"General Zhou, if we had known earlier we should not have sent troops to support Tianchang County."

Seeing the gate of Yuling City being breached, a deputy general followed Zhou Erda with a look of regret. If Tianchang County had sent people to ask for help before, and had not mobilized 20,000 soldiers to Tianchang County, they would have 50,000 soldiers in their hands. Even if Ye Feng led more than 60,000 soldiers to breach Yuling City, they would be able to hold out for a while, at least until the reinforcements from Longkang County arrived.

"It's useless to be upset now. Send someone to Nanyu City immediately to inform the prince that Yuling City has been breached and request support." Zhou Erda saw the enemy army breaching the gate of Yuling City. Although he looked solemn, he did not panic. He made arrangements in an orderly manner and said, "The rest of the soldiers, follow me and retreat while fighting, and retreat back to the city lord's mansion. As long as we defend the city lord's mansion, the prince will send reinforcements, and we can cooperate inside and outside to counterattack the enemy."

Hua Hua Hua...

Zhou Erda had more than 10,000 soldiers around him, and they quickly retreated throughout Yuling City. Many civilians and warriors in Yuling City knew that the enemy had broken through the city gate, so they had already hidden in their own houses and quietly watched the situation outside from the windows.

"General Sun, if the enemy wants to retreat, they must retreat back to the City Lord's Mansion and wait for reinforcements. You are now leading 30,000 soldiers, charge forward immediately and go all out. Anyone who is unwilling to surrender will be killed without mercy." When Ye Feng saw Zhou Erda retreating with more than 10,000 soldiers, he guessed the other party's intention directly.

Now Yuling City has also been attacked. Upon hearing this, Sun Zizai, holding that unique kitchen knife in his hand, showed very strong cultivation.

The kitchen knife in his hand was very fast. Whenever the enemy tried to attack him, their necks would be quickly cut by the knife, and they would fall to the ground and die.

"As ordered!"

Sun Zizai and Ge Qing brought 30,000 soldiers with them. When they saw Zhou Erda retreating, they naturally would not let him go as he wished, and they chased him madly.

Dashan rushed forward with his burly body, and he swung his mace with such terrifying power. With such huge force, any soldier who stood in front of him was smashed to pieces by the mace.

"General Zhou, let's surrender. The enemy's fighting power is too strong." A deputy general saw the soldiers rushing forward and being slaughtered one-sidedly by Dashan's mace, and he was furious.

With the addition of Madam Xinling, a seventh-rank junior grandmaster, as well as Xun Zhiwen, Zhang Yan, Wei Xian and others, Zhou Erda's remaining 10,000-odd soldiers became less and less.

Sun Zizai also has the cultivation level of a fifth-rank junior grandmaster. His swordsmanship is superb. Although he can only make three desperate strikes with the sword, it is enough to kill the enemy on the battlefield.

"Yes! If we continue fighting like this, all our brothers will die in battle. Let's surrender!" Another centurion said to Zhou Erda with an unwilling look on his face.

Whoa!

Zhou Erda gritted his teeth, suddenly drew the sword from his waist, and chopped off the head of the captain who was giving him advice with one sword.

"Anyone who dares to talk about surrender again will be killed without mercy!" Zhou Erda obviously wanted to use the life of the centurion to make an example of him. As for the deputy general who was the first to advise, he did not dare to kill him rashly because he still needed him to fight and command the battle.

sizzle...

Seeing the centurion who had just advised surrender being beheaded, several lieutenants' eyes were filled with vigilance and fear. The rest of the soldiers dared not say a word and could only follow and fight while retreating.

bang bang bang...

Dashan waved the mace, and with his burly body, he rushed into the middle of Zhou Erda's many soldiers at a very fast speed. The mace kept sweeping, and the soldiers were blown away one by one. No soldier dared to step forward within a range of ten meters around his body. Zhou Erda wanted to retreat with the rest of the soldiers, but he never expected that Ge Qing with five thousand soldiers had already gone around to the back and blocked their retreat while he was fighting and retreating.

"Brothers, let's fight them to the death today!"

Zhou Erda raised the spear in his hand and the spiritual energy in his body began to flow. He was sent by King Nanyu to guard Yuling City. His cultivation must be stronger than Lu Xun and he must have reached the level of fifth-grade junior grandmaster. Seeing that his way was blocked by the enemy behind him, his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"We surrender!"

"We surrender!"

"Don't kill us!"

Just as Zhou Erda said the words "fight to the death", the two deputy generals beside him rushed out quickly, knelt on the ground and threw their weapons aside.

Seeing the two deputy generals surrender first, many soldiers followed suit and knelt on the ground. They also chose to crawl on the ground and quickly followed the deputy generals to surrender.

"You bunch of cowards, I am ashamed to be associated with you!" Zhou Erda's face was full of ferocity. Seeing thousands of soldiers surrendering, he couldn't kill them all even if he wanted to. He looked at the more than 2,000 soldiers still standing behind him and said, "Brothers, even if we die, we will die on the road of charge and never surrender!"

"Never surrender!"

More than two thousand soldiers stood upright and roared.

"Kill!"

Zhou Erda's spiritual power surged, and he rushed out first. The more than 2,000 soldiers behind him also rushed up and fought desperately.

Sun Zizai and Madam Xinling did not hesitate at all. They attacked Zhou Erda at the same time. After only a few rounds, Zhou Erda was pierced through the forehead by Madam Xinling's spear. Blood flowed from his forehead. He opened his eyes wide, struggled to turn around, looked towards the direction of Nanyu City, and knelt on his knees: "Your Majesty, I have done my best!"

Pfft!

As soon as he finished speaking, his body fell to the ground.

……

sunset.

Nanyu Palace.

"Report! Report! Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

Zhao Pengju was lying on a chair, feeling the remaining warmth of the setting sun. He just closed his eyes and wanted to rest for a while, but he didn't expect to hear anxious footsteps outside the yard again. He was a little impatient and scolded: "What's the big deal again? Did Ye Feng break through the second line of defense set up by the king?"

The spy who reported the news quickly came to the yard. When he heard Zhao Pengju's words, his eyes widened. He never expected that the prince had already known the news from the front line. He quickly flattered him and said, "The prince is really as good as a god. I admire you!"

"What did you say? Say it again!"

When Zhao Pengju heard the spy's words, he suddenly jumped up from his chair, stared at the spy with a ferocious face, and his aura burst out completely, suffocating the spy.

"Ah? Your Majesty, didn't you already say that?"

The spy opened his mouth in surprise, then looked at Zhao Pengju's murderous eyes. He mustered up his courage, lowered his voice deliberately, and felt a little aggrieved.

"Did Ye Feng really break through the second line of defense I set up?" Zhao Pengju saw the spy hesitating and couldn't help but get furious. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the spy, scolding him fiercely.

"Ah? Your Highness, you don't know?" At this point, the spy still didn't understand. Zhao Pengju didn't know the situation on the front line at all. He quickly said, "Your Highness, Yuling City and Tianchang County were both breached by the enemy. The scouts we sent out found Lu Xun's body."

Bang!

When Zhao Pengju heard the spy's report, he felt as if he was struck by lightning. The strength in his hands weakened instantly, and the spy fell heavily to the ground.

He kept backing up, unsteadily standing, and sat heavily back on the recliner. Puzzled eyes filled him, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and howl, "Who can tell me? Why is this happening?"
