At this time, the princess of Zhongshan had already met with her father, and the two families together also gathered two thousand brave men, after hearing her daughter's judgment and plan for Li Yang, the young and strong king did not raise any objections, it can be seen that this princess is often involved in decision-making on weekdays, and also has a strong right to speak.

This big tail of 2,000 people followed Li Yang far away for almost a day's journey, and it was difficult to be spotted in this situation of marching forward.
Li Yang marched forward all the way, and the shadow of Dujiang City had been revealed in front of him. The imaginary royal city is not so majestic, except for a few more tall towers than Nanshan City, it is no different, is it because of the frequent earthquakes in the island country? All the buildings here are made of very few bricks, and the walls are made of bare earth, which is really ugly and tight.
When he arrived at the city, Li Yang was not in a hurry, looking at the silent situation on the city wall, Li Yang did not understand the situation, and did not dare to act rashly, and the troops drove far away to the side and set up camp, preparing to make a decision after a routine tentative attack.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the enemy's royal city is in front of us, as long as we build this city, even if our foundation on Ryukyu Island is laid, the resources here are much richer than those of Miyakojima, and Miyakojima can concentrate on developing trade in the future. Whether all the plans can continue to be carried out depends on the next few days. In the flickering lights, Li Yang convened a military intelligence meeting overnight.
"Island owner, the enemy only escaped from the last battle, and it is impossible to organize a strong force in Dujiang City in such a short period of time, and everyone in the other cities is in danger, and it is too late for reinforcements to arrive in such a short time, I see that the city will be attacked as soon as possible, and it will change later." Wang Hu was a supporter of the radicals.
"That's right, you will be the king at that time, so you should make me a deputy marshal! Ha ha! Huang Bingxi began to admire Wang Hu's resourcefulness since he deduced the falling flowers and flowing water that was killed by Wang Hu in the sand table, although this is indeed not Wang Hu's strong point.
"All the generals are so anxious! You must know that we don't know anything about the city, why is the city so quiet today, with the fiery temperament of the other king, even if it doesn't work, he will definitely not be convinced. Wang Hu interjected lightly.
All the generals nodded in agreement.
"It's going to be troublesome this time, and there is no internal response in the city, so let's attack the city first tomorrow, and then make a decision." Seeing that there was no result for the long time after the discussion, Li Yang had to end the meeting hastily.
The next day's assault began as scheduled, and in a clear day, the artillery again played its role, and the roar of the cannon was a great ordeal for those who were not yet accustomed to the sound.
At this time in the palace, the new king Ulla was nervously clutching the corners of his clothes and muttered, "How can there be thunder on a sunny day?" The dull sound of rolling cannons outside the city did have a certain shock to him, who had not had much contact with the outside world.
At this time, the princess was also flustered, she was not a woman without assertiveness, after touching the king's heart with her beauty, she firmly controlled the inner courtyard of the palace, all the women who competed with her for favor eventually either obeyed her or disappeared forever, although she was already the mother of a six-year-old child, but it added to the charm of her young woman, unlike the slight darkness of the women here, her skin showed an ivory luster, looking at her still bumpy body, she sighed heavily, maybe, this is also a way.
Summoned the attendants, she still had a proud expression on her face, and ordered: "Give me a list in the city, gather warriors, whoever can repel the invading enemy, who can avenge the king, and defeat the Zhongshan Kingdom, I will marry him, and at the same time he will be the regent of my Ryukyu Nanshan Kingdom, and all rights are equal to the king." ”
The attendant went down with a look of shock on his face, he understood the meaning of this order, but the new king Ulla, who had just ascended to the throne, did not understand his mother's order at all, and still blocked his ears with his hands, and cursed his enemies loudly.
At this time, Li Yang was standing on a small man-made platform watching the effect of the artillery bombardment from a distance, the city head was sparsely populated, and the artillery was lively, but it was like playing the piano to a cow, and it did not arouse the slightest reaction of the other party, so that Li Yang wanted to send someone directly to the city to see if the other party would make a move.
A lot of farmland has been reclaimed around Dujiang City, which has also brought inconvenience to Li Yang to collect timber for the siege, today there have been two battalions of teams sent out to get wood, looking at Dujiang City's appearance of dying, Li Yang is ready to make a ladder and carry out a tentative landing of the city.
What kind of collision is about to happen between the three forces and the three mentalities......
There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, not to mention that the princess is committed to marrying, and the land of a country is given away, and soon someone will come to meet the princess's warrior covenant.
This man was also a well-known person in the city, but he was only a butcher who sold meat, but he was also powerful, and it happened that the original commander of the army was sent to prison because of the death of the king, and this butcher also made a name for himself in the city with his bravery, so he became a live horse doctor and was appointed as the new commander of the army.
The first thing the new commander of the army did when he took office was to face Li Yang's tentative battle to ascend the city.
Li Yang, who had made all kinds of improvised siege equipment, sent a column of soldiers carrying ten ladders to quickly approach Dujiang City, and a small moat no more than one meter wide was dug around Dujiang City, which was more like the prototype of an unfinished grand moat.
This moat may still have a certain hindrance effect on the siege equipment, and it is no problem for the soldiers, but it is just to bend down and put down the ladder, jump over it, and then pick up the ladder and continue to rush forward.
At this time, the butcher on the city wall also swallowed his saliva with sweaty palms, this was his first official battle, although there were countless pigs slaughtered, but killing people was the first time in the world, and tension was inevitable.
As the shouts of slaughter came in, Miyakojima's army gradually approached under the city walls, and the scattered arrows flying down from the city did not cause any trouble to the besieging team.
As the soldiers of the Miyakojima Army set up the ladder and climbed up, the big stones and basins of boiling water on the city poured down, countless soldiers screamed and fell down the ladder, and some climbed the city wall, the soldiers of the Ryukyu Nanshan Province cowered and had no intention of fighting, and the butcher general saw this situation, what else could he do, Shangbei.
I saw him roar, brandishing a thick-backed knife, and when he stepped forward, he slashed it with a fierce knife, and the Miyakojima soldier in front of him suddenly broke his bones and tendons, and fell down with a scream.
The butcher who found that killing people was nothing more than that became more and more ferocious, roared again and again, and cut down the two people one after another like a big bear, and the soldiers defending the city finally mustered up a little courage under his leadership, and the few Miyakojima soldiers who had climbed the city wall were quickly wiped out.
