On the prairie, regardless of status, there is always an unbreakable truth.
People will only follow and believe in those who are powerful and can bring them cattle, sheep, population and land.
It is not that there was no struggle for power within the Liao Kingdom, and it was even more ferocious and brutal than other countries.
Although the Yelu royal family has been the dominant family for hundreds of years, they cannot let them have only one voice in the entire Liao Kingdom. The other great nobles in the Liao Kingdom are still powerful.
Therefore, even if Yelu Shenxuan has already determined the identity of the crown prince, based on his sacred legends on the grassland for many years, there is no problem in succeeding to the throne, but if he wants to convince the nobles to recognize him as the new king, he still needs to pay
Huge price.
This battle was the shortcut he chose to take.
He doesn't have that much time and energy to spend on internal consumption.
He wants to use the simplest and most direct strength to Zheng Ming, and he can bring the Liao Kingdom to a whole new level.
And if he loses, his prestige will be ruined, and there may even be problems with his succession.
Therefore, for Yelu Shenxuan, he had placed a heavy bet on this battle and could only succeed and was not allowed to fail.
With complex thoughts in mind, Yelu Shenxuan came to the position at the east gate.
Here he could see a steady stream of soldiers under his command, risking their lives and rushing towards Crescent Pass. The city wall of Crescent Pass was like a chasm standing between heaven and earth, blocking the Liao army for decades.
Huge boulders and tung oil continued to be sprinkled on the city wall, killing many Liao soldiers each time, but anyone could see that the Qin army's defense was already showing signs of weakness.
This weakness may be able to persist now, but as the war situation becomes worse, it will only become more serious, eventually affecting morale and causing the entire defense line to collapse.
No matter how tall and thick the city wall is, it must be guarded by someone. An unguarded city wall is just a pile of huge rocks and dead objects.
As if he had a tacit understanding, Yelu Shenxuan suddenly raised his head and looked at the east city gate.
There, Yelu Shenxuan saw a familiar figure.
Li Chen stood behind the wall, looking at Yelu Shenxuan from afar.
Li Chen didn't expect to see Yelu Shenxuan before leaving.
When the two people saw each other, their eyes were like lightning.
The distance was too far and the scene was too noisy for them to talk or communicate, but they could understand each other's eyes.
"Assault battering ram!!!"
A crackling roar interrupted the look between Li Chen and Yelu Shenxuan.
This was roared by Guzha Wandashan.
After he finished roaring, several huge trees were tied together and after special modifications formed an extremely huge hammer. This hammer required the combined efforts of hundreds of soldiers to hold it up.
This is the weapon in siege warfare, the battering ram.
No one can stop it.
These more than a hundred soldiers, holding battering rams in their arms, rushed towards the east gate of Crescent Moon Pass like crazy.
"Down with tung oil! Down with tung oil!!!"
On the city wall, Wang Dazhao's teeth were cracking.
After he finished roaring angrily, he personally picked up a basin of scalding hot and smoking tung oil, and sprinkled it onto the rapidly approaching siege ram under the city wall.
Hot oil rolled up, poured on the battering ram, and then on the soldiers holding the battering ram.
These soldiers let out earth-shattering screams, and the tung oil burned to a temperature of several hundred degrees could kill anyone instantly.
Then rockets shot out, and the tung oil was immediately ignited!
