up! Didn't you say that the Frostwest Empire was about to send troops to our aid? We just need to hold on a little longer, and the Crown Prince will also send people to support us."
" The Frostwest Empire?"
Li Anlan gave a bitter laugh and said, "Do you think Lin Yi wouldn't have thought of what I could have thought of? This guy probably sent people to intercept him long ago. The Frostwest Empire is powerful, but it can't spare many troops. In fact, it's just sending them to their deaths!"
As for the Crown Prince, needless to say, he'd be lucky to even save his life!
That's a fucking 1.5 million-strong army! Who's coming to support us and hold them off?
The arrival of the Frostwest Empire was, frankly speaking, nothing more than a suicide mission.
Forehead!
Everyone was speechless. Upon reflection, they realized it was indeed true; it was practically suicide.
Li Anlan sighed and said in a deep voice, "Send the order down to make them lay down their weapons and surrender. Lin Yi shouldn't kill the prisoners of Great Ning."
Qin Li sighed and ordered the soldiers around him, "Tell them to lay down their weapons and surrender!"
Splash!
The order was relayed, Great Ning instantly smiled with relief. Finally, they could stop fighting and stop dying. After laying down their weapons, the soldiers knelt on the ground in an instant.
They had long since given up on war; this was clearly a losing proposition, and at worst, it would just mean certain death.
In less than an hour, the army of 300,000 had dwindled to less than 100,000. Their fighting strength was truly terrifying, and they couldn't handle it.
Seeing the soldiers' smiles, Li Anlan sighed and said softly, "Come with me to see my son-in-law. He's probably the strongest son-in-law in the All Under Heaven. I really have good taste!"
Lin Yi's future is limitless. He will be the first powerful emperor to unify the East and the South, truly a great emperor of his generation.
Thud!
The group sighed, dropped their weapons, and slowly made their way towards the royal carriage in the distance.
Soon they saw this young overlord, the invincible being known as the Northern Emperor, and they couldn't help but show expressions of astonishment.
Unexpectedly, the Prince of Xiliang, who dominated the north and made the southern chieftains kneel before him, was so young. Even though they already knew the Prince of Xiliang's age, they still found it hard to accept.
Li Anlan couldn't help but sway, almost falling to the ground, and said bitterly, "To unify the North and South at such a young age and become a great emperor, is Lin Yi truly destined by heaven?"
This is absolutely unbelievable! How can someone be so strong?
I, Li Anlan, have been around for decades, and I'm not as good as someone who's only been around for half a year?
Why should that be?
