Chapter 88: Beacon City

In the north of the Ming Empire, 500,000 cavalry of the Dameng Empire were in front, and 500,000 cavalry of the Dajin Empire were behind, forming an army of one million and marching towards the border pass of the Ming Empire.

In this campaign, two-thirds of the armies of the two empires were mobilized, vowing to take the northern part of the Ming Empire in one fell swoop.

The commander of this campaign is Wanyan Hongyu, the king of Zhennan of the Dajin Empire, a master of the two heavens of the mortal realm, followed by the national teacher Urad.

The Dameng Empire also sent ten generals of the Heavenly and Human Realm to lead an army to follow, and the army was mighty and galloping on the prairie.

Millions of cavalry rushed wildly, and the earth shook and was deafening.

The border pass of the Ming Empire, the beacon city.

Originally, this was the place where Han Tianya was guarded, and since Han Tianya established himself as the king, he led troops into the country.

Everything here was handed over to his younger brother Han Tiangang, who commanded the remaining 200,000 troops and was stationed here.

Unexpectedly, within a few days, the Ming Empire was turbulent, and all the great forces were wiped out by the emperor.

Immediately after that, the army of the Ming Empire directly began to counterattack, and now Han Tiangang can only retreat in the Beacon Fire City, panicking all day long.

I am afraid that the army of the Ming Empire will destroy him directly, and every day he will send to inquire about the movements of the imperial army.

Hearing that the imperial army of more than 400,000 troops was rushing to the border pass, he soon came to Beacon City, and was so frightened that he asked his men to close the city gate.

Even so, he is still not at ease, and is now discussing with his subordinates how to deal with it.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Han Tiangang sat on the main seat.

Below are his advisers and a group of generals, who were silent at this time, waiting for Han Tiangang to speak.

"Everyone, now the eldest brother has handed over this place to me, but now that the eldest brother has died in battle, the imperial army is about to descend on the city, what is your way to defeat the enemy?"

"As long as we get through this crisis, we can still enjoy the same prosperity and wealth as before. Han Tiangang looked around and spoke first.

"Hehe, general, with all due respect, so many coalition forces are not imperial opponents, how can we, the old, weak, sick and disabled, resist the imperial soldiers?" said one of the generals laughing at himself.

"Yes! Now we are in a dilemma, let's stop it! Can't stop it, if we surrender, the other party may not let us go. ”

"Yuanfeng, tell me, what should I do now?"

At this time, Han Tiangang could only look at his own strategist to see if he had any way.

"General, in my opinion, we can't resist, and now if we want to live, there are two ways to go. ”

"Which two, tell me quickly!"

Hearing this, without waiting for Yuanfeng to finish speaking, Han Tiangang hurriedly stood up and asked.

Now that his hope of survival is here, even the other generals have looked at Yuanfeng.

"First, surrender, as far as I know, after the surrender of King Han's soldiers, the empire did not embarrass them. Yuanfeng stretched out a finger and said.

Hearing this, Han Tiangang's face changed for a while, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Finally, he sighed and said, "Let's talk about the second one!"

"Although those soldiers of the empire did not embarrass them, but we are different, we are all the henchmen of the eldest brother, and the people around the eldest brother are dead, and the empire will not spare us easily. ”

"The second way is to abandon the Beacon City, enter the Dajin Empire, and take refuge in Dajin, I believe that if we enter the Dajin Empire and bring 200,000 troops with money and food, the Dajin Empire will accept us. ”

"The strength of today's Dajin Empire is not worse than that of the Ming Empire, but it is superior, and it is our last way out. ”

"No, we have been at war with Dajin all year round, how can we take refuge in them again, this traitor, I won't do it. ”

"I, Cheng Kun, would rather die in battle than be a traitor, otherwise I will be sorry for my ancestors who died in battle. ”

"Yes, count me as one, people do die, but when I die, I can't end up with a stench that will last for 10,000 years. ”

Hearing that they were going to take refuge in the Dajin Empire, the two old generals immediately stood up and said angrily.

Their ancestors all died on the Dajin battlefield, and even they fought with Dajin and the Dameng Empire for half their lives, and now it is impossible for them to surrender to the enemy.

"The two old Liang Jun are angry, this matter is Yuanfeng's strategy, and we will not necessarily do it. ”

Han Tiangang saw a total of four generals, and the two respected old generals all spoke out against it, so he had to stand up and explain it, and then gave his confidants a look.

"Yes! What the general said is extremely true, General Cheng and General Zhao don't need to be angry, we just have a discussion. ”

"Why bother hurting your peace for such a trivial matter!"

The two young generals were Han Tiangang's henchmen, and when they saw their master's eyes, they hurriedly understood.

"Let's all go back and rest, and wait for me to think about it, and then see if I want to surrender." ”

In the end, because of the obstruction of the two, the matter ended without a hitch and broke up unhappily.

After the two old generals retreated, Han Tiangang called Yuanfeng and the two generals over again.

"Cheng Kun's two old things, I don't know what to do, but they have an army of 100,000 in their hands, and the prestige of the two in the army is too high. ”

"Without taking them, there is simply no way for our plan to be implemented, so the two of them must be taken out. ”

"I have already ordered that the two of them and their generals have been poisoned in their meals at noon today, and that they will die of poison soon after they finish eating, and that you two must control their men as soon as possible. ”

"Since they don't want to live, then we can only let them die, and we can't die because of the two of them. ”

"Tonight we will lead the army out of the city to join the Dajin Empire, in the Daming Empire, we can only die. ”

"Yes, General, don't worry, as long as we don't get in the way of the two of them, we can control their army. ”

......

Without the obstruction of Cheng Kun and the others, Han Tiangang controlled the army of 200,000 as he wished, and all those who resisted were killed, and gathered the army and prepared to leave the city.

That afternoon, the army, under the leadership of the other party, ransacked the entire Beacon City, making the people angry.

Now that the army of 200,000 is far away, they must not only have money, but also food, so they must be ransacked.

In the evening, the 200,000-strong army marched out of the city, carrying the looted finances and grain and grass, and headed in the direction of the northern steppe.

The people in the city, seeing that their homes were looted, showed despair, and their money and food were not much, but now they were robbed.

But how can they live!

The reason why Han Tiangang was so anxious was because they already knew that the more than 400,000 troops of the Ming Empire would be able to reach Beacon City around tomorrow morning, and it would be too late if they didn't leave.
