Become a feudal king from today

"General Luther, what should we do now?"

Across the Yuntai River, their soldiers scattered in all directions, like headless flies. It was impossible to reorganize at the moment.

In a war, once the military formation is in chaos, it basically means failure.

"Retreat, immediately retreat to Sioux City. At the same time, let the troops in the cities along the river abandon their cities and head to Sioux City together." Luther said with difficulty.

At present, there are only 50,000 soldiers and horses in Jinling City, and there are only 50,000 soldiers and horses in the trenches on the eastern front.

One hundred thousand soldiers and horses were unable to stop King Yan's army.

It was impossible for soldiers from other cities to arrive before King Yan conquered Jinling.

Although the raid failed, there are still about 150,000 remaining soldiers.

However, these insurgent soldiers cannot have any effect on the battle situation at the moment, and may actually be detrimental to the situation.

For example, the remaining soldiers retreated towards the Yuntai River.

These remnants will only counterattack the military formation and cause even greater trouble.

After they go to Su City, it will not be too late to gather these remaining soldiers.

"Oh, Jinling, my Jinling, my life." Hearing this, Xie Duan beat his chest and feet, wishing he could be knocked to the ground.

But he knew very well that what Luther said was true.

King Yan's army is taking advantage of the chaos to attack them, and they will not be able to leave if they don't leave.

Han Zheng and Wang Zi'an looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

Originally, he had counted on this raid to regain his confidence, but now he suffered a heavy blow.

"Brother Xie, let's go, keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood." Han Zheng patted Xie Duan on the shoulder.

Xie Duan gritted his teeth again and finally headed towards Jinling City.

Luther looked deeply at the battlefield, and the intense frustration made him almost go crazy.

He was defeated at Niutoutan, and he was defeated again at Jinling City.

The glory of his life was completely lost in Dasong.

"I will definitely win back what I lost. I haven't lost yet." Luther said bitterly, clenching his fists.

Then, he also followed Xie Duan towards Jinling City.

He didn't dare to stay here longer. With a hundred thousand soldiers and horses, he might be able to hold on for a while, but King Yan's army was very cunning, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to leave if he wanted to.

As soon as Luther, Xie Duan and others left, the battlefield completely lost control.

The soldiers of the Shi tribe who ran to the Yuntai River fought for boats in order to cross the river.

Some soldiers didn't care and jumped into the river and swam to the other side.

Some people couldn't swim at all. After struggling in the river for a while, they floated up from the water and drowned.

While the Yuntai River was in chaos, the soldiers of the royal family were orderly.

The soldiers responsible for building the bridge were protected by two rows of soldiers in the middle.

They didn't pay attention to the scattered soldiers, and only focused on the Jinling City opposite.

When they reached the river bank, the soldiers put the boat into the water. The following soldiers put down the boat again and connected it with iron chains. After a while, a boat bridge was built on the Yuntai River.

Other royal soldiers crossed the river along the boat bridge and rushed towards Jinling City.

Along the way, they encountered no resistance at all.

After crossing the second trench, they successfully entered Jinling City and quickly controlled all the important roads in Jinling City.

Some generals even led their soldiers to climb up the city wall. They waved the flags in their hands and cheered outside.

This Jinling City is the Imperial City of Dasong, and everyone in the world knows it.

Now that they have recovered this imperial city, they are naturally excited.

"Hahaha……"

At the Yuntai River, generals such as Zhao Xu and Chang Wei also crossed the river under the protection of soldiers.

Looking at the cheering soldiers on the city wall, Zhao Xu, Chang Wei and others laughed heartily.

Originally, there was supposed to be a fierce battle to be fought in Jinling City.

But the greed of the powerful people was equivalent to giving Jinling City to them in vain.

Now the remnants of the powerful army are continuing to flee southward with their tail between their legs.

But it doesn't matter, no matter where they go, the royal army will eventually annihilate them.

The recovery of Jinling City meant the first major victory in the southward campaign.

It will greatly boost the confidence of soldiers.

"I think back then, the general had been serving the Jinling Palace for five years. Every plant and tree in the palace was familiar to the general. I wonder if the palace today is still the same as before." Chang Wei said.

Zhao Xu nodded.

Although Yancheng has now built a new imperial city.

But everyone still misses the old imperial city.

For example, Concubine Mi and some royal families often mentioned the prosperity of Jinling in front of them.

Zhao Xu looked at Jinling City, and something in his heart was touched.

Maybe it comes from some memories in my mind.

After all, the Ninth Prince grew up in Jinling since he was a child and has a very deep affection for this place.

But even so, he had no idea of ​​moving the capital to Jinling again.

None of the contemporary dynasties with their capital in Jinling ended well.

Entering Jinling City with Chang Wei and others, the group went straight to the palace.

At this moment, the palace soldiers have taken control of the entire palace.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace who had no time to escape were detained in the square outside the Jinluan Palace and knelt on the ground.

When Zhao Xu arrived, some old eunuchs and maids immediately recognized him and kept saying: "Your Majesty, Ninth Prince, please spare your life. Your Majesty, Ninth Prince, please spare your life. We are also forced to serve the eldest prince, please spare our lives..."

Kneeling opposite the eunuchs and maids were some palace ministers, many of whom looked very familiar to Zhao Xu.

They fell to the ground, shivering.

During the Jinling Rebellion, they chose to support the eldest prince and stayed in Jinling City to assist the eldest prince.

Now King Yan came and they didn't have time to escape, they were scared to death.

Like the eunuchs, they also kept begging for mercy.

Zhao Xu snorted coldly, these eunuchs and maids were all selected into the palace, or some were innocent people.

But all the powerful ministers who followed the eldest prince had blood on their hands.

Furthermore, since they chose the eldest prince, they are now traitors.

He said: "After interrogation, the eunuchs and maids were found guilty and punished, while those found guilty were sent out of the palace. All the rebellious ministers were imprisoned and executed."

"Yes, Your Highness." The general responsible for detaining the soldiers gave a military salute.

Chang Wei nodded slightly, his waist straight and his neck stiff, like a fighting cock.

He has been like this since entering the palace.

In the past, when he served as a small flag of the imperial guard in the palace, he had no idea how much anger he suffered.

Now, he has returned again and is already the number one general under the command of King Yan, quite proud of returning to his hometown in glory.

Qin Shan and Guantong were once Chang Wei's subordinates, and so were they. They were all in high spirits at this moment.

Lu Chang was different. He grew up in Yanzhou and had never been to Jinling, let alone seen the Jinling Palace, so he looked at everything curiously.

Zhao Xu was about to enter the Jinluan Palace after announcing the plans to deal with the eunuchs, maids, and traitors.

At this time, a general came quickly and said, "Your Highness, General Chang, the treasury and granary of Jinling City are all intact."

"Great, they must have run in a hurry. They didn't have time to take it away or destroy it." Chang Wei looked excited.

When Zhao Xu heard this, a smile appeared on his lips.

This time, they really made a lot of money.
