The entire Bianliang City was besieged, but hundreds of thousands of Tang troops did not launch a large-scale siege battle, and attacked Bianliang City without a match.

This situation made the monarchs and ministers of Yu State unable to understand that in the palace of Yu State in Bianliang City, the atmosphere was still peaceful and quiet, but there was a trace of weirdness.

In the inner hall, Wei Siqi was wrapped in a big body, half-leaning and half-leaning on the couch. In the four corners of the inner sanctum, there are charcoal braziers, and the stones inside are burning vigorously.

The crown prince Wei Li knelt on the edge of the bed, and he was already sweating profusely in thin clothes. But he didn't dare to wipe it.

At this time, Wei Siqi had long since lost the spirit of ascending the throne and claiming the throne and seizing Bianliang. His face was as pale as paper, and there was not much blood to be seen. His lips were chapped, and there was not much sparkle in his eyes.

Since that day, when he saw Ling Huyi's head, although Wei Siqi was mostly angry at that time, he returned to the palace and fell seriously ill. In just a few days, Wei Siqi's condition worsened. I invited all the famous doctors who could be invited in Bianliang City, and I estimated that I drank more than two large buckets of decoction, but I didn't get any better.

"Li Er ......"

Hearing Wei Siqi's call, Wei Li stepped forward to hold his father's hand, and choked up, "Father, son...... The son is in ......."

Imperial Physician Ling once said to Wei Li privately that Wei Siqi was attacking the heart with internal fire, and the effect of the medicine stone was minimal.

To put it bluntly, it's heart disease......

Wei Siqi asked, "Is there any report on today's battle?"

Wei Li listened to his father's inquiry, and did not answer, but handed over the decoction that had become warm on the side, and persuaded, "Father, it's time to drink the medicine."

Waiting for Wei Siqi to grit his teeth and pour a bowl of black and thick medicinal soup into his stomach, Wei Li said slowly: "On the third day of the first month of November, the Tang army had already captured Chenliu County, and then it only took seven days, and Chen Liu's defeat was subsequent, but now it is October 11, and the battle report has been sent to Bianliang City......

Wei Siqi's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked, "What does Li Er want to say?"

Wei Li pondered and said, "Father, Chen Liu is only more than a hundred miles away from Bianliang, how can such a military situation be delayed for three days? And the messenger said that they had already crossed the county boundary, but suddenly an unknown stream of thieves appeared, and if he had not seen the opportunity quickly, he would have been dead long ago...... Therefore, the sons thought that there must be important ministers in Chenliu County, and even in Bianliang City, who should be ...... within the Tang army."

Wei Siqi's face suddenly darkened a little, faintly revealing gray energy. After being silent for a long time, he squeezed the corners of his mouth: "It's not ......."

"Father?"

Wei Li's face was full of astonishment, and he looked at his father in disbelief.

When he just claimed that the emperor captured Bianliang City, it was just a few rumors, but his father and emperor made a big move, and almost imprisoned all the princes and princesses of the Wei clan in the palace. Later, with lightning speed, the crown prince of the first emperor Wei Sinian died in Genyue, which can be described as a vigorous and resolute action.

And now that the Tang army is approaching the city, there are all kinds of signs that there are important ministers colluding with the Tang army, and his father doesn't believe it? Could it really be that when the Tang army entered Bianliang City, his father would wake up?

As soon as such a thought came to his heart, it was like thunder, and a "bang" suddenly sounded in Wei Li's ears.

Winter Thunder?

No......

This bright moon, this sky full of stars, where does the "thunder" come from?

Suddenly, like an earth dragon turning over, there were tremors under Wei Li's feet, Wei Li's face suddenly stiffened, and a layer of white sweat oozed from his forehead.

This is trebuchet...... Stone artillery of the Tang Army!

In these days, every time the Tang army attacked the city, it would first launch stone cannons, throwing stones to smash the city walls and the city, and its momentum was the same as the situation at this time......

"Father's ......"

Wei Li was excited, grabbed the bed in three or two steps, pulled Wei Siqi up, and said urgently, "Father...... Tang Jun...... It's Tang Jun...... I must have entered the city, otherwise the tremor would not have been so clear...... This...... How's that good?"

Wei Siqi was surprisingly quiet, looked at Wei Li faintly, and said indifferently: "Wei Hua is the head of the palace and the responsibility of the palace ban, but you came to ask me?"

Wei Li's face was inexplicably surprised, and he thought to himself: I don't ask who you ask...... Is his father crazy? Yes, he must be crazy, otherwise why is he so calm?

Just as he was suspicious, someone outside the palace suddenly shouted: "Your Highness, there is a sudden fire outside the palace, and there are ...... in all directions If I want to go out of the palace to rescue, please ask Your Highness to show you......

It was General Yuzhi who came, and the highness in his mouth was naturally Wei Li.

Wei Li looked at Wei Siqi in surprise and suspicion, but Wei Siqi looked at him like a fool.

"Li'er, what are you waiting for?"

Wei Li thought to himself: Father, what can the sons wait for except for you to show them?

Wei Li gritted his teeth violently, Huo Ran got up, and said, "Father, take care...... Zongcheng! Order all battalions to guard the palace gate, and dare to retreat half a step and kill without mercy......

With the roar, Wei Li had already rushed out of the main hall. The door of the hall was opened, and it could still be seen that the fire in the west chamber of the city was all over the sky, and even the moonlight was covered.

There was a faint sound of shouting and killing in his ears......

Wei Siqi's hands trembled slightly, reached into his arms, and took out an envelope.

The cover is stained with a little bloodstain, and a few small words like a knife and an axe can be faintly seen: Emperor Yu personally opened, and Emperor Zhong Ming of Tang worshipped ......

Zhong Ming...... Zhong Ming?

Zhong Ming is Wang Rong's words, and this letter is also written by Wang Rong himself, that unique handwriting, Wei Siqi knows, even if it turns into ashes, he will not admit it.

However, the moment before Wei Li entered the palace, this letter suddenly appeared next to his bed?

Doesn't it mean that if Wang Wei is willing, he will take away his head at any time?

There is no need to read what is written in the letter, it is nothing more than a word of persuasion. Looking at the fire outside the palace and the sharp shouting of killing, Wei Siqi only felt that all thoughts were lost, and his heart shrank sharply, and with a "wow", it was like a rain of blood falling in front of the bed......

"Huh...... Hehehe...... Grandpa, my descendants have a heavy trust...... It's ......."

He staggered to his feet, lifted the oil lamp on the edge of the eucalyptus, leaned closer to the veil, and laughed wildly as he lit the fire: "Ancestors, your descendants have a burden...... There is a heavy trust......"

"Your Highness, look......

Wei Li turned around suddenly, but it was like being struck by lightning.

Yeonbok Palace, Gyeongbokgung Palace, and Chongzheng Hall have become a sea of fire......

Father, why is this so?

"Li'er, what are you waiting for?"

So this sentence is so intended?

Or not......

Wei Li wiped a handful of tears and roared sharply: "Kill the enemy and serve the country, at this time......

The defenders put on a posture of fighting for their lives, and their bows and arrows were extremely dense.

Several bed crossbows were also activated, and several crossbow guns were fired in a strange creaking sound.

It's a little more powerful than a crossbow, but it's also very powerful.

The range is more than 100 paces, and occasionally one or two are a little stronger, and you have to be lucky to shoot one or two horses. But at most, it is to dismount the knight, or knock the horse down, and there are no casualties at all.

The reason for this is that the age of this thing goes back decades, and after the expansion of Bianliang City, this thing became useless.

But because it was a heavy weapon on the military register, it could neither be lost, nor dared to dismantle it, so the new Bianliang garrison envoy moved these outdated equipment into the arsenal, and a pile of them was ten years, and they were left to eat ashes.

After Wei Siqi captured Bianliang City, Wei Hua checked the arsenal before turning it over, and asked the craftsmen to put it together, and nearly fifty pairs of old bed crossbows were made up of seven or eight pairs.

But for ten years, even the iron has been rusted, not to mention the wood, or the fight, how much power can it have?

To be able to shoot a crossbow gun, and to shoot a hundred and ten steps away, is already a craftsman and a pedant, racking his brains. Wei Hua can only talk better than nothing, and put it on the city wall to strengthen the army.

Wei Hua hid behind the crossbow on the bed, his eyes squinting at two slits, staring tightly in the northwest direction. But the more he watched, the more frightened he became.

Arrows rained down like locusts, wave after wave of the city. Although the enemy formation is extremely sparse, fortunately, the rain of arrows is extremely dense, and there are many troops in front of the city

Shot like a hedgehog. From time to time, a crossbow gun would be fired and knock the enemy horse over.

But the strange thing is that the enemy army neither counterattacks, such as throwing bows into the city, nor dodging, as if resigned to fate.

If it doesn't work, you should move the front back and avoid the range of the defenders' direct fire, right?

At this time, the west and north chambers of the city were already raining arrows, and even the bed crossbows were moved out, and the east and south chambers of the city were still immovable. Anyone who is the commander of the enemy army should suspect that the defenders should break through to the west or to the north.

But what is the situation under the city, and what is still the case at this time, the enemy general did not transfer an additional soldier from the east and south sides of the city to the west and north of the city to reinforce, or patrolled behind the formation to intercept.

Wei Hua couldn't figure it out: did the enemy commander think that this was a suspicious plan, or did he think that he had a chance to win, and decided that it was a breakthrough in the city, no matter from which side, it was impossible to succeed?

Staring at the banner behind the enemy, Wei Hua's brows became tighter and tighter.

If it is really the Tang Army, there must be firearms to help. But when I looked at it, I didn't see anything like the small stone cannons and oil canisters that I had seen many times in the secret work of the Xuande Division.

But can't wait any longer. God knows where and how many reinforcements have arrived. Every extra moment of time is lost, and the hope of escape is slim. In this case, simply calculate?

The east chamber of the city is just that, and if you go out of the city from the north gate, you can also escape the interception of the Tang army, or escape to Suiyang. At least he could escape the Luan of the Tang Emperor......

Wei Hua gritted his teeth and shouted in a deep voice, "Wei Long!"

A military general took two quick steps and responded with a fist, "Master Hou!"

"Where is the Iron Army?"

"I have assembled under the city, just waiting for the Hou Ye's order!"

"Let's go, go to Southtown!"

Wei Hua took three steps and made two steps, and quickly went down to the city. A group of guards followed closely behind, escorting him to the south of the city.

"Xing's garrison envoy, the commander has an order: order all the soldiers in the west and north cities who can hold bows to move to the south city......

Fang just made himself throw in, and when was it time, and he had to change his guard to Nancheng?

What kind of trick is this Wei Hua doing?

Xing Xiong, the new Bianliang garrison, was puzzled and asked, "General Wei, dare to ask where the commander is?"

"Just in the south city, waiting for the garrison!"

"And who's stationed here?"

"Naturally, it will be replaced by Master Hou!"

Wei Long pointed to the city, "When the two cities change defenses and the garrison attacks the southern city, the enemy in the northern city will definitely relax, and then it will be a good opportunity to break through, and a certain will lead more than 1,000 armored cavalry to rush straight into the enemy formation."

No matter how thick the enemy's thief armor is strong, but there are only more than a thousand, and the city wall that has to be besieged for four or five miles, how thick can the formation be? It will be able to collapse in one rush...... When a certain breakthrough is made, Hou Ye will take advantage of the chaos of the enemy and thieves to close the city gate......

Xing Xiong followed the direction of Wei Long's finger and looked down the city. Indeed, as he said, the city wall is only a city wall that is more than four miles long, and the enemy cavalry is only more than a thousand.

It is also strange that he has never seen such a battle, and the enemy general never thought that the defenders would send cavalry to break through?

Or does the enemy still think that the inner city of Bianliang is as in previous years, with no more than 1,000 guards, few armor pairs, and few horses, and can be trapped to death by only a few thousand cavalry?

Xing Xiong guessed the enemy's formation, but he never thought that Wei Hua would play tricks. As soon as he hurriedly responded, he hurriedly shouted and shouted that the archers in the city moved to the southern city.
