Wait a minute, heroine

The next morning, golden rays of light shone on the top of the snow.

The small triangular tent had been put away, and a pair of men and women were carried by charcoal-red horses and walked slowly down the mountain along the ridge.

Night Terror Hall was riding on horseback, with the cloak on his back fluttering in the morning light, and in his arms was a wild goose wrapped like a caterpillar.

After a long night, the Queen Mother, who had become a little daughter-in-law, huddled up in the thick soft blanket, only revealing her reddish cheeks and a pair of big watery eyes, looking at the night with a little shyness. Shocked, he whispered:

"After you come down from the mountain, you can't mess around again. Yuhu hasn't let me return home yet. After all, I am still the mother of a country..."

Ye Jingtang hugged her soft and tender figure and put his left hand in the blanket to keep it warm:

"Then I'll come here secretly, just like what's written in the book. If the empress wants to see me, just reward her with something and ask Hongyu to bring it over. Just wait in bed at night."

"I see you as lustful and don't want you to go all the way in vain to get what you want. How can I miss you all day long..."

"hehe……"

Ye Jingtang shook his head, not believing this at all.

After all, Huaiyan enjoyed it very much last night. At first, he was a little reluctant to let go, but as he gradually got used to it, he began to take the initiative to take care of him out of fear that he would be tired.

Because he didn't know how to do it the first time, he was asked to teach him various moves mentioned in the book. He spent half the night just studying how to stand. If the tent was not too small to open, I might have been able to study with him until dawn with great interest. .

Seeing Huaiyan getting nervous, Ye Jingtang didn't point it out, he just smiled and said:

"I'm just a guard. It depends on the Queen's will whether she summons me or not. By the way, we decided last night that we will learn how to intercept the clouds in one month. If I fail the test by then, the Queen will be punished even if she doesn't summon me..."

Seeing that Ye Jingtang mentioned this issue again, the Queen Mother did not escape, but said:

"Since it's a bet, how can I only suffer the loss? If I learn how to do it, what will you do?"

"Of course it's up to you. You can do whatever you want with me. Is that fair?"

"?"

The Queen Mother feels that Ye Jingtang is so thick-skinned, isn't she the one who suffers every time? However, with the words "Night Terror Hall", she always has the final right to interpret, so she didn't say much at the moment, she just snorted softly, pulled up the blanket, and covered her cheeks in it.

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang's eyes were full of smiles. He did not disturb Huaiyan's rest anymore, accelerated his horse speed and headed towards the outside of the mountain.

And this journey to the desert, which has been going around for thousands of miles, has come to an end as the two people and the horse gradually recede...

——

The charcoal-red horse has amazing leg power. He set off in the early morning and returned to Shazhou City with Huaiyan at midnight.

Although the stone tablet has not been properly processed, because the weather in the desert is so hot that even the birds can wilt from the heat. After Ye Jingtang returned to Shazhou City with the hand warmers, he asked Da Benben to lead the team back first.

He started doing hard work, transferred 500 soldiers from Shazhou City, and returned to Crescent Bay to dig out the stone tablets buried in the ground.

Normally, this kind of hard work should be left to the people below, but Ye Jingtang is worried.

Although the 'nine arts' recorded on the stone tablet are too ancient, they are also the arts of ascending to immortality. To put it simply, they are six low-profile versions of the roaring dragon pictures.

You can imagine how tempting this kind of thing is to the north and south rivers and lakes. It is not unusual for Wu Kui and Wu Sheng to personally snatch it.

Even if Master Xiang Han and others did not come and the stone tablet was found by the Beiliang people first, the news must have been leaked. If the evil sect in the world got wind of it and secretly learned it on the road, I am afraid that in a few years, there will be a war in the world. The catastrophe caused by monsters.

In order to prevent the situation from getting out of control in the future, Ye Jingtang chose to be the escort himself and deliver the stone tablet to a safe area first.

Digging out the stone monument is still a troublesome task. According to the inference of the craftsmen, the incomplete stone monument weighs more than 30,000 kilograms. Just to lift it from the stone hall, a frame must be built and a pulley block must be used.

It was difficult to cut the stone monument, and it was impossible to load it into a truck and transport it out of the desert. It could only be spread on the ground with logs. Hundreds of people took turns pulling it out. Because the sand was soft, it would get stuck at every turn. It would take up to ten miles a day to walk until we left. With the official road in the desert area, the speed is faster.

The task of transporting the stone tablet was quite boring and long. It took more than ten days to walk from Crescent Bay to Wangheya; and then it took another four days to get to the shore of Lianghe River.

Lianghe is the main river in Liangzhou. You can go south to enter the Jinchuan River. From the Jinjiang Canal to the east, you can reach Xiwang Town. Then you can go north to Beijing from Qingjiang River, which takes about half a month.

After the stele was loaded onto the ship, the rest of the journey was naturally much easier. Under the leadership of Meng Jiao, all the black government elites arrived, and two thousand forbidden troops accompanied the ship. Safety was guaranteed, and Ye Jingtang left the team alone and rode north. Heading to the prairie fire...

——

After all this hard work, the time has come to the end of June, and the northwest has also reached the hottest time of the year.

At dusk, tens of thousands of troops were stationed in the wilderness outside Pingyi City. The army was divided into three groups, flying the dragon flag of Wei Dynasty, the flag of Liang Wang, and the black "night" flag representing King Tianlang Xuan. There were many ladders and siege vehicles inside. .

Because Pingyi City was on the defensive and the Southern Dynasty did not launch a general offensive, the wilderness was still calm, but the atmosphere of the confrontation between the two armies was extremely depressing.

Behind the golden tent in the center is the residence of the female officials accompanying the empress. Dongfang Liren and others who returned from a trip to Shazhou also lived here.

At this time, in the golden tent, the empress was wearing a long red dress, sitting sideways on the couch, with a chess case in front of her, and she was concentrating on playing chess with Hua Qingzhi.

Hua Qingzhi didn't actually know the identity of the empress before. She only thought that the beauty in red was the beautiful concubine of Mr. Ye. The last time she came to the military camp with various troops from the West Sea, she didn't have the chance to go to the Golden Bookstore.

But this time it was not the case. She ran back from Shazhou all the way and found Miss Yuhu waiting at the gate of the military camp. She originally wanted to say hello, but the Queen who was walking beside her said with joy in her eyes:

"Sister, why did you come out?"

Hua Qingzhi was getting off the carriage at that time. Her face turned pale when she heard these words and she almost fell off the carriage.

After all, she had said to Yuhu's face before that she was "all-too-familiar" and she turned out to be the empress of the Southern Dynasty. If she was holding a grudge...

Hua Qingzhi was too embarrassed to say anything at the time, so she quietly followed Sanniang into the military camp. She didn't dare to leave the tent for the past few days, hoping for the stars and the moon, waiting for Ye Jingtang to come back and use her as a protective umbrella.

Fortunately, the empress was busy with military affairs and did not call her over to clean up. Only this afternoon when she had nothing to do, she called her over to play chess with her.

Hua Qingzhi was the "Little Chess Saint" of Beiliang, a serious national player. In a duel with the Empress, even ten chessmen could kill the Empress to tears.

But Hua Qingzhi comes from a wealthy family, and what she knows best is "accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger." How could she dare to show her extraordinary achievements at this time? She sat sideways on the couch with a demure demeanor, frowning in deep thought, and praised for a while:

"Your Majesty's move is truly a magical move..."

The empress took some time out of her busy schedule to call Hua Qingzhi over, and she was already prepared to be mercilessly crushed. As a result, she and Hua Qingzhi both felt confident.

Although the empress felt quite happy, she also knew that she was weighing a lot and joked:

"I still like Miss Hua's unruly look. I am not a moody tyrant. I can let go of my subordinates and speak freely without worrying about my identity."

Hua Qingzhi is not stupid. The emperor asked you to speak directly. You are a courteous and virtuous corporal. But if you speak the truth, it is a sure sign that you are talented and proud. She just smiled implicitly:

"Your Majesty is joking, the little girl made a careless move. In this situation, how can she turn her hand into clouds and rain. Besides, this move is indeed wonderful..."

The empress knew that 90% of Hua Qingzhi was complimenting her, but even if it was only 10% of the truth, it would still be the Little Chess Sage of Beiliang, praising her for her good chess play, right?

The Empress didn't bother to listen when she praised her for her martial arts skills, but when she praised her for playing chess well, she was really happy for several days. Perhaps she was coaxed to be happy, so the Empress frowned and said:

"The Hua family is a famous family in Hudong Road. I have heard about Mrs. Hua's mastery in governing the country for a long time. Your Majesty has also made great contributions to the Wei Dynasty. Since Miss Hua has come to the Wei Dynasty as a guest, how can I treat her badly? From now on If you have any questions in the future, just tell me clearly at any time."

"Alas, His Majesty treats the little girl so politely and does not care about past grudges. Why does the little girl still have any problems?"

"Yeah?"

The empress held the side of her face with her hands and ate a few more Hua Qingzhi pills:

"Xue Baijin kidnapped you and made you unable to return home, so you didn't complain at all?"

"..."

Hua Qingzhi blinked, feeling that these words were spoken from the bottom of her heart, but she did not dare to report Xue Baijin's situation in front of the emperor. What if something big happened and Mr. Ye was angry...

Hua Qingzhi thought for a while and just said:

"Nvxia Xue also had a misunderstanding. Now that the matter has come to this point, the little lady has looked away."

The empress didn't even look away, but she didn't think Hua Qingzhi could swallow her anger, so she said:

"Misunderstanding is misunderstanding, and compensation is compensation. After entering the door, I will let you be the big one and she will be the small one. If she dares to disobey, I will help you punish her."

"?"

Hua Qingzhi was stunned and said quickly:

"Your Majesty, Mr. Ye and I..."

"Play chess well. If you say these duplicitous words again, I will punish you."

"..."

Hua Qingzhi opened her mouth, not daring to confront the empress. She could only continue to let loose in silence...

At the same time, behind the golden tent.

Luo Ning and Pei Xiangjun were both family members and had no positions in the military camp. They had nothing to do and it was difficult to move around, so they both stayed in Fan Qinghe's tent.

After Fan Qinghe got the white lotus and lotus seeds, as the chief alchemist of the Dongming Department, he must study the properties of the medicine. Since Ye Jingtang left, he set up a medicine furnace in the military camp and tried to figure out several new medicines.

At this time, there was a medicine stove in the middle of the large tent. Fan Qinghe, wearing a red and yellow gauze skirt, opened the lid to observe the heat.

The big fluffy bird squatted on the shoulder and looked at it, looking like it wanted to help taste it.

At the table in the back, Luo Ning and Sanniang were standing and sitting, with medicine grinders and other items in front of them, helping Qinghe process the medicinal materials.

Because Ye Jingtang didn't care about official titles, it was only after they returned that they found out that Ye Jingtang was already a king with a different surname in the Wei Dynasty.

Ye Jingtang is the adopted son of the second uncle of the Pei family. As a member of the family, Pei Xiangjun is naturally very happy these days. At this time, he said softly:

"Jingtang has become a king now. You two, you should be careful in the future. Don't be the first to enter. In the end, you won't even be able to become a concubine or a concubine..."

Luo Ning held the medicine jar and pounded the medicine carefully, humming softly:

"You want to drag us into trouble again?"

Pei Xiangjun did mean this, but he couldn't say it clearly. He just said seriously:

"What do you mean by dragging you into the water? This is for your own good. If you two continue to flirt with each other, be careful that one of you will end up like this. When you see Qingzhi girl, you will have to call her Sister Hua..."

Before, when Fan Qinghe heard this, he would either stand with Ning'er or not speak.

But that was not the case today. When Fan Qinghe saw the two of them talking about this again, he covered the medicine stove, came and sat down in front of him, and looked at Ning'er who was not fooled:

"Sanniang is right. No matter how beautiful your daughter's family is, if there is no atmosphere, sooner or later the man will lose interest..."

?

Luo Ning paused while mixing the medicine and found that Qing He, the one with big breasts and round butt, had also rebelled. Her eyes suddenly became suspicious and she tilted her head to glance at the back of her waist:

"Qinghe, are you secretly taking advantage of Nightmare Hall?"

"..."

Fan Qinghe's expression froze slightly when she saw that Ning'er had noticed something wrong. She didn't dare to admit that she was playing such tricks secretly, so she could only say:

"You go ask the witch, she insists on causing trouble..."

When Luo Ning saw Qing He admitting, her eyes widened a bit, a little unbelievable:

"If she insists, you will accompany her?"

"Then...otherwise, what can I do..."

Fan Qinghe couldn't continue, so he stood up and went to the stove again, pretending to check the heat carefully.

When Sanniang heard that Qinghe Shui'er had made a mistake, she was filled with hatred for eternity. She felt extremely happy and continued:

"Ning'er, if you continue to be unsociable, we won't be able to play together in the future..."

"Who wants to play with you?"

"Ha~ It's not up to you. If you don't get into the water even though you're already in the water, Shui'er will definitely have to pull you out. You, it's best to prepare in advance..."

Luo Ning didn't want to hear this at all. She stood up holding the potion jar and sat somewhere else, pretending that she would rather die than surrender.

Outside the tent, there is a martial arts field.

There is a special open space behind the golden tent for the empress to take walks or practice martial arts on weekdays. Various weapons are also placed next to it.

As the sun set in the west, Dongfang Liren was dressed in white military uniform, holding a nine-foot-long stick in both hands, and stood in the field with a gun stand.

The Queen Mother, who also put on military uniform, stepped on the tip of the stick with the toes of one foot, which was as high as a person from the ground. She spread her arms to maintain balance and carefully perceived the details transmitted from the wooden stick under her feet.

Dongfang Liren could draw his gun or press down at any time. If the Empress Dowager could not detect the jump in advance, she would naturally have nowhere to use her strength to fall to the ground. This was considered one of Jie Yunzong's introductory training methods.

The Queen Mother has a foundation in Qinggong. After practicing hard these days, she has made significant progress. Dongfang Liren can randomly draw a gun and 70% of the time he can successfully fly into the air in advance.

Master Xuanji was as lazy as ever, leaning on a lounge chair on the edge of the field, holding a wine gourd in her hand. She looked like a female master watching her apprentice practice. After observing for a long time, she nodded in approval:

"Huaiyan, if you were as diligent as this when you were a child, you should be better than Li Ren now."

"?"

Before the Empress Dowager responded, Dongfang Liren, who was a sparring partner, already had a fat head and a bulging head. He turned his head to look at Nishi. The meaning in his eyes was probably - I have been training in winter and summer since I was a child. If I am not good at martial arts, I should not be a teacher. Your question?

However, Master has always been like this, so Dongfang Liren didn't care, he just looked at the Queen Mother who was standing motionless on the other end of the long stick:

"In the past, in the palace, the Queen Mother only practiced for fun. Why are you so diligent recently?"

The Queen Mother worked hard to practice Qing Gong, naturally because she was afraid that when one month was up, she had not learned how to intercept the clouds and would be frightened at night by stuffing her tail with a bell.

However, the Queen Mother did not dare to tell Li Ren about these matters. She just kept her breath on the tip of the stick and responded:

"Didn't you read that memoir? Empress Dowager Yan passed away at the age of seventy because she didn't study hard. With the lessons learned from the past, I will naturally have to practice martial arts well. Otherwise, in a hundred years, you will all become immortals, and I will be the only one. How lonely it is to be buried in a grave."

Dongfang Liren was in the underground palace and had indeed seen the ending of "The Secret History of Queen Marie Marie". He was about to say that he would have died at the age of seventy when he suddenly heard noises coming from outside the military camp:

"Greetings to Your Highness!"

"Oh, no courtesy, Prince Jing is still here, how can I dare to call you His Highness..."

…

When Dongfang Liren heard the sound of Night Terror Hall in the distance, he was naturally happy in his heart. He immediately put away his stick and walked out. As a result, the Queen Mother was distracted and fell directly. Fortunately, she was caught by Master Xuanji and flew to the military camp. Outside...

——

Hoof-tapping hoof-tapping...

The charcoal-red horses steaming with sweat stopped in the military camp, and countless admiring Wei generals and leaders of various ministries rushed over to pay homage.

Ye Jingtang dismounted from his horse, took off his hat to protect the sun, and said no more than a few words to the people coming towards him, when he saw Benben Shui'er and the Queen Mother appearing behind him, while Sanniang and the others were looking from afar from the golden tent.

In the important place of the military camp, Ye Jingtang couldn't bear to run over to hug his wife in public. After being polite to many generals, he came to Benben in the name of reinstatement:

"Your Highness."

Dongfang Liren still held his head high, but he was very satisfied with what Ye Jingtang had just said. When Ye Jingtang came over, he raised his hand and returned the salute:

"His Royal Highness King Lang has made a triumphant return, but I have come to welcome him from afar... Wow~?!"

Ye Jingtang walked up to him, and with lightning speed, he smacked Benben in the mouth, quickly returned to his natural appearance, and walked towards the golden tent:

"Is there anything to eat? I ate all dry food on the road. It's been a long time since I've had a hot meal."

Dongfang Liren's face turned red. Seeing that the soldiers didn't notice, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, followed him, and twisted his waist in the Night Terror Hall:

"You pervert, are you crazy?"

Master Xuanji handed the wine gourd to Ye Jingtang and joked:

"The Jie Feng Banquet is prepared for you at any time, and the food has already been served at the golden tent. I heard Huaiyan say that you will gain a lot from this trip."

The Empress Dowager, who was walking in front of her motherly demeanor, panicked when she heard these words and quickly squeezed the water out of her mouth:

"If you have anything to do, let's go to the Golden Tent. Since Night Terror Hall is so far away, let him eat something first."

"hehe……"

While they were chatting and laughing, they arrived at the golden tent.

The maids accompanying the empress were delivering various dishes and fine wines to the golden tent.

Yuhu was already sitting on the main seat, waiting with a smile in his eyes; Hua Qingzhi was sitting behind the desk neatly, her eyes were like seeing a life-saving straw when she saw him; and Sanniang Ning'er Qinghe was walking towards Walking away, Ning'er was still holding on to the bird that couldn't wait.

Ye Jingtang came to the large golden tent. Although the room was full of wives, there were still maids there after all, so he still stepped forward and bowed:

"Wei Chen has been frightened at night, and is here to pay his respects to His Majesty."

The empress nodded slightly and turned her head to look at the palace maid who was pouring wine:

"Everyone, please step back."

"yes."

Several palace ladies immediately nodded, exited the golden tent, and closed the door curtain.

After the empress waited for no one else in the tent, she regained her leisurely and graceful appearance, raised her hand and said:

"Today is a family dinner, no need to be polite, just sit down."

Although Sanniang Ning'er was folding Arhats together, they still had to pay attention to each other's clothes, so they took their seats at the table.

Ye Jingtang sat in front of Niao Niao, looked at the eight girls in the tent, thought for a while and picked up the wine glass:

"The stone tablet is too heavy and it moves slowly. I kept you waiting for a long time. I will punish myself with three drinks first."

Xuanji’s character didn’t change at all and responded directly:

"Drinking is too boring, why don't we come and have a drink?"

"..."

There was silence in the tent for a moment, and everyone's eyes looked strange.

Hua Qingzhi thought it was a normal recitation of poems and wanted to nod, but found that the atmosphere was wrong and asked again:

"What's wrong?"

Although Ye Jingtang wanted to do something big, with Qingzhi present, it was a bit too much, so he immediately changed the subject:

"We'll play later, let's talk about business first. I came over just now and saw that the front camp was already in formation and the siege vehicles and ladders were ready. Are you planning to attack the city tonight?"

Fan Qinghe knew that this time he was playing wine and ordering, and there must be a 'jade carrot' in the punishment. How could he dare to test the waters? Hearing this, he quickly answered:

"The soldiers of each tribe have been practicing for many days and have sharpened their swords. They have been preparing to attack the city a few days ago. However, this is the first battle for the restoration of the country by the tribes in the West Sea. You will definitely not be able to fight without you."

The empress nodded slightly: "Our soldiers and horses are strong, our morale is at the peak of the sun, and there are many fierce generals under our command; the people in Pingyi City are panicked, and the defenders have not dared to sleep a wink for several days. This battle can be won by Wang Chihu, but you must take the lead in the battle. In the end, It is best to climb and kill the generals and capture the flag first, so that the morale of Beiliang can be severely damaged."

When Ye Jingtang came over, he saw tens of thousands of people from all over the West Sea waiting for him. It was obviously inappropriate for him to drink here, so he immediately put the wine glass on the table:

"Then I'll go and destroy the city first, and then I'll have dinner when I come back."

"grumble?"

The birds cried greedily, and directly raised their claws to hold Ye Jingtang down.

The empress came to the city and waited for many days just to wait for Ye Jingtang to come back and gain military merit. Seeing this, she did not stop:

"Since you're asking for a fight, there's a bonus. After the war drums sound, you can climb to the top of the city in a quarter of an hour, and the beauties in the tent will take turns toasting you, mouth-to-mouth. How about that?"

"Um?!"

Hua Qingzhi was listening carefully when she found out that the empress actually said such unseemly words. She was obviously stunned. Before she could speak, she saw Mr. Ye stood up and walked out of the golden tent.

Dongfang Liren's eyes were a little strange. He waited until Ye Jingtang left before speaking:

"Sister, why do you so casually promise that when the Night Terror Hall comes back later, will the Queen Mother also have to propose a toast?"

The empress shrugged slightly: "Don't you think the wealth will go to outsiders? When we were princesses, the Queen Mother cared a lot about you and was always afraid that you would be harmed by the palace people. Are you still planning to let the Queen Mother remain a widow in the palace for the rest of her life?"

?

Dongfang Li has a very good relationship with the Queen Mother, and he is indeed worried about the Queen Mother's future, but what does it mean to "don't let the rich water flow to outsiders"?

Dongfang Liren was confused by his sister's question and frowned:

"Of course I don't think so, but for this kind of thing, I have to ask the Queen Mother what she means, right?"

As he spoke, he looked at the Queen Mother sitting next to him.

The Queen Mother knew that Yuhu was trying to give her a step, so she pursed her lips and was embarrassed to speak.

? !

Seeing this expression, Dongfang Liren naturally understood. He sat up a little straighter. After a moment of silence, he patted the table and stood up:

"This pervert!"

"Eh?"

The Queen Mother panicked and quickly raised her head:

"Li Ren, what are you doing?"

"I will beat the drum for him. If he cannot climb up within a quarter of an hour, I will chop him down myself."

"..."

The expressions of everyone present were a little strange, Hua Qingzhi being the worst among them. But before she could figure out her thoughts, thunderous drums sounded from the front of the camp, and the soldiers of the Western Navy shouted:

"Dong, dong, dong——"

"kill--"

"kill--"

…

Then there was the sound of intensively advancing footsteps, and drumbeats were obviously coming from Pingyi City in the distance.

The empress could tell what was going on outside just by her voice. She was just taking a sip from her wine glass. After waiting for a moment, a thunderous roar came from the wilderness:

"The Night Terror Hall is here. Anyone who surrenders will not be killed. Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

boom--

Then there was a blast of thunder in the distance, like a powerful dragon falling to the ground. Even the orderly advancing army was slightly confused.

The empress then stood up, came to the general ordering platform outside the golden tent, and looked up.

Sanniang and others also ran out quickly and secretly looked at the general stage.

The sun had set at this time, and the entire wilderness was enveloped in moonlight and firelight.

Dongfang Liren stood on the high platform, holding a drum hammer and beating the drum as high as a person. Although he was a little annoyed, he was still very serious about beating the drum to cheer his husband in front of the two armies.

At this time, eight thousand soldiers of the Western Navy were already pushing countless ladder siege vehicles towards the bottom of the city wall.

Between the two mountains, on top of the six-foot-tall towering city, there were densely packed Beiliang soldiers, firing bows and arrows downwards. There were also strong men who shot thunder, which exploded in the air and shot out countless fragments. It looks like brilliant fireworks all over the sky.

Ye Jingtang, who was leading the way, had already rushed to the city wall within a stone's throw of the city wall. He held a gun in one hand like a dragon walking in the wild. He jumped across the moat in an instant, raised his gun to sweep away the rain of arrows, and then struck a yellow dragon. It hit the city wall.

Boom——

But Pingyi City was built by Qianjimen in the past twenty years. The city wall is completely different from ordinary wall stacks. The bricks and clay of the wall are all fired using secret methods. Only molten oil can be broken. One shot from Ye Jingtang will be there. A white groove was left on the wall.

When Ye Jingtang found that he couldn't fight, he jumped directly to the top of the city, and then rushed left and right to clean up the miscellaneous soldiers.

Boom boom——

"kill--"

It was the first time for the elites from various departments in Xihai to engage in such a large-scale siege, and many of them were a little nervous at first.

But when they saw His Royal Highness King Tianlang, he was going to the top of the city all by himself. If these pawns were still cowardly, then they were not worthy of wearing this armor. They immediately ran at full speed, crossed the city river and began to build a ladder to rush towards the city.

It would be difficult for Ye Jingtang to kill the entire city's defenders on his own, no matter how skilled he was in martial arts. However, he didn't need to kill all the enemy troops alone. He only needed to hold the gap and cover the follow-up troops to climb up.

With the spiritual martial arts of Ye Jingtang, it is no problem to tear open a blank area of ​​more than ten feet wide on the city wall. The soldiers setting up ladders below do not have to worry about falling objects, pushing ladders, pouring gold juice, etc., they can only use Beware of the bows and arrows coming from the left and right, you can attack them with a big shield.

It's easy to just climb up the city wall and follow up. The defenders can't shoot randomly. They just need to use the Night Terror Hall as the core and push forward inch by inch to expand the gap.

Several direct descendants of the Four Major Ministries originally wanted to rush up to the Night Terror Hall to show their loyalty as soldiers, but they found that standing in front of the Night Terror Hall was purely a punishment, and they couldn't even touch anyone. If there were hidden arrows coming, they would have to Let King Tianlang protect them, and eventually attack the left wing instead, leaving Ye Jingtang to lead the right wing alone.

After watching Wushuang mow the grass for a moment, the empress shook her head and sighed:

"Master Xiang Han, Zhong Sunjin and others have not come out. It seems that Beiliang is preparing to abandon the West Sea Protectorate and stick to the east of the lake."

Master Xuanji nodded slightly, feeling that this situation was also expected.

The Shatuo tribe's surprise attack on the Wuma tribe failed, and the Xihai Protectorate lost the control of the Xihai tribes and had no chance to counterattack, so it could only try to hold on.

However, the various ministries in the West Sea were reintegrated, and the Wei Dynasty was behind it as the financial backer. It was full of military virtue and wealth. It was impossible to defend the three isolated cities in the West Sea alone, and it could only be guarded for a long time.

What Beiliang can do now is to let the Xihai Protectorate hold on with all its strength, trade space for time, and build a defense line on the east coast of Tianlang Lake day and night to deal with the winter offensives from the Southern Dynasty and Xihai.

Tianlang Lake is a natural barrier that divides the east and west coasts. No matter in winter or summer, the east side of the lake, which is rich in resources, has the greatest advantage. The Wei Dynasty swallowed up all the tribes in the West Sea and had to digest and manage them. It is difficult to be greedy for power and rush forward. Beiliang has this Time to breathe.

Xiang Hanshi and Zhongsun Jin are both wise and courageous figures. Staying in Hudong to advance and retreat can ensure that Beiliang's basic position is not lost.

And if we continue to invest manpower and bring Master Xiang Han over to defend the three cities of Xihai, if we die on the battlefield, our base may be at risk.

Master Xuanji thought about it for a moment and asked:

"We can't build warships here in the West Sea, and if we have ships, it's difficult to wash them ashore. Only when the lake freezes in winter can we have the opportunity to attack the city. Should we fight then?"

The empress thought for a while and said: "The Protectorate of the West Sea is gone, and Beiliang just loses an unsteady enclave. The Hudong Road is gone, and the country will be destroyed directly. It is not that easy to conquer Hudong, so we can only wait until winter. It depends on the timing.”

While the two were talking like this, nearly a thousand soldiers of the Western Navy had already rushed to the top of the city. Soon after, the completely sealed city gate was also broken open from the inside. The soldiers of the reserve battalion immediately came out and headed towards Ping An. The Yicheng troops rushed away, but the Beiliang garrison showed obvious signs of retreat, and a large number of troops withdrew from the east gate.

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, the empress stopped watching the battle and turned back to the golden tent.
