Chapter 173: The Heroine's Strategy System 18
Prime Minister Shang turned his head to look at King Pingxi again, his eyes flickering with suspicion.
In an instant, all kinds of thoughts passed through my heart several times, thinking about all kinds of possibilities, and fierceness flashed in my eyes.
King Pingxi was originally a military general, with a violent personality, and his anger when Xu Ran sowed discord was abnormal.
She originally had this thought in her heart, if Prime Minister Shang's people suffered too many casualties, and her strength was preserved, she would not be able to directly take over the world.
Whoever doesn't want to be the empress is the supreme in the world, and from now on, there is no need to grovel to anyone, and he can also achieve a hegemony.
But now that he has been said clearly, he is afraid that Shang Cheng will have murderous intentions towards him, and it is a matter of whether he can leave the capital at that time.
An empress has no other skills, but the ability to sow discord is not small.
Touching Prime Minister Shang's suspicious eyes again, he took a deep breath, looked at Xu Ran and said in a deep voice:
"If Your Majesty opens the palace gate and abdicates to make way for Xian, this king is willing to place you in the Pingxi fiefdom, and then there will be servants in the mansion, Your Majesty's life is not too sad."
Xu Ran shook his head and said: "No, I am a good empress, why do you want to go to Pingxi, you deceive people, you want to trick me into killing me." ”
Xu Ran admired it tightly, and at this time he could still talk to her calmly.
King Pingxi choked and snorted coldly, "Stubborn." ”
Seeing this, Shang Zhi leaned beside Prime Minister Shang and whispered:
"Mother, it is definitely impossible to solve things without blood, things have come to this point, there is no room to turn back, and it will change later."
When Prime Minister Shang heard this, he looked at King Pingxi, the two looked at each other and nodded, Prime Minister Shang and King Pingxi raised their hands at the same time and shouted: "The whole army listens to the order, attack!" ”
Seeing this, Xu Ran sighed and shouted at Prime Minister Shang: "Wait for the rebellious ministers and thieves, I will let you know that not everyone can easily take away my country." ”
Prime Minister Shang sneered, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Your Majesty, it was because you were unwilling to open the palace gate that I made this decision, why are you dying." ”
Xu Ran puffed out a deep breath with his cheeks, stretched out a hand and rubbed his face, the hand that grabbed the long sword was slightly forced, and the person who looked at the city wall had already begun to act, raised a hand, and shouted: "Listen to my orders, the whole army is ready." ”
The sound of war drums sounded, and Xu Ran shouted coldly when he saw this: "Archer, release the arrows." ”
The army led by Prime Minister Shang and King Pingxi swarmed with all kinds of siege equipment, rushing straight to the city wall, and the morale of the rebels was high, in their hearts, there were only more than 10,000 Janissaries in the imperial city, while there were tens of thousands on their side.
This is basically a war with no suspense.
Some soldiers dug the foundations of the city and dug the walls under the cover of carts and various movable bunkers.
Dozens of people carried a piece of striking wood and slammed it against the heavy and thick palace gate, and the crash sound rumbled.
Some soldiers set up various ladders to climb the city wall and struggled to climb up.
As Xu Ran just fell, the sound of feather arrows breaking through the air suddenly whistled past Xu Ran's ears, and in the rain of arrows, some of the soldiers below were directly shot into hedgehogs.
King Pingxi's face was gloomy, "Release the arrow." ”
For a while, the rain of arrows on both sides converged, and some of the arrows fell to the ground in mid-air, and dense arrows shot towards Xu Ran.
Female Officer Su hurriedly picked up the sword in her hand, pulled Xu Ran, danced the long sword, and knocked the arrow to the ground.
And the soldiers defending the city were also shot, and the soldiers in the back immediately replaced the archery soldiers in front, Xu Ran watched the soldiers around him fall one by one, and wailed.
said to Lady Su, "Give me a bow and arrow." ”
Female Officer Su shot down the arrow that was facing Xu Ran's door, and hurriedly handed Xu Ran a bow.
Xu Ran hooked the corners of his lips, pulled the bow into a full moon shape, and aimed the arrow at Prime Minister Shang.
"Whoosh..."
Prime Minister Shang's pupils shrank, looked at the arrows whistling towards him, and pressed his body on the horse's back, Xu Ran sneered when he saw this, and shot three arrows in a row towards Prime Minister Shang's horse.
Prime Minister Shang couldn't dodge, two arrows were shot at Prime Minister Shang's horse, the horse neighed and its front hooves leaned up, and Prime Minister Shang kicked the stirrup hard and tightened the reins.
"Appeal ......"
Xu Ran looked at it with great eyes, and shot an arrow at Shang Chengxiang, the arrow was attached to the aura, and flew towards Shang Chengxiang, the arrow faintly buzzed in the air, and went straight to the door of Shang Chengxiang.
Prime Minister Shang was already trying his best to control the horse he was riding, and his body was deflected, but the sword that Xu Ran shot over was still shot on Prime Minister Shang's shoulder, directly piercing his entire body.
Shang Zhixi exclaimed, "Mother." ”
The eyes were full of disbelief, how could the mother be so careless.
Prime Minister Shang had resentment in his eyes, his face was pale, he stared at Xu Ran, his face was pale, and Xu Ran smiled evilly.
Prime Minister Shang is also a ruthless person to himself, and the soldiers behind him saw this and then blocked the rain of arrows in front of Prime Minister Shang.
Prime Minister Shang stepped back and pulled out the arrow on his shoulder hard, and sneered at Xu Ran, "Stubborn resistance, not self-sufficient." ”
Xu Ran held a sword in one hand, blocking the rain of arrows, and looked at Prime Minister Shang, in the firelight used for lighting on the city wall, shining on Prime Minister Shang's face, in the noisy voice, Xu Ran didn't know what Shang Cheng was talking to her at all.
It's also rare to take care of it, shouting at the throat with a sore throat.
Whatever she says, there must be nothing good to say.
Xu Ran saw that some of the rebels were about to climb the city wall along the ladder, Xu Ran snorted coldly, and his face was gloomy.
Xu Ran also made people smash the rolling wooden stones under the city, and the soldiers who were climbing the wall were directly shot to the ground and could not move.
He also let people fan smoke and smoke through the shaft into the tunnel, and smoke the enemy troops attacking from the tunnel.
This war is life and death, the disparity is too great, and the morale of the Praetorian Guards in the palace is getting lower and lower, but fortunately, the Praetorian Guards guarding the palace are all elites from the army, and they have not given up resisting because of this.
Xu Ran watched as the Praetorian Guards in the palace were dying more and more, the city walls were full of corpses, and even the arm of the female official Su was wiped by an arrow, leaving a wound.
Female Official Su looked desperate and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, half of our people are dead, and they can hold out for half an hour at most." ”
Xu Ran said calmly: "Don't panic, we will have rescuers soon." ”
Seeing Xu Ran's calm appearance, Female Officer Su felt bitter in her heart.
But the injured arm was still dancing with the sword, and asked bitterly, "Your Majesty, where are the rescuers?" ”
She is not afraid of dying in battle, but her family is no longer protected, and it is not easy to get to this day.
Xu Ran looked into the distance, although her face was calm, in fact, her heart was not calm at all.
scolded my mother in my heart.
Why hasn't he come yet?
Seeing this situation, Shang Cheng seemed to have victory in sight, his eyes full of ambition were mixed with ambition, his face was extremely pale, he felt the pain in his shoulder, and looked at Xu Ran, who was wearing bright yellow armor on the city wall, and was instantly full of killing intent.
Xu Ran's ears were better than anyone else's, and when he heard the faint sound of horses' hooves in the distance, he smiled strangely at Prime Minister Shang.
