The prince has an order, and the first soldier to attack the city wall will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold, and the official will be knighted. ”

"Capture the faint monarch alive, reward 100,000 taels of gold, and seal the marquis of 10,000 households."

The generals under Li Yunlong, Lu Gui, Jiangzhou, Chen Meng, Jin Qing, the generals under Li Qing, Wu Renhao, and Xue Pingfang waved the blade in their hands and pointed at the city wall.

Commanding the officers and men of the three armies, they began to attack the city again.

On the city wall, Li Baiyu's armor has long been unable to see its original appearance, and the helmet on his head is nowhere to be seen, and his cloak is scattered, like a mad demon.

The Son of Heaven in his hand was also stained with the blood of the rebel soldiers, and the blood stains on the hilt of the sword had dried up to black.

Hearing the sound of war drums for launching an attack again outside the city, Li Baiyu slowly stood up straightened with his hands on the battlements, gently stroked the snow on the city wall, and sneered.

"There is no truce on the first day of the new year, how you long for this chair."

Qingyuan waited for Yan Benji, and Guan Ning waited for Lu Tao to run towards Li Baiyu from both sides.

"Your Majesty, the rebels have launched into the palace again, you must be careful."

All the soldiers on the city wall these days know that their majesty is not a weak person who is powerless, but a small master who has reached the fifth grade.

Knowing this, Yan Benmo and the two were still a little worried about Li Baiyu's safety, and ran over to warn Li Baiyu again not to take it lightly.

Li Baiyu held the battlements with the sword of the Son of Heaven in his hand, staring at the rebels who were slowly approaching under the city wall.

"Two Aiqing, how many days?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it's been twenty-three days, we've been resisting for twenty-three days, and there are still seventeen days before King Qin's army can arrive, we will definitely be able to hold the Jingshi and wait for reinforcements to arrive to quell the rebellion."

"Today is the day of my accession to the throne, and I should have celebrated the festival successfully, but I didn't expect to have to fight the enemy on the city wall, which is really an unforgettable day."

"How many Praetorian Guards are left?"

Lu Tao and Yan Benmo were stunned, their faces were both sad and sad.

"There are more than 57,000 people, and there are only more than 40,000 people left who can still fight, if it weren't for the indefinite snow for seven days, so that the rebels could not attack the city, I am afraid that there are at most 40,000 brothers now."

Li Baiyu's tiger body was shocked, and he laughed miserably: "How many rebels are left?" ”

"About 200,000, the casualties of the government soldiers are almost over, and the rest are elite divisions, thirteen days, we should be able to withstand it."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, even if the old minister dies in battle, he will send Your Majesty out of the city, as long as you join the army of King Qin, Your Majesty will definitely be able to recapture Jiangshan Sheji."

Jing Yuan waited for Chen Jin to run over with a sword: "Your Majesty, Lord Song Yu, the secretary of the military department, has led 30,000 soldiers to patrol the city on the city wall, and they have already settled in the west city gate!" ”

Li Baiyu sighed slowly: "There are 30,000 more soldiers guarding the city, and it has increased the chance of winning by 30%." ”

"The enemy is within range."

With the shouts of the lookouts, the walls of the city were immediately put on guard.

Li Baiyu stood aside and waited for the three veteran generals of the Golden Scriptures to give orders.

Lu Tao, as the guard of the South City Gate, waved the order flag in his hand without giving up: "Tear off the felt on the artillery to block the snow and open fire." ”

Qingyuan waited for Yan Benji, and Jingyuan waited for Chen Jin to also run towards their respective positions to command the soldiers to defend the city.

Today's situation does not allow for the slightest carelessness.

The momentum of this attack is much more ferocious than the previous ones, as Lu Tao said, the rest are elite.

Fortunately, apart from trebuchets, the rebels have not used artillery as a siege weapon for more than 20 days, which has to make the Praetorian Guards on the city walls breathe a sigh of relief.

Compared with the previous government soldiers, the siege army did not stop at all in the face of the shells that fell from the city wall, and launched a charge without any death.

Although he died a heavy death, his momentum far exceeded the momentum of those government soldiers.

"Archer, three shots in a row, covered with a rain of arrows."

The overwhelming rain of arrows broke through the sky towards the rebels outside the city, and the rebels' sword and shield soldiers immediately raised their shields and began to defend.

As soon as the rain of arrows on the city wall ended, the rebel archers under the city immediately began to return fire, and there was a continuous scream of arrows on the city wall.

At the moment when the rain of arrows ended, ladders and siege engines began to appear under the city walls, and the blackened rebels began to wave their blades and climb up to the city walls.

"Gold juice, fire oil preparation, burned their siege engines and ladders. Spearmen are ready, ready to kill the enemy at any time. ”

"Report, there is not much left of the thunder stone rolling wood!"

Li Baiyu frowned: "Lu Aiqing, order the auxiliary soldiers to dismantle the inner wall city ladder city bricks and use them as thunderstone rolling logs." ”

Lu Tao hesitated and nodded: "Obey." ”

The moment the oil was poured on the ladder, the Praetorian Guard raised the torch from the brazier and lit it.

At the slightest touch, the fire burned down the ladder, and the rebels who were still on the ladder were surrounded by fire before they could retreat.

"Throw fire oil and rockets at the rebels under the city."

Many soldiers held the altar and poured fire oil on the jar, and then smashed the jar towards the city.

Many of the Praetorian Guards, who had not had time to retract their bodies, were directly swept through by the rain of suppressed arrows under the city walls, and were killed on the spot.

Then the rockets on the city wall covered it, and as soon as the rockets landed, they ignited countless flames.

A fire also burned above the surface of the moat, which was caused by the oil floating on the water.

A continuous burst of fire completely cut off the rebels outside the city from attacking the city, and many rebels could only watch as the brothers who were rolling in the flames and screaming were burned alive.

The howls of the retreating soldiers rang out again from the rebel camp outside the city.

The rebels slowly retreated as they guarded against the arrows on the walls.

The moment the rebels retreated, countless green bricks were carried up the city wall by the auxiliaries.

Looking at the retreating rebels outside the city, Li Baiyu wiped the blood stains on the sword of the Son of Heaven with his cloak, and sat on the city wall leaning on the battlements.

Resisted for a long time.

"Report, there's not much oil."

"Reported, the arrows can last seven days at most."

Li Baiyu listened to the reports of the soldiers, his heart was extremely sour, and he slowly closed his eyes.

The capital is now an isolated city, and the materials in the city are used a little less, and there is no replenishment at all.

"Brother-in-law, uncle, Yun Lao Aiqing, when will you arrive, I can't bear it."

There was a sudden chaotic sound in the city, Li Baiyu was shocked and hurriedly opened his eyes, could it be that the people in the city couldn't bear the pressure and set off a civil change?

If this is the case, the capital will really have internal and external troubles.

Li Baiyu, who had just killed seven enemy soldiers, was physically and mentally exhausted, but he had to get up and walk towards the city ladder, eager to know what was going on.

"Report, Your Majesty, General Qiyu, the people in the city have gathered towards the city wall gate, not to mention about 350,000 people."

The thought of the people's rebellion once again surged into Li Baiyu's heart, and the arm holding the sword of the Son of Heaven trembled imperceptibly.

"Report, Your Majesty!"

"Speak quickly!"

"Your Majesty, the people in the city spontaneously went out to bring us dumplings."

"They said that today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the soldiers cannot be allowed to defend the city on an empty stomach, so they have brought dumplings to the brothers."

Li Baiyu was stunned, and the corners of his mouth trembled and looked towards the city.

Looking at the groups of people who kept putting dumpling bowls in the hands of the Praetorian Guards, Li Baiyu's eyes suddenly became a little sour.

Li Baiyu closed his eyes and took a deep breath, forcibly putting the mist in.

It was not in vain that I did not abandon the city and flee.

The people's aspirations, the people's aspirations, why worry about the uncertain situation.

Scanning the corpses of the Praetorian Guards who were carried by the auxiliaries under the city walls, Li Baiyu felt extremely sad in his heart.

In just half a day, another group of soldiers sacrificed their lives for the country.

Li Baiyu held the sword of the Son of Heaven and stopped in front of the pillar of the city tower, and the sword in his hand waved gently, leaving four lines of big characters on the pillar on both sides.

"Taihe Emperor Li Baiyu tells future generations!"

"I hope that the morning sun will shine on my land, and don't forget the blood of the martyrs."

"Defend the family and the country!"
