Yanmen Pass was bustling with excitement, and Anyang City, the imperial capital, was not idle either. It was even more lively than Yanmen Pass.
The original garrison of Anyang City consisted of more than 20,000 people. Under the leadership of General Chang Sheng of the patrol battalion, they dealt with Mr. Tie's 100,000 Northern Yan Army. Regardless of the disparity in strength, it was not easy for the Northern Yan Army to devour 20,000 people in one go.
Yu Mingji was anxious in his high seat in the royal city, but he was not afraid. He vowed to live and die with Anyang and retain the dignity that an emperor of the Kingdom of Glory should have.
Before the war, the emperor specially issued a decree to allocate three million taels of silver from the national treasury to reward the army. All three million taels of silver were distributed to the families of 20,000 soldiers. He also stated that the victors would be promoted to high positions, and the families of the deceased would be supported by the national treasury to support their families.
From this point of view, the emperor made up his mind to defend Anyang City. The soldiers had no scruples and were brave and blocked the advance of the Northern Yan army with their physical bodies. Of course, the price was heavy.
At the end of the battle, the ever-victorious defenders had less than a thousand men left. On the other hand, the Beiyan army was still vigorous and vigorous. Anyang City should have been captured this time.
Mr. Tie thought so. After several days of fierce fighting, the Northern Yan army had occupied most of Anyang City. The people in the city were nowhere to be found. The ministers who stayed behind sent people to bring all their families into the palace. The streets were no longer as joyful as before, and there was a depressed scene.
As for the first prince of Chengguo, Anlong Wang Yu Chengguo, these few days have been the saddest days for him since he grew up. On the one hand, his succession to the throne is in jeopardy, and on the other hand, the emperor already knows that he has dealings with Mr. Tie. Regardless of whether Anyang can protect him or not, this matter is not easy to deal with. Not counting the black armored army at Yanmen Pass, more than 20,000 soldiers have died in Anyang alone. In the end, this debt will have to be settled on him.
It’s over… it’s over… After decades of business, it’s all gone.
The most ironic thing is that his Anlong Palace has now become the headquarters of the Northern Yan Army. It has nothing to do with him in name, but privately people are talking that this is Anlong Palace attacking the Emperor's Forbidden Palace.
It's too late to say anything now. I just hope that my father can be lenient and at least keep his title.
The ministers lost their former dignity, all wilted like eggplants beaten by frost, and restless, as if the world was ending.
Only Yu Mingji knew in his heart that there were still 100,000 troops to suppress the West in the capital, but he didn't want to use them yet, so he could give the enemy a fatal blow at the critical moment.
At the same time, Yu Mingji knew in his heart that once the war started, it would not be easy to end. Beiyan and Nanliang would have to pay the price if they dared to sit on their necks and shit.
On the other hand, Mr. Tie, with less than 100,000 people left in his 100,000-strong army, did not choose to attack rashly, but instead besieged instead of attacking, and still planned to capture Anyang City without spending any troops.
Therefore, the battle fell into a stalemate until the tenth day when it finally turned around.
This turning point came from a military report, which was of course sent back from Yanmen Pass. It stated that the victory at Yanmen Pass had driven the coalition forces back and wiped out more than 100,000 enemies. This was what Yu Mingji was waiting for.
It stands to reason that the good news coming from the front should be a great joy, but the faces of the ministers were hesitant, showing no signs of joy at all, and their eyes were full of despair.
Yu Mingji remained silent, carefully put the general's newspaper into his arms and stood up.
"Come here, it's said that the general of the patrol camp always wins!"
The emperor broke the silence with a word and raised his head. He didn't know what the meaning of Changsheng was at this time.
Not long after, Chang Sheng came up to the palace wearing a broken battle armor. Although there were only less than a thousand soldiers left, there was no trace of fear in Chang Sheng's eyes.
"Chang Sheng, I ask you, how many troops are there in Anyang now?"
"Your Majesty, there are already... less than a thousand people!"
"I want specific numbers!"
"There are...eight hundred and twenty-three people left, and there are still many injured among them!"
Yu Mingji nodded: "Send the order and launch an attack on the Beiyan Army!"
Upon hearing this, the ministers were dumbfounded and thought that the emperor must be crazy. More than 800 people took the initiative to attack an army of 100,000 people. What is the difference between this and seeking death.
Chang Sheng didn't move where he was. It wasn't that he was afraid, it was just that even if 800 people played tricks, they still couldn't defeat 100,000 people!
