Chapter 171: Enemies from both sides
The siege of Dingyang has been lifted? What about Chu Tiancheng and the others?
Qin Rubing's heart sank. Chu Tiancheng absolutely could not die on the battlefield like this.
But soon, she forced herself to calm down.
Could this be a conspiracy of the Confederate Army?
Did they deliberately spread these rumors in an attempt to throw the Eastern Army into confusion and panic?
If this is true, then the news may not be true, but rather false information spread by the Southern Army in order to disrupt the morale of the Eastern Army.
However, if this news is true, then if the Southern Army of Dingyang City turns around and attacks, Kunyang's Eastern Army will be attacked from both sides.
Thinking of this, Qin Rubing couldn't help but frowned.
She felt as if she was caught in a huge conspiracy. What kind of purpose was hidden behind this conspiracy?
She quickly summoned "Xiaoyu".
"Xiaoyu."
"I'm here."
"Activate the surveillance camera function and check the battle situation in Dingyang City."
"Yes, Master."
The real-time scene of Dingyang City immediately appeared in Qin Rubing's mind.
The sunlight shines on the Dingyang city wall, casting a golden glow.
Outside the city wall, the 70,000-strong Eastern Army was lined up in neat rows. They were wearing heavy armor, holding weapons, and their eyes were firm and majestic.
The flags fluttered in the air, dancing in the wind, making rustling sounds.
At the front of the army, the generals rode on tall horses, staring ahead with sharp eyes.
The whole scene was solemn and magnificent, as if a magnificent painting was unfolding before our eyes.
Chu Tiancheng was wearing heavy armor and riding on a strong warhorse. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle as he scanned the city walls and gates in front of him.
As soon as Chu Tiancheng appeared on the screen, Qin Rubing felt much more at ease.
There was dead silence in Dingyang City.
The morale of the Southern Army was low, the soldiers looked tired and there was despair in their eyes.
They had experienced long periods of fighting and siege, were exhausted physically and mentally, and were filled with fear and uncertainty about the future.
On the city wall, the soldiers stood weakly, and the weapons in their hands seemed extremely heavy.
They looked at the Eastern Army outside the city, their hearts filled with helplessness and despair.
The people in the city also felt this atmosphere. They hid in their homes and dared not go out.
The streets were empty and the whole city was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere, as if the end of the world was approaching.
They had been besieged for seven full days, and the food supply in the city was becoming increasingly scarce. The soldiers began to feel the torture of hunger.
As the leader of the Southern Army, Peng Qing was currently sitting in the command center, discussing the situation with several of his confidants.
Peng Qing's face was gloomy and his brows were furrowed. He knew that they were in a desperate situation.
"General, our food and fodder are running out. If we continue to hold on, I'm afraid civil unrest will ensue."
A confidant said anxiously.
Another confidant echoed: "Yes, General, the only way out now is to surrender. As long as we show Chu Tiancheng that we are willing to surrender, we may be able to save our lives."
Peng Qing was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily:
"Okay, go and prepare for surrender. But remember, you must ensure our safety."
Seeing that Peng Qing had finally made up his mind, his confidants quickly left and began to prepare for surrender.
Noon, command center in Kunyang City.
A piece of news from a soldier spread quickly and quietly in the southern military camp.
"The Southern Army in Dingyang City has surrendered. Chu Tiancheng's main force is heading towards Kunyang."
Qin Rubing said: "This is called giving someone a taste of their own medicine."
