Meanwhile, a tense and solemn atmosphere enveloped Uto City. Only a few hundred soldiers remained to defend the city. Just yesterday, their General Hulanmu had led a contingent of elite troops out to meet the enemy, and since then, there had been no word from him. This left the military and civilians within the city shrouded in a layer of unease, with ominous premonitions growing stronger.
When the defending Brave Soldiers caught sight of the Wu Kingdom's army surging toward them like a tidal wave, their hearts sank to the depths. The enemy was numerous, overwhelming in their numbers—estimated to be at least ten times greater than their own forces! Faced with such a stark disparity in strength, the defenders exchanged glances filled with despair and helplessness. Although they had considered fighting to the death to protect their homeland, reason told them that such an act would be akin to striking a rock with an egg, ultimately leading to their destruction.
After a brief but intense internal struggle, the commander of the defenders made the difficult decision to surrender the city. With a heavy sigh, he ordered his men to lay down their weapons and open the city gates.
Lin Feng led his well-trained and disciplined troops forward with steady and resolute steps as they slowly entered through the city gates. The moment they set foot inside, everyone instinctively halted, gazing up at the magnificent city before them. The towering walls rose into the clouds, majestic and imposing; the city towers exuded grandeur and solemnity. The entire city resembled an impregnable fortress, evoking a sense of insurmountability.
Lin Feng pondered silently; if they were to forcefully attack such a fortified stronghold, it would likely come at an extremely heavy cost. He could only imagine how many brave warriors would spill their blood on this battlefield, becoming Horsehide Wrapping Corpses.
However, at that moment, the once-thriving city was no longer bustling with life. The wide streets lay empty, devoid of any human presence. The once-bustling marketplace had turned eerily quiet, with shops tightly shut as if the entire city had fallen into a deep slumber.
Lin Feng did not head to Hulanmu's residence; instead, he sent his subordinates to escort the deceased Old General respectfully and ordered that he be given a grand burial befitting his status. After all, Hulanmu was not only a battle-hardened veteran but also a person of great virtue and popularity among the people. Bestowing him such honor and respect was only fitting.
Once Hulanmu's affairs were settled, Lin Feng turned toward another side of the city. There lay a residence belonging to a local leader, which Lin Feng had temporarily requisitioned for his use.
Despite the relatively small size of the house, it was sufficient for Lin Feng's temporary needs.
Upon entering, Lin Feng made his way to a spacious and bright room. He sat at the desk, gently stroking its surface as he contemplated his next course of action.
Before long, a subordinate hurried in to report that Lu Yong had arrived.
Upon receiving the news, Lin Feng nodded slightly, signaling for him to come in.
Moments later, the door swung open, and Lu Yong strode in with a robust build and a resolute expression.
Lin Feng looked up at Lu Yong and got straight to the point: "Uncle, we have successfully taken this city. However, according to our previously established strategic plan, we must continue forward. Our next target is White Horse City!"
