Daqian launched another siege. This time, Lei Pokong and Xu Wu were the main generals and they dispatched an army of 50,000.

But the result was unexpected, the city was not taken, Xu Wu was injured, and more than 10,000 people were lost, including three chariots.

"Their main general has been replaced."

There was frustration on Xu Wu's face. This was the first time he had suffered a setback since he went on the expedition for so long.

"He was replaced by a young general, who was quite arrogant and capable. He caught me in a dozen moves and I was at a disadvantage. Fortunately, Brother Lei helped me in time."

"I also have information from spies. Chai Fang was assassinated and Long Jie was arrested and imprisoned. The current commander is Zheng Qing, the son of Zheng Feiying. The deputy commander is Zhao Lian, a man who has been assisting the Heavenly Wolf Emperor and giving him advice for many years."

Lin Xiaofan said.

"It's Zheng Qing now! Great, the spy inside is doing a great job! I was just wondering how to take this city, so I replaced him with a young general."

Sun Wufeng's face was full of joy.

"I know this guy. He has some abilities, but not enough combat experience. If he is the commander, this battle will be easier."

……

On the city wall, Zheng Qing laughed out loud as he looked at the retreating army.

"Daqian is nothing more than that. My father was defeated by them only because of a mistake."

The soldiers on the city wall also waved their weapons excitedly, and the gloom of the past siege was swept away.

In this battle, the enemy's invincible and unstoppable general was stabbed by Zheng Qing for more than ten rounds. If the enemy had not rescued him quickly, his head would have been hanging on the city wall.

"General Zheng is mighty."

Zhao Lian also breathed a sigh of relief.

He watched the whole battle. This Zheng Qing was really capable and had some of the style of his father Zheng Feiying.

The capital of Tianlang Kingdom should be able to be defended.

In the next few days, Daqian seemed unable to wait any longer and launched an offensive every day, and the situation on both sides became increasingly stalemate.

Most of the time, the Tianlang Kingdom had the upper hand, but there were also a few times when Daqian was able to tear a hole in the city wall.

If they fight a few more battles like this, Daqian will probably be defeated soon.

But Zhao Lian's face didn't look very good.

The consecutive victories seemed to make Zheng Qing a little bit proud.

Did Daqian do this on purpose?

But every time he had this thought, Daqian would launch another fierce attack, even to the point where the city walls were about to collapse.

Even if he wanted to make a suggestion, he had no idea where to start.

Another battle, and it was extremely brutal.

Daqian fought from day till night, and tens of thousands of people died. At the end of the battle, Zheng Qing was sweating profusely, and one side of the city wall was almost destroyed.

Fortunately, he held on.

The city wall was recaptured, and Daqian's Linchong lost nearly half of its troops. This battle can be said to be a great victory.

But Zhao Lian knew that Zheng Qing did not use his full strength.

There were more than 100,000 defenders in the city, but he left 100,000 soldiers to rest and adjust the situation. It only took him tens of thousands of soldiers to resist Daqian's attack this time.

"The enemy's morale is low, while ours is high. Gather 100,000 troops and launch an attack!"

Zheng Qing had a look of joy on his face.

He has been waiting for this moment for so many days.

In fact, he had only used 70% of his strength these days, leaving 30% of his strength. The reason why the city wall almost fell several times was because he was pretending to be weak.

I have been pretending for so long just for this opportunity.

Now Daqian has suffered a great defeat and suffered heavy losses, and the military strength of both sides has been equalized.

Under such circumstances, he couldn't think of any way that Daqian could resist his 100,000 troops.

"But the emperor has ordered that we are not allowed to leave the city. How about we report to the emperor first?"

Although the situation is very good, Zhao Lian is still a little worried.

"Opportunities are rare and will never come back. It will take at least an hour to go back and forth, and the other side will have already made their arrangements. How can we let go of this opportunity that has finally come? Let's go out of the city and give chase. I'll take the responsibilities if anything goes wrong."

Zheng Qing said.

Zhao Lian was speechless. This was indeed a good opportunity. If he didn't leave the city to pursue the enemy, he might be blamed.

The city gates were opened and a hundred thousand troops marched out to fight.

The army of 100,000 was ambushed and surrounded.

Zheng Qing fought desperately to break out, carved out a bloody path, and finally returned home with more than twenty remaining riders.

The battle was decided. At night, Lin Xiaofan and Sun Wufeng came to a corner of the military camp where Zheng Feiying was imprisoned.

"Won?"

Zheng Feiying raised his head, the high-spirited look on his face had disappeared completely.

"how do you know?"

Lin Xiaofan asked back.

“That’s how I lost.”

Zheng Feiying smiled bitterly. Back then, he rashly went out of the city to attack the camp, but ended up falling into a trap and more than 20,000 people died.

When he heard the shouting and killing in the camp this time, he realized that the Tianlang Kingdom could not bear it anymore.

"Long Jie has always been steady, while Chai Fang is more reckless. In the capital of Tianlang State, there are no other generals who can be called up except these two. The one who lost to you is Chai Fang, right?"

Zheng Feiying asked.

"Guess again."

Lin Xiaofan shook his head slightly.

"Long Jie?"

Zheng Feiying couldn't believe it.

"Guess again."

Lin Xiaofan shook his head.

"You say it."

"Zheng Qing."

There was silence for a moment. Zheng Feiying suddenly stood up, his hands and feet were tied. He exerted his whole body force and overturned the table.

"What a mess! Why did the Heavenly Wolf Emperor let Qing'er be the commander? He has only fought a few battles!"

Zheng Feiying's emotions were somewhat out of control.

"I used a counter-espionage strategy, Chai Fang died, and Long Jie was imprisoned."

Lin Xiaofan explained.

Zheng Feiying was very excited and it took him a while to come back to his senses.

“This is destiny.”

……

"Useless! A bunch of useless! Take them away and kill them!"

The Wolf King looked at the battle report in front of him. Zhao Lian and Zheng Qing, who were already kneeling on the ground, had their faces turned green.

We told them to defend well, but they refused to listen. As a result, they fought a decisive battle with the enemy in Kaesong and fell into an ambush.

There are only 40,000 to 50,000 defenders left in the city. How can we defend it? What can we do?

Although he had sent a bird to deliver a message to Bao Tan in the north, asking him to return to the city as soon as possible for support, it would take at least a month to go back and forth.

Defend the city? Can't do it.

The Wolf King felt a little regretful and wondered why he replaced Long Jie with Zheng Qing.

After venting his anger, he calmed down, glanced at the many ministers in the court, and asked:

"Everyone, the message has been sent out. If nothing unexpected happens, Bao Tan will send troops to support us within a month. Who is willing to take the position of the general who defends the city in a month's time?"

The generals below lowered their heads one after another, and no one dared to step forward.

They knew their own strengths and weaknesses. They could not defend against Daqian's attack.

"Don't I have a single courageous general under my command?"

The Wolf King asked.

That's right, all the courageous ones are dead.

The generals below complained.

They had given up hope of defending the city. As long as they could save their lives, they might even be able to keep their official positions after the battle.

The Sirius Emperor glanced at the generals below, sighed, and waved to the soldiers at the door:

"Go and bring Long Jie up."

Now, he can only place his hope on Long Jie.
