Chapter 123: Siege

Li Chunfeng quickly told the emperor what had happened these days, and when the latter heard that the second prince and the third prince colluded with Murong Jie and Mingyue Sect to rebel, he didn't believe it, and when Li Chunfeng made an explanation, the prince and an official came to the palace under the escort of a group of masters, and when he saw that his father had woken up, he was both happy and excited in his heart, and suddenly knelt down in front of the emperor.

This official's name is Huang Bingyi, is the emperor's most trusted minister, since the emperor has ignored the government for a few days, he feels that something is not quite right, so under the instruction of the prince, secretly collected evidence that the second prince and the third prince conspired to rebel, three days ago, with the help of Li Chunfeng and a group of masters, he finally collected favorable evidence, an edict, and several secret letters with Mingyue Sect and Murong Jie, which recorded in detail the evidence of their collusion.

The crown prince was almost crying, "Father, you can be considered awake, now Li Chunfeng's subordinates are fighting against those traitors of the Mingyue Sect, and the second and third brothers have begun to gather troops and prepare to start, and they will soon attack the capital."

Then Huang Bingyi handed over the edict and the letter to the emperor, the latter struggled to sit up, and after reading the letter, he almost fainted again, after he settled down, when even the order was issued to the people present, he moved his body in, knocked lightly on the wall three times, the wall suddenly opened a small hole, he took out a fireworks thing from it, and handed it to Li Chunfeng.

"Pony, release this firework in the air, and then you will have a master to help." , and then he took out a golden token from the small hole, handed it to Huang Bingyi, and explained: "This token can mobilize all the guards in the capital to defend against the enemy's attack." ”

After taking their things, the two left the dormitory.

The emperor said to the crown prince in front of him: "Prince, with our current strength, we can't resist the attack of this hundreds of thousands of troops, have you thought of a countermeasure?" ”

The crown prince nodded, "As early as three days ago, I asked Li Chunfeng to send a message to Qi Tianyang and King Mu, asking him to lead the army into Beijing to capture the thieves, and they also replied, they have already rushed here, the number is about 100,000 people, and the nearest one will take seven days to arrive." ”

The Emperor sighed, "I don't know if our defenders will be able to hold out until that time." ”

The prince said very firmly: "Yes! ”

The emperor was very curious, what made the crown prince so determined? So he asked, "How can you be so sure?" ”

The prince's eyes became extremely resolute, "Because of Li Chunfeng." ”

The emperor suddenly realized, and couldn't help but sigh: "This kid can always play a big role at critical moments, no wonder the prince chooses to unite with him." ”

Outside the dormitory, seeing that the Bright Moon Sect was about to be unable to support it, the thousand people who went to support and block Wen Zhong finally rushed over, and there were nearly two thousand disciples of the Bright Moon Sect on the wall, as well as more than a dozen masters of the Upper Three Realms.

Seeing this, the second elder who was fighting with Wei Mengchen in the air immediately flew to the ground, and laughed, "Hahaha, you didn't expect it!" In fact, we have long known that you guys will not give up, so we came to invite you into the urn, no, it should be called catching turtles in the urn, and all of you are going to die here today. ”

Seeing that there were so many more people from the Bright Moon Sect, except for the disciples of Feng Wuya, everyone else on Li Chunfeng's side was afraid, and they had plans to escape, just when the people of the Bright Moon Sect were about to make a move, Li Chunfeng suddenly jumped out and sneered: "It's too early for you to be happy!" ”

I saw Li Chunfeng release the fireworks in his hand, and four big characters suddenly appeared in the air, "Enter the palace to escort", which was written in accordance with the emperor's handwriting. Suddenly, many powerful people appeared in Tianyun City, numbering about three or four thousand, and they rushed to the side of the dormitory.

These masters are all the masters that the emperor is responsible for planting in Tianyun City, and they stay in all corners on weekdays, and once the emperor has something, they will quickly enter the palace to escort them.

The Second Elder was shocked in his heart, and he wanted to order everyone in the Mingyue Sect to continue attacking, but the Two-Wing Helmsman standing beside him stopped him, "Second Elder, now is not the time for a decisive battle, if you fold everyone here, how can you explain to the Sect Master." ”

Although the second elder was unwilling in his heart, he still gritted his teeth and ordered: "Withdraw!" ”

After the experts who came to support them came here, they saw so many people on this side of the dormitory, and thought they were assassins, so they prepared to escort them, but fortunately, the prince arrived in time to explain the matter clearly, and the matter was calmed down.

Since these people are here, the prince naturally wants to take advantage of them, prepare them to defend the city, and make a promise to them that once the capital is held, all those who have made outstanding achievements in war can not only be promoted to the rank of knight, but also can get a large amount of money, if they can't keep it, the consequences can be imagined.

These people were originally dead soldiers raised by the emperor, and with the promise of the crown prince, they will only work harder, not only because of money, but also about living with a different identity, and never have to live that kind of life with a knife to lick blood.

Originally, the emperor wanted to send someone to arrest Murong Jie's family, but after Li Chunfeng led all the masters to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he found that their family had already gone to the empty building, and Murong Jie fled to the second prince's military camp with everyone in his family.

The people on Li Chunfeng's side did not rush back, but came directly to the surroundings of the city.

Wen Zhong led 500 people to guard the back of the city, Wei Mengchen led 1,000 people on the left side, You Changjing led 1,000 people on the right, Li Chunfeng led 1,000 people to meet the enemy on the city wall in front of him, and the emperor's dead soldiers were scattered around the city wall.

According to Li Chunfeng's expectations, after the two princes learned that the emperor woke up, they would definitely not withdraw their troops, anyway, whether they withdrew or not, it would be a death, it was better to fight to the death, only in this way could they get a glimmer of life and even ascend to the throne.

As Li Chunfeng expected, the second prince had no intention of withdrawing the army, and had already drained the entire Tianyun City siege, leaving not even a gap, and he even let out his words, once the city was broken, all the soldiers defending the city were not left, and all of them were killed.

The second prince's move violated the taboo of the soldiers, and the military book often said that "the siege must be que", so that these soldiers have a way to live, so that they will not fight to the death, and the besieged people can more easily capture the city.

At this time, the emperor stood on the city wall wearing a dragon robe, and looked forward to the second prince from afar.

The emperor shouted loudly to the soldiers below: "Listen to the soldiers below, the second prince intends to rebel, please withdraw your troops quickly, I can not blame the past." ”

After the emperor said this, who knew that the soldiers below were still unmoved, these soldiers were brought out by the second prince, except for his orders, no one could command them, and the emperor was no exception.

The second prince was wearing a pale yellow armor, holding a spear and riding on a horse, facing His Majesty the Emperor still did not change his face, pointing forward with the spear in his hand, "Your Majesty must be threatened by the villain, so he said this, and all the soldiers listened to the order, followed me into the city, and rescued Your Majesty." ”

With the second prince's order, more than a dozen catapults instantly threw the boulder, smashing heavily on the city wall and the city defenders, after dozens of rounds of attacks, the city defenders on the city wall suffered heavy losses, and then the soldiers on the second prince's side set up a ladder, and the battering ram rushed over.

The soldiers defending the city regarded death as home, they knew that once the city was breached, there was only a dead end waiting for them, and they resisted desperately one by one, and with the help of many martial arts heroes, they repelled wave after wave of enemy attacks, and those enemies rushed into the city wall and the enemies were all killed.

After a day of fierce fighting, the defending side wiped out nearly 20,000 people at the cost of losing 4,000 people, and the battle loss ratio reached an astonishing 1 to 5, and the masters of Li Chunfeng's side also lost nearly 300 people.

Li Chunfeng stood on top of the city with a long sword covered in blood, it was not his own blood but the enemy's, he alone killed hundreds of enemies, this battle, he relied on his superb swordsmanship, and completely made a reputation, but Li Chunfeng did not feel happy at all, because this was all exchanged for innocent lives.

Li Chunfeng looked down at the city wall, there were already piles of corpses, those soldiers were just some like ordinary people, if it weren't for the selfishness of the second prince, how could so many people die, if it wasn't for the common people in the world, he really didn't want to participate in this war.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the second prince was scolding at his generals, "You useless waste, so many people can't capture Tianyun City, and you have lost so many soldiers, what's the use of keeping you." ”

One of the generals in battle armor stood up and bowed to the second prince, "Second Highness, behind the high walls of this capital city, besides, the soldiers defending the city regard death as if they were at home, and it is reasonable that we can't attack it." ”

Hearing the general's reply, the second prince suddenly became angry, and threw the book in his hand over, "You are still reasonable, drag it out, and beat twenty military sticks." ”

Hearing the decision of the second prince, everyone knelt down to intercede for the general, and now the third prince on the side also said good things for him, "For the sake of General Zhao's hard work, I spared him this time, the main purpose now is to come up with a way to deal with it, if we wait until the reinforcements arrive, we really have no chance of winning." ”

Hearing this, the second prince was so angry that he let go of the general for the time being, and said to everyone: "If you have any way to deal with it, tell me quickly." ”

Another general stepped forward, "The last general has a few suggestions, I don't know if it's feasible or not. ”

The second prince said, "Come on." ”
