The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Soon, Pan Feng's vanguard team rode their horses straight up Luofeng Slope and arrived at the foot of Juebi City!

The sight of corpses along the way sent shivers down the spines of the vanguard squad. Even they had never witnessed such a horrific battle.

There were so many severed limbs on the ground that they could hardly imagine what kind of weapon had caused it.

Upon arriving at the city gate, the leading captain shouted to the guards, "Open the city gate quickly! We are reinforcements from the imperial court sent to support Juebi City! General Pan Feng is right behind us! Open the city gate to welcome us!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers guarding the city tensed up, and one of them immediately turned around and ran into the gate tower on the city wall to report.

Upon hearing this, the captain immediately stepped forward and addressed the vanguard squad outside the city wall: "Are you reinforcements from the imperial court? Please wait a moment! We'll go and inform the commander first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the vanguard squad below became somewhat unhappy. They had come all this way to provide support, so why wouldn't the garrison open the gate?

"Announcement? What's there to announce? Open the door right now! If we miss this crucial opportunity, can you afford the consequences?"

The captain on the city wall remained calm and composed: "I know you're anxious, but don't rush. These are extraordinary times. How can you prove that they are imperial reinforcements and not Kushan spies?"

Upon hearing this, the vanguard of the imperial army had no choice but to obediently begin the procedures, first going back to retrieve the documents from General Pan Feng to confirm his identity!

Pan Fan watched from afar as the vanguard squad negotiated with the defenders of the cliff city, but the city gates remained closed for a long time, and his face darkened.

Just then, a lieutenant named Guo Huai stepped forward and said to Pan Feng, "General, the city gates of Juebi City have not been opened for a long time, and there are corpses everywhere on Luofeng Slope. Could it be that Juebi City has already fallen and fallen into the hands of the Kushan barbarians?"

"Otherwise, why would those guards make things difficult for us and refuse to open the city gates to let us in?"

In fact, Guo Huai is a man of the Fifth Prince Wu Quan. He is now hoping that Juebi City has already fallen, because this was originally an agreement between the Fifth Prince and the Kushan Empire.

Even if Guo Huai lost the mere cliff city, he felt there was nothing to regret.

Upon hearing Guo Huai's words, Pan Feng remained silent, his expression unchanged, and no one knew what he was thinking.

From Guo Huai's attitude, Pan Feng could easily tell that this guy was hoping that Juebi City had already been lost.

Guo Huai was a man of the Fifth Prince Wu Quan, a fact he had known for a long time, but he had never paid much attention to it.

As a high-ranking general in the court, he had a keen political sense to have risen to such a position, and he was well aware of the factions within the court.

At this moment, Guo Huai continued, "General, if we really lose Juebi City, then there's no need for us to take this risk anymore. The Kushan barbarians' 500,000-strong army is no joke. Our small force isn't even enough to fill their teeth!"

Hearing Guo Huai's words, Pan Feng snorted coldly: "Deputy General Guo, judging from your words, it seems you are looking forward to the loss of Juebi City?"

Guo Huai was startled and hurriedly explained, "General, you really like to joke. I just think that if Juebi City falls, we should retreat to Shouchun City in time and then make further plans!"

Upon hearing this, Pan Feng sneered, then shook his head and said, "General Guo, today you gave up the city of Juebi, tomorrow you gave up Youzhou County, and the day after tomorrow you gave up the southwest. Why don't you just give up the entire Great Jing Empire to the Kushan Empire!"

Although Pan Feng had her own ulterior motives, she still had a sense of the big picture.

Seeing that Pan Feng was angry, Guo Huai could only smile awkwardly and dared not say anything more.

Pan Feng squinted at the cliff city, where the banners of the Great Jing Dynasty were still flying.

“The flag is still there, so it means that Cliff City hasn’t been lost. Perhaps the other side is just verifying our identities. There was just a big battle here, so it’s definitely wise to be cautious,” Pan Fan said calmly. “Now, we just need to wait here for the Crown Prince’s orders. Once the Crown Prince confirms that we are reinforcements, he will definitely open the city gates. He needs our strength to fight against the Kushan Empire’s 500,000 barbarian cavalry!”

Pan Fan brought tens of thousands of troops with him this time, all of whom were elites of the Great Jing Dynasty. They would definitely be able to help defend the city without any problems.

Moreover, Pan Feng didn't want to lose Juebi City so soon after arriving here. How would he explain that to the imperial court?

We should at least defend against a few waves and earn some merit, right?

About half an hour later, the south gate of the cliff city finally opened.

Seeing the city gates open, Pan Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was extremely nervous for the past half hour!

At this moment, a small group of men rushed out of the city gate, led by the captain who had just been on the city gate tower.

The captain rode his horse directly to the foot of Luofeng Slope and said to Pan Feng, "General Pan, the battle of Juebi City has been won. Jia Tisi asked me to inform you to go to Furong Gorge immediately to assist the Crown Prince in cleaning up the battlefield. There are too many corpses and remains on the battlefield, and it must be cleared up within three days!"

The moment she finished speaking, Pan Fan was completely dumbfounded!

What do you mean?

Is the Battle of Cliff City over?

This is impossible!

The only explanation is that the city of Cliff has been captured by the Kushan Empire, and these Great Jing soldiers have all surrendered!

Then, they planned to use this method to lure their army into Furong Gorge!

They must have set a trap in Furong Gorge to annihilate them!

Thinking of this, Pan Feng became more cautious and immediately said, "Young general, we have traveled a long distance and marched thousands of miles. Our soldiers are exhausted. If the battle of Juebi City is really over, please allow us to enter the city first and rest properly."

No matter what the situation is inside the cliff city, Pan Feng has to go in and take a good look!

"General Pan, what's a long journey? Our Crown Prince and his soldiers fought a fierce battle with the barbarians of the Kushan Empire all night, and they're still on the battlefield!" The captain said with a disdainful look.

"Alright, alright! Jia Tisi said that General Pan might not believe it, so he will personally take you there later! By the way, if General Pan wants to go into the city to take a look, he can just go in."

After the captain finished speaking, he looked at Pan Feng with a playful expression.

Pan Feng was taken aback. After struggling with his thoughts for a moment, he immediately said, "In that case, this general will go in and take a look!"

They've already made their statement, and if I don't dare to go in, wouldn't people laugh at me for being a coward if word got out?

"Vanguard Battalion, follow me into the city!"

"The rest of the soldiers will wait outside the city!"

Pan Feng was very confident. He led a team in first, and if he saw that things were not going well, he would immediately send out the attack signal!

Once you occupy the city gate tower, you've seized the initiative!
