After many twists and turns, Mo Sang and one of his men finally returned to Yelang.
He will report all the information about how to ambush him and what he learned in Dian Kingdom to King Yelang!
Along the way, they had been traveling day and night in order to get ahead of the Qin army. They were already exhausted. After saying all this, Mo Sang fell down!
"What? The Qin army is so powerful?"
After King Yelang and the ministers heard this, their faces suddenly turned pale.
An army of 50,000 was dispatched and was completely wiped out in a small valley. Not even the Qin Army Commander was seen?
If Mo Sang hadn't come back to report, they would still be discussing where to build a new palace this year!
"Your Majesty, according to General Mo Sang's words, this Qin army should not be underestimated. We must be careful!"
"Yes! The city wall of Dian Kingdom is considered strong, but it can be torn open with just one shot? Then let's...?"
The ministers couldn't help but take a breath when they thought of this.
Like the Dian Kingdom, their Yelang army relied on the city wall to protect them. If the Qin army really had this artifact, their royal city would definitely not be able to be saved!
"How many troops do we have left?"
King Yelang's eyes were frozen and he asked.
"There are 50,000 elite soldiers. If we include all the guards in the palace, we can make up about 60,000!"
A man who looked like a general opened his mouth to report.
"Sixty thousand? According to Mo Sang's words, these troops are far from enough!"
Above the main hall, an old man stroked his beard and said with a slight trembling.
"Report..."
"Your Majesty, the Qin army is attacking the royal city!"
Before everyone could discuss a feasible solution, soldiers came to report the news.
"What? So fast...?"
King Yelang was startled by the sudden news and stood up directly, "What should we do? What should we do? What should we do now?"
They had received the news since the Qin army entered the southwestern Yi area and wiped out those small countries.
However, at that time, Yelang didn't take Da Qin's 50,000 soldiers seriously at all, and planned to reap the benefits and wait until they had almost wiped out all the surrounding small countries before they took action.
If the Qin army is wiped out, those small countries will become their Yelang territory!
Unexpectedly, the Qin army was so powerful.
Not only did they wipe out all the surrounding small countries with overwhelming force, they also quickly wiped out the Dian Kingdom. Even the 50,000 reinforcements sent by Yelang were not spared!
Now that the Qin army was about to approach the city, he was really panicked!
"Your Majesty, don't panic yet. Why don't we send out some soldiers first to test the strength of the Qin army?"
The veteran minister Mu Yi, out of urgency, made some suggestions.
"Yes, yes, let's test it first. Maybe Mo Sang is exaggerating!"
After hearing this, King Yelang felt that it made sense and immediately sent out a group of thousands of archers.
Let them shoot arrows from a distance to see how the Qin army reacts.
However, the result was that as soon as the archers left the city, without even drawing their bows, they were beaten into pieces by the fur-colored guns and fell to the ground one after another!
"What do Yelang Kingdom think? Why did they send a few people out to die?"
After dealing with these Yelang archers, Yingbu scratched his head and said.
"That's right! When the city gate opened, I thought we could have a good fight! I didn't expect so many people to come out, it's not even enough to fill the gap between my teeth!"
Meng Yun pursed his lips and was very confused.
"Could it be that Yelang has no one left?"
Meng Yu guessed.
"Impossible! Yelang is a big country among the southwestern barbarians, and there is no way it only has 50,000 troops!"
Cao Shen stared at the city wall not far away and spoke in a low voice.
"That's right! In my opinion, Yelang must have received some news and sent these people to test the truth! If it doesn't go as I expected, we may be able to save some energy!"
Xiao He smiled slightly and said mysteriously.
"Save effort? Why?"
Meng Yun, Meng Yu and Ying Bu looked confused.
“You’ll find out just when you wait and see!”
Xiao He did not tell the key, and just asked the two of them to wait and see.
Cao Shen heard some clues and nodded in agreement.
He ordered artillery to surround the royal city, but he did not attack the city!
…
When the news that the archers were killed when they left the city came back to the court, King Yelang and the ministers turned pale.
"So, is what General Mo Sang said true? The Qin army does have appalling weapons?"
"Next, the Qin army will attack the city, right?"
"Then we... what should we do? There are still my wife, children and children in the city!"
When the ministers heard this, they suddenly panicked, like ants on a hot pot, not knowing what to do.
The strength of the Qin army was beyond their expectations!
Some people even think that Qin Jun is no longer a human being, but a god and demon!
The 50,000-strong army was blocked in the valley and was wiped out in an hour.
Then their 60,000 soldiers will be killed by the Qin people in less than half a day!
Even the always confident King Yelang has no idea at this moment!
"Your Majesty, I do have a plan to save the lives of the people in the city, but I don't know whether I should say it or not!"
After thinking for a long time, Mu Yi spoke slowly.
"Say! Say it quickly...!"
It's now time, as long as there is a way to save your life, that's fine, there's nothing else you should say.
"surrender!"
Mu Yi uttered two words lightly.
If it were in the past, if he said such words, he would definitely arouse the rage of King Yelang.
If you can't save your head, you have to move!
But the situation has come to this, this is the only way!
The Qin army has surrounded the royal city, and it is almost impossible for them to escape. What else can they do except surrender?
"Is...is there really no other way?"
King Yelang clenched his fists, seemingly unwilling to do so.
Obviously their Yelang army has more troops than the Qin army, how could they end up in such a situation?
"No……!"
Mu Yi shook his head firmly, "We have just sent troops to test. The Qin army has the ability to kill people from a distance. A team of a thousand people fell down as soon as they left the city. It is impossible to defeat them! Besides, they have siege weapons in hand. If we don’t surrender, by the time they attack, it will be too late!”
King Yelang felt a chill in his heart and slumped down to the ground.
"Of course, if the king is unwilling, we can also send troops to resist the Qin army for a while, but the result will probably be that the entire army will be annihilated, and then our entire Yelang Kingdom will be gone...!"
Mu Yi pondered for a moment and then continued: "I heard that the Qin army does not kill prisoners. If you surrender now, you can at least save one life. As long as we are still alive and Yelang's army is still alive, we can find opportunities to regain the country in the future! "
For these last four words, Mu Yi deliberately emphasized his tone.
"Re-establish the country?"
King Yelang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to understand something.
"That's right! Before we have a head-on confrontation with the Qin army, if we propose surrender, we may be able to get some favorable conditions!"
Mu Yi's eyes flashed with light and he nodded firmly.
"Yes! I, Yelang, am a big country after all. Even if we want to surrender, we have to make Da Qin agree to let us continue to manage Yelang, and we will have to pay tribute every year...!"
After Mu Yi reminded him, King Yelang suddenly felt confident again, "Isn't it because Da Qin sent troops to attack because of the value created by the land? Then we will agree to Da Qin to be their vassal state and give them every year. A little benefit from them should be enough!"
"Your Majesty, you can send someone to give it a try!"
Mu Yi bowed respectfully.
"Okay! Then I will send you to negotiate with the commander of the Qin Army. You must make the Qin Army agree!"
"I……"
Mu Yi was immediately dumbfounded.
He just wanted to come up with an idea, but he didn't want to negotiate with the Qin army in person!
Once the city gate is opened, what if he is killed directly like thousands of archers?
But there was no way, the king gave an order, and he had to make this trip no matter what!
