Chapter 1351: Where Would Reinforcements Come From?
....Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Retreat? Where else can I retreat to?” Ming Fucheng roared at the deputy general.
He wanted to retreat too! However, Baiyan City was an isolated city. While it was easy to defend and challenging to attack, once surrounded, retreat would become impossible!
Besides, retreating at this time? What did he take him for?
He was the Prince of Yueming Empire. If he abandoned his subordinates and fled, Yueming Empire would be humiliated, right?
Hence, he would rather be captured by Zhan Beiye than flee. He did not think Zhan Beiye would dare to kill him if he captured him.
If he died, Zhan Beiye would become Yueming Empire’s greatest enemy and would never experience peace for the rest of his life.
“Marshal, are we going to surround Baiyan City like this?”
In Zhan Beiye’s camp, a few deputy generals stood in front of him with puzzled expressions.
They would launch occasional attacks on Baiyan City, but compared to a few days ago, this attack was insignificant. It seemed too casual.
“What’s wrong with surrounding Baiyan City?” Zhan Beiye put down the military scroll in his hand and looked at the deputy generals.
“Marshal, I don’t quite understand what you’re saying. Are we not attacking the city anymore?” the deputy general asked.
Was he implying that capturing nine cities was enough? Were they allowing Ming Fucheng to catch his breath because they weren’t going to kill him outright?
“Aren’t you afraid that the Yueming Emperor will send reinforcements?” he asked.
“Reinforcements? Heh.” Zhan Beiye sneered. “You think there will be reinforcements?”
“Won’t there be?” The deputy general blinked, feeling even more puzzled.
No matter how disappointed the Yueming Emperor was, he would not watch his son die in Baiyan City, right? He would definitely send an army to save him, right?
“Old Hong, are you stupid? Where would reinforcements come from?”
The deputy general next to him recalled something crucial. He elbowed Deputy General Hong.
“Our army is surrounding the city and can take down Baiyan City at any time. Do you think the Yueming Emperor’s reinforcements will arrive faster, or will we destroy the city faster?”
“Us, of course!” Deputy General Hong replied without hesitation. They were right across Baiyan City, after all!
He just could not understand why the Marshal suddenly stopped attacking the city. Was he toying with Ming Fucheng?
“All you know is fighting and killing,” the deputy general said in amus.e.m.e.nt.
“What do you mean?”
Deputy General Hong was furious. Was he saying that he was not smart enough?
Why was he only worthy of fighting and killing? Besides, they had to use their brains to fight and kill too! Conquering cities and territories wasn’t as simple as eating!
“Why are you still asking questions?”
The deputy general was amused by his exasperated expression.
“It means that the Marshal is waiting here for the Yueming Emperor to send someone to negotiate peace, and Ming Fucheng is just a bargaining chip in his hands.”
The situation couldn’t be more obvious. If the Yueming Emperor wanted to save his precious son, he wouldn’t make it in time—Ming Fucheng’s head would roll off before anything could be done!
Hence, the Yueming Emperor was left with one choice—to negotiate peace.
“Is Ming Fucheng that important?”
Deputy General Hong pursed his lips. He disliked Ming Fucheng. If he were his son, he would have died long ago..
