BXBX NOVEL Chapter 461 - 461: Opening the Gates
On the third day, when the Wei army was still giving out porridge, this organization had grown to an unimaginable extent and was already out of control.
On the night of the third day, those commoners who were starving to death and those who wanted to resist voluntarily gathered into a team. They held long sticks and kitchen knives valiantly and came to the city wall in high spirits. They took advantage of the time when they were tired to kill everyone. Then, they opened the city gate and welcomed the Wei army in.
“My lords! We have opened the city gates, you can come in! We are willing to submit to Great Wei, do we still have porridge to eat?”
The Deputy General walked into the main General’s tent in surprise and said excitedly, “General, this move of yours is really brilliant! The citizens of Ling City had really opened the city gates! We took down Ling City without expending a single soldier!”
Ming Zhiyan smiled. Clearly, he was in a good mood.
He instructed, “Get the soldiers to prepare. We will begin to enter Ling City. Also, prepare the porridge. Those commoners are great meritorious officials.
We cannot let them suffer.”
“Yes!” the Deputy General replied respectfully.
Compared to losing their close brothers, losing this bit of food was a small price to pay. Moreover, after they took down Dongyue, these people would become the people of Great Wei. This was not a loss.
Because of the support of the Ling City citizens, the Wei army entered Ling
City effortlessly and surrounded the soldiers who were still sleeping soundly. Those who surrendered were left behind, and those who resisted were all killed.
At this moment, in the Dongyue Capital, the Third Prince of Dongyue was making the final preparations. After all these things were prepared, they would move the capital to the southernmost city of Dongyue.
Suddenly, a eunuch came to report.
“Your Highness! Ling City has already been breached by the enemy!’
The Third Prince’s hand that was spinning the bead paused. He frowned and said angrily, “How did they get the city so quickly?”
The eunuch said softly, “The Wei army is giving out porridge outside the city to tempt the people’s hearts. They say that those who voluntarily submit to Great Wei can receive a bowl of porridge every day. Many people in Ling City gathered together to kill all the soldiers in the city for that bowl of porridge.
They opened the city gates to let the Wei army in.”
Crack!
The jade stone in the Third Prince’s hand shattered into several pieces, cutting his hand until it was dripping with blood.
However, he did not care at all. He said sinisterly, “What a bunch of lowlifes! I should have killed them earlier!”
The eunuch who came to report was now silently adjusting his breathing to reduce his presence.
One of the officials said, “Your Highness, let’s hurry up and leave. Otherwise, we won’t be able to leave when the Wei army attacks the Capital. We’re not admitting defeat. When we recuperate, well definitely take back all the land we
The Third Prince took a deep breath and could not help but smash all the cups on the table.
Although he was unwilling to admit it, he was running away.
However, he would never admit that he was inferior to Ming Zhiyan. He only felt that this was because the Wei army was stronger with high-yield grain. If he had high-yield grain, it was uncertain who would win.
At this moment, he regretted attacking Wei Country without sufficient preparation. He did not expect Wei Country to be so fierce and chase after him. Those damn allies did not even help him.
However, even if they were unwilling, they could only suffer and move out of the Capital.
As long as there was life, there would be hope. One day, he would definitely take revenge.
Although he was confident in himself, he did not expect the accident to happen so quickly..
