Chapter 1209 - Only One Wave
Bai You quickly came to the Jing Palace and found Princess Jing.
"There are 40,000 troops coming to attack Wudu City." Bai You said urgently.
"What?"
"It's from Huazhou, Wind Thunder Camp. I can't trust those civil and military officials in the imperial city. Princess Jing, can you please lead the Praetorian Guards to battle?" Bai You asked.
Wudu City has a sufficient amount of weapons and equipment, as long as it is properly commanded, the army of the 40,000 Wind and Thunder Battalion will not be able to get within 400 steps of Wudu City at all.
The reason why Bai You didn't look for others was not because he didn't believe in other people's abilities.
There are also people who can fight the defensive battle of Wudu City, but those people are all Wen Shizhong's people.
She was worried that Liu Ru would collude with them to open the city and lure the wolf into the house.
She planned to be in charge of the two city walls herself, and Princess Jing would be in charge of the two city walls, so that nothing would go wrong.
"However, I no longer have the right to command the army. If Bai Sacrificial Wine asks me to go up to the city wall, the emperor may ......," Princess Jing said.
The power in her hands has long been taken away, and now it is almost a vase.
If she is allowed to return to the Praetorian Guard now, Bai You may be held accountable in the future.
"It's a critical juncture." Bai You said.
"But I really can't take charge of the army, it's taboo." Xiao Xinrou said.
Xiao Jinghan guarded her sister so hard that even the control of the Ouchi guards was taken away.
Now put her in charge of the Praetorian Guard?
What if Xiao Jinghan thinks she is antipathetic?
Although Xiao Xinrou didn't want to rebel, as long as she was in the military now, she couldn't run.
Although Bai You is young, he is also well versed in the doorways.
If it weren't for the way out, she wouldn't have come to embarrass Xiao Xinrou.
Xiao Xinrou touched the military power today, and when Xiao Jinghan returns tomorrow, she will definitely find a reason to liquidate.
"In this way, after defending Wudu City, I will send you out of Wudu City." Bai You said.
"Huh?"
Xiao Xinrou didn't expect that Bai You would actually make such a suggestion.
Where can I go if I leave Wudu City?
In fact, Xiao Xinrou is a woman, but she also has certain ambitions in her heart.
Her ability has not been bad since she was a child, she is deeply favored by Emperor Jingyang, and when she was a teenager, she began to be in charge of the inner guards.
It's just that now, in this great country, the country will not be a country......
Now she has helped Xiao Jinghan defend Wudu City, but she will flee tomorrow?
Xiao Xinrou thinks that it is not a taste.
"It's not difficult to defend Wudu City." Xiao Xinrou said.
"Yes, there are many people who have this ability. However, I am afraid that they will open the city and let the thunder camp enter the city. So except for you, Princess Jing, I can't trust anyone. After defending Wudu City, you will go to the north and defect to Su Xuan. It's the best place for you." Bai You said.
"But ......"
"Princess Jing, even if you continue to stay in Wudu City, you will still be imprisoned, and the emperor will not give you the slightest chance. In today's situation, taking refuge in Su Xuan is the best policy." Bai You said.
"This ......"
Xiao Xinrou was a little undecided.
She didn't have any opinion on going to Su Xuan, she and Su Xuan did get along.
But she is the princess of the Great Yan Dynasty!
Isn't fleeing a mutiny?
"At this time, Her Royal Highness doesn't need to have any more mental baggage. Fortunately, there is still a place to go, otherwise, Princess Jing would be wandering to the end of the world in addition to being imprisoned to death." Bai You said.
Xiao Xinrou couldn't deny that Bai You's words made sense.
Being confined in the deep palace, staring at countless pairs of eyes all the time, and unable to do anything, this really made her very uncomfortable.
"If you go to Yanzhou, maybe Princess Jing can find your next goal in life. The world is so big that it is not only Wudu City." Bai You said.
「
But what about you? You took me and let me go. Although I personally don't pose any threat to the imperial power, in the eyes of the emperor, you are just letting the tiger go back to the mountain!" Xiao Xinrou said.
Bai Yu was contemplative, a little uncomfortable.
"White sacrificial wine, it's not as good as this. After defending Wudu City and repelling the Wind and Thunder Battalion, you and I will run to the north together! The situation you just said about me is not your situation?" Xiao Xinrou said.
"This ......"
Now it's Bai You's turn to be embarrassed.
Her idea is that even if she wants to leave, she will submit her resignation in a dignified manner.
"Is there anything else to consider? I was imprisoned in the deep palace, and although you were not imprisoned, you have long been emptied. As you said, if you go to Yanzhou, you can fulfill your ambitions and find your next goal in life." Xiao Xinrou said.
Bai You thought about it, this is the truth.
In fact, she wanted to leave a long time ago.
It's just that he still has a trace of expectation for the Great Yan Dynasty in his heart.
However, today, this expectation is getting smaller and smaller.
She actually knew that the Great Yan Dynasty had no hope.
"Good! Defeat the Wind and Thunder Camp, and let's go to Su Xuan together!" Bai You made up his mind.
"Good! It's a word!"
"It's a deal!"
Bai You and Xiao Jinghan both climbed the city wall.
Cheng Ying is still very cautious, looking at the incomparably tall city in front of him, Cheng Ying can't help but sigh, it is worthy of being the largest city in the Great Yan Dynasty, how majestic is this?
That city, standing under the darkness of the night, gave people an extremely heavy and solemn feeling.
It is rumored that the White Emperor City, the first city in the world that day, was several times taller than the Wudu City.
Cheng Ying thought to himself, such a fortified city, with his 40,000 troops, it was completely impossible to break through.
Wudu City is located in the Central Plains, who can break it?
No, the British are here, and they should try it.
He has been training for so many years, so he has to let the soldiers under him have a long experience, right?
We have to let them take a good look at how difficult this Wudu City is to attack.
In this way, they will practice harder in the future.
"Third child, have you ever been to Wudu City?" Cheng Ying asked.
"No, it's the first time. Big brother, Wudu City is so tall? It seems that we have only 40,000 of them, and it will be difficult to take them." Liu Qian said faintly.
"I didn't plan to take Wudu City. But it's all here, give it a try! Take a detachment of men and horses around the northern wall, and I'll fight on the south." Cheng Ying said.
"The whole army presses down?" Liu Qian asked.
"Yes, the whole army presses! Remember, only one wave, whether you can take it down or not, you have to pull it down! We must not kill or wound too many brothers tonight!" Cheng Ying said.
"Don't worry, big brother, I wrote it down."
After that, Liu Qian led an army of 20,000 and went around the north of Wudu City.
Cheng Ying rode forward and stepped out of the queue.
He drew his saber from his waist, and the soldiers behind him were eager to try.
"Siege."
Cheng Ying gave an order, took the lead, and launched a charge towards Wudu City.
The Wind Thunder Army suddenly erupted with an earth-shaking cry, surging in the direction of Wudu City like a tide.
Don't think that the number of 20,000 people is very small, and launching a charge at the same time is actually a large area of Wuwu pressing.
On the city wall, Bai You personally sat in charge.
She looked at the black tide that was surging over with a solemn expression.
It was her first time fighting, but she didn't think it would be the last.
She glanced left and right, and all the defenders on the city wall were ready.
Rows of bed crossbows and divine arm crossbows, thick arrows have been set up, pointing out of the city, the cold light is shining, and the murderous aura is fierce.
A few years ago, the most powerful weapon in Wudu City was the Divine Arm Crossbow, and there were not many of them, and they also needed to use all kinds of crashes and stones
The machine was equipped on the city walls.
It's only been a few years now? The trebuchet in Wudu City has long been placed in the warehouse to eat ashes.
This row of divine arm crossbows is actually lagging behind.
The bed crossbow is the main weapon in Wudu City.
As long as the production capacity of the underground factory comes up, these god arm crossbows will also be eliminated.
It won't be long before the sharp weapons on Wudu City will become all bed crossbows.
And this weapon was invented by Su Xuan.
Bai You thought about it, in the past, Su Xuan relied on Yang Cheng and others to do business for him.
At that time, Wudu City was far more prosperous than it is now.
And now the source of funding for these weapons is the hard-earned money of ordinary people.
And the vast number of ordinary people who have been sucked of their hard-earned money have no way to live, and they have taken up arms and rebelled.
Now Bai You wants the weapon made by the money he snatched from the pockets of the common people, and he is aimed at the common people in the past.
This question can't help but cause Bai You to think deeply.
What's going on?
Looking at the offensive like the tide, Bai You thought of a truth, the king is the boat, the people are the water, and the water can carry the boat and overturn the boat.
The Great Yan Dynasty has indeed reached the point of no return.
If Liu Ru could tell her the truth just now, maybe she would be moved by Liu Ru is words.
It's a pity that although Liu Ru can speak well, she doesn't have such a profound ideological awareness.
His mind is full of dragon slaying, where will he ponder these truths?
"Shoot the arrows."
Bai You still gave the order to attack.
The bed crossbow was the first to shoot at the city, and the thick arrows shot past, and the shield soldiers who rushed to the front were shot over, along with the shields.
However, the Wind Thunder Army was not repulsed, and the speed of the charge was even faster.
In the blink of an eye, the tide-like wind and thunder army was less than two hundred steps away from the city.
Next, the Divine Arm Crossbow also joined the attack.
Originally, Bai You thought that with so many weapons of suppression, the Wind Thunder Army would not be able to touch the edge of the city wall.
But she underestimated the other party's determination.
The wind and thunder camp braved the rain of arrows, and forcibly filled a road with human lives, and touched the city wall.
The ladder had been erected, and the Wind Thunder Army began to climb the city wall.
All kinds of castle defense equipment were all thrown into battle for a while.
Looking at the scene of the Wind Thunder Army being shot one after another, corpses all over the field, and rivers of blood, Bai You didn't know why, and two lines of tears flowed from his eyes.
She stood on the city wall and commanded the battle, but her heart was like a knife, and the pain was unbearable.
