Chapter 331: The Winner is King
Following.
As Roshi had reckoned, the Sakura Army had come to the foot of the main city of Lomedak. They did not rush to attack the city, but divided their troops into two routes, and firmly surrounded the west and south sides of Lomedak.
Under the command of Vandiko, the archers of the Sakura Army stepped forward and fired several rounds of arrows at Lomerdak. Lomedak's walls were strong and there were plenty of defensive points, and the rain of arrows did not pose a threat to them.
The mad dragon rode on his warhorse, swung his long knife, pointed diagonally at the tower of Lomedak, and said coldly: "Grandchildren, if you are a man, don't hide your head under and block arrows with your buttocks, come out and fight grandpa!"
After a long pause, there was no response from the castle tower.
The dragon said again: "Is there no one in Lomedak? Is it all a group of shrunken turtles? ha!"
The Sakura Army all laughed at the moment, but the laughter of a warrior unit behind Sugiko was particularly loud.
In order to cooperate with the fierce dragon's fierce tactics, Sugiko trained 500 warriors along the way. They are strong and strong, and their lung capacity is higher than that of ordinary people, and after special training and repeated practice of the cedar family, the laughter of these 500 people is loud, with irony between ups and downs, and between provocations and majesty, with tacit understanding, using the auditory effect brought by the chorus to make the laughter more majestic, as if this laughter is like the laughter of thousands of people.
Lomedak reacted, but instead of going out of the city to fight, he still strengthened the defense even more, and countless large shields were immediately erected on the city tower.
Seeing this, the dragon scolded loudly again.
Vandiko glanced around and ordered, "Siege!"
The first and second armies of Ai Yingyan had a total of 5,000 soldiers, and at this moment they firmly surrounded Lomedak. The 1,000 heavy cavalry of the Second Army, which had surrendered at the Battle of Amagi, stood far behind the main army, and if the Lomedak army did go out of the city, they would immediately let them try the taste of being charged.
In addition, behind the fighters, there were rows of shooters. Every few shooters, there will be a mage ready to go. In addition to this, several high platforms were erected between the besieging army and the heavy cavalry, and on the platforms were the sorcerers of Vandiko.
The thieves patrolled the outskirts of the army to prevent the enemy from going around the rear. In fact, this is just a very hypothetical approach, after all, the current Lomedak can't even fly out. All the forces of Lomydak have been gathered in the main city, and what forces from other towns dare to appear from behind the Sakura army?
Sugiko pulled the reins of the horse with both hands, and the horse took a few bumpy steps forward. He raised his head and said loudly: "Did that rain of arrows just now scare you? Do you think you will be fine if you hide? No matter how strong your walls are, although they can resist bows and arrows, they don't know if they can withstand the bombardment of magic!"
Vandiko appeared from behind Shanke and whispered, "The dragon is scolding a lot, talk to him, pay attention to your tone, don't really scold them." ”
Sugina nodded, but said with some reluctance: "Actually, I want them to come out and do it happily!" He turned his head and looked at the wild dragon dancing in the distance, and said, "The old madman thinks the same way!"
Vandiko was just as calm at all times, and he whispered, "War is enjoyable for you, but it's only meant to be politically helpless. The lord of the city does not want his brothers to die in vain, nor does he want the Lomedak army to suffer heavy losses, so we will stabilize this place and wait for General Chaks to arrive and act at the opportune moment. ”
Shanko glanced upstairs in Lomedak, said, "Listen to you, staff!" and rode towards the dragon.
Vandiko looked up again, glanced at it a few times, and suddenly waved an officer.
"Inform the captains of the archers that they should pay attention to the castle tower, prevent the enemy from placing cold arrows in the gap between their shields, and be ready to interrupt the enemy's attack at any time. ”
Upstairs in Lomedak, two soldiers hid behind large shields, their faces full of unhappiness.
One of the soldiers, who looked quite young, had already complained a lot, and now that the city was under siege and there was another fire, he said to the older soldier beside him, "Damn!
The older soldier's face was calm, and he said, "This is Lord Loshi's order, and his order will not be wrong. ”
"But......" The young soldier suddenly lost his words, Loshi was their supreme commander, and their treatment of Loshi's orders was not a simple obedience, but a cumulative trust and admiration.
The young soldier was a young soldier, and his admiration for Roshi was far less than that of the veteran, and he stretched out his finger and pointed between the two shields, and said, "They are only 8,000 men, but we have 18,000 men! Why don't you go out and beat them back?" I can't figure out what Lord Roshi means, but if you look at their majestic appearance, I really want to ......."
Sou!
The young soldier's whole body was shocked, and the words in his mouth suddenly choked, and he slowly turned his head and withdrew his hand, but the outstretched finger was gone.
Oh my god!
......
In the palace of Lomedak, hundreds of ministers had gathered at this moment, and the soldiers were approaching the city, and the faces of everyone no longer had the majesty of the past, but a kind of anxiety and fear.
Under Xiao Qinglian's call, everyone drank a glass of gallant wine, and Luo Xi and Zhao Yan were no exception.
After drinking, the order in the palace was far less serious and quiet than before. Of course, this is not the reason for the wine, how much alcohol can be consumed in a glass of wine? It's just that everyone is in a state of confusion, some are worried about the country, and some are worried about their own small family.
Of course, a person's worries may be held back. But a group of people are worried, so they can't help but complain.
Xiao Qinglian was fed up with this kind of complaint, and after drinking angrily a few times, it still had no effect. In the end, he had to be furious to bring the situation under control and restore a little bit of the king's majesty.
Xiao Qinglian was angry, and many ministers came back to their senses. Now the man sitting on the stage is not a prince, but a king.
It's just that the majesty of this king is still a little short.
Xiao Qinglian turned her head, went towards Luo Hope, and shouted: "Lord Luo Xi, why don't you send troops, our troops are twice as many as them, are you still afraid of them?"
Luo Xi said calmly: "Your Majesty, it can't be like this. The strength of both sides is well known, we know it, and they must know it. But according to the herald soldiers, their generals are still shouting and scolding under the city, trying to lure us out, I am afraid there is a conspiracy!"
"Conspiracy, conspiracy! How can there be so many conspiracies? Do you just let them surround them?" Xiao Qinglian was unconvinced.
Luo Xi said: "We must be extremely cautious about national affairs. In the besieging army of the Ai Sakura army, the Lord of Yan City was not found, and this army followed him north to attack Tiancheng. He didn't show up, there must be something wrong. ”
Xiao Qinglian said: "But it's not a way for us to guard it like this! Lomedak is also a small kingdom, how can he be bullied by his little princes? No! I can't bear this breath!"
"Your Majesty......"
Xiao Qinglian glanced at Luo Xi, stepped down from the chair, and said, "Luo Xi, I order you to lead 15,000 people out of the city to meet the enemy now!"
"Your Majesty......"
Xiao Qinglian said coldly: "What, do you want to disobey my orders?"
"Your Majesty, Lord Loshi just doesn't want his brothers to die in vain. Zhao Yan saw that Luo Xi couldn't cope with it, so he came to relieve the siege.
But to Zhao Yan's surprise, Xiao Qinglian's attitude today was extremely resolute.
He slowly turned his head, looked at Zhao Yan indifferently, and said, "Prime Minister, you don't need to take care of the affairs of the army. ”
Xiao Qinglian is tough, but Zhao Yan will not show weakness. At other times, Zhao Yan would not take Xiaoqinglian in his eyes, let alone today. He had vaguely sensed the presence of Ah Da.
Zhao Yan said: "Your Majesty, if you insist on going your own way, you will be irresponsible to your people and soldiers! Such a king will not be supported by his subjects. ”
Xiao Qinglian approached Zhao Yan step by step, not at all like the scared Zhao Yan at the beginning.
He looked at Zhao Yan coldly and said, "Prime Minister, the widow will say it one last time, the widow will go out of the city to attack!"
Zhao Yan closed his eyes and still said lightly: "I can't help Your Majesty if you want to do this, but as the prime minister, I definitely don't agree with this order." ”
"Your Majesty!"
Loshi knelt down on one knee and shouted, "Please trust me and the prime minister!"
Hum......
Xiao Qinglian suddenly sneered.
Under the surprised gaze of everyone, Xiao Qinglian turned around, slowly walked up the steps, suddenly turned around, and her eyes shot sharply at Zhao Yan and Luo Xi, and said, "You two really have a conspiracy!"
Zhao Yan and Luo Xi's whole body tightened.
Zhao Yan always felt that the atmosphere in the palace today was not normal, especially Xiao Qinglian's eyes, as if they had never been so sharp.
After a pause, Xiao Qinglian said again: "Military officer, prime minister, the status of the two of you in Lomedak is already below one person and above ten thousand. But now that the two most important ministers of you are colluding together, what else can you covet? Do you want to divide the kingdom equally after taking it? Or have you colluded with the Sakura army outside to divide Lomedak into three points?"
Xiao Qinglian glanced at Zhao Yan deeply and said, "Prime Minister, could this be a game you haven't played enough?"
Treat unjustly!
In order for the plan to run smoothly, Loshi had to desperately maintain his loyal attitude. Until the last moment, he will not reveal the hole card of his betrayal. In fact, even in the last one, for the honor of the family, for the sake of Odin Locke, he will not unveil it.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is bent on thinking about Lomedak, and it is definitely not what you think!"
Luo Xi turned around, pointed to the minister behind him, and said, "The loyalty of the old ministers can be seen by the sun and the moon, and they can all be proven!"
The ministers took a few small steps back, but no one dared to stand up and say anything more at this moment. After a pause, a person finally came out, but this person was not talking to Loshi.

"Loyalty? Is it also called loyalty to frame a colleague for one's own position?"
Golvoma!
The appearance of Golvoma caused the ministers to bow their heads and hide behind the ranks one after another. Everyone felt that an internal strife was inevitable, and the atmosphere was suddenly extremely depressing.
Zhao Yan took a deep look at Gervoma and saw that he was glaring at Luo Xi in high spirits.
Zhao Yan suddenly understood, he turned his head, looked at Xiao Qinglian, and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that you don't trust me and Lord Luo Xi anymore. ”
Xiao Qinglian said: "Trust? Hmph, Yanda Magician, you should know that we are just using each other. As for Lohi, he is a pillar of the kingdom with a heavy army of Lomedak in his hands. It's a pity that he is old and confused, such a person is easy to do wrong things, and it is time to retreat. ”
Zhao Yan said: "Then what are you going to do with us?"
Xiao Qinglian shouted: "Guards, escort the two of them down!"
Zhao Yan was secretly amused, the guards were Qiu's people, in other words, his people. Isn't it ridiculous that Xiao Qinglian used his people to arrest him?
It's just that Zhao Yan didn't expect that Chugh didn't appear, and what appeared was a thin man who was exactly the same size as Chug. The guards surged out after him, surrounding Zhao Yan and Luo Xi.
Xiao Qinglian said: "Prime Minister, you must be wondering why the guards have changed, right? ”
Gervoma bowed slightly to Xiaoqinglian, turned around and glanced at Zhao Yan contemptuously, and said, "That fat man is probably tired and resting in his cell. As for his brothers, in order to save him, they were naturally imprisoned by us. ”
Zhao Yan's face flashed with a hint of gloom.
It turned out that Xiao Qinglian and Gel Fuma had already arranged it, and this was their conspiracy. Hmph! It seems that he is doing well, but he didn't let him get the news.
Zhao Yan walked over, helped Luo Xi up, and said lightly: "Lord Luo Xi, you have worked hard for Lo Medak all your life, but I didn't expect to get this result, it's really chilling!" Zhao Yan deliberately said this very much, so that everyone present could hear it.
Loshi shook his head and remained silent.
Zhao Yan turned his head and said to the ministers who were trembling with their heads down: "You are all optimistic, Lord Luo Xi is a lesson from the past. ”
Xiaoqinglian said: "Prime Minister, don't play tricks anymore, your tricks used to be very attractive to me." But "The King's Guide" has made me understand a lot of truths, you don't have to lie to me anymore!"
Zhao Yan looked around, and then the guards around him glanced at it, shook his head, and said, "Xiao Qinglian! The "King Tongjian" did make you understand a lot of things, but he also brought you into destruction! Do you think these people can subdue me?"
Zhao Yan's face turned pale for a while.
Luo Xi saw Zhao Yan's changes and hurriedly said, "Prime Minister, what's wrong?"
Xiao Qinglian's laughter came, "He's poisoned." ”
What the!
Zhao Yan covered his abdomen and held his body so that he didn't fall down. The sharp pain that rolled in his stomach almost broke him, and he even felt countless blades churning in his body.
Zhao Yan glanced at Xiao Qinglian with a sneer and said, "No...... Not bad...... The people I taught were really vicious. ”
Xiao Qinglian took a few steps closer to Zhao Yan leisurely, and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, do you think that there are more people to subdue you now?"
Knock!
The palace trembled slightly, and a rumbling sound sounded from outside the palace.
The next moment, two huge figures walked in menacingly under the leadership of a man.
No minister or guard dared to stop them, and let them enter the palace step by step.
"Who dares to touch my boss?"
Xiao Qinglian whispered: "Hill Giant......"
Kadan Robe continued: "Piruru, Cassisi, get the boss out and smash them into meatloaf!"
The appearance of the hill giants caused a commotion, and many of the ministers had already fled out of the palace, fearing that they would be affected by the imminent battle. But some ministers with a long-term vision stayed, daring to pat the victor on the back or sneer at the loser at the first time to establish a good image in the eyes of the winner.
Xiao Qinglian hurriedly took a few steps back, her face was a little flustered, and said, "Prime Minister, do you want to rebel?"
Zhao Yan smiled faintly, but the smile was very ugly, it seemed that the poison was rapidly attacking.
Zhao Yan said: "You want my life, can I not fight back?"
There are two hill giants here, and Zhao Yan is very confident in controlling the palace.
Hum!
Xiao Qinglian retreated to the king's chair and said, "Bring it up!"
With the sound of a woman's struggle, a woman in white was tied up by two Xiao Qinglian's personal soldiers. Xiao Qinglian grabbed the woman, pulled out the dagger at her waist and put it against her neck.
Zhao Yan was secretly surprised, it seems that Xiao Qinglian's outburst this time is very strong!
Xiao Qinglian said: "If any of you dare to resist, I will kill her!"
Zhao Yan shook his head and said, "Xiao Qinglian, she is your sister! I remember you said that she once saved your life!"
Xiao Qinglian glared at Zhao Yan and said, "She is already your person! Will she still help me?" Yan, let your hill giant retreat, or I will cut off her neck immediately!"
Doselina's face was not so panicked and anxious, she smiled at Xiao Qinglian instead, and said, "My dear brother, now that you are the king, you are indeed much more manly than before! Taking a woman as a hostage is indeed very manly......
Dosilena's sarcasm provoked Xiao Qinglian, and as soon as his hand shook, a trace of bright red appeared on Doselina's neck.
Luo Xi hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Your Majesty, be careful!"
A feeling of electric shock swept through Xiao Qinglian's body, fortunately, the strength of her hand just now was not too great, if she was really killed, even the hostages would be gone.
Xiao Qinglian forcibly suppressed her emotions, but there was still incomparable anxiety between her words, "Hurry up!
Hum......
Doselina suddenly laughed.
Xiao Qinglian said, "What are you laughing at?"
Doselina shook her head and said, "I laugh at you for being stupid." ”
"How am I stupid?"
"My dear brother, isn't it foolish for you to take me hostage? Yan is not just dealing with you, but the royal power of our Al Sen family. You know, I'm your sister, and I'm Alianson's man. I'm a hostage of no value at all. ”
A hint of loneliness crossed the corner of Doselina's eyes, she was ready to become a victim of this struggle.
She was very clear about her situation and knew Zhao Yan's purpose. Zhao Yan married her entirely for profit, this was just a political marriage, could he still have any feelings for himself? Could there still be that ridiculous love? Now that he was only one step away from success, how could he give up for the sake of an inconsequential woman?
Doselina exhaled deeply, she wanted to cry, but she couldn't. This feeling reminded her of when her father died, she wanted to cry, but she couldn't. Since she was a child, nothing has ever made Doslingera cry except for the moment of birth.
"Xiao Qinglian, please spare her, let my wife Doslena Eleson go. ”
Zhao Yan's eyes were fixed on Doselina, and he ordered the hill giant to retreat.
Doselina was stunned.
