Chapter 715: The Weakness of Human Nature

The Shaofu Supervisor was on the edge of the imperial city, but a few hundred meters away, Li Xun asked Zhu Zhengguo to lead people to look for siege equipment, and it took only a quarter of an hour to go back and forth, and Zhu Zhengguo was with dozens of siege ladders and other siege equipment.

"Brother Zhu, is there no one to guard the young government supervisor?"

Zhu Zhengguo went back and forth so quickly, Li Xun asked with some puzzlement.

Zhu Zhengguo shook his head: "Just a few old men guarding the door, I heard from them that after the mutiny in the city, all the officials and craftsmen of the Shaofu Prison fled. ”

Li Xun laughed when he heard this: "Zhao He is good at conspiracy, no matter how big or small, this is his strength, but it is also his way to defeat." ”

Zhao He has a gloomy and steady personality, he does things and then acts, he surrenders very deeply, and he is forbearant enough, he plays intrigues and tricks, and calculates others, which is extremely powerful, this is his strength, but he puts too much attention on this aspect, and ignores other things.

Fengjing as the political and economic center of the Jin Dynasty and the Han people, his majesty and importance are self-evident, as far as the city itself is concerned, Fengjing this city, thick and tall, in the eyes of ordinary people, as long as the city wall is high and thick enough, this is a very difficult to be broken city, if only this point, Fengjing can indeed be regarded as a rare strong city in the world, but a little common sense, understand some military knowledge of the person, Fengjing is a city that is almost undefended, without any defense ability.

Fengjing is too big, in this world, there may not be any country, can have a city that can be compared to the scale of Fengjing, in order to perfectly defend this huge city, at least more than 200,000 troops are needed, of course, this is only secondary, as the core of the Han country, if someone can really fight Fengjing, in fact, it means that the country has reached the verge of extinction, even if there are more troops, empty to defend a lonely city, what is the use?

The imperial city in Fengjing can be described as a city within a city, the thickness and height of his city wall can definitely be called a strong city, if Zhao He can control the Shaofu Supervisor in advance, or even burn it down, Li Xun, who has no siege equipment, wants to take the imperial city in a short time, it is almost a pipe dream, but Zhao He did not expect this, which gave Li Xun a chance.

"Siege the city immediately."

Li Xun looked coldly ahead and gave the order to attack the city.

East Palace.

Zhao Xun curled up in the corner of the bed, his head buried in his chest, his body trembled slightly, infinite fear had overwhelmed his mind, what dignity and strength, for Zhao Xun at this moment, it was all thrown out of the clouds.

Thanks to the persuasion of Mu Gong, Zhao Xun took Zhao Zhi back to the East Palace through the secret passage at the last moment, and shortly thereafter, Yu Linwei, led by the eldest grandson Wuyang, rebelled.

At the beginning of the war, Zhao Xun was on the city wall, shouting loudly, inspiring the East Palace 8,000 soldiers, swearing to defend the East Palace, at that time, the foot was the city wall of the Gundam, and there were 8,000 East Palace six rate guards in front of and behind him, Zhao Xun could be very strong, but with the start of the war, the intensity of the fight between the two sides continued to rise, watching the countless soldiers around him die tragically on the spot, listening to the sound in his ears, the miserable screams before death, Zhao Xun's strong heart, slowly shrouded in fear, when an arrow grazed his scalp and flew overWhen several ill-intentioned soldiers intended to murder Zhao Xun, when more and more Yulin guard soldiers climbed the city wall, roared, and rushed towards Zhao Xun with a hideous face, the gathering and explosion of all things completely crushed Zhao Xun's spirit, Zhao Xun's whole mind finally collapsed, he screamed and fled back to the depths of the East Palace, closed the door tightly, like an ostrich, curled up in a corner, buried his head deep in his chest, his body trembled, for everything that happened outside, escape, fear.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you should be outside to inspire the soldiers now, as long as they see you, they will definitely fight to the death."

At this moment, the crown princess Yuwen Huashang, as a weak woman, seemed quite calm and calm, she held Zhao Xun's eldest son, knocked on the door, and tried to persuade Zhao Xun to go out, instead of hiding in the room, which is not good for the development of the war situation, and it is safe to hide here? Once the rebels break through the East Palace, where else can Zhao Xun hide? In Yuwen Huashang's view, hiding here is useless at all, it is better to walk on the city wall bravely, Zhao Xun is the crown prince, the future emperor, his existence can greatly inspire the confidence and morale of the soldiers, even if they fail in the end, they will die with backbone.

"Fuck off."

In the room, there was a lung-splitting roar from Zhao Xun.

Yuwen Huashang shook his head and sighed, at the moment of life and death, he can see the true nature of a person, he is calm and calm, not impatient, and gentle Zhao Xun, his temperament is admired by a lot, but who would have thought that Zhao Xun at this moment would be such an unbearable and weak?

Yuwen Huashang wanted to continue to persuade, but the shepherd who was standing on the side grabbed her and shook his head at it, Yuwen Huashang sighed lightly, hugged the child and walked away.

Mu Gong looked at the back of the princess leaving, his thoughts couldn't help but have some drifts, he suddenly thought of the former Zhao Zhi, in order to cover up the embarrassment, the past of being bullied, lived for many years, grew up here, hundreds of people in the whole village were killed, a stormy night, that night Zhao Zhi may have dreamed of the past, that familiar faces, suddenly woke up from sleep, cried all night, since then, head disease entangled him all his life.

"Mugong, where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Zhang Jin walked in with a blood red body, he had been fighting at the forefront for more than two hours, the exhaustion on his face had been revealed, but his eyes were still bright and resolute, maybe tonight's choice would be the end of his life, but Zhang Jin had no regrets, he had his principles and moral bottom line.

Zhang Jin's arrival woke Mu Gong up from his memories.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was suddenly in distress, exhausted, and resting in the room, what is the matter with Zhang Jin?"

Mu Gong naturally couldn't tell the truth to Zhang Jin.

Zhang Jin nodded, without suspicion, stepped forward to take Mu Gong's hand, and said excitedly: "Mu Gong, good news, Li Xun is leading a large army to storm the imperial city, since he can lead the army to fight here in the imperial city, this shows that the situation in the city has been controlled by Li Xun and others, and the prince is saved." ”

When Mu Gong heard this, his face suddenly had a look of surprise, but soon it turned calm, he looked at Zhang Jin, and asked in a deep voice, "General Zhang, how long can we hold out." ”

"More than half of the 8,000 soldiers have been killed and wounded, the rebels' offensive is getting more and more fierce, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for long, I want to tell the prince the news, and then let the prince ......."

Zhang Jin didn't finish his words, but Mu Gong had already understood what he meant, at this time, the prince should be with the soldiers, coexist and die, as long as the prince is there, it will greatly improve the morale of the soldiers, as long as the morale is not weak, the soldiers dare to fight to the death, and the time to hold on will be greatly improved.

"You immediately return to the city wall to command, there can't be without you, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I will arrive later."

Zhang Jin nodded, didn't say more, turned around and strode away.
