It was only a matter of time before Zheng Guo's army attacked the city, but he didn't expect it to come so suddenly.

In less than a stick of incense, the news had spread in the imperial city, and it was not hesitant to explode.

After the Zheng army broke through the city, the first thing was to cut them, even if they took the initiative to surrender and offer their property, they couldn't get rid of the end of being looted.

The most likely thing is that, just like the royal family, all of them will be wiped out!

Because, in a war to destroy the country, the most important thing is to get rid of the big forces with status and prevent the rebellion in the future, and it is absolutely impossible for the nobles, especially the family lords, to stay.

As for leaving these family gate valves, it is even more impossible, the family gate valve is the thorn in the side of the royal family, and no country is full of food to find a few more thorns in the side of itself.

The whole imperial city almost fell into a kind of chaos, the common people were panicked, and tried every means to hide the food and money, and the women who were a little beautiful in the family even scratched their faces, or smeared pot ashes, and tried to make them as ugly as possible.

Although they knew that once the city was broken, they would most likely be captured and sold as slaves, but as long as there was the slightest hope of escape, no one was willing to give up.

Shen Zifu, the emperor of the Shen State, led a group of civil and military generals to climb the city tower and look at the Zheng army that was being mobilized from a distance.

Everyone had a doubt in their hearts, Zheng Guo's previous tactic was to besiege but not attack, try to consume the strength of Shencheng, and destroy the country in one fell swoop with full certainty.

Originally, there were still a few days before Shen Guo was at the end of the road, wouldn't Zheng Jun's sudden change of strategy be wasted?

"Your Majesty! Good news! Excellent news! At this time, Geng Gui, the general in armor, hurried up to the city tower.

"General, what's the good news?!" Shen Zifu's eyes lit up, at this critical moment, it is definitely a leading thing to be excited to be called good news.

The officials and generals also looked at Geng Gui in surprise, but saw that the latter was focused on his head.

The armor-clad general panted and said, "The minister felt that the situation was different, so he sent a team of people to touch the city wall, and happened to capture a centurion and learned the news - there is something wrong with Anluo City!" ”

Is Anluo City different?

All the officials and soldiers showed puzzlement, Anluo City had fallen ten days ago, and it was already the enemy's backup ground, how could something unusual suddenly happen?

Moreover, this anomaly also caused the Zheng army to suddenly change its strategy and hurriedly launch a siege battle.

"Your Majesty, could it be the ...... of Cangguo" Right Prime Minister Shen Yu's eyes lit up, and he stood up and reminded.

"Cangguo ......" Shen Zifu muttered, and then he was shocked, and also thought of a possibility, Anluo City is close to the bandit mountain range, if the Cangguo army suppresses the bandits, it is normal to appear in Anluo City.

"Really?" Immediately someone asked.

Looking at the other officials and generals, they also snorted heavily, and their faces were full of surprise.

"It's true!" Geng Gui nodded and said: "This matter has spread in the Zheng army's camp, it is said that Anluo City is unstable, and the enemy army has to temporarily change its strategy and attack my Shen City!" ”

Hearing Geng Gui's confirmation, Emperor Shen and a number of officials and generals were overjoyed.

Cangguo reinforcements!

With the cooperation of the Cangguo reinforcements, the Zheng army will be attacked before and after, and the battle situation will change dramatically!

"I just don't know when the Cangjun army will arrive." A general muttered with a worried face.

This whining sentence immediately touched the nerves of Shen Guojun's ministers.

That's right, the enemy army is attacking the city at hand, when will the Cangguo army arrive?

"This ......" Geng Gui hesitated for a moment and said, "As far as I know, the news that something unusual happened in Anluo City appeared from the Zheng army this morning, if it is determined that Anluo City is the Cangguo army, they are likely to arrive in ...... yesterday."

"Arrived in ...... yesterday" The expression on Shen Zifu's face became solemn, and the rest of the officials and generals also looked at each other.

Judging from the current situation, the Zheng army will definitely attack the city tomorrow at the latest, and as soon as the Cang army arrives in Anluo City, it must defeat the garrison of Anluo City, plus the time to hurry...... At least three or five days, right?

Three to five days...... This is a desperate number, the Imperial City of Shenguo is the same as the Imperial City of Cangguo, because it is not a city directly bordering the territory, so the city wall is not as tall and steep as Pingxiang City, with less than 10,000 soldiers in the city, can it be held for three or five days?

It's not that I didn't think about conscripting the people in the city as peasant soldiers, but because of the lack of weapons, what is the use of a group of unarmed people?

"Can you find a way to take it? For example, to mobilize the forces of the other four cities......" one of the generals said with some bitterness.

The generals were silent when they heard this, and after half a ring, Emperor Shen Zifu sighed slightly and said: "The city has been besieged for so long, we have completely cut off the news from the outside world, and the edict can't leave the city at all, and everyone also knows that there are not many troops outside the imperial city, and they may have been exhausted......"

Hearing this, the officials and generals were silent.

At the end of the road......

But overall, the news is much better than nothing, at least there is a glimmer of hope in everyone's hearts.

"Woo......"

After a while, a dull sound of bull's horn pierced through the layers of space and arrived at Shencheng.

Are you going to attack the city......

Shen Guojun's face was heavy, and he found that in the Zheng army camp opposite, a group of soldiers were gathering rapidly, and the chariots were neatly placed, and in front of them was a row of ladders for siege.

Zheng Jun made a big move, the military formation was huge, the momentum was rolling, and the slogans were shouted loudly.

Emperor Wei Zifu of the Shen Kingdom stood on the city wall and looked out, and he was also a little dazed at this moment.

Perhaps, today is the last battle of the Shen Kingdom?

No, I am the Emperor of Dashen, shouldering the century-old foundation of my ancestors...... As long as there is a breath left, never give up!

With a look of determination in his eyes, Emperor Shen Zifu waved his hand violently: "Beat the war drums!" Let Zheng Jun outside the city take a look, I am a great regent, and I am not afraid to fight! ”

"Yes!" The soldiers on the walls shouted in response.

"Knock Knock ——!"

"Knock Knock ——!"

On the walls of the Imperial City of Shenguo, there were bursts of war drums, and the soldiers defending the city quickly assembled.

In the distance, more than 20,000 troops under the command of Zheng Han, the second prince of Zheng Guo, were neatly lined up, and the first round of troops used for the siege of the city, a full eight large phalanxes, totaling more than 6,000 people, were already ready.

It stands to reason that in the face of nearly 10,000 defenders in Shencheng, more than 20,000 troops do not have any advantage in the siege battle.

However, defending the city requires food, grass and equipment, and without enough rolling stones and arrows, no matter how majestic the city is, the effect will be halved!

Zheng Han, the second prince of Zheng Guo, stood on the chariot, dressed in armor and holding a broadsword in his hand, looking at the city he had been thinking about from a distance, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"Pass my orders! Besiege! ”

"Whew-"

"Knock-"

"Knock-"

After eight days, the main forces of the two sides finally went from confrontation to decisive battle!
