Chapter 1010.
Under the escort of Sun Zhengheng and dozens of feathered guards, Princess Qing Yun arrived at the top of the barrier wall.
She was very surprised and did not understand why Wang Chen had allowed herself to come here.
But seeing the Yan army outside, Princess Qing Yun vaguely understood.
This was going to be a showdown!
Today’s Princess Qing Yun was no longer the na茂ve young girl she had been at the time, and although the intimidation of the soldiers from the Great Yan Army inevitably had an effect on her, she still braced herself to maintain the dignity that a royal family should have.
She did not lose her temper on the spot.
“Your Highness.”
Wang Duan said in a deep voice, “Great General Shangguan is deeply righteous and does not want to succumb to King Jing’s rebellion, intending to serve Your Highness and retake the righteousness of Great Liang!”
Princess Qing Yun immediately widened her eyes to look at Shangguan Wu Ji next to her.
She didn’t expect Wang Chen to subdue the other party so quickly!
And Shangguan Wuji secretly sighed and immediately knelt on one knee, “My humble servant, Shangguan Wuji, hereby swears allegiance to Her Highness Princess Qing Yun, honoring the Emperor in his quest for rebellion until death do us part, and if we disobey this oath, heaven and earth will destroy us!”
His voice was instantly heard inside and outside of the pass wall, half of Hanhai City could hear it clearly, and even into the Great Yan army.
Shangguan Wu Ji’s prestige in Hanhai army was extremely high, so before his words fell, all the soldiers knelt down in unison and cried out in the same voice: “Willing to die for Your Highness!”
“Love ministers, level off.”
Princess Qing Yun forced herself to hold down her inner excitement, Ying Ying returned a salute: “Great General’s generous love, this palace will not forget this life, in the future to ascend to the throne, there will be a return!”
“Thank you, Your Highness!”
Shangguan Wuji bowed heavily on the ground before standing up again.
Only this time, he is considered to have completely stood on the boat of Princess Qing Yun, no longer have the possibility of jumping out.
Together with the 50,000 elite Hanhai army!
Princess Qing Yun turned her head to look at Wang Chen, the joy and gratitude in her eyes indescribable.
[Qi Luck +500]
A striking message instantly popped up in Wang Dust’s field of vision.
He couldn’t help but smile slightly.
And at this moment, three or four miles away from each other in the Great Yan Army, inside a gold-topped military tent, a purple-robed old man, a silver-armored warrior, and a middle-aged man with an elegant temperament looked at each other, all revealing a hint of surprise.
Any one of these three people was a powerful existence that could make Great Yan quake when they stomped their feet, and they had gathered here today with the purpose of taking down the Hanhai Pass in front of them!
For Great Yan, Hanhai Pass has always been a sharp blade buried in its heart, wanting to get rid of it.
Only the original strength of Qi over Yan, and Hanhai army sitting in the Hanhai Pass occupies a great strategic advantage, even if Yan can pull out this blade, but also to pay a very heavy price.
Therefore, always hold back.
Until now, get King King usurped the throne of Great Yan, only decided to take at all costs Hanhai Pass.
Because if we don’t do it, Great Yan will probably die!
Since this battle was related to the fate of the country, the three great Martial Exalts had joined forces to show their determination to win.
They had all just heard Shangguan Wu Ji’s oath, and their faces couldn’t help but look a little odd.
The purple-robed old man frowned and said, ”Is this Shangguan Wuji crazy? Is he still sane at this time when he swore allegiance to Princess Qing Yun?”
Who was Princess Qing Yun?
That was a tool used by Great Liang to marry Great Yan, even if there was a slight chance of becoming Yan’s Empress in the future, it was simply not worthy of the allegiance of a Sixth Order Martial Honored One.
Not to mention that Shangguan Wuji still had a heavy army in his hands!
The silver-armored warrior thought for a moment and said, “He couldn’t be trying to use Princess Qing Yun’s banner to get his hands on the Cauldron of Great Yan!”
Such a speculation was justified, with Officer Wuji’s own strength and the power of the Hanhai army at his disposal, utilizing Princess Qing Yun would have a chance of contending for the world of Great Liang.
“Impossible!”
The elegant man categorically denied, “Shangguan Wu Ji is not so stupid that he would trust his family’s life on a princess.”
The purple-robed old man stroked his long beard and asked, “Then what do we do now?”
“Wait for the army to gather.”
The silver-armored warrior said in a deep voice, “The number of siege vehicles and stone throwers are both still too low, we need at least ten days to get ready and then settle the matter in one battle!”
Attacking a majestic pass like Hanhai City was impossible without ten times the amount of troops and enough equipment to take it down in a single blow.
Most importantly, the far-flung Great Yan Army could not afford to support a long protracted battle.
“Then wait for ten days.”
The elegant man clapped his hands, “Let’s first send a joint letter to Shangguan Wuji to persuade him to surrender, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a success or not.”
The purple-robed old man and the silver-armored warrior looked at each other and smiled.
Both of them were confident that they could take down Hanhai Pass, what mattered was how much it cost.
If they could persuade Shangguan Wuji, it would naturally be the best!
Not long after, a persuasive letter co-signed by three Great Yan Martial Honors was shot by the Yan Army’s archers on top of the Hanhai Pass wall, and then via Shangguan Wu Ji, it then landed in Wang Duan’s hands.
After reading this sonorous persuasive letter, Wang Dust couldn’t help but smile, “Not bad conditions.”
Great Yan side on Shangguan Wuji surrender conditions can be said to be very high, plus Zhuguo generals, the title of the Crown Prince, sealing the position of the Duke and a county is the cognac, hereditary succession is not easy for a hundred generations.
Completely Prince level treatment!
If there is no wang dust, facing hundreds of thousands of Yan army and three great martial honors Shangguan Wu Ji is likely to succumb.
“It’s all a sham.”
Shangguan Wuji, however, scoffed at this, “Without the Hanhai Army, what kind of Pillar State General and Crown Prince are all bullshit!”
Shangguan Wuji was very clear that the most important bargaining chip he possessed was not his own cultivation strength.
Rather, it was the 50,000 elite Hanhai Army!
If Shangguan Wuji surrendered to Great Yan, would he still be able to master this border army?
Delusional!
Without the Hanhai Army, Shangguan Wuji would be a tiger without his claws and teeth, his power would still be there, but his deterrent power would plummet, and he wouldn’t be able to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
Wang Chen nodded – he could hear that the other party was truly disdainful.
And Shangguan Wuji’s attention once again fell on the drawings in Wang Chen’s hand, and he couldn’t help but ask, “Is this the divine weapon that you said could be used against the Yan Army?”
“That’s right.”
Wang Dust smiled slightly and said, “Its name is called the artillery!”
Originally, Wang Dust hadn’t planned to utilize this great killing weapon so early, but the timing was too good at the moment.
First of all, Yan’s army was coming, and the Hanhai Army needed such a powerful weapon to defend the city against it.
Most importantly, Hanhai City has very good conditions for casting cannons.
There are dozens of small and large blacksmith stores in this Liang border city, and skilled craftsmen abound.
Moreover, there are a lot of talents in the military craftsmen battalion, providing a large number of excellent armaments for Hanhai army every year, plus there are iron mines with a daily output of tens of thousands of pounds near Hanhai City, which is enough to meet the needs of casting cannons!
