Sun Fu is the current emperor.
Even if they are on the run, this lineup is not small at all.
Including officials' family members, royal family members, imperial guards, etc., there were no less than 5,000 people in total. Moreover, there were twenty escapees escorting him all the way.
As for the two remnants of the army, they originally joined together and only numbered over 50,000 people.
However, due to the snowballing absorption and integration along the way, a huge team of 100,000 people was formed, distributed at the dangerous passes along the way to prevent the pursuers from behind.
The following year, winter month.
The cold wind howls and the grass withers.
Late at night, the fleeing team set up camp in a meadow beside a stream.
Next to the huge bonfire, the old civil servant suggested to the middle-aged man in gold robe next to him: "My emperor, Lutai City is not far ahead. How about we set the new capital in Lutai?"
Sun Fu tightened his cloak and said, "This place is already the extreme southeast of my Dayun. There is no point in going further. Just as Fang Cheng said, set the capital at Lutai and wait until the time comes."
Fang Deyuan cupped his hands and said, "God bless Dayun, God bless our emperor, we will definitely be able to make a comeback and regain the lost ground."
Sun Fu did not speak, but looked at the twenty strong men sitting around another bonfire. There was a very beautiful woman named Tian Wanxi.
Fang Deyun observed the words and expressions along the way and naturally understood Sun Fu's thoughts. He smiled and said in a low voice: "The whole world is not the king's land. When things settle down, I can act as a matchmaker for my emperor. I'm sure she won't refuse."
Sun Fu then showed a smile and said, "Then there is Prime Minister Lao Fang."
The next day, it was just dawn.
The mighty team set out again.
It's been more than half a month since I left. Finally, at noon that day, the escape team finally arrived outside the west gate of Lutai City.
But what made everyone frown was that instead of being greeted by no one in Lutai City, the city gate was tightly closed.
You know, before they arrived, someone had already come to pass it on.
At a glance like this, you can tell that there is a big problem.
Under the instructions of Prime Minister Fang Deyun, the commander of the imperial guards stepped forward and shouted towards the tower: "Who is the general on the city! Why don't you come down to the city to greet our emperor after you see him!"
There was only an old man in white who looked extremely old at the gate tower. He was leaning on an iron crutch and standing in the cold wind coughing.
If you look carefully, you can see a little bit of Ye Kongming's appearance on his face.
And this Ye Kongming is the old city lord of Lutai City.
He once promised Sun Qian that he would help him overthrow the rule of Sun Kang's lineage and restore the legitimacy of the Dayun royal family.
He is very old, he is eighty-nine years old this year, and he thought he would never see this day in his life. Unexpectedly, when he was dying, he would see Sun Kang's family in such a state of despair.
Immediately, my mood improved a lot. Looking at the team of thousands of people below, Haha smiled and said, "Who is Sun Fu? Come out and let me have a look."
"Bold! You can't call the emperor by his name!" The commander of the imperial guard's face darkened when he heard this, and he shouted angrily.
At this time, the back of the city wall bunker was already full of archers. Looking left and right, there were probably no less than 2,000 people.
Moreover, on the street behind the city gate, there was an endless line of silver-armored cavalry, waiting in awe. The leader of this cavalry team also had white hair. He was none other than Zhao Tianlei, the former second-in-command of Menghu Village.
However, time is ruthless, and Zhao Tianlei seems to be coming to an end soon.
On the city wall, Ye Kongming laughed so hard that he almost burst into tears, "Emperor, hahaha, is he worthy of being called the emperor! But contrary to what you said, the real emperor is Prince Qian! Not Sun. Kang, that licentious bastard!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Fu's expression suddenly changed.
Others may not know it, but he still knew something about the incident, and his face immediately darkened, "How dare you talk nonsense here and insult the late emperor? Come on! Someone go up and capture this person for me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the commander of the imperial guards clasped his fists in his arms and said, "I am willing to go!"
Then he stepped suddenly and flew towards the city wall. He flew ten feet away, and after a few ups and downs, he arrived thirty feet away from the city wall. It looked like he was quite capable.
"court death!"
Ye Kongming's face darkened when he saw this, and then he raised his arms. The archers hiding behind the bunker instantly drew their bowstrings and stood up in unison.
The commander of the imperial guard was about to use his strength to climb up the wall.
Seeing this situation, his face suddenly changed and he turned around to escape.
But his movements were still slow after all, and Ye Kongming only heard a cry of "Let it go!" 'Suddenly, the sky was full of arrows, like locusts passing by, flying towards the commander of the guards.
In the blink of an eye, the commander of the imperial guard, who possessed the fifth level of martial arts, was shot into a hedgehog. His body was covered with arrows, and then he fell to the base of the city wall with a plop.
When Sun Fu and others who were a mile away saw this, they were shocked and angry.
Prime Minister Fang Deyun pointed at Ye Kongming, "Rebellious ministers and traitors! How dare you, how dare you shoot the commander of the imperial guard! Aren't you afraid of being executed by the nine tribes!"
"Kill the Nine Tribes? It's you who should kill the Nine Tribes!"
Ye Kongming sneered again and again, raised his hand again, "Let go!"
Suddenly, countless arrows were fired at Sun Fu and the others. The sharp arrows covered the sky and made people's scalp numb.
But the distance was still far after all. When the arrow rain fell, its power was already very small. Most of them were blocked by the vine armor shields of the guards. Only a few unlucky people were injured by the arrows.
Sun Fu's eyes were about to burst and he shouted: "Whoever helps me defeat this city, I will treat them as a national master!"
Tian Wanxi and others secretly discussed a few words, then walked out and took the vine armor shield from the guards. Then, with the shield in one hand and the weapon in the other, they flew towards the city wall.
Suddenly, the arrow rain came again.
However, this time, the effect was not so good. With the cooperation of twenty outsiders, the vine armor shields were directly formed into a large turtle shell, and they arrived outside the city wall in a moment.
Then, using his strength to climb up the wall, he was on top of the city wall in an instant.
These people are basically at or above the fifth level of martial arts, and they are also experienced masters in the outside world. They are not comparable to these soldiers at all.
In the blink of an eye, there was a massacre.
Ye Kongming came with a sword, but he was no match for the two outsiders joining forces. After a few moves, he was pierced through the heart with a sword. He moved his lips, and then threw himself on the city wall unwillingly.
In the street below, Zhao Tianlei opened the city gate and led his troops to charge.
Five thousand Tianxia Alliance soldiers fought against three thousand imperial guards. The two sides fought for a while, but in the end they died in hatred because twenty outsiders came back to help.
This time it was a miscalculation.
Under normal circumstances, Lutai City's military strength would be enough to crush these three thousand guards, but they never expected that Sun Fu would have so many masters around him.
But fortunately, not many senior leaders of the Tianxia Alliance came to Lutai City this time. Except for the two veterans, the new generation of capable generals did not come here.
Otherwise, the loss this time would be immeasurable.
As soon as the defeat was revealed, the Tianxia Alliance no longer wanted to fight. They seemed to be in a panic, but in fact they withdrew in an orderly manner towards Hidden Dragon Mountain.
Sun Fu was so angry that he sent the imperial guards to pursue him, but he was ambushed again and lost thousands of imperial guards. Then he ordered the pursuit to stop with a livid face.
At this point, Lutai City belonged to Sun Fu, but Sun Fu couldn't be happy after getting Lutai City.
