As the old saying goes: husband fights, courage also. One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion.

Xiang Chengjun and Huai'an Army are like this now. In the past ten days, they launched nearly 100 attacks on the forbidden army defending the city, but they did not get the desired results. Although the forbidden army suffered heavy casualties, with the support of hundreds of thousands of people in the capital, it could still stop the rebels, and the depleted rebels could not be replenished.

Platoon ballistae showed great power in defending the city, and one platoon ballista could withstand a dozen archers, which greatly alleviated the numerical disadvantage of the forbidden army and also reduced the casualties of the forbidden army.

Because of this, the morale of the rebels gradually weakened after repeated defeats.

The battle has been so fierce these days, but King Cheng has never shown up. Bai Han went to see King Cheng and did not bring back useful news. Bai Hao also went to the Temple of Mercy and Grace in person, and King Cheng told him that he would attack at any cost, as long as he entered the capital, even if he was defeated by Cheng Jun, it didn't matter, and when he sat on the throne, he was afraid that there would be no soldiers and horses?

It really doesn't matter if Xiang Cheng defeated Bai Hao, since he decided to follow Cheng Wang to raise troops, there is no way to retreat, if he can't succeed, what is the use of leaving more soldiers and horses? So from the beginning, Bai Hao ordered Xiang Cheng to attack the city at any cost. But the problem is that after fighting for so long and losing so many soldiers and horses, he has not seen the hope of breaking the city, but his morale is getting worse day by day, how can he attack the capital if he continues like this? What worries Bai Hao even more is the change in the attitude of King Cheng.

When King Cheng conspired with Bai Hao before, he told a near-perfect plan, but when he really started the army, all his plans fell through. After the failure, King Cheng didn't think about how to make up for it, but kept hiding in the Temple of Mercy and Grace and ignoring the situation outside, as if this uprising had nothing to do with him. Bai Hao was furious in his heart, but he didn't turn back when he opened the bow, since he had embarked on the road of rebellion, he had to go on hard no matter what the road ahead was. Fortunately, the Huai'an army is also involved, even if the city defense cannot be broken at the moment, the capital will be trapped to death.

The rebels' attacks were mainly aimed at the north and south gates, and after a few days, Lu Guiyuan asked Han Tong to divide the Huai'an army into 20,000 and go to the east and west gates. The 20,000 soldiers and horses only made a tentative attack on the east and west gates, and then guarded outside the city, and their more intention was to contain the forbidden army of these two large battalions and prevent them from supporting the north and south gates.

Bai Hao couldn't understand King Cheng, and Lu Guiyuan couldn't understand the person behind King Cheng. Lu Guiyuan knew that everything King Cheng did came from that person, because he was also subject to that person. Originally, Lu Guiyuan thought that the man really wanted King Cheng to seize the throne by raising troops, but this is not the case now. If you really want to break through the city defense and attack the capital, it is impossible for that person and King Cheng to stay in the Ci'en Temple for so many days to supervise the battle, and not take measures when the attack cannot be taken for a long time.

On the second day after coming to the capital, Lu Guiyuan went to the Ci'en Temple to see the man, but the man only gave him the antidote he took on time and did not communicate with him too much. He and King Cheng are also the tools of that person, but that person and King Cheng are still related by blood after all, but he is an out-and-out outsider.

Compared with the north gate, the Huai'an army's attack at the south gate was more fierce. If you want to stop being a tool, you can only attack the capital and ascend to the supreme position, so that Lu Guiyuan will have the capital to negotiate with the Yue clan Da Tusi, and only then can he hope to completely remove the poison on his body.

Taking a step back, even if you can't seize the throne, you have to find a way to capture Ji Xuan. Looking at the world, the people who can detoxify his body, except for the Yue family, there is only the innocent son, and if you capture Ji Xuan, you can coerce the innocent son to detoxify him.

Now that I think about it, Lu Guiyuan still regrets meeting that person and cooperating with him. I thought I had met a chance, but who knew that it had become someone else's tool. If it weren't for being controlled by this person all these years, his dream of dominating the rivers and lakes would have come true.

What a great and beautiful dream!

If he hadn't been injured in the siege of Liyang Shen Mansion, he would have unified the rivers and lakes according to the momentum at that time, so Lu Guiyuan hated Shen Mansion very much.

That injury directly caused the Tianyi Sect to give up all actions, and Lu Guiyuan, who was eager to heal the sword wound, happened to meet that person. Although that person was disabled, the strong martial arts he showed were something Lu Guiyuan had never seen. That person's martial arts are probably unmatched in the entire rivers and lakes, if he learns to dominate the rivers and lakes, will it be difficult?

So when that person put forward extremely harsh conditions before he was willing to pass on his martial arts to Lu Guiyuan, Lu Guiyuan agreed without hesitation, who knows...... Who knew that the man did not teach him all the martial arts, but controlled him with poison.

Lu Guiyuan carefully looked at the bottle of pill in his hand by the dim candlelight, he had found many people for so many years, but he couldn't research this antidote.

Shaking his head, sighing, and unintentional, Lu Guiyuan summoned Elder Mei Zuo Yufei and others to tell him his plan.

......

There is another person who can't understand Cheng Wang, that is Ji Xuan, and he doesn't understand why Cheng Wang hasn't shown up until now.

Since the rebellion should be a quick battle, so as not to have many dreams at night, but King Cheng doesn't seem to think so. Could it be that he has any other backhand?

For so many days, although the rebels failed to break through the defense line of the forbidden army, the forbidden army suffered heavy casualties, and no one knows how long it could hold out. What's more, he couldn't see through what kind of backhand King Cheng had, so Ji Xuan was eagerly looking forward to Zheng Tai being able to rush back with reinforcements.

Zheng Tai didn't have any news back, but Ji Xuan ushered in the Innocent Son, Master Kurong and Ding Muxi and others.

The Innocent Son rushed to the capital after separating from Chen Qi in Ganzhou, and on the second day of his arrival in the capital, Master Kurong and others also arrived.

The innocent son is one person, but Master Kurong is with nearly a hundred heroes. Although the number of people was small, it still encouraged Ji Xuan.

The arrival of the innocent son is first of all to treat the old emperor, if the old emperor can wake up at this time, it will be a huge benefit for the entire Great Wei court, and it will be a huge blow to the rebels.

The innocent son knew the old emperor's illness very well, and he was the one who saved the old emperor's life. The medicine taken by these old emperors is also made by innocent sons.

But even so, the innocent son is not very sure that the old emperor can wake up immediately. But with the arrival of Master Kurong, the innocent son has a helper, and he is Master Kurong's younger brother, Master Kushu.

There will inevitably be casualties in the war, and the monks are compassionate, so Master Kurong sent a letter to Xixia Temple and asked Master Kurong to bring a few disciples of the Medicinal Dining Hall to the capital to treat the injured.

Two of the strongest healers in the world today treated the old emperor together, so two days after administering the needle and medicine, the old emperor showed signs of awakening tonight.
