Listening to the casualty reports from the soldiers under his command, Su Ziyan's heart became more and more heavy.

Although wars inevitably lead to casualties, when the casualties happened on his own side, Su Ziyan found that his heart was still so fragile.

"Send a thousand soldiers to send the bones of the sacrificed soldiers back to the empire, and bury them generously. If they have family members, they will be cared for and subsidized according to the empire's system."

Su Ziyan sighed and said to the lieutenant beside him.

After capturing Lin Xi City, Su Ziyan did not rest for too long, but set off with his army the next day, heading towards the capital of the Nanlin Empire.

The current Nanlin Empire has been riddled with holes due to this war. Not to mention the ministers who are still fighting for power in the capital, but only two cities of the Nanlin Empire are left!

At this time, the capital of the Nanlin Empire.

In the imperial palace, all the ministers of the Nanlin Empire stood here with dignified expressions, while Cao Yan, the original prime minister of the Nanlin Empire, stood at the highest place representing the throne.

During this month, these ministers have developed from the initial multilateral competition for the throne to the main force headed by Prime Minister Cao Yan.

Obviously, if this war can be subsided smoothly, then the original Nanlin Empire's prime minister, Cao Yan, will ascend to the throne of the Nanlin Empire!

"Everyone, according to the news, all the troops of our Nanlin Empire except the border troops in the east have been wiped out, and the road from the capital to the east has been occupied by the Martial God Empire."

"Now, the Martial God Empire has captured the fifteen cities of our Nanlin Empire. In our huge Nanlin Empire, there are only these two cities left!"

"What we should do next is not continue to fight in this court, but work together to try to keep our Nanlin Empire, so as not to suffer the disaster of subjugation!"

Cao Yan spoke loudly, trying to impress the officials below.

Hearing this, all the officials in the court were a little moved.

You know, if the Nanlin Empire is destroyed, no matter how much they do now, it will be in vain.

After thinking about it, these hundreds of ministers all agreed with Cao Yan's statement. They let go of their original prejudices, and even some ministers who regarded each other as sworn enemies stopped confrontation and concentrated their strength together.

After all, at this time of family and country crisis, if they don't abandon the so-called attitude of "to fight against the outside world, we must first settle down at home", they will undoubtedly seek their own death!

"I have subdued tens of thousands of people in the capital, and have trained them to a certain extent, and they can form combat power. I can order them to fight!"

"There are five hundred sets of armor hidden in my mansion, and I can provide them!"

"My mansion also has two hundred sets!"

"I am willing to provide three hundred sets!"

"There are a thousand Liannu hidden in my mansion, originally intended to be transported to the border for smuggling trade, but the matter has come to this point, I am willing to contribute all of them!"

"..."

These ministers opened their mouths one after another, and took out all the cards they had in the bottom of the box.

All of these cards are shocking, and some ministers even have cards that can usurp the throne!

However, now is not the time to worry about these things. The prime minister at the top gathered the materials that everyone was willing to provide and came to the final conclusion.

That is, in addition to the original 5,000 city defense army, they can also pull out an army of 20,000 people in the city!

Moreover, these 20,000 people are fully armed!

Before this, I am afraid that even these ministers did not expect that there is such a terrifying power hidden in this capital!

"Prime Minister Cao, even if we have 25,000 soldiers, I'm afraid we can't match the 350,000 troops of the Martial God Empire."

Minister of the Ministry of War said with a bit of worry in his eyes.

Hearing this, Cao Yan smiled, and said, "If the army of the Martial God Empire is led by Yu Wenzhuo, the former rehabilitated coach, or Nan Gongyi, the general of the southern frontier army, then I will still be a little worried."

"But as far as I know, the commander of the 350,000 troops is nothing more than a yellow-mouthed kid in his weak years."

"Don't forget, I am a master martial artist!"

Cao Yan showed his aura of a master warrior, he said calmly.

However, he did not expect that Nangong Yi, a strong second-tier martial artist, would actually fight with the army.

Otherwise, he certainly wouldn't be so confident.

After all, Nangong Yi has been a soldier for decades, and his combat experience can definitely crush him. Although Cao Yan has such strength, he is only a civil servant, and his combat experience is still flawed.

If Cao Yan knew that Nangong Yi was not a master martial artist, but had already reached the realm of a martial artist, then he might have already started thinking about running away.

At this time, after hearing Cao Yan's words, the officials also let go of their worries.

Although a grandmaster warrior cannot single-handedly fight an army of 350,000 troops, if he just defends the city, there is no problem.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the other party does not have a master martial artist or above.

With the cooperation of the ministers, 20,000 fully armed soldiers were pulled out of the capital, and the original 5,000 city defense soldiers were also incorporated into this army.

The next day, Su Ziyan led an army of 350,000 warriors from the Martial God Empire to the city.

And on the city wall of the capital city of the Nanlin Empire, there were thousands of soldiers holding crossbows.

In addition, there are 20,000 soldiers holding swords, standing behind the city wall, waiting for the next battle.

"This time, we are not in a hurry to attack the city. Let the soldiers of the Bow and Crossbow Battalion be responsible for shooting and killing the enemies on the city wall, so as to consume the last vitality of the capital of the Nanlin Empire as much as possible."

"The soldiers of the Heavy Shield Battalion are responsible for covering the Crossbow Battalion so that they can export more safely."

"We will attack the city after the enemies on the city wall are dead."

Su Ziyan passed on the order lightly.

After more than 10,000 soldiers died in the previous battle, the fighting method he chose has changed greatly. He changed from the original crushing attack to the more secure fighting method now.

"yes!"

The lieutenant next to Su Ziyan nodded, and quickly passed on his order.

Su Ziyan's orders were passed down layer by layer to the soldiers below. It didn't take long before 30,000 soldiers were separated from the 350,000 army. These 30,000 soldiers were all armed with heavy shields and entered the city wall on their own initiative. Within the furthest range of those Nanlin Empire crossbowmen.

However, these Nanlin Empire crossbowmen did not shoot immediately. After all, the distance between the two sides was too far. Not only could shooting rashly fail to guarantee the hit rate, but it would also waste the few arrows left in the capital.
