"Zeng Shangshu, you go back and rest for a day, I have seen your efforts these days."

"Your Majesty......" Zeng Kui choked up with excitement and was speechless.

"Go ahead." Zhu Bangyu sighed and waved his hand.

"Your Majesty." Zeng Kui bowed and retreated, turning around him, old tears in his eyes.

"Old Prime Minister, do you think these 10,000 soldiers are better than the 2,000 guards in my city?" Zhu Bangyu looked at the old prime minister Zhang Shucheng beside him, alas, if it weren't for this incident, the old prime minister would have returned to his hometown at the beginning of the year.

Zhang Shucheng looked at the soldiers outside the city, felt the murderous aura coming to his face, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, after more than a month of observation, I found that the soldiers outside the city are very strong, if they fight alone, I am afraid that the Imperial City Guards are not their opponents, but if they are lined up, the Imperial City Guards have a good chance of winning." ”

"Oh? So, if we attack actively? Zhu Bangyu's heart moved.

Zhang Shucheng shook his head, "If the soldiers had just come to the city, the old man would definitely agree, but now?" ”

"How?"

"I'm afraid the number of wins and losses is difficult to predict, and once it fails, the capital will not be guaranteed." Zhang Shucheng persuaded helplessly.

"Why?" Zhu Bangyu was a little strange.

"Your Majesty, for more than a month, what do you think of the appearance of these black-clothed soldiers in the city?" Zhang Shucheng did not answer this question directly, but pointed to the 10,000 black-clothed armor soldiers outside the city and asked the emperor.

Zhu Bangyu was a little confused, and asked, "I don't know which aspect the old prime minister is referring to?" ”

"Momentum."

When Zhu Bangyu heard this, he once again set his eyes on the city, and after a while, his face gradually became solemn, "The momentum seems to be good." ”

Not only is it good, the siege is not attacked, it lasts for more than a month, and the momentum is getting stronger and stronger, the person behind this scene is actually a master of war. It's a pity that even if the old man thought of going out of the city and taking the initiative, he was not willing to rush forward, and now that he thinks about it, the situation caused by this should be exactly what the other party wants. 10,000 armor soldiers, only forcing the south gate of Shanhua City, and the other three gates only have dozens of secret posts, this opponent's idea is self-evident, it is for us to take the initiative to abandon the city. It's just that where did they get their self-confidence, giving us more than a month, even if the border is far away, even if the mountain roads are bumpy, those reinforcements should rush back.

But this is obviously unreasonable, could it be that they are also preparing for the rest of the month?

Shaking his head secretly, Zhang Shucheng frowned and said: "Your Majesty, Lincheng has lasted for more than a month and its momentum has not waned, I'm afraid the opponent is not simple." ”

"Does the old prime minister have a good plan?" Zhu Bangyu sighed in his heart, this rebel has not yet found out his identity, under the banner of the people of the world, a month ago, silently displayed under the capital, could it be that this person fell from the sky, and also, the border of the Three Kingdoms, whether it was the agreement reached between the rebels and the Three Kingdoms, or that the Three Kingdoms were the masterminds behind the scenes, thinking of this, Zhu Bangyu had a headache.

Zhang Shucheng shook his head helplessly, now that the enemy and I are unknown, and our own side is in a weak position, it is really not appropriate to act rashly, so we can only wait quietly.

Zhu Bangyu's face was gloomy, and he turned to look at Shanhua City, among the deep mansions, a huge golden yellow appeared from time to time, that was the palace. This is the foundation established by our ancestors, which has lasted for more than 300 years and has lasted for 11 generations, so should it be destroyed in our own hands? No, absolutely not, I will never allow this to happen! Never!

The sun sinks, shedding the last rays of light, and gives up the world to the night. The night is not lazy, the rush to meet the dusk, the dusk will paint everyone and things into a shadowy outline, from shallow to thick, no matter in the city, outside the city, up and down the city, after the completion, slip away.

And so, darkness came; So, the spring night is precipitous; So, the fire shines into the sky.

Outside Shanhua City, the tents lit by the firelight were in order, and in the largest tent in the middle, a fat figure walked out, followed by several soldiers in armor.

If Shifang was here, he would definitely exclaim, because this person was none other than a mortal incarnated by his master Jiu Zhan, whose name was very earthy, and his name was Xiao Dafu.

Although tired, it could be seen that Xiao Dafu's eyes were still shining, and he said to the person behind him: "General Li, I don't know how much that thing has been made now?" ”

"At present, it has been double ten, and it is still in the process of speeding up, but its power is huge, and it is absolutely enough to use it in its current form. If the city is attacked now, the last general will guarantee that within an hour, the south gate of Shanhua City can definitely be captured. Li Hao swore an oath.

"Don't worry, I hope that Shanhua City will fall into my hands completely. Now that the time limit has not yet arrived, let the surnamed Zhu linger for a while. Xiao Dafu smiled coldly and said.

"Your Excellency is wise."

"General Feng, how is the soldier feeling now?"

"It's high, it's useful." Feng Haotian arched his hand and said.

"If I can get General Feng's words, then I will be much more relieved." Xiao Dafu said with a smile.

"Your Excellency has won the prize." Feng Haotian said modestly.

For Feng Haotian, Xiao Dafu is very satisfied, the son of a criminal minister, will never be hired as an official, and his ambition is about to be destroyed in prison, but fortunately he met himself. No, maybe he was lucky to meet him, after his planning, the mediocre emperor, according to his own will, stepped on the road of destruction step by step, this feeling of strategizing, it's really good.

Xiao Dafu inspected the night defense, came to the edge of the firelight, and looked at it, it was the majestic capital, at this time, his heart was on fire, and soon, he would take the most important step to save the people of Li Min, immediately.

Six days went by.

The Ministry of War, Zeng Kui looked at the letter in his hand, his face was pale and trembling, he secretly comforted himself in his heart, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the three-way army, although General Guo in the west could not arrive on time because of the sudden destruction of the mountain road, but there are still two armies, 20,000 each, even if it only reaches one road, it is enough to relieve the siege of the capital.

"Report-" Another herald knelt in front of him with a bright expression, Zeng Kui's heart trembled, and he hurriedly stepped forward and opened the urgent letter:

"Zeng Shangshu, in order to arrive at the capital as soon as possible, Liang took a shortcut and returned, and hurried for several days, without delay, but he did not expect that the only passage of Yingjian Cliff, the Broken Anqiao was completely destroyed, and if the road was rerouted, I am afraid it would take ten days to arrive, Liang was guilty, and looked at His Majesty and accommodated......"

"Report the ——,spring rain for days and days, the mountain road is difficult to walk, General Wang is trapped on the road, I am afraid that it will be ten days late before he can reach the capital."

Zeng Kui's eyes darkened, and he almost fell, and said angrily: "Are you three fools for me? Why are the front and rear feet so aligned? Come on, get me these spies. ”

"Lord Zeng, Lord Zeng, I am really a close confidant of the general, and when General Wang returned to the city to report on his work this year, I also visited you with the general. I'm not a spy, but there are a lot of secret whistles outside, and somehow, they only let down their guard today, and I have to wait for the city to enter the city! A messenger cried.

"Shut up, bewitch the people, mess with our army's heart, come, press them into the prison!"

Zeng Kui's mind turned, now in this situation, he must not mess up, by the way, he must report to the emperor, I don't believe it, as long as I Shanhua City's 200,000 soldiers and civilians work together, I can't resist the 10,000 rabble. Besides, it is enough to resist for ten more days. Thinking of this, with three letters in hand, Zeng Kui went straight to the palace.

Zhu Bangyu's hands trembled, and the fingers holding the letter were faintly blue, showing his extremely disordered mood.

"Your Majesty, after a few days of hard work, I have raised 3,000 young people who can fight, and if the anti-thieves want to capture my Shanhua City with a mere 10,000 troops, it is tantamount to a fool's dream."

Zhu Bangyu's face looked better at this time, the siege battle, ten and ten sieges, only 10,000 troops, just want to threaten me to abdicate, the head of this anti-thief will not be a madman.

I'd like to see how you do after the four-day deadline!

"Your Majesty, there is an emergency military situation outside the palace."

Another emergency military situation? Zhu Bangyu frowned and commanded: "Hustle! ”

"I have seen the emperor in my humble position, and I enlighten the emperor, and the thief is going to hold a military exercise." The herald knelt down and said.

"The military exercise, I'm afraid it's a demonstration of Chiguoguo, let's go, I want to see what kind of moths can be played by a bunch of rabble. Come with me, ministers. ”

"Whew——。"

Half an hour later, on the wall of Shanhua City, Zhu Bangyu led a group of ministers, their eyes narrowed slightly, staring at everything outside the city.

As the snares and drums came, the black-clad soldiers formed in unison.

Zhu Bangyu sneered: "This pomp is not bad, but the combat power does not know how." ”

As the drum beat intensified, the army formation suddenly separated, revealing twenty chariots, which were not big, covered with black cloth, standing on the city wall, Zhu Bangyu and the others couldn't really see it.

"Is it necessary to use chariots to siege the city, it is really ridiculous."

Hearing the emperor's sarcasm, Zhang Shucheng shook his head, this kind of thing that ordinary people know, how can the thief not know, it seems that the emperor is a little dizzy with anger.

"Your Excellency, you're ready." Feng Haotian was extremely excited in his heart, and his voice was also extremely excited, and he said loudly: "Please give an order!" ”

Xiao Dafu stood quietly and said coldly, "Let's start." ”

The black cloth was suddenly lifted, and dozens of black cylindrical objects refracted the warm spring sunlight domineeringly, and the city was suddenly silent.

Zeng Kui muttered distractedly, "Black-clothed...... Cannon......"

"Prepare ——!"

"Put!" Feng Haotian gave an order, accompanied by a short and mammoth roar, dozens of rays of light struck towards the hill three hundred meters away.

The earthquake trembled, the dust was noisy, Zhu Bangyu looked at the smoke and dust in a daze, after a long time, when everything returned to calm, the hill about ten meters high no longer existed.

Above the city walls, there was a deathly silence.

After a while, there was a sudden commotion in the city, and after looking at Zhu Bangyu, who was still stunned, Zhang Shucheng ordered the soldiers around him to let him go and see what was going on in the city.

Soon, the soldier went and returned, and he said, "My lord, a large number of inscriptions have suddenly appeared in the city, and they are anti-thieves. ”

Zhang Shucheng took a look, despair was caged in his heart, could it be that the heavens are dead and I am eating harshly!
