Chapter 968: The Queen Mother is blocked
"Lord Wang?"
The generals under his command don't understand what's going on, now the soldiers outside are waiting, if they don't go out now, it's easy to miss this opportunity, they weren't idle just now, and the morale of their subordinates has been boosted to the strongest, and now is the best time to attack.
Although the walls of the Nanzhao King City are not short, but they carry enough siege equipment, the most important thing is that they have more people, the number of soldiers in the Nanzhao King City is not enough, if you want to defend the four sides of the city, I am afraid that there will soon be a loophole, we can use the loophole to directly enter the city, it is estimated that it will be a few days, the overall situation on our side has been decided, I don't know what the prince is hesitating about now?
Hearing the voices of his subordinates, King Zhennan came back to his senses, and now there is no time for him to hesitate, especially if these people under him are ready, if King Zhennan announces that he will not attack the city, then it is estimated that he will soon be abandoned by these people under him, and they follow King Zhennan to rebel, which is already on a road of no return.
If the king of Zhennan chooses to wait, then it is estimated that these people will choose a new leader, you let us wait because you are worried about your family, do our family members deserve to die? By the time His Royal Highness the King settles accounts after the autumn, our whole family, young and old, has no way to live.
"The king's order is to march toward the royal city."
Hearing the words of King Zhennan, the generals under his command breathed a sigh of relief, they are also some smart people, naturally know why King Zhennan hesitated just now, what they are most afraid of is that King Zhennan hesitates at this time, such a thing as rebellion must be done in one go, if you want to think about the east and west in the middle, then the probability of failure will increase exponentially.
The family next to him also understood, it is estimated that those people who did not run out of the Zhennan Wangfu will not survive, according to the temperament of His Royal Highness the King, soon these people will be sent to the city wall, if they are thrown down directly, then these people are more lucky, at least they will not be too painful when they die, but if they torture you on the city wall, then I don't know what they will torture.
The queen mother's palace was sealed off at the moment, and not even a bird was allowed to run out, and the king had planted dozens of archers around it, and whenever they found a bird in the sky, they would shoot them down with bows and arrows.
His Royal Highness now knows that it is time to make a desperate bet, and even if he loses face later, he must hold his chips.
When he learned that King Zhennan ran out, he knew that he didn't have many chips in his hands, and there were a total of thirty-five people in King Zhennan's family, except for King Zhennan and his eldest son who ran out, all the rest of the people fell into the hands of the king.
But at this moment, the king of Zhennan has already led his troops to surround the capital, if you still take into account the relationship between relatives, then you, the king, are unqualified, for the stability of the whole country, what can these relatives count? They are now the sharpest weapons in the hands of His Royal Highness.
"Put all the people on the city wall for me, and search for young men throughout the whole process, let them go to the city wall to stand by, and if anyone dares not to help, I will kill him on the spot, including all the nobles."
Knowing that the surrounding army has been slowly surrounded, His Royal Highness the King also threw away the illusion in his heart, and now he has a shortage of troops in his hands, but Nanzhao Wangcheng is the largest city in the entire Nanzhao country, and the number of young and middle-aged people in the city is quite a lot, whether it is a dignitary or a peddler pawn, at this time they must find out their young and middle-aged people, even if they go to the city wall as cannon fodder, it must be dragged down.
According to His Royal Highness the King's thoughts, he has already sent a letter to the Tang Dynasty, and the conditions written on it have reached the limit, Li Xiang is an ambitious person, and he is ambitious for the entire Nanzhao Kingdom, if he wants to expand the power of the Tang Dynasty, then now is an excellent opportunity, but he must persevere, if he surrenders now, when Li Xiang hears the news, I am afraid he will not operate this matter.
As long as his side is still insisting, then Li Xiang will definitely transfer troops from Sichuan, and it will take half a month to calculate the days, as long as he can hold out for half a month, when the Tang Heavenly Army arrives, no matter how many troops there are in the old second-hand army, I am afraid that they will be defeated by the Tang Army.
There is nothing wrong with His Royal Highness the King's idea, and King Zhennan also knows that Datang is not a vegetarian there, if there is such a good opportunity, they will definitely get involved, what is it to marry a princess? In the hearts of these people in power, the weight of a princess is not even as good as that of several county seats, only the territory and the people are real assets, and a woman is nothing in their eyes.
Therefore, the king of Zhennan must have to fight quickly, now one side wants to solve it quickly, and the other side wants to drag this matter down, whoever can follow his own ideas will be able to win the final victory.
When King Nanzhao came to the city wall, he was also stunned by everything in front of him, he didn't expect that the people under King Zhennan would move so fast, according to the budget he had made before, it would take at least five or six days to be able to assemble, but he didn't expect that tens of thousands of troops had been assembled in one night, and these troops were all carrying siege ladders.
Of course, the army subordinate to the king was not afraid, they had known for a long time that there would be such a day, and there were many things prepared on the city walls, and a great purge had been carried out just now, and about six hundred officers and soldiers were taken under the walls, and now they were more than six hundred dead bodies.
These people are all people who are closer to the king of Zhennan, and they are also the first people to die in the military confrontation between the two sides, if you don't kill these people, when the war starts later, who knows what these people will do, maybe they will run over and suddenly open the city gate, at that time, the cavalry of the king of Zhennan will charge again, and we are still guarding a fart city.
Therefore, His Royal Highness the King immediately decided, no matter what kind of background these people have, and no matter what relationship these people have with the royal family, as long as they have a good relationship with King Zhennan, then they must be killed first.
