The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

"General Zhao?"

After hearing what Ye Feng and Madam Xinling said outside the shield formation, many soldiers looked at Zhao Tai, and their inner will to fight collapsed in an instant.

Zhao Tai sighed inwardly. In the current situation, even if he wanted to fight to the death with many soldiers, it would be impossible. With the combat effectiveness of Ye Feng's cavalry, even if Zhao Xiong successfully reached Shangyou Pass, he would surely be defeated in the end.

"Surrender!"

Without further ado, he gave the order.

Hua Hua Hua...

When many soldiers heard Zhao Tai's words, they felt relieved. Finally, they would not have to die on the battlefield. They threw the heavy shields in their hands to the ground and knelt on the ground.

"Greetings to the Lord of Zhenguo."

Only at this moment did Zhao Tai truly see the black-armored cavalry in front of him. Only when he felt it up close did he realize how terrifying the black-armored cavalry was.

No wonder the 20,000 cavalry led by Yuan Tan were completely wiped out by the enemy in just two hours. The combat effectiveness of the two was hugely different.

He was especially shocked when he saw Li Shanxiao, who was riding a black warhorse and holding a hook-and-sickle spear, and was actually a powerful man at the level of a grandmaster.

Such a strong man was actually willing to work for Ye Feng. One must know that a person at the Grand Master level can establish a sect and enjoy a high status no matter where he goes in Jiuzhou.

"Don't worry! Since I promised to forgive the past, I will not hold you responsible for following Zhao Xiong in the rebellion. As soldiers, you are just following orders." Ye Feng looked at Zhao Tai and the others. He could see some fear in their eyes, afraid that he would hold them responsible. He said, "From now on, you are soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty. If you encounter foreign enemies and dare to surrender, you will be guilty of exterminating your entire clan."

"I will not surrender until I die!"

Zhao Tai was afraid that Ye Feng would think they were spineless, so he shouted loudly.

……

"Open the city gate quickly."

Zhao Xiong, with more than 50,000 soldiers behind him, ran as fast as he could and finally arrived outside Shangyouguan before Yang Zaixing and Zhong Feihua caught up.

He saw a man standing on the city wall. He was Zhuang Gui, the defender of Shangyouguan. When he saw that it was Zhao Xiong under the city wall, he did not dare to delay and ordered his soldiers to open the city gate.

"General Zhuang Gui pays homage to His Majesty."

Zhuang Gui, along with several lieutenants, came before Zhao Xiong and bowed.

"Close the city gate quickly."

Zhao Xiong ordered the army to enter Shangyouguan as quickly as possible and quickly gave orders to Zhuang Gui.

Zhuang Gui ordered the soldiers to close the city gates. His eyes flickered as he thought to himself, "Who on earth is this Zhenguojun? How could he have guessed that Zhao Xiong would lead a large army to Shangyouguan?"

Just three days ago, Yang Zaixing and Zhong Feihua brought Ye Feng to Shangyouguan in advance and told him that Zhao Xiong would lead a large army to Shangyouguan.

"Your Highness, where are you going? Why do I feel like there are pursuers behind us?" Zhuang Gui looked indifferent. He pretended not to know that Zhao Xiong led his troops to attack Yuancheng, and asked with some confusion.

Zhao Xiong looked calm. He did not hide the truth and said directly, "Zhao Shun was rioting in Yuancheng. I personally led the army to suppress it, but unexpectedly, Ye Feng led the Black Armor Cavalry to attack Yecheng. Yang Zaixing and Zhong Feihua became traitors and surrounded and chased my army. I could only come to Shangyouguan and use the city wall to resist the enemy."

"Yang Zaixing and Zhong Feihua are two ungrateful traitors. How dare they betray the prince?" Zhuang Gui was furious and cursed, "The prince has led the army to Shangyouguan. Don't worry. Unless I die in battle, I will never let the enemy successfully attack the city."

Zhao Xiong was somewhat moved by Zhuang Gui's words. The continuous betrayals made him feel a little sad. He secretly regretted why he didn't know Zhuang Gui was so loyal before. He immediately said, "When I defeat Ye Feng, I will promote you to be in charge of Shangyou City."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhuang Gui bowed and saluted, but he sighed inwardly, thinking: "My Lord, I'm sorry. In order to survive and avoid the extermination of my entire clan, I can only do this. You are indeed no match for the Lord of the State. Every step has been predicted by him."

Hua Hua Hua...

Outside Shangyou Pass, Yang Zaixing and Zhong Feihua led the army and followed closely. They smiled at each other, and Yang Zaixing spoke first, "Old Zhong, what kind of existence do you think the King of the State is? He can ride a horse to kill the enemy in battle, write poems and songs, and govern the country in the court. It's a pity that he can't practice martial arts. Otherwise, he is very likely to be the most versatile person in Jiuzhou."

After Zhao Xiong led the army from Yecheng, almost every step was predicted by Ye Feng. And, everything they did was to force Zhao Xiong to lead the army into Shangyouguan.

There are thousands of troops stationed in Shangyouguan all year round, and the food and grass reserves can only support half a month. But now more than 50,000 troops have suddenly been added, and the food and grass can only support three days at most before they will be completely exhausted. Without food and grass, Zhao Xiong's army will collapse without fighting.

In his heart, he admired Ye Feng, and thought of the "Liangzhou Ci" written by him, "Don't laugh at me sleeping drunk on the battlefield, how many people have ever returned from the battles in history?"

clatter! clatter! clatter!

On the city wall, Zhao Xiong began to deploy troops to prepare to resist Ye Feng's siege.

Seeing the black-armored cavalry heading towards Shangyouguan, horror flashed in the depths of his eyes. Just by looking at the momentum of the charge, he could feel that the cavalry under Ye Feng's command were very powerful.

Ye Feng rode his warhorse to the outside of Shangyou Pass and said loudly: "Prince Zhao, I advise you to lead your troops to surrender. I will spare your life and let you live a carefree life."

"Hahaha... You want me to surrender?" Zhao Xiong laughed loudly, his face full of anger and said, "You traitor, if you hadn't tried your best to incite my son to rebel first, and then incite Yang Zaixing and Zhong Feihua to rebel, you would not be my opponent in a head-on battle. Who would win is still unknown."

"Warfare is the art of deception? It's ridiculous that you can't even understand such a simple truth." Ye Feng was too lazy to waste time talking to Zhao Xiong.

If he didn't have too few soldiers, he could lead the black armor cavalry to completely sweep Zhao Xiong. He ordered: "Surround Shangyouguan, and don't let even a fly fly out."

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside Shangyou Pass, Zhao Xiong's face became extremely ugly. Generals such as Xiao Jian who were sitting in front of him also had solemn expressions. They all knew that the food and grass in Shangyou Pass were almost consumed and the soldiers could not get enough to eat.

The most important thing is that on their way to Shangyou City, in order to speed up the march, Zhao Xiong ordered all soldiers to abandon all the baggage. Otherwise, they could have held out for a few more days.

Hua Hua Hua...

At this moment, a noisy sound was heard outside the tent, and Zhuang Gui came to the tent, his face full of panic, and said: "My lord, something big has happened! The soldiers have mutinied!"

Zhao Xiong and other generals suddenly stood up, his face full of anger, and asked: "Why is there a mutiny?"
