135. The Fall of Xinyang
「Xinyang City」
On the city wall, Leng Qingyu stared at the distant, rolling banners with a stern expression. Xinyang City had been under siege for more than ten days. If the siege was not lifted soon, the city might collapse from within, even if the Xiling Army did not breach its defenses. To make matters worse, the reinforcements that had just arrived at the border had lost almost half their men upon arrival. More discouragingly, the Heir of South Marquis, who was serving as Vice General, had disappeared from the battlefield. This further demoralized the city's defenders. If the defending general of Xinyang City hadn't died in battle, leaving Xinyang without anyone to manage the overall situation, it's uncertain if he would even be standing on this wall now.
