After Su Lianxian finished speaking, everyone was suffocated. There was a silence in the big tent, as everyone was recalling the incredible moment.
If this group of people is really the work of Zhong Shan, then Zhong Shan is really terrible, so terrible that in just a little time, he can turn things around and turn decay into magic.
In the blink of an eye, the situation was reversed. The people who were deprived of food and trapped became an army of 800,000 people. With no way out, they were sitting and waiting to die. The morale of the army was shattered, and violent troops broke out everywhere?
Even the ancestor of the Su family felt the shock brought by these two pieces of information in an incredible way. After many years of practicing in the mountain sect, he seemed to have forgotten the cruelty of battles and killings in this world.
Give Zhong Shan time, he can really turn things around!
This was what Su Lianxian said. Everyone turned their attention to Su Lianxian again, and their eyes were full of sighs. It would have been better to listen to Su Lianxian in the first place.
"Father" Su Zhengde looked at Su Lianxian with a look of shame. Because of his judgment, his uncle, the prince, all the princes, and the Su family's bloodline were completely destroyed. There was no way out, and it became a desperate situation.
Taking a deep breath, the ancestor of the Su family looked at Su Lianxian and said: "Lianxian, you will take charge next."
Su Lianxian did his duty. This was not the time to get angry, so he had to get over the immediate crisis first.
"Well, first of all, these two messages must be blocked to prevent cholera and military morale." Su Lianxian said.
"Don't worry, father," Su Zhengde said immediately.
"Secondly, quickly mobilize 50,000 troops from each of the other three gates, bring all the eight oxen crossbow beds here, let all the soldiers have a full meal, and then officially attack the city from the south gate at all costs," Su Lianxian said.
.
"Bring the Banniu crossbow bed as well?" Su Zhengde asked doubtfully.
"Yes, Xuancheng has a moat. When we attacked the city, there were a large number of archers at the city wall and people throwing stones. It may not be easy to attack, but we can't waste it. As for the city gate, I've seen it. Zhongshan and others
It was also redesigned in 2001. You can pour boiling oil from the top of the city tower. The siege equipment cannot be used very well. Then use the eight-oxen crossbow bed to break the door. If one big arrow cannot penetrate, then ten or a hundred.
, when a hundred arrows are fired at once, we will be able to attack the city quickly." Su Lianxian said.
"Yes, I will arrange it immediately." Su Zhengde said solemnly.
"Then prepare quickly. The sooner we attack the city, the better." Su Lianxian said.
"Yeah" Su Zhengde immediately responded.
Three hours later, in the camp south of Xuancheng, the 200,000 troops turned into 350,000 troops in an instant. In front of the formation, morale was once again encouraged. All the troops were well fed and drunk, and they were ready to go. All the generals were riding horses.
The ground screamed in waves. Just waiting for the leaders to arrive.
In a small private tent in the camp, two people stood.
The Supreme Emperor Su Lianxian and the Emperor Su Zhengde.
"Father, when the army is ready to go, why did you come to me?" Su Zhengde asked doubtfully.
Looking at Su Zhengde, who he had chosen to inherit the throne, Su Lianxian said with a serious face: "I came to you, can't you tell?"
Su Zhengde was silent.
"You didn't listen to me before, which led to the bad consequences today. Now, we will lead our troops to attack Xuancheng. You have to stay and take charge of the three armies." Su Lianxian said seriously.
"Father, if we work together, it is not too difficult to capture Xuancheng. As long as we capture Xuancheng, all problems will be solved. Could it be that father has some bad premonition?" Su Zhengde said in surprise.
"Yes, I know Zhong Shan very well. He is my real opponent. For many years, I have been trying to figure out this person, but I have never been able to figure it out. Zhong Shan must have a trump card. We cannot afford to lose, especially you
, maybe after this time, you will be the only one left in our Su family." Su Lianxian reached out and straightened Su Zhengde's clothes and said.
"Father, how is this possible?" Su Zhengde said with a look of disbelief.
"Zhongshan destroyed my Su family's bloodline, and now we are the only ones left. I can die, and so can my ancestors, but you can't, because not only can you continue to pass on the Su family's bloodline, but you are also a symbol
, as long as you are around, Zhong Shan’s seizure of power will never be justified and his words will never be justified. No matter how high his prestige is, this Da Kun Kingdom still belongs to my Su family and you, the emperor. As long as there is life, there will be
The opportunity to make a comeback, and I don’t regret dying. As for my ancestor, he is already 160 years old. It is unlikely that he will break through to the golden elixir. I can also contribute to the Su family." Su Lianxian's eyes widened.
He glared.
Hearing what Su Lianxian said, Su Zhengde's heart tightened. It turned out that his father had hidden this from his ancestors.
"As long as my ancestors and I go to the battlefield, other innate masters will have no reason not to go to the battlefield. This will also give you an excuse to stay. At the same time, you can also ask Wei Taizhong to stay with you. He has been in the palace for decades.
Watching you grow up, I should be able to protect you. Remember, you must live to preserve the last trace of the Su family's blood." Su Lianxian said.
"Yes, father." Su Zhengde said with slightly red eyes.
"Okay, I'm just preparing for the worst. Maybe we can win a big victory this time and kill Zhong Shan completely." Su Lianxian said with a smile.
"Yes, father, since the child became the emperor, he has become proud. Many things have disappointed his father, and the child is unfilial." Su Zhengde said with some sadness.
Gently patting Su Zhengde on the shoulder, Su Lianxian smiled and walked out of the tent. With Su Zhengde's words, Su Lianxian felt that everything was enough.
Outside the tent, the old eunuch Wei Taizhong was waiting respectfully.
"Taizhong, when I didn't abdicate, you have been waiting for the Ouchi Palace. I trust you very much. You have seen Zhengde since you were a child. If there is any accident today, you will take care of it in the future." Su Lianxian said.
said.
After looking at Su Lianxian, Wei Taizhong nodded and said, "Yes."
After receiving Eunuch Wei's permission, Su Lianxian strode towards the gathering place of the army. But the moment Su Lianxian left, the old eunuch Wei Taizhong showed a sneer on his lips.
In front of the army, the ancestors of the Su family and two innate masters from each of the four major families were already riding on big horses, waiting for Su Lianxian.
Su Lianxian came slowly on horseback.
The ancestor of the Su family frowned and said, "Where is Zhengde and Eunuch Wei?"
"Old Ancestor, if we personally attack this battle, we will win it. I will let Zhengde lead one hundred thousand troops to garrison here. On the one hand, we can prevent enemies from coming from all directions, and on the other hand, we can coordinate the overall situation to prevent
There has been a change, after all, he is the emperor of the Kun Kingdom and needs to stabilize the morale of the army." Su Lianxian said.
What Su Lianxian said was full of loopholes, but the ancestor of the Su family didn't seem to hear it. He just nodded and didn't pursue it any further.
"Let's go" Su Lianxian shouted.
"Ho~~~"
The 250,000-strong army roared in unison, and all kinds of siege equipment rushed towards Xuancheng. Ten innate masters also rode among them. Today, Xuancheng must be captured.
The soldiers headed towards the south gate of Xuancheng, but at this time, Su Zhengde walked out of the tent, walked to the commander's platform, and personally picked up the drumsticks and beat the drums to see off the army.
Under the handsome platform, Eunuch Wei watched with cold eyes and stood quietly in a corner.
In the place of Xuancheng, Zhong Shan placed his palms on the railings of the city tower and looked confidently at the army gathering at the south gate.
Arrangements have already been made in the city, and Zhongshan is confident that he will win this battle. Even if he only has 8,000 soldiers and 30,000 men he has just summoned, it is enough for Zhongshan, because the entire Xuancheng has already been
Renovations began decades ago, and it has long been different from ordinary cities.
The army pressed on the border, and more and more soldiers gathered outside the moat.
The ten innate masters, riding on their horses, stopped in the middle of the army and looked at the forty-meter-wide moat. The opposite bank was about fifty meters away from the city wall. Fifty meters away, there happened to be the archers on the city wall.
In terms of shooting range, as long as you cross the moat, you will face damage from countless arrows fired by archers, and it will be difficult to transport siege equipment. Even if you transport it, by the time you attack the city, most of them will be dead or injured.
Moreover, directly opposite the city gate, the original bridge was demolished by Zhongshan's people in the past few days. How to get across and attack the city?
The Eight Ox Crossbow can only be effective if it is set up on the other side.
All the innate masters looked at this moment, and their hearts were full of resentment. Xuancheng's defense was actually so tight.
"Su Lianxian, have you finally decided to attack the city?" Zhong Shan said coldly on the tower in the distance.
All the innate masters looked at Su Lianxian together, because it had been determined before that the commander-in-chief this time was Su Lianxian, and Su Lianxian himself, when he was the emperor, often led military expeditions in person, and was very powerful in leading troops in battles.
Su Lianxian ignored Zhong Shan and looked at the huge city gate in front of him.
"Take the land~~~"
Su Lianxian pointed at the huge moat in front of him and shouted, at this moment, no expense was spared.
It was obviously too late to fill the river, but Su Lianxian had his own way.
"Drink~~~"
The army shouted loudly, and the first group of infantrymen quickly ran forward carrying a long raft. They quickly threw the raft into the moat, and then the second group of infantrymen ran over with the raft. The infantrymen wanted to use the raft to quickly fill it.
A piece of land was created on the river, and many rafts were quickly tied together in the river for the army to quickly attack the city.
"Brother Lian Xian is really awesome. I have always wondered why I brought these rafts with me before and didn't know the explanation. Now I finally understand." An innate master immediately said excitedly.
Thinking of the large number of rafts, everyone was excited. Soon, the moat will become a decoration.
"I have been preparing this raft for twenty years for this day." Su Lianxian said in a deep voice. There was no pride in his tone, but it was extremely solemn.
Twenty years ago, were you ready to attack Xuancheng twenty years ago? And you designed various siege measures?
While all the innate masters were feeling proud, in the distance, Zhongshan on top of the city tower seemed to have expected that the opponent would be like this, with an imperceptible smile overflowing from the corner of his mouth.
