Chapter 1337 Strategic Alliance
A Qin general rode his horse to the city gate and sang in Ross, saying, "What do you want to talk about?"
A general-looking Ross man appeared from the head of the city where the ruins were broken, begging pale, "We surrender, please stop shooting!"
The Qin general was stunned and said loudly: "Wait! I'll go back and report to the general!"
The warrior Pegasus returned to Zhao Yun and reported: "General, the other party said he was willing to open the city and surrender!"
When everyone heard this, they were stunned. Zhao Tuo said with a suspicion: "I surrender! Will there be a fraud?"
Zhao Yun glanced at the extremely miserable city wall in the distance, shook his head and said, "It should be true! In the face of such amazing power, I am afraid that not many people have the will to resist!" Then he said, "Go and tell them that all the Ross troops left the city and put down their weapons!"
"Yes!" The general Yingnuo said, turned his horse's head and ran towards the city wall.
About an hour later, nearly 100,000 Ross troops emerged from the broken city gate. Dozens of generals and officers rode their horses to the Qin army formation, jumped off their war horses, and the general held a book of documents and said, "Ross's guard Kan Mosky, on behalf of all Yukan's defenders, surrendered to the Qin general!"
Deputy General Zhao Tuo took the document from Kan Mosky and handed it over to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun glanced at it and said seriously: "Don't worry! Our Qin Dynasty will never slaughter the military and civilians who gave up their resistance!"
"Thank you, General!"
Zhao Yun immediately ordered Zhao Tuo to lead the Second Corps to accept the captives. When the 100,000 Ross army was taken down, the army entered the city.
The originally very strong city of Yukan was captured by the Qin army.
A few days later, the news of the fall of Yukan City reached the capital of Ross. Queen Slan and all the ministers were shocked.
"How is it possible? How could the Qin army easily capture Yukan City?!" Slan said incrediblely. As the regent queen, she seemed a little disobedient.
General Drov frowned and said, "According to the intelligence, the Qin army used a terrible weapon!"
"What weapon?"
Drov said unsurely: "The information is vague! It seems to be a huge cannon! Yukan's wall is like paper in front of it!"
Slan frowned and said in a deep voice: "Although Yukan's wall is not the strongest, it is also a strong city! It is actually vulnerable! Then are the other cities of our Ross equally dangerous!"
The ministers whispered, looking worried.
"Drov, where do you think the next target of the Qin army will be? Will it attack the Khwarezm Fortress westward?" Slan asked worriedly.
Drov shook his head, "It shouldn't be! Their next target should be the Durent Fortress in Dilexing Province! As long as this fortress is occupied, our army can block the traffic rushing to the south to the west and northwest! If the Qin army captures the Durent Fortress, the problem will be serious!"
The hall was silent and the atmosphere was very solemn.
Slan asked Peter Jeff, who was in charge of diplomacy: "Have you not replied yet?"
Peter Jeff shook his head and said with some concern: "Queen, the current situation is very unfavorable to us Ross! They are afraid they won't agree to our proposal!"
Slan was silent for a moment and said with great certainty: "No! If we collapse, just by their continuous internal rebellion, it will not be enough to compete with the Qin people! For them, we are an important barrier to restrain the Qin people! She should be very clear about this!"
Drov smiled bitterly and said, "If they don't make a decision quickly, the entire southern line will be torn to pieces by the Qin army!"
Slan asked: "When will the 200,000 reinforcements arrive at the Durant Fortress?" The reinforcements mentioned by Slan refer to the middle-aged man who was urgently mobilized in Petersburg and its surrounding provinces not long ago. The combat effectiveness of these people is a problem, but it should play a significant role in defense.
Drov replied: "The army has entered the territory of Dilexing Province, and it should be able to enter the Durant Fortress in five days! Fortunately, we can enter the Durant Fortress before the Qin army arrives!"
At this time, a commissar rushed into the hall from outside and reported: "Queen, General Kycans's flying pigeon passes the letter!" Then the commissar was submitted.
Slan couldn't help but feel that another bad news would come. Slan took the letter, read it quickly, and said in surprise: "That's great! Kygans deserves to be the humeral general of the empire!"
Seeing this, the ministers couldn't help but be curious. Drov asked, "Queen, I wonder what good news has been heard from General Kycans?"
Slan Yangyang passed the letter in his hand and said excitedly: "The Kicans army attacked from the Khwarezm Fortress several days ago, and in one go, it captured the northern city of Aka in Anxi, and annihilated nearly 20,000 enemy troops!"
When the ministers heard this, they were delighted. Someone said excitedly: "If General Kicans could attack Nissa, he might be able to attract the main force of the Qin army!"
Everyone nodded excitedly.
"Drov, is there any army that can support General Kikans?" Slan asked anxiously.
Drov shook his head and said regretfully: "No more! Whether it is the minion army, the local security army, or the urgently mobilized civilian army, they have all been put into the Western and Southern fronts! The only two legions that have not been put into battle must guard Petersburg and cannot attack!"
Slan thought for a moment and said decisively: "I ordered the First Guards Corps to rush to Khwarezm immediately!"
The ministers were shocked, and Drov said anxiously: "Queen, if this is the case, Petersburg's troops will be too weak! If the rebels take the opportunity to attack, it will be dangerous!"
Slan was unmoved, "The better the Kykans fight, the safer our side will be! The main force of the Qin army is all under Nanpoli and its surrounding provinces. It is impossible to transfer to Anxi in the short term. There are only more than 100,000 troops in Anxi, more than half of which are minions. Our army is completely likely to open up the situation here! I have decided, you don't have to persuade you anymore! General Drov, send an order!"
Drov had no choice but to respond and exit the hall.
At the same time, the Queen Julia in the Roman Palace made a major decision.
Not long after, Elina, the queen of the Bospru Kingdom, was shocked when she learned about this situation. "Is she crazy? Why did she do this?" Elina said in surprise.
"Her Majesty the Queen is right to do this!" Prime Minister Jones said calmly.
"Why?" Alina asked angrily.
Jones looked at the disobedient Alina and shook her head in her heart. She explained: "That Eastern Empire is really too powerful now! Although the overall strength of the Roman Empire is comparable to it, the Roman Empire has a fatal injury and is not stable inside. The remnants of the Elderly Council, the Egyptians, Assyrians, and Arabs, are all ready to rebel! Therefore, the Roman Empire needs a strong ally, and the Ross is undoubtedly the most suitable one!"
Alina was silent for a moment, and said sarcastically: "This is politics! Is it right?"
Jones said seriously: "Yes! Politics is ruthless! Whoever acts emotionally will definitely become the bloody food in other countries! Queen, you are actually very clear that the hero in your mind is also such a character! It's just that you don't want to believe it!"
"No! He is not!" Alina said firmly. Jones frowned.
Alina showed her memories and said quietly: "He is a real hero! Not long ago, wasn't it a better opportunity during the civil turmoil of the Ross Empire? However, he did not use military force against Ross! Why? Because his concubine was in Ross at that time, he was unwilling to let her suffer any harm! Prime Minister, maybe you are right! But I don't think a real hero can't compete with politicians!"
Jones shook his head and sighed, "Queen, you're so trapped too deep!"
