Chapter 34: Impatience

Touch......

One after another huge crashing sound sounded, but the sealed broken city stone did not move at all. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"TNND, what stone is so hard." At this time, the Porcupine King was already scarred, all caused by the impact of the Broken City Stone.

The molten slurry rolled in, and everywhere it went, smoke billowed and red flames lit.

Looking at the arrowhogs, ruthlessly swallowed by molten pulp, the Porcupine King's heart has been twitching pain, and the other Arrowhog Pigs also began to concentrate on the city wall under the order of the Porcupine King.

Looking at the gradually coming molten lava, the Porcupine King organized the Arrowhog to shoot a volley of horned arrows into the ground to form layers of horned arrow walls, and at the same time let the elves of the Arrowhog who can roar and attack, line up in a row to use the roar to disperse the surging molten lava, although it is futile, but it can also buy more time for the Arrowhog digging the wall in the rear.

There are also residents who follow Tianyinke and Cao Zhuo to the direction of the imperial city, and the residents who are fleeing for their lives do not question why Cao Zhuo, who kills pigs and sells pork for a living on weekdays, puts on a set of armor today, and the current residents only think that they can survive in the imperial city, and nothing is more important than their own lives.

Cao Zhuo and the Heavenly Hermit had killed at least a hundred people along the way, all of them in twos and threes, but now the two of them were hiding among a large number of residents and rushed towards the imperial city.

However, the Sky Hermit didn't understand why Cao Zhuo wanted to wear such a set of armor? Rushing into the Imperial City in this way will be particularly eye-catching, and it will also be easy to become one of the targets of attack, or even fall into siege.

And Cao Zhuo explained with a smile: "Fools know that I usually wear a set of well-equipped equipment as a pig killer, and there must be a problem, but even if I am in danger, I will wear it knowing that I will die, I not only have to tell Xiliang Kingdom that someone in the Celestial Empire has already discovered their location, but I also believe that there will be other brocade guards who will sneak in here, and what I want is to use this armor to gather everyone, and if I miss this opportunity, then there will be no next time." ā€

Tianyinke immediately understood Cao Zhuo's mood, he couldn't do anything by waiting here, and there was no one to talk to, that loneliness was a boil.

Shouting and hugging a group of people to flee to the imperial city, there was no molten eruption near the imperial city, but the hermit felt very strange why, in the moat of the imperial city was emitting puffs of white smoke?

The corners of Cao Zhuo's mouth raised slightly, and he sneered and said, "Of course, we have to build a cold water river, otherwise the molten slurry will flow here, and it won't dissolve the entire imperial city?" ā€

The Heavenly Hermit shuddered, this was simply a long-planned plan, setting up such a mechanism to lure the enemy army into the city, block all the back roads, and then break out of the molten lava, but the imperial city has preventive measures to moat the cold river; What if the residents of the city had not been evacuated in time? Isn't that going to kill them all?

After thinking about it, the hermit was deeply afraid.

After approaching the Imperial City, the Heavenly Hermit found that many people had come to the outer moat of the Imperial City ahead of them, crying there, but the suspension bridge of the Imperial City had not been lowered.

After the hermit arrived at the moat, he found that the river had been flowing, and there was no sign of freezing, but the cold was extremely pressing, and some of them accidentally fell down in the crowding, and an amazing scene appeared, the person who fell down had not yet touched the river and had formed a thick layer of frost, and then there was no cry, it seemed to have been frozen.

"General, now open the city gate and put the drawbridge down to save tens of thousands of city citizens." A young general said excitedly beside Qu Zhou.

But Qu Zhou didn't react in the slightest.

The young general glanced at the man beside him, who immediately led more than a dozen people down the city wall and ran to the city gate to open it, but he did not want to be pierced in the chest by the cold shot of the guards of the city gate.

The guards of the city gate said loudly: "The city gate cannot be opened without the orders of the king and the general, and the violators will be killed on the spot." ā€

The more than ten people who were brought down looked at each other, but they also pulled out their matching knives and fought with the guards at the city gate, and soon more than a dozen people were not extinguished; And the standing army on the side of the guard couldn't help but be surprised when they saw this scene, the gate guard sergeant who he didn't look down on much in the past, since he could easily kill the guards of the standing army without injuring a single person under the same number of people, this is not the palace's Yulin army has such strength.

Qu Zhou glanced at the still kneeling general out of the corner of his eye, but didn't say anything.

When the young general heard the sound of the symphony of weapons under the city tower, his heart calmed down, and he even secretly rejoiced, but when the screaming stopped, he didn't hear the sound of the city gate opening, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

Obviously no one else intervened just now, why didn't Xiao Fang open the city gate yet.

"Don't be delusional, the Imperial Palace Council has already arranged for his trusted army to take over the opening of the city gates, and now no one can open the city gates unless I give the order." Qu Zhou couldn't bear to say after all, there are too few generals that can be used in Xiliang Country now, and those who have talent and ability have already been killed, and the rest are young generals, which is the hope of the new generation of Xiliang Kingdom, if he dies? Then it will be up to these people to support the military affairs of the Xiliang Kingdom.

Qu Zhou continued to speak: "For the sake of the rise and fall of the country, the king has to do this, and we as courtiers must also distinguish the importance of things. ā€

The prince general is a kneeling young general, he is the best of the new generation of generals, whether it is in training or actual combat drills are very good, so Qu Zhou kept him by his side in case of accidents.

"Could it be that you also support this approach, General?" The prince will grit his teeth, and say anxiously that the molten is already getting closer.

"The cultivation of grain in our country is already beyond our means, and sooner or later the whole country will starve to death if it continues like this, so it is better to give up some irrelevant people." Qu Zhou said helplessly.

The prince will say in a loud voice, "Is it because of this that you will give up a hundred thousand people?" If we don't have enough food, can't we think of other ways? We can let our army go out hunting for food for military training. ā€

"What if all the animals in the nearby mountains are hunted? After all, it's not a long-term solution. Qu Zhou said indifferently.

The prince will be unconvinced and say, "At least you can relieve the urgent need, can you think of a way?" ā€

"Many ministers died of illness, you have heard that they died for the sake of the country, but to put it bluntly, these capable ministers were killed because they knew about this matter and could not solve it, batch after batch of ministers were killed, what do you say can be done? If there is no disaster and the harvest is as usual, then the grain of the whole country can last for 50 years, and all this can be calculated to last for 50 years. Qu Zhou seemed to have aged a lot in a moment, and muttered in his mouth: "Fifty years...... Fifty years. ā€

Cao Zhuo was anxious in his heart, if he continued like this, the molten slurry would soon come over, so what should he do? Can I go back to the place where I was born and raised? But the Hanshui River in front of him is like a murderous invisible devil, as soon as you get close, you will feel the cold ice, and even people who have their own internal strength will be injured by the cold after standing in the Hanshui River for a long time.

Looking up, Cao Zhuo glanced at it, and the towering city wall was even more depressed in his heart; Why hasn't anyone else come out yet?
