The firelight floating around made the tower look like daylight.

Piroye sat on the horse and looked up towards the city. He was about 40 years old and in his prime. He wore a tiger-head helmet on his head and a full beard. His face could not be seen clearly, but his eyes were cloudy. Reflecting the raging firelight, it looked as ferocious as a wolf, as if it wanted to tear him apart.

Luo Yan's heart sank, and he couldn't help clenching his fists. He turned his head and asked the attendants around him: "Have the people sent back by the eldest princess to deliver the message sent back any news about the eldest princess?"

As night fell, one after another secret guards and imperial city guards sent news about Yueji City to Dali City.

Only there is no news about the eldest princess.

The attendant shook his head and looked solemn: "The entire territory of Binchuan has been completely sealed off, and everyone around the eldest princess has also been sent out to deliver the message. It is impossible for her to escape."

People in Dali City are already impetuous. The eldest princess is not in Dali City. This city is not easy to defend. Luo Yan's face turned gloomy.

Piroye raised his voice and said: "Luoyan, since ancient times, attacking a city has required three times the number of troops. This time I lead 15 troops, which is enough to capture the entire city of Dali. Sheng Lilong has surrendered to Yun Zhongguo. Three imperial edicts have become two imperial edicts. The entire Dali The total number of people in the city is probably less than [-]!"

"If you are wise, surrender obediently. As long as you are willing to take the initiative to open the city gate and welcome the Chinese army into the city, I promise to spare your life and spare your people. What do you think?"

Luo Yan didn't say anything, and he didn't make any news about Yue Jizhao.

When he got the news, it was too late. He could only deal with Piroye's elite soldiers buried in the city, and there was no time to make more arrangements.

At this time, when the soldiers guarding the city heard Yue's edict to surrender to Yun China, they were like a drop of water splashing into an oil pan, and there was a commotion on the city wall.

Everyone was dumbfounded and looked horrified.

The three imperial edicts have always been linked together, but Yue Jizhao's betrayal was like a knife stabbed from behind, catching everyone off guard and giving everyone a heavy blow.

The coalition forces of the three imperial edicts became two imperial edicts, and the number of troops suddenly decreased by tens of thousands, and the pressure on defending the city also increased a lot.

The soldiers guarding the city were full of anger, but they were helpless. Looking at the black Chinese army on the city wall, everyone felt an invisible pressure.

Piroye's army covered all directions, brutally slaughtered, and conquered the surrounding tribes, large and small, and even the Southern Dynasties did not dare to confront them head-on.

Can these people defeat Piroye's army and defend Dali City?
Piroye laughed and said: "Luo Yan, I received news five days ago that General Zhengnan led [-] Qi family troops. On the way to Dali City, he suddenly received news that the leader of the South Vietnam Kingdom personally led [-] troops and sent troops to Lingnan. , General Zhengnan immediately led his troops back to Lingnan."

"Haha, the reinforcements from the Southern Dynasty will not come."

"Luo Yan, just relying on the two edicts of Mengxi and Mengshe, we can't defend Dali City. It's better not to sacrifice in vain and surrender to me obediently!"

Below, the soldiers of Yun China shouted: "Surrender without killing, surrender without killing..."

The sound was like thunder and the momentum was so powerful that Luo Yan's complexion changed. Even the soldiers around him couldn't help but turn pale with fright. The soldiers guarding the city couldn't help but look frightened and whisper to each other.

"This is impossible!"

"If the Qi family army doesn't come, won't we be trapped in the city?"

"The eldest princess is still in Dali City, why won't the Qi family army come?"

"This guy Piroye is definitely tricking us and wants to disrupt our military morale. We can't be fooled or fall into this guy's tricks."

"..."

There was a lot of chattering around him, but Luo Yan's face looked a little gloomy.

Piroye did not want to confront the Qi army head-on. Even though he had [-] elite soldiers buried in Dali City, he remained stationary and waited for the opportunity.He didn't send troops early or late, but he chose today to do so, obviously thinking that the best time to attack the city had arrived.

Then Qi Jiajun probably really won't come.

Hearing the constant shouting of Luo Yan's men on the city wall, Piroye couldn't help laughing: "Even if General Zhengnan comes, how can a mere 15 elite soldiers resist my [-]-strong army? You really are Fantastic.”

The shouting on the city wall gradually weakened. The defenders looked at the menacing army at the city gate and couldn't help but relax as they tightened their bow strings.

Piroye continued: "I might as well tell you that the eldest princess is no longer at the inn. She secretly went to Yuexi City. She is currently trapped in Binchuan and will soon become my prisoner. If you don't believe it, send someone to the inn to take a look. You know, of course, you can also ask Sir Luo Yan around you, he was the one who protected the eldest princess from leaving the city before."

The group of people looked at each other and then looked at Luo Yan.

"Lord Luoyan, is what Piroye said true? Is the eldest princess really not at the inn?"

"How could you hide such a big thing from us?"

"Is the eldest princess at the inn?"

"If the eldest princess is not in Dali City, will the Qi family army not come?"

"..."

Facing the questions from his subordinates, Luo Yan's throat was dry and he didn't know how to speak. As soon as the news that the eldest princess was not in Dali City spread, Dali City would fall into panic.

Piroye laughed evilly: "As you all know, I have sent people to submit a negotiation document to His Majesty the Southern Dynasty, asking His Majesty the Southern Dynasty not to interfere in the struggle in the Southwest. After I unify the Southwest, I will not only support the Lingnan war, but also continue to pay annual tribute to the Southern Dynasty. Five counties in Yunnan will be ceded to the Southern Dynasty, and people will be sent to escort the eldest princess back to the DPRK safely. How do you think His Majesty the Southern Dynasty will make a decision?"

At present, the war in Lingnan still needs to be put down by the Qi family's army. The Southern Dynasty would rather take a step back and let Piroye unify the southwest, and would also save the eldest princess to avoid chilling the hearts of the Qi family's army.

Luo Yan closed his eyes.

Luo Yan was no stranger to these terms of Piroeti. When Ge Lisi represented Yun China in negotiating with the Southern Dynasty, he had put forward these conditions and only asked the Southern Dynasty not to interfere in the southwestern struggle. The Southern Dynasty almost agreed.

It was he who paid homage to the eldest princess and then signed the terms of diplomatic relations with the Southern Dynasty for communism and resistance to South Vietnam, so the matter was settled.

Now Sanzhao first violated the original terms. The Sanzhao rebels did not go to Lingnan to participate in the war. The promised supplies were still in Dali City and had not been transported to the Lingnan front line.

The eldest princess fell into the hands of Piroye, and the three imperial edicts were inseparable. The Southern Dynasty was bound to anger Er Meng.

Lingnan is at war with the South Vietnamese State. In order to appease the Qi family army, the imperial court will definitely agree to Piroye's request to protect the safety of the princess.

The tide is gone.

The subordinates around Luo Yan were also aware of this, and their faces were all ashen-colored. Before the battle even started, their morale had been reduced and their morale was disturbed.

There were only 6 to [-] people in the city, and with no reinforcements or supplies, they became a trapped beast.

Piroye had an army of 15. Even if he lost his troops and generals during the siege, Yue Xizhao, who had taken refuge in Yun China, could mobilize troops to continue the siege.

If they can't hold it, it's better to surrender directly.

"Princess Protector, Jiang Fuguang is here."
