The rebels came quickly, and the Zhou army could only respond hastily. However, under the command of Kou Wang, Deng Yongle and others, the army did not panic. They performed their duties and blocked the invading army.
And these armies were not all the troops dispatched by the rebels. I don’t know when, but all the troops they had accumulated on the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty were dispatched by separate routes, using the cover of the terrain to continuously advance towards the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Although the progress was slow, most of their attention was focused on the chess competition, so it was difficult to detect the scattered soldiers.
After these armies advanced to a certain extent, they began to gather and form an army.
Not only Mingzhou City, but also several surrounding cities were attacked by the rebels.
Because Bai Yutian basically did not fortify these cities, these cities fell quickly.
Soon, Bai Yutian also received news from Xu Hu and others, and learned that Xu Hu and others who were guarding the north were also attacked by the rebels.
However, the army under Xu Hu was very powerful. It not only had the Musket Battalion, but also had a large number of troops from the original Fenghuo Battalion. Therefore, it was at a stalemate with the rebels and even had a slight advantage.
"Your Majesty, do you want to ask General Xu Hu for help?" Kou Wang asked Bai Yutian with a determined look on his face.
Bai Yutian looked forward and shook his head, "No."
"Asking Xu Hu for help, I'm afraid I just fell into their trap."
"Gu Chengxuan is well prepared. Once our army is tired of running around, the rebels will definitely take advantage of it."
Hearing these words, Kou Wang also reacted and praised Bai Yutian's calmness in the face of danger.
The rebels continued to attack for several days, but failed to achieve any results. Instead, they suffered heavy losses.
Seeing this situation, Bai Yutian felt a little relieved. They could just wait for reinforcements from Tailin City to arrive, so they could switch from defense to offense and defeat the rebels.
The only thing that makes Bai Yutian uneasy is Eagle City in the north. According to the news from Dian Wei, more and more ships are manufactured by the three northern countries, and they are very strong.
Once they move south on a large scale, Yingcheng may not be able to resist it.
Moreover, the Eagle City defenders had no way to take the initiative to attack, destroy ships or cause heavy damage to the enemy.
After all, the combined number of armies of the three northern kingdoms is far greater than that of the Yingcheng defenders. What's more, the barbarians of the three northern kingdoms are tall and strong, and their personal strength is far better than that of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Even the warriors from the four major tribes of Shanu Kingdom were slightly inferior compared to them.
At the beginning, the Great Zhou Dynasty owned thousands of miles of territory north of Yingcheng, and all of it was invaded by the three northern kingdoms. If it were not for Yingcheng, I am afraid that the three northern kingdoms would invade even more powerfully.
Dazhou wanted to be really proud and proud, crushing the surrounding countries, so that the barbarians were unwilling to despise Dazhou, so they had to defeat the three northern kingdoms.
Regarding the problems in Eagle City, Bai Yutian could only ask Yuncheng for advice.
Originally, Bai Yutian planned to let Yuncheng retreat to Tailin City to avoid being affected by the war-torn Mingzhou City.
However, Yuncheng was loyal and courageous, and believed that Bai Yutian had not flinched even as an emperor, so how could he, a minister, have the right to flinch.
Therefore, Yuncheng was determined not to withdraw from Mingzhou City.
In a large courtyard in Mingzhou City, Bai Yutian and Yuncheng sat opposite each other and discussed the issues of Eagle City.
"Your Majesty, with all due respect, Eagle City is currently stuck to this path."
"Your Majesty obtained the Ansai Plain through negotiations with the Shanu Kingdom, so there will be absolutely no problem with Eagle City's logistics, food supplies, etc."
Bai Yutian did not answer immediately, but glanced at Yuncheng melancholy.
"The three northern countries launched a water offensive. Once they attack, Eagle City will be defending with their lives."
Bai Yutian's words were full of heartache. Even Jing Ling did not expect what would happen next and had no choice but to defend Tancheng.
But for the Zhou soldiers in Eagle City, they already knew that they were about to die, but they could only stay in Eagle City and wait to die.
For them, this is such despair.
"Your Majesty, this is all we can do now."
"I believe that as long as Eagle City is defended, even if we cannot eliminate the rebels, we can still severely damage them and prevent them from rising again." Yuncheng stood up, bowed to Bai Yutian, and said respectfully.
Since even Yuncheng had no choice, Bai Yutian had no choice but to do anything.
The only thing they can do now is to eliminate the rebels as soon as possible and then go to support Eagle City.
Bai Yutian originally planned to wait until the domestic affairs were completely settled before having a decisive battle with the three northern countries.
At that time, with the help of Shanu Kingdom, they would definitely have a great advantage.
