Chapter 118: Niu Touren
The second prince of Da Yan was resting in Meridian City, and the two women on the side, one big and one small, were giving him grapes with their mouths.
At this time, he did not have the slightest sense of urgency in the danger of losing the country, but was a little happy, if it wasn't for this big war, how could the third child die? How can he have a bright future?
And now, his plan has succeeded in blocking the army of Yongguo in the Meridian Valley, and he only needs to wait for someone from the Holy Land to come and resolve the crisis, and then he can rightfully become the heir.
Sometimes, life is so dramatic! The second prince sighed in his heart, if he could see the third child, he would definitely say to the third child: Life is impermanent, don't be complacent too early.
However, the second prince of Da Yan never imagined that this sentence would soon be confirmed on him.
The defenders of Meridian City were not many, less than three thousand. When Yongguo was attacked, all the troops were transferred, and these people were still temporarily recruited.
At this time, the defenders in Meridian City were in groups of three or five, lazily lying on the ground, some were drinking wine, and some were even gambling.
There are millions of ordinary people blocking the Meridian Valley, unless the Yongjun army has wings, it will not be able to pass at all, so these defenders are not worried at all, and they are having a good time one by one. They have just robbed all the money of the millions of ordinary people, and now they are all very rich, and they are not relentless in their bets.
When night fell, a bonfire was lit on the city tower, and the voices of the people were boiling, one by one, with a red face and a thick neck. No one noticed that an elite troop was rapidly approaching as night fell.
"Damn, that's unlucky!" A middle-aged man with a leprosy on his head dropped the last two taels of silver, scolding in his mouth.
"Li Ergou, you shouldn't be afraid of losing, don't you dare to play!" Someone laughed.
"Fart, when have I ever been afraid? Lao Tzu went to get the money, and when Lao Tzu came back, he would kill you and leave no piece of armor! โ
Li Ergou was originally a second-rate son in this city, this time, temporary conscription, he took a fancy to the reward and joined the army, but he didn't expect that the second prince actually let them drive away the people, this is simply his forte. Snatch the most. Although he lost a few hundred taels tonight, it was nothing compared to what he robbed.
"It's unlucky, Lao Tzu will pee first to get rid of the mildew!" Li Ergou walked to the dark place in the corner of the city wall, unbuckled his belt, and was about to pee outside with the bird.
Suddenly, in the darkness of the night, a sword light hung upside down from the bottom to the top, splitting him in half from the middle.
Poofโ
The two halves of the corpse fell into the darkness, not alarming anyone.
In the night, on the city wall, figures leaped up.
The walls of Meridian City are not too high, and the great grandmasters can leap up to them.
In a few moments, there were already hundreds of more people on the city tower.
"Tie Niu, you follow me to open the city gate, and the others will deal with the defenders, and no one will be left!"
Ye Jun turned over and entered the city, quietly blending into the darkness, and suddenly remembered the earth-shattering sound of fighting on the city wall behind him.
There are more than 30 martial powerhouses and hundreds of great masters. Against these defenders, this is a one-sided massacre!
If these defenders are strictly guarded and use bows and crossbows, they may be able to cause some trouble to Ye Jun and his party, but most of these temporarily recruited people are second-rate people on weekdays, and they are greedy for money and lustful, and it is more difficult for them to fight with discipline than to kill them.
The smell of blood spread across the city walls, and the screams continued one after another.
The sound of the battle alarmed the guards under the city walls, but just as they were about to go up, a pair of iron axes flew towards them.
The hundred-pound iron axe flew around the crowd, and no one could stop it.
With Zhang Tieniu blocking these defenders, Ye Jun can open the city gate with peace of mind.
The gates of Meridian City had long been blocked by stones, and they were all thousands of catties of stones, piled up tightly. It would not be easy for someone else to remove these stones, let alone open the gates. This is why siege battles have historically been the most difficult to succeed.
However, in front of Ye Jun, even if it is a 10,000-pound boulder, it is no more than Erer.
Ye Jun kicked a thousand-pound boulder away, and the stone flew out more than ten meters, smashing into the defenders, and I don't know how many people were killed.
One stone after another flew out, which can be described as being injured when touched, and killing when touched. In an instant, there were countless dead and wounded, and the wails shook the whole city.
How dare the remaining defenders step forward? All of them trembled like chaff, as if they had seen a ghost.
Thousands of pounds of stones, casually kicked more than ten meters away, is this still a person?
In addition, Ye Jun ran the Vajra Divine Skill, and the dark golden light shone brightly, in the eyes of the people of the Yan Kingdom, it was like a god descending to earth.
"Immortals spare their lives!" There are constantly people kneeling down in fright and kowtowing desperately.
"Those who surrender will not be killed!" Ye Jun roared, shocking the sky, and the powerful sonic power swept out, and the nearest dozens of people immediately spurted blood, killing them directly.
One by one, the rest of the people collapsed on the ground like dumplings, completely giving up resistance.
Ye Jun kicked the remaining stones away, smashed the city gate with one punch, opened the way for the army, turned around and asked, "Where is your second prince, take me there!" โ
"I know, I know......" Someone immediately led the way.
โฆโฆ
The sound of the battle broke through the night, especially Ye Jun's roar, which shook the whole city.
The second prince of Da Yan had just fallen asleep with the little wife and eldest daughter of the Meridian City Lord in his arms, when he was suddenly awakened by a loud roar, and said in shock and anger: "Where did the sound of the fight come from? โ
Outside the door, a figure stumbled in and shouted, "Second prince, it's not good, the Yongjun has entered the city!" โ
"Impossible!"
The second prince's first reaction was to joke!
Meridian Valley is blocked by millions of ordinary people, and even if Yongjun really kills so many people, it will take several days to clean up the corpses.
What's more, he sent people to keep an eye on Meridian Valley, why didn't he send back the news?
The person who came was shocked and frightened, and stammered: "I don't know, these Yongjun didn't go to the Meridian Valley at all, and they suddenly appeared and killed the city tower, as if they fell from the sky!" โ
"Falling from the sky, the Yongjun has no wings!" The second prince scolded, "It's all waste, those people are also waste, millions of people, they haven't even dragged it for a day, it's better than millions of pigs!" โ
The subordinate trembled and said, "I just heard someone shouting immortals, is it possible, Yongjun really has the help of immortals?" Heard...... The founding emperor of Yongguo, Emperor Yongding, descended to earth and destroyed our millions of allied troops, could it be that it was Emperor Yongding who sent Yongjun through the Meridian Valley? โ
"Fart, Emperor Yongding has been dead for more than a thousand years, if he can descend to earth as an immortal, why didn't he go down to earth when our Great Yan Kingdom was founded?" The second prince didn't believe it even more.
But now, it has become a fact that the Yongjun army has entered the city, and it is too late to say anything!
Run!
Now there is only one thought in the second prince's mind, and that is to flee back to the imperial capital.
Yongjun has already entered the city, and it will be too late if he doesn't leave, if he is caught by Yongjun, there will still be good fruit to eat?
However, before he could get dressed, the door slammed down.
A group of men dressed in domestic clothes and armed with swords rushed in.
The leader is a middle-aged man in an official uniform.
"Lord Niu City, you came just in time, the Yongjun has entered the city, quickly escort me away!" The second prince said in surprise.
How do you know that when the visitor saw the scene in front of him, he immediately took a few steps back, pointed to his wife and daughter on the bed, and then pointed to the second prince, and said tremblingly: "Second prince, I have worked hard for the country for decades, and you have actually bullied my wife and daughter." If you treat me with mustard, don't blame me for treating you with hatred. Take down the second prince for me, I will give him to the Emperor of Yongguo, and you will abandon the darkness and turn to the light with me! โ
"You ......"
The two princes were stunned. Didn't you fuck your wife and daughter to my room yourself? Now it's a rake?
You fucking just want to defect to the enemy and betray the country, and you still pretend to be so righteous? The second prince was angry and scolded: "Shameless, shameless old thief!" โ
Soon, he was speechless, and a stinky sock was shoved into his mouth, almost making him faint.
"Everyone, come with me to meet the king!"
โฆโฆ
When Ye Jun led the army to the City Lord's Mansion, there was already a row of people kneeling neatly in front of the City Lord's Mansion, and at the front was the second prince of Dayan who was tied tightly.
The Meridian City Lord knelt forward and saluted, with a flattering face, and said with a smile: "Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor, we have been looking forward to the Dayong Wangshi recovering their homeland for decades, and finally waiting for the Wangshi's Northern Expedition, it is really too long!" โ
Ye Jun raised his eyebrows and said, "What, seeing that you are not old, you are also my old man in Yongguo?" โ
The lord of Meridian City said: "Weichen's surname is Niu, and his name is Touren." The ancestor used to be the Great Yongjinshi, and the name given to Weichen is not to forget the way of benevolence and righteousness in Yongguo. Wechen has been looking forward to it for decades, and finally waited for His Majesty's benevolent and righteous teacher, and he has no regrets about life and death! โ
As he spoke, tears flowed from his eyes, and he looked moved and sincere, if Ye Jun hadn't seen this guy just touch his eyes with his fingers dipped in chili powder, he would have really been deceived by him.
"Okay, good, it's really a person with lofty ideals!" Ye Jun's face was full of "praise" and said: "Your heart is towards Dayong, you are so hearted, I must not waste your blood." This time, I led the army on a northern expedition to recover my homeland. Since you have this heart to serve Dayong, it is just up to you to go to the Emperor of Yanguo and send a letter of persuasion to the puppet emperor of Yanguo, I believe you will not let me down! โ
What the! To persuade surrender? The Meridian City Lord's brain suddenly buzzed, and this time the tears really flowed out, this is not to persuade him to surrender, but to send him to death. If Emperor Yanguo knew that he had tied up the second prince and persuaded him to surrender, he would definitely cut off his head without saying a word.
"The minister is only afraid that his ability is not enough, and he will live up to His Majesty's trust!" Niu Touren's voice trembled.
"You can rest assured that ability is not important, the most important thing is attitude. I believe that you are full of blood and enthusiasm, and you will definitely be able to influence the puppet emperor of the Yan Kingdom. โ
Is it okay not to go?
Niu Touren met Ye Jun's smiling gaze, and his heart trembled, if he didn't go, I am afraid that his head would fall to the ground now.
