Chapter 350: Suspicion

"Driving ......"

On the official road of Sanshui City, there were two more figures, and in the light of the rising sun, the two of them swaggered out of the Xiao Mansion, although they did not solve too many doubts, but Liu Fa was relieved.

Water can only come naturally, some things, urgent, can't be rushed, he knows this truth, but Shaowu Hengyong doesn't necessarily know it.

Those who ascend will be inferior, those who go far will be far away, some things need to be taken step by step, step by step, on his head, carrying a charge of killing the king and killing his father, such a crime, is bound to bear a lifetime.

Outside the imperial capital, in front of the two armies, Yue Hu, the general of the Xiaowu Army, was hit by an arrow in the neck, and was seriously injured, and he is still unconscious, but Shaowu Hengyong did not stop the siege.

One more day, no, half a day, maybe in the next hour, he will be able to enter the imperial capital, Shaowu Hengyong's eyes were full of bloodshots, and he was already stunned.

Many days passed, and there was no progress in the siege battle, so Shaowu Hengyong reluctantly transferred back the first team to attack the city, and at the same time sent the second team to continue the siege. This time, the number of siege troops is also increasing, and the number of dead soldiers is also increasing.

Every day's battle is more tragic than the previous day, the strong attack of the Xiaowu army is sharper and more ferocious, and the scale of the Xiaowu army's arrow array is also larger and stronger.

During the battle, the Xiaowu army broke through the defense line of the new army several times, and a large number of troops poured onto the city wall, but in the end, they were recaptured by the crazy counterattack of the Great Xia Forbidden Army. By the time the day reached evening, the casualties on both sides were extremely heavy, even Long Zecheng couldn't remember how many times he had returned to the city wall to rest, his injuries were still very serious, but now he could walk simply.

However, at this time, the forbidden army on the city wall is also becoming less and less, and there are countless soldiers of the Xiaowu Army who died under the bow and arrow. In the case of only such a lone army, the imperial capital is still so difficult to fight, and the strong attack of his own army has made no progress for a day, but has lost countless soldiers, which makes Shaowu Hengyong feel incredible, and even doubts whether his own intelligence is wrong, and the Great Xia Forbidden Army does not have such a small number of troops at all.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the siege became more and more difficult, and in the end, Shaowu Hengyong could only reluctantly order the whole army to retreat and temporarily stop the siege. The all-day fierce battle finally came to an end with the active retreat of the Xiaowu army, which made the soldiers on both sides sigh.

This battle was extremely difficult for the Great Xia Forbidden Army, and it was even more difficult for the Xiaowu Army, the city defense of the imperial capital was far inferior to the Baguan, but the fighting spirit and tenacity shown by the Great Xia Forbidden Army made people respect, hate and fear.

To say that the Xiaowu army is not strong, after all, they are one of the four towns of the imperial capital, needless to mention powerful, especially when there is Yue Hu, it is a division of tigers and wolves, but after all, the imperial capital is not as good as the incense burning platform, as the capital of a country, if it is so easy to be breached, just ask, which emperor dares to live in it.

First of all, the strong attack of Shaowu Hengyong in the past few days, first of all, the condescending arrow shooting of the Great Xia Forbidden Army, due to the relationship between the terrain, the range and power of the arrow array of the Great Xia Forbidden Army have greatly increased, when the vanguard of the Xiaowu Army is still one hundred and fifty steps away from the imperial capital, the arrow array of the Great Xia Forbidden Army has fallen down with a split head and a face. The second is the stone throwing machine in the city, the stone bullets of the round ancient winter keep flying out of the city, smashing into the camp of the Xiaowu army, which can always attract a scream, this is not the end, after the stone bullet lands, it will roll down a long distance, and this road will kill and crush the Xiaowu army more.

Finally, there is the rolling wood and stone that fall down on the head of the city, because of the relationship of slope, the rolling wood and stone do not move after landing, but slowly roll down the hillside, rolling faster and faster, and turning into the camp of the Xiaowu army, which will attract bursts of wailing. The attacking Xiaowu army had not yet approached the city wall, and was killed and injured by the long-range weapons of the Great Xia Forbidden Army alone.

The soldiers advanced together, and the wounded and dead threw them down, leaving corpses all over the ground and wounded soldiers struggling for help wherever the Xiaowu army passed. If it was before, under such a ferocious counterattack by the Great Xia Forbidden Army, the Xiaowu Army might have been forced to retreat again, but now, there is a wind army behind them, and the soldiers of the Xiaowu Army do not want to be embarrassed in front of the wind army.

Next, the ladders were erected one after another, and the soldiers threw away their torches, picked up their weapons with one hand, and grabbed the ladder with the other, and climbed up with all their might. The Xiaowu army attacked fiercely, the Great Xia Forbidden Army counterattacked more fiercely, the arrows shot down were dense like raindrops, the rolling wood and the rocks were like snowflakes, the soldiers of the Xiaowu army who were besieging the city rushed up in a wave, and they were beaten down in a wave, and the battle between the two sides had not yet reached an hour, and the corpses of the Xiaowu army under the city wall had been stacked and piled up high.

Where is this a storm, it is more like a suicidal attack like a moth to a fire, this is simply a one-sided slaughter. Under the high-intensity counterattack of the Great Xia Forbidden Army, the morale of the siege soldiers of the Xiaowu Army began to gradually collapse, and more and more Xiaowu troops crowded under the city wall, but there were fewer and fewer soldiers who dared to climb the ladder and charge upward.

Shaowu Hengyong is unwilling, he is really unwilling, facing the throne that can be seen at hand, but he can't sit on it, this feeling, he really can't stand it, so many years of forbearance, so many years of hard work, in order to sit on that throne, but now that throne is so close to him, he can't sit in it, which makes him very unwilling, very unwilling.

"Has the news gotten out, it's time too!"

The summer is scorching, in this imperial capital city, all the soldiers are sweating, across a city wall, like a ghost gate, before the ghost gate, dead bodies are everywhere, after the ghost gate, it is a piece of heaven and earth, in a mansion in the imperial capital, there is still incense, the smoke screen is pervasive, few people know who is sitting in the smoke screen, but he can really affect the emperor, and even decide the fate of the emperor.

Imperial City!

"Have you heard, those four brothers of the Long family ......?"

"Don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about state affairs!"

I don't know when it started, and I don't know who it started, there was panic in the imperial capital, and there were many discussions, the Long family seemed to have become the biggest news in the imperial capital, and after tea and dinner, the gossip of the Long family was always indispensable.

The country can't be without a king for a day, not only Long Zecheng thinks so, but all the ministers also think so, so in the imperial capital, there is such a child of a few years old, he has gone from a prince to a nominal prison country!

The other man walked down the city at this time.

In the cold tent, a pot of turbid wine, a few side dishes, the lonely Long Zecheng was silently pouring himself a drink, he was very bad, but he still wanted to drink, wanted to drink the whole night.

There is a huge pathos hidden in that face, so that this heroic man who stands up to the sky and the earth can't help but have a kind of heroic twilight atmosphere, and the handsome and majestic face suddenly adds a little desolation and tragedy, and reduces a little bit of hard work and heroism, and the young Long Zecheng is like twenty years old!

Suddenly, a tall figure rushed into the tent with a gust of wind. The flames trembled with the wind, and the light in the tent flickered and dimmed. Long Zecheng, who bowed his head and drank alone, did not look up, from the familiar footsteps of the comer, Long Zecheng already knew who the comer was.

Long Zecheng smiled slightly and said, "Second brother, come, accompany me for a few drinks!" ”

Hearing his eldest brother's words, Long Zexu sighed slightly, sat down opposite Long Zecheng wordlessly, stroked the long beard under his forehead, and said calmly: "Did the eldest brother give up like this?" ”

Long Zecheng's right hand holding the bronze wine lord trembled suddenly, and a touch of wine immediately dripped down and splashed a string of scattered pearls on the table. Long Zecheng, who has always been as steady as a rock and does not be shocked by thunder and lightning, is now unable to hold even a glass of wine, and the huge difference between this before and after is not sad to the world!

"What if you don't give up?" Long Zecheng laughed bitterly at himself: "I have now been relieved of my military power, and the military of the imperial capital is no longer under my control!" ”

"Big brother, you're not in good health, don't drink!"

Hearing Long Zecheng's words, Long Zexu was silent for a long time, and finally snatched Long Zecheng's wine jug, his eyes full of grief and complexity.

"Second brother, the imperial capital is about to be broken, this group of scum, these pedantic and ridiculous Confucian students, they are finally going to welcome Shaowu Hengyong, a disloyal and unfilial person, into it, Daxia, it's over!"

Long Zecheng was weeping in pain, and he fell asleep unconsciously in pain, he was not drunk, but heartbroken.

If there is no military power, it is like a lonely person, a military general who is hated by Wenchen is even more difficult to survive in the imperial capital, and when a trumped-up charge is added to Long Zecheng, the Long family has been abandoned, and Daxia has also given up treatment.

If Long Zecheng is strong enough, it will be fine, but only now that public opinion has not disappeared, and his father is now unknown in life and death, even if he follows the Son of Heaven to cut himself, how many people know?

At this moment, it is really yellow mud falling into the crotch of his pants, not, better than, even though Long Zecheng knows that the public opinion in this imperial capital is someone making trouble, but he can't justify it, everything is too pale in front of moral public opinion.

He had no choice but to go home to recuperate from his injuries, and there was no one to command the forbidden army in a city, and as for the other three brothers of the Long family, they were also hollowed out and had no power at all, just like an ordinary soldier.

Shaowu Hengyong is not dizzy after all, although he is anxious, he has never forgotten the persuasion in the city, when he heard the public opinion, he smiled happily, what he wanted, this is the result.

He frankly admitted that Long Teng was in his army, and just such a sentence caused an uproar in the imperial capital, but few people knew that in fact, Long Teng had already burned incense by himself.

Without Long Zecheng's interference, Shaowu Hengyong was much more relaxed, he was waiting, he was still waiting, because the final blow was coming soon.

The other horses in the four towns of the imperial capital have approached the imperial capital one after another, and they are about to become the ministers of the dragon who Shaowu Hengyong captured the imperial capital, thinking that the things he dreamed of were about to be obtained, the excitement in Shaowu Hengyong's heart can be imagined.

In the imperial capital, the undercurrent is surging, and the letter from Shaowu Hengan to Liu Jian and the others has been received, but how to do it is a problem that has to be solved.

Under his orders, the Xiaowu army continued to attack the city in a big way. The Xiaowu army is still unreservedly dispatched by the whole army, and the siege is still divided into several batches, and the siege force of the first team has 20,000 as soon as it comes out. At this time, there were less than 30,000 soldiers left in the imperial capital, and looking at the enemy army advancing in the crowd, people felt their scalps tingle, and they couldn't even see the end or hope of this war. The enemy army has too many troops, and its own tens of thousands of casualties are already broken, and even if the enemy army is killed and wounded by tens of thousands, it seems that the strength of the army has not been reduced much.

When the enemy army had entered the firing range, the soldiers of the Great Xia Forbidden Army could only fight hard, and the arrow array was shot from the head of the city and flew into the camp of the Xiaowu army, and the battle between the two sides began again.

This time, as soon as the Xiaowu army came up, it invested 20,000 troops, and the attack was very strong, and the Great Xia Forbidden Army used all the weapons that could be moved, such as stone throwers, city-breaking crossbows, army-breaking crossbows, etc., everything that could kill and injure the enemy army, and kept firing into the enemy crowd.

Under the almost frantic attack of the Great Xia Forbidden Army, the Xiaowu Army suffered heavy casualties, and the people simply stepped out of a bloody road, killed under the imperial capital, and began to attack the city.

This time, the Xiaowu army also used the old capital, cloud cars, towers, thunderbolt cars and even the rushing cars that hit the city wall were used. The battle between the two sides has entered a white-hot level from the beginning. The Xiaowu army on the tower was almost at the same height as the Great Xia forbidden army at the head of the city, and neither side had a condescending advantage, so they launched a flat shot. This was a great threat to the Great Xia Forbidden Army, but the Great Xia Forbidden Army reacted quickly and immediately thought of using rockets to deal with it.

In the blink of an eye, the tower, which was attacked by the concentrated rocket attack, was full of burning arrows, and the Xiaowu army on the tower didn't know which side to put out the fire if they wanted to. The Xiaowu army pushing the tower below simply pushed the burning tower directly to the city wall, so that the Xiaowu army on the tower jumped directly onto the city wall and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Great Xia Forbidden Army. Seeing the enemy's tower rushing straight towards him, the halberd of the Great Xia Forbidden Army immediately stepped forward and stabbed the enemy on the tower with his halberd.

They stabbed the enemy soldiers on the tower to death one by one, but they themselves also suffered from the arrows of the enemy soldiers, and many of the soldiers were unable to stab the second halberd after stabbing out the first halberd, and their bodies were full of carved feathers, and they fell to the ground weakly......

"Brothers, kill me!"

At the head of the city, two different voices said the same thing, one was dressed in snow-white armor, which was exceptionally bright in the sun, and the other was a pitch-black armor, the cold light hit people, the two of them were like black and white impermanence from the Netherworld, ruthlessly harvesting life, no one knew that just two people who fought side by side, they were enemies who did not share the sky!

But at this moment, no one pays attention to these, when 100,000 people are in a hurry, this Great Xia, this Imperial Capital, whether they can still hold it, no one knows!

Outside the imperial capital, Shaowu Hengyong has a big tent.

"Hmph, Lin Teng, this old fox, is really ......"

Shaowu Hengyong looked at the letters passed from the city, and sneered in his heart, Lin Teng's reply to him was verbose, but there was only one meaning, that is, he wanted to surrender, but also decent, and surrender without being ridiculed.

Yan Gongdao on the side raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and sighed slightly, Lin Teng is dying, others don't know Shaowu Hengyong's temper, will he still be unclear, Lin Teng's age is really alive to the belly of a dog.

Although Shaowu Hengyong was a little displeased, but now is not the time, and now that the imperial capital has not been broken, he can only rely on Lin Teng first, but he has already killed in his heart.

"Yan Gong, I don't know what Ling Lang is like!"

Leaving aside Lin Teng's letter, Shaowu Hengyong turned his head again, and smiled at Yan Gongdao, he hoped that Yan Gongdao would not disappoint him, in the past few days, he also deeply felt that relying on the Xiaowu army under his command was really a little weak, after all, the imperial capital city was tall and strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, he did not know the art of war, he did not understand the truth of attacking the city and grabbing the land, and ten times the siege, but he did not have so much time, so he did not want to give others too much time.

Hearing Shaowu Hengyong's words, Yan Gongdao's heart sank, and cold sweat immediately gathered on his forehead, as soon as he lifted his trouser leg, he was about to kneel, but was pulled by Shaowu Hengyong: "Yan Gong, if you have something, just say it, in private, you don't have to bow to Lonely, don't be too restrained!" ”

"Your Royal Highness Xie, the old man is ashamed, although the dog agreed, but there is nothing he can do, he has neither an official position nor a reputation, alas......"

Yan Gongdao glanced at Shaowu Hengyong gratefully, and stood up in fear, a little embarrassed.

Shaowu Hengyong nodded, silent, looking at Shaowu Hengyong without saying a word, Yan Gongdao's heart beat a drum, he really couldn't figure out the temper of the person in front of him, in fact, for more than 20 years, even Shaowu Hengyong's father didn't see it clearly, let alone him?

"Hehe, it's okay, wait for the other three-way army to continue, and Lone will enter the imperial capital and ascend the throne to announce the world!"

After a long time, Shaowu Hengyong finally smiled, he looked at the gate of the imperial capital in the distance, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, in fact, he couldn't wait to conquer the imperial capital immediately, and then establish his position, because now there is one thing that is imminent, so that he has to pay attention, that is, the brute horse.

Shaowu Hengyong is very dissatisfied with his father because he always thinks that Shaowuqing is not a good emperor, and if he does it himself, he will inevitably be 10,000 times stronger than him.

Look at the current Great Xia, falling apart, fighting everywhere, and correcting the original cause, that is, Shaowuqing did not make up his mind when he founded the country, but compromised and became the Son of Heaven for 20 years.

Thinking of this, Shaowu Hengyong had a headache, he shook his head, put these trivial matters behind, and then grinned again, looking at Yan Gong playfully: "I heard that Ling Lang has a very good relationship with the new science detective Hualang back then, yes or no?" ”
