The eldest son is fierce

His history ends here.

Fang Mao spoke with such confidence and self-assurance, but Gong Yinghan was looking at him as if he were a dead man.

Perhaps this is the difference between civil officials and military generals!

From the perspective of civil officials, they felt that 400,000 troops to support the emperor were more than enough. Tang Yi, at most, had only a little over 100,000 men. 400,000 against a little over 100,000 was a piece of cake.

Not to mention they also have the Western Army. As long as the 200,000-strong Western Army breaks through Zhuge Wanwan's defenses, taking back the capital will be a piece of cake.

But they forgot who their opponents were: Tang Yi and Zhuge Wanwan!

One is the most dazzling young man in the history of the Great Yan Dynasty, and the other is the famous female general of Nanjing. Either one of them could easily outmaneuver them like dogs.

And now, they have two such opponents.

"Alas, it seems Heaven is determined to destroy Nanjing!" Gong Yinghan looked up, speechless, and questioned the heavens.

"Hehe, Commander Gong, you're too pessimistic."

Fang Mao patted Gong Yinghan on the shoulder and said, "Give the order! Stop the siege, stop firing arrows and launching catapults... Don't worry, as long as Tang Yi dares to show up, we will definitely give you the chance to personally cut off Tang Yi's head and feed it to the dogs."

Gong Yinghan glanced at Fang Mao and chuckled. "Cut off Tang Yi's head and feed it to the dogs?"

If we give Tang Yi a chance, it might not be Tang Yi who ends up with his head rolling, but us.

Seeing that Fang Mao had made up his mind, Gong Yinghan didn't bother with any more words. He immediately raised his hand and waved, ordering the messenger to go down and relay the order.

Soon, the attacking troops withdrew, and the barrage of arrows and stones also ceased.

On the city wall, Qin Yue, the commander of the city patrol, was both shocked and delighted to see this scene. He said, "Pass on my order to repair the destroyed fortifications immediately. Also, replenish the supplies of rolling stones, rolling logs, tung oil, and arrows immediately."

"Damn it, has that old bastard Gong Yinghan taken some fake medicine? I'm about to give up, and he's actually retreating."

The new army general standing beside him, assisting him in defending the city, pondered for a moment and said, "General Qin, something is not right. It's possible that my commander is up to his old tricks again... no, he has a new plan. I need to report to His Highness Prince Yan immediately."

"Nancheng is now in your hands."

Gong Yinghan's army was fighting well, but suddenly they inexplicably withdrew. This is very abnormal, and who else besides Tang Yi could cause such an abnormality?

If the commander-in-chief wants to cause trouble, he must first inform His Highness the Prince of Yan!

The new army general turned and leaped down the city wall. Qin Yue stared wide-eyed at his retreating figure: "Tang Yi did this? Wasn't Tang Yi supposed to be supporting the new emperor's ascension to the throne today?"

"He supported the new emperor's ascension to the throne in the palace and could also remotely control the war outside the city? Is that really possible?"

……

At this moment, Tang Yi was riding his horse at full speed towards the south of the city.

However, he did not see the group of nobles and ministers of Nan Jing along the way. Instead, someone shouted that the Prince of Zhennan had arrived. The previously deserted streets were instantly filled with countless people who gave him a warm welcome.

"Is that the Prince of Zhennan? He's so young!"

"That's right, otherwise why would everyone say that the Prince of Zhennan is a young hero? It's a pity that this young hero is not from our Nanjing."

"Pah! What are you talking about, you old codger? This is the new dynasty, understand? Remember, we're not called Nanjing people anymore, we're called Tang people."

"Prince Zhennan, when are you free? Come and burn down a house!"

"..."

Tang Yi has now advanced to the Middle Heaven Rank, so his hearing is incredibly sharp. Even though he was riding at top speed, he could still hear the discussions of the people on both sides of the street very clearly.

The expressions on their faces were absolutely priceless.

The word "Tang people" held a unique charm for Tang Yi, and hearing the people utter it now filled him with a sense of pride.

Why? Because his new dynasty hasn't officially started operating yet, but it has already gained the recognition and affirmation of the people of Kyoto, which is a good thing!

The more Tang Yi listened, the more uneasy he felt. When people asked him if he was free, he initially thought it was going to be about having dinner or a blind date...

As a result, they sent him to burn down the house.

Damn, what kind of quirks do you people in Nanjing have that make you so fond of burning down houses?

"Husband, watch out ahead!"

Tang Yi was still lost in thought when he heard Tang Zhao's urgent voice. Ying Wuzong grabbed Tang Yi's reins, and the horse raised its front hooves high before slamming them heavily to the ground.

Tang Yi steadied his horse and looked ahead, only to see a ragged old beggar who had appeared out of nowhere.

"Don't move, retreat." Shadowless's voice rang urgently from beside him.

"Ok?"

Tang Yi paused for a moment and turned his head to look. He saw Ying Wuzhong, who was usually fearless, with his long hair almost standing on end and his face extremely cold.

Even his internal energy became disordered!

"What's wrong? Can't beat him?" Tang Yi had never seen Ying Wuzong look like this before. Back when they were dealing with Ye Jin, this guy just went straight for the kill.

But now, facing the beggar opposite him, he felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy, his whole body tense, and even the hairs on his body stood up like needles.

"Yeah, we can't beat him, this beggar is too strong." Shadowless nodded.

After saying that, he jumped off his warhorse and stood in front of Tang Yi, saying, "Holy Maiden, I don't know how long I can hold out. I'm leaving Tang Yi to you. Take him out of the city."

Shadowless's heart raced. Besides the beggar opposite him, he sensed that there were more than a dozen experts lying in ambush around them.

With a light push of her hand on the horse's back, Green Ivy leaped into the air and landed steadily beside Shadowless.

Carrying a large iron hammer, she glanced at Ying Wuzong and grinned, "I'll stay with you. Although I also think I can't beat this old man, if you dare to let me leave, I'll kill you first."

Tang Zhao and Lvliu immediately stood in front of Tang Yi, and all the soldiers of the Special Operations Battalion also drew their guns and swords, ready to fight to the death.

The fingertips of the Southern Frontier Saintess slowly landed on the bone flute at her waist.

Seeing this, Tang Yi and the old beggar were dumbfounded. What do you mean by this? You didn't even distinguish between friend and foe, and you drew your swords?

"Ahem, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I'm not an enemy..."

Before Tang Yi could speak, the old man standing opposite him instantly looked pale.

If I had known it would cause such a big misunderstanding, I wouldn't have pretended to be some kind of hermit master. I would have just obediently clung to my bamboo pole and acted like a frightened beggar.

I wanted to make a good impression on my son and daughter-in-law, but it seems I've messed it up!

The old beggar pointed at Tang Yi and said, "I'm not a bad person. I just came to tell the Prince of Zhennan that there's an ambush ahead and this road is impassable."

“Take the other road, it’s safer there… Don’t look at me like that, really, I’m a good person.”
