    The wolf cavalry of Commander Alslen continued to attack the imperial capital for a week, but they got nothing but lost troops and generals.

    The densely packed corpses outside the walls of the imperial capital stretched all the way to the edge of the wolf cavalry camp. The wolf cavalry who were once brave and good at fighting had now become cold corpses.

    The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and rotting stench, and the cruelty of the battle was far beyond imagination, so that the wolf cavalry were unable to collect the piles of corpses.

    A few days ago, the wolf cavalry who were clamoring for the Dajin Emperor to capture the Far East Emperor Chen Ziang alive had lost their previous vigor in a week of brutal bloody battles.

    General Barhu walked in the rain-shrouded camp, seeing those soldiers with numb faces and low morale, he was in a particularly bad mood.

    In the continuous attack, Barhu's roots were folded in. More than 80% of his tribe's children were killed, and the rest were also scarred.

    If Marshal Arslen hadn't replenished his soldiers in time, he would have become a polished commander by now.

    Facing the majestic and sturdy imperial capital, General Barhu felt that it was as insurmountable as a natural moat.

    "We can't continue fighting like this. If we continue to attack the city, I'm afraid even if we take down the imperial capital, our people will be wiped out."

    General Barhu said in a distraught way when he heard the painful wailing of the wounded soldiers.

    "I advise you not to touch the fate of Lord Marshal."

    General Alatan pointed to the flagpole not far away and said, "The blood on those guys' heads hasn't dried yet."

    ?After suffering heavy casualties and failing to capture the imperial capital, Marshal Arslen was furious.

    Already, three thousand cavalry commanders and more than a dozen thousand cavalry commanders have been beheaded by Marshal Alslen for their ineffective combat.

    Thinking of the red-eyed Marshal Arslen, General Barhu couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

    The status and influence of the imperial capital is indeed great, but is it worth it to take the lives of the wolf cavalry to attack?

    The purpose of their raids on the Far East is to obtain a larger territory, more food and population, and make life better.

    But the current battle has become a war of attrition, and it is their brave wolf cavalry that is attrition.

    Barhu and Alatan arrived at the tent of the Chinese army shrouded in the rain, and the other generals had already arrived.

    The small table was full of wine and meat, but all the generals were sitting there silently, but the atmosphere in the Chinese army's big tent seemed particularly depressing.

    After all, they, who have always boasted that they are invincible in the world, have now encountered a serious setback, making them wish to escape from this bloody battlefield like a Shura field, and no one is in the mood to drink and eat meat anymore.

    Not long after Balhu and Alatan sat down, Marshal Arslen strode into the tent of the Chinese army.

    "Generals, I have good news for you."

    Marshal Alslen looked at the demoralized generals and took out a letter from his pocket.

    General Barhu and others also turned their attention to Arslen, not knowing what he wanted to say.

    "This is a letter sent by a senior official from the Far East in the imperial capital last night. He said that the city is at the end of its strength and will cooperate with us in capturing the imperial capital." Arslen said happily.

    "Senior officials from the Far East?"

    After hearing the words of Marshal Arslen, all the generals also showed suspicious expressions.

    "Master Marshal, the enemy is cunning and cunning, it is better to be careful." General Barhu reminded tactfully.

    "According to my understanding, this person has been dissatisfied with the imperial court in the Far East for a long time. His willingness to surrender and help us capture the imperial capital should be 70% or 80% credible."

    Facing heavy casualties, Marshal Arslen was ready to give up attacking the imperial capital and instead attack other areas.

    However, at this time, some high-ranking officials from the Far East sent letters to report the situation in the city and were willing to assist them. Naturally, Arslen regained his confidence.

    As long as they can break into the imperial capital, it will be worthwhile for them to suffer heavy casualties in the early stage.

    You must know that occupying the imperial capital of the Far East is equivalent to destroying the Far East, and its strategic significance is huge.

    "Master Marshal, could it be a conspiracy?" General Na Risong was also full of doubts about this.

    ? They have a natural distrust of Far Easterners, because for them, Far Easterners are enemies.

    Now the enemy is actively surrendering to them, which makes them uncomfortable?Not vigilant.

    "Even if it's a conspiracy, it doesn't matter. As long as we can enter the city, with our army's fighting power, it will be a breeze to occupy the emperor."

    Their wolf cavalry stands unparalleled, but they are helpless against the towering and strong city walls, which is also their shortcoming.

    If they entered the city and fought hand-to-hand, they boasted that they would not lose to the Far East army.

    "Then how will senior officials from the Far East assist us?" General Alatan asked curiously.

    At midnight today, we will use the firelight as a sign. As long as we reply, it will be considered as agreeing to his conditions. Then in the middle of the night the day after tomorrow, they will open the west gate of the imperial capital and assist our army to enter the city.

    After hearing this, the generals with low morale were shocked. If it goes well, it means that they will be able to capture the imperial capital the day after tomorrow.

    "So no matter whether he sincerely surrenders to us or not, we have to give it a try!"

    Arslen's army suffered a bloodbath in the imperial capital, so he was naturally unwilling to withdraw in such a disheveled manner.

    Now that there is hope of capturing the imperial capital, he is naturally unwilling to give up and wants to try.

    "So immediately stop the attack on the imperial capital, recharge your batteries, and wait for the attack at night the day after tomorrow!"

    "At that time, as long as the gate of the city is opened, attack at all costs! Destroy the Far Eastern Army and capture Chen Ziang alive!" Marshal Arslen said viciously.

    "Obey!"

    The generals were exhausted after fighting for so many days. After hearing the good news, they regained their energy.

    When the prairie wolves outside the city were making intensive preparations for a new round of attack, inside the imperial capital, Du Jian, the courtyard of the Intelligence Investigation Institute, braved the hazy drizzle and secretly entered the palace.

    "I didn't expect that he would surrender to the enemy."

    After receiving the report from Du Jian, the director of the Intelligence Investigation Institute, Chen Ziang also showed disappointment on his face.

    "Your Majesty, in addition to delivering letters outside the city, he also visited the mansions of several adults, but we don't know exactly what they talked about." Du Jian said with a solemn expression.

    "Whose mansion have you been to?"

    "The mansion of President Song and Vice President Wang." Du Jian told the truth.

    "Your Majesty, will you send someone to arrest them?"

    Seeing that Chen Ziang remained silent, Du Jian added another sentence.

    "Just send someone to monitor, don't act rashly." Chen Ziang thought for a while and said.

    Just as Du Jian was reporting important information to Chen Ziang, Yuan Pu's voice rang outside the door.

    "Your Majesty, the Deputy Chief of the Ministry of War seeks an audience."

    After hearing what Yuan Pu said, Chen Ziang and Du Jian also looked at each other.

    "You go back first, closely monitor, and report to me as soon as possible if there is any change."

    Chen Ziang pointed to the side door of the main hall, and said to Du Jiandao, the director of the Intelligence Investigation Institute.

    "No."

    After Du Jian responded, he left through the side door.

    After Chen Ziang sorted out his appearance, he summoned Wang Cheng, the deputy chief of the Ministry of War who came in the rain.

    "Wang Aiqing, is there any change in the defense of the city?"

    Li Qiye went to the Northeast War Zone to sit in command, so the Ministry of War is now chaired by the Deputy Chief Wang Cheng.

    "Your Majesty, it's raining outside, the wolf cavalry has stopped attacking, and the fighting has stopped for a while, and it's okay to be led by Li in command." Wang Cheng said respectfully.

    "Then why did Wang Aiqing come?" Chen Ziang asked again.

    "Weichen, I have something to report to His Majesty." Wang Cheng hesitated for a few seconds before speaking.

    "Oh, what troubled Wang Aiqing?"

    "Today someone came to lobby my mansion, promising me a high official and rich salary, and let me surrender to the enemy. I feel that this matter is not trivial" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
