"The Loulan army is coming!"
The news spread like the wind, and people in Zhaowu City were panicked.
The streets were full of patrolling soldiers.
The scared people hid in their homes one by one and did not dare to go out. The streets were deserted and looked extremely depressed and depressing.
On the city tower, Yue Qingchen's face was ashen.
Lin Bai also frowned slightly.
This was so damn fast. Only two days after arriving in Zhaowu City, Loulan's army arrived at the city.
It's simply too late to do anything.
Of course, with just five hundred people, it seems like nothing can be done.
All the Da Yue soldiers looked extremely nervous when they saw Loulan's army approaching in the distance, their faces turned pale, their palms were sweating, and they looked like a storm was about to come.
The morale of Loulan's army is like a rainbow, and it can be seen that they have a winning streak.
On the contrary, Dayue's soldiers were almost worn out as Loulan's army advanced all the way.
A large part of the reason why they can support it is because of Dali behind them, because they all know that reinforcements from Dali will arrive soon, so...
The mighty army had arrived under the city tower at this time.
Yue Qingchen shouted sweetly, "The whole army is on alert!"
A silver sword in his hand was also unsheathed, clearly ready for Loulan's army to attack the city.
The soldiers were also at war with each other.
Zhuiyue's jade palm was also pressed on the hilt of the sword, guarding my uncle's side to prevent various situations. Although Loulan's army had just arrived and the problem was not big for the time being, Xiao Nizi was 100% concerned about her uncle's safety. He is very dedicated and does not dare to neglect at all.
At this time, Loulan's army stopped under the city tower, and the dense army was like locusts.
"Is this an army of 50,000? At least 80,000."
Yan Gang's face turned pale.
All the Otsuki courtiers were even more panicked.
The 50,000-strong army had already made them tremble. Seeing this situation, their faces turned extremely pale and they were dripping with cold sweat.
Yue Qingchen's pretty face also turned pale, but her eyes remained firm.
"Lord Otsuki, listen."
At this time, among the Loulan army, a silver-armored general stepped out on horseback, and a loud voice sounded.
"I, General Loulan Tianwu, have arrived. Open the city gate immediately and surrender. This will save you from death. Otherwise, no chickens or dogs will be left in Zhaowu City."
"What a loud tone!"
Yue Qingchen gave a sweet shout, and at the same time as she spoke, a bow appeared in her hand.
The next moment, an arrow shot out like a meteor.
However, because the distance was too far, the arrows were already unable to follow up when they arrived. The silver-armored general easily cut off the arrows with a slash of his sword, and he couldn't help but let out a weird laugh.
"Princess Dayue? You are such a good girl. Why are you here on the battlefield if you are not at home to give birth to a child?"
"With just this arrow of yours, after I enter the city, I will make you give birth to a child for me, hahaha!!"
Wild laughter echoed.
There were many echoing voices and it was noisy.
Yue Qingchen's pretty face was livid with anger and her teeth chattered, but it was of no use.
The silver-armored general continued: "Remember, you only have one day. If you don't surrender after one day, no chickens or dogs will be left behind."
…
"Master, what should we do now?"
At the Dayue Palace, all the courtiers had turned into a mess.
Loulan's army came to the city with great force, and the number far exceeded previous estimates.
Yue Zhongtian's face turned pale and he quickly asked: "What's the current situation of Loulan's army?"
"Back to my lord, the Loulan army has set up camp outside the city gate. They are just waiting for the limited time to come..."
"My lord, Loulan's army is approaching fiercely. We should make a decision early."
"..."
All the ministers were obviously frightened.
Lin Bai felt that damn, this is so spineless! Looking at this posture, everyone can't wait to surrender.
Are you frightened to death by just a few words from Loulan's army?
Yue Qingchen immediately reprimanded: "What kind of decision are you making? Loulan's army is extremely cruel. Don't you all want to be slaves to the subjugation of the country? Come as soon as you come, the worst is to fight to the death."
This girl has some backbone, but the ministers are very weak.
There was also a hint of doubt in Yue Zhongtian's eyes, and he looked at Lin Bai and asked again: "Prince Li Chao, may I ask if Li Chao's reinforcements will arrive in two days?"
Lin Bai almost wanted to curse.
Damn it, Dayue still has 30,000 soldiers, okay? With these 30,000 soldiers, it is not easy to guard him for ten days and a half, but what about his backbone?
"Don't worry, Lord Oyue, we will definitely arrive."
But I’m not sure how much it can reach. I didn’t say much anyway.
Lin Bai still didn't know what was going on behind the scenes.
However, he has already given an order. Leaving aside the Wei army, Liu Yunfeng will definitely arrive. Even if there are not many people coming, it is more or less the same. At least it is not a gaffe. When the time comes, he will casually mention a special situation and deal with it first.
The great talent has made up his mind.
Of course, this is the worst case scenario. It would be better if reinforcements could arrive in time.
According to his estimation, it should be here.
Yue Zhongtian's expression softened significantly after hearing this, and then he looked at Pang Wanli and asked, "What does Mr. Pang think?"
It was rare that Pang Wanli did not refute today, but instead said: "Your Majesty Dali is true to his words. The fourth prince of Dali is also famous all over the world. I guess he is not a person who breaks his promise, and it will not be long. I agree to stick to Zhaowu City and give Loulan a head-on attack." .”
Hearing this, not to mention Lin Bai was a little surprised.
Even Yue Qingchen glanced at Pang Wanli in surprise.
There seems to be something wrong with this old Yinbi!
Aren’t you pro-Loulan?
Why are you so talkative today? Logically speaking, he should advocate for peace with Loulan, but why would this happen...
Lin Bai narrowed his eyes slightly.
Yue Zhongtian also seemed a little surprised, but then nodded, "Okay! Then pass on the order, stick to Zhaowu, and wait for the Dali reinforcements to arrive and defeat the Loulan army, and then we will discuss the merits and reward them."
"The king is wise!"
The officials retreated one after another, each thinking about Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts.
Lin Bai also returned to the inn. The situation was extremely urgent and he had to find a way.
Although reinforcements should arrive in two days, they will definitely not be too many. There has been no news from Ruoshui Pass, and the stalemate is probably still going on. Once this happens, how to defend Zhaowu City will be the top priority.
In fact, there are 30,000 people. As the defender of the city, even if Loulan has 80,000 troops, the disparity is not that big.
The common people can also be mobilized, among other things, to help carry stones and do some logistics work.
The key is that people like Otsuki have little fighting spirit. If there are more reinforcements coming from the North, they may work hard.
But if there are very few reinforcements, it's hard to say.
Therefore, we must find ways to boost the morale of these people.
If there is a better way to boost morale, it would undoubtedly be to win a battle, but this is the current situation.
The talented man felt his scalp hurt.
I hope Liu Yunfeng can arrive soon. Not to mention, he is confident that he can bring 3,000 Zhuge Liannu.
