The world’s doubts

King Yan Liu Dan always firmly believed that the emperor was not the son of the previous emperor.

Today, he is still actively communicating with all parties in an attempt to overthrow the current emperor.

"According to the intelligence gathered by Qian Niuwei, King Yan has now gathered 40,000 troops, and they are all elites!"

After listening to Zhang Yue's introduction, Liu Yi remained silent.

At this moment, he remembered the inquiries from the clan members yesterday.

People from Zhao Wangsui's group also doubted the emperor's identity.

One clan elder even said bluntly, "When the emperor was born, the previous emperor was nearly seventy years old... How could he give birth to a son in fourteen months..."

The tribesmen who have been staying in Chang'an will doubt the emperor's birth, let alone the princes from other places.

Moreover, there is precedent for such a thing in Han Dynasty.

What Empress Lu did was not a secret in the Han clan.

It has been six years since the emperor succeeded to the throne, but he still has not ordered the princes and princes to enter Chang'an, which also deepens this suspicion.

Liu Yi then thought about his confrontation with the emperor. It was obvious that the emperor valued him very much.

This also made Liu Yi feel very conflicted.

Deep down in his heart, he actually had doubts about the emperor's birth.

After a while, Liu Yi whispered, "You know, you know, there are suspicions in the clan!"

Zhang Yue's eyes flashed, and he said with a serious face, "What should you say..."

Then Zhang Yue softened his tone and said, "A big man can't stand the trouble..."

Liu Yi sighed and nodded!

…

The attack and defense of Nissa City has now reached its third day.

After the previous two days of fighting, the Parthian defenders had suffered heavy casualties.

Although the Governor of Nyssa ordered all men over the age of thirteen in the city to be conscripted into the army.

But at this time, the garrison's strength was still less than 10,000, and the number of truly combat-effective troops was less than 4,000.

What's even more serious is that after two days of attack and defense, seven or eight places in the city of Nissa have been destroyed by the coalition's trebuchets.

Faced with such a situation, everyone in the garrison understood that if reinforcements did not arrive, the city of Nissa would definitely not be saved.

Outside the city of Nissa, Li Ling was in a very happy mood.

After the previous two days of attack and defense, the strength of the defenders has been severely weakened, and the main force of the coalition has not yet been truly dispatched.

"King of the right school, are you ready to attack?"

Ni Mi asked with a smile on his face.

Li Ling looked at the city of Nissa in front of him and nodded, "Let's begin!"

"attack!"

Following Ni Mi's order, numerous soldiers carrying ladders and shouting rushed towards the city of Nisa.

A large number of Xiongnu and Wusun archers followed behind the signing army and advanced.

When the signing troops were dispatched, the trebuchets also showed their power again.

Stone bullets roared towards the city head one after another, putting great pressure on the defenders.

The young men in the city who had just been recruited encountered such a tragic situation on their first battlefield.

Everyone's hands and feet were weak, and the sound of crying for father and mother resounded throughout the city.

On the contrary, the siege army had grown rapidly after two days of bloody battles.

Their combat effectiveness is far from what it was two days ago.

On the contrary, the defenders in the city were depleted after two days. Not only were the supplies for the city defense reduced a lot, but the casualties of experienced soldiers also caused the defenders' combat effectiveness to drop sharply.

Even the signing army clearly felt this, and this time the signing army quickly put the ladder up on the wall.

"boom"

At this moment, the stone bullet fired by the catapult also luckily hit the city wall that had collapsed yesterday.

"Wow"

The siege troops cheered and quickly climbed towards the top of the city.

At this time, Wujiitu also launched an attack from the east, and the Amancai people also launched an attack from the west almost at the same time.

"Can we still defend this city today?"

Governor Nissa thought bitterly.

"Warriors, let me attack... After breaking the city, we will plunder for three days..."

"Wow..."

When the coalition soldiers heard the order that they could loot the city for three days after breaking the city, they all cheered.

"attack!"

"Kill!"

Wu Dun looked at the enemy troops that were as densely packed as ants, and despair arose in his heart.

He shook his head hard, trying to drive away the negative emotions from his heart.

"Warriors, think about your parents, wives and children, and never let the barbarians attack the city..."

Udon shouted while commanding the defenders to resist the coalition attack.

Just then an arrow suddenly flew from the city.

Wu Dun was unable to dodge and was shot in the neck by an arrow.

He looked at the arrow stuck in his neck in horror and tried to breathe, but soon his vision went black.

"General Udon died in battle...General Udon died in battle..."

The soldiers around Udun shouted in terror.

Udon's death completely crushed their nerves.

The strange behavior of the garrison soldiers on the city immediately attracted the attention of a Qianqi Commander who was supervising the battle below the city.

"The descendants of Canglang...the enemy general is dead...come with me to attack..."

The Qianqi commander, without waiting for orders from the rear, decisively led his soldiers to attack.

His choice was correct. The defenders, who were in panic, had no intention of resisting the Wusun people's attack.

They shouted and fled into the city.

The Wusun people quickly boarded and controlled this section of the city wall.

After the nearby defenders discovered that this place had been lost, they initially tried to counterattack and drive the enemy troops down the city.

Unfortunately, they failed. Under the heavy fire of Wusun archers, the defenders who counterattacked were quickly driven back.

"All troops attack!"

Li Ling also noticed the changes in the battle situation at this time, and he decisively issued the order for the entire army to attack.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"Dong dong dong"

The sound of trumpets and the sound of war drums alternated.

The coalition forces finally took action.

At this time, the north gate of Nissa was also opened.

Ni Mi looked at the situation at the top of the city and felt very satisfied.

After asking for instructions from Li Ling, he personally led the cavalry towards the north gate.

Soon Ni Mi led the cavalry into the city of Nissa.

"We can't defend it anymore, abandon the city!"

Governor Nissa said to the left and right dejectedly.

Then he took his guards first and headed south of the city.

The south is the only place without enemy troops.
