War drums were beating, roars filled the sky, and the aftermath shook the nine heavens and ten lands, filled with murderous intent.
In the dark, there seems to be a big hand covering the sky, protruding from the depths of the dark clouds, making people breathless.
[Shangjing] City, on the city wall that stretches for dozens of kilometers, is full of troops bearing the emblem of the Chen royal family.
At this time, they looked at the overwhelming dust and sand coming from the distance with a look of death.
On the city wall, senior officials of the Chen royal family, such as the old patriarch Chen Xiaotian, Grand Master Chen Enze, thirteen Taifus, thirty-six Taibao, Chen Xiaofeng, Chen Xiaoxiong and others were all listed.
Also accompanying him were Ren Changgeng of the Ren family and Luo Wenchuan of the Luo family, two of the four major families in Shangjing.
At this time, Chen Yinghao looked around.
"Everyone is here?"
"Except for the Zhou and Sun families, everyone else is here."
Chen Enze responded.
Chen Xiaotian snorted coldly, "They promised to help us before, but they haven't shown up yet, so they must have betrayed them temporarily?
coward!"
Chen Yinghao sighed and said, "If you don't want to come, don't come. Facing the thousands of troops like Yan Yun's army, let alone them, I feel a little timid."
Boom boom boom!!
The sound of war drums was heard again, deafening and deafening. It crossed the thick city wall, spread into the city of Shangjing, and reached this ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, making everyone panic.
In a simple courtyard, a six-year-old child quietly opened the door a crack, looked at the deserted street, and asked in a childish voice.
"Grandpa, I want to go out and play."
Behind him, an old man slowly shook his head and said, "Ren Ren, it's not peaceful outside in the past two days. You have to stay at home."
The child pouted, "Stay at home, I'm bored to death."
At this moment, a hint of coldness hit the child's cheek.
The child looked up at the sky and said, "Grandpa, it's going to rain."
Hearing this, the old man also raised his head and glanced, "The sky is unpredictable, and this rain will come at any time."
Then, the old man said something that the child could not understand.
"I just hope that the Chen royal family and this ancient capital can stay safe and sound."
In another courtyard, a woman, leading her young son, was praying devoutly to the sky.
"Ancestors, if you have spirits in heaven, please bless the Chen family and my husband for his safe return."
The little girl next to me followed suit, and then asked curiously, "Mom, is dad going to war?"
Will he come back?"
The woman hugged the little girl, with tears in her eyes, "Yes, your father will definitely come back."
In a temple in the city, several monks were also solemnly playing wooden fish and chanting something.
What they pray for is nothing more than blessing the city of Shangjing and the safety of the Chen royal family.
All kinds of things like this are happening in various places in the city of Shangjing.
Although, the Chen royal family may not have much favorable impression in the eyes of some hereditary clans.
But it has to be said that under the "governance" of the Chen royal family in [Shangjing], the people live and work in peace and contentment, and their lives are prosperous.
If the Chen royal family collapses and [Shangjing] changes hands, who can guarantee whether the next 'ruler' will be good or bad?
Ordinary people do not seek any glory or wealth, they only seek to live a stable life.
Therefore, in this war, some people criticized the Chen royal family, but most people still hoped that the Chen royal family would be safe.
The wind blows wildly, the sand rises, and the clouds turn into rain and fall to the ground.
In the distant plains, densely packed human figures can be seen, and the black flags of Yanyun's army are like hungry wolves hunting in the wind at night.
Not long after, this army, said to number 400,000, finally came to the city.
The oppressive momentum and terrifying formations soared straight into the sky!
"Ancestors, they are coming."
Chen Xiaotian said in a deep voice.
Chen Yinghao raised his eyes and said, "Help me up."
Chen Xiaotian and Chen Enze, one on the left and the other on the right, helped Chen Yinghao to the city wall.
At this time, Chen Yinghao was wearing golden armor.
This armor has witnessed the ancestors of the Chen royal family fighting on the battlefield and making great achievements.
Today, Chen Yinghao wears it on his body, hoping that his ancestors have spirits in heaven and can bless the Chen royal family and continue their glory for thousands of years.
The yellow sand will wear golden armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will never be returned until it is broken.
If you don't succeed in this battle, you will be benevolent!
"Are the people above a traitor from the Chen Royal Family?"
"I, the Yanyun army, have been ordered by heaven to come to attack and eliminate harm for the people."
"Why don't you quickly disarm and surrender obediently?"
A roar passed through the void of a hundred feet and reached the ears of everyone on the city wall.
It turned out to be a soldier of Yanyun's army, and he started shouting in front of the formation.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Chen family army was filled with indignation.
"What do you mean by accepting orders from heaven! You are just holding on to wild ambitions and want to annex the power of our Chen royal family, strengthen yourself, and pursue your own selfish desires!"
Chen Enze pointed at the enemy camp and roared, "You unknown soldier, why don't you retreat quickly and ask your immediate superior to come out and speak!"
The man sneered for a moment and looked at another part of the city wall.
Everyone was stunned and followed each other's gaze.
I saw two teams, about a hundred people, arrogantly pushing through the crowded crowd and coming straight to Chen Yinghao and the others.
The first two people, both with fair hair and childish faces, walk like a dragon and walk like a tiger. They are similar in age to Chen Yinghao. Thanks to years of training, their whole bodies exude a thunderous momentum.
The visitors were none other than Zhou Linlang, the old head of the Zhou family, and Sun Huamao, the old head of the Sun family, two of the four major families in Shangjing.
"Old Ancestor Chen, and everyone in the Chen family, how do you like the scenery above the city wall?"
Zhou Linlang spoke first, with a joking look on her face, looking at Chen Yinghao and others with a smile.
Chen Yinghao frowned, "Patriarch Zhou, Patriarch Sun, what are you doing?"
Only Sun Huamao responded, "We just went to your Chen Mansion and saw that your door was wide open, and there were many old, weak, women and children inside without anyone to look after them. I thought this would not work, so I sent heavy troops to guard them."
When everyone in the Chen family heard this, their expressions changed drastically.
"You two families have rebelled?"
Zhou Linlang waved her hand, "Master Chen, please don't speak so harshly. We call those who understand current affairs a hero."
"In this war, your Chen royal family's defeat has been determined. You are stubborn and want to die generously, but we haven't lived enough yet."
When everyone heard this, their faces turned red with anger.
Previously, the Chen family had discussed with the four major families of Shangjing, hoping that they would help the Chen royal family to defend the city of Shangjing.
At that time, both the Zhou and Sun families agreed on the spot.
But seeing that the war was about to begin, the Zhou and Sun families had not arrived for a long time, presumably because they regretted it temporarily.
Everyone in the Chen family can still understand this. After all, there is a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves. Facing a battle with a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves, it is inevitable that some people will escape.
However, everyone in the Chen family had calculated everything, but they never expected that the Zhou and Sun families would actually rebel!
In order to cope with this war, the Chen royal family has deployed all its troops on the front line, leaving the backyard empty.
The Zhou and Sun families must have planned ahead and found the right opportunity to take advantage of this loophole.
