Yidu City.

Yu Tai climbed the city wall early, and the five-meter-high city wall was planted with a four-clawed dragon flag, which represented the fiefdom of a prince.

The walls were full of soldiers, and everyone looked at each other a little nervously, wondering what was going on.

"Are there rogues attacking the city?"

"I don't know, I heard that there is a plague outside, will anyone revolt!"

"I don't know, the second prince is here, something big should happen, just listen to the order!"

Most of these soldiers are soldiers recruited from Yidu, according to the Yutang Empire system, the prince can have 3,000 guards, and the county king can have 1,500 guards, but seeing the number of soldiers on the city wall, it has far exceeded this scale, except for the 1,000 defenders of Yidu, the number is still exceeded.

However, this kind of thing is the default unspoken rule in everyone's heart, and the general prince's guards will be overstepped, such as the number of personal guards of King Han and King Qing has reached 10,000, but the emperor also turns a blind eye.

However, the number of troops under Yu Tai has reached nearly 30,000, and part of the main reason why Yu Tai will go on a rampage is to feed the army of 30,000 people.

Yu Tai stood on the city wall, looking into the distance, he could already see the dust and smoke billowing out, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, not knowing what would happen, and looked at Qin Hui beside him: "Are you ready?" ”

Qin Hui nodded: "Your Highness, it's ready, as long as you enter the city, you will!" After saying that, he made a clicking gesture.

After getting Qin Hui's answer, Yu Tai nodded, although he was still entangled in his heart, he had already made up his mind that he must kill Yu Zhiqian, this was his only chance, if he didn't fight for it, maybe he really didn't have a chance!

"General Wei, how is the city defense prepared!"

After Wei Yan saw Yu Tai, he immediately saluted: "Back to the Second Highness, the city defense has just been inspected, and there are three thousand soldiers guarding all sides, there will be no mistakes!" ”

"Well, well done, General Wei!"

Yu Tai patted Wei Yan on the shoulder, this is a military general he found in Yidu, he is strong in force and loyal to Yu Tai!

"Your Highness Xie praises, but Your Highness, where is the army in the distance?"

"I don't know, that's why I'm prepared!"

"The last general will definitely protect His Highness to the death!"

"General Wei is too worried, Yidu has a lot of soldiers, there is no shortage of food and grass, you and I don't have to worry, besides, the people who come are not necessarily enemies!"

After Yu Tai finished speaking, he continued to look into the distance, already thinking about how to explain to his father after killing his eldest brother.

Soon a group of cavalry appeared in front of Yidu City, and after seeing the cavalry, most of the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, not rogues or bandits.

War horses are a scarce resource, rogues or rebels, even if they can get war horses, there are very few, only enough for some leaders to ride, and hundreds of people are all cavalry, obviously regular army, but the flag is not shown, and I don't know where the cavalry is for the time being.

"I am Zuo Qingdao, the crown prince, and lead Cao to join the army in Zhoucang, and you will open the city gate and surrender as soon as possible!"

The leader of the army is called Zhou Cang, nothing else, but his voice is very loud, after shouting, everyone in Yidu City was stunned and asked them to open the door and surrender? Why should we surrender? Could it be that the crown prince rebelled? It's already hit Yidu!

At this time, Yu Tai stood up and looked at Zhou Cang below with cold eyes: "This king is the king of Yidu County, this is the fief of this king, I am an important town, why did Kaicheng surrender, is it possible that the prince has already rebelled, I advise you not to help the abuse, dismount and surrender!" ”

Hearing Yu Tai's words, the soldiers on the city wall of Yidu were even more shocked, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rebelled? The group of soldiers immediately whispered.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has rebelled, and they have all hit Yidu, so is the prince the new emperor now!"

"Why should the crown prince rebel, the throne will be his!"

“……”

Wei Yan's eyes were also erratic, now he was a little unclear about the situation, the prince's people came and asked them to open the door and surrender, but Yu Tai said that the prince rebelled, and it was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, you don't want to pour dirty water on His Royal Highness the Prince, you hide the epidemic and raise prices...... These crimes have been reported to His Majesty, and His Majesty has issued a decree for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ...... Listen, the people on the city wall, you are not going to help the abuse, now lay down your arms and open the city to surrender, you can still ......"

"Hmph, be mentally prepared, when the army arrives, it will be the time for you to perish!"

"Shoot the arrows!"

Yu Tai was angry and directly ordered to attack, but the soldiers on the city wall did not dare to move, you look at me, I look at you, no one dared to release the first arrow!

"I let you release the arrows, you can't do it, they are anti-thieves and anti-thieves!"

Yu Tai shouted loudly, the soldiers looked at each other, and finally gritted their teeth and shot arrows into the sky, but there was still some distance from the cavalry, well, at least a safe distance of ten meters.

Zhou Cang saw that his tentative effect had been achieved, glanced at Yidu City, turned his horse's head and hurried towards the rear.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Zhou Cang is here to report!"

"Biography!"

"Your Highness, the city of Yidu is already full of soldiers, the second prince Yu Tai is supervising the battle at the head of the city, the city gate is closed, and he ordered to release arrows to us just now!"

"Got it!"

Yu Zhiqian snorted coldly, it seemed that the second child had already had a rebellion, and he revealed his true form after a little temptation, and waved his hand: "Full speed ahead, camp in front of Yidu City!" ”

"Whoa!"

Originally, Yu Zhiqian's army was not far from Yidu City, but it was only a dozen miles away, and after receiving the order, in less than an hour, the army came to the place where Yidu City was a stone's throw away.

Yu Zhiqian rode a horse and slowly walked out of the military formation: "Second brother, you still know me!" ”

Yu Tai looked at Yu Zhiqian and clenched his fists: "It turned out to be the eldest brother, I don't know what the eldest brother is doing when he leads the troops to the younger brother's fiefdom?" Could it be that the big brother wants to kill them all? ”

Yu Zhiqian and Yu Tai are about 200 meters together, and even if the two of them shout loudly, they can only listen to a rough idea, but there is a humanoid microphone, and there is a loud voice in the army who is responsible for transmitting words, and it is professionally trained, so that the voice can be consistent, just like now, although Yu Zhiqian walked out on a horse alone.

But behind him, a group of shield-wielding guards are ready to shoot at any time, as long as arrows are released on the city wall, they will immediately rush over and surround Yu Zhiqian, ensuring that Yu Zhiqian is foolproof, and further back, there is a row of well-trained transmitters, all with big shoulders and round waists, taking off their shirts and crossing their waists, responsible for transmitting Yu Zhiqian's words to the opposite side.

More than a dozen people spoke out in unison, and all the people on the city wall could hear it clearly, and the same was almost the same behind the second child, and someone was in charge of special communication.

"Kill them all, Yu Tai, you and Wang Dong conspired to rebel, trained the dead, the outbreak of the epidemic, you and Wang Dong, kept it secret and did not report, causing the death of millions of people in Shannan Province, hoarding goods, driving up prices, and hiding the imperial court...... The above criminal evidence is ironclad, and you can't deny it, Yu Tai, if you surrender in Kaicheng now, read it in my two brothers, I will leave you with all your corpses, otherwise! ”

Hearing Yu Zhiqian's words, Yu Tai's face turned pale, he had done everything Yu Zhiqian said, he always thought that no one knew, but he didn't expect that Yu Zhiqian actually said it one by one, Yu Zhiqian knew, his father must also know, so he ......

Thinking of this, a trace of determination flashed on Yu Tai's face, even if he surrendered now, the best result would be to be escorted back to Chang'an, and then imprisoned for a lifetime, but if he gave it a go, he still had 30,000 troops in his hands, and there were still 20,000 or 30,000 troops in the surrounding cities under his control.

"It's nonsense, Yu Zhiqian, you lead the troops here, my father is afraid that he has already suffered, Yu Zhiqian, as the crown prince, but you are ambitious!" Yu Tai immediately scolded Yu Zhiqian loudly, because he saw that some of his subordinates were already swaying, and his eyes were a little unkind when he looked at Yu Tai.

These people are not Yu Tai's henchmen, they are just doing things under Yu Tai to get some money, but if they want to follow Yu Tai to rebel, this group of people will definitely not agree, after all, rebellion is to kill the head, but after hearing Yu Tai's words, everyone became puzzled again, and couldn't help but look at Yu Zhiqian, I don't know what the two princes are doing!

"Hmph, I see that you don't see the Yellow River and don't give up, this gold medal, you know the second child, this is the palace!"

“……”

The two of them fought for a long time, but they didn't make a move, and Yu Zhiqian's subordinates were a little anxious: "His Royal Highness the Prince, give the order to attack the city!" ”

Yu Zhiqian glanced at the defenders above the city wall, as well as the hundreds of thousands of people in Yidu, and shook his head: "Don't attack the city first, it's best to persuade you to surrender, once the city is attacked, the people in the city may ......."

If it was changed to any place, Yu Zhiqian would not hesitate to order the siege of the city, but Shannan Dao could no longer withstand the toss, and if it could reduce a little loss, it would reduce a little loss.

"Let the hot air balloon take off, throw leaflets, let the strength shout to the city, Yu Tai intends to rebel, who can open the city gate and reward a thousand gold!"

"Whoa!"

Soon, in the camp on Yu Zhiqian's side, several hot air balloons were slowly inflated, and then began to rise into the air, flying towards Yidu City.

"What's that?"

The soldiers on the city wall found a huge monster flying up for the first time, this is Yidu, a small city under the Yutang Empire, the people of Chang'an City are used to hot air balloons, but the people here are still the first time to see this kind of monster that can fly in the sky, and they can't help but exclaim.

"The gods are here!"

"Look at someone flying!"

"Get on your knees!"

This group of soldiers kept shouting loudly, some of them knelt down directly, and kept kowtowing to the hot air balloon, and in the city tower, Yu Tai, who was already tired of scolding Yu Zhiqian, was drinking tea to moisten his throat, and at the same time constantly arranged his subordinates to prepare for follow-up matters, first of all, to mobilize the troops of some surrounding areas to support Yidu.

Yu Tai knows very well that as long as his eldest brother's army is repulsed, no one in Shannan Province will be able to threaten him for the time being, and it will take at least half a year for his father to send troops to suppress him, and half a year is enough time for him to form an army of more than 100,000 troops, and the outcome will still be unknown at that time!

"What's going on out there?"

As soon as he explained the matter, he heard a burst of exclamations from outside, and immediately got up in a panic, afraid that Yu Zhiqian would send people to attack the city, he knew very well that most of them were temporarily recruited within half a year, most of the soldiers had never seen blood, and their combat effectiveness was low, relying on them to defend the city, Yu Tai himself was not at ease, and now the only way is to drag it until his reinforcements arrive.

"Your Highness, it's not a good thing, just now a few monsters that can fly into the air flew out of the prince's army, and there are people on it, and they are flying towards the city!"

Wei Yan pushed the door in, Yu Tai frowned when he saw it, and felt that things were going to be worse: "Let's go, go out and have a look!" ”

Standing on the city wall again, Yu Tai looked at the hot air balloon flying in mid-air, and was also stunned, he had never seen this thing, he knew the steam engine in Chang'an City, but the hot air balloon was the first time he had seen it, but thinking that his eldest brother seemed to like to study some strange things, he said loudly: "This is witchcraft, the prince is already a monster, release arrows and arrows, shoot these things down!" ”

Hearing Yu Tai's words, the panicked crowd below reacted, and this time without any hesitation, they drew their bows and arrows one after another, aiming at the hot air balloon in the air.

However, the hot air balloon had already risen into the air and opened up the distance, and it was not directly hit, and the bow and arrow began to fall below the hot air balloon, and it could not be shot at all.

"Go on, work harder, haven't you eaten, knock that monster down and reward 100 gold!"

Yu Tai shouted again for a big victory, and when he heard that there was a reward, many soldiers riveted their strength and aimed at the hot air balloon in the air, but because the distance was too high, they couldn't hit it at all, and they could only watch the hot air balloon fly into the city.

"Something has fallen!"

At this time, a soldier with good eyes noticed that something had fallen from the hot air balloon, and immediately shouted loudly, and soon the hot air balloon continued to have papers falling from the sky and spilling into Yidu City.

"Send someone to pick it up and see what it is!"

"Whoa!"

Soon soldiers entered the city and picked up the papers that had fallen on the ground, and many leaflets fell on the towers and were picked up by many soldiers.

"What is written on this, the third child?"

"Yes, you know the third child, tell us what is written on it?"

"I'll take a look, it says, the second prince Yu Tai, plotting to rebel......"

Just read a few words, the rest of the soldiers' faces changed greatly, just now when Yu Zhiqian and the second child were talking about the cannon, many soldiers didn't understand what they were talking about at all, there was no way, it should be a remote place, and the words they said were very different from the official dialect of Chang'an, so these soldiers couldn't understand what Yu Zhiqian said at all.

But now it's different, this guy called Zhou Laosan knows a word, and after reading it in Yidu's words, it immediately caused an uproar.

The second prince they worked for was actually a thief!
