As soon as the time arrived, the square was already full of murderous spirit, Qin Zhong passed down the military order, and the three thousand soldiers of the Xuanwu Battalion were already ready.

The ladder transferred from the arsenal has been sent to the front, led by the heavily armored shield soldiers, whose task is to advance the ladder to the bottom of the city, while the archers are behind the shield soldiers, and once the attack is launched, the archers act as cover to suppress the archers at the head of the city, so that the soldiers and horses can advance under the city walls.

As for the few cavalry, they were in the rear, this was a siege battle, the cavalry could not charge the city wall, only after the city gate was breached, the cavalry rushed into the city to sweep the enemy.

In fact, the soldiers and horses under the city also knew in their hearts that the Yulin battalion defending the city was too weak, guarding four gates, and the defenders of each gate were only a few hundred, no matter how sharp their counterattack was, it was impossible to withstand the attack of ten times the opponent, and it was only a matter of time before they captured the imperial city.

The Xuanwu battalion is stationed near the capital all the year round, and there are few opportunities to make meritorious contributions, and the soldiers attach great importance to meritorious service, if there is no meritorious service, even if they are promoted, they are not convinced, so compared to the soldiers who fought on the front line, there are not many opportunities for the soldiers and horses near Gyeonggi to be promoted.

This time Qi Ning rebelled and led the Yulin Battalion to rebel, which is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Xuanwu Battalion to make meritorious contributions, and the Xuanwu Battalion knows from top to bottom that after breaking through the imperial city and eliminating Qi Ning, it will inevitably usher in a round of rewards.

Although they waited under the city for a day, the morale of the soldiers was still very strong, and after Qin Chong gave an order, thousands of soldiers were suddenly like wolves and tigers, just waiting for the time to come and immediately launch an offensive.

The war is imminent, and those officials of the DPRK and China have been blocked at the rear and cannot go any further.

Although Lu Xiaochao's Tiger God Battalion could not serve as a vanguard, it was also ready to fight, just waiting for the Xuanwu Battalion to attack the city after it was frustrated, and then stepped forward to help.

When Qi Ning ascended to the top of the city, it was only a stick of incense from the hour, and the soldiers of the Yulin battalion at the head of the city saw that the soldiers and horses under the city were ready to attack the city, and they were all ready to fight.

"Guogong, I don't know .....?" Yu Beigu saw Qi Ning coming to the city, and hurriedly asked, but before he could say it, Qi Ning had already smiled faintly: "Captain Yu, according to my previous instructions, when the time comes, I will go out of the city, no matter what happens, I will take it alone, and I will not affect the soldiers." He took out the sword order on his body and handed it to Yu Beigu, Yu Beigu was stunned, not knowing what Qi Ning meant, Qi Ning smiled and said: "This is the sword order left by the first emperor, and you also have the edict left by the first emperor, when they enter the city, you rely on these two things, it can be said that it is because these two things are in my hands, you have to obey the orders of the first emperor to obey my orders, and Xiao Shaozong will not dare to kill the Yulin camp at that time." ”

Yu Beigu was shocked and said, "Guogong, you ..... What do you do here? Since the first emperor has an edict, thousands of troops and horses are coming, and the Yulin camp is bound to live and die with the prince. ”

"The enemy is too numerous, and in the end, the Yulin Battalion will not be able to resist after all, and it will involve so many loyal and brave people." Qi Ning shook his head, looked up at the sky, groaned slightly, and then said: "This time, you and He Qing will be involved, if Xiao Shaozong does not convict you, you will resign from your official positions and stay away from the capital." ”

Yu Beigu said solemnly: "Guogong, forgive me for being humble and courageous, dare to ask, is Xiao Shaozong rebellious?" ”

Qi Ning was stunned, and Yu Beigu said: "If Xiao Shaozong is not rebellious, then Guogong is suspected of disturbing the country, and the first person to be killed by Yulin Camp is Guogong." If Guogong is innocent, then Xiao Shaozong is a rebel, knowing that Xiao Shaozong is a rebel, even if the Yulin Battalion is weak, it will fight to the end. He looked down at the city, the black soldiers and horses were like ants, Yu Beigu sneered: "Maybe they can break through the imperial city after all, but if they follow the rebellious siege, even if the city is broken, the Yulin camp will make them pay a heavy price." ”

Qi Ning frowned and said, "Why bother? ”

"The duty of the Yulin Battalion is to guard the Imperial City." Yu Beigu said solemnly: "If any rebel wants to step into the imperial city, he must step on the bones of the soldiers of the Yulin Battalion, otherwise..... No way! ”

With a sound of "choking", he pulled out his saber, raised his war sword, and said sharply: "Those who are one step closer to the imperial city will be killed!" ”

The soldiers of Yulin had already unsheathed their big swords, raised their swords one after another, and shouted in unison: "Those who are close to the imperial city will be killed!" For a while, the sound spread, and although the number of people was only a few hundred, it was like thunder.

The soldiers under the city were a little surprised when they heard the sudden thunder at the head of the city, Qin Chong rode in front, saw the strong momentum of the city, sneered, and raised his sword: "Kill the rebel, just today, the Xuanwu camp is out, invincible!" ”

The soldiers of the Xuanwu battalion all raised their spears and said in unison: "Xuanwu battalion out, invincible, Xuanwu battalion, invincible!" After all, there were many people, and the sound quickly suppressed the sound of the Yulin camp at the head of the city, and the imperial city was suddenly filled with a terrifying murderous aura.

Seeing this, the ministers who were far behind the Tiger God Camp knew that the big battle was imminent, and many people couldn't help but retreat, but Yuan Laoshangshu of the Ministry of Rites went forward instead and said loudly: "I want to talk to Qi Ning and get out of the way!" But the road to the front has already been blocked by the Tiger God Battalion, and the sound is like a tide, Lao Shangshu's voice is not heard by few people at all, Lao Shangshu is very anxious, and wants to squeeze forward, but the soldiers of the Tiger God Battalion block a wall with their shields, and they can't penetrate it at all, Yuan Moxian hurriedly said: "Father, the front is dangerous, and you can't go any further." ”

As the sound of the Xuanwu battalion gradually lowered, the drums suddenly sounded, and the war drums of "dong dong dong" sounded rhythmically in front of the team.

Xiao Shaozong was mounted and stood in the military formation, just looking at Qi Ning at the head of the city, but he didn't have the intention of stepping forward to ask Qi Ning for evidence, and suddenly pulled out a saber from his waist, raised his war knife and shouted: "The first warrior to attack the imperial city will have a reward of 1,000 taels, and he will be promoted to three levels in a row!" ”

Xiao Shaozong's words suddenly made the atmosphere rise to the extreme, and a thunderous shout sounded in the square, and Qin Chong in front finally pointed his sword forward, and said in a deep voice: "Siege!" ”

Amid the rumbling drums of war, the shield soldiers who had been prepared for a long time began to approach the imperial city under the cover of the cloud ladder, and the archers behind maintained a neat formation, and slowly advanced with the shield soldiers.

Qi Ning looked at the military formation that had begun to slowly press towards the imperial city, clenched his hands into fists, glanced at Yu Beigu, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I will fight with you to the end." He said in a loud voice: "Archers prepare!" ”

The Yulin battalion at the head of the city was full of good marksmen, and they had already bent their bows and arrows, and the arrows were aimed at the advancing military formation.

The drums rumbled, the horns sounded, and the other gates of the imperial city also faintly heard the sound of drums, obviously they all knew the time of the siege, hearing the sound of drums from here, the soldiers and horses of the four gates had begun to attack the imperial city.

The whole army of the Yulin battalion advanced, but the Tiger God Battalion in the rear was waiting for it, Lu Xiaochao stood in front of the formation on horseback, holding a big knife in his hand, and a pair of eyes stared coldly ahead, and a few steps away in front of him was Xiao Shaozong.

Qi Ning also asked for a pair of bows and arrows in his hand, seeing the enemy approaching step by step, a sneer appeared on the corner of Qi Ning's lips, bent the bow and arrows, and did not hesitate, the arrow went to the meteor, "poof", a shield soldier in the middle, the shield soldier fell to the ground in response, and the shield soldiers next to him were shocked.

The shield soldier uses a shield to cover his body, that is, to guard against the arrows at the head of the city, even if he occasionally leaks out of a part of his body, but it is fleeting, but Qi Ning's arrow is just right to shoot at that moment, although his archery skills are clever, that eyesight is really terrifying.

The shield soldiers on the side were not only surprised, but also covered their bodies, and Qi Ning shot the first arrow, and the archers at the head of the city no longer hesitated, and the arrows rained down.

The archers behind the shield soldiers immediately released their arrows, and a round of arrows flew to the city like locusts, which was to suppress the archers at the head of the city.

The siege battle has finally begun.

Yuan Laoshangshu in the rear saw that the two sides had already handed over, and he was heartbroken, and shouted: "Don't fight, don't fight!" "But who cares at the moment.

Although the arrows at the head of the city were far from being able to reach the rear, many ministers retreated one after another for fear of harming the pond fish, and Yuan Moxian and another official forcibly pulled Yuan Laoshangshu backwards.

The shield soldiers in front of them, under the cover of the archers, continued to advance, and they were getting closer and closer to the city wall.

Qi Ning shot several arrows in a row, and the arrows took his life, and he turned his head to see that the dawn had appeared in the east, and the twelve hours agreed with Xiao Shaozong had indeed arrived.

Dozens of ministers in the rear were in a mess and retreated, and at this time, they saw a group of cavalry on the street, not many in number, and not armored, but the momentum was amazing, many ministers were at a loss, thinking that this was the soldiers and horses that came from again, and suddenly heard someone say: "Yes..... It is ..... people of Kyoto Prefecture! ”

The horses came on horseback from the Kyoto Prefecture officers, and a dozen of them were menacing, but behind the cavalry, they were followed by a large group of Kyoto Prefecture officers armed with quick knives.

Kyoto Prefecture is in charge of the security of the capital, and the capital of Nuoda needs Kyoto Prefecture to maintain order, so Kyoto Prefecture also has hundreds of servants.

Dou Kui saw it from a distance, changed color slightly, and said in surprise: "What is Tie Zheng going to do?" ”

The Kyoto Prefecture officials rushed to the nearest place, and all the officials dodged the road one after another, lest they be affected, but at this moment, they heard someone exclaiming, "Shenhou Mansion...... That's the people of the Shenhou Mansion! ”

Behind the officials of Kyoto Prefecture, hundreds of officials of the Shenhou Mansion wearing hats and holding big swords are rushing over, the people of the Shenhou Mansion are well-trained, and they are more neat and orderly than the people of Kyoto Prefecture.
