How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 686: The Dayan Dynasty Has Long Ended

Chapter 686: Chapter 686: The Dayan Dynasty Has Long Ended

Yan Huan Yu now also figured it out, why keep a tight grip on the Great Tang? The Great Tang’s geographical environment isn’t the best.

There are plenty of better, undeveloped places than the Great Tang.

Now that he has people in his hands, it might be better to stake out a distant territory and establish himself as king.

Moreover, Tang Zan and Pei Shu’er have such high popularity, if he were in the Great Tang, even if he succeeded in acquiring the realm, the common people would first be unwilling.

He himself knows that even if he learns, he cannot govern as well as these two.

Strenuous and unrewarding, always having to chase their footsteps.

But Lin Shiyao insists deeply, she hates Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan to the bone.

Thus, at Lin Shiyao’s insistence, Da Zheng also joined the battlefield.

Da Zheng and the Great Tang have had some friction already.

Once troops were dispatched, the conflict escalated to an irreconcilable level.

Now the Southern Border and Da Zheng are attacking the Great Tang, and the Great Tang just recovered from years of drought, having difficulty dealing with one state, let alone two.

The Great Tang soldiers all felt they were without hope.

The Southern Border has Gu techniques, Da Zheng has numbers.

Previously, Lin Shiyao somehow stole the design diagrams for catapults and manufactured tens of thousands of them.

They happily carried the catapults to the city walls, planning to attack.

However, those soldiers near the catapults would have their heads burst whenever they lifted a stone.

Blood and brains splattered on the faces of their fellow soldiers.

The soldiers around panicked for a moment, quickly dodged, then were ordered by the chiliarch to inspect the situation, and then fearfully approached.

Upon inspection, they found these people’s heads already rotten.

Rotten to the point that even Corpse Gu couldn’t be implanted.

They initially thought it was arrows, now they discovered it wasn’t?

Is it possible, it was Gu worms?

As soon as this idea emerged, everyone’s hearts shivered.

Living and eating together, if one person was affected by Gu, then everyone was potentially affected.

Moreover, some Gu worms are undetectable at first.

But gradually, they identified common traits among those whose heads exploded.

That is, just desiring to touch the catapult, wanting to launch stones, would result in their heads exploding.

Over time, who would willingly approach the catapults, wishing to be far away instead.

Lin Shiyao was about to go insane, her laboriously crafted catapults rendered useless, completely restricted.

Prepared for so long, she thought they would be a great weapon, but they turned out to be mere decorative items.

Lin Shiyao, with no choice, had to recall the people near the catapults and replace them with another batch, while dispatching some Witchcraft Masters to inspect these people’s heads.

After inspection, the Witchcraft Masters found that even if these people’s heads were pierced, it seemed more like they were exploded by something rather than gnawed by Gu worms.

Moreover, among the survivors, none had Gu worms.

After this examination, these people sighed in relief.

But soon, the newly replaced soldiers again had heads exploding.

For a time, there was panic, with claims that the catapults were cursed.

The rumors grew more outrageous, only ceasing when Lin Shiyao ordered the execution of some people.

But even if there was no further verbal discussion, everyone was fearful of the catapults, afraid of being cursed.

Under tremendous psychological pressure, along with the occasional mysterious weapon causing head explosions, the soldiers were terrified of the catapults.

But they had to advance.

After all, Meng County’s city walls are so high, and heavily reinforced; close combat was impossible, only catapults could be used.

Thinking of this, Lin Shiyao gritted her teeth.

She never imagined Pei Shu’er would be so devious, instead of demolishing walls, she sneakily started building walls with blue bricks inside the city.

She chose this moment to attack precisely to catch them off guard.

Though Pei Shu’er and her allies didn’t foresee it, they rapidly began constructing walls as soon as the assault started.

Moreover, the skilled craftsmen who previously built the Gulan Military Camp were called back.

Tang Peiyi and Tang Peixiao, being brothers, were already very harmonious in their collaboration, constructing rapidly.

By the time the enemy discovered and attempted to stop them, it was too late.

The walls were as high as the outer earthen walls and far sturdier.

And then the walls kept rising, several attacks unable to bring them down, and the catapults were left as decorative pieces.

Even those daring enough couldn’t operate the catapults.

As for Tang Peizhong, during this time he remained a commander, starting surprise attacks from the side of the enemy.

The previously formed Tang Family Army was reorganized by him, as the most fiercely courageous troops.

Each time, they only executed surprise raids, damaging the enemy formations, absolutely not lingering in battle.

Ma Zhong’s troops were also fearlessly brave, though their combat techniques and experience were inferior to the Tang Family Army’s, they were significantly stronger than Da Zheng and Southern Border’s forces.

During such attrition, the enemy was ambushed numerous times, and they attempted to apply frontal pressure.

But the front was held by Tang Zan, equally strong and invincible.

The best defense is attack, even if the opponents had many tricks, encountering such a battle-hardened army would cause them to retreat repeatedly.

Yan Huan Yu just glanced from afar at this formation, observing the seamlessly cooperating commanders and soldiers.

He knew at that moment, this world already completely belonged to Tang Zan.

In such a short time, Tang Zan aligned the soldiers’ hearts with his own, indicating he was suited to be the king.

Considering Yan Hengyin in past years, throughout Dayan, there were those who disobeyed him, and even soldiers were unwilling to follow his orders.

Though some openly complied, secretly they yearned for a wiser sovereign to emerge.

So Tang Zan, as Emperor, was truly deserving.

Especially seeing Pei Shu’er also armored, fighting alongside Tang Zan, Yan Huan Yu felt his heart ache slightly.

At the same time, he felt a bit envious.

In truth, he wished his older sister could fight alongside him, but from the moment he desired the throne, it seemed he and his sister grew further apart.

Clearly, he just wanted to be closer to her.

Longing for a high status, longing to stand by her side.

Yan Huan Yu closed his eyes: "Retreat. We are Great Tang people, there’s no need to stand against the Great Tang people."

This was his first admission that the previous Dayan had already become the Great Tang.

Their Yan Family’s dynasty had ended.

His people were merely watching from the side, seeing those passionate familiar faces.

He knew he only wanted that person; if he truly stood against these people, then that person would never forgive him.

He wouldn’t even have the qualifications to call her sister.

When Yan Huan Yu led fifty thousand troops away from here, Lin Shiyao roared furiously.

"Yan Huan Yu, you actually set me up."
