Chapter 361: The Righteousness of the Monarch and the Minister

Princess Denise's order was like a sharp thorn in the hearts of all the soldiers, and this thorn was very deep. If you don't pull it out in time, you're likely to bleed to death.

But even if you pull it out, it will become scarred at the same time as it is pulled.

The siege of the city lasted for three days, which was so easy to do.

Under heavy reward, there will be brave men, and under heavy punishment, there will be strong generals.

In addition to being brutal to those civilians, Zijun still has some skills. In terms of a series of siege measures, he did not refuse some of Moko's proposals, and also deliberated and explored, and finally worked out a set of the most rapid siege strategy.

It's just that the casualties are greater.

There is no exhaustive aspect of things in the world, and Denise's order makes them have to do the only thing.

In just two days, the Yuntian Army directly and indirectly lost more than 3,000 soldiers, not counting the number of wounded. In the early morning of the third day, Norton City finally crumbled.

Denise opened the carriage excitedly, she was like a wet girl after a bath in the early morning, and the bursts of fragrance fluttered for miles, which suddenly made people feel refreshed.

"General Zijun!"

Zi Jun rode back and said, "Your Royal Highness the Princess!"

Denise smiled, "You really didn't disappoint me, Norton City doesn't seem to be able to hold out for long." ”

Zi Jun said: "As long as Your Highness releases the heavy catapult now, it will be guaranteed that Your Highness's noble carriage will be able to be carried into Norton's castle before noon!"

Denise looked into the distance, and the soldiers on the tower of Norton City were scattered, no longer as imposing and uniform as before. "Yes!

"Your Highness!"

Zi Jun took a few steps back, turned around again, and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured, the magicians and archers on the enemy city tower are almost dead, and our heavy catapults will not suffer much loss." ”

The princess nodded, and Zijun left.

The reason why Zijun said this is because he knows the place of the heavy catapult in Princess Denise's heart. Although Yuntian City had more than 30,000 troops, there were only a dozen heavy catapults. These heavy catapults were purchased by Denise from the Holy See of Light at great expense, and they are very destructive, especially for tough walls. However, his defense is low, and his range is not as far as some of the magician's spells.

That's why Denise hasn't taken them out easily.

But now, the magicians and archers on the upper floor of Norton City have been almost wiped out, and the dispatch of heavy catapults means that the Cloud Sky Army intends to charge the whole army and deal a fatal blow to Norton City.

In the long-range mission of eliminating the upper floors of Norton City, Zijun has made a considerable contribution.

His own archery skills were already very skillful, and he reached the S-level realm half a year ago. Now he has the "Mosaic Bow", this bow and arrow is equivalent to a sub-artifact, the person who wields this bow can not only increase his arm strength by twice his own, but also increase his range by twice his own, and most importantly, its arrows can instantly accelerate after shooting at the target, forming a penetrating effect. Calculated in this way, Zi Junya, who is equipped with the bow of the inlaid Xuan, is an SS-level shooter.

I don't know how many Mages Las Vegal, who were standing on the city tower, were shot off the head for some reason.

Goo knock! goo knock ......

Heavy catapults were about five meters long and two meters wide, one for every ten men, and drove towards the city of Norton with the noise of the machines.

In front of the heavy catapult, several thousand fighters and several thousand shooters were mixed in. The warrior shielded the upper part of the tower, and the archer shot arrows from the gap in the shield to the tower.

Norton was at the end of his crossbow, and the arrows shot from the tower were not even more than half as many as the arrows under the city.

The besieged Norton is facing attacks from all sides. Costa North was the military secretary of Las Vegal, and Frigaon had always trusted him very much, and he was also in command of the defense at this time.

At this moment, when Costa saw the attack coming from all directions, and saw the heavy catapult behind the Yuntian Army, his face immediately turned pale.

He shouted: "Don't show your head, hide behind the city wall and shoot blind arrows!"

Costa knew his current situation well, and he knew that in a few hours, Norton would be broken.

After thinking for a while, under the cover of several personal soldiers, he ran down from the city tower.

He shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Don't follow me, go to the city tower to defend, many people have more strength!"

The soldiers had tears in their eyes, and then they reluctantly turned away. They rummaged through the corpses of their comrades for undamaged bows and arrows, and shot them blindly into the sky.

Costa North is running so fast that it seems that it can't be delayed for a second. He hurried to the castle lord's mansion, and without so much etiquette, he knelt down on one knee in front of Frigaon.

"Your Majesty! Norton is gone!"

Frigaon was a middle-aged man in his fifties, but he looked like an old man in his sixties and seventies. Hearing this, he did not panic, but took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and said in a low voice: "Get up!"

Frigaon's composure made Godsbei very uncomfortable, and he would rather the king yold at him or just drag him out and behead him. His heart was dead, long before the soldiers around him were dying one by one.

At this time, the voice of Prime Minister Codanfeld came from beside him, "Costa, Norton's walls are strong, and even Manchester City in the south may not be comparable." It's only been a few days, why can't you hold on?"

Costa said lightly: "Norton's defeat was made by the enemy with flesh and blood. We defended 5,000 and now 2,000 have been killed, but the enemy has also paid the price of 3,000 men. Denise is a vicious woman, she doesn't care about the life and death of the soldiers!"

"And...... Their heavy catapults were already on their way to Norton. I'm willing to bet that with a heavy catapult under Norton's feet, the city will be broken in less than an hour. ”

Licentious!

Codanfeld was furious, came to Godnorth, and angrily reprimanded: "Godnorth! You actually raise the morale of others and destroy your own prestige! You are so presumptuous!"

After a pause, Codanfeld turned around and shouted, "Someone! Drag this deceitful guy out and behead him!"

Bang bang!

As soon as Frigaon swept away, the teacup, which was more than 200 years old, dissolved into a mass on the ground.

"Lao Tzu is not dead yet!"

The king was angry, and all the ministers fell to their knees.

Frigaon glared at Kodanfeld angrily and shouted, "Prime Minister, I know that you and Godsin have always been at odds. But what time is it now, why are you still thinking about these thoughts of getting rid of dissidents!"

Codanfeld trembled with fright, and kept nodding his head in agreement: "Your Majesty is angry, ...... angry."

"One of your light clicks warms my whole codeword life. Login.**.com, support genuine literature"

Hum!

Frigaon stretched out his hand to take the teacup, only to find that he had already been knocked over by himself, and he had a burst of anger in his heart, and slapped it the coffee table, and the mahogany coffee table was actually torn apart, which showed that the king was not idle back then.

The prime minister took the opportunity to hurriedly say: "It's all to blame on the people who love the Sakura Kingdom! We have agreed to be their request, but they have not come to rescue us, we have been fooled!"

Frigaon was silent.

Godbei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty! King Yan is young and promising, in just over a year, he first took Aiying City, then captured Heavenly City, and finally even Lomedak was easily recovered by him. Such a person cannot be just brave, he must be an honest and moral person, he will definitely come!"

"Hmph!" Codanfeld glared at Godnorth again, and said, "Lord Shangshu, don't say it too early! We received an urgent report from Amagi a week ago, but now that it's been so long, why haven't they come yet?" I see...... It's Yan's bastard who has repented! He and Yuntian City are originally allies, this is a conspiracy, this is their collusion!"

Codanfeld turned around and said, "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, you should hurry back to Zorisen! We still have 3,000 soldiers, and we will definitely be able to break through successfully!"

Gosbei thought for a while, then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks so. As long as Your Majesty doesn't fall, we still have a chance, give up Norton and return to Orison first!"

Codanfil glanced at Godbei and took the opportunity to say, "Even Lord Shangshu said so, it seems that you don't believe that the Sakura Army will come to save us?"

"Nope. Costa said firmly: "I am only doing this for the overall situation, in order to ensure the safety of Your Majesty!" Gosbei arched his hand in the direction of Frigaon, "But I still firmly believe that the Ai Sakura Army will definitely come to the rescue, it is only a matter of time!"

"Timing?" said Codanfeld sarcastically, "What's the point of them coming back when Norton is razed to the ground? Hmph! I'm not as naΓ―ve as you are." ”

Godnorth no longer paid attention to Codanfeld, faced Frigaon, and said, "Your Majesty, please withdraw!"

Frigaon stood with his hands in his hands, took a few steps back and forth, and finally turned his back to the ministers and said, "I will not go." ”

The ministers were taken aback and looked at each other. Even Costa North and Codanfeld, the two rivals, couldn't help but glance at each other.

"Although I don't know if it's true that the Yuntian Army slaughtered the city, we have already killed many people and sacrificed many brave soldiers. There are many more inhabitants of Zarison than Norton, but the city defenses and troops are not as strong as Norton's, and if Norton is broken, how can Zerrisson keep it?"

Frigaon waved his hand and said, "Let's all go!" Break through with 3,000 soldiers, return to Orisen, and then sacrifice Orisen to Yan, as long as Orisen is protected by the Sakura Kingdom, the inhabitants living there will be free from war. ”

Frigaon's voice suddenly became lonely, and he said, "Norton has been trampled on by war, which has caused so many innocent people to lose their lives and torn so many families apart. It's my sin, and I'm going to stay here and live and die with Norton. ”

Your Majesty!

Godbei's hoarse cry suddenly sounded, and he immediately knelt down and begged loudly: "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

The next moment, all the ministers knelt down one after another and said in unison: "Your Majesty, think twice!"

Frigaon still did not change his original intention, turned his back to them, and said: "This is my order, do you want to disobey it?

"Las Vegal is a small country, and I can't even govern a small country, so how can I survive in this world. Needless to say, you know, I am still a king, and I have the right to behead you if I disobey my orders!"

In the midst of the loss, Frigaon was again majestic.

"Yes......" The ministers replied in unison, slowly standing up.

The cries of slaughter outside the castle seemed to be closer, and the first rays of the morning sun shone on the ground. It's just that these sunshines, which usually seem fair and selfless, look so heartbreaking at the moment.

The living can enjoy it, as can the dead who fall to the earth.

Godnorth stood still, suddenly turned around, and said to Codanfeld: "Prime Minister, Your Majesty's task is entrusted to you, and you must not let Orisen suffer calamity!"

Codanfeld was a little dazed and muttered, "What about you?"

Costa smiled faintly, turned to look at the king, and said, "I want to follow Your Majesty, Norton is here, the minister is here, Norton is broken, the minister is dead." ”

Can......

Godbei hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Prime Minister, don't say it again, we've been fighting for half our lives. I hope that at the end of this, you will agree to my last request and stop fighting with me. ”

In Kodanfeld's eyes, there were inexplicable tears scattering. Looking at this colleague for many years, a sore feeling suddenly came to my heart. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it, so he could only lower his head so that he wouldn't lose his temper too much.

"Lord Shangshu......"

Costa stretched out his hand, patted the back of Codanfeld's hand, glanced at the king, looked around again, and said, "Let's go! Time is running out, and no one will be able to leave when the city is broken." Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the people of Orisen!"

Hearing this, Kodanfeld and his ministers walked out of the castle. Their steps were heavy and slow, as if they were taking the hardest step of their lives.

Just a step away from the main hall, Kodanfeld suddenly turned around and knelt down with tears streaming down his face. And all the ministers followed, and they all knelt down.

Kodanfeld wept, "Your Majesty, the people of Costabe...... Take care!

With that, Kodanfeld quickly got up and led the ministers out without looking back. "Gather all the soldiers and break through!"

In the Lord's Mansion, there is so silence at the moment.

Frigaon stood for an unknown amount of time, but at last he turned around and sat down on the king's throne.

The corners of his mouth suddenly bloomed with a smile, and he said, "Costa Daren, you and I are called Junchen, and we are actually brothers. Life can't be at the same time, but death can be the same hole, it's really emotional!"

"Your Majesty!" said Gosbei.

Frigaon waved his hand and said, "Come on, serve the wine!"

There was chaos in the city, and there were not many people who could stay in the lord's palace to scout the king. At this moment, the two remaining maids slowly came to the side of Frigaon and Costa and poured wine for them.

When the wine was full, Frigaon said, "Come, I will toast you!"

"Your Majesty......" Goss raised his wine glass and sighed with a lot of emotion.

Frigaon made a gesture of invitation and said, "Drink him!" After drinking, we walked up to the castle tower, which can be regarded as attracting the Xiayun Heavenly Army and fighting for more opportunities for Kodanfeld and them to break through. ”

"!"

Goszin didn't say a word, and drank it in one gulp.

It was strong, but it was the best wine he ever imported.

Frigaon stood up, suddenly drew out a few swords, looked back and forth on them, wiped them with his hands, and said silently: "For more than twenty years, I haven't been in battle for more than twenty years. ”

He sighed, glanced at God's north, and shouted, "Let's go!"

Kill! Kill!

Under the city of Norton, in addition to the arrows flying above and below the city, there is a flying of flesh and blood in the sky. At this moment, due to the withdrawal of the Norton defenders, the advance of the Yuntian Army was much smoother. Under the cover of fighters and shooters, the heavy catapults were within range of the Norton attack.

With each round of stone-throwing, the walls of Norton were being damaged at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, and the entire Norton and even the entire battlefield seemed to be moving.

Zijun looked at everything in front of him with satisfaction, Norton's city was broken, it was only a matter of time.

The person who was really satisfied, Zijun was not the only one, and Denise, who was in the distance, hurriedly ordered the carriage to be pushed forward. She wanted to see clearly how Norton was shattered, just as she had seen the destruction of the Cloud Heaven Kingdom when she was a child.

She wants to push down the cities from east to west, and then bury the Mei Kingdom in the ground forever.

There was a sudden exclamation in the Yuntian army, and many people craned their necks and raised their heads to look at the tower of Norton City.

The crowd began to talk loudly.

"Who is that man?"

"Isn't that the king of Las Vegal?"

"Yes, it's him, it's him...... Break through, Norton's defenders have broken through!"

Just as Zi Jun was carefully observing the two people who appeared on the tower of Norton City, the herald next to him hurriedly came to report, "General, the Norton defenders have broken through. Judging by their direction, they are running away from Orisen!"

Zi Jun had a puzzle in his heart, looked at the tower of Norton City, and whispered: "Since you have broken through, why doesn't Frigaon run away......?

Moko's voice sounded in Zijun's ears, "Frigaon is just a decoy, and after their breakthrough minister escapes to the Syrisson, the Serrison will probably be directly incorporated into the plate of the Sakura Kingdom." ”

Zi Jun was shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "Fescaso, Tandio, go and chase! Don't let anyone go!"

"Yes!"

Fiscarso and Tandio rode their horses and rushed in the direction of the Norton ministers' breakthrough.

Zijun turned around, faced the direction of the catapult, and said loudly: "Quick! Siege the city! Capture Frigaon alive! Bounty of 10 million!"

Under Zijun's heavy reward and Denise's heavy punishment, the Yuntian Army's attack became extremely fierce.

Seeing that the city wall near Zijun's side was about to collapse. Zi Jun secretly thought that he only needed the catapult to launch a dozen more rounds of attacks, and the overall situation would be decided.

Zi Jun greedily glanced at the high place of Frigaang, and said coldly: "Old thing, how can I let you go of this prey? I heard that your family property ......."

In the distance, there was a sudden sound of impatient horses' hooves.

Report!

Zijun and Mo Ke hurriedly greeted them, looking at the panicked herald and a group of Yuntian cavalry who came in disarray.

"General, love...... Love, Love, Love...... The love love cherry blossom word army is here!"
