The blood color and firelight shattered the darkness before dawn.
It was a brutal battle.
After several attacks on the city, it was not until dawn that Ulan's army finally stepped on the corpses of their companions and stormed the city wall. Then came the most brutal hand-to-hand battle. Due to the huge numerical gap, all 30,000 elite soldiers of Chifeng Fortress were killed.
When the last guard fell in front of Ulan's scimitar, Ulan's soldiers just stood up straight with their hands that had been numbed by the chop, and did not immediately cheer.
This battle is really not easy to win!
Subbatu strode over and said, "Commander Qi, we have won!"
On the magnificent chariot, the king calmly walked out of the gauze curtain opened by his subordinates. His eyes passed over the corpses and bloody fires on the ground, and fell on the city wall in the distance stained with black smoke and red blood. He nodded slightly, with eyes in his eyes.
There was no ecstasy of victory, he was still extremely calm, but there was a touch of appreciation deep in his dark eyes.
He still persisted until the last moment, but the fact that more than 30,000 troops were able to persist for so long under such a powerful attack was obviously beyond his expectation.
The defenders of the Ming Dynasty were still glorious even though they were defeated!
It seems that he needs to re-evaluate the Ming Dynasty in his eyes.
=====================
The capital of the Ming Dynasty never left the city.
In the morning, all the ministers looked solemn as they heard the urgent military report from 800 miles away.
Mingyue, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, calmly read the letter sent by the eunuch without even raising an eyebrow.
"Your Highness?!" The Prime Minister cautiously took a step forward, "But there is something going on in the north?!"
Mingyue raised her finger and dropped the military dispatch in her hand, "Read it!"
The old eunuch did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly picked up the urgent items from the ground, and read in a sharp voice, "Last night, Ulan broke out, and a hundred thousand troops pressed down on the border. The 30,000 defenders of Chifeng Fortress perished together with the fortress!"
All ministers, their colors have changed.
"Your Highness!" A minister knelt down suddenly, "Old minister, please stop logging in the south. Ulan has already captured the Chifeng Fortress. If the Xia Kingdom takes action at this time, our Ming Dynasty will be very passive!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Another minister also knelt on the ground, "Your Highness, please think again!"
…
In an instant, everyone in the hall fell to their knees.
Mingyue stood up from her chair and said, "I tell you this, Wang Yu, that the Northwest Army is not allowed to take another half step back to the southeast of Qin'an!"
After saying this, he strode down the steps.
"Your Highness!" An old minister climbed over desperately and stopped in front of him, "If you continue to persist so stubbornly, the Ming Dynasty will have a thousand-year foundation and the people of the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous and happy..."
"Do you think you care about Daming more than me?!" Mingyue stopped, looked around at the people kneeling around him, and took a breath, "In this hall, the one who cares about Daming the most is actually me.
Don’t worry, everyone, I won’t let anyone take away my things!”
"Your Highness!" Outside the door, a eunuch rushed in and knelt on the side of the hall, "Your Highness, Mr. Xie Tianhua is outside the hall asking for an audience!"
Mingyue raised her face, with a bright look in her eyes, "Pass!"
"Yes!" The eunuch stood up and left. A moment later, Xie Tianhua, who had changed into new clothes and tidied himself up, walked in.
After all, the ministers did not dare to neglect, so they still made way for him.
Seeing the ministers kneeling together in the palace, a strange look flashed in Xie Tianhua's eyes, and then he picked up his robe and knelt on the ground, "Your Highness, the reconstruction project of Bulea City Outer City has been completed this morning!"
"Okay!" The corners of Ming Yue's lips raised slightly, "Take me to have a look!"
"Your Highness!" The ministers still bowed to the ground and had no intention of leaving.
With a soft snort, Mingyue strode out from among the crowd, "Go to the Star Observation Deck!"
