The longboard castle is different from the ordinary boxy castle, but the overall shape is rectangular. Because it is surrounded by mountains on one side and rivers on the other, it cannot be built in such a fortified area as a long and wide city.

And this city happens to be the main road connecting the art city and the steel city.

Although Longboard City replied that he was willing to surrender, Tang Ye still maintained a high degree of vigilance along the way, and it was not until he saw that the gate of Longboard City was wide open, and the city lord personally led the soldiers who did not hold weapons to surrender, and Tang Ye really put his mind at ease.

Obviously, in the face of Tang Ye's strong military pressure, even if this city lord didn't want to surrender again, he couldn't refuse Tang Ye's request, otherwise his current city within the enemy's sphere of influence would undoubtedly be bombarded into slag, at least for the sake of the 50,000 soldiers and 10,000 or 20,000 people in the city, he couldn't refuse.

As for Zheng Ting's reinforcements, after the last failed sneak attack on Steel City, he didn't have the energy to support him again, and now in the face of Tang Ye's attack from the other direction, he didn't have much resistance at all.

As a result of many reasons, surrender is the only way out.

Soon, Tang Ye's army entered the city. It was easier than the takeover of the Art Academy, and at this point, Tang Ye had finally gathered his sphere of influence into an approximate circle, and he could develop with peace of mind for a while.

…………

According to the original plan, after Tang Ye dispatched the soldiers from the border cities, he also gave the rest of the generals and soldiers who did not have garrison tasks to take leave in batches.

The generals took two months of leave, the soldiers took a month of leave, and Tang Ye returned to Shuiqiao City, a slightly south of his sphere of influence, with his two wives and Lu Yi's younger siblings, as well as his own sisters Meng Xiaoye, Daji, Sima Jing, and others.

The climate of Shuiqiao City is pleasant, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and it is not too far from the southern border, in case something happens, Tang Ye can also go to support in time.

During the year of recuperation, Tang Ye experienced unprecedented peace and tranquility.

During this year, Tang Ye's southern border was not attacked by Zheng Ting.

Obviously, Tang Ye rarely recuperates, and Zheng Ting and the others must also seize this time to restore their national strength.

As for Jiang Yao's side, after the expiration of the half-year alliance time, he continued to ally with Tang Ye for half a year.

Tang Ye, who was unwilling to make trouble and concentrate on repairing his forces, developing resources, and recruiting troops, was naturally willing to accept it, even if Jiang Yao was likely to join forces with Zheng Ting in half a year, it didn't matter.

A year is not a long time, nor is it short, but it is always going slowly.
