Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 779 Bloodbath in Dan City

"Master, don't worry, we still have hundreds of thousands of troops, and we still have the strength to fight. Besides, Dazhou and Xixia will definitely send troops to reinforce us."

Zheng Guohua comforted.

"Reinforce us? By the time they come to reinforce us, we will have been destroyed by the Chinese Empire!"

Zheng Yuanjie looked a little frustrated.

"My lord, take care of yourself. This general will definitely stop the Chinese Empire's army."

Zheng Guohua clasped his fists and said, turned around and left.

Zheng Yuanjie looked at his leaving figure and said something.

"It seems that the only way to hold back the Chinese Empire's army is to send the princess to get married."

"Your Majesty, now that we know that Emperor Yongtai has arrived in Yancheng, why not ask General Zheng to send the princess there?"

Kuangwuya emerged from the black shadow and whispered.

"He is just a martial artist, and he speaks very straightforwardly. If we let him go, I am worried that he will fail, so we should trouble the Imperial Master to go there in person, right?"

Zheng Yuanjie said in a deep voice.

"The veteran is willing to share the worries of the king!"

Kuangwuya readily agreed.

"Since Emperor Yongtai is a pervert, I bear the pain and give him the most beautiful Ninth Princess, hoping that he can help me hold him back, or at least slow down his attack."

Zheng Yuanjie explained in a low voice.

"The Ninth Princess is the most beautiful girl in the Zheng Kingdom. As long as she is willing to marry Emperor Yongtai, it is estimated that with her ability, she can make Lu Hao give up attacking the Zheng Kingdom."

Kuangwuya said happily.

"That's not certain. Emperor Yongtai, a man of great talent and talent, would never give up attacking Zheng just for a woman. I just hope to slow down their attack."

Zheng Yuanjie saw clearly, and he also saw Lu Hao's determination to destroy Zheng Guo.

However, if such a stunning beauty is sent over, maybe he will be addicted to Wenrou Township and slow down his attack speed.

"Has the ninth princess's ideological work been completed? If she is unwilling, it may be counterproductive."

Kuangwuya asked.

"We made it clear last night. Although there was a lot of resistance, she finally agreed for Zheng Guo."

Zheng Yuanjie spoke in an understatement, but could not hide a hint of worry.

It was obvious that the king must have used both soft and hard tactics to do the ideological work for the Ninth Princess last night, so that the Ninth Princess had to get married.

In fact, the Ninth Princess had always been unwilling to marry the murderer. In the end, Zheng Yuanjie disobeyed and wanted to kill her mother, which made her finally give in.

In order to confront the Chinese Empire, Zheng Guo promoted Lu Hao as a murderous demon king. This man came from hell, had a green face and long fangs, was ruthless, and specialized in eating people's hearts.

The Ninth Princess was just a girl. After hearing that Emperor Yongtai was such a wicked person, she was naturally unwilling to get married.

Zheng Yuanjie threatened to kill her mother, and then she was forced to grit her teeth and agreed.

Since the Ninth Princess is willing to marry, Kuangwuya takes a team of palace guards to escort the Ninth Princess to Yancheng and presents the beautiful princess to Emperor Yongtai.

……

The main palace of Yancheng City.After Lu Hao and Xuanyuan Lingyu had breakfast and immediately carried out supplies on the spot, they led the army directly to the next main city, which was Hanzhou City.

This city is not a small city like Yancheng, but a strong main city with more than 5000 soldiers guarding the city.

Because after the fall of Yancheng last night, General Tian who was defending the city immediately started to set up defenses and prepared a lot of stone sleepers, as well as many shields and bows and arrows for the soldiers of the Chinese Empire.

If it were the age of cold weapons, these defensive equipment would be enough to block the siege ladders. However, the Chinese Empire was an army of hot weapons.

They did not need to rely on siege tools such as ladders, but carried enough explosive bags to blow up the entire city gate.

Once the city gate is blown up, who can stop the bullet?

From Yancheng to Hanzhou City, it is only about 100 kilometers. If it were run by horse, it would be more than an hour's journey.

After all, the territories of Zheng and Yue were slightly wider than those of Jin and Shu. If it were not for the mountainous area that limited the speed of the cavalry, two days and one night would be enough to cross the entire Zheng.

In order to transport military supplies to the front line, the road from here to Hanzhou City is relatively spacious, five or six meters wide. Even if it is narrow, at least two carriages can pass side by side.

After last night's rest, the horses and soldiers were fully rested. Therefore, the troops were divided into two groups. Cao Ming led [-] soldiers southward, aiming directly at Dancheng.

Xuanyuan Lingyu led the main army and charged towards Hanzhou City.

The distance between Yancheng and Dancheng is similar to that from Yancheng to Hanzhou City. It is also more than an hour's horse ride, and the road heading south is also good.

Cao Ming led an independent battle for the first time. He was so motivated that it only took him an hour to watch Dancheng.

However, after Dancheng knew that Yancheng had fallen, it began to set up defenses from last night to prevent the Chinese Empire's troops from coming.

The size of Dancheng is similar to that of Yancheng, and it is also the closest frontier city to the Dawan Strait in Zheng State.

If you start from here and go all the way east, over the high mountains, you can reach the Dawan Strait. If you continue eastward along the coastline of the Dawan Strait, you can reach the southwest minority areas of the Chinese Empire.

It was here that Zheng Guo sent envoys across the mountains to the Chinese Empire and persuaded the ethnic minorities to rebel.

Today, the Chinese Empire's army made a large circle from the north and finally saw this isolated border city.

"This general is General Cao Mingcao of the first main force of the Central Army of the Chinese Empire. I now order you to lay down your weapons and surrender in Kaicheng. I can guarantee the safety of your lives and property. If not, I will wash the city with blood!"

Cao Ming's voice sounded.

General Ning, who was guarding the city, saw the neat cavalry troops of the Chinese Empire approaching the city. He was panicking, but he pretended to be calm.

"General Cao, I am General Ning of the Zheng State. I have been stationed at the border fortress all year round. Do you think you can easily capture Dan City after you sneak attack on Dan City? You are dreaming!"

General Ning yelled angrily.

"General Ning, to tell you the truth, don't tell me that you only have 5000 people. Even 5 people can't stop my general's cavalry. I kindly persuade you to surrender to give you a way to survive. You can consider it. Once the order is given to attack the city, , but there is no chance.”

Cao Ming followed Lu Hao's wishes and persuaded him to surrender.

After all, he came to conquer the entire Zheng State, not to kill all the people in the Zheng State.

"The emperor said that as long as he surrenders and changes to the imperial flag, he can become a general of the empire and enjoy the previous treatment, and all the soldiers will be spared death."

Cao Ming said, raising the rifle in his hand.

boom!
Gunshots rang out, and a goshawk in mid-air fluttered a few times after being shot, and finally fell down.

"You have also seen that this is the empire's new weapon rifle. It can kill soldiers thousands of meters away. If you want to block our attack, you will die!"

Cao Ming continued to persuade.
