On the city wall, Zhongli Jun came staggeringly, holding a wine bottle in his hand. Zui Xunxun said to Tong Libai, "You have tried your best."
The voice is weak.
"If you surrender, our Zhongli Kingdom will be destroyed." Tong Libai said with unwillingness, "How can Zhongli Kingdom be destroyed in my hands?"
Zhongli Jun was unsteady on his feet, swaying and shaking his head, pointing at himself and laughing: "You ruined it in my hands, you don't have to blame yourself, haha."
Tong Libai felt sad.
At this time, Wu's 100,000-strong army came with arrogance and arrogance, and the darkness was overwhelming, making people feel endless despair. Everyone in Zhongli Kingdom was shocked, looking at the 100,000-strong army outside the city with earth-colored faces.
This time Wu Jun was determined to destroy Zhongli Kingdom.
"When will the Chu army arrive?"
Tong Libai asked, still feeling lucky in her heart, hoping that the Chu army would arrive in time.
"Prince, there is no movement from the Chu army."
A scout said.
Tong Libai remained silent for a long time.
This time, it seems impossible to think of surviving in the cracks between the two powerful countries of Wu and Chu.
"Prince, surrender."
"Prince, surrender."
At this time, many people came to persuade me.
Tong Libai acted as if she didn't hear anything, and her eyes fell on the soldier, but the soldier was trembling all over, and his legs and feet were shaking non-stop.
Zhong Liguo's morale has long been lost, how can he continue to fight?
Even if we can defeat and defend the city this time, what about next time? Besides, there is a more powerful Chu State in the south...
But I am unwilling to do so.
Tong Libai screamed in her heart, then she suddenly raised her head and shouted: "All the soldiers obey the order and defend the city to the death."
"promise."
Many soldiers answered loudly.
However, many people's expressions changed drastically and they wanted to stop the prince's resistance.
At this time, Tong Libai walked down the city wall, making everyone on the city wall stunned for a moment. What is the prince doing?
Tong Libai stepped down from the city wall and walked to the City God's Temple on the hill to the east of the city.
If Zhongli had a great sage sitting in charge, this situation would not have happened at all. Let alone a great sage, even a great Confucian could defend Zhongli City and Zhongli Country.
It is a pity that Zhongli State does not have a great scholar.
At this time, Tong Libai's only hope lies in the City God's Temple, praying to the Qingshan City God to save Zhongli City...
"City God's Temple?"
Everyone on the city wall was stunned for a moment.
In the past few days, almost the entire Zhongli Kingdom knew that the Crown Prince had built a City God's Temple in order to protect Zhongli City with the City God's Temple...
But how many people take it seriously?
Many people on the city wall shook their heads when they saw this scene.
Tong Libai walked into the City God's Temple, knelt down in front of the statue in the main hall, and said: "Prince Zhongli, Tong Libai, please pray to Qingshan City God to bless my country, Zhongli, and my city, Zhongli..."
At this time, some of the prince's followers came down from the city wall and came towards the City God's Temple.
"Will Qingshan City God really protect me, Zhongli City?"
There were scholars on the city wall asking.
"Who knows?"
Most people shook their heads, not believing that Qingshan City God would protect Zhongli City.
However, many people knelt down to the City God's Temple and prayed in their hearts, praying to the Qingshan City God to protect Zhongli City...
Tong Libai was kind to the people, so many people's hearts were still towards Zhongli Guo.
Moreover, Zhongli's army was firmly in the hands of the prince.
After a while, more and more people knelt down to worship. Especially in Zhongli City, people knelt down one after another. Immediately afterwards, even the soldiers on the city wall slowly knelt down to worship.
Qingshan City God became their last hope.
In the City God's Temple.
"Prince, Wu Jun has faith."
A scout came forward with a bow and offered a letter of persuasion to surrender.
"Burned."
Tong Libai didn't even look at it.
"Prince, Wu Jun has said that if he does not surrender before sunset, he will..."
Soon after, another scout came forward.
"Anyone who surrenders to Wu and Chu will be killed."
After a while, Tong Libai coldly ordered that even if he surrendered, he would not let the traitors have an easy time...
"promise!"
As a result, many people on the city wall were killed by soldiers.
"Prince, don't be ignorant!"
After a traitor was arrested, he pointed at Tong Libai and cursed, "Zhongli is like a mantis blocking a car in front of Wu's 100,000 troops. Do you want us, 100,000 people, to be buried with Zhongli? With you?"
Tong Libai sighed after hearing this.
The people in the city can surrender, and even the soldiers can surrender, but Tong Libai cannot surrender. At this time, Tong Libai said to the people around him: "After sunset, you can surrender."
"Prince."
"Prince."
The people around me said again and again.
"Don't say any more." Tong Libai sighed and said, "I, Tong Libai, cannot surrender..."
As time passed, the sun set.
At this time, the Wu army had already pressed forward, and it was only a few miles away from Zhongli City.
"Why are there so many people kneeling here?"
A general from the state of Wu pointed at the Chenghuang Temple and said in surprise.
"Back to the general, a few days ago, Prince Zhongli built a temple, which seems to be the Qingshan City God Temple." Someone replied, "This may be to worship the Qingshan City God."
"Qingshan City God's Temple?"
The Wu general frowned.
In the past few days, the name of Qingshan City God has become famous all over the world. How can you not know it?
"What do they mean by this? Do they still want to pray to the Qingshan City God for protection?" The general of Wu frowned and said with a bit of disdain.
"According to the news sent back by the scouts, Prince Zhongli once said that the Qingshan City God is the god of the city and can protect the safety of the city."
"absurd!"
The general of Wu State snorted coldly and said: "Finally, I urge Long to attack the city if he doesn't surrender before sunset."
"promise."
At this time, Wu State sent literati to personally persuade them to surrender, and their voices spread throughout Zhongli City.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, bravely championed the three armies, and was born in the world. He gave up the small ambitions of sparrows and worshiped the swans in order to fly high! My dynasty forgives sins and blames merits, abandons shortcomings and recruits, promotes the whole world with a sincere heart, and calms down all things. If you know your way back, you will go there.
Zhe is with you, not far away, and the first code is high. Your Majesty bends the law to express your kindness, but swallows the boat and it is a leak. Your Highness, the pines and cypresses are not cut, your relatives live in peace, the high platform has not fallen, and your beloved concubine is still there. What can you say about your long-lasting heart!
Today's meritorious generals, flying geese in an orderly manner, wearing purple and yellow, praising the strategy of curtains and gates, riding on horseback to build festivals, taking charge of the territory, and punishing horses to swear oaths to pass down to their descendants..."
But Tong Libai remained unmoved.
"It's sunset."
At this time, Tong Libai walked out of the Chenghuang Temple and looked at the sunset on the horizon.
Rumble——
When the Wu army saw that Zhongli had not surrendered for a long time, they sent troops and horses to press forward, which immediately shocked the whole Zhongli City.
"What should I do?"
"Prince, surrender. If you don't surrender, the Wu army will massacre the city."
In Zhongli City, many people were pleading.
"Swear to defend the city to the death!"
"Swear to defend the city to the death!"
There were soldiers roaring on the city wall.
"Wait, surrender."
Tong Libai glanced at Zhongli City and walked towards the Wu army.
"Prince."
"Prince."
The people around the prince looked at the prince in pain.
At this time, the sky quickly darkened, leaving everyone stunned for a moment. Although it was sunset, there was still the afterglow, so why did it get dark all of a sudden?
Rumble——
Suddenly there was the sound of rolling waves between heaven and earth.
The sound of the waves immediately covered up the sound of rolling horse hooves, and seemed to exude a strange aura, making everyone stunned.
Why is there the sound of waves in Zhongli City?
When everyone was stunned, they saw a mysterious and terrifying river, which seemed to come from the darkness breaking through the layers of space.
